Gingerbread House Shaped Card Tutorial

Posted on December 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Hello everyone! Today I am very excited to share with you a shaped card that I’ve wanting to do for several weeks…needed the time to just sit down and do it. All these pieces were put together with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products 🙂 What do you think?!

Let’s start with the card base. I die cut two of the Gingerbread House Border die (the silhouette of the house) with Kraft cardstock. One of the die cuts, I nested the Border die and the House die together on top and embossed only. Now it becomes the front of the card and it will embed another die cut.

Scored part of the roof and chimney (about 1/2″ from top) of plain die cut. This will become the back of the card.

Cut and emboss the House die with white cardstock using my manual die cutting machine and taking out the die cut with my Tool ‘n One.

You will end up with these three house die cuts…

Apply Dual Tip Glue in the scored area and then marry the two die cuts until they become one shape.

Put the white house die cut back into the House die template and use as a stencil. Color through the die with Gelatos®. Then cover with Glass Bead Glitter Gel for sparkle and dimension. Repeat the same process with the candy dies.

After drying (don’t forget to clean your die!), I applied Dual Tip Glue on the back and fitted into the embossed design which creates an embedded look – I love this technique! Then add the candy die cuts using a combination of Dual Tip Glue and 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small.

The front door needed something – it has an embossed bow design but I wanted something BOLD so I took the Star from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes set and colored it with Red Cherry Gelatos®. After it dried, I covered it with Glass Bead Glitter Gel. Let dry.

Here’s another look…

Let’s Cuddle Card

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

It’s super easy to cut all the pieces of paper in advance, die-cut the mittens, and add the Liquid Applique’ to the bottom of the mittens. You can even add the 3D Foam Squares, Black, Small to the back of the mittens prior to getting everything together.

It’s also a good idea to pre-prep your twine by dipping it into Gel Medium and twisting into shape and laying it out to dry. This step is NOT necessary, but it is fun.

Once you’re in true mass production mode you’ll need 1) E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser (and a refill) and 2) Adhesive Dots Medium 3) Premium Double-Sided Tape ½” – Permanent.

An embossing ink was used to stamp the sentiment onto the vellum strip and it was heat set with an embossing glitter.

A fun and easy card to make for anyone that might need a little cuddle. 🙂

Happy Holidays Card

Posted on December 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a Happy Holidays card for you!

This card uses the negative space as a backdrop to create interest. The 3 snowflakes were die cut out and I water colored around it in various shades of blue. The panel was adhered to an additional white piece of card stock using the E-Z Squares® Refillable. I added the smaller snowflakes to the centers of the larger snowflakes using Adhesive Dots Small.

I added gems to the centers of the snowflakes using Adhesive Dots Small as well. The sentiment sticker was added.

I used Crafty Foam Tape to attach the panel to glittery silver card stock. As a final touch, I tied silk ribbon and jingle bells vertically. The bow was secured with Adhesive Dots Small, so it didn’t flop all over. 😉

Thanks so much for popping by!

Supplies: Adhesive Dots Small, E-Z Squares® Refillable, Crafty Foam Tape White, card stock, ribbon, gems, jingle bells, water colors, sentiment sticker

3D Foam Shapes Holiday Pillow Box Tutorial

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Greetings and Happy December! Today I’d like to share a gift wrapping idea using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® 3D Foam Shapes! Using a couple of techniques, I embellished the shapes to decorate this cute pillow box…

Let me share how I created this box…after die cutting my pillow box shape out of this cute striped patterned paper, I assembled it with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips tape runner and the box is done!

Now to the fun! I place my Gingerbread Man from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes on a craft sheet and color it with Iced Chai Gelatos® stick. I speed the drying process by using a heating tool. YES, did you know you can?! Its high density foam allows it to be heat embossed!

I left the liner on his mouth as I wanted to keep that white 🙂 The berries were colored with Iced Currant Gelatos® stick and will be used as buttons. So cute!!

Next I wanted to give the Gingerbread Man a little sparkle so I covered him with Glass Bead Glitter Gel (I took off the liner beforehand). It goes on white but will dry clear and he held up through the whole process – still smiling. Set aside to dry.

For the tree, I wanted to add dimension so felt and 3D Foam Creative Sheets was a perfect combination for what I wanted to accomplish. I trim both enough for the die to fit. After removing the liner, the felt was placed on top and then the tree die. I die cut with my manual die cutting machine – about three or four passes (to get somewhat of a clean cut with felt fibers). Set aside to assemble later.

What’s a winter holiday without a snowflake?! I mixed just a little of the blue pigment powder with the Glass Bead Glitter Gel to create this amazing blue sparkly paste. Using a snowflake from the 3D Foam Snowflakes set, I covered it with the blue paste. Set aside to dry.

Just assemble as shown in the image and add a blue rhinestone in the snowflake center – it’s done! Here’s another look…

Supplies List:
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips, 3D Foam Christmas Shapes, 3D Foam Creative Sheets, 3D Foam Snowflakes
Dies: Spellbinders® Paper Arts (Stylized Trees and Grand Calibur® Machine) and Lawn Fawn (Pillow Box); Patterned Paper: Lawn Fawn (Sweater Weather Collection); Rhinestone: Want2Scrap©; Other: Green Felt
