Embellished Mixed Media Canvas

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

Hello everyone! Latisha here with you today. Right now Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L finished up having a booth and teaching a class at the Craft & Hobby Association trade show. This show is where the craft industry reveals new product lines for the upcoming year. The 3L design team provides stunning artwork for the booth, and today I am sharing one of the projects that I created for this years show.

I painted, embellished a 9×11 inch canvas. I call it mixed media-clean-latisha-style lol. I love mixed media, but I also love clean lines and design and seem to over edit. Maybe I need to learn to just let go and add more layers? Anyhow, I do not have a photo tutorial for you, but I will walk you through the steps on how I created the canvas below.

Decide on a photo to use, then select acrylic paints that compliment the photo.
I used, yellow, aqua and black for my acrylic paints.
To get the mixture of colors, I added in the yellow paint right before the aqua paint was dry, to get some green.
Once dry (you can use a heat gun to speed up the process) adhere the photo using Home and Hobby Extreme Double Sided Tape. This is a strong permanent adhesive that will keep the photo in place.
Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable, apply strips of adhesive at the bottom of the canvas.
Sprinkle green and aqua glitter over the adhesive.
This gives the canvas another layer of texture, it looks cool, plus its glitter…super score for me.
Adhere strips of pattern paper using the Double Sided tape again.
Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable, adhere the xoxo diecuts to the canvas.
Apply sequins to the canvas using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small.
Create a title using stickers.

CHA Mini Canvas

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa “reporting” live from #CHA2016 and sharing one of my mini canvases that I brought to the show with me. I love doing projects like these because you can really get a full use of the adhesive line in a full spectrum of ways that you may (or may not) have thought of before. I hope to spark your inspiration today.

(Why is glitter so hard to photograph? Someone, please tell me. 😉 )

This cute little mixed media piece was created using so many goodies. I colored the gauze with pigment powder (silver) by adding a tiny mixture of water and the pigment.

To make the cloud, I die-cut the shape using 3D Foam Creative Sheets, Mix- Black & White and then coated it completely with the most gorgeous glitter from Fun Stamper’s Journey. It’s super fine and does NOT come off after being burnished in. To make the cloud look more “puffy”, I tucked some Dodz underneath to give it that cloud-like appearance.

The blue background was created with Gelatos® in a few blue shades and a bit of water. Adding shimmer with the pigment powder in blue. Additional interest was then achieved by adding the starssheets. After they were applied, they were dusted with the pigment powder in gold.

I scraped some Glass Bead Bead Glitter Gel onto the surface in a few areas to add some additional texture and shimmer. And I also used scraps of 4″ x 6″ Adhesive Sheets with remnants of silver foil to add high shine.

Here is a close-up:

And saving the best for last is a photo of myself, our Media Director, Beth Pingry, and my fellow Teamie, Margie Fujii Higuchi, at the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® booth! 🙂

Love is Sweet!

Posted on January 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Hey there! Michele here with a lovey dovey card for you! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Nothing gets me more excited than working on Valentine’s Day projects. This means I can use lace, ribbon, unlimited glitter, and my favorite color…..pink! For the focal point I used a large adhesive heart. I placed it on white card stock and then peeled the top off to sprinkle pink glitter. I cut the heart into 1/4 inch strips for visual interest. It was adhered to a water colored panel, and then I added a smaller adhesive heart and sprinkled it with a lighter pink glitter.

Each layer of the card was attached to the next layer using Craft Foam Tape in White. I added a water colored flower, twine, and a sticker sentiment. All of the pieces were adhered using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.

For the top and bottom of the focal point I decided to add a bit of lace ribbon. It added just the right touch! I love this sweet ribbon! And last but not least I added a scattering of sequins.

Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Supplies: Crafty Foam Tape in white, Dodz Adhesive Dots Small, water colors, sequins, sticker,

Valentine’s Day Card of a Different Kind

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a Valentine Card of a different kind I made.

Here is how I created this special card.

1. I used a watercolor paper and the pigment powder in Blue, Brown, Gold.

I used the Pigment Powders dissolved in water and rubbed with a brush. I also used Gesso between.

2. These are the three different colors on my background.

3. I cut out a long version of a card and a background a bit bigger than the layer.

4. I adhered these two pieces with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

5. For the next step I put together an idea and gathered all the needed material. I wanted to create a scene with a photo and a ladder, and a heart which can be reached. The ladder is hand made out of wire.

6.I used a photo of my daughter and cut off the background of it. The silhouette is then adhered with 3D Foam Squares White Mix over the ladder so that the ladder does not need to be glued.

7. The heart was cut out of a 3D Foam Creative Sheetss using the a heart die and then covered with silver foil.

8. My title I printed with a inkjet printer and glued it on a carton with the E-Z Dots Permanent after cutting it to the correct size.

9. For the finishing touches I used a black pen to draw some grass, a frame and two birds.

It was a fun project and I enjoyed every minute on it.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Frozen Birthday Wishes

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. I don’t know about you but we are having a fabulous winter here and it has me inspired to create many winter themed projects. Today I have a card to share.

I am building up my birthday card stash for kids as I give the students in my class a hand made card and pencil on their birthday. I have a few boys having birthdays this month so I decided a winter card would be perfect.

2016-01-04_1217_edited-1-395x500

I knew the 3D Foam Snowflakes would work well for this, such an easy way to add some interest. I chose 2 snowflakes and removed them from the package and placed them down sticky side up. I then sprinkled with glitter and finally, removed the backing and adhered to the card. I fussy cut the little penguin and then mounted him with some 3D Foam Squares.

