Spooky Halloween Card using Premium Double-Sided Tape

Posted on October 31, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here with a Not So Spooky card, my last Halloween card for the year. sigh. 😉

Spooky Halloween Card using Premium Double-Sided Tape by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Isn’t this fun little witches boots image so cute? I sat down one day and stamped out a bunch of cute Halloween images to add to cards and bags, and treat sacks, and I am down to this last one finally! Lets add it to a card!

A Not So Spooky Tutorial

To make the main panel, I used my Premium Double-Sided Tape in 1/4″ size, and placed three strips across the panel as shown.

TIP: it’s best to snip the overhang ends off, and not tuck them behind the panel.

Remove all the liners, and generously apply glitter onto the exposed adhesive strips. Tap off the excess glitter.

Adhere the glittered panel to your card with Black Crafty Foam Tape. The black tape ‘disappears’ on dark backgrounds like this.

Add your tag, I hold the tag over where I want it to go on the card, and place the 3D Foam Squares there in the non glittered areas, then stick it down.

To finish, add a few fun sequins to brighten it up! 🙂 Paired with what’s left of my stash of candy, it’s ready for delivery! Happy Halloween!

🙂 AJ

Happy Halloween Card

Posted on October 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

It’s almost here, just a few days away! This is my favorite holiday to create for, I’m not sure why…might be the cute images, or fun colors.

Happy Halloween Card by AJ Otto For my project, I started with the background image stamped and then heat embossed. I wanted the focus to be on the sentiment/tag so I lightly washed over it with a shade of lighter purple watercolor.

AJOtto-WitchHat-2

The background panel is popped up using Crafty Foam Tape in Black on the card base, as is tag, using 3D Foam Squares. I adhered the sequins and black string with our new Dual Tip Glue Pen. Place a small drop where a few pieces of strong intersect, and it holds in place, and dries clear.
Is anyone else enjoy creating for Halloween as much as me, or am I alone with my obsession of all things Halloween? 😉

enjoy!

Sleeping Woodland Fairy Mixed Media Wall Art

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. I’m back today with a mixed media wall art. This is one of those (many) projects that evolved into something completely different to what it was meant to be at the outset :). But I am really happy with the end result and I hope you will like my Sleeping Woodland Fairy, too.

Woodland Fairy_Asia King1

At first, I was hoping to create a hanging with a mask decorated in a fancy Venetian style. I knew I wanted to focus on autumnal colours so I started off by painting the backing board with acrylic paints and stenciling some lovely texture with a mix of translucent embossing paste and Gold, Pink and Brown Pigment Powders. To ‘fancify’ my mask I stenciled a butterfly onto tissue paper and decoupaged it onto the mask using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. As I thought my mask looked more tribal than Venetian I decided to take a completely different take on the project. At least you can see what my Fairy looked like before the make-over :).

Woodland Fairy_Asia King4

My frame was heavily treated with layers of Texture Crackle and paints, as well as White Linen spray and a DIY Gold Pigment Powder mist. My backing board got mist-treated as well and I added some background stamping.

You might have noticed that originally my plaster mask had hollow eye sockets. To add the (closed) eyes I used no other than my trusty DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D! Cool, huh? 🙂

Woodland Fairy_Asia King2

After painting over the previous stenciling, the texture on the Fairy’s skin looked a bit like tree bark wrinkles, which I thought was quite fitting for my forest lady.

The head scarf was first inked with Color Wash sprays and when it dried, I soak it in a Fabric Stiffener. As I was arranging it around the face I started building up layers of faux moss, embellishments, fruits and flowers secured in place with lots of DODZ 3D, and the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Woodland Fairy_Asia King3

I also soaked a fabric flower in the Fabric Stiffener and added some highlights with paints. When it was all dry I brushed it with glue from the Dual Tip Pen and sprinkled some micro beads over.

Supplies:

DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D; Adhesive Dots Large, Dual Tip Glue Pen

Media:

Color Wash ink sprays (Ranger) – Red Pepper, Butterscotch, Lettuce; Dylusions White Linen Ink Spray; Vermillion Archival Ink (Ranger)

DecoArt: Silver Sage, Oyster Pearl, Country Red, Muted Gold, Coffee Bean, Enchanted, Quinacridone Gold paints; DuraClear Ultra Matte Varnish, Texture Crackle, Fabric Stiffener

Dreamweaver Translucent Embossing Paste; wooden frame, resin-plaster mask

Stampendous – Cling Vintage Letter; The Crafters Workshop Mini Chickenwire Reversed stencil

I hope you enjoyed this little walk in the autumnal forest – I would LOVE to know what you think :). Please feel free to also visit my blog for additional close up photos.

Have a fabulous week!

Autumn Card

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Happy Tuesday, my crafty friends. It’s Lisa here and I’d like to share with you a card I made in an Autumn theme.

I used pigment powders to totally make the organza ribbons ROCK!! And the gourd and pumpkin die-cuts have such beautiful shiny highlights that were painted on with the gold and brown pigment powders. A little water, a little pigment powder, and a brush…and you’re ready to go. So easy!

