Fringed 4th of July Card Tutorial

Posted on July 3, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Birthday, America! For today’s fringed card, I wanted to create something that had movement so I took out my fringe scissors and went to town with my strips of red, white and blue patterned papers. Of course, using my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, I adhered everything all together. What do you think?

Making the Fringed Card

After I cut my fringes (two layers for each color), I placed Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ on the back edge of each fringe and adhered onto my white A2-sized (4.25 x 5.5 inches) card base.

I fussy cut the sentiment and stars from patterned papers. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I placed the stars onto the sentiment and let dry.

For more dimension and not to flatten the fringes, I used 3D Foam Squares White, Regular on the back of the sentiment. Took off the liner and center on the card front.

The finishing touch of glitter in the centers of the stars and it’s ready to go! Another look…

Posted on July 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a thank you card using some brilliant Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products featuring the beautiful Tissue Tapes.

IMG_4184 Square

I’ve chosen to use two designs – one from Denim and Flower and the other from Ash and Oak.

Affixed three strips vertically onto my card front.

Thanks CEmberson 3

I stamped some foliage images and die cut as embellishments, affixed in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

Thanks CEmberson 4

The sentiment has been stamped onto a very narrow piece of card, easily adhered with E-Z Runner Micro Refillable – this dispenses a narrow strip which is perfect for accurate precision.

Thanks CEmberson 5

Added a few more die cut flowers and gemstones to finish.

Up The Happy with Dimension using 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello, it’s Amy here with a Happy Card 🙂 After I did all the die-cutting, it was super quick to assemble and bring dimension by using 3D Foam Squares White Regular to the mix. There’s very little coloring involved because the plaid paper brought in so much.

Hola! We are in full summer break mode and I feel like all we are doing is running all over the place…I’m hoping for some dog says of summer here real quick! In the mean time, I have a 4th of July Celebrate card tutorial to share!

Celebrate Card using E-Z Runner Grand by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With the 4th of July just around the corner, I thought red white and blue was more than appropriate here. The firework bursts are from flowers from Clearly Besotted, they double perfectly as fireworks don’t you think?

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-2

To start, I stamped the main panel shown above. Then using the E-Z Runner® Grand, I adhered the camped panel to the blue layer.

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-4

To pop my blue layer up, I use the Crafty Foam Tape in white to adhere to my card base.

Americana Star Banner Tutorial

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello! Judy here with you today! Are you ready to for the 4th of July? Why not put together an easy Americana Star Banner to add a touch of red, white and blue to your home décor to help celebrate?

Making the Americana Star Banner

I’ve used a canvas pennants as the base with blue star ribbon and red, white and blue fabrics.

I cut a 2½ x 5ʺ rectangle from stripe fabric (about same width as pennant) and a triangle that is 4¾ʺ across top and 4¼ʺ along sides towards the point. Next die cut 3 sizes of stars from worn denim, dot/navy fabric and canvas. I’m using the back side of the denim and dot fabric as I liked the color better!

The rectangle of stripe fabric forms a casing at the top. I’ve fastened it to the canvas pennant with decoupage glue by lapping and gluing it to the stitching line. Then I folded it to the back and glued it there. The trick is to use enough yet not saturate the fabrics! I used a thick line for the casing. On the rest of the pennant I used a light application and left edges loose.

Next I adhered the triangle piece to the pennant.

I cut a piece of ribbon and fastened it in place with decoupage medium. The ends are trimmed even with the pennant.

Layer the stars, fasten together and glue them to pennant.

Then I placed a 3D Foam Star to the center of red button, careful placement hides the holes! Use a second star on top to build it up a bit if the button had a concave center like mine. After removing the paper liner I dusted the star with powder so it wasn’t sticky- you could use glitter too!

I used a Dodz Adhesive Dot Medium on back of button and fastened it to the pennant.

Now repeat these steps to make 2 more pennants. With a very large eye needle, I threaded heavy twine through the casings to create the banner. I tied a loop at each end of the twine, and pieces of torn striped fabric around twine between the pennants. Add bows of dark blue and white twine around tiny clothespins. Clip these to top of each pennant.

