Celebrate Autumn

Posted on October 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Happy weekend to you! Michele here with a fun way to use ribbons on your card! How about creating a wreath using ribbon scraps? I used denim and lace ribbons to create the base for my wreath. With some fun autumn inspired embellishments and a sentiment, you’ve got a card with great texture and interest!

And as is pretty typical of me, I used Crafty Foam Tape to add dimension between my layers to create additional depth. The pumpkins and ribbon bow were adhered using Dodz Medium and Dodz Small.

I used these two ribbons for my wreath and then snipped the ends, denim and lace.

I die cut a circle within a circle to serve as the wreath’s base. It was easy to adhere the ribbon around the circle.

Here is one more peek at the finished product!

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

Christmas Tags

Posted on October 23, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with some fun Christmas tags for you. Do you create your own tags? I love how adding a handmade tag just makes the gift that much more special.

I created some Christmas cards the other day ~~and~~ ~~since the supplies were still all over my desk~~ and thought that I might as well get a start on my tags as well.

I was able to use many of the scraps that I had from creating the cards. Of course layering them onto the cardstock base is so easy with the E-Z Runners and a simple addition of some staples just for interest.

I also love mounting some bits using the 3D Foam Squares for an easy added detail. Not very often I don’t use stitching on my projects but today I left them really clean.

Now as I said, I do love handmade Christmas tags – my only problem is that I tend to keep them rather than give them away. I have a bunch just tucked into a wooden drawer and I use it as part of my Christmas decor. 🙂

Products Used:

E-Z Runner Permanent Strips

3D Foam Squares

DODZ – Small

Other Supplies:

Pattern Paper: My Mind’s Eye

Twine: Divine Twine

Dies: Papertrey Ink

Punches: Marvy

Staples: Tim Holtz

Pop Up Christmas Card with the E-Z Dots Permanent

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a pop up Christmas card I made with the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable and other great adhesives.

It’s such a fun project, here is my tutorial for you.

1 – Prepare a folded card with marks for three pop up boxes in different sizes. I used the following sizes: above: 2,5 cm x 2,5 cm; 3,5 cm x 2,5 cm; 4,5 cm x 2,5 cm. Leave 1 cm between the pop up boxes.

2 – Then cut with scissors by the drawn lines and fold it to pop ups.

3 – Prepare another folded card for the back. You can cut it something bigger to fold it around.

4 – Adhere the back card with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable

5 – Prepare some decoration papers for the pop up boxes and adhere them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

Tipp: If you use transparent paper use the Crafty Power Tape not the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable, otherwise you will see the blue dots through the paper.

6 – Use some ribbons to decorate the boxes. Use the Crafty Power Tape – 81′ to adhere them.

7 – You can also use some bows to give them a lovely touch. Use the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

8 – This is what it looks inside. Now you can also decorate the outside of the card. I used some Die cuttings and a wood embellishment.

This Pop Up card is also great for Birthdays. But now Christmas is coming… 😉

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Festive Fancy Bow

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Festive Fancy Bow card tutorial all made possible with the fantastic products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

First I selected an Adhesive Sheet, the 6″ x 4″ size are brilliant for smaller items. I placed my red cardstock between the layers.

I placed my dies onto the reverse side (non yellow) and die cut.

Once cut I peeled away the backing revealing the adhesive stuck to my die cuts.

Liberally sprinkled with embossing powder.

Tapped off the excess and set with a heat gun.

To assemble my card front I used MyStik® Permanent Strips.

To add dimension I matted the card front onto red cardstock with Crafty Foam Tape White.

The bow is affixed with 3D Foam Squares Small White.

Woodland Forest Fox Canvas Pennant Tutorial

Posted on October 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Today I’m sharing the Congratulations Fox Canvas Pennant part of my Woodland Forest Fox Birthday Ensemble featured in the Spellbinders Whimsical Woodland Blog Fest a couple of weeks ago. The Forest Fox is just too stinkin’ cute!!

Woodland Forest Fox Birthday Canvas Pennant by Margie Higuchi

By nesting the dies together and cut/embossed with different color cardstock, I had color choices to use on my ensemble (open frames, etc.) I used the smallest die cuts as accent pieces for my pennant. To create more interest, I embossed my die cuts with an embossing folder. Note: lightly mist the cardstock with water before embossing for a crisper design.

Using Home and Hobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape – ¼”, I adhered the two die cuts onto a canvas pennant. To give more dimension to the background, I adhered the third die cut with 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular.

