A Cool Dad Card

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here to share a special card for Father’s Day.

I know all our Dads are cool and ride motorcycles, right? If not, you can still add some “cool” stuff to a card to make it awesome, like I did with these 3D elements.

Just grab your Crafty Foam Tape and you’re ready to roll.

Cut the Crafty Foam Tape into strips that run from the bottom corner of your card base diagonally across to the upper corner. TIP: Use non-stick scissors.

Then pour on the silver glitter. Even Dads deserve some sparkle on their special day!

You can see that I did not remove the backing of the one foam strip because I wanted my motorcycle to stick to it.

I also decided to use a 3D Foam Heart below one of the sentiment stickers. So out came the red glitter!

I adhered this whole paper layer to my folded card base using my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

I love the dimensional effect of the 3D Foam Heart!

And I think that silver roadway is pretty darn cool, too!

Now I have to run out and buy a “cool” BBQ for my husband for Father’s Day! I hope you enjoy this special day with the men in your life and have time to make a few cards too!

Happy Crafting!

Thanks a Bunch

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello & happy Thursday, Latisha here with you today, sharing a “thanks” card.

A lot of us make “thank you” cards, but how many of us actually send them? I know I am so guilty of this. Well, since my daughter just graduated High School, the girl is going to sit down, and write out some thank you’s! I ordered some Thank You notes, from the same place we got her announcements, but we are going to need more than the 25 they sent. So its time to create some cards that I can mass produce, but are still cute enough and flat enough that I only need one stamp to send.

It is actually harder that it seems lol.

Here are some basic instructions on how I made today’s card.

1. Cut/score cardstock.

2. Round bottom corners.

3. Trim pattern paper, round bottom corners.

4. Adhere green pattern paper using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.

5. Adhere strip of yellow pattern paper using the same adhesive.

6. Die cut white cardstock.

7. Stamp sentiment in black ink onto the the die cut.

8. Adhere the diecut to the card using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white).

9. Tie a bow using twine.

10. Adhere bow using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz™ Small.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable, Dodz Small, 3D Foam Squares White, Regular Lawn Fawn pattern paper, Lawn Fawn twine, Spellbinders die, corner rounder, Doodlebug Designs pearl dot, Waltzingmouse Stamps, kraft cardstock, white card stock

3D Foam Creative Sheets Mixed Media Congrats Tag

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi my crafty friends, it’s Lisa here with a mixed media tag for you today. I had SO much fun creating this that in hindsight I wish I had video taped it. Next time, okay?

You can DIE-CUT (oh yes!!) the 3D Foam Creative Sheets using your die cutting machine and that’s exactly what I did here. It’s so easy to do and you get really cool results from it!

First step? Die cut your 3D Foam Creative Sheet. Keep the sheet in tact with the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® logo on the back. Then start applying your glitters and patterned papers. I used two glitters (one coarse, one fine) and then used the same die to cut my patterned paper.

See those little parts of the patterned paper hexagons hanging off the edge? Don’t sweat it. Just trim those off when you apply this gorgeous 3D lovely to the tag!

I then quickly painted up a quick background for my tag before placing the die-cut hexagon 3D Creative Foam Sheet piece on there. I also die-cut the word “Congrats” towards the bottom of the tag, too. (See it?)

Then just lay the entire 3D Creative Foam Creative Sheet down (with the backings removed from the hexagons prior to adhering).

And gently pull away the remainder of the sheet from AROUND the hexagons (and trim those hexies now!). Like this:

Remove the die-cut word “Congrats” and turn the tag over. Cut a strip of vellum cardstock to cover. Use the Crafty Power Tape to hold it in place.

All that’s left is to embellish! I like to use the Adhesive Dots Small when adhering my sequins and other items that don’t have a sticky back already. The Adhesive Dots make it super easy since each one come on their own single dot dispenser. You never get sticky dots everywhere!!

Wasn’t that easy? This is a #10 size tag and even though it has a few sequins and some glitter I STILL think it’s neutral enough to give to a man. Maybe? Ha! And the back of the tag can be covered with strips of patterned paper, too, which would make it even lovelier.

Thank you for sharing some of your time with me today.

Hugs,

Lisa Adametz

Hi there! It’s Michele Kovack here with a fun camera shaker card! I love cards that are interactive and shaker cards are the perfect way to do that! I used several of my favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. First I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to create the shaker part of the camera.

I used my circle Spellbinder’s dies to cut my circles from the foam adhesive sheets.

I used the dies to cut the cardstock as well as the acetate. Assemble the camera lens in this order: cardstock, acetate, foam circle. Fill center with sequins and adhere back to “camera lens.”

I wanted to dress up my camera so I used the 3D Foam Butterflies.

I poured some of my favorite pink glitter directly on the butterfly.

To assemble my camera I used E-Z Squares® Permanent – Refillable to adhere all of the layers.

