Creating a Summer Thank You Card With 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Hello! I am thrilled to share a summer thank you card using our 3D Foam Creative Sheets to make my sentiment POP! So think of this type of card to THANK your host after the next summer gathering! It’s real easy to create, let me show you how.

Summer Thank You Card Using 3D Creative Foam Sheets by Margie Higuchi

First I cut and embossed the card front three times – nest the Inset and Border dies of the Diagonal Chevron set with white cardstock (Die Cut #1); cut the Border die with blue patterned paper (Die Cut #2); and cut the chevron design from the Border set (the bottom half) with darker blue patterned paper (Die Cut #3).

Next using the Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″, I placed top half of Die Cut #1 and rubbed to transfer the adhesive on its back. Then I repeated the same process for Die Cut #1 for the bottom half. Then adhered it on top of Die Cut #2. Using the same adhesive sheet, I placed pieces from Die Cut #3 in areas where there were adhesive on the sheet…a great way to use up the sheet 🙂

For the sentiment, I wanted it to pop so I pulled the paper liner back from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and placed the patterned paper on top. After I trimmed the part I needed, the “Thank You” die was placed on top and cut through my manual die cutting machine.

Tip: When cutting through a thick material, make sure to shim and cut a couple of times through your die cutting machine.

Adhere all the pieces on the card panel such as sequins with the Adhesive Dots Small and the sun die cut with Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips from Home and Hobby by 3L® Line to adhere the embellished card panel to a A2 size white card base. It’s ready to go! Here’s a second look…

Notecard Holder with Extreme Double-Sided Tape

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hello everyone, Christine here today with a Notecard Holder tutorial. First off it looks like a card but it actually consists of an outer cover with two pockets inside. These make great gifts for special friends and family and they are fun to make.

Notecard Holder by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, cut a piece of cardstock to 5″ x 11″ and score at 5″ and 6″. This is your outer cover, place to one side.

CEmberson - Notecard Holder 1

For the inner pockets, cut two pieces of card measuring 3.25″ and 6.25″. Score each pocket at 0.5″ and 1″ on all three sides.

CEmberson - Notecard Holder 2

Cut the bottom square sections from each of the scored pockets – see picture.

Using a bone folder, fold along the score lines and attach Extreme Double-Sided Tape – 1/4″. This is a new tape from the HomeHobby by 3L® range and it is super strong!

Once you have your pockets taped collect your cover, position and affix them as pictured.

Now to decorate the outer cover and inner pockets. I’ve chosen a gift tag as part of my cover decoration and attached pretty paper from Bella BLVD using my trusty E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

To attach little die cuts and stickers I went straight to my 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

With Love & Sympathy card

Posted on July 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here with a not so fun sympathy card. I always say I am going to stock up on a few sympathy cards, they aren’t ever easy to make on demand.

I decided to create one with a somewhat happier color scheme, with a light and airy feel to it. To start, I adhered the blue patterned paper to my card base using our newest brand of adhesive Home & Hobby by 3L® Premium Double Sided Tape in 1″. Because I only need to use two strips of it. 😉I wanted to pop up my watercolor panel, so I used a few strips of our Crafty Foam Tape in Black to do just that. To finish the card off, add a few enamel dots, and thinking of you message. I hope the recipient will enjoy it!

enjoy- AJ

Remember Card

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! It’s Lisa here with you and I have a sweet and simple card to share with you today.

LisaAdametz-Remember-07272015-1

Create the card base with the fold at the top. This is a standard A2 card. (4¼” x 5½”). The patterned paper was trimmed ¼” smaller than the card base. Two strips of additional patterned paper were also cut at ½” each.

Adhere the patterned paper strips to the main piece of patterned paper using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp the sentiment in embossing ink and heat set it with a brown embossing powder. Then add the stars at the bottom. Coat the stars with a white embossing powder and heat set them.

Die cut the word “Remember” and it’s backer — again, out of patterned paper. Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser adhere the Remember to the backer and then add 3D Foam Squares White Small to the back before applying to the card front.

To adhere the card front to the card base I used my VERY favorite E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. I love this thing!! If you don’t have one yet? Get it! NOW!

To finish off the card wood veneer stars were added which were adhered with Dodz Small. Twine was wrapped around the top of the card and a small pearl was added and secured with a Dodz Small.

I added a little sparkle to one of the stripes, as well. I thought it was just the right finishing touch. Here’s a close-up:
