Mother’s Day Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Die cutting

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a quick and easy Mother’s Day Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets I made.

You only need a piece of cardboard (I used a piece of an old packing box), 3D Foam Creative Sheets, your Die Cutting Machine and one or two flower Dies, a wood veneer and baker twine.

First choose a Die with flowers and use your Die cutting machine to cut them out with 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

I used the black and white 3D Foam Creative Sheet to got these two flowers. I made two flowers in different sizes to use them one above the other.

Then emboss the flowers with beige embossing powder or another color you like and adhere them on your cardstock one above the other. I added a bit of white Gesso on my cardstock to give the background a shabby look. I also rounded the edges of my card.

Use your E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere the wood veneer on the top of the flowers.

Color the wood veneer with red watercolor pens.

Punch two holes on top of the cardboard.

Tie a loop with twine. And that’s it. You are ready.

It was quick and easy card and I like the simplicity of it.

Have fun with the Mothers Day preparation and have a good day!

Stephanie

Card with Creative Photo Corners

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hello! Christine here today with a simple-to-make card that looks very effective with Creative Photo Corners.

The base of my card is kraft and that matches perfectly with Creative Photo Corners – Kraft. I matted jade colored cardstock using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive. Before I matted the patterned paper I added the photo corners.

I then printed the sentiment and cut to a banner shape. Both the fan die cut and banner have been adhered with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small – always good to have that extra dimension.

Thank you for joining me today, remember to stop by the blog regularly to see lots of creativity with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

3D Foam Happy Easter Card Tutorial

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Today I am excited to be featuring Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adorable 3D Foam Easter Shapes set, 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular, Pigment Powder – Brown and Pink, Adhesives Sheets – 4 x 6″ and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable adhesive to create this sweet Happy Easter card.

3D Foam Happy Easter Card by Margie Higuchi

With the 3D Foam Easter Shapes set, I took off the liner from the Bunny shape and brushed lightly the Pigment Powder – Pink on the sticky surface. Love the shimmer and light color it gave the shape.

Then I repeated the same process with the “Happy Easter” sentiment with Pigment Powder – Brown.

After creating an A2 (4¼ x 5½”) size card base out of patterned paper, I started working on the card panel by using A2 Filigree Delight die set. I used the Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″ sheet for the Frame die cut and for the Oval die cut, I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable adhesive.

To highlight the Bunny shape, I used the Tag die cut to frame the shape and used 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular to make it pop.

Assemble all the pieces and add “Happy Easter” to the card. Finished the card with two brown gems and it’s ready to send! Here’s another look…

Baked With Love Card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Last week I was a baking fool, getting ready to visit my boys in college. I grabbed a cookie and my crafting supplies and got busy! I wish I could keep baked goods in the house all the time!

Baked with Love Card by Beth Pingry

Stamping the Baked Treats

I stamped the images twice, once onto white cardstock, then patterned paper. Next, I added Adhesive Sheets to the top of the white cardstock.Then I fussy cut all the stamped pieces. I layered the patterned shaped pieces onto the white cardstock pieces.

There are 2 spots on the serving dish without patterned paper; instead I covered the exposed adhesive with glitter.

BethPingry-BakedwithLoveCard2

To create a surface for the platter to ground it, I masked off the white cardstock with scrap paper and applied chalk with a stylus and foam tip. Using E-Z Dots Repositionable will hold the cardstock in place while chalking. Now it’s not floating in the center of the card.

Assembling the Layers and Creative Photo Corners

Next I stamped the sentiment, and assembled the card using Creative Photo Corners. I like to double up the Creative Photo Corners when I do layers, I feel like it creates a bit of a frame for the focal point. Here I used White and Kraft Corners, alternating the color of the corner with the color of the layer. White Corner on kraft paper, Kraft Corner on white paper.

You don’t need to use adhesive between the layers here, the Creative Photo Corners will hold securely. However, since my cards get a lot of handling, I usually add E-Z Squares® between the layers and to secure the card base.

Sweet!

Thanks for visiting today!

Hello card using Adhesive Sheets for intricate die cuts

Posted on March 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here sharing how I use the Adhesive Sheets with my dies for quick and easy adhesive die cuts!

Sometimes your die cuts are so small and thin getting your adhesive on them and not every where else is such a pain. When you start with the Adhesive Sheets, it’s only on your die cut and no mess elsewhere. And they come in 3 sizes, 4X6, 6 X 12, & 12 X 12.

To get started with the Adhesive Sheets, (here I am using the 6 X 12 size) peel back the yellow baking and adhered your card stock down to the sticky side. Lay the yellow backing back over the card stock and gently burnish the adhesive to your card stock.Because I want the backside of my dies sticky, I am placing my dies onto the yellow side, ensuring that when I pop them out, the backside will be covered with adhesive. (If you are wanting the front to be covered with adhesive, you would cut from the other side)Pop your dies out of the sheet, and they should easily come out of the die as well, peel the backing off and adhere to your card. I adhered mine to my green tag.
I then place a few 3D Foam Squares onto my tag, and secure it to my card.

Have you tried the Adhesive Sheets yet? love them!!

enjoy, AJ

Roses Of Friendship With Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone, Asia King here. Today I am sharing a friendship card, which I had lots of fun with. The inspiration for my card came while looking through some old photos of my auntie’s cottage garden. She has a lovely patch with a beautiful rose bush climbing over a wooden trellis. I’ve always loved sitting there, enjoying the sweet scent and delicate rustic blooms so I thought it would be fun to create a small rose trellis on my card.

Roses of friendship_Asia King1

I began by covering a piece of golden sand cardstock on both sides with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″. Next I peeled off the protective sheet from one of the sides and covered the card fully with Gilded Mica Fragments. Once I’ve rubbed off any excess flakes, I run the panel through my die cutting machine with the Grateful Lattice die. This became my trellis frame (I’ve kept the die cut Lattice pieces for another project). Because the frame already had the adhesive, it was really quick and easy to fix it in place on a red mat card.

Next I stamped Wild Roses collage stamp onto the Shuttered cardstock, covered the back with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and die cut it with the Grateful Lattice die. This time I used the Lattice shapes to ‘fill the gaps’ in the trellis frame (and kept the rest for another project).

Finally, I stamped the Wild Roses again onto watercolour paper and coloured them in with Inktense pencils. I again covered the back with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″ and fussy cut the roses. I then decided to snip the stems off and adhere them straight onto the card and I popped the blooms onto some Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White.

To assemble the rest of my layers I used Home & Hobby E-Z Runner® Grand – Permanent Strips (available soon!) and for my embellishments I used DODZ 3D. I finished the card with pearls, seam binding ribbon and decorative pins. I also cut out some words from an old acetate packaging (for Prima flowers) and fixed them in place with Adhesive Sheets 6×12″. Adhesive Sheets are perfect for transparencies because they are ‘invisible’ due to their full and even coverage – seriously, I just love this stuff! 🙂

Lucky Shamrock Card Tutorial

Posted on March 13, 2015 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone…or should I say “Top O’ the Mornin” to you? St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and I’m seeing green!

I created this dimensional Lucky card with lots of Foam Products.

After I cut out my shamrock shape with my Brother ScanNCut machine, I matted it onto another piece of green cardstock using my Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares.

I placed 4 medium sized 3D Foam Hearts into each of the shamrock leaves and added green glitter. I love the sparkle!

Then I used my E-Z Runner™ Permanents Strips to adhere this layer to my card base. The dispensers are interchangeable, so I put a red E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips into my blue E-Z Dots™ Permanent dispenser.

I also cut out the “Lucky” sentiment with my ScanNCut and used the small 3D Foam Squares to pop it up.

Add a bit of twine, and the card is done! With my leftovers, I quickly made another card.

Now I just have to figure out who is lucky enough to receive these cards!

May all your rainbows have a pot of gold! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy Anniversary Shaker Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here with you to share how I created my shaker card today. And I will admit…this was my very first shaker card. But, having the right adhesives makes it so much easier!

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-1

Not bad for my first shaker card, huh? 😀 I’ll be sending this to my parents. Their anniversary is this weekend. ♥

I’ll be honest. I looked up a LOT of tutorials before making this. But the only one that was any help was one that I found on YouTube by Kimberly Crawford and she actually USES the 3D Foam Creative Sheets, too! (The girl was in my brain, I tell ya.) Between her video and my tutorial I hope that this will get the job done. 🙂

1. Create card base (mine is A2 sized and scored on the horizontal edge). Add patterned paper 1/8″ smaller and adhere with E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable.

2. With dies that nest (fit within each other to create a frame) die-cut the following: 1 frame out of black cardstock and 2- frames out of 3D Foam Creative Sheets, black. Then using only the large piece of the two dies used to make the frame, die-cut the following: 1 piece out of patterned paper and 1 piece out of acetate.

That will create 3 frames (one cardstock and 2 out of 3D Foam Creative Sheets) and 2 solid pieces (one patterned paper and one acetate).

3. & 4. To build the shaker I found it easiest to build from front to back. So, I started with the black cardstock frame, then the 1st 3D Foam Creative Sheet Frame, then the acetate, the 2nd 3D Foam Creative Sheet Frame, NOW the embellishments (being careful not to add to many – less is more…and FLAT is best), and then finally the back of the frame (which is the patterned paper).

Be sure to stamp the patterned paper prior to building the shaker if you have a sentiment within your shaker.

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-2

I placed a TON of 3D Foam Squares in black on the back of the shaker piece and will adhere towards the end.

5. Cut two lengths of organza – approximately 12 – 14″ in length.

6. Using an embossing gun, melt the ribbon. Be extremely careful as the ribbon gets VERY hot! (This trick doesn’t work with all ribbon types.)

7. Holding the end of the ribbon in a pair of tweezers, wrap into a rose shape. Secure with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

8. Apply Whipped Spackle over card front through a stencil. Once dry, wrap black satin ribbon around card and tie in bow. Secure bow with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. Once the bow is secure then the shaker piece can be added by removing the backer pieces off of the 3D Foam Squares, Black, and any additional embellishments can be added.

LisaAdametz-HappyAnniv-Shaker-4

I hope that you enjoyed my first foray into shaker-card-land. And that my tutorial made some sense. The key is knowing how many pieces to cut and of what! I think that if you were using a simple shape like a circle it would be way easier. Also be aware that using a die-cutting machine WILL flatten your 3-D Foam Creative Sheets. So, if you have enough on hand you may want to cut a few extra. 🙂

Purple and Gold…

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hi! Michele here with a tutorial on how I created my card today. I have been loving my water colors so much, that lately that seems to be the medium I turn to most! With the addition of a few of my favorite adhesives, a bit of glitter, texture paste, and flowers, I have a card all ready for spring! Purple Flowers by Michele Kovack

I had these flower stickers in my stash and wondered if I could color them. (Because I have literally water colored everything in sight lately!) Well, the answer to that is a resounding YES!

I water colored a background and then cut my flowers in half. Crazy I know! But this weirdo brain of mine had a plan! 😉

But first, I wanted to break up the purple a bit, so I pulled out a circle stencil and swiped some texture paste over it.

While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled some bronze glitter, wiped the edges a bit, and set it aside to dry.

Once dry, I wanted to adhere my cut flowers and create a trim for the bottom of my water colored/glittered panel using those 1/2 cut flowers.

I adhered them using my Dodz™

I tied various shades of purple ribbon and adhered those with my Dodz™ as well.

The water color panel was adhered to a piece of white card stock using my E-Z Squares®

Then that panel and an additional white panel were adhered to the white card stock using my Crafty Foam Tape. I wanted the card to look a bit like framed artwork.

Here is one last look at my finished project.

I hope my card brought a bright spot to your day! 🙂

I’m Seeing STARS – Vegas Scrapbook Page

Posted on March 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here with a fun scrapbook page featuring 4 x 4 photos from my recent trip to Las Vegas:

I'm Seeing STARS - Vegas Scrapbook Page by Angela Ploegman

I used stars to create the circles of stars in the background. The white stars were covered with glittered embossing powder, the gold stars were covered with gold pigment powder and the red stars were covered with a red glitter. The 3D Foam Stars were also covered with red glitter.

I reinforce all chipboard alphabets with Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″. It saves me the frustration of having to reattach my letters after the pages are loaded into my albums. Here’s a close up of the title work:
