Happy Thanksgiving Card Tutorial

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a card to celebrate Thanksgiving! I host the holiday each year for my family, but I always send a few cards to my loved ones out of town.

I did a bit of water coloring to the panel and then splattered it with a bit of black water color. The panel was attached to black card stock and then one cream panel that was inked with a bit of purple and orange. I used the E-Z Squares® to adhere the layers.

The leaves were die cut with water color paper and of course… water colored! I gave them a coating of glitter and adhered them using Adhesive Medium. I adhered the sentiment using the Crafty Foam Tape White. For a finishing touch I tied a bit of black twine and added a few sequins using Adhesive Dots Small. I will be starting my Christmas cards next! But for now I will enjoy my family and count my blessings for all that I have. 🙂

Have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones!

You Are Cool Card

Posted on November 23, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with a ‘cool’ winter themed card.

I received some new papers, dies and stamps the other day and couldn’t wait to put them to use. Of course when building the base I put the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips to use as they work so well to hold the panels in place.

To adhere the snowflakes I used some DODZ™ Small to hold them in place and then when I was happy with their position I staple them for an added texture. I mounted the cup on the 3D Foam Squares.

Tip: The MyStik® Repositionable Dots work well for holding dies in place while cutting. I wanted the ‘straw’ cut out of a scrap piece of paper and since it is a long thin die, I didn’t want it to move around so I just use a few of the Dots and it worked like a charm.

Thank you for visiting today.

Mixed Media Christmas Canvas

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a mixed media Christmas canvas I made.

I use this as wall decoration. It’ a simple project (next time I will try it with my kids) and here is my tutorial for you.

1 – Prepare your canvas background with white Gesso and add some Canvas Ribbon. Cut it in a shape of landscape. Use also white Paper to create a dimensional look. Adhere it all with the Crafty Power Tape.

2 – Prepare different fabrics and ribbons for a Christmas tree. I used Denim Ribbons, Lace Ribbons, Texture Ribbons and Canvas Ribbon. Cut it in a way to get from big at the bottom to small upwardly.

3 – Adhere the ribbons one after the other with the Crafty Power Tape.

4 – This is what it looks after adhering the ribbons. I also used some threads from the canvas ribbon to create shrubs.

5 – Add some Christmas elements, like Dots and tree from 3D Foam Christmas Shape and 3D Foam Trees. Use silver or wintry printed foil on your shapes and adhere them here and there. I also added some Die cutting leaves.

6 – Add some snow with white Gesso on your tree and landscape.

7 – Sprinkle with some Glimmer Mist kraft.

8 – Adhere a embellishment with the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.

I hope you will give it a try and have fun.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Merry Christmas Card with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a simple-quick-to-make festive card featuring the brilliant 3D Foam Hearts

To achieve those beautiful shiny foil stars select 3D Foam Hearts and Designer Foils

The hearts are sticky on both sides when removed from the backing paper. Place onto the reverse of the foil, turn over and burnish lightly.

The foil transfers beautifully.

Next I die cut a white square, stamped Merry Christmas and wrapped around twine – affixed on the reverse with Crafty Power Tape,

Matted this onto a die cut red square with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable.

Affixed the 3D Foam Hearts over the twine and a smaller one near the stamped sentiment.

Easy!

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

Products used:

Crafty Power Tape, 3D Foam Hearts, E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable

Spellbinders dies: 6 x 6 Matting Basics.

Gold Leaves Napkin Ring

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone!
It’s Judy here today to show you how to make foiled leaves for a fall table setting. These are quite easy and look so elegant!

Gold Leaves Napkin Ring by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Die cut small and large leaf from the black sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Remove backing from each leaf front. Place Metallic Transfer Foil sheet, gold side up, on each leaf. Rub well to fully stick the foil to leaf. Peel off foil sheet.

Cut piece of thin florist wire for each leaf. Place wire on non-stick craft mat. Cut piece of ⅛ʺ Premium Double-Sided Tape slightly shorter than each leaf from tip to stem end. Place tape along one end of florist wire.

