Tissue Paper Card

Posted on August 23, 2014 by Tiffany Johnson

Hello Blogosphere! It’s Tiffany here today with a photo tutorial. I have absolutely fallen in love with all things Hazel & Ruby and found myself with a bunch of leftover tissue paper from another project, so I started thinking! Is there an easier way to adhere this tissue paper…. And, there is!

TiffTissuePaperMain

To begin, you need the following Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: Adhesive Sheets 4″ x 6″, E-Z Dots® Permanent- Refillable. I’m also using Hazel & Ruby’s Ephemera Collage Pass the Tissues & Chalk Art Stencil Masks, Colorbox Spray Ink (bubblegum), and Pebbles 6″ x 6″ patterned paper by Jen Hadfield.

TiffTissuePaperSupplies

First, take your cardstock (3 1/4″ x 5″) and apply the adhesive sheet adhesive. I removed the little bit on non-stick sheet on the side so that the entire thing could fit. Then, you burnish the cardstock by rubbing back and forth. This ensures that every bit of the cardstock is covered in adhesive.

Then you apply the tissue paper, working one corner to the next. Burnish the tissue paper into the adhesive & cut excess.

TiffTissuePaper2

Now, you can apply your stencil mask & spray with any spray ink.

TiffTissuePaper3

Remove the stencil mask with a thumb tack & allow time to dry.

TiffTissuePaper4

Once dry, adhere it to your card base using the E-Z Dots® Permanent-Refillable.

TiffTissuePaper5

Then, you can add whatever embellishments you have!

Tag – This is my happy

Posted on August 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today.

I want to show you a tag I made using the 3D Foam Butterflies Designer Shapes as decoration embellishments.

Stephanie_tag_happy_1The white flowers are simple drawings I cuted out. I adhered them with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

Stephanie_tag_happy_2

Then I added beautiful 3D Foam Butterflies decorated with red foil. I only added two of them to let the design simple and clear. I love how they pop up.

Some splashes with Gesso, a title and a Ribbon that’s it.

Make Your Own Background Stamp – Stamped Fabric Tag

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today, posting a tutorial on how to create your own background stamps and then use them to stamp the design onto a fabric tag!

Make Your Own Background Stamp - Stamped Fabric Tag by Angela Ploegman

To get started, gather up your favorite patterned die and your Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

angela ploegman custom fabric stamping 1

Position the 3D Foam Creative Sheet face down on the cutting surface of the die, using tape to keep in place if necessary.

angela ploegman custom fabric stamping 2

Diecut the image from the 3D Foam Creative Sheet. Remove the unprinted backing from the portion of the image you would like to stamp with. (If you are really feeling creative, you can create 2 stamps from a single sheet-one negative image stamp and one positive image stamp-this tutorial only covers the positive image technique).

angela ploegman custom fabric stamping 3

Press the entire 3D Foam Creative Sheet onto a heavy piece of acetate. The uncovered adhesive on the die cut image will stick to the acetate. Remove the negative portion of the die cut image (this part still has the backing and should remove easily).

Using some water soluble ink pads, ink up a craft sheet or a palette board with multiple ink colors. Spritz with some ClearSnap Smooch Spritz to blend the colors. Ink the stamp and place face up on a flat surface.

Press the fabric tag onto the surface of the stamp and smooth firmly with your hand to fully transfer the image to the fabric.

Dry the tag (a heat gun speeds up this process) and stamp your sentiment. Add embellishments of your choice and you are done!

Such a fun and easy technique (and it works equally well on watercolor paper)!

Altered Heart

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Christine Emberson

 Hi everyone, it is Christine here today sharing with you an altered heart project.

CEmberson - Heart5

I selected an MDF heart and some patterned paper – Fancy Pants, Memories Captured.  Drew around the heart with a pencil and cut it out.

CEmberson - Heart1

It was then simple to adhere the paper to the MDF using MyStik® Permanent Strips , as you can see because it dispenses in tiny adhesive strips and is therefore perfect for curves.

CEmberson - Heart2

I sanded the edges of the heart gently, applied distress ink and stamped a script design to the bottom section.

I then selected a rectangle of patterned paper, distressed and inked the edges.  I also raided my material box and found some hessian and frayed the edges, both of these will strongly adhere to my project with Crafty Power Tape. CEmberson - Heart3

Because this is a gift for my niece I placed a special photo of her inside a Keepsake Envelope, this will save it getting dusty and adds a nice touch.  These come in a variety pack so there’s always a right size for whatever you place inside!CEmberson - Heart4I then added some lace, twine, a die cut Spellbinders® Create A Sunflower and a little brad to represent a closure on the Keepsake Envelope.  The sunflower is firmly in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

CEmberson - Heart6

A completed gift and made speedy with the perfect adhesives.

Thank you for joining me today and remember to keep stopping by the Crafty Power Blog for lots of inspirational projects.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® – Keepsake Envelopes – Mix, Crafty Power Tape, MyStik® Permanent Strips, 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular

Adhesive Sheets and Ribbon – Grateful Heart Card

Posted on August 16, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth, and today’s card features Adhesive Sheets and ribbon. I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, and I’m so happy with the way it turned out. Let me show you how I did it.

BethPingry - Grateful Heart CardAdhesive Sheets are a great way to cover a lot of area fast, so they were the perfect choice for this project!

First, trim a scrap of cardstock to a little larger than the die you’ll be using. Peel the yellow layer off the Adhesive Sheet and place it adhesive side down onto the cardstock.

TIP: Save the yellow sheet for later!

BethPingry-GratefulHeart1Next peel off the back of the adhesive sheet, which leaves you with cardstock covered in a thin layer of adhesive.

