Using Crafty Foam Tape on a Card

Posted on May 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with a quick and easy card. Life is so busy right now, quick and easy is all I have time for!

I made this card for hubby and I am sure you know… he doesn’t really think about all the work that goes into a project, so I am ok with giving him a simple just because card.

I adhered the background panels with E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. After die cutting the sentiment, I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere a background paper behind it.

To mount the sentiment panel to the card I used the Crafty Foam Tape White (13′)

Like I said quick and easy 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Washi Tape Jar Bookmark Tutorial

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Today I wanted to share a quick and easy gift of a bookmark for mom on Mother’s Day. Find a nice book and place this bookmark through its pages for a thoughtful gift set. Using washi tape, I made this cute jar shape full of sweet flowers.

Tissue Tape Jar Bookmark by Margie Higuchi

Using a piece of white cardstock, I covered it with Denim Tissue Tape. Then I placed on top of a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet and trimmed to size. I die-cut my piece using my manual die cutting machine to make sure to cut twice for a clean cut.

Next I embellished the jar with lace ribbon by adhering it with Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″. Make sure to burnish the back – I used a bone folder. Then place on the front of jar (trim the excess) and wind four times around the jar neck with pink twine.

For the tag, I embossed it and then spritz with a mixture of water and red pigment powder for a little sparkle.

With a combination of Dodz Adhesive Dots Small and 3D Foam Squares White Small, I adhered the flower die cuts in bunches and for a dimensional effect.

For the finishing touch, I thread a piece of lace ribbon, long enough to mark mom’s place in her pages. Here’s a close up and another look at the finished project!

Happy Mother’s Day Gift Tote

Posted on April 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello, it’s AJ here with a Mother’s Day gift tote you can fill with special somethings for your mom!

Mother's Day Gift Tote Tutorial by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Gift Tote

To start, I die cut this adorable tote from kraft cardstock. Even though it has tabs inside to hold the sides (and hide your treats in the middle section) I like it to sit upright, so I use a strip of our E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Refillable along the edge where the sides will fold up for extra hold.

AJOtto-MothersDay-3 I make flowers from cheese cloth and layered my blooms together using Adhesive Dots 3D for added depth. To finish off the front of the flower, I added some gold thread and sequins using Adhesive Dots Small. Tie on a pretty little ribbon and an embossed sentiment and you have a cute little Mothers Day Treat Tote sure to bring a smile to Mom’s face! 🙂

Creative Time: 30 Minutes
Skill Level: Beginner

Smile is the Key Journal

Posted on April 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! It’s Judy here today. I’ve created this Smile is the Key Journal by completely transforming a dollar store journal. I like to dress up inexpensive books to use as gifts.

First, I covered the book with paper using white glue so it wasn’t black. I considered painting it but didn’t want to wait for it to dry! I brushed glue on the cover and placed cheesecloth over it. I used inks to add color and added a subtle stenciled design. A piece of burlap ribbon was stamped with permanent ink and colored with ink. I stitched the key to it before gluing it to the journal with glue.

Can you believe the key was silver? I mixed Brown and Gold pigment powders with white glue and painted it (paint also works here). I love how it turned out! The little tags are pieces of canvas ribbons stamped and glued to cardstock. The string is twine colored with ink.

Lace ribbon has twine stitched through the edges. Each one has been inked as well. Seam binding, colored with inks, is threaded through loops. Tiny beads are stitched to flowers on other lace. Both are fastened to the journal with white glue. It works great as a glue!

I used twine with some beads to dangle from the spine. I added beads to seam binding for a book mark. Both were wrapped with a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ and tucked between spine and pages.

For inside the book covers, I stamped and inked 2 pieces of text weight cream paper. These were fastened with E-Z Dots® Permanent. The verse was stamped on card stock and fastened to inside front cover. I added a tiny 3D Foam Heart covered with brown and gold pigment powder.

Quite a transformation! I hope you’ve enjoyed this journal! Thanks for visiting!

Happy creating!
Judy

You Are Amazing Card

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hey everyone! It’s Lisa with you to share a pretty card that I made using a Stampendous butterfly stamp and coordinating die along with some lovely graphic papers, colored pencils, and our amazing adhesives, of course. This card comes together really fast after the coloring is done.

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-1

I stamped the butterflies 3 times using an archival ink and colored them in using high-quality colored pencils that allow for blending. The butterflies were die-cut with their matching die.

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-2

To add interest and shimmer mix a small amount of Pigment Powder in Wine and paint it to the centers of the butterflies and blend it out.

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-3

Cut 2 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small in half and place one half on the back on each butterfly. Set aside for later.

Die cut patterned paper with off set square shape. Stamp and heat emboss sentiment on a smaller piece of cardstock that will fit behind “window” created by wonky square. Adhere the sentiment square to the patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable to create a strong bond. Use this same adhesive to attach to panel of dark grey cardstock which is cut slightly larger than patterned paper. Place strips of Crafty Foam Tape- Black on back of this panel.

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-4

Cut a piece of patterned paper the exact same size as card front and adhere using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable. Wrap doubled-up piece of Twine in pink around the panel with the sentiment and tie in bow. (I usually place a Adhesive Dots Mini under the bow to keep it in place.) Remove liners and place almost to edge of card front. Remove liners from backs of butterflies and place where pleasing to the eye.

Here are a few close-ups and alternative angles:

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-5

In this next on you can really see how the panel is 3 dimensional and how the butterflies just “fly” off the card.

LisaAdametz-YouAreAmazing-04272016-6

I hope you enjoyed the card today and got inspired to make a card like this for yourself!

Feel Beautiful Card

Posted on April 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. Are you as busy as I am these days? There just never seems to be enough time in the day or days in a week for me!

I have a card to share. I like to create generic cards, that can just sit on the recipients desk should they choose. In this case, don’t we all need reminders that we are beautiful 🙂

2016 04 22_3238 copy

I love the DODZ™ Mini to adhere sequins. Such an clean and easy way to do so.

2016 04 22_3237

I then mounted the die cut shoes with the 3D Foam Squares White Small. I just cut one in half to make it small enough to tuck on the back of the shoes.

2016 04 22_3236

Of course all of the main pieces are adhered using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser

Best Day Ever Card by Michele Kovack 500

I am so happy to be participating in this week’s blog hop with Stampendous! The Cling Rose Bouquet Stamp Set with its coordinating Rose Bouquet Die Cut Set are just stunning with its detailed designs. I stamped the flowers with Versamark ink, covered white embossing powder and used a heating tool to set. To color the images, I used the ZIG Clean Brush Markers to bring them to life. With lots of Crafty Foam Tape White, I layered the flowers to embellish my shaker card and used Adhesive Dots Mini to adhere those small sequins as accents around the card. Perfect for Mother’s Day!

Beautiful You Hydrangea Garden Card by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here! I was so excited to see what I received from Stampendous® for this hop. I LOVE flowers of any kind but especially white tulips, lilacs, roses and hydranges, thus I couldn’t wait to ink up the Cling Jumbo Hydrangea Garden stamp (which I can see myself using to create some dish towels, placemats…. and various other home decor items in the future!). Once stamped it was easy to line up the Hydrangea Garden Die for the perfect cut out. I subtly colored it (I am no colorer… I am a paper piecer by nature ) with some copic markers. The leaves were stamped on some ombre pattern paper then die cut. I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to attach the leaves to the flower. The image was mounted to my card base using 3D Foam Squares White Regular. A super easy project but such a stunning stamp and die set I wanted it to be the main stage of my project!