To get the ribbon to look so beautiful is very simple. Cut it to length (plus a bit extra), and mist the ribbon heavily with water. Tap out the desired colors of pigment powders onto a craft sheet. A little goes a long way! Then smoosh your damp ribbon VERY thoroughly into the pigment and into your hands so that it is fully coated with pigment. *Tip – your hands will get discolored, so it is important to use something like a craft sheet or something you don’t mind turning colors. Wash your hands right away.

Then, using a heat tool, dry the ribbon. It will start to shrivel and shrink as it MELTS! That is the key. You can get it super shrivelly or not, it’s entirely up to you and your preference. Tap off as much excess pigment as possible.

This entire card is so elegant and would be really pretty made into small tags for Thanksgiving. The pumpkin and gourd were water colored and die cut with Adhesive Sheets as backing for easy placement and maximum adhesion. (I love using the Adhesive Sheets with my dies. Perfect placement with those teeny pieces.)

All the card panels are adhered into place using my trusty E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today for this Autumn Card. I hope you learned a few new tricks. 🙂 Have a wonderful week!

Celebrate Autumn

Posted on October 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Happy weekend to you! Michele here with a fun way to use ribbons on your card! How about creating a wreath using ribbon scraps? I used denim and lace ribbons to create the base for my wreath. With some fun autumn inspired embellishments and a sentiment, you’ve got a card with great texture and interest!

And as is pretty typical of me, I used Crafty Foam Tape to add dimension between my layers to create additional depth. The pumpkins and ribbon bow were adhered using Dodz Medium and Dodz Small.

I used these two ribbons for my wreath and then snipped the ends, denim and lace.

I die cut a circle within a circle to serve as the wreath’s base. It was easy to adhere the ribbon around the circle.

Here is one more peek at the finished product!

Enjoy your weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Christmas Tags

Posted on October 23, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with some fun Christmas tags for you. Do you create your own tags? I love how adding a handmade tag just makes the gift that much more special.

I created some Christmas cards the other day ~~and~~ ~~since the supplies were still all over my desk~~ and thought that I might as well get a start on my tags as well.

I was able to use many of the scraps that I had from creating the cards. Of course layering them onto the cardstock base is so easy with the E-Z Runners and a simple addition of some staples just for interest.

I also love mounting some bits using the 3D Foam Squares for an easy added detail. Not very often I don’t use stitching on my projects but today I left them really clean.

Now as I said, I do love handmade Christmas tags – my only problem is that I tend to keep them rather than give them away. I have a bunch just tucked into a wooden drawer and I use it as part of my Christmas decor. 🙂

Products Used:

E-Z Runner Permanent Strips

3D Foam Squares

DODZ – Small

Other Supplies:

Pattern Paper: My Mind’s Eye

Twine: Divine Twine

Dies: Papertrey Ink

Punches: Marvy

Staples: Tim Holtz

Pop Up Christmas Card with the E-Z Dots Permanent

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a pop up Christmas card I made with the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable and other great adhesives.

It’s such a fun project, here is my tutorial for you.

1 – Prepare a folded card with marks for three pop up boxes in different sizes. I used the following sizes: above: 2,5 cm x 2,5 cm; 3,5 cm x 2,5 cm; 4,5 cm x 2,5 cm. Leave 1 cm between the pop up boxes.

2 – Then cut with scissors by the drawn lines and fold it to pop ups.

3 – Prepare another folded card for the back. You can cut it something bigger to fold it around.

4 – Adhere the back card with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable

5 – Prepare some decoration papers for the pop up boxes and adhere them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

Tipp: If you use transparent paper use the Crafty Power Tape not the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable, otherwise you will see the blue dots through the paper.

6 – Use some ribbons to decorate the boxes. Use the Crafty Power Tape – 81′ to adhere them.

7 – You can also use some bows to give them a lovely touch. Use the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

8 – This is what it looks inside. Now you can also decorate the outside of the card. I used some Die cuttings and a wood embellishment.

This Pop Up card is also great for Birthdays. But now Christmas is coming… 😉

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Thank You Card with Glittered Flower Tutorial

Hi, it’s Isha here. I am back with you today with A Thank You card and a tutorial for some fun ways to use few of the wonderful adhesives.

I am really enjoying all the various kinds of adhesives and the various ways to use them! I especially love the new E-Z Runner® Grand, it’s so easy to use and also to refill 🙂 Then there are these Adhesive Sheets, which I used to apply glitter today and the 3D Foam Creative Sheets, which I use to layer my tag. Lastly, I used the DODZ™ 3D to layer my flowers and DODZ™ Small to adhere the bow and center of the flower.

Thank_You

This is how I made my card:

Thank_You_Step1

First die-cut the tag using 3D Foam Creative Sheet white. It has adhesive on both sides.

Thank_You_Step2

Make a watercolor wash background. Die-cut using pierced rectangle die. Die-cut the tag from the watercolor wash background.

Adhere the background mat layer to the white card base using Double Sided Tape Runner Grand.

Mix some water to the gold pigment powder and flick onto the mat layer.

Thank_You_Step4

Remove one side backing from the 3D Foam Creative Sheet and adhere the watercolored die-cut tag, remove the 2nd. side backing and adhere it onto the mat layer.
