Mixed Media Gift Tag – Thanks

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today sharing a mixed media tag using negative space.

Mixed Media Gift Tag - Thanks Tag by Angela Ploegman

First up, I inked a manila tag with a selection of pink, red and blue inks. Then I sprinkled some water on the tag to create an aged look. Once dry, I stamped on the tag and applied a die cut piece of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″ – love how this adhesive cuts so cleanly and DOESN’T gum up my dies! To the adhesive, I applied some silver leafing.

I then backed the entire tag with another part of the Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″. I kept the tag on the adhesive backing and die cut the letters out of the tag. Then I removed the adhesive backing and adhered the entire tag to a piece of card stock. In order to include some money or a gift card with this thank you tag, I used a Keepsake Envelopes – Mixed on the reverse side of the tag.

Easy, peasy – right?

TIP: Save the letters. They can be used on another project and they’re already backed edge to edge with adhesive!

Girl Themed Birthday Cards

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone Laurel here again. Are you feeling the heat? We sure are and right now it is the perfect temperature for me, I wish it would stay like this all summer (we are in the 20s) but it is forecast to get up in the 30s… too hot for me, guess I will have to hide out in my craft room 🙂

Last time I was here I shared some boy themed cards for the students in my class. This week I have some girl themed ones. Although they are clean and simple they do have interest and dimension.

I stamped the image on the pattern paper twice. One is to be used as the main image and the other I just used the head.

I mounted the head using some of the 3D Foam Squares and then mounted the body to the card using 3D Foam Squares as well. So simple but added dimension that the kids love.

TIP: I love to fussy cut but one thing that makes it easy is a great pair of fine tipped scissors. With the right tool it is so fun, with the wrong one – well… just some stress that we don’t need 🙂

Of course I layer and adhere my main panels with the E-Z Runner® Permanent and then to a card base.

Products Used:

3D Foam Squares

E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine

Paper: Pink Paislee

Treasure Layout with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a layout I created using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser and Crafty Foam Tape White.

Treasure Layout with Crafty Foam Tape by Erica Houghton

First, I cut, distressed and adhered several layers of pattern paper using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser.

Next, I adhered flowers and chipboard embellishments using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Tip: Crafty Foam Tape White is very sticky making it the perfect adhesive to hold those dimensional embellishments secure. Give it a try next time you want to adhere flowers, chipboard and/or mental accents.

Cherish Yesterday Card with 3D Foam Leaves and Adhesive Dots 3D

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. Today I have gone into a ‘blooming’ overdrive with my inspirational card as my card is full of handmade florals :).

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King1

A while back Angela Ploegman posted this awesome cupcake card where she used the 3D Designer Shapes for stamping. I fell in love with this idea and wanted to try it out. So I used 3D Foam Leaves to stamp my leafy background wreath. Once I had my leaves stamped I used the impressions as a guide for further detailing with my pencils. Once I was happy with my leaves I added an inspirational quote as my focal point of the card highlighted with a gold pen.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King4

To create my daisies I punched the flowers from patterned paper and added some definition and shape with an embossing tool. To attach the layers I used DODZ Medium. Once my layers were secured I added my lovely enameled flower centres which I created by heat embossing the DODZ 3D.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King3

To secure my flower compositions I added two handfuls of DODZ 3D and DODZ Medium. I also tucked in several 3D Foam Leaves covered with Brown Pigment Powder. Once all my elements were in place I added some paint highlights and a light misting with white ink spray and my own DIY sprays made from Gold and Brown Pigment Powders.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King5

Supplies:

DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D, DODZ Adhesive Dots Medium, 3D Foam Leaves, MyStik® Permanent Strips

Other supplies:

Stampendous – Cling Cherish Dream; Mahogany Tinsel Embossing Powder

Inktense pencils – Derwent; Spiced Chai StazOn Mini ink

patterned papers; kraft cardstock, green handmade paper, DecoArt Chalky Finish – Lace paint, gold pen, flower punches (Woodware), suede twines and ribbon (May Arts).

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration – I’d love to hear what you think! Thank you for stopping by today and see you next time!

Pretty Gift Bag – An Inspired Tutorial!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a tutorial for a gift bag. I was inspired to make this after seeing AJ’s Gift Bag ensemble where she layered up gorgeous peach embellishments with a doily die cut. Here is my take on AJ’s project.

Christine Emberson Pretty Gift Bag

Firstly, I adhered patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye – Fancy That!) to my kraft gift bag using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

I attached a flower embellishment (Kaisercraft – Forget Me Not) using 3D Foam Squares Small White.

I continued to layer up embellishments – die cut hearts using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Final additions a flower and a Happy Birthday stamped banner secured with Crafty Power Tape.

Knowing the 3D Foam Squares are so easy to apply makes this a speedy job – brilliant if you have to make more than one gift bag!

