Once the Glimmer Mist is dry, begin to apply the Creative Photo Corners in lines working upwards from the bottom.

Stagger the lines (brick fashion) to achieve a nice overlap. Continue upwards until the triangle is covered.

Home Made Holidays with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®

Posted on November 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

It’s that time of year again- Baking for the holidays. I managed to find bottles for my home made vanilla on Amazon and ordered up a few boxes.

Now, with home made vanilla as the gift, the tag must also be home made and take center stage.

I started with the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes, and figured the gingerbread would be best suited.

To start, place your ginger bread person on your tag, and remove the backing.

Cover liberally with brown flock and tap off the excess.

To create the glittered strip on the second tag, adhere a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape towards the bottom.

I decided to stamp my sentiment first to make sure it was straight. Pull off the backing, and tap on some glitter to cover all the adhesive. This is WOW! metallic glitter and is the PERFECT sized glitter for this technique. AJOtto-HolidayGingerbreadTag-7

Die cut one last tag out of patterned paper and stack them all together, punch a hole through the top, and then tie them on to your bottles! Now to dress the remaining ones up!
What are you making for hand made holidays this year? 🙂
Enjoy! AJ

Painted Winter Flowers – Seasonal Card

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here and today I have a wintery seasonal card with a twist :). Some of my friends don’t celebrate Christmas in a frosty wintery climate so I decided to throw in some flowers and make this card a little bit different.

Painted winter flowers_Asia King 1

I started off by stamping the flowers onto a winter themed design paper and added highlights with a dimensional paint writer and crystal glitter. To create a mat for my stamped panel I covered a piece of black cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and sprinkled it with black glitter. To adhere the panel to the mat I used Home & Hobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape – 1/2″ Permanent.

Next, I wrapped a sparkly ribbon around the panel and embellished the card further with a glittery snowflake and snow dots from the 3D Foam Snowflakes. For my sentiment I stamped the image with black ink and heat embossed it with the sparkly Kaleidoscope powder. I fussy cut the sentiment and corresponding mats from green cardstock and my DIY black glittered card.

After layering the pieces with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser I popped my sentiment over some 3D Foam Squares Regular – White. I also added a matching bow secured with DODZ 3D.

Finally, I adhered the decorated panel to the card base with Home & Hobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape – 1/2″ Permanent and added final snow highlights to the ribbon and the sentiment panel.

Happy Thanksgiving Card Tutorial

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a card to celebrate Thanksgiving! I host the holiday each year for my family, but I always send a few cards to my loved ones out of town.

I did a bit of water coloring to the panel and then splattered it with a bit of black water color. The panel was attached to black card stock and then one cream panel that was inked with a bit of purple and orange. I used the E-Z Squares® to adhere the layers.

Happy Thanksgiving card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The leaves were die cut with water color paper and of course… water colored! I gave them a coating of glitter and adhered them using Adhesive Medium. I adhered the sentiment using the Crafty Foam Tape White. For a finishing touch I tied a bit of black twine and added a few sequins using Adhesive Dots Small. I will be starting my Christmas cards next! But for now I will enjoy my family and count my blessings for all that I have. 🙂

Have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones!

Michele

Supplies: Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots Medium, Crafty Foam Tape-White, E-Z Squares®, dies, water colors, twine, sequins, cardstock, sticker

You Are Cool Card

Posted on November 23, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with a ‘cool’ winter themed card.

I received some new papers, dies and stamps the other day and couldn’t wait to put them to use. Of course when building the base I put the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips to use as they work so well to hold the panels in place.

To adhere the snowflakes I used some DODZ™ Small to hold them in place and then when I was happy with their position I staple them for an added texture. I mounted the cup on the 3D Foam Squares.

Tip: The MyStik® Repositionable Dots work well for holding dies in place while cutting. I wanted the ‘straw’ cut out of a scrap piece of paper and since it is a long thin die, I didn’t want it to move around so I just use a few of the Dots and it worked like a charm.

Thank you for visiting today.

Mixed Media Christmas Canvas

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a mixed media Christmas canvas I made.

I use this as wall decoration. It’ a simple project (next time I will try it with my kids) and here is my tutorial for you.

1 – Prepare your canvas background with white Gesso and add some Canvas Ribbon. Cut it in a shape of landscape. Use also white Paper to create a dimensional look. Adhere it all with the Crafty Power Tape.

2 – Prepare different fabrics and ribbons for a Christmas tree. I used Denim Ribbons, Lace Ribbons, Texture Ribbons and Canvas Ribbon. Cut it in a way to get from big at the bottom to small upwardly.

3 – Adhere the ribbons one after the other with the Crafty Power Tape.

4 – This is what it looks after adhering the ribbons. I also used some threads from the canvas ribbon to create shrubs.

5 – Add some Christmas elements, like Dots and tree from 3D Foam Christmas Shape and 3D Foam Trees. Use silver or wintry printed foil on your shapes and adhere them here and there. I also added some Die cutting leaves.

6 – Add some snow with white Gesso on your tree and landscape.

7 – Sprinkle with some Glimmer Mist kraft.

8 – Adhere a embellishment with the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.

I hope you will give it a try and have fun.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂
