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.

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?

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.

purple snowflake closeHere 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!purple snowflake2

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.E-Z Squares 650

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

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®

Stephanie_WinterLayout_1

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.

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.

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

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.

Place these in your Christmas tree or make several to display in a pretty bowl.

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!

A Sparkly Christmas Page by Margie Higuchi

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.

MargieHiguchiーSparkleChristmasPg-2

MargieHiguchiーSparkleChristmasPg-3

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!”

MargieHiguchiーSparkleChristmasPg-4

MargieHiguchiーSparkleChristmasPg-4b

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

MargieHiguchiーSparkleChristmasPg-5

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!

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.

Festive Bag - CEmberson 1

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

Festive Bag - CEmberson 2

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.

Festive Bag - CEmberson 3

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

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.
