Follow Your Heart Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial

Posted on February 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Hello, it’s Michele here with a layered, lacy Valentine heart shaped shaker card! Love is in the air and shades of pink and red are everywhere! (Who knew I was a poet?) I also have a few step by step photos down below to show how I created the shaker heart.

A few extra touches to make the card extra special…..

follow your heart3

follow your heart2

Making the Heart Shape

Layer this gorgeous floral washi tape over a scrap piece of card stock.

follow your heart tut

Use 2 heart shaped dies and nest them like this to make a cut out in the center.

follow your heart tut1

For texture, adhere a piece of acetate and lace trim to the edge of the heart.

TIP: I used clothespins to hold the lace in place until the glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen dried.

Making the Shaker

Then flip it over to the backside and fill the center with sequins, micro beads and glass seed beads.

follow your heart tut4

Using my 3D Foam Creative Sheets, die cut the same heart design as above with the washi tape.

follow your heart tut3

Now place it on the back of the heart, cut one more heart out of acetate and position that directly over the foam heart. It is difficult to see in the picture, but this seals it up, so the beads don’t fall out!

follow your heart tut5

I use blue twine, but don’t want it to be bright white, so it is aged it a bit with some walnut ink. If the color is too dark you can rinse it under a bit of water or pat it with a tissue to absorb some of the ink.

follow your heart tut6

Next the card is finished with a sentiment, a water colored flower, and a few pearls. Adhere these with Adhesive Dots Small. Layer the heart and lacy die cuts beneath it with Crafty Foam Tape White.

White Birthday Rose

Posted on February 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi There,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a white Birthday Rose using ribbons and Adhesives.

It was one of those situations where you quickly need a flower and as it will not wither, I have picked some ribbons.

Here is my tutorial for you.

1) Use the white burlap, cut a small stripe and remove some threads.

2) Rolle up the ribbon and used DODZ Adhesive Dots Small to adhere it in the middle and at the end.

3) This will be the inner part of the flower.

4) Prepare some stripes of Gauze or cheesecloth.

5) Make the gauze more handly and a bit bigger by turning once. Use the Crafty Power Tape and apply a stripe in the middle.

6) Then turn it once.

7) Use again the DODZ Adhesive Dots Small to adhere it by rolling up the gauze around the inner piece. The first stripe of gauze use with the frayed upward.

8) Roll up the second stripe of gauze with the folded site up. Also use the DODZ Adhesive Dots Small here and there to adhere it.

9) To make it strong use some thin wire. First heat the white organza, then thread the wire through the fabric ribbon.

10) Again roll it up around the inner flower. Bend the wire ends together.

11) I used a second ribbon to make my rose bigger.

12) This it what it looks now.

13) Use a wooden skewer as a stem. Push it carefully through the ribbons.

14) Now you can cover up the lower part of the rose by another ribbon. I used a stripe of burlap and Gauze together by threading the wire.

15) Pull the ends together.

16) Lay it around the stem and bend the wire ends together. The drooping ends of the gauze are the leaves.

Now it’s up to you to color the rose, I decided to let it naturally.

I can’t tell you how much I love this cute Rose. It’s not easy to give it away. 😉

It was a fun project and I enjoyed every minute on it.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Adding Washi Tape to a Scrapbook Layout

Posted on February 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here to share a layout of my granddaughter. Can’t have too many of those 🙂

The E-Z Runner® Grand is definitely my go to adhesive when adhering pieces to my layouts. I always add stitching here and there so I just need a couple of strips on the back of my panels and pieces. Another thing I love to add, and I especially love this wood grain one is washi tape. I even created a little tab for the top of my tag cluster using the tape.

I used the 3D Foam Squares on the bird die cut as well as the letters.

And just one more photo, just because I love to look at my little peanut 🙂 and it is also a closeup of the tape.

Make My Heart Smile with 3D Foam Hearts and Pigment Powder Card Tutorial

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Hello everyone! I am so excited to show you all my Valentines Day card. When I saw these 3D Foam Hearts, balloons came to mind! LOL! This is the card I created…what do you think?

Make My Heart Smile with 3D Foam Hearts and Pigment Powder Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi

I started by grabbing my 3D Foam Hearts and some Pigment Powder in Pink Wine…LOVE the combination (you can use Foil, glitter, embossing powder, micro beads or more!) All you have to do after removing the liner is rub the powders into the shape. Fabulous shimmer to them too 🙂 Bonus: I rubbed gold foil on a small heart as accent.

Next I placed them on a white cardstock card panel, poked holes by lifting each bottom tip of the larger hearts and thread Twine in Pink through. To secure the twine, I adhere them with Dodz Adhesive Dots Small (double-sided clear adhesive dots) in the back.

Once I finished I used another Dodz Adhesive Dots Small to adhere the three Twine strands in the front. Then I tied a bow and secured it with another Adhesive Dots Small to finish. Set aside.

Let’s work on the card base. I had an A2 (4.25 x 5.5″) pink card base that I embossed with heart design embossing folder. I cut 4.25 x 1.5″ strip out of patterned paper. Adhered with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Going back to the card panel, I stamped the sentiment and edged the panel with the same ink as sentiment. Added sequins for a little sparkle with Art Medium. It needed a little bit more, so I placed Creative Photo Corners Gold and then I adhered the card panel with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular to card base.

So, what do you think?!

