Little Joys Card – Quietfire Blog Hop Day 6

Posted on March 22, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Welcome to the last day of our Blog Hop with Quietfire Designs! This has been a fabulous week of inspiration! Did you have a chance to see all of the posts? You can start with Tiffany Johnson’s post and scroll through the week, enter on each blog!

I took a seemingly holiday themed stamp and used it to ‘delight in the little joys’ of Spring! Here in Chicago the snow is finally melting and the bulbs are peeping out of the ground. I’m counting those as big joys, considering the weather we’ve endured!

I stamped the image onto a pre-cut piece, then mounted it with 3D Foam Squares onto another pre-cut piece of paper (how’s that for fast and easy?) and mounted it all onto kraft and then more patterned paper with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine adhesive. I added Creative Photo Corners in Ivory to the corners.

The pre-made flower is adhered with a 3D Foam Square. The leaves are 3D Foam Leaves with glitter, tucked under the flower.

Incorporating Art Paper into Projects with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Welcome to Day 5 of our Blog Hop with Quietfire Designs!

It’s Angela hosting today and I am sharing a tutorial for how to incorporate Art Paper into your crafting projects using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets. I used the technique to create this Thank You card:

Incorporating Art Paper into Projects with Adhesive Sheets - Thank You Card by Angela Ploegman There is a small art supply store near my house and they have a frequently changing inventory of archival quality art papers….all of which are so very pretty. It got me thinking as to how I could incorporate these materials into my cards and scrapbook layouts. Since some of the papers, like the one shown in the project above are translucent, the right adhesive was key! Turns out, the right adhesive was the Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″. Let’s get started!

Step by Step Instructions

Incorporating Art Paper into Projects with Adhesive Sheets - Thank You Card by Angela Ploegman

1. Gather your supplies. Cut a card base from white card stock (5.5 x 8.5 inches folded to 5.5 x 4.25 inches).

Here’s a close up view of the finished card:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Quietfire Blog Hop Day 4

Posted on March 20, 2014 by AJ Otto

Welcome to Day 4 of our Blog Hop with Quietfire Designs!

Hello, AJ here to share with you today a card using Quietfire Stamps.

My card today uses the Ten Tiny Tag Sentiments set. I love the great little sentiments and the size makes them perfect for cute little cards also!

Start by adhering your patterned paper to the card base using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Because Quietfires stamps come unmounted, I used E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable to adhere the stamp to my block. No foam needed! 😉

After stamping my sentiment, I wrapped string around my card stock layer and adhered it with Crafty Foam Tape.

Next, to assemble the flower, I adhere the first two layers together with Dodz™ Small

Then adhere the the remaining layer with a 3D Foam Square, and another to adhere to my card.

We have a generous prize package worth approximately $60 in Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Quietfire Designs products! To enter you must leave a comment here on our blog.

Quietfire Designs Blog Hop: Day 3

Posted on March 19, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Welcome to Day 3 of our blog hop with Quietfire Design!

It’s Kelly here, and I’m excited to share a card I created using some beautiful Quietfire Design stamps and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. I would say the combination turned out beautifully!

I am in LOVE with these gorgeous deeply etched rubber stamps by Quietfire Design!

I used these 2 stamps sets: “Floral Thank You” (set of 4) and “Butterflies/Dragonflies” (set of 7).

Whenever I make an easel card, I like to design lots of 3D elements, and so my essential adhesives are the 3D Foam Squares and Crafty Foam Tape.

I also stamped one of the smaller Quietfire butterflies onto a 3D Foam Butterfly…. and it looks so pretty!

The pearls are adhered with Dodz™ Medium.

I used the Dodz™ for both the single larger pearls and the smaller pearls in a cluster.

We have a generous prize package worth approximately $60 in Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Quietfire Design products!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Quietfire Blog Hop

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Kimberly Crawford

Welcome to Day 2 of our Blog Hop with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Quietfire Design!

