Happy Dreams Do Come True

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone – Asia King here. I’m back today with an inspirational card in celebration of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns are usually associated with a pink colour. As I wanted my card to include an element of hope, I added splashes of green colour as well.

I really enjoyed making this card, especially my glitter tiled background.

I started by pulling out a large scrap of white card and a cute decorative white panel that was pre-embossed and had a round aperture.

I began sticking rows of Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White to create an area slightly bigger than the panel. I used the panel as a guide to see which areas would be showing through the apertures as they needed to be fully covered with the foam squares.

Next I covered the squares in glitter, alternating the colours to create a pattern. When I finished, I trimmed the excess card around the squares background leaving a small border.

To mount the decorative panel onto the background I used Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White and 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. Before you do that, you might like to swipe the front of the panel with some chalk/matt paint and add the Photo Corners – Classic Style, Pink (available during October at your local retailer).

To adhere the background to a green card blank I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable.

Next I rummaged through my stash again and pulled out various (long forgotten) elements, a selection of flowers and florist’s fibers. To create the sentiment panel I inked the Dreams stamp with PITT pens and stamped onto an oval die cut element. The die cut was slightly glossy, so to avoid smudging the ink I heat embossed it with a clear embossing powder.

To adhere all my florals and fibers I used DODZ™ – Small; DODZ™ – Medium; DODZ™ – 3D. To finish the card I added some half pearls and Liquid Pearls.

Supplies:

Photo Corners – Classic Style, Pink; Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White; 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular; E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable; DODZ™ – Small; DODZ™ – Medium; DODZ™ – 3D.

Other supplies:

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. Happy dreaming everyone!

A Card Bringing Hope

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today sharing a card I designed in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L has the perfect adhesives and embellishments to design cards for this occasion, and I used the 3D Foam Wings, 3D Foam Hearts, Crafty Foam Tape, and the cute Pink Classic Style Photo Corners.

These Pink Photo Corners are a specialty item, so just ask your favourite retailer about them!

I altered my 3D Foam Wings with Silver glitter embossing powder and the 3D Foam Heart with Pink glitter embossing powder. The string with the hope writing is just me drawing with a fine-tipped black marker freehand.

I wish all of you a day filled with hope and happiness!

Happy Crafting!

We will have our limited edition Pink Creative Photo Corners are available only during the month of October. When you purchase these, a portion of the sale is donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. How awesome is THAT?!!

Love and Support the Girls

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here! As you know, October is breast cancer awareness month, so I created a card honoring a friend of mine who is currently fighting this disease. I wanted to send her a card of encouragement. She has a tough spirit and I know she will get through this with the support of her family and friends. But even tough girls need reminders. 😉

My card uses a stamp set from Crafty Secrets. It was colored with Copic Markers. The Pink Creative Photo Corners from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® were perfect for this card! I used a Spellbinders die for the image and background matte. The embossing folder was also by Spellbinders.

I added a bit of ribbon, pearls, and added layers of dimension. ( I love using the Dodz™ to adhere my little embellishments.)

Pink Creative Photo Corners are the best! 🙂

I started layering my pieces and incorporated those pretty Pink Creative Photo Corners.

I stamped and colored all of my pieces and laid them out so I could decide how to arrange them.

Since I am a fan of lumpy cards, I pulled out my favorite 3D Foam Squares to do the job!

I placed them behind my main image so my gal would be popped off the page a bit.

I embossed the back panel and needed to adhere it to the card, so the E-Z Squares® were perfect!

Here is a final peek at the finished product!

Thank you for stopping by! I am off to pop this card in the mail today!

Inspirations for Christmas Tags

Posted on October 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today with some inspirations for christmas tags using the 3D Foam Wings, 3D Foam Hearts and Creative Photo Corners as decoration embellishments. The pink photo corners is a limited edition for the breast cancer awareness.

All tags have a background with acrylic paint on watercolor paper. For the first tag I drew a little angel and colored her with Neocolor II.

For the little heart in her hand I used the 3D Foam Hearts and red glitter foil.

The wings are from the 3D Foam Wings set on which I added beige embossing powder. This is such a great way to add a 3D effect, I use it often on my projects.

I added the wings and gave the angel some finishing touches with a black pen.

On the second tag I used the pink (limited edition) Creative Photo Corners and arranged them in a heart from.

I used also a 3D Foam Hearts and red glitter foil on top of it.

My third inspiration is a flying heart, a combination of the 3D Foam Wings and 3D Foam Hearts.

I hope I could give you some little inspirations for your christmas cards or tags.

Autumn Leaves Card

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today to share with you a card I created using some 3D Foam Leaves. I was inspired by the gorgeous changing foliage surrounding me here in Canada. Autumn is in full swing!

To adhere my card base layers, I used my E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips, along with some Gold Creative Photo Corners.

Then I placed three 3D Foam Leaves and embroidery thread onto the card. One thing I really love about the 3D Foam Leaves package is that there is a variety of shapes and sizes of leaves….and you get 28 total, which is lots for all kinds of projects!