Hello Heart Card

Posted on February 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. Thinking of Valentine’s Day in a less traditional red heart way, I’ve chosen to make a heart card using more subtle colours.

I created my card base from kraft card, selected patterned paper and die cut a square aperture.

Affixed a piece of cream pearlised card to the card front (to show through the aperture) using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable.

To my patterned aperture front I attached Creative Photo Corners Kraft to each corner.

To the reverse I attached Crafty Foam Tape.

For the aperture design I die cut a heart frame, inserted a different colour die cut heart and a smaller one – all affixed with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

Simple to make and speedy with all your Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to hand.

Thanks for stopping by today and don’t forget to check out all the great products on the website.

Pocket of Love Canvas

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! It’s the beginning of February and to me that brings thoughts of Valentine’s Day and all things love! So I made a Pocket of Love canvas filled with tags ready to add notes of love, encouragement and appreciation for someone special. I think this would be fun to use all year, especially for a young girl.

To create the Pocket of Love canvas, I used the back side of canvas. I cut ragged strips (about 4ʺ) of cheesecloth. I brushed the Art Medium onto the canvas edges and pressed the cheesecloth into it. I added a rectangle of cheesecloth in the canvas center that laps over the edges. All pieces were scrunched into the Art Medium to form wrinkles and folds. Inks were lightly rubbed over it when dry.

I added a denim pocket from scrap material. The edge is folded over and secured with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. A piece of pink twine was woven through a piece of Lace Ribbons. It’s fastened to pocket edge with Art Medium which worked fantastic to bond the lace to denim! A button with twine bow is fastened with a Adhesive Dots 3D. A couple little stickers are tucked under the pocket flap.

The pink metallic die cut “love” was placed on Adhesive Sheets to make it a sticker to add to the pocket. The pocket is fastened to the canvas with Crafty Foam Tape Black and Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. I used both to get dimension with the Crafty Foam Tape and better adhesion for the fabric with Extreme Double-Sided Tape. I applied the Extreme Double-Sided Tape to both sides of strips of the Crafty Foam Tape to fasten the pocket to the canvas.

The die cut tags are decorated with washi tape, twine, lace and other ribbons, plus papers, stickers and die cut “Love”.

All that’s left is to add some personal words of LOVE!
I hope you’ve learned a new technique that you can apply to your creative projects! Make your own Pocket of Love for someone special!
Happy Creating!
Judy Hayes

You Have my Heart card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on January 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello! With Valentines day quickly approaching I figured I better get all the hearts and pink used while I can. 😉

I’m quite happy with how this turned out, and luckily, can hand deliver since it’s popped up just a bit.

To get started, you will need your die of choice, card stock, glitter, and Adhesive Sheets, this one is 6 X 12″ in size.

Pull back the yellow lining and place your card stock down, pressing into the adhesive. Here, I have laid my die on the backside, because I want the front of it to be sticky. Depending on which side you need/want to be sticky is where you can place the die. Run your die through your machine.
Pull the backing away, a little at a time, (this is so I have something to hold on to while adding glitter) and sprinkle glitter over the top.

I then die cut two more from foam so I could have some dimension.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment on to my grey card stock, then adhered it to my card front using Crafty Foam Tape. I added a layer of vellum to the card using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine (which is awesome for Vellum), and I then adhered my hearts all to each other and the card using Dodz™.

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

You Are Strong Mixed Media Canvas

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa back with another mixed media piece today and I had such a good time creating this one…it just flowed. I LOVE when that happens. Here’s what I created:

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-1

Fun, isn’t it? And (as usual for me) it’s not that hard to create. The finished piece is a 5″ x 7″ flat panel canvas. So it’s perfect for gift giving.

Start by using Art Medium to adhere pieces of torn tissue paper randomly to the canvas. Make sure that the pieces are dry before moving on.

Once the medium is dry then you may begin adding the acrylic paints of your choice. This part is entirely subjective. What I find appealing YOU may not. 😉 I used a teal, lime, and orange.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-3

Then I added some Gauze and stuck in place with more Art Medium. Once dry, I applied more paint on top of the gauze and on the canvas. I used a spatula adding the paint this time to create more depth and deeper color.

(In the photo below the medium is not dry so it still appears white, once it dries it is transparent and blends in.)

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-4

I had some die-cut butterflies.

Then add a small square from the 3D Foam Squares – Black, Mix to the back of each butterfly and slightly curve the wings to make them look more dimensional.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-5

(The shimmer of the Silver Pigment Powder really shows in this photo!)

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-6

Lastly stamp a selected sentiment. Using an archival ink is preferable.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-7

I added a touch of a white pigment pen around the sentiment to help highlight it. Using your finger with this type of pen is super easy. A watered down white acrylic paint (or Gesso) is an alternative if you don’t have this type of pen.

And here’s a little close-up of the where the gauze is so you can see all the texture it has:

Lava Lamp!

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a fun Valentine to share with you today! I loved lava lamps as a kid and decided it would be perfect for a love card! I used E-Z squares® to adhere the polka dot paper and the center piece as well. I added glittery hearts in shades of pink as well as a random gold sticker from my stash.

I used Dodz™-small to attach the hearts, clear dots, and the ribbon. I love that they are so easy to use!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy your Sunday!

Supplies: Dodz-Small,™, E-Z Squares®, die cut machine, ribbon, glitter, Dew Drops, glitter, ink (pink), card stock
