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!

Festive Pine Cone Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Posted on December 6, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it’s Christine here today. I’ve decided that as I cannot find pine cone ornaments for my Christmas tree I’m going to make my own! See how truly simple it is with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Kraft Creative Photo Corners!

Festive Pine Cone Christmas Ornament Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Pine Cone Ornament

This is what you will need: foam balls, Creative Photo Corners, a little bit of hessian (burlap), and a script decorative stamp and ink.

Stamp completely across the Creative Photo Corners. They are paper and accept ink very nicely. I used just under two sheets for this project.

Next, adhere a small square of hessian (burlap) to the foam ball, I used MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Begin to attach the Creative Photo Corners in a slightly overlapping pattern. The adhesive on them is permanent and strong enough to attach to the foam ball perfectly.

Keep layering and offsetting the Creative Photo Corners so it begins to resemble a pine cone.

You can of course create these with different stamps on different foam shapes in alternative colors. It’s a great project to make with children too.

A Sparkly Christmas Page

Posted on December 4, 2014 by Margie Higuchi

Special Announcement! We are so happy to have the uber-talented Margie Higuchi joining us on the Design Team! Margie has been paper crafting for many years, and has designed for several companies. Please welcome her to the team! Take it away, Margie!

Greetings! I am SO EXCITED to be a part of this wonderful and talented design team – many thanks to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Media Director, Beth Pingry, for the opportunity!

Today I am using Designer Shapes – 3D Foam’s 3D Foam Stars to create my Sparkly Christmas page. Doesn’t it go well with this patterned paper – my inspiration!

First I used wired thread in stark white to shape into a large circle by looping three times and twisting the ends together. To add the gold color, I misted color around the loops and left to dry.

While the twine was drying, I took off the 3D Foam Stars with its liner in tack, flipped it to its back and added gold glitter on top. I did this as I wanted to determine my placement of the stars before “committing!”

After placing the stars where I wanted, I adhered the circle with DODZ™ – Medium and hid them with a glittered star.

I layered various patterned and printed vellum papers in different sizes before placing the photos on top with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive. For more dimension, I popped up the sentiment panel (after inking the edges with Fire Brick Ink) with 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular size.

Added more stickers and “Happy Holiday” die cut from white cardstock swiped in leftover gold mist spray from the wired twine. Used Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ to place on the lower right corner and it’s ready to be shared!

Here’s a second look of the finished page…

Project Supplies:

Festive Gift Bag

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi it is Christine here today with a festive gift bag, easily and speedily made from an all purpose kraft bag and with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. Festive-Bag-CEmberson-5

Firstly I selected the bag and cut a piece of Basic Grey – 25th and Pine paper slightly smaller than the front and fixed it in place with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Using Classic Scallop die from Spellbinders I cut a double scalloped decorative strip, a star and cut a thin strip of kraft card.

I then chose one of the large hearts from 3D Foam Hearts, placed it onto a piece of patterned paper and carefully cut around – it is so useful that you have a variety of sizes.

To affix the star I used 3D Foam Squares – White Regular.

The finished gift bag and some close up shots.

You can easily punch a small hole in the 3D Foam Hearts to thread through twine and add a charm.

It would look good in a variety of festive colors.

Suitable for either a male or female gift and extra special for Christmastime.

Thank you for joining me today, happy crafting!

3D Foam Snowflakes and Pennants Card

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Wow, it’s December first! Can you believe it? This month we’ll be highlighting our Red and Green products and the wintry mix of 3D Foam Shapes!

For my card today I went with a white on white color scheme. Not so much that I want to look out the window and see snow, but I really like the way the whites work together here.

Beth Pingry Snowflake Pennant Card

I used embossing powder on the 3D Foam Snowflakes and 3D Foam Pennants. Because the white film on the top is translucent, I had to trim the Creative Photo Corners down with scissors. I added the lace ribbon with Crafty Power Tape because it is clear and perfect for ribbons.

BethPingry-SnowflakePennant-2

To adhere the film I used Adhesive Sheets because they provide clear edge to edge coverage, perfect for clear or translucent items like this.

A Snowflake Christmas Card

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly here today to share a Christmas card design using the 3D Foam Snowflakes. I don’t know about your winter weather, but where I live, we just got through a 3-day blizzard! So it’s only fitting that I feature a pretty snowflake on a card.

My card design is based on a sketch from the Bazzill Basics Paper blog. To create this card, I first cut and adhered my layers together with my E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips.

Then I added my ribbon using Dodz™ Medium.

To alter the 3D Foam Snowflake and snowballs, I used microbeads.

Here’s a tip when working with the intricate 3D Foam Snowflakes: Lift up each ‘branch’ of the snowflake with your non-stick scissors or tweezers gently and then the entire snowflake can be removed from the foam sheet without being torn or warped.

After placing the 3D Foam Snowflake onto a cut out circle, I removed the backing and pressed down into a small container of microbeads. Really press hard over and over again for maximum coverage and sticking strength!

I love this effect!

I adhered this snowflake circle to my card with my white Crafty Foam Tape.

I placed the snowball polka dots around and added the microbeads to them too.

I think the microbeads look so pretty on the 3D Foam Snowflake and snowballs!

I hope this design gives you some inspiration to make your own Christmas cards…the perfect activity for snowy or cold winter days!

Happy Crafting!

Snowflake Shadowbox

Posted on November 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here to share with you all a hand made holiday home decor piece.

I had a friend give me the most fabulous canvas she created into a shadow box and it totally inspired me to try one of my own. (On a much smaller scale!;) I got this little canvas at the dollar spot eons ago and totally forgot about it- it had a kids cartoon frog on the front of it. I quickly covered the front, and prepped the bottom side, which I ended up using as my shadow box, which I then filled with glittered snowflakes!

To create the snowflakes, I used the 4 X 6″ Adhesive Sheets. Pull back the yellow lining and place your card stock on the adhesive. Burnish a bit then flip over.

Place your die, cutting side into the backside of the sheet and run through your machine.Now you have a an adhesive backed die cut.Pull the backing off, and place a 3D Foam Square in the middle. This will allow you can adhere it to something later once covered with glitter.Repeat with all three snowflakes, alternating glitter types, then layer one atop the other.Lastly, I wanted it to have a little dimension, so I adhered the bottom snowflake with a DODZ™ 3D.

Off to make a few more for my mantle! enjoy!
AJ

Glitter Snowflakes Seasonal Card

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. Today I am sharing a quick and easy Christmas card, perfect for those last minute seasonal makes.

Glitter snowflakes_Asia King1

I created my background by applying onto white card strips of Crafty Power Tape covered in glitters, alternating the colours as I went. To tone down the ‘sparkliness’ I cut an overlay from white vellum, 1/16 inch smaller on each side than the background. Next I die cut a big snowflake in the centre of the vellum panel and embossed the sheet with a snowflake embossing folder. I secured the vellum with Adhesive Dots Medium.

Glitter snowflakes_Asia King4

To layer my cardstock mats and the sparkly background I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Before adhering the background I added a couple of Creative Photo Corners White.

Glitter snowflakes_Asia King5

I decorated the vellum die cut with a 3D Foam Snowflake covered in glitter and a glittered brad. I adhered the whole element over the die cut negative with Adhesive Dots 3D. To show the sparkly background behind it, I turned the snowflake 45 degrees so the arms didn’t overlap the die cut space.

Glitter snowflakes_Asia King2

For the sentiment panel I stamped the quote on vellum and layered it over cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. I popped it over 3D Foam Squares Regular White.

To finish the card I added some lace, twine and sequins adhered with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″.
