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.

Adhesive 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!

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

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

Optional 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.
I 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?)

Once 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!
It 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.

See how that looks? I love this card, I hope you do too!
Thanks!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

To finish off, adhere to the panel to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape.

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

DIY Glitter Anniversary Card

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here to share an easy way to make your own glitter card stock. It seems I’m not the only one having a silver wedding anniversary this month, so I decided to combine silver glitter with Adhesive Sheets and card stock to make a 25th anniversary card.

This card stock didn’t start out sparkly, but my Adhesive Sheets helped make it so!

Here is the video tutorial that shows you how I created this…

Happy Crafting!

SUPPLIES: Crafty Foam Tape, Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6, Bazzill card stock, Clearsnap Glitter, May Arts ribbon.

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:

Smile

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun shaker/window card! There is something so fun about an interactive card that is sure to make the recipient “smile!” (Pun totally intended!) LOL!

I used several Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to create this fun card!

I love these Keepsake Envelopes! They are super easy to transform into a shaker!

I pulled out one of the smaller envelopes for my card and also grabbed a clear acetate sheet to adhere it to.

I love that it has a sticky back. I can just adhere it to the acetate with no messy glue!

I wanted to define the edges a bit and give it a pop of color, so I did a bit of sewing with yellow and pink thread. Since I am not generally a very straight sewer, I purposely sewed in a wavy pattern. (Good cover up right?) 😉 I then filled it with sequins I liked and finished sewing the top shut.

I love doilies and can’t seem to stop using them, so I wanted a touch of one at the top of the envelope. I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere the doily to the top.

I wanted to add some leaves to my crocheted flower so I opened up the package of 3D Foam Leaves and gave it a good dose of silver glitter. Because who says leaves have to be green?

I pulled out a sentiment from SRM stickers and placed it on white card stock.

I used the 3D Foam Squares to adhere it to the card.

I cut a window out of my card using a square Spellbinder’s die.

I used the Dodz™ to secure my little embellishments, like the stars and flowers.

Supplies:

Dodz™-small
3D Foam Squares
3D Foam Leaves
E-Z Dots® Permanent
Keepsake Envelopes
Spellbinder’s square die
SRM sticker
Sequins
Acetate
Sewing machine
Doily

Card – For You

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a card using the Keepsake Envelopes and 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Here is a little tutorial how I made it.

1- Use the 3D Foam Creative Sheets with a Big Shot (or other) and a flower die to create a 3D Foam flower. The creative sheets are like paper and the machine cut it very well.

2- Cut the same flower with an old book paper.

3- Peal off the protecting sheet and adhere the paper flower on the 3D Foam Flower.

4- It looks so nice 🙂

5- Fold your paper like an envelope. Cut a matching flower on the right side of cardstock.

6- Adhere the 3D Foam Flower in the middle.

7- Add a heart with a 3D Foam Squares.

8- Add an keepsake envelope for a voucher and put a journal card in it. Finish the card with some splashes black paint and a twine.

Take a look at the dimension of the flower-hole and the 3D Foam Shapes. I love it.

I hope you will give the 3D Foam Creative Sheets a try, it worse it and it’s so much fun!

Hello Blog Readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a masculine love themed card that would be PERFECT for an anniversary, Valentines’ Day or ‘just because’:

Adhesives, Burlap and Hearts - Love Card by Angela Ploegman

I used the FABULOUS Crafty Power Tape 20′ Roll to adhere the burlap to the card front and the equally AWESOME DODZ Adhesive Dots Medium to stick the altered heart piece to the burlap. All the little gold ‘LOVE’ embellishment took to hold down was a few DODZ Adhesive Dots Small. And that’s it!
