Pocket of Love Canvas

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! It’s the beginning of February and to me that brings thoughts of Valentine’s Day and all things love! So I made a Pocket of Love canvas filled with tags ready to add notes of love, encouragement and appreciation for someone special. I think this would be fun to use all year, especially for a young girl.

To create the Pocket of Love canvas, I used the back side of canvas. I cut ragged strips (about 4ʺ) of cheesecloth. I brushed the Art Medium onto the canvas edges and pressed the cheesecloth into it. I added a rectangle of cheesecloth in the canvas center that laps over the edges. All pieces were scrunched into the Art Medium to form wrinkles and folds. Inks were lightly rubbed over it when dry.

I added a denim pocket from scrap material. The edge is folded over and secured with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. A piece of pink twine was woven through a piece of Lace Ribbons. It’s fastened to pocket edge with Art Medium which worked fantastic to bond the lace to denim! A button with twine bow is fastened with a Adhesive Dots 3D. A couple little stickers are tucked under the pocket flap.

The pink metallic die cut “love” was placed on Adhesive Sheets to make it a sticker to add to the pocket. The pocket is fastened to the canvas with Crafty Foam Tape Black and Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. I used both to get dimension with the Crafty Foam Tape and better adhesion for the fabric with Extreme Double-Sided Tape. I applied the Extreme Double-Sided Tape to both sides of strips of the Crafty Foam Tape to fasten the pocket to the canvas.

The die cut tags are decorated with washi tape, twine, lace and other ribbons, plus papers, stickers and die cut “Love”.

All that’s left is to add some personal words of LOVE!
I hope you’ve learned a new technique that you can apply to your creative projects! Make your own Pocket of Love for someone special!
Happy Creating!
Judy Hayes

You Have my Heart card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on January 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello! With Valentines day quickly approaching I figured I better get all the hearts and pink used while I can. 😉

I’m quite happy with how this turned out, and luckily, can hand deliver since it’s popped up just a bit.

To get started, you will need your die of choice, card stock, glitter, and Adhesive Sheets, this one is 6 X 12″ in size.

Pull back the yellow lining and place your card stock down, pressing into the adhesive. Here, I have laid my die on the backside, because I want the front of it to be sticky. Depending on which side you need/want to be sticky is where you can place the die. Run your die through your machine.
Pull the backing away, a little at a time, (this is so I have something to hold on to while adding glitter) and sprinkle glitter over the top.

I then die cut two more from foam so I could have some dimension.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment on to my grey card stock, then adhered it to my card front using Crafty Foam Tape. I added a layer of vellum to the card using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine (which is awesome for Vellum), and I then adhered my hearts all to each other and the card using Dodz™.

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

You Are Strong Mixed Media Canvas

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa back with another mixed media piece today and I had such a good time creating this one…it just flowed. I LOVE when that happens. Here’s what I created:

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-1

Fun, isn’t it? And (as usual for me) it’s not that hard to create. The finished piece is a 5″ x 7″ flat panel canvas. So it’s perfect for gift giving.

Start by using Art Medium to adhere pieces of torn tissue paper randomly to the canvas. Make sure that the pieces are dry before moving on.

Once the medium is dry then you may begin adding the acrylic paints of your choice. This part is entirely subjective. What I find appealing YOU may not. 😉 I used a teal, lime, and orange.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-3

Then I added some Gauze and stuck in place with more Art Medium. Once dry, I applied more paint on top of the gauze and on the canvas. I used a spatula adding the paint this time to create more depth and deeper color.

(In the photo below the medium is not dry so it still appears white, once it dries it is transparent and blends in.)

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-4

I had some die-cut butterflies.

Then add a small square from the 3D Foam Squares – Black, Mix to the back of each butterfly and slightly curve the wings to make them look more dimensional.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-5

(The shimmer of the Silver Pigment Powder really shows in this photo!)

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-6

Lastly stamp a selected sentiment. Using an archival ink is preferable.

LisaAdametz-MixedMiediaStrong-01272016-7

I added a touch of a white pigment pen around the sentiment to help highlight it. Using your finger with this type of pen is super easy. A watered down white acrylic paint (or Gesso) is an alternative if you don’t have this type of pen.

And here’s a little close-up of the where the gauze is so you can see all the texture it has:

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial today and how to use some of the new products that will be coming soon.

Lava Lamp!

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

I used E-Z squares® to adhere the polka dot paper and the center piece as well. I added glittery hearts in shades of pink as well as a random gold sticker from my stash.

I used Dodz™-small to attach the hearts, clear dots, and the ribbon. I love that they are so easy to use!

Planner Pages

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with my planner pages for next week. I love planners, have for as long as I can remember. I can’t believe I never thought of making them pretty before! What a great way to combine 2 passions of mine… my planner and my crafting!

