Get Well Soon Gift

Posted on December 26, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

I am sharing a simple Get Well Soon/Thinking of You gift, to give to a friend or family member or even a neighbor when they might not be feeling so hot. It is a tag attached to a clear bag, with tea bags. It doesn’t have to be Earl Grey Tea, maybe chamomile or peppermint tea, those are nice soothing teas.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Michele here today with a last minute Christmas card! Can you believe it is Christmas Eve already? I am still getting the last of my cards out!  I used this circle die from Lawn Fawn and filled the circles with various designer papers.  I adhered it to the cream panel using E-Z Squares®. 
merry christmasI tied a bow and created the large poinsettia using a die from Provo Craft.  I wanted it to have a bit of sparkle so I gave each petal a thin coating of glossy accents and sprinkled it with glitter.  I attached each of the layers using my DODZ™ Medium.  I added the sentiment and sequins and secured them with the DODZ™ small. 

merry christmas closeI am having a house full today and am looking forward to the time with my family.  Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

 

Winter Sleigh with Crafty Power Tape

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Erica Houghton

Hi! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a winter sleigh I altered using Crafty Power Tape, as well as a step-by-step tutorial showing you how I altered my sleigh!

Winter Sleigh with Crafty Power Tape by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Alter the Winter Sleigh

First, I started by spraying my sleigh with white Gesso. I then traced the sleigh onto several sheets of pattern paper, cut the pieces out, and adhered them to the sleigh with an E-Z Permanent Strips dispenser. Next, I ran Crafty Power Tape along either side of the sleigh and covered the tape with white glitter.

Finally, using Crafty Power Tape and Crafty Foam Tape I decorated my sleigh with trees, flowers, and ribbon.

Lay out a few papers, a backgroundpaper for the door sign (I used a penant shape), a motife and a composition of paper scrap, tag and wordsticker.

Stephanie_doorsign_3

Use the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes and embossing powder to create another decoration elements. I used brown powder for the gingerbread man.

And I used red powder for the mouth of the gingerbread man and a star and circles.

Create a snow feeling with white acrylic paint and a sponge. Let it dry.

Photo Transfer Technique featuring Adhesive Sheets

Posted on December 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Have you tried a photo transfer with our Adhesive Sheets? Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today sharing a Photo Transfer Technique Tutorial featuring Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″.

angela ploegman photo transfer coasters final

First of all, gather your supplies.

angela ploegman photo transfer coasters 1

How to Photo Transfer with Adhesive Sheets

1. Print a reverse image of your photograph large enough to cover your coaster (this step is only necessary if you have text either in or added to your photo).

2. Make a color photocopy of your photo (this keeps the ink from running when it gets wet). Cut off any excess copy paper. Peel back the yellow protective layer from the Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ and place the photo GOOD SIDE down onto the adhesive.

angela ploegman photo transfer coasters 3

3. Burnish the good side of the photo, then remove photo from adhesive sheet. Place adhesive covered photo face up on your work table.

angela ploegman photo transfer coasters 4

4. Align and place a clean coaster face side down onto adhesive covered photo. Flip over and burnish aggressively.

Photo Transfer Details

5. Wet the back side of the photo. Starting in the center, begin to remove the paper with gentle scrubbing. I used a scouring kitchen sponge to gently rub the paper off, but you could use your fingers or even steel wool if you want a more aggressively aged look. Here’s a picture of the paper partially removed:

6. Continue until all the paper is removed. Minimize the additional water you use….too much makes it too easy to rub the entire project off the coaster, not enough and you can’t remove the paper effectively. The photo should look like a slighted muted version of the original when done. While still damp, the photo will cloud over again as it dries).

DRY project (with most paper removed)

7. Let the project COMPLETELY dry at this point. I used a heat tool with no ill effect. Seal with a commercially available spray sealer. Mine was solvent-borne and worked fine provided the project was COMPLETELY dry!

I love the distressed edges on my coasters and consequently, some of the distressing carried through the body of the project. Fabulous!

Peace Wreath – Using Photo Corners and 3D Foam Snowflakes

Posted on December 20, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends, it’s Lisa here! Can you believe it’s almost Christmas?!! I’m so unprepared! But, as is my nature, I’m waiting ’til the last minute to get things done. 🙂 I hope this fun and sparkly card gets YOUR creative juices flowing and gets you inspired.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-1

Isn’t it fun? And I love the color combination. It just makes me happy.