BethPingry-GratefulHeart2Next, cover the adhesive with ribbon, here I used wide ribbon so it only took 3 pieces.

BethPingry-GratefulHeart3Optional step: alter the ribbon! I used Gelatos to create fall colors on the ribbon. If your ribbon is already just the way you want it, skip this step.
BethPingry-GratefulHeart4I had some fun with the Gelatos, by rubbing the color in with my finger, then adding a bit of water to continue to blend it. (I messed up in a further step and had to re-do so I went with a different set of colors. Why am I craving candy corn?)

BethPingry-GratefulHeart5Once the ribbon was colored, I stamped a sentiment, then die cut it. Now, the variable part here is the thickness of the ribbon, cardstock and the type of die you use. I used a thin metal die, and ran it through my machine a few times, but I still had to trim some of the edges with scissors. Not a biggie, because the ribbon was thick.

Did you save the yellow sheet from above? Place it over any exposed adhesive before die cutting, and your paper won’t stick to the cutting plates!
BethPingry-GratefulHeart6It says “Grateful Heart”, so I had to use a 3D Foam Heart, right? I added pigment powder to it, using my finger. Plopped it onto the ribbon (yes, it sticks to the Gelatos and ribbon!) so it was a bit skewed. To keep it the same height as the rest of the die cut, I trimmed a 3D Foam Square to support the edges, then added more around the back side of the die cut.
BethPingry-GratefulHeart7
See how that looks? I love this card, I hope you do too!
BethPingry-GratefulHeart9Thanks!

Grateful on this day

Posted on August 15, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here with a new card Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Keepsake Envelopes.

AJOtto-Glitter-1

I wanted a window for my rain to show through, but not all fall to the bottom.  Adding clouds and raindrops to the Keepsake Envelope provides the glitter with somewhere to land and look as if it’s falling.

 AJOtto-Glitter-2

 

 

So, I adhered a few wood pieces inside my envelope using Dodz™Small.  I placed two on the backside of the cloud.

AJOtto-Glitter-3

Then to adhere the rain drops, I rolled the Dodz onto itself and cut it in half.  I then adhered it using a paper piercer.

AJOtto-Glitter-4

I then adhered each one to the inside of the envelope.

AJOtto-Glitter-5

I then poured some Vintage Glass Glitter inside before adhering to a card stock backing. I then adhered the front using Crafty Foam Tape.  *I trimmed the tape lengthwise to fit my square.

AJOtto-Glitter-6

Then adhere to the blue layer using 3D Foam Squares.

AJOtto-Glitter-7To finish off, adhere to the panel to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape.

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Metal Money Holder

Posted on August 12, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here. I have been experimenting with metals (metal/aluminum sheets) the last few days. I’m not going to lie, metal sheets are a little hard for me to work with, so playing with this type of material, helps to stretch my creativity. I made this super cute money or gift card holder.

 

Metal Money or Gift Card Holder Tutorial

 

Using metal sheets, dies, a few embellishments and adhesives that I thought would work well with this kind of material, I made this bright & shiny money holder/gift card.

How to Make the Metal Money or Gift Card Holder

 

LY 0812 metal4ucollage

1.  Trim metal sheet to size (so there is no waste) and cut an Adhesive Sheet the same size.

2.  Adhesive Sheets are double sided, so carefully peel off the yellow top, and adhere it to the back of the metal sheet.

3.  Die cut the metal sheet.

4.  Die cut a piece of double sided pattern paper using the same die (you will need 2 of these).

5.  Peel off the adhesive sheet protector on the back of the metal diecut, and adhere is to the pattern paper.

 

LY 0812 metal4ucollage2

6.  Diecut another piece of metal.  Cut the bottom off so its around 1 1/2 inches tall.

7.  Using Crafty Power Tape, place two strip on the back of the cut metal die cut.

8.  Adhere to the remaining paper die cut.

9.  Using a smaller banner die, die cut 2 yellow metal banners.  Place 3D Foam Squares on the back, and adhere to the front embossed die cut.

10.  I used old alphabet chipboard letters that lost its adhesive, so I placed 3D Foam Squares on the back of the letters.  I had to trim the squares a little using scissors.

11.  Apply sequins to the card front using Adhesive Dots Small.

12. Add ribbon and twine to secure the two pieces.

Altered Burlap Thank You Tag

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today and I have a tag to share that was a little bit inspired by my super, amazing fellow Crafty Power Blog Team Member, Angela.  When I saw her last card here on the Crafty Power Blog I knew I had a roll of very similar burlap burning a hole in one of my craft boxes that just needed some creating done to it! 🙂

LisaAdametz-ThankYouTagBurlap-1

I colored the background of the tag with a variety of Distress Paints (which I dried) and then added a generous coating of two of the new Metallic Gelatos® from the new Steampunk Collection.  Once the background was dried I then used Gesso and a piece of punchinella to add interest to the top and bottom of the burlap before die-cutting the center oval.

I adhered the burlap piece to the finished background with plenty of Crafty Power Tape – 81′.  The Thank You, arrow, and  flowers to the left of Thank You are all part of Fancy Pants Designs, Inc. Burlap & Bouquets Ephemera Pack. These were adhered with a variety of levels of 3D Foam Squares in the Black Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix, White. Enamel dots were added to the ephemera flowers. Then all that was left was to add the BIG corner flowers. Nothing adheres these better than Dodz™ – 3D.

This tag would be great to hang on a bottle of wine or anything as a Thank You gift! I have just the friend I intend to give it to. 🙂

Here are a few other angles:
