Wedding Invitation – From Simple to Stunning!

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today….sharing a wedding invitation I created for my sister in law’s upcoming nuptials!

Wedding Invitation - From Simple to Stunning! by Angela Ploegman

The request was for simple, flat invitations with a western feel and a combination of fonts….the design process started with a few different iterations….one of my early favorites is used only card stock and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Crafty Power Tape 20′ Roll and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

The bride requested a little more vintage detail and so I turned to lace ribbon and used some Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ to hold it down…

She LOVED the end result and so do I….even the UPS clerk admired them and asked if I’d do her wedding invitations!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Precious Layout

Hi everyone Laurel here with a… wait for it… a layout!  They are few and far between these days 🙂  I love scrapping photos of my grand daughter but she spends so much time here, I don’t have the time for scrapping!

2015 07 03_0713For this layout I first gathered my supplies – pretty much always a runner and 3D Foam squares 😉

IMG_7066TIP:  I love using the E-Z Runner as a little goes a long way.  I always do a bit of stitching on my projects so I don’t need a lot of adhesive.  The stitching is only for decoration, the adhesive works wonders!

2015 07 03_0715Another way I like to add interest to my project is with layers and bits.

2015 07 03_0714After fussy cutting some flowers from a piece of the pattern paper, I mounted them with the 3D Foam Squares

Make Your 4th Sparkle with 3D Foam Stars

I am excited to share my FUN and simple card that I created with our 3D Foam Stars shapes. What a great way to celebrate America’s birthday 🙂

3DFoamStarBurst 6x6 Card by Margie Higuchi

Let’s start with the card panel. I used three different patterned papers to create my 6 x 6″ card. Loved the look and they were scraps left from my Wish You Were Here Travel Book project. I cut/embossed it using my 6 x 6 Matting Basics B Die #8 (the smallest size die is #1) with my Grand Calibur® Machine.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 1
MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 2

To give the edges a finished look, I inked them with a teal colored ink.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 3

I cut/embossed 6 x 6 Matting Basics B Die #8 with teal cardstock. Adhere this layer with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips on the card base.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 4

Now for the fun part! Center the largest star from our 3D Foam Stars onto the card panel. Then place the second largest star by shifting it slightly to the right so that the top peak of the largest star is in between the peaks of the second star. This creates a star burst look. Repeat this shift for each star. TIP: use all five nesting star sizes for a FULL EFFECT – creates a spectacular focal piece!.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 5

To finish, I sprinkled glitter on top of the entire center piece and brushed off the excess. Added a rhinestone in the center.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamStarBurst6x6Cd Step 6

I adhered the embellished card panel with Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix Black on top of the teal cardstock. Here’s another look at the finished card…

With Love – A Layered Tag

Hi everyone Christine here today with a layered tag, again using some of my most favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

CE With Love Tag 1

I’m a huge fan of kraft card and the color so the Creative Photo Corners – Kraft are a real hit with me, I like to use them on the corners of patterned paper – remember you can ink them too.  I’ve cut a piece of patterned paper – My Mind’s Eye, On Trend, positioned the corners and attached to a tag with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.CE With Love Tag 2

I then layered a smaller tag and attached this with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.CE With Love Tag 4

My sentiment is a rather fine die cut and these can be challenging to stick but no problem with Adhesive Sheets, perfect to run through your die cutting machine.CE With Love Tag 3I applied some further die cuts to create a multi layered look.CE With Love Tag 5 The finished tag.CE With Love Tag 6

3D Foam Shapes Wedding Ensemble

This time of season we are into the wedding events. I just got back from watching my sweet friend’s daughter getting married last weekend! Congrats Ally & Jon!! With that in mind, I created a wedding ensemble using 3D Foam Shapes that I hope will help to inspire in an upcoming event.

3D Foam Shape Wedding Ensemble by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I am sharing some of the highlights with you in each of the pieces I created in this ensemble…

Wedding Shaped Card

I cut and embossed the pieces used for the card from various die templates. The smallest oval I stamped the sentiment onto patterned paper and then placed the die over to cut/emboss.

Scored 1″ from the top of the largest frame die cut (this will be the back of the card base).

