3D Foam Shapes Wedding Ensemble

This time of season we are into the wedding events. I just got back from watching my sweet friend’s daughter getting married last weekend! Congrats Ally & Jon!! With that in mind, I created a wedding ensemble using 3D Foam Shapes that I hope will help to inspire in an upcoming event.

3D Foam Shape Wedding Ensemble by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I am sharing some of the highlights with you in each of the pieces I created in this ensemble…

Wedding Shaped Card

I cut and embossed the pieces used for the card from various die templates. The smallest oval I stamped the sentiment onto patterned paper and then placed the die over to cut/emboss.

Scored 1″ from the top of the largest frame die cut (this will be the back of the card base).

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 3

I applied E-Z Dots® Permanent in the scored area only. This will act as a hinge to create the shaped card. Placed the matching die cut over it to create one shape.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 2

I placed one Adhesive Dots Small on each corner and sprinkled glitter on top. Gently press down the glitter and shake off excess. You just created sparkly embellishments! Assemble card by stacking die cuts with 3D Foam Squares and tie a bow with organza ribbon.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble Card Step 4

Wedding Gift Bag

Cover the front with patterned paper, using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit the largest 3D Foam Frames and place the frame on top of the paper. Take the liner off and sprinkle with glitter. Shake off excess and place a stamped circle die cut on the left side of frame with a 3D Foam Square Black Regular to balance.

Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit the top of bag (think border or band), punch a hole 1″ from the end on each side, thread organza ribbon through and tie a bow. Next, ink edges and adhere on top of bag with 3D Foam Square Black Regular. Add the embellished frame sentiment to finish.

Wedding Boxed Place Card

Assemble the box from die template with E-Z Dots® Permanent.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 1

Poke a hole in the center of the box top with a memo pin and stack two 3D Foam Squares Black Regular inside. Set aside.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 2

Sprinkle glitter on two bows from the 3D Foam Party Shapes and one small heart from the 3D Foam Hearts sets.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 3

Place the glittered heart on the name card.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 4

Match up the two glittered bow with the memo pin in between to create an accent.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamShapeWeddingEnsemble PlaceCard Step 5

Cut/emboss a small circle doily and adhere on top of the box top with E-Z Dots® Permanent. Poke a hole with piercing tool and add the embellished memo pin. Add mints in the box and it’s ready!

Celebrate Card using Adhesive Sheets and Foil

 

Hello! AJ here with another Adhesive Sheet foil card!  I hope foil is still in, I have quite a bit to use up still.  😉

AJOtto-Celebrate-1I thought basic colors would be really fun with the balloon dies, this go either way for a guy or a lady, and or any type of celebration.  I’m a fan of versatility. 😉AJOtto-Celebrate-2I keep several sheets of white card stock already adhered to the Adhesive Sheets so that I can pull them out and use them at any given time for die cutting.

AJOtto-Celebrate-3Place your die face down onto your card stock, run through your machine, and remove from the die.  Peel the backing off, and place onto the backside of your foil.

AJOtto-Celebrate-4Burnish the foil into the die a bit, and gently peel it back from the foil. You can always place it again if you missed any spots.AJOtto-Celebrate-5I wanted my balloons to be popped up at various levels, so I added a few 3D Foam Squares to the backside.

AJOtto-Celebrate-6Last, I popped up the whole panel with my trusty Crafty Foam Tape.  Everything should be popped up with Crafty Foam Tape.  😉

enjoy!

AJ

Patriotic Card Tutorial

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here and I have a neat little Independence Day card (or any other patriotic occasion) for you today. I’m using some exciting new products that you’ll be sure to LOVE!

Patriotic Card Tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Patriotic Card

1. I started by creating my card front ¼” smaller than my A2 sized card base (that way I knew I could add a little bit of color between the card base and card front.) On the front panel I used an embossing folder with a diffuser and ran it through my embossing/die-cutting machine to get an open area.

2. Next, using three different sheets of patterned paper I die-cut my stars. This all goes very quickly since the stars were still attached. Then I just mixed and matched the papers.

3. Using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in for the backs of the stars to keep them all secured together.Two pieces does the trick and they stay in place.

LisaAdametz-USAStars-2

I stamped the letters “USA” in a watermark ink and then heat set them with an embossing powder in glittery red. After that was complete, I filled the letters in using watercolor pencils.

4.  I used the Double Sided Tape Dispenser Grand (also part of the HomeHobby by 3L line) to secure the ribbon to my card front. I also tied a small piece of baker’s twine around one side, which I secured with an Adhesive Dots 3D.

Tip: Adding a Dodz Adhesive Dot under your ribbons and bows is a great way to keep them from shifting and sliding.

5. Using an assortment from the 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, I applied a variety all over the backs of the stars. In areas that would just overlap other stars, I used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

LisaAdametz-USAStars-4

This was so much fun to create and I always love to make and share ANYTHING patriotic!

Happy 4th of July!

Life is Good – Inspired by Myself!

Hey there! Michele here with a fun way to use your adhesives! Last year I had created a Fourth of July card using the 3D Foam Squares to create the flag. So I wanted to do a take on that.  I wanted to create a background using the Thin 3D Foam Squares and the Crafty Foam Tape in White.  It served as a fun, textural base for my flowers and sentiment.

