Surprise! Halloween Treat Box

Posted on September 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello- AJ here to share a fun little treat wrap for your Halloween goodies!

I love being able to make cute little treats for the holidays- whether its for the kids, or their friends, etc. This is a quick little treat wrap using two label dies.

Die cut the label of choice twice, and score at about an 1″. Trim the point off.
Stamp what ever background you are going to create, and place a few Adhesive Dots Small to hold your twine. Adhere focal images on top off twine using 3D Foam Squares.

To adhere the die cuts together, place Crafty Power Tape on both ends of the die cuts. I finished it off with orange ribbon and more black twine to hold it all together, and a cute little tag.

Enjoy!

Supplies:

Spellbinders dies; Paper Smooches stamps; card stock, inks, Sakura of North America Glaze pens & Koi watercolor paints; Studio Calico White paint.

Grunge Birthday Card Tutorial

Posted on September 28, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone and I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday! Asia here and today I am sharing a tutorial for this grunge birthday card I made for my hubby :). Masculine cards are always tricky, especially if you like adding flowers to your projects (which I so do!). I hope this project will show that you don’t have to give up floral accents in masculine projects – as long as you keep your overall design quite ‘manly’. So let’s get started!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l - Asia King

1. Prepare your 5″x7″ card blank, patterned papers, stamps, inks and your favourite adhesives. I will be using E-Z Squares® Refillable.

2. Trim your background paper slightly smaller than the card blank. Next cut out some alpha elements in a form of irregular blocks. Ink them up and distress the edges.

3. Adhere the background panel and the alpha blocks using E-Z Squares® Refillable. Add some more interest to the background with washi tapes.

Autumn Canvas

Posted on September 27, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Happy Saturday, my crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today to share a canvas that I made to celebrate Autumn. I love making decor pieces like this. They don’t require a ton of supplies and really come together so easily.

I used some Distress paint to create the background along with a stencil and a Gold embossing paste. Once all that was dry I went over the edges with PanPastel in Copper.

To create the tree I downloaded a cut file from my Silhouette. (This one is called Leafless Bare Tree by Alaa’K.) I cut it 4 times out of Kraft cardstock, stacked each one on top of each other and adhered them together with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable. Then I stamped it with Versamark using a woodgrain stamp, and went over it again using PanPastels in Copper and Bronze. (I’m sorry that my photos don’t show how pretty and shimmery the tree looks from this.)

I cut tiny strips from my roll of white Crafty Foam Tape to apply under the tree. And I tucked some Fall Leaf Sequins from Lawn Fawn under the branches. I also used some of the 3D Foam Leaves, applied some glitter, and tucked those into some branches as well. So sparkly!

To finish it off I used the Silhouette again to cut the word “Autumn” out of some glitter paper. I adhered this down using some of the thin, small white 3D Foam Squares that I cut in half. I also tied a bow around my little tree using some hemp twine and secured it in place using a Dodz™ – small.

This is a very easy canvas to make and will be fun to hang up for this Fall Season.

Supplies:
From Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®:
Thin 3D Foam Squares White
Crafty Foam Tape, White
Dodz™ – Small
E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable
3D Foam Leaves

Other Supplies:
Distress Paints, Martha Stewarts Crafts Glitter, Lawn Fawn Fall Leaf Sequins, Silhouette Cut Files, Prima Stencil, Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste, Glitter Paper, Hemp Twine.

Posted on September 26, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello! Welcome to Day 5 of the Penny Black blog hop!
Latisha here and I created a holiday card using the 40-437 We Three Kings stamp from Penny Black, along with some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products.

As you can see, I spent a great deal coloring in this image with copic markers, however if you do not like to color, this would be just as beautiful paper pieced. To make my card have more dimension, I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white, regular) in between layers. Adding Creative Photo Corners (white & kraft) on each corner, helped to frame the card. Keeping your eyes on the center of the card as the focal point.

Instructions:

1. Cut/score kraft cardstock.

2. Diecut pattern paper, add Photo Corners Kraft on each corner.

3. Apply 3D Foam Squares to the diecut panel, and adhere to the card front.

4. Stamp image in black ink, onto white cardstock.

5. Diecut the image.

6. Color in image with Copic Markers.

7. Distress the edges of the diecut

8. Add Creative Photo Corners White to each corner.

9. Apply Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares to the back of the die cut & adhere to the card.

I then cut a doily in half and adhered it to my card with Crafty Power Tape. Using the Joy Filled stamp set by Penny Black I stamped my Peace on Earth sentiment and then adhered it with Crafty Foam Tape for extra dimension.

Penny Black Blog Hop Day 3 – Christmas in Purple and Silver

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Happy hump day my crafty friends! It’s Michele here with a card for our week long blog hop with Penny Black!

I love, love, love this Christmas stamp from Penny Black! It is called Deco Tree and I love how whimsical the image is! I stamped the image with Versamark and embossed it in silver. I wanted to add a bit of sparkle to the tree so I added Stickles to various parts of it. I also stamped the sentiment in Versamark and embossed it in purple. I added a few rhinestones and a snowflake sequin. I layered the image over silver sequin paper using Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty foam tape.

I tied silk ribbon around the image vertically and then tied my coordinating jingle bells around the center. I didn’t want everything jiggling around, so I used Dodz™ small to hold my bells and ribbon tails in place. I then layered the image on the card front with my Crafty Foam Tape. ( I like my cards to be lumpy and bumpy!) 😉

Penny Black Blog Hop Day 2 – Watercolor Beauty

Posted on September 23, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here with you on this fabulously crafty Tuesday. And we are thrilled to be Blog Hopping with Penny Black all week long and getting in the Holiday spirit early. Yay!

Here is the card that I created for the hop. I always love creating with Penny Black. My creativity tends to go a little bit crazy. 😉

I used the Sprightly (40-337) background stamp in a slightly different way. I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder and then used just parts of the stamp to create kind of a swirly look on opposing corners. I then used 3 colors of Distress Inks (Seedless Preserves, Pumice Stone and Evergreen Bough) to “watercolor” the background. The berries were colored with an Art GRIP™ Aquarelle Watercolor Pencil from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®.

You can see some of the overlap of the colors a little bit better in this photo. It’s a very loose style of watercoloring.

I used the same gold embossing powder on a piece of cardstock weight vellum to stamp the sentiment from the set called Beauty of the Season (30-254) which I wrapped around the watercolored piece. I secured it in place with my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

Then I added LOTS of 3D Foam Squares (in white) to give the card front dimension. Before attaching to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Ivory seam binding ribbon around it and secured with a few DODZ™ – Small (I like to roll them up).

Now all I had to do was add it to the card base, which I kept neutral. I love how it turned out. I hope you all like it, too! 🙂

Penny Black Blog Hop Day 1 – Christmas Card

Posted on September 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi There, it’s Stephanie here today.

Welcome to Day 1 of our Blog Hop with Penny Black Stamps!

I want to show you my first christmas card I made this year using a beautiful stamp of Poinsettia from Festive Florals and a script stamp “Merry Christmas” from Joy Filled set from Penny Black and E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable and Crafty Foam Tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®.

Here we go, I have a tutorial for you.

1 – I love to create my own backgrounds for cards and layouts. If you also love to create with paint, cut a piece of watercolor paper in 11,7×17,2 cm and use some blue and beige acrylic paint with a sponge to give the background of the card a little bit texture. Splash a little bit with red paint.

2 – Stamp the motife of the Poinsettia twice with a Big Brush Pen.

3 – Cut out a hole motife and only one flower and some leaves and give the middle point some Stickles glitter.

4 – Use red Neocolor II (or other watercolor paint) to give the flower red color. I only colored one flower.

5 – Make three lines with Washi Tape at the upper right corner in matching colors.

6 – Stamp your text or wish on a white piece of paper and cut it out.

7 – Use Crafty Foam Tape to adhere the text over the washi tape. It gives a nicely 3D effect.

8 – Distress the edges of the text stripe.

9 – Cut out a piece of chipboard twice as large as the card and gives 1mm more on each side. Then use your cutting pad to make a cut at the middle. The chipboard is thick enough not to cut. It will be like a book cover.

10 – Now use washi tape to enclose the folded edge.

11 – Adhere all together with E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

12 – Punch holes through the chipboards and use a ribbon to close the card. Distress the edges with blue color.

Layered Masking Technique Tutorial

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela hosting today and I’m sharing a layered masking technique featuring the highly versatile Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets – 4×6“. Here’s the finished project. The photo tutorial follows. Enjoy!

Layered Mask Angela Ploegman Tutorial

1. Gather a small canvas, your Adhesive Sheets and a die. Open dies with lots of negative space work best.

2. Cut the Adhesive Sheet with the die. Peel away the yellow backing in one piece (Do NOT Discard) and adhere the Adhesive Sheet to the canvas.

3. Place the die cut yellow backing piece from Step 2 over the die cut Adhesive Sheet on the canvas. Tape into place.

4. Fill the open spaces with a wet media of your choice. I used a gold embossing paste.

5. Remove the yellow backing mask and then the white sheet on the die cut adhesive. Do this when the piece is still wet.

6. Let dry. Don’t worry about the exposed adhesive, it will remain sticky. I left my project out overnight without any problems.

7. After the wet media has completely dried, cover the exposed adhesive with a dry media of your choice. I used silver leafing, but glitter or embossing powder would work equally well.

8. Embellish the canvas according to your preference. I painted a maple leaf with bright pink paint and adhered to the canvas with 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small. Here’s a close up view of the final project.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Drips, Google Eyes, and Glitter! Oh my!

Posted on September 20, 2014 by Tiffany Johnson

Hello Blogosphere! It’s Tiffany here with a SUPER fun mixed-media card for ya!

TiffDripMain

I absolutely love the versatility and strength of the Adhesive Sheets, which is how I created my google eye glitter panel!

TiffDripStepSupplies

For this tutorial, I’ll be using the Adhesive Sheets – 4″ x 6″, 3D Foam Squares Black – Mix, and the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

TiffDripStep1

To create those cool mixed-media drips, just combine about 1/8″ of Licorice Gelatos, about a tablespoon of Glaze, and a drop or two of water until it’s got maple syrup-like consistency.

TiffDripStep2

Then, using a dropper tool or a round paint brush, apply the drips starting at one corner of an A2 card front. I like to hold the paper vertically to allow the drips to naturally fall. Set aside to dry.

TiffDripStep3

While the drips are drying, take an A2 card base and apply the Adhesive Sheet to the bottom 1/3 at a diagonal. I like to burnish both sides to ensure full coverage. Add the Google Eyes first.

TiffDripStep4 Once you’ve added the Google Eyes, cover the rest with glitter. Tap excess. If you have an embossing buddy, use that to wipe the glitter off of the google eyes!

TiffDripStep5

Repeat the process with “BOO” die-cut letters. I used the Sizzix Block Talk Uppercase Die by Tim Holtz to create my letters.

TiffDripStep6

Add glitter and tap excess.

TiffDripStep7

Once the drips are dry, adhere everything to the A2 card base. I added an orange border at the diagonal and some patterned paper at the top.

TiffDripStep8

Cut some small black 3D foam squares in half and apply to the “BOO” letters. Add to card.

TiffDripCloseup

Now, you can add some twine and some not-so-spooky ghosts! Voila! Instant spooky cuteness 😉

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks for stopping by,