When I do my projects I like to include as many supplies as I can – stamps, papers, die cuts…. must get my money’s worth out of them 😉 Decorating a planner is the perfect way to use up some scraps. To mount my stamped image I used the 3D Foam Squares as I always love a bit of dimension in my projects.

The E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips works well for adhering the little bits and pieces.

Are you a planner addict? How do you use yours?

“Be Happy” Mixed Media Card with Pigment Powder

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

Today I want to show you again a mixed media card “Be Happy” with awesome Pigment Powders.

Be Happy card by Stephanie Schutze for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here is how I created this card.

1. I used a watercolor paper and the high pigment powder in Blue, Gold and Silver colors.

I used the Pigment Powders dissolved in water and rubbed with a brush.
These are the three different colors on my background. I cut out the background into stripes and adhered it onto my card with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

2. I created a little flower by using canvas ribbons, lace ribbons, die cut flowers, and a piece of organza and burlap ribbons. I used the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere it together.

3. From threads of canvas ribbons and twine I created this little loop.

4. I used the Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere it onto my card.

5. I used the Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere the flower onto my card.

6. I made some little branches by using a paper punch and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

7. The heart is also a die cut and I used a 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere it.

8. Also this little butterfly is painted by using the gold pigment powder and adhered with a 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

9. For the finishing touches I used die cut alpha letters.

I wish you a nice creative day and want to show you also my projects I made for the CHA 2016 by using different products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® .

Winter Card

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a simple Winter card, ideal for a friend who has their birthday at this time of year or could be used as a thank you card.

I gathered the items I needed, a white card base with rounded corners, snowflake and flower die cuts, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

I layered and attached the die cut snowflakes using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. One of the snowflakes is cut from cork which adds another dimension to the card.

To assemble and affix the flower I used 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and these also worked to attach the sparkly button. It was nice to use a mix of both snowflakes and flowers.

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

How to Alter a Tin With Washi Tape

Posted on January 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

I am SO excited to share with you one of my CHA Mega Show projects!

Girlie Grunge Tissue Tape Tin by Margie Higuchi

To give the surface “tooth” to grab on to, I sanded the entire tin with fine grade sand paper which you can get at your local hardware store.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step1

Next I painted two coats of Gesso (dry time between coats) and then painted white acrylic paint. When the paint dried, I went to town! First I covered the base with washi tape in wood colors. Using strips of the tape, I covered about two layers for a wonderful natural color. Repeat the same process with the lid, using washi tape in oak.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step2

For the embellishment, I looped white fabric covered wire twice and colored with brown Pigment Powder Brown and water as the base. Then added gold Pigment Powder and water into a mister to spray the ring as an accent. Place on the lid with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. With two feather and “YOU” die cuts, I used different sizes of 3D Foam Squares White, Mix pack for dimension.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step5

As the finishing touch, I tied natural colored Twine to the feather’s stem and it’s ready to be given away…

This tin is part of a three-piece ensemble…

Today Is A Good Day – Art Tag With Pigment Powders

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. This is my first post here in 2016 so let me say ‘Happy New Year!’ (it’s still January so I think I’m allowed lol). Today I have an art tag for you with a beautiful shimmery background I made using gorgeous pigment powders.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King1

I started my background by covering a manila tag with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. I peeled the protective sheet off in stages, tearing sections off one at a time and covering them with different colours of Pigment Powders. From the bottom up I used Silver, Brown, Wine, Gold, Pink, Gold again, Brown and Silver.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King3

Next I stamped the script with Chiffon ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The Pigment Powders reacted with the ink and heat embossing in different ways creating cool colour variations. Next, I added a few pieces of Ash Washi Tape and added some black rub-ons.

I tucked my flower bouquet in a little canvas bag embellishment but if you don’t have one it would be really easy to make your own using Canvas Ribbons. To secure my flower basket I used layers of DODZ 3D. I then added a seam binding ribbon hand dyed with my DIY Pigment Powder shimmer mists.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King2

I also added a small Lace Ribbon trim under the basket adhered with the Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. The smaller rose and berries at the top were secured with DODZ Small. I finished the tag with Liquid Pearls accents and with a quote sticker popped over small Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix Black.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King4

Supplies:

Adhesive Sheets 4×6″, DODZ Small, DODZ 3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix Black

Other supplies:

Stampendous: Cling Vintage Letter stamp, Clear Detail Embossing Powder
Clearsnap MIX’D MEDIA INX – Chiffon
Liquid Pearls, flowers, ornamental berries, manila tag, seam binding ribbon

I hope you like my first project of the year! Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments!

Big crafty hugs