How to Make the Peace Wreath

1. Using circle dies, die-cut a circle to create the base of the wreath.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-2

2. Gather desired glitter colors and 3D Foam Snowflakes.

3. Peel off protective layer from 3D Foam Snowflake and shake Glitter on top. Burnish into the adhesive. Brush away excess. Repeat for as many snowflakes as desired. Including the fun snowdrops!

4. To create the “wreath”, simply adhere the Silver Creative Photo Corners one at a time onto the die-cut circle so that they fit snugly into each other.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-3

5. Attach your snowflakes. (No photo.)

6.  Use small Thin 3D Foam Squares for just a little bit of lift under the wreath. And adhere wreath to card front.

7.  I worked backwards and had already adhered my wreath, so I used the MyStik® Permanent Strips to adhere the card front to the card base.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-4

8. Die cut a sentiment from glitter card stock (leave the die stuck in the square of paper). Then cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets the same size as the size (at least) of your die cut. Remove the yellow release paper and burnish it to the back side of your die cut. The die can then be pull out from the front ready to be adhered.

LisaAdametz-PeaceWreath-59. Embellish the wreath as desired. I added a little sparkly twine and a few extra fun colored pearls. Here are a few close-ups!

A Warm Wishes Shaped Wine Tag Tutorial

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Holidays! With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I’d share an idea to put sparkle into your gift giving. Using the 3D Foam Trees, I put together a hanger tag that will bring a smile to your recipient instead of a boring wine bag.

Warm Wishes Wine Tag by Margie Higuchi

Start with a sheet of 3D Foam Trees shapes. I swiped the liner with anti-static powder to control the glittery mess 🙂

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes2

Went a little crazy on the glitter – just bought a pack of 18 WONDERFUL COLORS! LOL!! Some have tri-color (just tear the liner ⅓ of the tree, add glitter and repeat two more times to achieve the effect) and others have either silver, teal, yellow, etc.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes3 MargieHiguchi WarmWishes4

After I decided which tree to use, I took off its trunk liner and colored it with Stamper’s Big Brush Walnut Brown Pen – I colored two coats (dry between coats).

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes5

For the base I cut/embossed Snowflakes View Die #2 (the smallest die size is #1) with red patterned paper and Die #1 with ivory cardstock.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes6

Stamp the sentiments to the ivory die cut. Add the glittered 3D Foam Trees shapes at the bottom of the stamped die cut.

Tip: to remove the shapes from the sheet of 3D Foam trees, I used my Tool ‘N One.

Place 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular in the back and center on the red die cut.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes7 MargieHiguchi WarmWishes8 MargieHiguchi WarmWishes9To create the hanger part, I cut a 3¾ x 12″ strip of ivory cardstock and scored at 6″ on the long side.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes10About 1″ from the score line, I cut/embossed Standard Circles LG Die #3 to create an opening for the bottle neck. Then I trimmed about ½” from the circle and rounded all the corners to finish the hanger.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes11

I just had add a little texture to the hanger so I used 3D M-Bossibilities™ European Tapestry Folder. Very lightly mist water on the cardstock to soften the fibers and put it through my Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine for a deep embossing.

MargieHiguchi WarmWishes12Add the tag with 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular onto the hanger –  you are ready to give a bottle of wine with a little sparkle for the holidays!

Merry Christmas!!  Tags seem to be the topic as of late, and I have a few more I am sharing that are super fun and cute.

AJOtto-HolidayTags-1

Who doesn’t need a cute tag for all those last minute gifts?  Using the 3D Foam Christmas Mix, and 3D Foam Trees, you can easily customize your tags.AJOtto-HolidayTags-2

Peel back the backing from each tree, and sprinkle glitter over each one.  I have a whole sheet of trees ready to go now.  Repeat with the elements you would like to use from the other sheets.

AJOtto-HolidayTags-3

I simply created a few tags in the 2 12 X 4″ size, trimmed the tops and adhered the patterned paper strips on the bottom of each using Crafty Power Tape.
AJOtto-HolidayTags-4I then punched a circle out of the coordinating paper and adhered to the top using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Attach glittered covered 3D Foam Shape to your tag.
To finish, punch a whole through your circle at the top, and pull some ribbon through.  Wrap twine through the ribbon and strong the bells, one on each sand before tying into a now.
