Peace Wreath – Using Photo Corners and 3D Foam Snowflakes

Posted on December 20, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends, it’s Lisa here! Can you believe it’s almost Christmas?!! I’m so unprepared! But, as is my nature, I’m waiting ’til the last minute to get things done. 🙂 I hope this fun and sparkly card gets YOUR creative juices flowing and gets you inspired.

Isn’t it fun? And I love the color combination. It just makes me happy.

How to Make the Peace Wreath

1. Using circle dies, die-cut a circle to create the base of the wreath.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-2

2. Gather desired glitter colors and 3D Foam Snowflakes.

3. Peel off protective layer from 3D Foam Snowflake and shake Glitter on top. Burnish into the adhesive. Brush away excess. Repeat for as many snowflakes as desired. Including the fun snowdrops!

4. To create the “wreath”, simply adhere the Silver Creative Photo Corners one at a time onto the die-cut circle so that they fit snugly into each other.

5. Attach your snowflakes. (No photo.)

6. Use small Thin 3D Foam Squares for just a little bit of lift under the wreath. And adhere wreath to card front.

7. I worked backwards and had already adhered my wreath, so I used the MyStik® Permanent Strips to adhere the card front to the card base.

8. Die cut a sentiment from glitter card stock (leave the die stuck in the square of paper). Then cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets the same size as the size (at least) of your die cut. Remove the yellow release paper and burnish it to the back side of your die cut. The die can then be pull out from the front ready to be adhered.

Candy Cane Holders

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today with some cute candy cane holders, great for the Christmas tree, the dining table or little treats for kids and friends.

I’ve put together a little tutorial on how to make them. I chose Spellbinders Labels Four die templates and a small circular die to create two holes as detailed in the image.

Selecting a sheet of 3D Foam Stars, I peeled off the front sheet and sprinkled some fine gold glitter over the sticky area.

Tap off the excess and remove the star carefully, it is beautifully encrusted with glitter – a lovely embellishment.

I used Lawn Fawn – Winter Gifts for the sentiment stamp, attached my gold 3D Foam Star and matted this onto green cardstock with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

On the reverse I applied 3D Foam Squares Regular – White.

Attach the sentiment card to the the label shape and thread the candy canes through the two holes.

An extra decoration is Spellbinders Holly Twigs and Leaves.

Thank you for joining me today, wishing you a fantastic creative Christmas.

Christine

A Warm Wishes Shaped Wine Tag Tutorial

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Holidays! With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I’d share an idea to put sparkle into your gift giving. Using the 3D Foam Trees, I put together a hanger tag that will bring a smile to your recipient instead of a boring wine bag.

Start with a sheet of 3D Foam Trees shapes. I swiped the liner with anti-static powder to control the glittery mess 🙂

Went a little crazy on the glitter – just bought a pack of 18 WONDERFUL COLORS! LOL!! Some have tri-color (just tear the liner ⅓ of the tree, add glitter and repeat two more times to achieve the effect) and others have either silver, teal, yellow, etc.

After I decided which tree to use, I took off its trunk liner and colored it with Stamper’s Big Brush Walnut Brown Pen – I colored two coats (dry between coats).

For the base I cut/embossed Snowflakes View Die #2 (the smallest die size is #1) with red patterned paper and Die #1 with ivory cardstock.

Stamp the sentiments to the ivory die cut. Add the glittered 3D Foam Trees shapes at the bottom of the stamped die cut.

Tip: to remove the shapes from the sheet of 3D Foam trees, I used my Tool ‘N One.

Place 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular in the back and center on the red die cut.

To create the hanger part, I cut a 3¾ x 12″ strip of ivory cardstock and scored at 6″ on the long side.

About 1″ from the score line, I cut/embossed Standard Circles LG Die #3 to create an opening for the bottle neck. Then I trimmed about ½” from the circle and rounded all the corners to finish the hanger.

I just had add a little texture to the hanger so I used 3D M-Bossibilities™ European Tapestry Folder. Very lightly mist water on the cardstock to soften the fibers and put it through my Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine for a deep embossing.

Add the tag with 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular onto the hanger – you are ready to give a bottle of wine with a little sparkle for the holidays!

Holiday Christmas Tags Using Designer Foam Shapes

Posted on December 15, 2014 by AJ Otto

Merry Christmas!! Tags seem to be the topic as of late, and I have a few more I am sharing that are super fun and cute.

Who doesn’t need a cute tag for all those last minute gifts? Using the 3D Foam Christmas Mix, and 3D Foam Trees, you can easily customize your tags.

Peel back the backing from each tree, and sprinkle glitter over each one. I have a whole sheet of trees ready to go now. Repeat with the elements you would like to use from the other sheets.

I simply created a few tags in the 2 12 X 4″ size, trimmed the tops and adhered the patterned paper strips on the bottom of each using Crafty Power Tape.
I then punched a circle out of the coordinating paper and adhered to the top using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Attach glittered covered 3D Foam Shape to your tag.
To finish, punch a whole through your circle at the top, and pull some ribbon through. Wrap twine through the ribbon and strong the bells, one on each sand before tying into a now.

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!
