Embossed Striped Hello Card

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Happy Monday everyone! It’s Lisa here with you and I have an elegant, but fun “Hello” card to share using some of the newer adhesives in some interesting ways.

LisaAdametz-GoldHello-08312015-1

I made a little tutorial to show how easy this was to put together. I hope it helps. I’m a visual learner, so I know how seeing how things are made helps me, too.

Start with a black A2 card base, folded on the horizontal edge. (An A2 card is 4¼” x 5½”.) Then cut a Kraft card front ¼” smaller than your card base — this is the piece that we’ll be working with.

  1. Start by turning your card front on the diagonal and marking off 1″ increments with a T-Ruler. We’ll be using the Premium Double Sided Tape 1″ to create stripes.
  2. At every other inch mark, and still using the ruler as a guide, lay down strips of tape. If you’re using a non-stick surface it’s okay if the strips are a little long as you can trim them once complete.
  3. Once all the tape is down and straight, burnish it down, lift it up and trim off the excess. Carefully remove the liner pieces at this time. (Since I embossed my tape I used an anti-static pouch prior to removing the tape.)
  4. Shake embossing powder over each exposed tape strip and heat emboss.  I found that it’s easiest to do this one strip at a time.LisaAdametz-GoldHello-08312015-2
  5. You can see how shiny the black embossing powder gets!
  6. Next I cut a strip of patterned vellum 5″ wide x 3⅛”. And to this I added a strip of the Extreme-Double Sided Tape ¼” – Permanent at the top and bottom of the back of the vellum. *TIP – when this is applied if you leave enough of an “edge” you can use it to adhere to TWO surfaces. I applied it to the vellum AND used the other “edge” for my black strip of paper in the next step.
  7. Adhere the vellum to the card front.  Cut two ¼” black strips of paper to cover the adhesive.LisaAdametz-GoldHello-08312015-3
  8. Wrap twine around the card front and secure with a Dodz™ Small.
  9. Secure card front to card base with 3D Foam Squares, Black Regular.
  10. Add embellishments and your card is FINISHED!!

Hope you all enjoyed the card and have a wonderful week!

Thank You Pencil Wrap

Posted on August 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello!  Just 4 more days here and then they start to head back to school!  We haven’t yet started here in Pacific Northwest, so I have just a few more days of summer left! I thought I would make a cute little pencil wrap for daughters new teachers to start the year off.  New school, all new teachers, and one nervous little 6th grader.

Thank You Pencil Wrap and Tag on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog
AJOtto-TYPencils-2Remember this post where I covered cardstock with glitter to make my own glittered card stock sheets?  I still have quite a bit left of it and cut a strip off to use here.  It’s handy to keep a sheet around once it’s pre-made.  To adhere a few strips to my blue card stock wrap, I used my HomeHobby by 3L® E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips.

AJOtto-TYPencils-3Next, I used the Home & Hobby by 3L® Extreme Double-Sided Tape to secure the ends, slowly rolling around the pencils, adding a few more strips on the other end as well.

Thank You Pencil Wrap and Tag on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L BlogTo hold the apple in place, just place a 3D Foam Square or two on the back.

Do you have any special treats or gifts to bring your teachers first day of school?

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Holding on to Summer!

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a final ditch effort to savor summer! I have headed back to school, but am not ready for all things fall quite yet! I created an island drink that would be perfect next to a beach or pool side! I used E-Z Squares® to adhere the bottom layer.  The “drink” portion was adhered with Crafty Foam Tape-white to give it a bit of depth.

I used Dodz™-medium to attach my flower, leaves, ribbon, and sentiment.  I love my Dodz™-Medium!  They are so much easier than using messy glue! I added a bit of sparkle and shine and my card was complete!island drink close

 

Soon September will be here and it will undeniably be fall…..but until then I will enjoy these last fleeting moments of summer! 🙂

Have a great day!

Posted on August 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today to show you a card I made with Die cutting Circles and Butterflies and the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

Stephanie_popupcard_1

It looks like a Minibook at the outside, but if you open it, then you will be a little bit surprised. 😉

For that Card I used only my favorite adhesives, the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

Stephanie_popupcard_2

Stephanie_popupcard_3

For the inside I used three circles, two in a bigger size and one in a smaller size. I folded them in the middle and adhered they like pages together. On that smaller circle I added two butterflies.

TIP: Adhere the butterfly above only in the middle to create a 3D effect.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Happy Day Tag with Stripes

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hello, it’s Beth today, with another tag project. This one is quick and easy, I hope you’ll give it a try.

Happy Day Tag with Pigment Powder by Beth Pingry

First I have to thank AJ Otto – I was inspired by her Thanks So Much card.

I used Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ on a manila tag. I marked 1″ in pencil then set the tape diagonally across the tag. Be sure to go light on the pencil and erase before removing the liner.

BethPingry-HappyDayTag2

Next I removed one liner at a time, and added Pigment Powder across the adhesive with my finger. Note that you can use glitter, embossing powder, flock with the adhesives!

For the rest of the card I trimmed cardstock and patterned paper to the size of the tag, then stamped onto pre-printed paper and added a button. I pulled Lace Ribbon through the top of the tag and added Black Creative Photo Corners to complete the look.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Birthday Ensemble Tutorial

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

I am excited to share with you a tutorial on how to create a three piece Happy Birthday Ensemble. What’s a party without a hat and a straw decor to celebrate a special day?!

Happy Birthday Ensemble Tutorial by MargieHiguchi

Party Hat:

Using the die, create a cone shape and secure with Crafty Power Tape.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble Hat Step1

With a strip of patterned paper cut the edge with a pair of fringe scissor, roll and thread through the narrow top of hat. Using the smallest butterfly liner as a guide from the 3D Foam Butterflies set, trace the shape onto patterned paper and hand cut out. Repeat with the middle sized butterfly.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble Hat Step2

Stamp sentiment in white cardstock and hand cut to create a banner. Cut a circle with patterned paper. Adhere the sentiment with Dodz™ Medium.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble Hat Step3

Add the middle 3D Foam Butterfly, adhere the butterfly antenna with Dodz™ Medium and layer the small 3D Foam Butterfly on top. With E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable, adhere on to party hat.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble Hat Step4

Straw Decoration:

  1. Stamp sentiment in black ink with white cardstock and hand cut a banner shape around it.
  2. Cut/emboss all the die cuts from die templates shown with patterned papers.
  3. Layer and adhere the pieces (circle shape with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and banner, flower, button and wire with Dodz™ Medium).
  4. Adhere the embellished circle with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable to tag and slip straw through.
MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble Straw Step1

Shaped Card:

To create a shaped card, I folded a piece of patterned paper a little wider than the die’s width and the fold was placed UNDER the top blade (see below). This will keep the fold in place without it being cut.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step1

I cut/embossed two smaller banners to create a matted card front.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step2

Using the butterfly liner as a guide from the 3D Foam Butterflies set, trace the shape onto patterned paper and hand cut out.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step3

I cut/embossed two flower die cuts, folded them and adhered them with Crafty Power Tape to create a bigger flower.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step4

Next I edged the 3D Foam Butterfly with green marker for a subtle look.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step5

Then I adhered each layer with Dodz™ Medium on top of the Pierced Circle die cut.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step6

Using a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular, I assembled the card.

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step7

The finishing touch was adding the sentiment stamped with vellum and adhered with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive. LOVE this adhesive – you cannot see it once it’s placed!

MargieHiguchi HappyBirthdayEnsemble ShapedCd Step8

Here’s another look at the ensemble…