Another Twist on the Americana Home Decor

I had so much fun putting this banner together that I decided to make a 4th pennant.

I followed the same steps above to make it. Start with a small wood dowel in the casing. W wrap wire around one end, form a hanging loop and wrap the wire around the other end of the dowel. Tie a bow of several strands of twine around the wire and tied a piece of torn fabric, too. This is even quicker than the banner and so cute!
Love Stars and Red, White and Blue!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Making the Home of the Brave Card

For this card, I did some stamping, a little bit of die cutting and with the magic of adhesives created this beauty.

Die cut white card stock, stamp sentiment in red ink at the top of the panel, then adhere red strips of card stock to the panel with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.
Die cut two circle dies, one blue, one white. Stamp sentiment onto the white die cut, then adhere the circles together and then onto the card using Crafty Foam Tape White.
Adhere twine to the card using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Hello! Michele here with a card to celebrate the official start of summer (albeit a few days late!)

Summer Begins card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This stamp set was screaming to be used! I colored it with colored pencils, and then added some white highlights with a white gel pen.

I used some pink twine and Crafty Foam Tape in White to give the card a bit of depth and dimension. To keep the bow from sliding around, I snuck a Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini under the knot.

3 – I adhered a flower motive I cuted out with scissors with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Some yarn left overs from my last sew session I adhered with some small 3D Foam Squares Mix – white by simple laying them behind the die cut flower. Then I put it onto my card.

4 – To adhere some petals I used also stripes of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser

5 – I adhered the decorated card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

My Dad is a Star Father’s Day Card!

Posted on June 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Father’s Day Card. This is the one I’ve made for my very special Dad.

CEmberson - Dad Card 1

I gathered together my brown card base, patterned paper and affixed to card front using using E-Z Runner® Ultra – this is an ultra strong, permanent, double-sided adhesive in a refillable dispenser. It dispenses a clear line of adhesive and is immediately tacky – perfect!

CEmberson - Dad Card 2

CEmberson - Dad Card 3

My die cuts need dimension and because the majority are dark coloured card I chose to use 3D Foam Squares both Regular and Small in black. You can purchase a mixed pack with both sizes – very handy!

Twine is secured in place around the star die cut with Crafty Power Tape.

How to Embellish a Father’s Day Home Decor Gift with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Posted on June 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

I purchased this metal letter “H” and thought it would be fun to embellish it for my husband in honor of Father’s Day! Using a combination of different Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, I ended up with this piece for his office 🙂

Embellished Fathers Day Metal Letter Home Decor by Margie Higuchi

Starting with an element that needs time to dry, I looped navy twine three times. To keep its shape, I covered it with Art Medium on a Teflon® non-stick craft sheet. Not only can it adhere but it can seal and stiffen materials. Truly one of my “Go To” mediums!

While the twine dries, I rolled some stars on the metal letter “H”. Then I pressed and rubbed Pigment Powder Gold into them. Use a small piece of baby wipe to clean the excess powder.

On the lower left side of the letter, I added two layers of ribbon for texture. Using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ Permanent, I adhered White Burlap Ribbon to the metal and then Dark Denim Ribbon with white stars on top.

MargieHiguchi 500 EmbellishedFathersDayHomeDecor Jun1716 Step3

For the star embellishment, I used gold pigment powder and silver pigment powder to color the 3D Foam Stars. Set aside to add later.

Now to adhere my looped twine embellishment. Again, I used Art Medium by dipping the twine into the jar. Place on top of the layered ribbon and press down to secure. The medium will dry clear.

After the twine dries, I placed the embellished 3D Foam Star on top but at the top, I added a 3D Foam Square White, Regular to keep the star leveled, It was also a good place to push my memo pin in.

MargieHiguchi 500 EmbellishedFathersDayHomeDecor Jun1716 Step7

I trimmed a photo of my “boys” and slid in the memo pin. He can change out the picture and use magnets to hold small notes on the metal surface. Now it’s ready to give on Father’s Day 🙂