Thank you for stopping by today, take a look back through previous blog posts and see what inspires you, happy crafting 🙂

An Inspired Happy Birthday Card

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hello friends! It’s Beth and I have been inspired by one of AJ Otto’s cards. AJ has a way of creating in a clean and fresh style. Sometimes I find myself over-thinking, so I decided to follow along her Hello Card tutorial.

Happy Birthday Card by Beth Pingry

I didn’t create another tutorial myself, but I did make some adjustments. I used a paper collection, and instead of layering a circle die cut and tag, I used an image and patterned papers, then layered a vellum tag die cut onto it. I inked the edges and wrapped it with twine tied to the vellum. I layered with 3D Foam Squares.

I die cut the vellum with Adhesive Sheets, they’re great for edge to edge coverage especially on see-through vellum! I also used Adhesive Sheets for the Happy Birthday die cut.

This was a fast and fun way to create, and I love that AJ did the hard part! Thanks AJ, you’re the best!

You’re a Gem Card using Crafty Power Tape to Create a Background

Posted on May 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here with card I copied myself on. 🙂 One of my favorite things to do is to create my own background, and it’s so incredibly easy with Crafty Power Tape!

You're a Gem card by AJ Otto You can see my Gold Foil card that I use as an inspiration starting point. Basic same idea, with a few less stripes, and whole lot more open space.

To start, lay your Crafty Power Tape down, butting each piece up to the next.

Remove the backing, and press down your product of choice- glitter, foil, here I am using Zoom Creative Sheets. I then want to add another stripe going across in a different direction. I then stamped my image and sentiment, and am popping it up with 3D Foam Squares.Here’s an angled shot where you can see the Wink of Stella Glitter, I just love how it adds just the right amount of sparkle!

enjoy!

Elegant and Simple 50th Anniversary Card Tutorial

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

It is wedding season which also means that anniversaries are coming up! I was asked to create a 50th wedding anniversary card – what an honor! I’d like to share how I created this beautiful 50th wedding anniversary card – so simple! PROMISE!

Elegant and Simple 50th Anniversary Card by Margie Higuchi

First I cut/embossed the frame die set with a combination of white cardstock and gold mirror cardstock. I embossed the largest die cut to create texture and interest.

I found another oval die that fit perfectly into the oval space and a landing area for the butterfly. The layers that are mentioned so far were adhered by E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips onto the white card base.

After cutting/embossing the butterfly die, I applied DODZ™ Medium to its center and placed it on the card front. Are you familiar with our Dodz™ products? It is a double-sided, clear adhesive easy to use. They have a strong bond making them perfect for intricate objects like this butterfly die cut. Love their single dot dispenser – no fighting the stickness! LOL!

I gently bent the butterfly’s wings for dimension and added a pearl in the center. It’s ready to given…another look.

Supplies List:
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: DODZ™ Medium and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips
Dies: Spellbinders® Creative Arts (EG-001 Graduated Dots Embossing Folder (retired), S2-069 Outrageous Butterfly, S5-230 Romantic Rose and S6-012 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace); Cardstock and Card Base: Darice/Core’dinations ColorCore® Cardstock (white cardstock and card base) and WorldWin® Papers (Gold Mirror Paper); Pearl: Want2Scrap©

Elegant and simple to re-create. I hope you give a try! If you are looking for more wedding themed project, visit Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Wedding Projects.

Any Occasion Card

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa on the blog today and I thought it would be fun to share a card that could be used for so many upcoming occasions. Grads, Dads, Congrats, or just Thinking of You.

LisaAdametz-YouMeanTheWorldToMe-1

Cute, huh? And super easy, too!

Just cut a piece of white cardstock into 4¼ x 5½ (A2 sized) and score it on the horizontal – the long- edge to start.

1. Die cut the Globe twice using two different colors of cardstock. Punch a circle out of typing paper. Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable completely coat the typing paper with adhesive and lay the pieces of the Globe die cut over it. This will help the tiny pieces fit and adhere.

2. Die cut the Globe “holder” out of black cardstock. Place 3D Foam Squares in Black Mix and adhere the Globe on top.

3. Stamp sentiment in black pigment ink, emboss using clear embossing powder. Cut strips of cardstock into ¼” strips. Draw light pencil line from edge to edge on a diagonal. Cover open area with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips. Lay strips of cardstock over adhesive. Burnish to ensure hold. Trim from back.

4. Die cut red heart. Place one Thin 3D Foam Square, Mix White on the back and adhere to Globe.

LisaAdametz-YouMeanTheWorldToMe-2

5. Apply E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive to the back of the completed Globe and adhere to card front. Coat heart with a high gloss medium.

6. Wrap baker’s twine around card twice and tie in bow. To secure, place Dodz™ Medium on tip of scissors and slide under knot. Press down.
