Flowery Birthday Card

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today with a flowery birthday card and matching gift box. I’ve become such a fan of using Creative Photo Corners on my cards, they really give a nice finishing touch.

The papers used are My Mind’s Eye – Now and Then collection. I attached the striped pink paper to the card using MyStik® Permanent Strips, to decorate the green spotted paper I used Creative Photo Corners – Ivory just needed in the two top visible corners.

The stamped tag and flowers are easily adhered with Crafty Foam Tape – White and 3D Foam Squares – White Mix, always handy to have both sizes on your craft desk to suit your embellishments.

You can really see the dimension! The flower is Spellbinders® Create A Gerber Daisy and other dies used are Spellbinders® Romantic Rectangles Two and Classic Ric Rac.

A matching card and gift box comes together with ease with the right adhesives to hand.

Thank you for joining me today and happy crafting!

Christine

Window Card with Dimension

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today to share a fun window card that I made with a just a little dimension and some fun embellishments to make it extra special.

LisaAdametz-BurlapBows-1

1. Create the card base and die-cut the three patterned pieces of paper to be used for the front of the card.

3. Use a circle die to cut circle from front of card base. Adhere to INSIDE of card with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

4. Using a slightly smaller die, cut another circle out of patterned paper and adhere to the inside circle with 3D Foam Squares in Black (they show much less).

5. Stamp a sentiment onto cardstock weight vellum (one of my favorite things to do!) and adhere it to the inside of the front using the Crafty Power Tape, once again. When the card is open it is barely visible.

LisaAdametz-BurlapBows-7

6. Last step? Embellish! With so many options out there it’s hard to choose, but with the paper I used I wanted to use some cheery enamel dots of differing sizes and also the sweet little burlap bows I feel like I’ve been saving for just the right card.

Making a fun dimensional window card isn’t hard if you have the right tools…and the right adhesives! 🙂

Step 1: Adhere pattern paper to card using an E-Z Squares® Refillable tape dispenser.

Caring Thoughts

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a card that was created for a very special girl. She is going through a difficult time in her life, and I wanted her to know that she is in my thoughts and prayers. I used a stencil and various inks to create the background. I adhered the stenciled piece to the card using Crafty Foam Tape-White, to give it a bit of depth.

I added shimmery ribbon and tied it vertically. I added a sentiment from SRM stickers and held it in place with DODZ™-Small. I added some pink ribbon, yellow string, and two little orange posies. I used 3D Foam Leaves. Since they were sticky I just dumped yellow embossing powder over them and heat embossed them. I inked the ends in a bit of orange.

I adhered the leaves and posies using DODZ™-Small.

I was always a card hoarder, and have realized that sending them is more important than collecting them! That is my mission…to send as many cards as I can. 🙂

Supplies:

Dodz™ – Small
3D Foam Leaves
Crafty Foam Tape-white
Stencil
Inks
Ribbon
String
Posies
SRM Sentiment Sticker

File Folder – Wishes

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

today it’s Stephanie here with a file folder for wishes.

Did you see the file folders from Roben Marie Smith? I love her work and felt inspired and created a folder for wishes.

I didn’t had blank folders so I decided to take a paper in A4 size as base, to fold it and then to use a sewing machine to close the paper on the sides.

For the background I used book pages and a piece of watercolor paper and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable. I painted and splashed a bit and decorated a line with washi tape and Ribbon.

I drew the swan with a black pen and cut it out. I adhered the swan with 3D Foam Squares to create a little 3D effect.

To adhere all paper stripes for the titles and embellishments together I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable again.

It was a messy, free style project and I loved the process.

Burlap and Gold Treat Bag Tutorial with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on July 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today and I am still obsessed with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets and the mess free application of gold leafing that they allow! Today I used them to add some shimmer and shine to a burlap treat bag:

Burlap and Gold Treat Bag Tutorial with Adhesive Sheets by Angela Ploegman

Here’s what you need:

Burlap and Gold Treat Bag Tutorial with Adhesive Sheets by Angela Ploegman

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Cut a 5.5 x 15 inch piece of burlap. Press with a hot iron (if needed). Fold in half and press again.

2. Cut an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ lengthwise into 3 strips. I used widths of 1.5, 1.125 and 0.875 inches. Remove the protective backing and arrange on the ‘good side of the burlap bag.

3. Burnish well! Don’t be afraid to use some serious elbow grease here….I used the back and edge of a spoon to burnish…if you are going for an ‘antique’ look and partial transfer, you can burnish a bit less. When burnished to your liking, remove the white sheet and apply the gold leaf.

4. Using a bristle paint brush and a pouncing motion, press the gold leaf firmly into the adhesive. Then remove the excess gold leaf with a circular brush motion.

5. Fold the burlap strip in half, good sides (and gold leaf) together.

6. Stitch the long edges of the burlap together by hand or with a sewing machine (I used my sewing machine).

7. Trim the seam allowances (if necessary) and turn the bag inside out to expose the gold leaf detail.

8. Fill the bag with treats and then tie the bag shut with ribbon and you’re done!

You could personalize the gift bag with a homemade tag if you’d like. I kept mine generic for now as I’m not sure who deserves the honor of my efforts yet!

Super fun and super easy….you could use die cut adhesive sheets to create a polka dot or other custom design!

Thanks for stopping by today!

For Mum Card

Posted on July 19, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi it is Christine here today with a card that I have made for a very special lady…my Mum! To celebrate her birthday I chose a pretty floral card featuring Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers and some special Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

Firstly I adhered the pink backing paper to my cream card base using my personalised MyStik® Permanent Strips (I really like the shape of the dispenser, very comfortable to hold).

I added Creative Photo Corners – Ivory to the top corners of one of the printed cards, remember to ink these lightly for a really nice effect.

The card is beginning to take shape, lots of dimension with Crafty Foam Tape – White. A stamped tag – Spellbinders – Back to Basics Tags.

You can never have enough flowers…. these are Blooms One from Spellbinders. 3D Foam Squares – White, Small fit perfectly on the backs of them.

Here they are on the finished card.

A final touch – two wooden heart embellishments from Freckled Fawn.

I think Mum will like it! Thank you for joining me today.

Birthday Card with Flowers and Layers

Posted on July 16, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth, and I have a birthday card tutorial today. I am always in need of birthday cards, and this is a fun and festive card that’s easy to make. Let me show you!

Start by stamping the sentiment then die cutting the layers with coordinating papers.
Next add adhesives to the back of the layers. I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix because it has a combination of the Regular size (1/2″) and Small size (1/4″) squares.

I added the small around the edges.

I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable on the frame and background papers.
In the center of the sentiment I doubled the 3D Foam Squares, so the center was supported. It will be even with the outside edges of the die cut, because the center of the first layer was cut out (and I saved that piece for another project).

I felt like it needed something in the corners so I stacked up a few paper flowers with Dodz™ Medium, and added the gems with Dodz™ Small.

Flowers need leaves, so I used 3D Foam Leaves covered in glitter. (be sure to blow off excess glitter before taking photos, LOL!) I trimmed one of the leaves with scissors so it would fit the card.

On the background paper I used Creative Photo Corners as a decorative element to frame in the design.

Thanks for coming by today!
