Decorated Photo Package

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Latisha Yoast

Latisha with you today, sharing a fun and different way to package photos when giving them away. I am usually the “designated-mom-picture-taker-photographer” for events like Prom or other special occasions. I will get the photos printed, and then I like to package them in glassine bags or kraft bags. They lay flat, perfect for photos and they are easy to decorate.

First gather the supplies you will need.

1. Adhere the trimmed down pieces of pattern paper together.

2. Start adhering the diecuts to the panel by using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white, small)

3. Tie twine through the button then attach buttons to the clothespin and the bag by using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white, small)

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small

Oh Happy Day – Mixed Media Tag

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s Lisa here with you and I’m thrilled to be sharing a little mixed media tag I worked on this week using some of my very favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

LisaAdametz-HappyDayTag-1

I created the background first using a variety of mediums. Once I had that the way I liked it, then I adhered the patterned paper to the side using the MyStik® Permanent Strips. After that I watercolored some paper, stamped the floral images, and die-cut them. I also die-cut a single leaf, as well. I placed 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular under one flower and Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White under the other. I stamped the stems where I wanted them, removed the backing paper from the foam squares and put the flowers in place. I then adhered the leaf with the MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Placing the flowers like this gives it additional dimension since the flowers are now mounted at two different heights or thicknesses.

Here’s a close-up:

I always love rolling up Dodz™ Small to ensure that my bows don’t shift, so I did that with my twine bow. The Dodz™ really keep things nice and secure.

I hope that you enjoyed my tag today and enjoy your weekend!

You’re Special Shaker Tutorial!

Posted on April 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Happy Friday my friends! Michele here with a quick easy shaker card all ready for spring! Shaker cards are all the rage these days! They are so fun and interactive!

The Keepsake Envelopes are perfect for slipping a handful of sequins and beads into. I also used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to create a focal point for my sentiment.

I used the die with my 3D Foam Creative Sheet to create my dimensional frame. I adhered it directly to my Keepsake Envelope. ( I love that it is sticky on both sides!)

I wanted a bit of subtle sparkle, so I sprinkled a bit of glitter. No glue, no hassles, just peel the top off and you have this wonderfully sticky die cut!

I cut my flower out of felt…..

Grabbed my patterned paper…..

I took a section of ribbon and pink twine……

And tied my bow…..

I added my sequins to the envelope.

All of the embellishments were adhered using Dodz™-Medium

I attached the envelope/shaker card to my card stock using the E-Z Squares®.

One last look at the finished product before you go!

I hope you all have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello there, It’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a card with Lawn Fawn paper and stamps and my favorite Adhesives I made for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®.

Here is my tutorial for you how I created this card.

1 – Take your Lawn Fawn Paper Pad “Beachside” and choose coordinating paper. Tear some strips.

2 – Adhere your strips with the E-Z Dots Permanent onto a paper. The torn paper looks like waves.

3 – Cut out your size of card from that paper scraps paper.

4 – Stamp your image from the Lawn Fawn stamp set “Critters in the Sea” on a piece of white cardstock.

5 – Cut out your motive with a scissors.

6 – Stamp on a white strip of cardstock your sentiment.

7 – Use the 3D Foam Squares White Small and 3D Foam Squares White Regular to adhere your motive with a 3D effect.

8 – Select a favorite place to adhere it.

9 – Adhere your card on another cardstock with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

10 – Enjoy your card. 😉

I hope you will have fun with this little tutorial. This technique is also very good to use up your leftovers paper. 😉

Happy Birthday Card Using Adhesive Sheets With Stencils

Posted on April 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today, making the most of supplies I have on hand. For this project, I got out my stencils and figured out how to use them successfully with the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets – 12 x 12″. I used this new technique to create the background for the following card:

Happy Birthday Card Using Adhesive Sheets With Stencils by Angela Ploegman

The trick for using stencils with the Adhesive Sheets – 12 x 12″ is to ‘dust’ the stencil before applying the adhesive through the stencil gaps. This prevents the excess adhesive from sticking to the stencil, allowing it to be easily rubbed off in the occasional spot that it transfers to the stencil. I used my embossing powder duster (usually used to prevent stray embossing powder mishaps) to dust my stencil, but expect that other powders used for the same purpose would work similarly.

Here’s a close up photo of the (stenciled) striped background:

I quite like the tone on tone appearance achieved with the clear embossing powder….it adds just a little bit of texture to the background and keeps things visually interesting. Give it try! Stretch those supplies!
