Festive Fancy Bow

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Festive Fancy Bow card tutorial all made possible with the fantastic products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

First I selected an Adhesive Sheet, the 6″ x 4″ size are brilliant for smaller items. I placed my red cardstock between the layers.

I placed my dies onto the reverse side (non yellow) and die cut.

Once cut I peeled away the backing revealing the adhesive stuck to my die cuts.

Liberally sprinkled with embossing powder.

Tapped off the excess and set with a heat gun.

To assemble my card front I used MyStik® Permanent Strips.

To add dimension I matted the card front onto red cardstock with Crafty Foam Tape White.

The bow is affixed with 3D Foam Squares Small White.

The finished card.

Woodland Forest Fox Canvas Pennant Tutorial

Posted on October 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Today I’m sharing the Congratulations Fox Canvas Pennant part of my Woodland Forest Fox Birthday Ensemble featured in the Spellbinders Whimsical Woodland Blog Fest a couple of weeks ago. The Forest Fox is just too stinkin’ cute!!

Woodland Forest Fox Birthday Canvas Pennant by Margie Higuchi

By nesting the dies together and cut/embossed with different color cardstock, I had color choices to use on my ensemble (open frames, etc.) I used the smallest die cuts as accent pieces for my pennant. To create more interest, I embossed my die cuts with an embossing folder. Note: lightly mist the cardstock with water before embossing for a crisper design.

Using Home and Hobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape – ¼”, I adhered the two die cuts onto a canvas pennant. To give more dimension to the background, I adhered the third die cut with 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular.

For the fox, I cut/embossed/stenciled my pieces with Kraft paper. I assembled and adhered with HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen (think paper piecing). I added black faceted rhinestones for its eyes and nose. Then I adhered the fox piece on top of the layered pennant front.

Next, I cut/embossed “Congratulations” using yellow cardstock and adhered the words with Adhesive Sheet – 4×6″.

Lastly, I adhered two wooden buttons using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D and wrapped twine around each button (and DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D to secure) to create a loop to hold the pennant on the wall.

Here’s another look…

Happy Fall Card with E-Z Dots Repositionable Resist Technique

Posted on October 16, 2015 by Guest Blogger

Hi, it’s Isha here for another Guest Blogger post. I am back with a Happy Fall card and some fun ways to use few of the wonderful adhesives.

As I wrote before, 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 foil and glitter today. Lastly, I found my new favorite “E-Z Dots Repositionable® Refillable runner”, I used this to create a resist for my background.

Happy Fall Card by Isha Gupta for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This is how I made my card: (notice that I used the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refill in the E-Z Runner® Refillable dispenser! Remember to put the top on before using!)

Creating a Resist with E-Z Dots Repositionable

Happy_Fall_Step1

I used a watercolor layer and applied E-Z Dots Repositionable® Refillable adhesive in vertical rows.

Happy_Fall_Step2

I applied watercolors over this adhesive. Let dry. The adhesive act as a resist, which you will see in the photo below.

Happy_Fall_Step3

Rub the adhesive using your finger tip to remove it and expose the white paper below!

Happy_Fall_Step4

Die-cut this layer using the stitched rectangle die. Die-cut an acetate sheet too. Now die-cut a circle in this panel. Use Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ to the back and attach the adhesive.

Happy_Fall_Step5

Die-cut the other shapes. Watercolor and let dry. Take a small piece of Adhesive Sheet and apply a little adhesive onto the pumpkins. Put a small piece of gold foil (Shiny side up) and a little glitter.

Happy_Fall_Step6

Adhere the leaves and the pumpkins using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″. This is really strong adhesive.

Happy_Fall_Step7

Create a shaker card and adhere the card to the card base using E-Z Runner® Grand!

Happy_Fall_cl_up

This is how the shaker card looks in a close-up photo.

Autumnal Birthday – Card Tutorial

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Asia King

Morning Friends! Asia King here and today I am falling in love with autumnal colours…:). I created this richly coloured birthday card with a DIY background and I have a tutorial for you as well. Let’s begin!

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King1

Start by preparing your supplies to create your own background paper. This was the first time I played with my new Brusho crystals. In addition to the powders I also kept a White Linen ink spray and my DIY pigment powder sprays handy.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King4

1. Create a custom background by sprinkling Brusho crystals onto watercolour paper and misting it with water. Build layers with an addition of white ink spray and the DIY pigment powder sprays made with pigment powders in Gold and Brown.

2. Stencil a few hibiscus flowers using distress inks.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King5

3. Create card base from yellow cardstock and trim the background 1/16th inch smaller than the base on each side. Distress the edges.