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 3

I applied E-Z Dots® Permanent in the scored area only. This will act as a hinge to create the shaped card. Placed the matching die cut over it to create one shape.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 2

I placed one Adhesive Dots Small on each corner and sprinkled glitter on top. Gently press down the glitter and shake off excess. You just created sparkly embellishments! Assemble card by stacking die cuts with 3D Foam Squares and tie a bow with organza ribbon.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 4

Wedding Gift Bag

Cover the front with patterned paper, using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit the largest 3D Foam Frames and place the frame on top of the paper. Take the liner off and sprinkle with glitter. Shake off excess and place a stamped circle die cut on the left side of frame with a 3D Foam Square Black Regular to balance.

Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit the top of bag (think border or band), punch a hole 1″ from the end on each side, thread organza ribbon through and tie a bow. Next, ink edges and adhere on top of bag with 3D Foam Square Black Regular. Add the embellished frame sentiment to finish.

Wedding Boxed Place Card

Assemble the box from die template with E-Z Dots® Permanent.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 1

Poke a hole in the center of the box top with a memo pin and stack two 3D Foam Squares Black Regular inside. Set aside.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 2

Sprinkle glitter on two bows from the 3D Foam Party Shapes and one small heart from the 3D Foam Hearts sets.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 3

Place the glittered heart on the name card.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 4

Match up the two glittered bow with the memo pin in between to create an accent.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 5

Cut/emboss a small circle doily and adhere on top of the box top with E-Z Dots® Permanent. Poke a hole with piercing tool and add the embellished memo pin. Add mints in the box and it’s ready!

Celebrate Card using Adhesive Sheets and Foil

 

Hello! AJ here with another Adhesive Sheet foil card!  I hope foil is still in, I have quite a bit to use up still.  😉

AJOtto-Celebrate-1I thought basic colors would be really fun with the balloon dies, this go either way for a guy or a lady, and or any type of celebration.  I’m a fan of versatility. 😉AJOtto-Celebrate-2I keep several sheets of white card stock already adhered to the Adhesive Sheets so that I can pull them out and use them at any given time for die cutting.

AJOtto-Celebrate-3Place your die face down onto your card stock, run through your machine, and remove from the die.  Peel the backing off, and place onto the backside of your foil.

AJOtto-Celebrate-4Burnish the foil into the die a bit, and gently peel it back from the foil. You can always place it again if you missed any spots.AJOtto-Celebrate-5I wanted my balloons to be popped up at various levels, so I added a few 3D Foam Squares to the backside.

AJOtto-Celebrate-6Last, I popped up the whole panel with my trusty Crafty Foam Tape.  Everything should be popped up with Crafty Foam Tape.  😉

enjoy!

AJ

Patriotic Card Tutorial

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here and I have a neat little Independence Day card (or any other patriotic occasion) for you today. I’m using some exciting new products that you’ll be sure to LOVE!

Patriotic Card Tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Patriotic Card

1. I started by creating my card front ¼” smaller than my A2 sized card base (that way I knew I could add a little bit of color between the card base and card front.) On the front panel I used an embossing folder with a diffuser and ran it through my embossing/die-cutting machine to get an open area.

2. Next, using three different sheets of patterned paper I die-cut my stars. This all goes very quickly since the stars were still attached. Then I just mixed and matched the papers.

3. Using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in for the backs of the stars to keep them all secured together.Two pieces does the trick and they stay in place.

LisaAdametz-USAStars-2

I stamped the letters “USA” in a watermark ink and then heat set them with an embossing powder in glittery red. After that was complete, I filled the letters in using watercolor pencils.

4.  I used the Double Sided Tape Dispenser Grand (also part of the HomeHobby by 3L line) to secure the ribbon to my card front. I also tied a small piece of baker’s twine around one side, which I secured with an Adhesive Dots 3D.

Tip: Adding a Dodz Adhesive Dot under your ribbons and bows is a great way to keep them from shifting and sliding.

5. Using an assortment from the 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, I applied a variety all over the backs of the stars. In areas that would just overlap other stars, I used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

LisaAdametz-USAStars-4

This was so much fun to create and I always love to make and share ANYTHING patriotic!

Happy 4th of July!