Place large leaf upside down on work surface. Hold along one edge and peel backing past center of leaf. Place florist wire with tape on leaf back. Cut 2 short pieces of florist wire to fit from stem towards outer leaf points. Apply tape along each piece. Place on leaf back. Replace backing over wires and rub along wires to secure.

Remove backing from leaf and backing from tape. Place gold Metallic Transfer Foil on leaf back. Rub well. Peel off foil backing. The leaf is covered with gold on both sides.

Repeat for small leaf using stem wire only, no short wire pieces.

To make the wire stem gold, place leaf right side up on non-stick craft mat. Place piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch on front side of wire stem. Roll tape around wire. Remove tape backing. Wrap gold foil around wire and rub to secure. Repeat as needed to completely cover wire.

The leaf can be shaped by bending wire to give it dimension.

To make the napkin ring, wrap coarse weave canvas ribbon around napkin (about 7ʺ). Secure ends with Extreme Double Sided-Tape 1/2-inch. (Option: simply wrap Texture Ribbon around napkin without securing ends. Twine will hold it in place.) Wrap twine around Texture Ribbon. Add a tiny stamped tag. Tie bow. Shape leaves and tuck them under twine.

How pretty at each place setting for Thanksgiving dinner!
Thank you for visiting! I’m so pleased to be here as a guest designer!
Happy creating!
Judy

Christmas Greetings

Posted on November 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here to share a few Christmas cards from my stash this year!

I am not a fan of mass producing, I like to mix it up a little, but sometimes production line style card making works best- similar layout, colors, embellishments, etc.

To start, create a few card bases, I went with a paler blue, and am adding red and a lighter shade of green here using the E-Z Runner® Grand.I then die cut, and stamped my sentiments and images onto watercolor paper. I washed each die cut with a different shade from my color palette. This piece needed a bit more mmph behind it, so I adhered it with Crafty Foam Tape. This die cut I adhered with a few of the larger sized 3D Foam Squares from the Mixed pack. A few different color washes, and images and it’s not as boring. I think the lighter shades of blue and green is going to be my favorite combo this season!

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Hero Card with 3D Foam Stars

Posted on November 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa with you on this very special day…Veteran’s Day (here in the U.S.) and I’m especially proud to be posting on behalf of the Design Team as I AM a Veteran. Today means a great deal to myself and my family as we all served in the military (the United States Air Force) and swore to protect and serve this beautiful nation that we live in. So, I’m thrilled that I’m able to share a card that I made to celebrate this day.

LisaAdametz-Hero-11112015-1

I used the amazing 3D Foam Stars with Foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit to create the focal stars. It’s so simple to do! I then adhered the stars to an embossed piece of cardstock which I had already trimmed to size.

I stamped the sentiment in an embossing ink and heat set with a silver embossing powder onto a piece of cardstock weight vellum which I wrapped in a banner style around the piece with the foiled stars. This was adhered in place using Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix, White.

LisaAdametz-Hero-11112015-1b

I then created a background using Gelatos® by scribbling them onto my work surface, spritzing with water, and then “smooshing” my paper directly into the wet Gelatos®. I dried the paper in between until I achieved the look I desired. On top of this background I added stars and sprinkled glitter on top to adhere to to adhere to the stars.

All the panels were adhered using plenty of E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

Celebrate Life

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hi there! Michele here with a card to brighten your day! It’s just a fun little card using a cloud stencil, die cuts, and water colors. I have been resurrecting some of my old craft supplies, can you tell? The cloud stencil had about 6 inches of dust as did my dies! 😉

Celebrate Life card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

Between layers of card stock, I used the Crafty Foam Tape in white to give a bit of depth to the card. The sequins were adhered with Adhesive Dots Small.

My sun was adhered to the card front using E-Z Squares®. I added a sticker for the sentiment and voila!

It’s a gentle reminder to celebrate life. Each and every day. 🙂

Supplies: Adhesive Dots Small, Crafty Foam Tape White, E-Z Squares®
