3D Foam Christmas Tags

Posted on December 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone…and Merry Christmas…less than two weeks away! It’s Kelly here today to share some fun tags you can make using a package of 3D Foam Christmas Shapes and Crafty Power Tape.

There are so many cute Christmas shapes in this package, and you get two sheets….so I can make many more tags. Did you know that Crafty Power Tape comes in both a roll and this handy red dispenser? My Crafty Power Tape dispenser matches my Christmas projects!

I cut my own tags from Bazzill cardstock. After punching the edges of the bottoms of my tags, I added a couple of strips of Crafty Power Tape and traditional Christmas colours of red and green glitter.

Then I took out my package of 3D Foam Christmas Shapes, along with more glitter and flocking. There are so many different ways to alter your 3D Foam Shapes!

TIP: Remember to remove only the backing of the pieces you are working with, when you apply different colours of products close together. Tweezers can be helpful for this!

Now it’s time to finish my Christmas shopping and get wrapping so these tags can be used!

Happy Crafting!

Photo Corner Gift Tag

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello there, it’s Latisha. So, a few weeks ago or so, I received my Design Team box, and included in the box was a ton, and I mean a ton of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Gold Creative Photo Corners. I really couldn’t believe my eyes, and seriously wondered what I could possible do with them. Well folks, I layered the gold Photo Corners onto a tag, and I have to say, I’m really digging the results.

Photo Corner Gift Tag by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, die cut a tag using scrap paper (because it was going to be covered). Then starting at the bottom of the tag, make layers in a straight line using the Gold Creative Photo Corners. Continue until the tag is completely covered, then trim around the tag using super sharp scissors. To embellish the tag I used flair along with some buttons, an adhered them using 3D Foam Squares.

I’ll be attaching this to a mason jar. You can fill the jar with some kraft filler and then add the candy canes to pop out of the top of the jar.

Attach the tag to the jar by simply wrapping the ribbon around the jar, bringing the tails through the hole of the tag, and tying a bow. I plan on putting this out on a coffee table, or even my island counter as a fun Christmas decoration.

Embellished Watercolor Holiday Card

Posted on December 11, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hello my sweet, crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today and I’m bringing you a really simple holiday card that I made and had a great time creating. This one is all about just letting the creative process flow and using your Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products to highlight your finished card.

LisaAdametz-BeautyWatercolor-1

I created my little panel to hopefully resemble the Aurora Borealis using the watercolors (does it look like it to you?). Once it was all finished I stamped a sentiment from Penny Black on another watercolor panel and added a little more of the watercolors around the sentiment and the on the edges.

Using the 3D Foam Square in Black, Regular I attached my watercolor panel to the panel with the sentiment. Then I cut a small strip of Black Crafty Foam tape and dusted it with glitter, added some sequins with some rolled up Dodz™ – small, and finished off my embellishments with custom colored Dodz™ – 3D in a little more glitter. So pretty! This panel was attached using my very favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

LisaAdametz-BeautyWatercolor-3

The size of the Dodz™ – 3D make them so easy to create a custom embellishment! And those sequins aren’t going anywhere by using the Dodz™ – Small rolled up to hold them down. The Crafty Foam tape has so many uses. How do you use yours?

LisaAdametz-BeautyWatercolor-2

Sooooo much more shimmery in real life.

Super simple card to make and it really is so much fun to get painty and use your adhesives in fun, new ways.

Merry Christmas Card!

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here! It is hard to believe that Christmas is just a couple of weeks away! Are you making your Christmas cards? I try to make a pretty good stash of them for the teachers, bus drivers, and some of the gals I work with. I am not really a mass producer of cards. For me, each one is unique and different. I was playing around with watercolors and produced this pretty background in silver and pink.

I wanted to make sure the background was visible so I die cut a circle popped up with 3D foam. I added some pretty glittery snowflakes, jingle bells, sequins, and a sentiment.

Here is a run down of how I created my card. 🙂 I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper. ( I used Tim Holtz 4×6 paper precut) I spritzed it with water then spritzed the pink and silver. I moved it around a bit until I was happy with the colors placement.

While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled a bit of glitter. Believe it or not, it actually sticks!

To create my circle I grabbed 3 Spellbinders dies. The center one only embosses, it doesn’t cut.

Then I cut 3 layers of snowflakes using various shades of pink paper. I used glossy accents on each and sprinkled it with a coarse clear glitter. The snowflakes, once dry, were stacked and held together using DODZ Adhesive Dots Small.

When I layered my card, I love having depth and dimension, so I grabbed my trusty 3D Foam Squares.

I lined the backside of the circle with them and placed it directly on my water color paper

I then used E-Z Squares® to adhere the water color paper to pink card stock.

And last but not least I used the Crafty Foam Tape to adhere my watercolor/pink cardstock to the card’s base.

Here is another look at my finished card!

Thank you for popping by!

Winter Layout – HO HO HO

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a wintry scrapbooking page using some beautiful 3D Foam Trees and other adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®

I created a winter forest with 3D Foam Trees and glitter sheets.

It is just so easy, peel of the protective film, press the foil on the Designer shape, remove the foil and ready to go.

I decorated a winter tag with the trees and I decided to use it on a scrapbooking page. To adhere the different paper I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable.

For my “HO HO HO” and the photo I used the Crafty Foam Tape to give them a highlight.

Thanks for visiting today!

Glittery, Dimensional Snowflake Christmas Tree Card

Posted on December 7, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today sharing a playful, fun Christmas card that uses snowflake die cuts to form a holiday tree:

angela ploegman merry christmas card final

To make this card, I grabbed the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″, the 3D Foam Creative Sheets, the 3D Foam Stars, the 3D Foam Squares White Regular and my FAVE tape runner, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. In addition to the right adhesives, I found my favorite snowflake dies and glitter and went to work.

Snowflakes were die cut from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and green card stock that was backed with the Adhesive Sheets. The card stock snowflakes were arranged into an outline of a tree shape on the card background. Then the top backing was removed from the die cut 3D Foam Creative Sheets and green glitter was applied. The glittered foam snowflakes were then arranged up the center of the tree. A little piece of brown card stock tucked under the tree was adhered with the E-Z Runner®.

To top off the tree, a 3D Foam Star shape was selected and two tones of gold glitter were applied to each section of the star. The two pieces were removed together and set atop of the tree.

The sentiment sticker was popped up on some 3D foam squares and placed in the center of the tree shape.

Simple, fast and fun! Thanks for stopping by today!
