Roses Of Friendship With Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone, Asia King here. Today I am sharing a friendship card, which I had lots of fun with. The inspiration for my card came while looking through some old photos of my auntie’s cottage garden. She has a lovely patch with a beautiful rose bush climbing over a wooden trellis. I’ve always loved sitting there, enjoying the sweet scent and delicate rustic blooms so I thought it would be fun to create a small rose trellis on my card.

I began by covering a piece of golden sand cardstock on both sides with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″. Next I peeled off the protective sheet from one of the sides and covered the card fully with Gilded Mica Fragments. Once I’ve rubbed off any excess flakes, I run the panel through my die cutting machine with the Grateful Lattice die. This became my trellis frame (I’ve kept the die cut Lattice pieces for another project). Because the frame already had the adhesive, it was really quick and easy to fix it in place on a red mat card.

Next I stamped Wild Roses collage stamp onto the Shuttered cardstock, covered the back with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and die cut it with the Grateful Lattice die. This time I used the Lattice shapes to ‘fill the gaps’ in the trellis frame (and kept the rest for another project).

Finally, I stamped the Wild Roses again onto watercolour paper and coloured them in with Inktense pencils. I again covered the back with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and fussy cut the roses. I then decided to snip the stems off and adhere them straight onto the card and I popped the blooms onto some Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White.

To assemble the rest of my layers I used Home & Hobby E-Z Runner® Grand – Permanent Strips (available soon!) and for my embellishments I used DODZ 3D. I finished the card with pearls, seam binding ribbon and decorative pins. I also cut out some words from an old acetate packaging (for Prima flowers) and fixed them in place with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″. Adhesive Sheets are perfect for transparencies because they are ‘invisible’ due to their full and even coverage – seriously, I just love this stuff! 🙂

Lucky Shamrock Card Tutorial

Posted on March 13, 2015 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone…or should I say “Top O’ the Mornin” to you? St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and I’m seeing green!

I created this dimensional Lucky card with lots of Foam Products.

After I cut out my shamrock shape with my Brother ScanNCut machine, I matted it onto another piece of green cardstock using my Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares.

I placed 4 medium sized 3D Foam Hearts into each of the shamrock leaves and added green glitter. I love the sparkle!

Then I used my E-Z Runner™ Permanents Strips to adhere this layer to my card base. The dispensers are interchangeable, so I put a red E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips into my blue E-Z Dots™ Permanent dispenser.

I also cut out the “Lucky” sentiment with my ScanNCut and used the small 3D Foam Squares to pop it up.

Add a bit of twine, and the card is done! With my leftovers, I quickly made another card.

Now I just have to figure out who is lucky enough to receive these cards!

May all your rainbows have a pot of gold! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy Anniversary Shaker Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here with you to share how I created my shaker card today. And I will admit…this was my very first shaker card. But, having the right adhesives makes it so much easier!

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-1

Not bad for my first shaker card, huh? 😀 I’ll be sending this to my parents. Their anniversary is this weekend. ♥

I’ll be honest. I looked up a LOT of tutorials before making this. But the only one that was any help was one that I found on YouTube by Kimberly Crawford and she actually USES the 3D Foam Creative Sheets, too! (The girl was in my brain, I tell ya.) Between her video and my tutorial I hope that this will get the job done. 🙂

1. Create card base (mine is A2 sized and scored on the horizontal edge). Add patterned paper 1/8″ smaller and adhere with E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable.

2. With dies that nest (fit within each other to create a frame) die-cut the following: 1 frame out of black cardstock and 2- frames out of 3D Foam Creative Sheets, black. Then using only the large piece of the two dies used to make the frame, die-cut the following: 1 piece out of patterned paper and 1 piece out of acetate.

That will create 3 frames (one cardstock and 2 out of 3D Foam Creative Sheets) and 2 solid pieces (one patterned paper and one acetate).

3. & 4. To build the shaker I found it easiest to build from front to back. So, I started with the black cardstock frame, then the 1st 3D Foam Creative Sheet Frame, then the acetate, the 2nd 3D Foam Creative Sheet Frame, NOW the embellishments (being careful not to add to many – less is more…and FLAT is best), and then finally the back of the frame (which is the patterned paper).

Be sure to stamp the patterned paper prior to building the shaker if you have a sentiment within your shaker.

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-2

I placed a TON of 3D Foam Squares in black on the back of the shaker piece and will adhere towards the end.

5. Cut two lengths of organza – approximately 12 – 14″ in length.

6. Using an embossing gun, melt the ribbon. Be extremely careful as the ribbon gets VERY hot! (This trick doesn’t work with all ribbon types.)

7. Holding the end of the ribbon in a pair of tweezers, wrap into a rose shape. Secure with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

8. Apply Whipped Spackle over card front through a stencil. Once dry, wrap black satin ribbon around card and tie in bow. Secure bow with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. Once the bow is secure then the shaker piece can be added by removing the backer pieces off of the 3D Foam Squares, Black, and any additional embellishments can be added.

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-4

I hope that you enjoyed my first foray into shaker-card-land. And that my tutorial made some sense. The key is knowing how many pieces to cut and of what! I think that if you were using a simple shape like a circle it would be way easier. Also be aware that using a die-cutting machine WILL flatten your 3-D Foam Creative Sheets. So, if you have enough on hand you may want to cut a few extra. 🙂

Purple and Gold…

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hi! Michele here with a tutorial on how I created my card today. I have been loving my water colors so much, that lately that seems to be the medium I turn to most! With the addition of a few of my favorite adhesives, a bit of glitter, texture paste, and flowers, I have a card all ready for spring! Purple Flowers by Michele Kovack

I had these flower stickers in my stash and wondered if I could color them. (Because I have literally water colored everything in sight lately!) Well, the answer to that is a resounding YES!

I water colored a background and then cut my flowers in half. Crazy I know! But this weirdo brain of mine had a plan! 😉

But first, I wanted to break up the purple a bit, so I pulled out a circle stencil and swiped some texture paste over it.

While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled some bronze glitter, wiped the edges a bit, and set it aside to dry.

Once dry, I wanted to adhere my cut flowers and create a trim for the bottom of my water colored/glittered panel using those 1/2 cut flowers.

I adhered them using my Dodz™

I tied various shades of purple ribbon and adhered those with my Dodz™ as well.

The water color panel was adhered to a piece of white card stock using my E-Z Squares®

Then that panel and an additional white panel were adhered to the white card stock using my Crafty Foam Tape. I wanted the card to look a bit like framed artwork.

Here is one last look at my finished project.

I hope my card brought a bright spot to your day! 🙂

I’m Seeing STARS – Vegas Scrapbook Page

Posted on March 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here with a fun scrapbook page featuring 4 x 4 photos from my recent trip to Las Vegas:

I'm Seeing STARS - Vegas Scrapbook Page by Angela Ploegman

I used stars to create the circles of stars in the background. The white stars were covered with glittered embossing powder, the gold stars were covered with gold pigment powder and the red stars were covered with a red glitter. The 3D Foam Stars were also covered with red glitter.

I reinforce all chipboard alphabets with Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″. It saves me the frustration of having to reattach my letters after the pages are loaded into my albums. Here’s a close up of the title work:

Lawn Fawn Blog Hop – Day Five

Welcome to Day 5 of Blog Hop Week With Lawn Fawn

It’s Blog Hop week with Lawn Fawn, join us all week, and enter to win a fabulous prize through the Rafflecopter system each day! Be sure to visit Lawn Fawn for their fun projects and prize too!

It’s Lisa with you today and I’m super excited to share a little card I made showing just a few of the awesome ways that Lawn Fawn Flutter By (the stamps and dies) and our Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® can be used together.

I stamped, embossed, and then water-colored a few of the flowers, leaves and the butterfly onto watercolor paper and set aside — after they were die cut (these were all from the Flutter By set). I also stamped and heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Scripty Sayings along one side of a pre-cut piece of paper from the Beachside Petite Paper Pack.

Using a stencil with stars I added a little Whipped Spackle (which is a light modeling paste) and allowed to dry.

On a separate piece of the Beachside Petite Paper Pack I used the stars from the E-Z Stars Refillable. Don’t you love how they match the paper? So adorable. I coated them with embossing powder and heat set. Easy and beautiful.

Attach the Beachside piece with the stars to the card base with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable. Then wrap twine around the bottom of the polka-dotted piece, tie in a bow. Attach 3D Foam Squares White, Regular to the back of the polka-dotted piece and attach to the piece with the stars (allowing the E-Z Stars Refillable to show).

With various layers of 3-D Foam Squares White, Regular and 3-D Foam Squares White, Thin adhere the flowers. Using both the regular and the thin foam squares allows for a varying degree of thickness and also keeps the dimension more pleasing to the eye.

Adhere butterfly using Adhesive Dots Medium m.

Wish You Were Here Travel Book Lawn Fawn Blog Hop – Day 3

Posted on March 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Welcome to Day 3 of Blog Hop Week with Lawn Fawn

It’s Blog Hop week with Lawn Fawn, join us all week, and enter to win a fabulous prize through the Rafflecopter system each day! Be sure to visit Lawn Fawn for their fun projects and prize too!

I am sharing a travel book that I created using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheet – 4 x 6″, Adhesive Dots Small and 3D Foam Squares – White, Small. Also with these Lawn Fawn items: Wish You Were Here Stamp Set, Wish You Were Here Lawn Cuts, Pint-Sized Patterns: Beachside Petite Paper Pad (6 x 6″) and Lawn Ornaments Sequins, I ended up with this FUN book. Come join me in the process!

Wish You Were Here Travel Book by Margie Higuchi

I started with a black 4 x 6″ art book and primed it with Gesso (two to three coats with dry time in between coats). Then painted three coats of Sea Breeze Chalkboard Paint (don’t forget the dry time in between coats). Then to finish I sealed it with Glaze Medium.

On a 3¾ x 5¾” piece of High Seas patterned paper, I rolled stars on the edge as a border. I used a small watercolor brush to apply the gold pigment powder on the stars. You only need just a little bit (I took powder off of the lid! LOL!). No pigment powder? Glitter or Embossing Powder work too!

I placed the embellished patterned paper on to a Adhesive Sheet – 4 x 6″ and burnished with the round edge of my bone folder. Then place it on the front cover of the book.

Next I used the Adhesive Sheet – 4 x 6″ to apply adhesive on my letter die cuts and adhere them on top of the patterned paper on the book to create my title.

To die cut my Coral patterned paper, I first applied the Adhesive Sheet – 4 x 6″ on the back of the paper. Then stamped the U.S. Map image and secured the die over the image with repositionable tape. Cut with my die cutting machine…the Adhesive Sheet does not leave a sticky residue on my machine or on the die. TOTAL COVERAGE = LOVE!!

My sentiment was stamped on the Polka Dot Bikini patterned paper and I hand cut it to create a ribbon tail banner. After adhering the U.S. Map die cut on to the book cover, I placed the sentiment on top with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

After I was done, I felt I needed something more so I added more stars in the title with the Pigment Powder – Gold and added Lawn Ornaments Sequins with Adhesive Dots Small.

So I’m excited to use this new book as I have a couple of fun trips planned this year 🙂 Here’s another look at the Wish You Were Here Travel Book – you can see the dimension of the banner and sparkly sequins!

Lawn Fawn Blog Hop Day 2

Posted on March 3, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! It’s Blog Hop week with Lawn Fawn, join us all week, and enter to win a fabulous prize through the Rafflecopter system each day! Be sure to visit Lawn Fawn for their fun projects and prize too!

AJ here to share a fun way to use pigment powders along with my favorite new sentiment stamps from Lawn Fawn!

I really love their cute patterned papers, so perfect for card making.

I thought I would try a different way to use the Pigment Powder- grab a small pile with your brush, and spray a *very* small amount of water next to it and mix.

You can make it the consistency you want by adding more/less powder to water ratio, I wanted it to be thicker to splat onto my card. It looks a bit like the consistency of mercury in the older thermometers beading up and clinging to itself.
Load up your brush and flick onto your card front. Repeat until desired look is achieved. I tried this with another project last week and it works awesome, but needs to be set. A light spray of cheap hairspray will do the trick if you don’t have a sealer of any kind.

I love the fun little texture it adds to my card base, and the slight shimmer to my stars!

enjoy!

Lawn Fawn Blog Hop – Day 1

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Christine Emberson

It’s Blog Hop week with Lawn Fawn, join us all week, and enter to win a fabulous prize through the Rafflecopter system each day! Be sure to visit Lawn Fawn for their fun projects and prize too!

Hi everyone, Christine here today spreading some love! I’ve chosen to make a clean and simple card and here’s a little tutorial.

I created my card base and selected Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings stamp set. I stamped ‘thinking about you’ across the bottom.

I then die cut from white card, Spellbinders A2 Modern Stationery and a Classic Heart aperture. Next I selected the very pretty Let’s Polka Mon Amie paper.
