Can’t Thank You Enough! Card Tutorial

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a thank you card, predominantly black and white with a shot of colour.

CEmberson - Thank You Enough 1

I created my card base from white card, selected patterned paper and affixed with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

I die cut a curved rectangle and to add dimension attached Crafty Foam Tape to the reverse. CEmberson - Thank You Enough 3

For the die cut flower, a 3D Foam Squares White Small fits perfectly on the back and will hold it in place securely.

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card and positioned in place with Crafty Power Tape.

You Make me Happier Card

Posted on February 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello! Happy Presidents day! AJ here from the marvels of blog scheduling because I am most certain I am sleeping in today sine the kids are home from school! 😉

AJOtto-FrenchFry-1

I just recently got some adorable new stamps and thought I would break them in for todays post.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-2

I started by stamping and coloring my main panel in, (still trying to perfect my watercolor technique) and I adhered a strip of the Premium Double-Sided Tape on the bottom and trimmed the excess off the edge. Remove the backing and cover with glitter.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-3 My watercolor paper always warps a bit, so I end up placing a piece of cereal box or something similar to the backside of the panel. For this I use the Extreme Double-Sided Tape to make sure it lays flat to my card board piece.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-4

I also pop it up, so a few pieces of Crafty Foam Tape to use to adhere it to my card base are also in order.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-6

And I just love how the little strip of happy glittery-ness looks with out taking too much away from the main image. Is that bird not the cutest?!

AJOtto-FrenchFry-5

And my finished card for the giving! 🙂 enjoy!! –AJ

Love Always Card

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi there! It’s Lisa back on the blog and I have a super sweet little Valentine’s Day card to share with you today.

LisaAdametz-LoveAlways-02112016-1

I really wanted to use some non-traditional type colors for my card (since that’s how I roll) so I went with black, grey, white and just a pop of wine…because y’know…who doesn’t like wine? 😉

This was a VERY easy card to create. (I love when that happens, don’t you?) The die cut hearts were colored with wine colored Pigment Powder.

LisaAdametz-LoveAlways-02112016-3

The rose die cut was adhered using the Art Medium. This is wonderful for die cuts, paper pieces, and small do-dads (such as the hearts). It gives a strong bond and you can brush it on with a paintbrush, which I like.

LisaAdametz-LoveAlways-02112016-4

All of my other paper pieces were adhered using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips and my interior vellum piece was adhered using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. The bow, as usual, is adhered in place with a Adhesive Dots Small.

LisaAdametz-LoveAlways-02112016-2

I hope you liked the card today!! The pigment powders are so beautiful I love to find new ways to use them.

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.

Follow Your Heart Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

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

follow your heart3

follow your heart4

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.

follow your heart tut2

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.
