“Magic” Accordion Fold Mini Album – Ready for Photos!

Posted on February 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello all! It’s Angela today sharing a accordion fold style mini album that I made in advance of our family’s upcoming Disney cruise.

"Magic" Accordion Fold Mini Album by Angela Ploegman

This album is completely pre-made, ready for my photos to be added. I haven’t done anything with our Disneyland pictures from several years ago. Maybe having a ready made album might help ensure the timely documentation of our family vacation.

All of the self-adhesive chipboard in the album was reinforced with the Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″. I find for projects that will be handled often (especially by little hands) that this extra step ensures all the pieces stay in their correct places!

The album is held together (i.e. the accordion folds are fastened) with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable. Spots for the photos are identified by the Creative Photo Corners – Black. Here are a couple of examples of the inside pages. Some of the embellishments were popped up with the 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

Now that the album’s all done, I can hardly wait for the trip!

Thanks for stopping by today!

3D Foam Key To My Heart Canvas Tutorial

Posted on February 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day! Just for the occasion I wanted to use my stash of 3D Foam Hearts and to create a sweet and fun canvas piece!

Key To My Heart Canvas by Margie Higuchi

On a prepped canvas (covered with Gesso), I hand drew a heart with pencil. You can also find a heart shape on the internet and print a template.

To figure out how to place all my 3D Foam Hearts, I took off the liners from the hearts and used them to determine the place with the help of Spellbinders® Tool ‘n One™ tool.

Next I adhered all the shapes with the exception of the Key (leave space for it) and covered all with Gesso.

To make the Key stand out, I colored with Silver Ice Gelatos® stick. Don’t be afraid to layer on more than one coat of color. Set aside to work on the canvas background.

For the background, I colored with a combination of Bubble Gum, Double Scoop, and Red Cherry Gelatos® Double Scoop® colors to achieve the look I wanted. A subtle outline of the heart was created with Black Licorice Gelatos® and Stamper’s Big White Pen, rubbing the colors for a softer look.

After I added the Key, I outlined the heart with an Artist Pen Black.

Using a piece of burlap ribbon from the burlap set as a stamp, I dipped into Gesso and pressed in different areas of the canvas to create a background texture. Then I layered another color, Chalkboard Paint, on top of the Gesso design.

The sentiment was handwritten with black pen on the white canvas ribbon, cut into pieces and placed on the canvas, using Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6″. The words were outlined with the same pen and highlighted with a White Pen.

To finish, I outlined the edges of the canvas with the pen. Here’s another look at the canvas.

Fancy Pants Designs Day 5 – True Friend Valentine Card

Posted on January 30, 2015 by Kelly Klapstein

Welcome to the Fancy Pants Designs Feature Week!

Make sure you visit every day this week to see the designers use Fancy Pants Designs product along with Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L®. At the end of the week we will be giving away a great adhesive package, so be sure to leave a comment in the Raffle Copter.

Hello everyone! It’s Kelly here on the final day of our week featuring Fancy Pants Designs. I think I came across one of the best paper collections to make Valentines: Fancy Pants Designs “True Friend.”

Not too mushy, not too feminine, and suitable for all ages! And to make things even easier, this collection has packages of ‘Brag Cards’ and Ephemera (die cuts) along with a wonderful mix of solid color and patterned papers.

With the right adhesives, my Valentine card came together really quickly!

I started by layering two sizes of Brag Cards with my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. Can you see in the photo below that my dispenser is blue E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable and the inside is red? That is because all of the Refillable adhesive runners are interchangeable…and you can see through the clear plastic to see which one is inside!

Then my Crafty Foam Tape came out to pop up the sentiment die-cut.

I adhered ribbon to my card with Crafty Power Tape, which works awesome with ribbon.

Because it’s a Valentine card, I had to add a 3D Foam Heart with red glitter.

I hope you have enjoyed our week with Fancy Pants Designs! Don’t forget to enter to win a prize package below!

ADHESIVES: E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable, Crafty Foam Tape, Crafty Power Tape, 3D Foam Hearts,

Fancy Pants Designs Day 4- Card Trio

Posted on January 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Welcome to the Fancy Pants Designs Feature Week!

AJ here on day four of Fancy Pants Designs week- Today I am sharing a trio of cards I created using the True Friend line. What I love about getting collections is how easy it is to create coordinating projects- whether it’s for a party, layouts, or just to have a few cards. You can always pull together a few cards quickly using all the adorable items from ephemera pack.

This first card I simply adhered the Besties paper to my card base. I popped up the cute owl die cut with a 3D Foam Square, paired with a sticker, (also popped up with a 3D foam square) from the Sticker Fundamentals page.

I just love how cute this little hedgehog is!

I adhered the Good Times paper onto my card base with Crafty Foam Tape.

Secure the hello sticker to a piece of card stock, then adhere it to the backside of the tag with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable .

I adhered the tag die cut with 3D Foam Squares to my card, then popped the Hedgehog on with 3D Foam Squares also.

Lastly, I made a cute little note card again using the Ephemera pack, Little Things paper, and the letter stickers from the Sticker Fundamentals page. I finished it off with some black twine. The cute little critter is popped up with 3D Foam Squares.

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

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!

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
