An Inspired Happy Birthday Card

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hello friends! It’s Beth and I have been inspired by one of AJ Otto’s cards. AJ has a way of creating in a clean and fresh style. Sometimes I find myself over-thinking, so I decided to follow along her Hello Card tutorial.

Happy Birthday Card by Beth Pingry

I didn’t create another tutorial myself, but I did make some adjustments. I used a paper collection, and instead of layering a circle die cut and tag, I used an image and patterned papers, then layered a vellum tag die cut onto it. I inked the edges and wrapped it with twine tied to the vellum. I layered with 3D Foam Squares.

I die cut the vellum with Adhesive Sheets, they’re great for edge to edge coverage especially on see-through vellum! I also used Adhesive Sheets for the Happy Birthday die cut.

This was a fast and fun way to create, and I love that AJ did the hard part! Thanks AJ, you’re the best!

You’re a Gem Card using Crafty Power Tape to Create a Background

Posted on May 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here with card I copied myself on. 🙂 One of my favorite things to do is to create my own background, and it’s so incredibly easy with Crafty Power Tape!

You're a Gem card by AJ Otto You can see my Gold Foil card that I use as an inspiration starting point. Basic same idea, with a few less stripes, and whole lot more open space.

To start, lay your Crafty Power Tape down, butting each piece up to the next.

Remove the backing, and press down your product of choice- glitter, foil, here I am using Zoom Creative Sheets. I then want to add another stripe going across in a different direction. I then stamped my image and sentiment, and am popping it up with 3D Foam Squares.Here’s an angled shot where you can see the Wink of Stella Glitter, I just love how it adds just the right amount of sparkle!

enjoy!
AJ

Elegant and Simple 50th Anniversary Card Tutorial

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

It is wedding season which also means that anniversaries are coming up! I was asked to create a 50th wedding anniversary card – what an honor! I’d like to share how I created this beautiful 50th wedding anniversary card – so simple! PROMISE!

Elegant and Simple 50th Anniversary Card by Margie Higuchi

First I cut/embossed the frame die set with a combination of white cardstock and gold mirror cardstock. I embossed the largest die cut to create texture and interest.

I found another oval die that fit perfectly into the oval space and a landing area for the butterfly. The layers that are mentioned so far were adhered by E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips onto the white card base.

After cutting/embossing the butterfly die, I applied DODZ™ Medium to its center and placed it on the card front. Are you familiar with our Dodz™ products? It is a double-sided, clear adhesive easy to use. They have a strong bond making them perfect for intricate objects like this butterfly die cut. Love their single dot dispenser – no fighting the stickness! LOL!

I gently bent the butterfly’s wings for dimension and added a pearl in the center. It’s ready to given…another look.

Supplies List:

Dies: Spellbinders® Creative Arts (EG-001 Graduated Dots Embossing Folder (retired), S2-069 Outrageous Butterfly, S5-230 Romantic Rose and S6-012 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace); Cardstock and Card Base: Darice/Core’dinations ColorCore® Cardstock (white cardstock and card base) and WorldWin® Papers (Gold Mirror Paper); Pearl: Want2Scrap©

Elegant and simple to re-create. I hope you give a try! If you are looking for more wedding themed project, visit Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Wedding Projects.

Any Occasion Card

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa on the blog today and I thought it would be fun to share a card that could be used for so many upcoming occasions. Grads, Dads, Congrats, or just Thinking of You.

LisaAdametz-YouMeanTheWorldToMe-1

Cute, huh? And super easy, too!

Just cut a piece of white cardstock into 4¼ x 5½ (A2 sized) and score it on the horizontal – the long- edge to start.

1. Die cut the Globe twice using two different colors of cardstock. Punch a circle out of typing paper. Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable completely coat the typing paper with adhesive and lay the pieces of the Globe die cut over it. This will help the tiny pieces fit and adhere.

2. Die cut the Globe “holder” out of black cardstock. Place 3D Foam Squares in Black Mix and adhere the Globe on top.

3. Stamp sentiment in black pigment ink, emboss using clear embossing powder. Cut strips of cardstock into ¼” strips. Draw light pencil line from edge to edge on a diagonal. Cover open area with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips. Lay strips of cardstock over adhesive. Burnish to ensure hold. Trim from back.

4. Die cut red heart. Place one Thin 3D Foam Square, Mix White on the back and adhere to Globe.

5. Apply E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive to the back of the completed Globe and adhere to card front. Coat heart with a high gloss medium.

6. Wrap baker’s twine around card twice and tie in bow. To secure, place Dodz™ Medium on tip of scissors and slide under knot. Press down.

Notebook with Keepsake Envelope – inspired by Flo Teixeira

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

Stephanie here today to show you a cute little Note Book with a Keepsake Envelope on the cover.

I used a great tutorial for a Mini Album from Flo Teixeira she made for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® two years ago. It’s such a great idea and so beautiful as a little gift. I’m a big fan of Flo’s work, it’s always lovely and soft.

I followed her instruction to create this tiny little book. All the steps are very clear and easy. I also used the E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere it all together. But I gave my book a Keepsake Envelope for a gift voucher instead of a pocket in front of the cover.

Above the envelope I used a sticker where I can add the name of this gift.

Inside my book you can find some patterned paper and also white and checked paper.

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 🙂

Boys Birthday Cards

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here.

I teach grade one and one of the special things I like to do is create a hand made birthday card for my students. Well the other day I realized I needed to build up my stash again so I created a couple of boy themed cards.

First I gathered my supplies and was quite happy to be able to create a couple of cards using mostly scraps!

I decided wanted to highlight the age for my students at this time of year and they will be turning 7 so I cut a large 7 from some of the pattern paper and mounted it with the 3D Foam Squares – and easy way to add some dimension to the project.

Once again, I highlighted the age and this time I adhered my pieces using the E-Z Dots Repositionable dots – although I like my projects to look like my layers just haphazardly were placed, I like to move them around until I am happy with them. I generally add some stitching to my projects as I like the added interest of the stitching.

Products Used:

3D Foam Squares White Regular

E-Z Dots® Repositionable Adhesive

Other products used:

Pattern Paper & tags: Elle’s Studio (Cameron Collection)

Dies: My Favorite Things

Twine: The Twinery

Father’s Day Card Featuring Adhesive Sheets and FOIL!

Posted on May 21, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a Father’s Day Card featuring Adhesive Sheets – 12 x 12″ and foil! This card was inspired by the supremely talented Christine Emberson’s post found HERE….in her original post Christine die cut 3D Foam Creative Sheets to create a two tone look using glitter. I wanted to recreate the two tone effect in a two dimensional format. With Adhesive Sheets, a stencil and gold/copper leafing material that I could! Here’s a close up of the card I created using the technique:
Father's Day Card Featuring Adhesive Sheets and FOIL! by Angela Ploegman

First start by applying the Adhesive Sheet to a non textured sheet of card stock. Peel back the protective cover and apply the stencil with moderate pressure. Next applyd the copper leaf through the stencil and remove the excess. Now remove the stencil (which was unexpectedly EASY to do) and apply the gold leaf to the remaining exposed adhesive. The pennant and the heart are stacked and adhered using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. Here’s a full view of the finished project:
