Welcome Little One card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on June 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here with a fun trick to share. I have been currently using glittered card stock as embellishments lately, and thought it might be easy to create my own.
AJ Otto Little One Card

My daughters teacher just had a baby, and I have been itching to use this set for a baby card! I decided since the focal panel is cleaner, I would add a pop of glittered card stock to the edge to jazz it up a bit.
To make your own glittered card stock, start with Adhesive Sheets. Here, I am showing the 6 X 12 size. I have already adhered a piece of white card stock to the Adhesive Sheet, I just need to pull away the backing and cover with glitter. You can do this with any color card stock and any color glitter.

Here I have my glittered piece of card stock- You could also do a full sheet and trim off pieces to size as you need, I was using up a scrap size left over. 😉 And here’s a piece of glittered card stock Ive been hoarding for while for comparison. I’m more than happy with mine, and depending on what glitter you have on hand, it will all vary. To adhere your glittered card stock piece, I used Crafty Power tape. I then popped the whole panel up with Crafty Foam Tape.

enjoy!!
🙂 AJ

Home Journal Page With 3D Foam Designer Shapes

Posted on June 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello Friends! Asia King here and today I would like to show you how easy it is to use your favourite adhesives in a mixed media project. I wanted to have a little play with paints so I created this happy journal page.

Home Journal Page_Asia King 1

F0r my background I added layers and layers of paint, adding depth and detail with washi tapes, stencils, bottle caps and sequin waste. Next I created a banner at the top of my page with 3D Foam Pennants and Creative Photo Corners – White and also threw in a couple of 3D Foam Butterflies. To blend them in I added more paint and lashings of ink sprays as well as my DIY Blue and Gold Pigment Powder sprays.

TIP: To create your own mica spray simply fill a small spray bottle with water, put a couple of beads in and add the Pigment Powder in. Vary the amount of powder depending on how intense you would like your mist to be. After a while the powders naturally settle on the bottom of the bottles so the beads will help you stir the powders before each use. The mists work best over sticky surfaces so use it on your foam shapes etc or over wet paint.

After stenciling through the blooms I added the flower centres with DODZ 3D which I also covered in paint. Finally I added some cute little stars and I covered them with Blue Pigment Powder.

My houses and quotes were stamped onto white card, coloured in and adhered to the page using Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. I added some shading using a chalk pencil. To finish the page I added some rub-ons and some doodling using a black fine liner pen.

Watercolor Anniversary Card

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! Lisa here with a fun way to use some of your die-cuts along with your adhesives. I had never used them quite in this way before and I really loved how it turned out.

LisaAdametz-GoodTogether-1

The background was water-colored and cut ¼” smaller than the card base. One corner may be rounded for interest (as I did).

1. From the water-colored panel the butterfly was die-cut from it, being VERY careful to keep all the pieces in place. A second butterfly was die-cut from vellum.

2. Cover back of water-color panel with MyStik® Repositionable Dots. (This was done for easier positioning later.)

3. Cover back of water-colored butterfly THOROUGHLY and carefully with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

4. Using craft knife, carefully stick down butterfly back down into area that was die-cut. BUT, then lift out outer area BEFORE butterfly fully adheres. Press down to create permanent bond with the remaining pieces of the butterfly. Place the Vellum butterfly on top and adhere in the center using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive.

TIP: “EZ-Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesives are initially removable with the swipe of a finger, then create a permanent bond.”

LisaAdametz-GoodTogether-3

5. Gently remove the MyStik® Repositionable Dots from the back of the water-colored panel and replace with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive. Secure the panel firmly in place and back over the vellum butterfly.

6. Adhere two Dodz ™ Medium to the back of the water-colored butterfly. Create a few loops with some gold thread and secure butterfly on top.

(not pictured) – Add texture with Glass Bead Glitter Gel (through a stencil) and add sentiment with stickers. Outline stickers with permanent pen.

Here’s a close-up of the butterflies!

Watercolor Rose With Inspiration from AJ Otto

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a card that was inspired by AJ Otto! I have been out of my craft room for quite some time due to some family matters, and needed a huge creative kick in the butt! I decided to scroll through our blog and see what hit me up side the head for inspiration. AJ’s strips of paper on her Father’s Day Card was what got my mojo in gear. Rather than use designer paper though, I created an ombre effect using water colors. I then cut the panels into 1/2 inch strips. They were adhered to the card stock panel with E-Z Squares® Refillable.

I stamped the image with Versamark and embossed it in white. The image was water colored and popped up on the doily using Crafty Foam Tape in white. I added a sticker sentiment, a bit of ribbon, and a few sequins. They were all adhered using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.
For a bit of sparkle I added some Stickles to the bottom of the roses.

I love getting inspiration from others and putting my own twist on it! 🙂 Thanks AJ!

Have a great day my friends!

3D Flower – Book Card with inspiration from Michele Kovack

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

I got the inspiration for this card when I browsed through our project gallery on the blog of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®. There is a great tutorial of a 3D Pumpkin from Michele Kovack and this inspired me to create this 3D card.

The basic idea is from Michele but I interpreted it in another context. I used every page in this little flower-book for a special message on the outside and for a bigger message I used the inside of the card.

Here is my tutorial for you.

1 – First cut out 4 Flowers with a Die and your Die cutting machine. I used a Die from Sizzix and my Big Shot Plus. Every Die with a symmetric format works.

