Layers of Flowers Card

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Beth Pingry

It’s March 1, we’re almost there! It’s been super cold here in Chicago, so I’m pulling out the flowery papers and thinking Spring. It’s Beth, and I have a little tutorial today.

Beth Pingry - Layers of Flowers Card

Grab some label dies and find a larger image to highlight. Die cut and ink it up.

I used 3 flowers, and a Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D in between each, and then the glittered on the top layer.

More glitter on 3D Foam Leaves!

This is what I used to adhere the card – 3D Foam Squares behind the stamp images, Thin 3D Foam Squares behind the die cut pieces, and then Kraft Creative Photo Corners.

I assembled the layers and from here, you can see the dimension you get from each of these adhesives.

Quintessentially British – Union Jack 3D Foam Pennants

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Asia King

Hello Friends, Asia King here. Today I’m sharing a set of note cards I made for a blog friend who absolutely adores London. I tried to embrace the British/London theme and here’s the result :).

quintessentially British_Asia King1

First I created 4×4″ bases for my note cards from cardstock distressed with a sanding block and covered them with patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips from the E-Z Runner® Combo – Value Pack.

Then I stamped the images in blue and red onto white cardstock and distressed the edges with Tea Dye ink.

I backed my stamped panels with cardstock mats using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and I popped them onto the cards with Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White. I also fussy cut some smaller elements and adhered them to my cards with Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White.

Watercolor Card with Foiled Hello

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi! It’s Lisa here with you today to share a cool card using some of the new products AND some of the the faves along with a bit of watercoloring. I hope that you enjoy it!

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-1

First I created the watercolor background. Just lots of really loose, lovely colors here. But, I wanted to be sure to interject some gold and leave some white space. Then I added a few rows of stars. And, using a soft brush, I added a light dusting of gold pigment powder directly on top of the stars by swirling the pigment on top of the stars in a circular motion.

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-2

On the opposite end of the watercolor piece I used a metallic gold pen and drew dotted lines to finish the edge.  Little touches like this are what make a card so personal and unique.

Onto the “hello”! Using the 6 x 12″ pack of Adhesive Sheets, I cut a 3 x 4″ piece out (to the size of my cardstock and the Hello die). Following the directions on the yellow release paper I removed the adhesive and burnished it onto the cardstock. (Keep the yellow release paper! It comes in handy.) Die-cut the “Hello” following the directions and remove the release paper from the adhesive side.

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-3

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-4

Once the release paper is off, place your foil shiny side up onto your die (which will now be VERY sticky) and burnish (rub) using a bone folder or something similar. As long as the surface is sticky enough and has been burnished in well, the foil will adhere.

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-5

After the foil was adhered I HAD to get a little mixed media-esque. 😉 So, I added a little Gold Texture Luxe™ around the edges of the die cut. It brings all of the gold from the background together with the front of the card.

After adding the Texture Luxe™  I added E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable to the back of the die-cut. Using the release paper made it really easy to do this and not get adhesive everywhere. Just another tip! Then adhere to the front of the watercolor piece.

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-6

Place 3D Foam Squares Regular White on the back of the watercolor piece and adhere to card base. All done!

LisaAdametz-FoiledHello-7

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have an amazing and creative weekend!

Hi! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a layout I created using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Value Pack, 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Crafty Foam Tape White.

Love the Value Pack of Adhesives!

I created this layout by layering several sheets of pattern paper and adhered them using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Value Pack. I absolutely LOVE this the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Value Pack as I never have to worry about running out of adhesive while creating, plus I can recycle and reuse my tape runner because it includes two refills!

Hello!

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hello! Michele here with a shaker card! I needed some sunshine in my life, and since Mother Nature is refusing to cooperate, I used some fun, bright colors for my card! I used a stencil and various inks for the background.  I adhered the stenciled background to my card using E-Z Squares®.  I sponged ink on a rectangular panel in yellows and oranges.  I used a die cut for the word hello.Hello card by Michele Kovack

 

I adhered acetate behind the sentiment and popped up the panel with 3D Foam Squares.  I added sequins to the center and adhered it to the stenciled background.  I tied yellow ribbon and added a clear plastic flower to the bow’s center using a DODZ™ Medium.  For a finishing touch I added Dew Drops using Small DODZ™ Small to the front of the card.

hello close twoI hope I’ve brought a little bit of cheer to your day! Have a great one!

Spring Pennant Chain with Adhesives Sheets, 3D Foam Butterflies, Die Cutting and Stitching

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hello there,

It’s Stephanie here today and I  created a banner with fabric die cutting, stitching and adhesives.

