Library Card Gift Card Holder

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Latisha Yoast

Hello there, Latisha here with you today with a fun way to transform your stash of library card/pocket journaling cards, into a way to give a gift card or money!

Library Card Gift Card Holder by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Most library cards that come from a Scrapbook company, usually will have a nice pretty pattern to the front of the pocket holder. If not, you can always add pattern paper or stamp onto the holder to decorate it a bit. The card I am using today, came in a beautiful blue pattern, so it made for a great base to start with.

If you want to make something similar, like a photo pocket of sorts. Here is a tutorial I did on how to create your own pocket with just pattern paper and adhesive.

1. First I trimmed some pattern paper to the side I wanted, and adhered it to the front of my library card using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable runner.

2. Using black ink, stamp a Happy Birthday sentiment onto the top of the library card insert.

3. Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable runner again, adhere the paper doily onto the front, then trimming off the excess. Adhere the pink striped pattern paper down as well.

4. Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (small, white), adhere the flair down. Not only will this adhere your flair down, but give the projects some needed depth.

5. For a little more contrast and depth, not to mention more pretty. I added some pink buttons using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small. These are super strong, and will keep these buttons down permanently.

Now your project is ready to write a sweet message, and there is room for a gift card or money. You can either put this in an envelope, attach it to a bottle of wine using ribbon, place it in a bouquet of flowers. Really the sky is the limit on how to present this gift!

Mom’s Day Card – Inspired by Michele Kovack

Posted on May 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Happy Monday, sweet crafty friends. Lisa here with you today. I hope those of you who are moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day. I am not one, except for my beautiful kitties. That counts, right? 🙂 And I don’t live in the same state as my mom so I made her a Mom’s Day card below.

Mom’s Day Card Inspiration Point

When I was planning out my card, I found myself thinking about this beautiful You’re Special Shaker Card by Michele Kovack. I absolutely love Michele’s gorgeous, feminine style.

I did many things the same way that Michele did, but I always follow my own flow. What my own creative, crazy brain tells me to do. 🙂

Mom’s Day Card Basics

I created my A2 card base with the fold on the vertical. And, using a die, I created my card front out of patterned paper. Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable I adhered the card front to the card base.

Then, like Michele, I used a few dies to create my flowers out of felt. To hold the flowers securely together I used the Adhesive Dots 3D.

Shaker Feature

Then I broke out the Keepsake Envelopes. Which just make THE best and easiest shaker cards ever! I chose to use a long, skinny rectangular envelope which is perfect for the shape & the size of my card. Then I just filled it with pretty sequins.

Mom's Day Card by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once I had the envelope filled and the flap sealed (there’s adhesive on the front flap and all over the back to make it transparent), I secured it in place to my card. I then used Adhesive Dots 3D and Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere and secure the flowers and leaves where I wanted them.

First, I die cut a piece of cardstock using a Doily die and cut it in half. And then stamped the word “Mom” on the center in dark blue ink. Then using E-Z Dots® Permanent I covered the backside of what I had cut and stamped. I like using the E-Z Dots® for fine details such as the Doily die since they are initially removable with a swipe of a finger before creating a permanent bond. Perfect for intricate dies!

Finishing Touches

The only thing extra that I did (after I tried to make the gorgeous bows like Michele did and failed desperately) added a little bit of ribbon to my card front. I adhered this down using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive. This adhesive for the ribbon since it’s so perfect for vellum. It’s a great adhesive.

I love how the card turned out and I’m so grateful to Michele for her beautiful inspiration. We have a wonderfully talented team here on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Make a Wish Card-Drawing Inspiration from Asia King!

Posted on May 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Happy Mother’s Day to you! Michele here with a card that would work perfectly for Mother’s Day or even a graduation! Since they seem to be quite abundant in the month of May! I found this gorgeous Mr. and Mrs Wedding card from Asia King and knew I wanted to create the dimension and layers of flowers that she had. Somehow mine took a slightly different direction, but I guess it was meant to inspire….not copy! LOL!

I used this pretty fairy image instead of the bride and groom she had used. It was doused in glitter and nestled in the flowers and ribbons, just like she had done with her card.

Here is a breakdown of how I created my layers. 🙂

Notice I used the Creative Photo Corners in White? Asia had done that with her card as well. I wanted to give them a bit of sparkle, so I added a bit of glitter.

The best way to achieve dimension? Use Crafty Foam Tape! This is definitely something I use in almost every single card I made.

I wanted a little matte of black behind my card so I used the E-Z Runner® to adhere it. For many of the flowers and to keep the sentiment in place, I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to keep it all where it should be.

And here is one last look at my finished card. 🙂

Have a wonderful day!

Supplies:

Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium
E-Z Runner®

2 – I peeled of the protective layer of one of the feathers and added different colors of embossing powders on it.

3 – After melting these with my heater I stamped with a script stamp and Stazon ink on it.

4 – I added a bit Modelling paste on the edges.

5 – And I added some gold pearls to the wet paste.

6 – Then I prepared my background for the gift tag while I adhered some paper scraps on a piece of mixed media sheet. I used my favorite adhesive, E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

7 – I sprayed some colors of Mist on the background.

8 – And I added another layer of white Gesso on some areas.

9 – After drying all the paint I used the Bookplates & Tag dies to cut out my tag.

10 – I found a motive of a bottle in a magazine and used it to decorate my tag. I adhered the bottle with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

11 – The feather I putted in the bottle and I also added a Diecut word from Handwritten love set with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

12 – My last decoration element was a little butterfly I found in a magazine and I adhered it with a 3D Foam Square White Regular.

Mixed Media Mother's Day Tag

It is an unusual Mother’s Day tag and therefor I love it. 🙂

Are you prepared for Mother’s Day? I wish all mothers a beautiful day with a lot of fun fun and love!

Let’s Stay Home Altered Art

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. One thing I love to do is upcycle old thrift store/garage sale finds. Well I picked up a bunch of these old painted wooden squares and my dad sanded them for me. I have many projects in mind. Today I have a quick and easy one for you. Anyone who knows me, knows that this journal card is so me 🙂

After trimming the paper to size, I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable to adhere them together.

I then used some of the amazing Crafty Power Tape – (believe me this stuff is sticky!) to adhere to the wooden block.

Now how is that for easy peesy?! The whole thing took about 10 minutes and is a nice decorative piece on my computer desk.

Easy Steps to Create 3D Foam Pennant Mother’s Day Card

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d share a card to celebrate her using 3D Foam Pennants as an accent and how I embossed them with a folder and embellished them with pigment powder!

3D Foam Pennant Mother's Day Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
First I embellished the 3D Foam Pennants with an embossing folder for design and dimension. I used waxed paper to place them (with the top liner on) in the folder embossing in my manual die cutting machine.

Then I cut/embossed die templates to create my card panel and a die cut to create a center focal point.

Going back to the 3D Foam Pennants, I used pink pigment powder to color each pennant. You only need a little bit of the powder (I used the powder that was stuck in the lid). I love how it shimmers – not sure if you can see it through the image but it is beautiful!

I adhered the pennant on the upper left corner after I adhered the card panel with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips. Lastly, I adhered the circular die cut in the center.

Using the Adhesive Dots Medium, the flowers were secured on top of the die cut in a cluster.

To accent the flower cluster, I sprinkled white glitter on top of two swirls (you can die cut from 3D Foam Creative Sheets) and tucked them underneath the flowers 🙂

Next I stamped a sentiment onto patterned paper, handcut a ribbon trail banner and secured it with 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular for dimension. For a finishing touch, four small pearls were added on the 3D Foam Pennants.
