Sparkly Grapes With Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by. It’s time for another inspiration from Asia King (that’s me!). Today I’m sharing a Holy Communion card I made for my niece. In Poland, where I come from, the First Communion is always a big event and I wanted my card to reflect this grand occasion.

First Holy Communion_Asia King1

I prepared the base by cutting a 6″x6″ card blank and I added a mat and a (trimmed to size) pearlescent paper panel. I adhered them all with the Refillable E-Z Runner® – Permanent Strips.

For my card I used stamps from Stampendous: Jumbo Grapes and Lily Cross. I stamped them both onto pearlescent papers with StazOn inks.

The Lily Cross image was coloured with Inktense pencils and die cut with Spellbinders die. I adhered the panel to the base of the card with Thin Foam Squares – White.

For the grapes I roughly cut around the image, covered the printed side of the paper with Adhesive Sheet and burnished it thoroughly. Next I fussy cut the image and peeled off the protective sheet to reveal the adhesive. I sprinkled the image with a Crystal Micro Glitter which added sparkle without covering much of the stamped impression underneath.

I also added a handful of Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D to add dimension to a selection of grapes. I covered the DODZ™ with Micro Glitter as well. I mounted the grape bunch over some cheese cloth onto Crafty Foam Tape and Thin White Foam Squares.

To finish I added a sentiment, a few embellishments and some sparkly swirls.

Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!

A Pop-Up Birthday Card

Hello Everyone!  It’s Kelly Klapstein here today to share a fun birthday card I designed using 3D Foam Shapes.

kellyklapstein-birthday-1

After adhering my paper layers together with my E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips Refillable, I added 3D Foam Pennants and 3D Foam Stars to the front of the card, then sparkled them up with some bright red glitter.

kellyklapstein-birthday-2

Inside the card, I created a Pop Up element with a 3D Foam Star and surrounded it with  more red glittery stars of different sizes.

Isn’t that a fun effect?  I just love how the 3D Foam Stars can be used for a huge variety of crafty themes, like birthday, graduation and so on.

Happy Crafting!

Easy Gift Card Holder

Happy Monday y’all, Latisha here with you today.  My daughter is graduating High School in a few weeks.  With that, it means we are being invited to many graduation parties, and receiving Graduation Announcements in the mail.  Which in turn, I need to get a bunch of gift cards and/or money holders.  Today, I am sharing a quick way I turned an envelope into a cute gift card holder.

Easy Gift Card Holder tutorial by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I have a package of Fancy Pants Nautical, Patterned Envelopes & Folders.  I imagine most people who purchase this cute product, most likely use them on scrapbook pages.  I however immediately thought of a gift card holder.  Here are the instructions on how I turned this plain-ish envelope, into a cute gift.

1.  Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots® Permanent, apply adhesive on the backside of the pattern paper (Fancy Pants, Nautical).  Adhere to envelope, trim excess with scissors.

2.  Apply Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape (white) onto the back of the star buttons (Fancy Pants, Nautical).  Adhere to the envelope.

3.  Using Neat & Tangled Swirly Twirly Tags stamp set, stamp the “to” & “from” sentiments in black ink onto the tag (Fancy Pants, Nautical).

4.  Apply Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white) onto the back of the tag.  Adhere to the envelope.

3D Foam Stars Mixed Media Canvas

Please join us in welcoming Lisa Adametz to our Design Team! She’s a talented mixed media artist and we’re so excited to have her with us!!

Foam Stars Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™
Hi everyone! It’s Lisa Adametz here with my very first post as part of the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team. I’m super thrilled to be a part of this team, working with this VERY talented group of ladies, and to work with the fabulous products. I still feel like I’m dreaming. 🙂

A little tiny background on me: I live in the Bay Area of California, but hail from the desert of Las Vegas and will always consider myself a desert rat. I can’t start my day without coffee (who’s with me?!) and have been known to drink it at night, too.  A wee bit addicted. I’m a very proud veteran of the United States Air Force. And while I didn’t retire I loved every single minute of serving this beautiful country. I don’t have kids…I have cats. Oh! And I looooove to get inky, painty, and artsy!

Which brings me to my first project for you. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the amazing 3D Foam Designer Shapes. There are so many fun things you can do with these. I chose to make a canvas:

First, I started by covering my canvas in various colors of Gelatos® using a VERY heavy hand.

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-2Next up I sprayed the canvas with water and allowed the Gelatos® to drip, mix and blend. I used a lower heat Heat Tool to assist in the drying process.

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-3 Once the Gelatos® are all nice and dry (or while waiting!) then it’s time to move on to the “star” of the show, the 3D Foam Stars.

I used tweezers and pulled off the liner of the size of the first star shape I wanted to cover with glitter.

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-5

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-4

Once the first liner paper is removed I can start getting glittery (and messy!).  Since the adhesive is exposed I can shake glitter onto the shape and it will adhere only where I want it. How perfect is that?

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-6

In my opinion it’s super helpful to burnish the glitter into the adhesive. It keeps the glitter from going all astray. And the adhesive really holds it all together! I did this with both of the size stars that I wanted to use.

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-7

(I repeated this step for the other 3D Foam Stars that I used for the canvas, as well.)

I applied the 3D Foam Stars to the front of the canvas. I made a cut in the smaller star so that could intertwine. Due to the strength of the adhesive this cut isn’t even visible.

I typed up a sentiment on my computer and heat set it with clear embossing powder. When I wrapped it around the canvas I knew I needed something with extra holding power to keep in place so I used some Crafty Power Tape to hold it down. Forever. 😉

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-8I added some Lawn Fawn twine on the right side of the canvas and to hold the twine and the bow in place I used my super handy DODZ™ in the small size. I looooove these! Love that they’re on a plastic backing.

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-9

Of course, this being a canvas I could have called it done. But, I didn’t. I wanted to add MORE stars. So I die-cut some teeny tiny ones and then cut a square out of a piece out of my Adhesive Sheets (everyone needs this…seriously!), put my teeny stars on the sticky part, burnished the top layer over them, and I have the perfect adhesive on them. Love this!

LisaAdametz-FoamStars-10LisaAdametz-FoamStars-11LisaAdametz-FoamStars-12Now, if you stuck with me through my VERY long tutorial you deserve a reward, but how about a virtual hug instead? 😉

I hope I’ve inspired you to see your adhesives in a new way!

Create The Shaker Cards

Here is a how I created my little thank you cards. I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and pulled out the black ones.

rainbow step 1

I used a metal die and ran it through my embossing machine.  The foam has adhesive already on it. A I needed to do was pour the glitter directly on it!

rainbow step 2rainbow ste 3

Keepsake Envelopes were perfect for creating shaker cards! They are adhered them directly to black card stock.

rainbow step 4rainbow step 5

I trimmed the excess card stock off and then filled them up with sequins! So fun!

rainbow step 6

rainbow step 7

Tie string around the envelope and used the Adhesive Dots Small to adhere the flower to the center of the bow.

A Little About Michele

I am so excited to share be a part of the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team! Let me tell you a bit about myself.  I am a 5th grade teacher by day and crafting nut at night!  I am married to my high school sweetheart.  We have two children who are now both teens. (Very fun! 😉 We live in a suburb just outside of Chicago.  To add to our busy household we have two rescue pups.

When asked to describe my style, I tend to be more shabby and vintage.  I do like to experiment though and mix things up a bit from time to time! The one supply I could NOT live without is glitter! I add it to practically everything!  I have a philosophy that everything, and I mean everything looks better with glitter!

I am blessed to have worked, and currently work, for some wonderful companies! I hope you have a chance to pop on over to my blog, Thoughts of a Cardmaking Scrapbooker, to see all of my crafty creations.  (Mixed in occasionally with family and dogs!)

About Me Mini Album

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a Mini Album.

Stephanie_Minibook_1It’s for my younger daughter, where she can start scrapbooking with it. Inside are some pattern paper and she can fill it with photos and little drawings. She is now 3 years old and I think it’s time to start. Maybe she will love it like her Mom.

Stephanie_Minibook_2My cover is a handmade colored paper I created with sprays and paint and stamps.

To adhere the paper and the photo I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

For decoration I used a chipboard frame from Wycinanka and a colored feather. The feather is a stamp I designed for Whiff of Joy and I stamped with paint from Chalk Edgers from Ingvild Bolme. I also use the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable  to glue it. It’s perfect for small or delicate elements because the stick glue points well on them.

Stephanie_Minibook_3Supplies from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®:

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

Other supplies:

  • Alpha sticker from Me & My Big Ideas
  • Alpha Stickers from Simple Stories
  • Watercolor paper
  • Spray paint from tattered Angels, Acrylic Paint
  • Feather stamp from Whiff of Joy
  • Chipboard Frame from Wycinanka

Watercolor and Negative Space (and 3D Foam Hearts)!

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today and I’m sharing 2 of my recent obsessions-watercolors and negative space! See both on this card below:

angela ploegman happyI love how watercolors blend so organically in a background and wanted to ensure that color was the star on this card! So, in order to keep the focal point on the swatch of color, I die cut the sentiment from a 3D Foam Heart, removed the letters and adhered to the card base before covering in glitter! So easy! Here’s a close up of the focal point:

angela ploegman happy detail

I got so excited playing, I created a second card using the same concepts:

angela ploegman celebrate detail

The big difference here is I used an Adhesive Sheet – 4×6″ and first die cut a circle shape, and then in a second cut, die cut the sentiment. The adhesive was applied to the card center and then gold leaf was applied. The bottom panel was cut from watercolor paper (that I made myself!) and adhered with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

So much fun! I hope you are inspired to play with your adhesives (and other supplies!) today!

Thank You Card

Today we are so very excited to introduce a new addition to our Design Team, Erica Houghton!  Please join me in welcoming Erica!

Hi!! My name is Erica Houghton and I’m very excited to be joining the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team! My husband and I live outside of Washington DC in Stone Ridge, Virginia. When I’m not working or sitting in traffic you can find me in my studio creating, curled up with a good book, headed out the door for a run, or traveling.

My paper crafting style is shabby-chic – I love glitter, rhinestones, and anything that has glitz, glamour and a lot of sparkle. I’m totally addicted to patterned paper so I’ve resorted to using lots of layers in order to use all of the wonderful papers that come in each collection. I never feel my projects are complete until I’ve added flowers, ribbon and machine stitching. I enjoy creating a variety of projects including layouts, cards, tags, off the page projects and a mini album every now and then.

In addition to creating for various design teams I also enjoy teaching classes at LSS’s because I love sharing my passion for paper crafting with others.

Alright enough about me! Today I’m sharing a card I created using several Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products as well as the Romance Novel collection by Prima Marketing.