2 – Fold the flowers in the middle.

3 – Adhere adhesives with the E-Z Dots Permanent and put your flower together. Let the flower open.

4 – Prepare your Basic-Card. I used a folded card and a single sheet of white paper on top of the cover.

5 – Adhere your book-flower with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

6/7/8 – Now decorate the flower-book with individual and special messages and embellishments.

Check out our gallery with a lot of beautiful tutorials and inspirations at the blog of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®. On the left side you can find different categories to find ideas easily.

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Mixed Media Gift Tag – Thanks

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today sharing a mixed media tag using negative space.

Mixed Media Gift Tag - Thanks Tag by Angela Ploegman

First up, I inked a manila tag with a selection of pink, red and blue inks. Then I sprinkled some water on the tag to create an aged look. Once dry, I stamped on the tag and applied a die cut piece of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″ – love how this adhesive cuts so cleanly and DOESN’T gum up my dies! To the adhesive, I applied some silver leafing.

I then backed the entire tag with another part of the Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″. I kept the tag on the adhesive backing and die cut the letters out of the tag. Then I removed the adhesive backing and adhered the entire tag to a piece of card stock. In order to include some money or a gift card with this thank you tag, I used a Keepsake Envelopes – Mixed on the reverse side of the tag.

Easy, peasy – right?

TIP: Save the letters. They can be used on another project and they’re already backed edge to edge with adhesive!

Girl Themed Birthday Cards

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone Laurel here again. Are you feeling the heat? We sure are and right now it is the perfect temperature for me, I wish it would stay like this all summer (we are in the 20s) but it is forecast to get up in the 30s… too hot for me, guess I will have to hide out in my craft room 🙂

Last time I was here I shared some boy themed cards for the students in my class. This week I have some girl themed ones. Although they are clean and simple they do have interest and dimension.

I stamped the image on the pattern paper twice. One is to be used as the main image and the other I just used the head.

I mounted the head using some of the 3D Foam Squares and then mounted the body to the card using 3D Foam Squares as well. So simple but added dimension that the kids love.

TIP: I love to fussy cut but one thing that makes it easy is a great pair of fine tipped scissors. With the right tool it is so fun, with the wrong one – well… just some stress that we don’t need 🙂

Of course I layer and adhere my main panels with the E-Z Runner® Permanent and then to a card base.

Products Used:

3D Foam Squares

E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine

Treasure Layout with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a layout I created using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser and Crafty Foam Tape White.

Treasure Layout with Crafty Foam Tape by Erica Houghton

First, I cut, distressed and adhered several layers of pattern paper using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser.

Next, I adhered flowers and chipboard embellishments using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Tip: Crafty Foam Tape White is very sticky making it the perfect adhesive to hold those dimensional embellishments secure. Give it a try next time you want to adhere flowers, chipboard and/or mental accents.

Cherish Yesterday Card with 3D Foam Leaves and Adhesive Dots 3D

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. Today I have gone into a ‘blooming’ overdrive with my inspirational card as my card is full of handmade florals :).

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King1

A while back Angela Ploegman posted this awesome cupcake card where she used the 3D Designer Shapes for stamping. I fell in love with this idea and wanted to try it out. So I used 3D Foam Leaves to stamp my leafy background wreath. Once I had my leaves stamped I used the impressions as a guide for further detailing with my pencils. Once I was happy with my leaves I added an inspirational quote as my focal point of the card highlighted with a gold pen.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King4

To create my daisies I punched the flowers from patterned paper and added some definition and shape with an embossing tool. To attach the layers I used DODZ Medium. Once my layers were secured I added my lovely enameled flower centres which I created by heat embossing the DODZ 3D.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King3

To secure my flower compositions I added two handfuls of DODZ 3D and DODZ Medium. I also tucked in several 3D Foam Leaves covered with Brown Pigment Powder. Once all my elements were in place I added some paint highlights and a light misting with white ink spray and my own DIY sprays made from Gold and Brown Pigment Powders.

Cherish Yesterday-Asia King5

Supplies:

DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D, DODZ Adhesive Dots Medium, 3D Foam Leaves, MyStik® Permanent Strips

Other supplies:

Stampendous – Cling Cherish Dream; Mahogany Tinsel Embossing Powder

Inktense pencils – Derwent; Spiced Chai StazOn Mini ink

patterned papers; kraft cardstock, green handmade paper, DecoArt Chalky Finish – Lace paint, gold pen, flower punches (Woodware), suede twines and ribbon (May Arts).

Pretty Gift Bag – An Inspired Tutorial!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a tutorial for a gift bag. I was inspired to make this after seeing AJ’s Gift Bag ensemble where she layered up gorgeous peach embellishments with a doily die cut. Here is my take on AJ’s project.

Christine Emberson Pretty Gift Bag

Firstly, I adhered patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye – Fancy That!) to my kraft gift bag using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

I attached a flower embellishment (Kaisercraft – Forget Me Not) using 3D Foam Squares Small White.

I continued to layer up embellishments – die cut hearts using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Final additions a flower and a Happy Birthday stamped banner secured with Crafty Power Tape.

Knowing the 3D Foam Squares are so easy to apply makes this a speedy job – brilliant if you have to make more than one gift bag!

Thank you for stopping by today, take a look back through previous blog posts and see what inspires you, happy crafting 🙂
