Love Me Card

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine here today sharing with you a fun Valentine’s Card!

I knew I wanted a heart and what better than 3D Foam Hearts. There is a choice of three sizes in each pack and I chose the largest to use on my card. Using one side that is sticky, I placed it onto patterned paper, perfect for using up your smaller scraps of paper.

I trimmed around the heart and inked the edges, a speedy pretty 3D heart embellishment.

For my card I used some natural woven card from DCWV. Perfectly adhered to my card base using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

A Keepsake Envelope is positioned to the middle.

I printed a photo of my dog Bella onto some printable canvas and placed this inside the Keepsake Envelope.

The finishing touches are a small key attached to twine with a bow.

The sentiment is from Spellbinders® and is Celebration die.

The 3D Hearts are so useful and not just for Valentine’s. I keep a permanent supply on my craft desk. Thank you for joining me today, happy crafting!

3D Foam Butterflies Card

Posted on February 1, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Good Saturday Morning! It’s Beth, and I’m sitting here looking at yet another round of snow. I am so ready for Spring!

Today I’m sharing a card I made with the new 3D Foam Butterflies.

The 3D Foam shapes are the same awesome foam in the 3D Foam Squares, now cut into shapes for you to use and embellish, we call this technique “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside”. For this one I used a gem, then covered each butterfly with glitter.

I hope you take a look at the new sets we introduced at CHA, they are so cute and I can’t wait to start creating with the rest of them!

Take a look at this video to see the shapes and learn more

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

A Valentine Layout

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today, and I’m going to share some “love” on the Crafty Power blog….ha ha! Valentine’s Day is one of my FAVOURITE days of the year!

Here are my two sweet girls when they were little. Sigh. Those of you with teenaged daughters know what I’m talking about! Framing their two cute faces is a 3D Foam Frame, which has been heat embossed with a soft pretty pink embossing powder that has gold flecks in it.

The 3D Foam Hearts are all heat embossed with the same embossing powder that I used on the frame.

The 3D Foam Hearts come in 3 different sizes and I used all three.

The sequins are adhered with small Dodz™ and I used my E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips Refillable to layer the papers and heart doily.

Who can resist all the pinks and reds on Valentine’s Day? Now it’s time to make some cards!

Happy Crafting!

Love, Kelly Klapstein (aka Kelly Creates)

SUPPLIES: BoBunny papers; Stampendous embossing powder; unknown doily; Kuretake pen.

Sparkly Valentines treats

Posted on January 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello-AJ here to share with you a Valentine ensemble using many of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L’s awesome products!

All Valentines need a card, right? I started by adhering my white card stock to the card base with E-Z Runner® Permanent Refillable. I then added a few Photo Corners in Kraft to my striped patterned paper before adhering it to the card using Crafty Foam Tape.

The 3D Foam Wings are covered in glitter and placed behind the die cut, which is popped up with 3D Foam Squares, and is finished off with a red glittered 3D Foam Heart.

To finish off my ensemble, I created a tag with a sparkly die cut created using the Adhesive Sheets, and a wrapped candy bar covered with more red glittered 3D Foam Hearts.

After die cutting with the Adhesive Sheets, you simply pull back and glitter. I love how the patterned paper shows through the sparkle still!

Valentine’s Day Decor

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Kimberly Crawford

Hello! Anyone else freezing cold? Me too. Hopefully this heartfelt Valentine’s Day decor will warm you up! I am thrilled to be sharing my CHA artwork from the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® booth!

This ensemble started with this white 4×6 photo frame. Perfect for setting anywhere in your house for a little touch of the season.

The glittery hearts were easy to make with 3D Foam Hearts. I apply my foam hearts to a separate backing piece, pull the top backing piece off and cover in glitter. Be sure and burnish, or gently rub, the glitter into your adhesive to ensure it stays in place. And with these adhesives, it will.

The 3D Foam Wings (these help support Charity Wings. so wonderful.) were begging to be used on this project. Again, I added glitter. How cute are they behind the heart button?

If you aren’t into decorating, how about sending a Valentine to your sweetie?

