New Year Notebook

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today and sharing with you a decorated notebook.

This is a special notebook to record your resolutions for 2014, a place to keep lists, notes and all that you intend to do.

I purchased a regular bound notebook from my local supermarket. DCWV – Juniper Berry paper is adhered to the front using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips -Refilliable. That’s 15m of adhesive – a lot of craft projects!

I chose to highlight my book title using a 3D Foam Frame covered in script washi tape. Really simple to do and took only a few minutes to complete.

Some twine, charm and beads are the finishing touches, applying a Regular 3D Foam Square keeps the charm perfectly in place.

Thank you for joining me today – happy crafting.

Christine

Supplies used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable, 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular, 3D Foam Frames

Happy New Year, on behalf of everyone at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®, we wish you a wonderful 2014!

The 3D Foam Pennants are covered in gold glitter and silver embossing powder.

A Happy New Year Card

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Kelly Klapstein

Happy New Year!

It’s Kelly Klapstein here with my last project for 2013. Can you believe the year is over? This is a card I designed to celebrate the occasion:

I created the fireworks using glitter glue and 3D Foam Stars:

First, I made these lines with the silver glitter glue, and then I added some glitter to my 3D Foam Stars:

I used Crafty Foam Tape to pop up the design on the silver glitter card stock background:

I placed the stars randomly around the ends of the glitter glue lines to create the fireworks exploding effect:

I love how the silver stars pop against the black card stock!

Wishing you all a sparkly and happy New Year!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star – Festive Tree Ornament

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Asia King

Hello again, so lovely to see you visiting us today. Did you have a good Christmas? Did Santa bring you lots of pressies?

It’s time for another inspiration with Asia King. I am still in a festive mood so I’d like to share some more Christmas tree ornaments I made using fabulous products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. If you’ve missed my Photo Corners bauble, be sure to check it out here :). Today I’m playing with the 3D Foam Stars.

You will also need: Styrofoam stars, white acrylic paint, metal embellishments, decorative pins, burlap string and Stampendous glitters: Crystal Micro Glitter, Gold Micro Glitter and Champagne Crushed Glass Glitter.

1. Start by painting your Styrofoam star with white paint and while the paint is still wet sprinkle it generously with the Crystal glitter. Allow to dry. Once dry, brush off the excess glitter.

2. Decorate the biggest foam star with the glitters. Alternate the colours by peeling the protective layers one by one. Use the chunky glass glitter for the biggest layer.

3. Cut the star out of the sheet leaving a 2mm border all around the shape. The border will make it easier to handle the star during the next step.

4. Adhere the glittered shape to the Styrofoam star by peeling off the bottom protective layer. Adhere each arm carefully and press on the star gently to ensure all parts are fully adhered.

5. Next peel off the protective sheet from your 2mm border and cover the foam with the Crystal glitter.

6. Add metal embellishments and secure them with burlap strings and decorative pins.

And here are a couple of other ideas for your star ornaments.

Supplies:

3D Foam Stars

Stampendous glitters: Crystal Micro Glitter, Gold Micro Glitter and Champagne Crushed Glass Glitter

Metal embellishments: Tim Holtz Idea-ology Findings – Ornate Plates, Making Memories Wedding Ribbon Sliders.

Other: Styrofoam stars, white acrylic paint, burlap string.

Thank you for your visit today and since this is my last post for this year, I’d like to wish you all a fantastic New Year 2014, full of joy and crafty power!

Big crafty hugs

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your family from all of us at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!

One last Christmas card today, which seems fitting because I think I kicked the season off! I used my Crafty Power Tape to create stripes. Once I removed the backing, gold embossing powder was poured over. Then it was gently burnished into the adhesive and heat set. The stamped and embossed panel was mounted to the card base with 3D Foam Squares White Regular.

thanks for stopping by!

Plaster Tablet – Winter Decoration

Posted on December 22, 2013 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today with a lovely winter decoration.

It’s a little plaster tablet for the wall or to stand up. For my motive I used paper from Basic Grey and the tea cup stamp from the “The scent of winter” stamp collection I designed for Whiff of Joy , also the little pinecone. I decorated them with Designer Shapes Snowflakes, Stars by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l and glitter.

To create a 3D effect I used the 3D Foam Squares for the cups and the pinecone.

Thanks for visiting! Have a nice day!

Creating a Textured Background Tutorial – You’re a Rare Find Card

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Angela Ploegman

Hello Saturday crafters! It’s Angela today, sharing a technique that I use a lot, particularly with clean and simple cards to create some visual interest-a textured background from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheet and tissue paper! You can see the technique used on this card:

Creating a Textured Background Tutorial - You're a Rare Find Card by Angela Ploegman

To recreate this unique winter card, here are the steps:

1. Cut a 4 x 5.25 inch rectangle from white card stock.

2. Apply the Adhesive Sheet to the smooth side of the card stock (if textured).

3. Crumple the tissue paper and then spread flat on your work surface. Remove the card stock rectangle from the Adhesive Sheet and place adhesive side down on the tissue paper. Flip over.

4. Tear the excess tissue paper down and away from the edges of the card stock. Sand any uneven pieces off the edge with sandpaper or a nail file. Round the corners.

5. Using 3D Foam Squares, mount the textured piece to a 4.25 x 5.5 inch top folding card base.

6. Stamp and emboss the image and sentiment stamp. Color the image. Use the smaller of 2 nesting circle dies to cut out the image.

7. Cut the larger circle die from coordinating patterned paper. Adhere the image to the patterned paper with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips adhesive.

Autumn Layouts – Lawn Fawn Day 5

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Stephanie Schütze

Welcome to the blog hop with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® and Lawn Fawn!

It’s Stephanie here today and I made two layouts with the wonderful Lawn Fawn “Into the Woods” collection for this blog hop.

1) Layout Traditions

Our family tradition is to look for acorns, woods and chestnuts zu tinker little wood-manikins from it. For this layout I used the wonderful paper collection “Into the Woods” and matching sequins and buttons from Lawn Fawn. You can also see some Designer Shapes Leaves from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l with added brown glitter from Stampendous.

2) Layout “Hello”

I used a little Keepsake Envelopes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® to put some color matching sequins in it. I’m so in love with the envelopes. They comes in different sizes, perfect to keep some memories together with the layout.

For these layouts I used following supplies from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®:

3D Foam Leaves, 3D Foam Squares, Keepsake Envelopes, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips

Lawn Fawn Blog Hop Day 4 – Candy Cane Treat Box

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, this week we are hopping with Lawn Fawn, I couldn’t wait to use their adorable stamps to make something festive! I chose to create a little box to house candy canes, these would look good nestled in your Christmas tree or labelled as table favours.

To create the open top box I scored a piece of green card and cut small notches in one end for box folds.

To assemble I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

To create the box decoration I used the tag from the Lawn Fawn stamp set – Winter Gifts. Stamped in brown onto kraft card and then a sentiment in red. I tucked the tag under a strip of patterned festive paper.

For the all important Christmas sparkle I sprinkled embossing powder over 3D Foam Stars and heat set them. These look lovely layered together.

The finished project – simple and festive and full of treats to eat!
