Celebrate Patriotic Card Tutorial

Posted on June 29, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi my friends! It’s Lisa here with you today and I have fun and funky little card to share with you today to start you off with your pre-Independence Day celebrations. We LOVE all things Patriotic in my house so this card may just be put up as a decoration. 🙂

For this card, the solid circle images were stamped using Distress Inks that were inked up, spritzed lightly with water and THEN stamped. That gives the finished image that kind of watercolored, less “finished” look.

The second stamp (which is the scribble circles) is then stamped over that for both the blue and red solid images in Black Archival Ink. There are small hashtag images or dash lines which can also be used at this time.

I die cut the inner circles out of patterned paper next.

Then I popped up the center circles using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I like having these on hand because sometimes I’m just not sure what size squares I want to use for dimension. The mix-packs take out the guess work.

After stamping on the stems of the flowers and die-cutting some petals it was time to adhere the petals. I used my favorite adhesive for this MyStik® Permanent Strips Adhesive.

I used a curved die and more patterned paper to create interest at the corner of the paper. I used the MyStik®, once again, to keep it in place.

In the meantime I also stamped my sentiment (which I cut apart) in Versamark on cardstock weight vellum, used white embossing powder, and heat set it. After doing this, and prior to attaching/wrapping the sentiment, I decided to die-cut a few stars. I die-cut a few out of the paper pack and one out of the piece of vellum where the sentiment was stamped.

Due to the shape and sheerness (at least of the vellum star) I decided to use the Adhesive Sheets to adhere these down. I have a large 12 x 12″ piece that I love to use even for the tiny pieces because I can use it for everything. This is by *far* the best adhesive for those tiny, intricate and detailed things you just don’t know how to get to stick! And it works amazing for vellum!

Now I just place my stars where I want them and wrap my sentiment. Of course, to get the sentiment to stay where I want it, I’m breaking out the big guns: The Crafty Power Tape. 🙂

And there you have it! A super cute, funky, fun and very festive card for Independence Day. I added a little bit of ink to the edges, but it’s totally not necessary. This card is super easy to make and looks great with all the patterns of red, white, and blue. Hope you break out your adhesives, patterned paper, and have some fun on YOUR July 4th. It’s less than a week away.

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.

Fairytale Wedding Exploding Box Tutorial

Posted on June 28, 2014 by Asia King

Hello Friends. Asia King here. Today I’m sharing a project that is completely new to me and I can’t believe it’s taken me such a long time to try this! I’m talking about an exploding box/card.

I frequently come across beautiful exploding boxes in blogland but somehow I’d never thought of making one myself. Perhaps I mistakenly assumed it was really difficult – but it isn’t at all! If you’ve never tried it I hope this project will inspire you to have a go.

This project was a commissioned wedding gift and my instructions were that the Bride loved shabby chic, lace and hearts. Oh and that the card should have a matching box. I think I met all the requirements :).

Fairytale Wedding_Asia King16

Here are the steps for the project.

1. Prepare a base for the card using a 12″ x 12″ double-sided scrapbook paper. Score vertically and horizontally in 4″ increments. You should get 9 squares. Next cut out the corner squares as shown below and fold the pages in. The square in the middle will be the base/bottom of the box.

2. Decorate the outer sides with some lace and E-Z Dots® Mini Permanent (shown but now discontinued), but you can use the E-Z Dots® Permanent in Original or Refillable.

3. Cut out decorative inserts for the pages/sides from patterned papers and adhere with Crafty Foam Tape White.

You can also add some distressing and stamping as required.

4. Fussy cut any additional graphics and elements and mount them onto the pages with Crafty Foam Tape White and Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White.

5. For the 3D birdcage cut 4 birdcage fronts from Grunge Paper and heat emboss with White Shabby Chic Enamel. Prepare a small box insert for the bottom of the birdcage (with each side equal to the width of the birdcage die-cut) and adhere the sides with E-Z Dots® Permanent. Align the die cuts to the box sides, mark and punch the holes and attach the birdcage fronts with decorative brads. Then adhere the birdcage to the card base with Mounting Squares White keeping it open for now. Fill the bottom of the cage with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D and sprinkle over with some raffia.

6. Place a small decorative bird inside the birdcage. Add some DIY eggs made from Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D and crushed Color Fragments.

7. Add additional embellishments around the birdcage with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

8. Add some finishing elements to the box fronts with cut out stamped panels decorated with Creative Photo Corners Black and adhered with 3D Foam Squares Black.

9. Also add some die-cut labels adhered with Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White.

10. For the lid cut a square with dimensions 6 and 1/8 inch on each side. Score all sides 1″ from the left and cut a small slit to form the lid. Adhere the sides with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

11. Add more lace decorations with E-Z Dots Permanent and Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

12. I also created a bunch of small roses from matching papers using small – 5 petal flowers punch and Dodz Adhesive Dots Small. Then I added some more flowers with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

13. If required, add some more touches with 3D Foam Hearts and 3D Foam Leaves dipped in Micro Glitter.

And here are some additional views of the box.