Other Supplies I used:

Silhouette Camera Cut
Sticker from SRM
Glitter from Doodlebug
Satin ribbon from Papertrey Ink
Spellbinder’s circle dies

Copper Foil Anniversary Trio-Photo Display, Card and Vellum Envelope

Posted on June 7, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello Blog Readers!

It’s Angela today, sharing a trio of items I made using ALL of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products and some copper leaf.

The first item in this anniversary trio is a vellum envelope filled with mini envelopes containing love notes.

Copper Foil Anniversary Trio-Photo Display, Card and Vellum Envelope

The large vellum envelope was assembled with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine adhesive. The mini envelopes were sealed with 3D Foam Hearts covered with Copper Leaf. The doily like accents on the outside of the large envelope were die cut from Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12″ and add a perfect finishing touch!

The next item is a photo display created with 3D Foam Squares White Mix:

Copper Foil Anniversary Trio-Photo Display, Card and Vellum Envelope To create this look, I assemble the small and large 3D Foam Squares into a tile like pattern on turquoise card stock. When happy with the design, I removed the top backing from all the squares and applied the Copper Leaf. I tapped the Leaf down with a large paint brush and then brushed away the excess. Die cut water color paper, vellum and some Creative Photo Corners – Black finish this photo display.

Last, but not least is a simple card made with die cut Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″ and some more 3D Foam Squares:

Copper Foil Anniversary Trio-Photo Display, Card and Vellum Envelope The die cut sentiment is a single cut applied to a piece of white card stock. The protective top layer of the Adhesive Sheet was cut at the base of the heart. The backing material from the sentiment was then removed and Copper Leafing applied. The backing material was then removed from the heart and red foil applied. The white card stock piece was then adhered to a white card base with 3D Foam Squares.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Altered Bench with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Erica Houghton

Hi! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing an altered bench I created using Crafty Foam Tape!

Altered Bench with Crafty Foam Tape by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This is what the bench looked like originally…

I started by covering the bench with pattern paper from the Seashore Collection by Prima Marketing. I adhered the paper using the Craft Power Tape.

Once I finished covering the bench with paper, I then began to adhere flowers and other embellishments to my bench using Crafty Foam Tape. The Crafty Foam Tape is absolutely perfect for adhering heavier, dimensional embellishments as it’s strong, sticky, and durable.

Embellishments

A Hello Poppy Card

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi, my wonderful crafty friends. 🙂 It’s Lisa here with you today with an easy, yet beautiful card. When you learn how you can use your adhesives in new ways it’s always more fun to create, wouldn’t you agree?

I’m using an embossing folder in a slightly unusual way. It would seem as though I could (or should) just use an embossing folder and die cut an oval, but here’s the thing…I don’t have any oval dies that are this size and honestly? This works so much easier to get the exact size I need.

1. Stamp image. And create a mask from oval insert of Texture Fade using copy paper and E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Adhesive.

2. Once you have the mask made and cut out you can save this for as long as it will last! That’s one of the best things about using masks. So nifty. But next, is watercoloring the image. This image is from Penny Black and I used Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils to color.
3. Run the Texture Fade through your preferred die-cutting/embossing machine to get the texture and the blank area showing where to place the oval that was just colored.

4. Place plenty of 3-D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the water colored oval and place that on the empty portion of the embossed cardstock. The 3-D Foam Square give the colored oval *tons* of dimension!! I also added two of the Creative Photo Corners in Kraft for added interest.

5. I double wrapped a piece of black hemp twine around the side of the card front, tied it in a bow, and secured it with a Adhesive Dots Small. Love that these are so small, but keep things super secure.

6. To adhere the card front to the card base I chose to use one of my faves: Crafty Power Tape – 81′. It not only keeps the twine in place from the back side of the card front, but it keeps the card front very secure to the card base. (I also love that it comes on a built in dispenser with a cutting function…so cool!) PS – this is prior to the backing being pulled off. I didn’t want it stuck to my hands, hair…cat. 😉

7. I then stamped my cute little sentiment from Paper Smooches and added a few little Doodlebug Pearls. And Ta-Daaaa! It’s done. 🙂

**Please note that even though I stamped my sentiment last with ALL that luscious dimension on it, this is not something I’d recommend you do. You might get a really wonky impression from your stamp.**

See? It’s really quite easy when you have the right products. I hope you had fun seeing my creative process and will try this yourself. Have a wonderful week.

Hugs,

Lisa Adametz

Wishing You Well

Posted on June 2, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine here today and sharing with you a Wishing You Well card. I created this using rectangles of patterned paper and added a nice finishing touch with Creative Photo Corners Kraft. Don’t forget you can ink these too.

The card was assembled using Crafty Power Tape and Crafty Foam Tape White, this added dimension between the layers. The flower is affixed with 3D Foam Squares Small White.

The same design could be used for many papers, swap the flower for a star and change it to a masculine card but don’t forget those Creative Photo Corners!