To adhere all of the main pieces I used the E-Z Runner® Grand. It is a simple card, but it is for a 7 year old boy, and who knows if it will even make it home 🙂

Products used:

E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips (150′)
3D Foam Squares White Small
3D Foam Snowflakes

Other products:

Pattern Paper: Pebbles
Die: Papertrey Ink
Glitter: Martha Stewart

Baby it’s Cold Outside Card Using 3D Foam Snowflakes

Posted on January 4, 2016 by AJ Otto

Happy New Year! It’s been snowing here in the Pacific Northwest, something we not see all that often, and I thought this card was appropriate to share today! 🙂

The focal image of my card is the snowflake from the 3D Foam Snowflakes pack. There’s varying styles of snowflakes in it to choose from.

Start with your stamping on the die cut panel, then adhere your snowflake. I then removed the backing and covered with flaked glitter. To finish off the card, I adhered to panel to the card with Crafty Foam Tape, my go-to for adding a layer with dimension. A few snow colored sequins, and it’s ready to head out to the mail box!

enjoy!

2016 Momentos Envelope

Posted on January 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a crafty envelope idea to keep special momentos for the forthcoming year. This could be a handy place to keep souvenir tickets, notes, photos, memories and more.

I gathered the essential items, a tie kraft envelope, E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable, 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and Crafty Foam Tape and Crafty Power Tape.

I die cut a label shape frame and placed patterned paper behind affixed with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable. I then attached Crafty Foam Tape to the reverse.

This was placed onto the front of the kraft envelope. To add further dimension I used 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular for my flower.

To decorate I added further assorted die cuts and my printed label.

I am going to keep this to hand and then I will remember to pop special things inside!

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

Celebrate Shaped Card and Adhesive Sheets Tutorial

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Hello~! With the new year approaching, I thought I’d share a sparkly and glittery new year card with you. I created a shaped card mainly put together with Adhesive Sheets – 6 x 12″ and touches of GOLD to welcome 2016 in style!

To be mail-friendly, I made it into one dimension – meaning that I did not add any of my favorite 3D Foam Squares to “pop up” the layers. It is a simple yet elegant card using the beautiful design of the die set and the stunning metallic foil and glitter cardstock, along with clear rhinestones.

To create the shaped card base, I cut and embossed two of the border dies (Flourish Frame Die) with white glitter cardstock. Score ½” on the short side of one die cut.

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼” Permanent on the scored area, take liner off and match with the other die cut to form one shape. This is your card base. Set aside.

Nest the border die and the insert die (Decorative Frame Insert Die) together and secured with washi tape on top of metallic gold foil cardstock. Cut/emboss through the manual die cutting machine. Repeat with the other dies (Frame Insert and Large Tag Dies) in the set, using a combination of white cardstock and the gold foil cardstock.

To cover the entire intricate die cut, I used the Adhesive Sheets – 6 x 12″. Gently burnish the back with a bone folder and remove from liner. Place on top of the shaped card base for perfect placement. Apply Adhesive Sheets on the other die cuts with the same sheet.

Using the same Adhesive Sheets – 6 x 12″, place a piece of black glitter cardstock (enough to fit the Celebrate Die). Cut/emboss with the manual die cutting machine. It will not leave any residue on the plates or the machine. LOVE!! Place across the card panel.

For the finishing touch, add clear rhinestones to the card panel and it’s ready to be given…

Wishing you a wonderful & creative 2016! Celebrate the new year with some inspiration by clicking New Year Projects and check it out!

Happy New Year!

Glitter Ice Skates Ornament Tutorial With Adhesive Sheets

Posted on December 28, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here :). Did you all have a nice Christmas? Christmas may be over but winter is still here and what a better way to make the most of it than go ice skating! Sadly, there’s no snow around where I live so DIY ornaments with stamped Ice Skates will have to do for now :). I prepared a short ‘pin-torial’ for you for this fun and easy project.

Glitter Ice skates_Asia King 1

You will need:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: Adhesive Sheets 4×6″

Other supplies: Ice Skates and Snowflake Sky rubber stamps , Crystal Micro Glitter (Stampendous); DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint – Everlasting; Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy ink; water brush; wooden flat coasters; baker’s twine

Glitter Ice skates_Asia King 2

Here are the steps explained:

Paint your wooden coasters both sides with white chalky finish paint and allow to dry. Chalky finish paint will take the adhesive better that ordinary acrylic or poster paint.
Cover the coasters with adhesive using Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to burnish over the protective sheet to make sure the adhesive transfers fully.
Sprinkle the glitter over the adhesive, press to cover fully and shake off the excess. No need to wait for the adhesive to dry! 🙂
Stamp the ice skates and snowflake images directly onto the glittered surfaces and heat set with a heat tool.
Pick up some ink from a craft mat with a water brush and add some shading to the ice skates. Swipe the ink pad around the edges to add a finishing touch. Allow the ink to dry.

Glitter Ice skates_Asia King 3

And that’s it – you’ve got yourself a nice glittery set of ice skate ornaments. I’m going to use mine as tree ornaments so after drilling a small whole I added a twine for hanging. But you can use yours as mulled wine coasters after a chilly day of ice skating! If you do, be sure to cover them with a proper varnish for a waterproof finish.

This is my last post this year so I’d like to wish you all a wonderful New Year 2016, full of accomplished dreams and crafty goodness!

Big hugs