Stephanie_pennant_1My base is canvas pennants, I used the three and lace ribbons to create a spring pennant chain.

And here is the tutorial for you how I made it.

Stephanie_pennant_2

1) First choose different fabrics and adhere each of them on a Adhesives Sheet 4×6″.

2) Then use your die cut machine to cut out three flowers.

3) I decided to add a bit of textile paint onto the pennants to give them a bit of shabby chic. It’s your choice to do this.

4) Then adhere the flower onto the pennant.

5) Add a stitching outline around the flower and also on the middle points. Add a knob.

6) Add some stitching words, phrases.

Stephanie_pennant_3

7) Use 3D Foam Designer Shapes and add Embossing Powder on it. I chose 3D Foam Butterflies and added red, brown and black embossing powder on it. Heat it and let them melt.

8) Find some nice places and add the butterflies here and there.

9) and 10) Use the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ to add a piece of lace or ribbon to hang it on your wall or door.

Celebrate the Day

Posted on February 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today with a Celebrate the Day card.  This could possibly be a birthday or wedding card.

CEmberson - Celebrate 1

My card measures 5 inches square. Before I matted the patterned paper onto the card base I attached Creative Photo Corners – Gold to each corner, they add that little bit of elegance.    I then applied a length of Crafty Power Tape to affix some lace ribbon.   E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips holds the entire card front in place.

CEmberson - Celebrate 2

Additional embellishments are sentiment die cuts held in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and the flowers are Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms.  The tiny hearts also add that little extra!  Easily made with 3D Foam Hearts, remove the paper layer and cover with a little embossing powder, heat gently.

Whimsy Ribbon Flower Hello Card Tutorial

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

I have Spring on my mind as I look out the window to snow…LOL! To brighten up my surroundings, I created a cheerful grouping of flower embellishments to accent the card.

 

Whimsy Ribbon Flower Hello Card by Margie Higuchi

I took a 4⅛ x 5⅜” card panel and embossed it in a folder. (Tip: lightly mist the cardstock with water for a crisper embossing).

 Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step1

 

Mix water and Bubble Gum Gelato® color medium together to create a color mist which I sprayed and splattered on the left side of the card panel.

Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step2

Next I cut in half a 4″ canvas ribbon, adhered together with a DODZ Adhesive Dots Small to create an 8″ ribbon. I rolled it into a flower and secured the end with another DODZ Small. I stuck the bottom to a DODZ Adhesive Dot and set aside to create more ribbon rolled flowers.

 

Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step3

 

This one was created by using lace r. I colored the flower with the leftover Gelato® color mist using a watercolor brush.

 

Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step4

 

3D Foam Leaves were primed with Gesso and colored with a combination of Gelatos® in Green Tea and Spearmint, along with the Stamper’s Big Brush Permanent Olive Green Pen.

 

Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step5
Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step6

 

Another tip: I used the leftover from the ribbon tail I cut below to create texture in the leaves while the Gelatos® colors were wet. LOVE how it turned out 🙂

 

 Margie Higuchi LoopyHello Step7

Assemble all the pieces with a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and Crafty Power Tape to create this sweet card. Here’s a close up look at my flower embellishments 🙂

Recipe Book, Card and Treat Jar Trio

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Welcome to Monday! Today I’m sharing my CHA project, a trio that would make a great gift for the foodie in your life.

Recipe Trio by Beth Pingry, book, treat jar and card

Beth Pingry Recipe Book, treat jar and card

First up, the Recipe Book, I used a stencil and paint to make the chevron pattern, the layered with the canvas flag from the pennants set. I stamped  onto the blue fabric, then die cut it. Crafty Power Tape secures the canvas pennant to the cover, and Adhesive Sheets 4×6″for the fabric to fabric. Crafty Power Tape also holds the Lace Ribbon at the top edge. Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D hold the buttons. I added glitter to the 3D Foam Heart, 3D Foam Pennants, and swirls and adhered them directly to the canvas. The ribbon ties are stamped canvas.

BethPingry-recipetrio2

For the card, I used Adhesive Sheets on the front of die-cut cardstock to get edge to edge coverage of the glitter. Then I added stamped image with 3D Foam Squares. More glitter for the 3D Foam Heart and swirls!

For the jar, I was just in time to catch the clearance sales of Christmas candy, and the red and white M&M’s were perfect (and delicious peppermint white chocolate!) I covered the top of the jar with the denim colored fabric and Adhesive Sheets, then wrapped lace ribbon around the edge. I folded over the canvas and added a grommet, and then stamped onto it. One more glittered 3D Foam Heart and the project is done!

Thanks for stopping in today!