Kimberly here to show you how to showcase the beautiful handwritten sentiments from Quietfire Design using the fabulous 3D Designer Shapes!

Hello gorgeous sentiment, right? Suzanne Cannon writes all the sentiments with her own hand! To attach the non-backed stamp to my acrylic block, I simply used E-Z® Dots Repositionable Refillable. A couple of passes of the runner on the back of the rubber works wonderfully. Once you are finished stamping, simply use a damp cloth of some type to remove the small dots of adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment onto a white cardstock panel in watermark ink, then heat embossed it with white powder. Blue watercolor paints were applied over the top until I achieved the look I wanted. Don’t forget to wipe away any excess watercolor that may pool on the embossed surfaces of the words. It will make the sentiment pop even more.

To highlight the words, I grabbed my set of 3D Foam Frames. I removed it from the backing and placed it at an angle over the wording.

The backing was removed and gold glitter was poured generously over the top. Gently burnish (or rub in) the glitter and remove the excess. Yes, glitter gets everywhere, but a gentle breath or two and a pass over with a paintbrush will remove the unwanted specks.

The sentiment needed real stars too. The smaller stars in 3D Foam Stars were just the right fit. They too were glittered.

Boys Birthday Card

Posted on March 15, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello, Happy Saturday!

AJ here to share with you a fun boys birthday card!

Most boys aren’t too in to all that “stuff” on their card, but who says they don’t like a little bit of flair?

You start by adhering your patterned paper to the card base with E-Z Runner® Permanent Adhesive Refillable.

Next, run a small strip along your smaller banner, and adhere to the larger banner. Tie a small string around into a simple knot.

Again, using E-Z Runner® Permanent Adhesive Refillable, adhere your banner to the card.

Pull a party hat from the 3D Foam Party Shapes and adhere to your die cut. Remove the backing and cover with glitter.

Next, adhere the die cut to the card using a 3D Foam Square.

Easy peasy, and tailor made to the kid!

Products used:

Stamps- Happy-Simon Says Stamp; Ink- Fun Stampers Journey; Crate Paper Boys Rule 6 X 6 pad; stringm Martha Stewart Fine glitter

enjoy!! AJ

You’ve Got Mail!

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. Do you ever feel like random mail/bills/receipts etc seem to take over your living space? Well, I do – and far too often for my liking! :). So today I would like to share a mail/post holder I made to keep our newly redecorated living room in order.

My inspiration came from many projects I’ve seen on the web using old books. I just love the simple shabby chic look of the folded book pages – so I had to give it a try. As the pages support one another, they are perfect as little storage pockets.

First I wrapped the inside covers with the same wall paper that the room has been decorated with. I used 6×12″ Adhesive Sheets which made it nice and easy. I added some tissue tape and some stamping with Hampton Art Word Collage Border stamps. I used StazOn Midi Cloudy Sky ink.

Once I folded all the pages in half, 3-4 at a time, I made several little tabs with Ivory and Silver Creative Photo Corners. I also added a few Keepsake Envelopes for smaller receipts, tickets etc. I tided a piece of ribbon on each flap to make them easier to find.

For my word ‘MAIL’ I used wooden letters, quickly swiped with Mustard Seed Distress Stain. I adhered the letters and a handful of buttons with Adhesive Sheets.

To finish I added a large silver flower and some ribbon, fixed in place with Crafty Foam Tape and DODZ™ – 3D.

Now my incoming post can be organised and beautiful :).

Thank you for visiting today and for all your lovely comments. Have a super crafty day!

Supplies:

6×12″ Adhesive Sheets, Ivory and Silver Creative Photo Corners, Keepsake Envelopes, Crafty Foam Tape and DODZ™ – 3D.

Other supplies:

Stamps – Word Collage Border Hampton Art

Ink – Cloudy Sky StazOn Midi IMAGINE Crafts; Mustard Seed Distress Stain (Ranger Ink)

Embellishments – Prima Marketing, May Arts