Knowing I wanted to continue with the glitter look, I created a sheet of glitter cardstock for using on this card. For a tutorial on how to create your own glitter paper, check this out, DIY Glitter Paper.

Then I die cut a panel of white cardstock with my heart/word die template. I die cut the same image again from the glitter cardstock, trimming the word love away. And because I had an adhesive-backed piece of cardstock, it was simple to adhere it in the exact spot.

Using my glitter cardstock again, I cut a strip and notched the end.

My trusty Adhesive Dots Small held all my chipboard and button pieces in place.

And finally, a couple of small candle holders that I thought would be perfect to hold Hershey kisses. Where are the kisses? I don’t know…hides wrappers…

After covering many round objects with paper, and not having much success, I think I have finally figured it out! I applied an Adhesive Sheet to the back of of my strip of patterned paper. Then I adhered it to the container. But before I adhered the end, I added a strip of Crafty Power Tape to the very, very end and pressed firmly. Yes!

I added a strip of Crafty Power tape around the paper and added more glitter. Then another heart, more wings, and a button. It all sounds so easy, but it really was with all these awesome adhesives!

thanks for stopping by!

Ink-less Embossing Technique Tutorial

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello crafty blogreaders! It’s Angela here today, sharing a technique tutorial that I discovered by happy accident! The ‘love’ wood veneer in the title on this layout was embossed WITHOUT embossing ink-quick, easy and mess-free!

Ink-less Embossing Technique Tutorial - Love Scrapbook Page by Angela Ploegman

I worked on this layout at an all-day crop and didn’t have access to all of my supplies. Most importantly, I had forgotten my (clear) embossing ink at home….luckily I had ALL of my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products with me and was able to improvise with GREAT results!

Tutorial:

1. Gather your supplies….you’ll need Adhesive Sheets 4×6″, a wood veneer piece (I’m using the word ‘fun’ in the tutorial pictures as there was only one ‘love’ in the package I purchased), any coloring media if you want to color the wood veneer (I used a Distress Ink reinker), ultra thick embossing powder, gold foil and a heat gun.

2. Color the wood veneer piece with your selected coloring medium. If you are using a wet ink of some sorts, make sure the veneer is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.

3. Peel back the yellow protective layer on the Adhesive Sheet. Place the wood veneer piece face down on the white sticky side.

4. Replace the yellow protective layer, flip the ‘sandwich’ over and burnish on the white sheet to transfer the adhesive to the wood veneer.

5. Remove the wood veneer piece from the adhesive sheet. Place on a flat surface, sticky side up. Place the good foil on the adhesive and burnish the top of the foil sheet. Burnish unevenly, heavy in some areas, light in others and not at all in some spots to intentionally create an uneven transfer.

6. Return the wood veneer sheet face down on the adhesive sheet and coat with another layer of adhesive. Remove from sheet and cover with ultra-thick clear embossing powder.

7. Heat until the embossing powder melts. While still warm, recover with embossing powder and press into the warm surface. Reheat until glossy and smooth. Let cool.

8. Return the wood veneer piece to the adhesive sheet, this time face up, to apply adhesive to the back of the wood veneer and it’s ready to add to your project!

Quick, easy and CLEAN! I love it when improvising creates an easier way to do things! Here’s a close up of the embossed piece on the layout…it looks like an epoxy accent with the two layers of thick embossing powder!

Rustic Tag

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine here today and sharing with you a Rustic Tag project suitable for both ladies and gentlemen.

I’ve used a regular manilla tag and applied Creative Photo Corners – Kraft to the bottom two corners. Remember these can be inked and stamped as well for a different look.

When you flip the tag over it reveals the sticky side of the Photo Corners but that’s not a problem …

Just cut a slightly smaller piece of card for the back of your tag and adhere. This also creates a little pocket, perhaps for a cash gift or note.

Returning to the front of the tag, I’ve stamped a sentiment – this is from Lawn Fawn – Winter Gifts stamp set. I’ve also cut a small piece of woven paper from DCWV. Attach this with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable – using this makes all projects speedy and with perfect adhesion!

Continuing with decorating the front of the tag I’ve chosen to apply some die cuts – Labels Thirty and Fall Foliage. These are placed exactly where I want them with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.
