Happy Birthday Brush Stroke Style

Posted on May 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello!

Today I am sharing a fun little card I created for my own stash. I got some new Avery Elle stamps a while back and finally got a moment to play with them.

Start by stamping your main panel- I stamped the brushstrokes and sentiment in various happy colors. I then punched a small circle from card stock and adhered it using a DODZ™ small. I adhered the button the same way.
I then layered the back of my panel with E-Z Squares® Refillable before securing to the gray card stock.Last, I adhered that panel to the card with Crafty Foam Tape in White. (You could use black since the card stock is darker, I use them both equally 😉 To finish it off, I placed a few gemstones.

enjoy!

Smile, Hello!

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi, my crafty friends! It’s Lisa Adametz here with you today for a quick and easy card that can be given to cheer anyone up or just to say “hello”. I’ve found myself needing way too many of these kinds of cards lately, so it’s always nice to have a bunch on hand.

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-2 I rounded up the patterned papers I wanted to use, embossed a piece of white cardstock, and gathered up all of my adhesives! I also knew ahead of time the colors I was going to work with so the card would take less time. I can ALWAYS add more, right? RIGHT!

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-2 I started by adhering my pattered paper using the MyStik® Permanent Strip Adhesive. I used this to adhere the large polka-dot piece to the black polka-dot piece (as shown below) and also the dry embossed white polka-dot piece to the large polka-dot piece. (Say THAT three times fast!)

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-3

Once all the main panels have adhesive on them I can then add my twine. I wrapped it three times and once tied I want to make sure the bow won’t shift. I do this by using a small Adhesive Dots Small. Such a great product!

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-4

After I had my sentiments heat embossed and punched with a circle punch I was ready to add some dimension. The perfect product for that is the 3D Foam Squares! Since one of my circles is black I chose these: 3D Foam Squares Black, Small. For the other I used the “regular” squares. I like to use the tip of my scissors to put them on. I’m weird that way. 😉

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-5 I don’t take the backings off until I know I have all the elements ready for my card. As you can see in the finished card, I decided to add a few more die cut elements, so by not taking the backings off, I saved myself a little card reconstruction (haha!). I also used the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to adhere tiny strips of black cardstock for added interest.

LisaAdametz-SmileHello-6

So, there’s my little card with all my lovely adhesives! I bet you didn’t know how much adhesive you used on your cards, did ya? 😉

I hope you enjoyed the card today and don’t forget to spread a little love to someone out there who needs YOUR smile.

Memorial Day Thanks

Posted on May 26, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here with you. Today in the United States, we are honoring our Veterans over Memorial Day. My husband is a helicopter pilot in the Navy, and sadly this year we lost too many friends. So today means something a little more this year. I am still trying to find the right words, to help express my deepest gratitude to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Thanks, doesn’t seem like a big enough word, but for now, I would like to thank and give respect to all of our veteran’s who never got to come home.

My project today, is a little gift bag, that could be altered to suit your color tastes, as well as the sentiment.

I gathered the pattern paper and cardstock I was going to use, and then die cut my banners, circle and thanks sentiment.

Using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable adhesive, adhere the red strip to the top of the banner.

Using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (small), adhere the banners together, as well as the circle die cut.

I used the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz Small, to adhere the thanks die cut to the project. Again, I used the 3D Foam Squares to adhere the entire die cut banners to the kraft bag. To finish off, I added some red/white bakers twine, to hold the bag closed.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz™ Small

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares White Small

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable

True Love

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Hi there! Michele here with a card perfect for a engagement, wedding, or anniversary. I used a couple of pretty cuts from Silhouette.

I folded the top layer of leaves to add a bit of dimension and used E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to adhere them to the bottom leaves. I cut the flower using my Silhouette, water colored it and layered the flower using DODZ™ Small. I adhered an SRM sticker to a piece of patterned paper and used another DODZ™ Small to set it in place.

The background was embossed and adhered to pink polka Dot paper using E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser. I added a scattering of sequins to finish off the card.

I love the white space with the pops of lime green and hot pink! 🙂

Have a great day!

Michele

Be Awesome Card

Posted on May 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there! It’s Stephanie Schütze here using three different high quality products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®.

It’s made in a monochromatic way with canvas sheets and different paper.

Here is my tutorial for it.

1 – Here you can see what I used. Choose different paper in a monochromatic color palette, a chipboard, a motive and adhesives for paper, fabric (canvas) and 3D Foam.

2 – Adhere the first paper layer. I chose a chipboard as background and a piece of torn paper. Adhere it with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

3 – Then adhere canvas sheets, vellum and tissue paper using the Crafty Power Tape – 81′. This is super-high tack and translucent, perfect for fabric and vellum and tissue.

4 – Prepare another layered piece of a mix of canvas, tissue and paper and sew around the edges.

5 – Adhere them on the first background using the Crafty Power Tape – 81′ again. Use it also to adhere a little paper frame.

6 – Adhere your chipboard using the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable.

7 – Choose a motive and cut it out. I used a bird stamp from the stamp set “let your dreams fly high” from Whiff of Joy.

8 – Adhere your motive on the top using the Crafty Foam Tape – White. It’s perfect to give it a 3D effect.

Upcycle a Container with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

I’m sharing a project to upcycle a container today. I promise you it is super easy with our Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12″! Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here with an idea for re-purposing empty containers, a perfect project for storing kid’s treats and prized possessions!

How to Upcycle a Container

Measure the dimensions of the container and cut patterned paper to fit. Cut a coordinating strip for across the middle of the container. The strip will be the anchor for our embellishment.

Lift the yellow backing from an Adhesive Sheet 12 x 12″. I love these sheets! They are simple to apply and no extra tools required to cover large surfaces. Adhesive Sheets provide edge-to-edge permanent adhesive coverage. They’re perfect for die cutting and punching too!

Place the cut pieces on the adhesive surface of the Adhesive Sheet, with the right side up.

Replace the yellow backing and burnish the back side of the patterned paper. Remove the paper from the Adhesive Sheet and reinforce the edges with Crafty Power Tape 20′ Refill.

Align and attach the patterned paper to the container. Reinforce all 4 edges of the coordinating patterned paper strip with Crafty Power Tape.

Adhere the strip to the to the container. Use some Crafty Foam Tape White on the tag to adhere it and other embellishments to the container. Use a vertical strip to ensure no curving of the embellishments.
