Mixed Media Dragonflies CHA Ensamble – Part II

Posted on January 25, 2015 by Asia King

“Hello everyone! Asia King here. Thank you for stopping by today to see the second installment of my Mixed Media Dragonflies CHA ensemble. In my first post I shared a Mixed Media Dragonflies Canvas With Adhesive Sheets and today you will see the remaining items – an altered wooden plaque and an altered mobile phone cover.

The Dragonfly Ensemble

The Wood Dragonfly Plaque

The plaque was first decorated with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and printed napkins using a dry decoupage technique and then painted with acrylic paints. I also randomly added some texture paste through a stencil.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King6

Next I built layers and layers of embellishments, buttons, flowers and trinkets adhered together with Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots 3D. To fill my layers and to embellish further I also used Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, 3D Foam Wings and 3D Foam Butterflies. My adhesives served a double purpose, ornamental and as a sticky base for additional elements. Below you can see the layers in their ‘raw’ state.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King1

As you can see I’ve used a variety of found objects, including broken jewellery pieces, an old burnt light bulb and a spring.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King2

Using your 3D Foam Designer Shapes is perfect for this type of a mixed media project. The shapes add a lot of interest and they allow you to fix additional elements in place at the same time. At this stage you don’t even have to worry about matching colours because the next step is to cover everything generously with white gesso. Once the gesso has dried you can colour your piece as desired with ink sprays and paints.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King3

And here is a close up of the detail once the colouring stage is finished, quite a difference isn’t it? 🙂

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King7

I wanted to use the wall plaque as a shelf for the altered mobile phone cover so I added some swirls to the shelf to hold the phone cover in place.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King11

Supplies used for the altered wall plaque:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: Adhesive Sheets 6×12″, Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots 3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, 3D Foam Wings, 3D Foam Butterflies

Other Supplies

DecoArt Americana Metallic Oyster Pearl and Spa Blue acrylic paints,
Prima Color Bloom sprays (Soft Teal, Summer Sky),
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists (Peach Delight, Lemon Zest, Iridescent Gold),
texture paste, white gesso
Tim Holtz Layered Stencil Gothic
PaperArtsy – Bloom stencil
wooden wall candle holder
printed napkins, various embellishments and findings, paper flowers, buttons.

Altered Phone Cover

I had a used mobile phone cover in my stash and I thought it would make a great notepad, perhaps for keeping phone messages or telephone numbers?

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King8

The cover was decorated as before and here you can see the ‘raw’ stage :).

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King4

And here is the close up detail ‘after’ the gesso, inks and paint were applied.

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King9

Here is a little peek inside the cover. I added a small notepad which I fixed in place with Crafty Foam Tape White. Can you see that little Keepsake Envelope? Perfect for keeping some paperclips as bookmarks!

Mixed Media Trio_Asia King10

Supplies used for the altered mobile phone case:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″, Dodz Adhesive Dots Small, Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, Crafty Foam Tape White, Keepsake Envelopes

Other Supplies:

Phone Elements Cling Rubber stamp
Phone cover,
printed napkins,cheese cloth, various embellishments and findings, paper flowers, buttons
Stampendous Boss Gloss, Periwinkle and Aqua embossing powders,

Cupcake Love

Posted on January 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a fun shaped card all ready for your Valentine’s Day sweetie! I used my Silhouette and some of my favorite adhesives to give the card dimension. For the top layer of my cupcake I used liquid applique to give it the look of frosting. I attached all of the layers of frosting to the cupcake using E-Z Squares®. I wanted to add a sequin and rhinestone so I used the Dodz™ Small.

The cupcake liner was scored and attached with Crafty Foam Tape in white. I added a bow, flower, string, and a sticker sentiment using Dodz™ Medium. And for the scattering of sequins, I once again used the Dodz™ Small. They are perfect for small embellishments…no messy glue to deal with!

I hope you have a “Love-ly” weekend! (Get it?) 😉

Supplies:

Crafty Foam Tape White
Dodz™ Medium

E-Z Squares®

Spring Mixed Media Projects with 3D Foam Shapes, Adhesive Sheets and More

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Looking for a spring-inspired mixed media project? Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today to show what I created using several types of adhesives by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Mixing Some Media + Adhesives

As you can see I’m already in the mood for spring. After a long time creating in white, I had so much fun using colors. 🙂

An ensemble was created with spring and Easter themes in mind: an Easter card, a spring canvas, and a notepad. For my background, I used paints and stamps with shimmering accents – thanks to a combination of Adhesive Sheets and E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable, and embossing powder and glitter.

Easter Card

For this card, I used the 3D Foam Easter Shapes and embossing powder and glitter to give a gleaming highlight to each of the little bunny and the basket shapes.

Spring Canvas and Notepad

This is a 20 x 20 cm canvas panel in which I used the 3D Foam Butterflies. On top of them is a mixture of embossing powder, micro pearls, and glitter. I love how the colors came out on them. On the birdcage, I added adhesive from the Adhesive Sheets and added glitter on top.

And I created a matching notepad cover in the same process as the canvas.

It’s just a fun way to use adhesives in the background of projects and customize 3D Foam Shapes as decorative elements. I love them! And now I hope spring will come soon. 😉

Faux Embossed Leather Technique Tutorial – With Love Card

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a technique to create a fabulous faux leather look to use in any of your crafty projects….here’s a card I created from with the look of leather with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®:

Faux Embossed Leather Technique Tutorial - With Love Card by Angela Ploegman

This is a TECHNIQUE ONLY tutorial….it does not cover the steps to make the card….just the steps to create the fabulous embossed leather look.

Here’s what you need to get started:

Faux Embossed Leather Technique Tutorial - With Love Card by Angela Ploegman

Gather your Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″, your favorite thin steel background die, some tissue paper (kraft colored), some ink (medium brown, dark brown and a purple) and a base material that WON’T be cut by the thin steel die (I used grunge paper, but think a heavy chipboard would also work).

1. Cut a 6 x 6″ piece of the grunge paper. Ink all over with the medium brown ink, using a blending tool if necessary to fully cover the base. Apply random patches of purple ink and dark brown ink and blend until you are happy! Let dry or heat set (whatever your ink requires to dry and become permanent).

2. Crumple the tissue paper into a tight ball. Smooth and repeat 2 to 3 additional times to create even texture in the tissue paper.

3. Peel back the yellow protective covering on the Adhesive Sheet – 12 x 12″. Apply the tissue paper to the adhesive. Recover with the yellow protective layer, flip over and burnish the tissue paper to transfer the adhesive.

angela ploegman faux embossed leather technique 5

4. Peel back the tissue paper, ensuring the adhesive has transferred (if there are any areas with poor transfer, simply return the tissue paper to the adhesive sheet and burnish some more!). Place the inked base colored side up on the white backing and replace the tissue paper, adhesive side down on the colored base.

5. Burnish from the tissue paper side and tear the excess tissue paper away from the edges of the base. Repeat the inking procedure in step #1 (including the dry/heat set part) on the tissue paper.

angela ploegman faux embossed leather technique 8

6. Place the faux leather onto your base plate and place your thin steel background die face down on the faux leather.

angela ploegman faux embossed leather technique 9

7. Complete the die cutting sandwich as required by your machine and run through the machine (if you skip the embossing step, run the base through your machine replacing the die with a piece of chipboard to help seal the tissue paper securely to the base).

8. Ink the raised edge with some additional dark brown ink and let dry or heat set, as required.

Here’s a close up of the final project using the embossed faux leather:

And YOU’RE DONE! Easy and elegant technique, I think! I used a version of the same technique (minus the embossing) on all of my CHA projects this year – a card, a cuff and a gift box….

Denim Friendship Book Cover Tutorial

Posted on January 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Using an Art Journal, I created a Friendship Book Cover.

I used a wide lace ribbon one as a left border and to decorate the metal rings.

To give “lift” to the pre-made flowers, I used Adhesive Dots 3D on each.

Then I cut/embossed a die with ivory cardstock. To adhere, I used Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6″.

I stamped a beautiful sentiment onto the ivory cardstock first. Then I placed a die over it to cut/emboss. To give it dimension, I placed 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular and centered it on the larger die cut.

Add sequins with Adhesive Dots Small to add more sparkle, tie bits of lace trim to rings and it’s good to go! Another look at the finished cover 🙂

Love is in the Air!

Posted on January 16, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a lovey dovey card for you! I guess with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I’ve got love on the brain! It could also serve as a pretty anniversary or wedding card too! I had all of these lace ribbons and knew I wanted to incorporate them here. And since straws seem to be such a big thing right now, I decided they would work perfectly for my card!

I can’t seem to get enough of these 3D Foam Hearts either. Just peel the backing and sprinkle with glitter. I covered the large heart with a bright pink glitter for a bit of punch to the card. Layers of lace, string, sequins, and a sentiment were added for a finishing touch.

Want to creep into my brain and see my creative process for this card? Grab yourself some 3D Foam Hearts.….. 01208 3D Foam Hearts

….and dump your choice of sparkly glitter on top.

Then take out a package of Adhesive Sheets and adhere it to a piece of cream cardstock.

Lay the straws on top of the adhesive/card stock and snip the ends of the straws with scissors.

Once completed I added some of the pretty lace to the edge with DODZ™ Medium.

Layer wide lace vertically and place the large pink heart on top with DODZ™ Medium.

I added the smaller gold heart and then added my string and epoxy dot to the center using Dodz™ Small.

Since you know I like lumpy bumpy cards, I had to adhere the piece above to my card using 3D Foam Squares.

Here is a final look at my card. 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great Friday!

Mixed Media Dragonflies With Adhesive Sheets – Part I

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here and today I am sharing a project I created for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®’s booth at this year’s CHA, Mixed Media Dragonflies. My ensemble has got quite a lot going on so I will be sharing it in two parts. Today is the first one and for the next installment please pop back on January 28th :).

Mixed Media Dragonflies with Adhesive Sheets by Asia King for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Dragonflies Canvas

This project is a new take on the dry decoupage technique I shared in my mixed media altered vanity box back in May last year. I used my favourite dragonflies printed napkins – they have such a happy design and colour palette, don’t you think?

Mixed media dragonflies_Asia King 2

After adhering the napkin to the canvas with Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″, I dry brushed some white gesso over the design to tone the colours down a bit. Then I created lots of different textures. I’m using Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares, 3D Foam Squares , 3D Foam Pennants and about a million of buttons, random found objects and different metal, resin and fabric embellishments.

Mixed media dragonflies_Asia King 4

Once everything was secured in place with my trusty Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots 3D I covered all elements with a generous dollop of white gesso and heat set it with my heat gun. Then I just played around with ink sprays and paints to add colour and shimmer. I also added some heat embossing with coordinating embossing powders for more texture.

Mixed media dragonflies_Asia King 3

To complete the canvas I added some stamped journaling quotes mounted over Crafty Foam Tape White and some more detailing with Liquid Pearls.