Neat and Tangled Blog Hop Day 5- You Are Awesome Card

Posted on June 27, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello! Welcome to the last day of the last day of the Neat & Tangled Blog hop!

My card today uses the Tiny Triangles background and the You + Me set.

I start by stamping the triangles on the upper portion of my card. I also stamp part of my sentiment below where my patterned paper will go- I adhere it temporarily with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable, stamp the sentiment and then secure the strip with E-Z Squares® Refilllable. Just. in. case. 🙂 Stamp accidents happen! 😉

After my patterned paper is adhered, I wrapped a piece of twine around. To adhere my die cut, I always lay it over where it’s to be placed- and then place my 3D Foam Squares appropriately to avoid sitting on the twine. That can look lumpy sometimes.

I then secure my stamped heart cut out with the smaller 3D Foam Square from the pack and finish it off with a few enamel dots.

Welcome to Day 3 of our blog hop with Neat and Tangled!

Hi! Erica here today, and I’m sharing two cards I created using the Kindness Matters stamp set by Neat and Tangled. I created both cards using the Time Traveler Collection by Prima Marketing and adhered my layers of pattern paper together using the MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Neat and Tangled Blog Hop Day 2 – Let’s Chat!

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Welcome to Day 2 of our Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

Hi there! It’s Michele here with Day 2 of the Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

My first card uses an adorable set called, Just Hello. I gave the old fashioned rotary phone a bit of color using Spectrum Noir Markers. I added a bit of Glossy Accents to it as well. I stamped the sentiments on strips of the cream card stock. To adhere the designer paper to the card I used E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable.

I wanted the strips to pop off the card a bit so I used Crafty Foam Tape White. I added a few epoxy dots, a peek of doily, and a bit of string to tie (no pun intended!) it all together!

My next card uses the Fresh Blooms set. I again colored each flower with my Spectrum Noir markers and cut each one out. I covered it with glossy accents and adhered an epoxy dot to its center while still wet. I used the Spellbinder’s dies for the circles and stamped my sentiment directly on the smaller circle. I adhered my flowers to each other and on the edge of the circles using Foam Squares Black Regular to give it dimension.

The Spellbinder’s Beaded circles and designer paper were all adhered using, E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable. I added a bit of satin ribbon and string to finish off the card.

Neat and Tangled Blog Hop Day 1 – Hello, Beautiful Card

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Welcome to Day 1 of our Neat and Tangled Blog Hop!

It’s Kelly Klapstein here to share a fun card I designed using a couple of cute Neat and Tangled stamp sets. If you aren’t familiar with this wonderful line of stamps, then you should be!

I used these two sweet stamp sets: “Fresh Blooms” and “Kindness Matters”

On my block, I arranged 4 separate stamps to create a flower. I really like the versatility of these mix and match stamps.

I decided to use the row of hearts stamp as a fun grassy border.

After adding the “Hello, Beautiful” sentiment, I took out my markers and had some fun. It’s so easy to colour in the lines with these stamps

After some colouring, I added my 3D Foam Garden Shapes.

I altered the watering can with silver foil and the droplets with blue foil.

Then I attached this piece of paper to my pink card base with Crafty Foam Tape.

I just love the whimsical styling of these stamps!

DIY Paper Bead Jewelry Tutorial

Posted on June 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello Blog Readers!

It’s Angela today and I have a tutorial to create a DIY paper bead with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12.

DIY Paper Bead Jewelry Tutorial by Angela Ploegman

What you will need:

How to Make a Paper Bead:

DIY Paper Bead Jewelry Tutorial by Angela Ploegman

1. Select a patterned paper (lighter weight papers work best) and adhere an Adhesive Sheet – 12 x 12 to the wrong side of the paper.

2. Cut the patterned paper into long triangles – I used a 1 inch wide triangle on the wide edge and kept the length at 12 inches.

3. Dip a thin dowel in baby powder (this will deactivate the adhesive that comes into contact with the dowel).

4. Starting on the wide edge of the patterned paper, roll the the triangle of paper onto the dowel, adhesive side in). Remove from dowel.

5. Sand the bead to shorten and smooth the layers. This also creates some color contrast. You could distress further with inks, but I chose not to.

6. Wrap the distressed bead in another Adhesive Sheet 12 x 12.

7. Return the bead to the dowel. Dip adhesive covered bead into some Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE). Heat to set. While still warm, dip a second time into the UTEE. Reheat and redip until the UTEE wants to drip off. Rotate the bead while it cools to keep a smooth surface.

8. Remove bead from dowel and finish with jewelry making supplies.

ENJOY! Thanks for stopping by today!
