A 3D Happy Easter Card

Posted on April 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it’s already Easter? If you haven’t made any cards yet, then pick up some new 3D Foam Easter Shapes and get cracking ! (ha ha pun intended)

I created this cute 3D card that works perfectly with the pretty 3D Foam Easter Shapes!

First, I adhered my card layers together using the MyStik™ Permanent Strips.

I also used my 3D Foam Squares to adhere some card layers for more dimension.

Then I created my “Happy Easter” sentiment from the 3D Foam Easter shapes and red glitter.

Here’s a little tip for removing some of the tinier pieces from the foam sheet. Use a sharp tool, like a paper piercer, non-stick scissors … or even a wooden bamboo skewer, like I did.

Take your time and remove them gently … a little patience with these teeny bits goes a long way.

The great thing about these all Designer Foam Shapes is that you can customize them to match your papers with any colour of glitter, flocking, embossing powder, etc.

I dump my glitter on liberally… and then brush it off.

For the three different 3D Foam Easter shapes on the front of the card, I used foil and glitter paper.

I removed only parts of the backing of each shape, so I could add both foil and glitter paper. First, I added foil to parts of each shape:

Then came the glitter paper.

I just love the two-tone effect these products make together.

And that is how an Easter card can come together using awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!

Happy Easter…. and Happy Crafting!

Decorative Jars

Posted on April 12, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here with you today. I’m sharing a really easy way to decorate a treat jar, using the Designer Shapes.

With warmer weather arriving, that means springtime is here. When I hear the word spring, I think of Easter, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Birthdays, Weddings, end of school year gifts. Whether you are just decorating a table in your house, or you need a quick gift to give. Filling a mason jar full of candy, cocoa, coffee, money or flowers is really so easy, and decorating it with the Designer Shapes, makes it that much easier.

Here I filled a jar full of candies, and then wrapped the jar with pretty May Arts trims & ribbons. I chose to use the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Butterflies, I truly cannot resist any kind of butterfly. I carefully peeled of the top layers and added my desired glitter. To layer the butterflies and give them a bit of depth, I used the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam squares, to lift both butterflies up away from the ribbon and each other.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Butterflies

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares small

May Arts ribbon and trims

mason jar

candy

Thanks for joining me today!

Butterfly Box Frame

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine here today with a butterfly box frame. I’m a butterfly addict so when Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® brought out their 3D Foam Butterflies I was over the moon!

For my project I firstly selected a little wooden box frame, one pack of 3D Foam Butterflies and some script paper (Fancy Pants – Swagger collection).

I cut the paper to size and inserted it into the frame behind the glass.

Next I removed the butterflies from the backing paper and placed them down sticky side up. I then covered them with some gilding flakes.

Using a small paint brush, I removed the excess leaving a lovely golden coating.

Next, I cut/embossed foliage – Sprigs from Spellbinders® and Blooms Three.

The 3D Foam Squares – White, Small stick perfectly to glass and you can trim them to fit smaller die cuts.

I added a line of crystal gems to the middle of the gilded butterflies, opted for silver butterflies too.

For the sentiment, I stamped this onto card and adhered with Crafty Power Tape – no problem using this on wood.

The finished project.

And a close up of the beautiful butterflies.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you flutter by again soon!

Easter Bag

Posted on April 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

I want to show you a little Easter Bag.

Here is a little Tutorial how I made it.

1 – I used a bag from a Pocket Book Pad designed by Leeza Gibbons.

2 – It’s just so easy to adhere it together with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

3 – Adhere a old book page with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable again.

4 – Add white Gesso with fingers to blend the text out.

5 – Stamp your image and cut it out with scissors. I used a Duckling as motive I designed for Whiff of Joy . It’s one stamp of the Spring collection “Freshly Hatched” and its available at the 20th of April.

6 – Adhere your motive with E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

7 – Doodle and sketch some grasses with a black pen. If you don’t want to draw you can also use stamps. Grasses is also a stamp on the coming soon Spring stamp set.

8 – Punch a little circle and add a Brad to create a shutter look for the flap.

Now you can add some sentiments or other details. I used some Rub-ons. And now it’s ready to fill it with a coupon or card or little Easter present.

I used my favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

Happy Easter Gift Bag

Posted on April 1, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Easter is on it’s way, and you’ll probably have lots of little bags and baskets full of fun stuff. I made this little Easter bag with the 3D Foam Easter Shapes ~

I started with a mini gift bag and adhered a panel of patterned paper with E-Z Squares® Refillable and Creative Photo Corners in White. Then a white panel, then a purple panel. I die cut the pink piece and the banner.

The eggs and basket and HAPPY EASTER are heat embossed in pastel colors of embossing powder.

Fill up the bag and it’s ready for the Bunny!

Spring Card for Mum

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine and today in the UK it is Mother’s Day! It is on a different day to the US but I’m trying to convince my family I can celebrate twice! For my Mum, I’ve chosen to make a Spring card.

Using my trusty Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products this did not take too long at all. The background was attached to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape White, the ribbon adheres perfectly with Crafty Power Tape (‘power’ is definitely the key word here – it sticks so many things!) and my flower is positioned with 3D Foam Squares White Small.

My favourite – the finishing touch, Creative Photo Corners Ivory , these look lovely when inked slightly and frame the card beautifully.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the UK Mums today – celebrate by crafting!

Christine

Supplies used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Crafty Power Tape, 3D Foam Squares White Small, Creative Photo Corners Ivory, Crafty Foam Tape White.

Hoppy Easter

Posted on March 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hoppy Easter everyone! Hello, AJ here to share an adorable Easter card using one of our Designer Foam Shapes, the 3D Foam Easter Shapes. Using flock, I will show you how to WEAR YOUR ADHESIVE ON THE OUTSIDE to create a custom embellishment perfectly fit your project like my card here.

Hoppy Easter by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Customizing My Hoppy Card

I just adore how cute this little bunny silhouette from the 3D Foam Easter Shapes is! What a great touch to cover it with fun flock to it and send off to my niece for Easter.

First, die-cut a label shape from Kraft cardstock and stamp “Hoppy Easter” in raspberry ink at the bottom. Place the bunny shape onto the Kraft die cut. Then remove the top liner from the bunny shape and pour a little fun flock on top. Spread it around and press it into the adhesive. Shake off excess and you have yourself a warm and fuzzy bunny!

Adhere a band of white cardstock with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and adhere to the card base. Wrap twine around the band and tie into a bow.

Adhere embellished label die cut to card front with 3D Foam Squares to create a dimensional focal point. So cute! Now off to send to my niece 🙂
