Merry Christmas Card with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a simple-quick-to-make festive card featuring the brilliant 3D Foam Hearts

To achieve those beautiful shiny foil stars select 3D Foam Hearts and Designer Foils

The hearts are sticky on both sides when removed from the backing paper. Place onto the reverse of the foil, turn over and burnish lightly.

The foil transfers beautifully.

Next I die cut a white square, stamped Merry Christmas and wrapped around twine – affixed on the reverse with Crafty Power Tape,

Matted this onto a die cut red square with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable.

Affixed the 3D Foam Hearts over the twine and a smaller one near the stamped sentiment.

Easy!

Gold Leaves Napkin Ring

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone!
It’s Judy here today to show you how to make foiled leaves for a fall table setting. These are quite easy and look so elegant!

Gold Leaves Napkin Ring by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Die cut small and large leaf from the black sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Remove backing from each leaf front. Place Metallic Transfer Foil sheet, gold side up, on each leaf. Rub well to fully stick the foil to leaf. Peel off foil sheet.

Cut piece of thin florist wire for each leaf. Place wire on non-stick craft mat. Cut piece of ⅛ʺ Premium Double-Sided Tape slightly shorter than each leaf from tip to stem end. Place tape along one end of florist wire.

Place large leaf upside down on work surface. Hold along one edge and peel backing past center of leaf. Place florist wire with tape on leaf back. Cut 2 short pieces of florist wire to fit from stem towards outer leaf points. Apply tape along each piece. Place on leaf back. Replace backing over wires and rub along wires to secure.

Remove backing from leaf and backing from tape. Place gold Metallic Transfer Foil on leaf back. Rub well. Peel off foil backing. The leaf is covered with gold on both sides.

Repeat for small leaf using stem wire only, no short wire pieces.

To make the wire stem gold, place leaf right side up on non-stick craft mat. Place piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch on front side of wire stem. Roll tape around wire. Remove tape backing. Wrap gold foil around wire and rub to secure. Repeat as needed to completely cover wire.

The leaf can be shaped by bending wire to give it dimension.

To make the napkin ring, wrap coarse weave canvas ribbon around napkin (about 7ʺ). Secure ends with Extreme Double Sided-Tape 1/2-inch. (Option: simply wrap Texture Ribbon around napkin without securing ends. Twine will hold it in place.) Wrap twine around Texture Ribbon. Add a tiny stamped tag. Tie bow. Shape leaves and tuck them under twine.

How pretty at each place setting for Thanksgiving dinner!
Thank you for visiting! I’m so pleased to be here as a guest designer!
Happy creating!
Judy

Christmas Greetings

Posted on November 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here to share a few Christmas cards from my stash this year!

I am not a fan of mass producing, I like to mix it up a little, but sometimes production line style card making works best- similar layout, colors, embellishments, etc.

To start, create a few card bases, I went with a paler blue, and am adding red and a lighter shade of green here using the E-Z Runner® Grand.I then die cut, and stamped my sentiments and images onto watercolor paper. I washed each die cut with a different shade from my color palette. This piece needed a bit more mmph behind it, so I adhered it with Crafty Foam Tape. This die cut I adhered with a few of the larger sized 3D Foam Squares from the Mixed pack. A few different color washes, and images and it’s not as boring. I think the lighter shades of blue and green is going to be my favorite combo this season!

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Hero Card with 3D Foam Stars

Posted on November 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa with you on this very special day…Veteran’s Day (here in the U.S.) and I’m especially proud to be posting on behalf of the Design Team as I AM a Veteran. Today means a great deal to myself and my family as we all served in the military (the United States Air Force) and swore to protect and serve this beautiful nation that we live in. So, I’m thrilled that I’m able to share a card that I made to celebrate this day.

LisaAdametz-Hero-11112015-1

I used the amazing 3D Foam Stars with Foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit to create the focal stars. It’s so simple to do! I then adhered the stars to an embossed piece of cardstock which I had already trimmed to size.

I stamped the sentiment in an embossing ink and heat set with a silver embossing powder onto a piece of cardstock weight vellum which I wrapped in a banner style around the piece with the foiled stars. This was adhered in place using Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix, White.

I then created a background using Gelatos® by scribbling them onto my work surface, spritzing with water, and then “smooshing” my paper directly into the wet Gelatos®. I dried the paper in between until I achieved the look I desired. On top of this background I added stars and sprinkled glitter on top to adhere to to adhere to the stars.

All the panels were adhered using plenty of E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

Celebrate Life

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hi there! Michele here with a card to brighten your day! It’s just a fun little card using a cloud stencil, die cuts, and water colors. I have been resurrecting some of my old craft supplies, can you tell? The cloud stencil had about 6 inches of dust as did my dies! 😉

Celebrate Life card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

Between layers of card stock, I used the Crafty Foam Tape in white to give a bit of depth to the card. The sequins were adhered with Adhesive Dots Small.

My sun was adhered to the card front using E-Z Squares®. I added a sticker for the sentiment and voila!

It’s a gentle reminder to celebrate life. Each and every day. 🙂

Fall Scrapbooking Layout

Posted on November 8, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a Autumn Scrapbooking Layout I made with the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

The E-Z Dots Permanent is my fav adhesives to adhere paper layers in a flat way. I used a leaf on top made of thick cardboard to create a 3D view. And I also used the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix for my little sketch of a hazelnut you can see above the leaf to accentuate the wilderness in a forest.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Do Not Open ‘Til Christmas

Posted on November 6, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with a fun Christmas layout. Seems like only yesterday my grand daughter was this little. This year will be a little more interesting… she will be almost a year and a half 🙂

I really wanted to photos to be the focal point and if you know me at all… I love text print so it made the perfect background for my layout. I adhered the photos and the strips of paper along the side with the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips, so quick and easy to use and hold up very well.

I cut the title with my Silhouette and used the DODZ Medium to adhere it. I always stitch part of my layouts, titles and embellishments for added detail so the DODZ are perfect for holding it in place. The second photo from the top is mounted using the 3D Foam Squares as I wanted it to have a little more dimension.

I love these photos and am so happy to finally have them scrapped.

Harvest Embossed Card with 3D Designer Foam Shapes

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Happy November~!! Just for the occasion, I created a “Harvest” card using our 3D Designer Foam Shapes, 3D Foam Leaves with Foil.

Harvest Embossed Card Using 3D Designer Foam Shapes by Margie Higuchi

I started off by cutting these die cuts (went through the machine twice) – the pennant was cut with a sheet of copy paper in between the die cut and denim to prevent shifting. Use scissors to cut away the stubborn uncut areas.

Now to the 3D Designer Foam Shapes! I used gold and brown Pigment Powders to color each of the leaves in the 3D Foam Leaves set. You only need a little bit of the powder to cover.

Tip: Use the powder stuck on the back of the lid. The maple leaf is the focal point so I covered it with red flock and then highlighted it with brown pigment powder. 🙂

The 6 x 6″ card base was embossed for more texture = LOVE!

Tip: Lghtly mist the card base with water to soften the fibers for a crisper embossed design.

I scored the top of the pennant (instead of ironing the edge – lol!) and added the Extreme Double-Sided Tape – ¼” in the scored area. Adhere on the back of the card. I added a small piece in the back of the pennant to keep in place on the card front.

For the wreath die cut, I placed adhesive on the back using Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12″. Then centered it on top of the pennant and add the embellished 3D Foam Leaves as pictured in the finished card.

Using a white canvas ribbon, I wrote “Harvest” and trimmed it to fit under the maple leaf which I adhere with Extreme Double-Sided Tape – ¼”.

Here’s another look at the card…