Life is Good card by Michele Kovack

And the best part?  It has double sided adhesive! So one side sticks to the card, while the other side can be sprinkled with all sorts of fun stuff! Like glitter! Flock! Micro Beads!  I of course chose glitter because a person can never have enough sparkle in their life! 😉

tilebackgroundcard2Want a quick tutorial on how I created my card?

First, you need to grab some Thin 3D Foam Squares and your Crafty Foam Tape!

tile background1

Then decide on a pattern.  I liked the idea of stripes of some sort.

tile background 2tile background 3

I wanted to have a sort of rainbow look for the background, so I thought of the acronym, ROYGBIV, and pulled out my coordinating glitter colors.  I started with my darkest colors first.  I peeled off just the squares I was adding glitter to.

tile background4

For the long strips, I wanted a clear glitter….

tile background5

I love all of the sparkle….but maybe it was a bit too much?  NAH!

tile background6

After water coloring my flowers I pulled out my Dodz™ Small to stick to the back of each flower and leaf, as well as my sentiment!

tile background8

I also used my Crafty Foam Tape to adhere my rainbow colored/flower panel to the card itself. I love dimension and this tape is perfect for that!

Here is one more peek at my card!  I hope I inspired you to think of adhesive as a way to create some pretty cool backgrounds!

Father’s Day Card – You’re the Best!

Hello blog readers!

It’s Angela today sharing a tutorial for this clean and simple Father’s Day Card:

 

angela ploegman fathers day card final_edited-1

I’ve been playing with negative space a lot lately and this card is another example…here’s how I made it:

1. Gather your supplies – you’ll need Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″, Crafty Foam Tape White and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. In addition to the sticky goodness listed above, you’ll also need a patterned paper, solid card stock, alphabet dies, sentiment stamp and some ink.

angela ploegman fathers day card supplies

2. Make an A2 top fold card base (4.25 x 5.5 inches) from the patterned paper. Cut a 4.0 x 5.25 rectangle from the solid card stock. Round two corners on a narrow side of the rectangle.

angela ploegman fathers day card 1

3. Apply the Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ to the back side of the solid card stock. You’ll have to peel up the yellow protective layer, insert the card stock and then allow the yellow layer to fall back into place.

angela ploegman fathers day card 3

4. Remove the yellow protective layer completely. Remove the excess exposed adhesive by rubbing gently with your finger. Arrange the alphabet dies onto card stock.

angela ploegman fathers day card 4

5. Tape in place and die cut. I like using adhesive backed card stock for this step as the die cut letters come out self adhesive this way, ready to use on another project!

angela ploegman fathers day card 5

6. Stamp the sentiment onto the card front.

angela ploegman fathers day card 5b

7. Flip over the card front and apply the Crafty Foam Tape White. I like to reinforce along the top, bottom and die cut edges for a good amount of support.

angela ploegman fathers day card 5c

8. Adhere to the card base flush with the top fold. Use the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the negative spaces in the die cut letters.

angela ploegman fathers day card 6

And you’re all done! Super quick and easy….just in time for Dad’s big day!

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Be Happy card.  I also want to share with you my absolute favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

CEmberson - Be Happy 1

 

First off E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.  This has to be my most used adhesive in my craft kit.  The dispenser is comfortable to hold and because the adhesive is in strips it can be applied exactly where you want it.  Makes matting super quick, I’ve used My Mind’s Eye – On Trend paper affixed to kraft cardstock.

CEmberson - Be Happy 2

 

To affix die cuts I always turn to 3D Foam Squares, here I’ve used 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.  These add just right the amount of dimension and are so easy to remove from the paper, no fiddling about for ages!CEmberson - Be Happy 3Next for smaller embellishments, Dodz™ are the answer. Again easy to apply and you have such a good supply in each box.  Remember you can sprinkle these with glitter too!

Father’s Day Card – I Heart Dad

Hi it’s Beth! Can you believe it’s almost Father’s Day? While making this card I had a few classic Dad-isms in my head, so I’ll share them here too.

Beth Pingry Father's Day Card

My dad is a pretty classic guy, likes cars and boats and while he grumbles about it, he enjoys tinkering with them…most of the time. With that in mind, I went with a car themed card. I had to dig pretty deep, but I knew I had paper with cars. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so we don’t just go out and buy another stack of paper, right?

BethPingry-FathersDay-2

Dad’s a little rough around the edges, so the burlap made a nice border that doubles as a road. I had to add the keys, those are Dad’s most prized possessions. You know you had to do the dishes and finish your homework before heading out in Dad’s car. Be home before midnight, and don’t go wasting gas. He’s watching the odometer, you know.

BethPingry-FathersDay-4

These are the Keys, and I rubbed the Brown Pigment Powder onto both sides of the black keys. This set comes with one white and one black sheet of keys. They dangle on bakers twine.

BethPingry-FathersDay-3

The little flower is actually Canvas Ribbon, which is twisted and rolled, and secured with a Dodz. I added a 3D Foam Heart embellished with Pink Pigment Powder, and then the letters DAD from a sticker set.

Thanks for visiting! Do you have any classic Dad-isms? Share them in the comments, I’d love to hear about your Dad!