For the fox, I cut/embossed/stenciled my pieces with Kraft paper. I assembled and adhered with HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen (think paper piecing). I added black faceted rhinestones for its eyes and nose. Then I adhered the fox piece on top of the layered pennant front.

Next, I cut/embossed “Congratulations” using yellow cardstock and adhered the words with Adhesive Sheet – 4×6″.

Lastly, I adhered two wooden buttons using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D and wrapped twine around each button (and DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D to secure) to create a loop to hold the pennant on the wall.

Here’s another look…

Happy Fall Card with E-Z Dots Repositionable Resist Technique

Posted on October 16, 2015 by Guest Blogger

Hi, it’s Isha here for another Guest Blogger post. I am back with a Happy Fall card and some fun ways to use few of the wonderful adhesives.

As I wrote before, I am really enjoying all the various kinds of adhesives and the various ways to use them! I especially love the new E-Z Runner® Grand, it’s so easy to use and also to refill 🙂 Then there are these Adhesive Sheets, which I used to apply foil and glitter today. Lastly, I found my new favorite “E-Z Dots Repositionable® Refillable runner”, I used this to create a resist for my background.

Happy Fall Card by Isha Gupta for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This is how I made my card: (notice that I used the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refill in the E-Z Runner® Refillable dispenser! Remember to put the top on before using!)

Creating a Resist with E-Z Dots Repositionable

Happy_Fall_Step1

I used a watercolor layer and applied E-Z Dots Repositionable® Refillable adhesive in vertical rows.

Happy_Fall_Step2

I applied watercolors over this adhesive. Let dry. The adhesive act as a resist, which you will see in the photo below.

Happy_Fall_Step3

Rub the adhesive using your finger tip to remove it and expose the white paper below!

Happy_Fall_Step4

Die-cut this layer using the stitched rectangle die. Die-cut an acetate sheet too. Now die-cut a circle in this panel. Use Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ to the back and attach the adhesive.

Happy_Fall_Step5

Die-cut the other shapes. Watercolor and let dry. Take a small piece of Adhesive Sheet and apply a little adhesive onto the pumpkins. Put a small piece of gold foil (Shiny side up) and a little glitter.

Happy_Fall_Step6

Adhere the leaves and the pumpkins using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″. This is really strong adhesive.

Happy_Fall_Step7

Create a shaker card and adhere the card to the card base using E-Z Runner® Grand!

Happy_Fall_cl_up

This is how the shaker card looks in a close-up photo.

Autumnal Birthday – Card Tutorial

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Asia King

Morning Friends! Asia King here and today I am falling in love with autumnal colours…:). I created this richly coloured birthday card with a DIY background and I have a tutorial for you as well. Let’s begin!

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King1

Start by preparing your supplies to create your own background paper. This was the first time I played with my new Brusho crystals. In addition to the powders I also kept a White Linen ink spray and my DIY pigment powder sprays handy.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King4

1. Create a custom background by sprinkling Brusho crystals onto watercolour paper and misting it with water. Build layers with an addition of white ink spray and the DIY pigment powder sprays made with pigment powders in Gold and Brown.

2. Stencil a few hibiscus flowers using distress inks.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King5

3. Create card base from yellow cardstock and trim the background 1/16th inch smaller than the base on each side. Distress the edges.

During this step I decided to take a different route to what I originally planned. At first I stamped my image onto the background paper in black but it just didn’t fit the autumnal look I was going for. So I cut the stamped image out and adhered only the ‘frame’ to my card base using HomeHobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

4. Next, stamp your image with brown ink within the aperture. The cardstock I used had a textured surface so my stamped image has a textured, printed look, too. You can fill in the areas with more ink if you wish.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King6

5. Add some gems along the aperture and adhere using Dual Tip Glue Pen.

6. Add flowers and ribbon (use the finished project photo as a guide) and adhere the elements using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D,

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King7

7. Cover some 3D Foam Leaves with Pigment Powders in Gold and Brown. Paint the edges of the foam with a gold pen and add the leaves to the flower cluster.

8. Cut a few small leaves from scrap paper and shape them in your hands. Punch a few pine branches from terracotta cardstock. Add the leaves to the card using DODZ Adhesive Dots Small.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King2

To finish, spray the flowers and the rest of the card with a gold mica spray for additional sparkle.

Creative Time: 60 Minutes
Skill Level: Advanced