During this step I decided to take a different route to what I originally planned. At first I stamped my image onto the background paper in black but it just didn’t fit the autumnal look I was going for. So I cut the stamped image out and adhered only the ‘frame’ to my card base using HomeHobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

4. Next, stamp your image with brown ink within the aperture. The cardstock I used had a textured surface so my stamped image has a textured, printed look, too. You can fill in the areas with more ink if you wish.

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King6

5. Add some gems along the aperture and adhere using Dual Tip Glue Pen.

6. Add flowers and ribbon (use the finished project photo as a guide) and adhere the elements using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D,

Autumnal Birthday Wishes_Asia King7

7. Cover some 3D Foam Leaves with Pigment Powders in Gold and Brown. Paint the edges of the foam with a gold pen and add the leaves to the flower cluster.

8. Cut a few small leaves from scrap paper and shape them in your hands. Punch a few pine branches from terracotta cardstock. Add the leaves to the card using DODZ Adhesive Dots Small.

To finish, spray the flowers and the rest of the card with a gold mica spray for additional sparkle.

Copper Foiled Photo Corners on a Fall Thanks Card

Posted on October 12, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers….it’s Angela today sharing a card using altered Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Creative Photo Corners – White.

Copper Leafing on Photo Corners by Angela Ploegman

The photo corners were super easy to alter. I simply cut a strip of the photo corners off the sheet, keeping the backing in place and applied an Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″ to the fronts. A quick burnish to get the adhesive in all the grooves and then I removed the photo corners from the Adhesive Sheet and added the copper leafing!

Easy, right! I love the effect….I altered the card stock letters similarly.

Boo Mini Mixed Media

Posted on October 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi there everyone! Long time no see! It’s Lisa back from my moving escapades to get crafty with you and I’m sharing a super scary mini mixed media project with you today. This little ~~cutie~~ , ummm, SCARY piece measures 6″ w x 4″ t and is made out of MDF (medium density fibreboard). I love this stuff as it’s great for mixed media projects! Most home improvement stores sell it and will cut it to whatever size you wish. Yay!

LisaAdametz-BooGlue-10112015-1

To use MDF for mixed media and make sure that any other mediums that you put on top don’t “sink” into the board it’s a good habit to prime it first. Gesso is excellent for this. I primed the MDF with two coats of Gesso and it comes in different colors. I used white.

1. Once the Gesso was dry I used a palette knife to coat the piece with a copper colored crackle paint medium. The thicker the layer, the thicker the crackles. I’m a little impatient when creating so I tend to heat set the paint which lends to smaller crackles.

2. To deepen the “crackle” effect I smooshed both Black Soot and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink into the cracks and blended them out with a baby wipe. It’s barely noticeable, but definitely adds dimension.

3. I had also coated the little skulls with Gesso (totally unnecessary, but a habit), then pressed each into Versamark. Once thoroughly coated I brushed 4 skulls each with Gold Pigment Powder and Brown Pigment Powder.

4. Close up of the finished skulls.

LisaAdametz-BooGlue-10112015-2

5. Place a square from the 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small onto the back of each skull.

6. Cut the number “31” from a piece of patterned paper. Distress and apply black ink to the edges. Apply E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable to the back and adhere into place.

7. Adhere all of the skulls into place. On top of the “31”, but leaving space on the side.

8. Die-cut letters spelling “BOO” three times from black cardstock. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen adhere each letter together to provide thickness. Once dry, adhere into place also using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. This glue dries fast, clear, and non-tacky.

And one last look of the finished piece with some close-ups and different angles:

Be Happy!

Posted on October 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here today! I have a saying that has been my mantra lately. Two simple words, Be Happy! Sometimes life has a way of sucking the wind out of your sails from time to time, and we have to fight to be happy.
It’s a conscious choice I try to make every day. Even when my dryer breaks, the plumbing in the bathroom leaves me with two inches of water and an unusable sink, and have a sinus infection! (true story!) 😉

I did lots of water coloring and adhered it to the card using Crafty Foam Tape. The flowers and leaves were die cut with water color paper and given a wash of water colors as well.

I used Dodz™-Medium to adhere the flowers and silk ribbon to the card panel. I also used the Dodz™-small to adhere the leaves and sequins. (So much easier than glue I tell ya!)

Pretty simple card….but simple is good sometimes, right? 😉

Have a great day and be sure to find your happy! 🙂

Supplies: Crafty Foam Tape-white, Dodz™-small, Dodz™-Medium

Other Supplies: die cut machine, water colors, water color paper, sequins, ribbon, sticker

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a quick and easy card I made with die cutting scalloped circles and the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable and Keepsake Envelopes.

Card in a Card with Keepsake Envelopes tutorial by Stephanie Schutze for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I cut out some circles in patterned and white paper and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable and I added an embellishment sticker in the same color scheme.

There is a card on a card for adding an Keepsake Envelope for a gift card, voucher or money. So if you open the first card you can find a little surprise and if you open the second card you can find the wishes and some sentences.
