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.

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

Pink Graduation Card

Posted on June 1, 2014 by Beth Pingry

It’s graduation season, and you’re going to need a few cards in your stash. This is a fun pink shaker card that can be customized for the occasion with the stamped sentiments.

It’s pretty easy, here’s how I made it, and the adhesives I used:

Cut the card base, the cut the patterned paper layer to about 1/4″ smaller than the base. Use E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable to secure the patterned paper to the card. Die cut the shape into both layers of the card, this ensures that the openings will line up later.

Remove the patterned paper layer, and use Crafty Power Tape to secure a piece of clear plastic to the card front, be sure it covers the die cut hole. I used a piece of page protector for my card. Next, cut Crafty Foam Tape so that it completely encloses the die cut hole.

Fill the hole with sequins, remove the tape liner and add the second layer of plastic. Add some 3D Foam Squares to the rest of the card front – they’re the same height as the Crafty Foam Tape. Add the patterned paper to the card front, lining up the openings.

Add glitter to 3D Foam Pennants and arrange in the card front. Stamp a sentiment onto a die cut and adhere it with 3D Foam Squares to the card.

Thanks for stopping in, and congratulations to all the graduates!

A Chalkboard Card for Teacher

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today to share a cute chalkboard card that you can make for your child’s teacher, thanking her for a year of hard work.

Can you believe it’s the end of another school year? Where does the time go? I know the teachers are probably feeling happy, and maybe the parents are not. Ha ha! I am definitely looking forward to letting my teenagers sleep in, and I will NOT miss making lunches or driving them to school in a rush.

For this card, I used 3 adhesive products.

First, I adhered my chalkboard paper to my card base with my E-Z Squares® Refillable.

After inking a strip of the ‘wood’ patterned paper, I adhered it to the bottom of the chalkboard piece with Crafty Foam Tape so it would look like a ledge.

From the 3D Foam Cupcakes Designer Shapes, I changed a ‘cherry’ into an apple by snipping off the long stem.

Then I coloured the stem brown with ink and added red glitter to make my apple shiny.

I also cut a piece of a ‘heart’ from the 3D Foam Cupcake sheet and glittered it green to look like a leaf on the apple.

Last, I added a little piece of white foam to look like chalk on the ledge and just stamped my sentiment with white pigment ink. That’s it!

I wonder if my daughter’s teacher will give me a Gold Star for this card?

Happy Crafting!

SUPPLIES: Simple Stories papers; Clearsnap glitter and ink.

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
