Merry Christmas Star Card

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Beth Pingry

It’s December and time to get those Christmas cards finished! Here is a fun idea for 3D Foam Stars and embossing powder!

To create the effect where I used 2 colors of embossing powder on the same star I used a ruler and a craft knife.

First I cut around the star to remove it from the sheet of stars. Leave it stuck to the liner papers. I carefully sliced through the top liner to cut it, without cutting all the way through the foam (I did in one spot…a light hand and more practice required!)

This created 10 sections on the 5 point star. Carefully peel off the liner on half of the sections, then apply the first color of embossing powder. Heat just until each section is melted. Wipe off excess from the star.

Tip: I like to pour embossing powder into round coffee filters. There’s no static, and it’s easy to pour the excess back into the container!

Now carefully remove the rest of the liners, add the second color of embossing powder and heat those sections. Tweezers or the tip of the craft knife work great on the tiny pieces!

Create the project to use this on, and then apply the star. Peel the backing off the star and place it on the project. Don’t stretch or pull apart the nested shapes, this takes a gentle hand, but is very doable. Just don’t rush it!

Thanks for coming by and have a great day!

A Christmas Wreath Card

Posted on November 30, 2013 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today, and I’m going to show you how I made this beautiful bow on my Christmas card.

The bow is one of the many wonderful designer shapes included in the 3D Foam Christmas Mix, and the door on the card was created with Spellbinders dies and Core’dinations card stock.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial that shows how I designed the card.

First, I cut out the pieces of the door and adhered the largest piece to the card base using my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable adhesive.

I adhered the smaller door layers using Crafty Foam Tape.

The Crafty Foam Tape gives the door a dimensional appearance.

To create the wreath, I punched out branches from two shades of green card stock.

Then I cut out a wreath base freehand with a hole in the centre, and used Dodz Adhesive Dots to adhere the branches.

I put more Dodz Adhesive Dots on the back of the wreath to make it fuller and bigger.

To create the bow, I used both Zoom! glitter paper and Wow! Fab Foil in red.

First I took off the largest part of the bow protective backing and pressed down the red glitter paper.

Then I peeled off the remaining 3 pieces of bow protective backing and added my red foil.

I love the effect of the foil and glitter together on the bow!

I adhered the bow onto the wreath which was adhered onto my door with Dodz Adhesive Dots.

Of course my door needed a door handle, so I added black glitter to a foam circle from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes.

And I even saved the white bow peeled off backing to use on another project!

The Crafty Foam Tape and the Designer Foam Shapes work so well on cards that I can send in the mail because they aren’t too bulky but still have 3D elements.

I hope you are enjoying making some Christmas cards as much as I am!

Happy Crafting!

Hello all! AJ here to share with you my card for today I used Some Odd Girl’s Everyday Smiles set (which happens to be on sale today!) for my card. I stamped the little arrow pieces up and down on my Kraft card stock layer which I adhered using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Refillable. I then stamped the sentiment and adhered it using 3D Foam Squares. Lastly, I adhered the sequins by trimming a Dodz Small down and adhering to the card.

Make Magic – Some Odd Girl Blog Hop Day 4

Posted on November 28, 2013 by Asia King

Hello Crafty Bloggers! Asia King here with another inspiration project for our fabulous week-long blog hop with Some Odd Girl. Today I am playing with this magical stamp Fairy Magic and I’m wearing my adhesives on the outside to add lots of magical sparkle.

Fairy Girl Some Odd Girl & Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L_by Asia King

I’ve started by stamping the fairy onto cardstock with Black Memento ink. Then I coloured it with SpectrumNoir markers – you can see the steps and marker numbers below.

Next I die cut the image using a die from the Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles set.

Then, while still keeping the image in the die I added a smaller die from the set but this time I used it to only emboss the pattern.

In the next step I kept the biggest die as a stencil and sponged some distress inks around the fairy.

To make the card, I cut a card blank from Core’dinations cardstock. Next I cut a front panel from Crafty Individuals paper book and adhered it to the base with MyStik® Permanent Strips. To embellish it further I added some vintage lace secured with Crafty Power Tape.

I also cut four smaller images from the paper pack and adhered them onto glitter cardstock mat.

This step is so much fun! I dabbed some Boss Gloss over the Ivory Creative Photo Corners and heat embossed them with Vintage Lilac Embossing Tinsel from Stampendous.

Don’t they look so pretty? :). I added the photo corners to my smaller panels.

I wanted the smaller panels to be raised from the base of the card so I popped them onto Thin 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.

Now I was ready to arrange the smaller panels on the card.

My fairy image was mounted onto the regular 3D Foam Squares – White Mix and white Crafty Foam Tape.

I also had a pearl string embellishment which I popped onto smaller foam squares.

On both sides of the card I added butterflies embellished with glitter dots – DODZ 3D and Royal Purple Crushed Glass Glitter.

I also added some coordinating fabric flowers glued with Adhesive Dots Medium.

“Trees” are embossed with white embossing powder and then inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink to make the background.

Finished off with embossing powder and glass glitter on a strip of Crafty Power Tape

Do you make all your Christmas cards the same – or do all different kinds to try different techniques ?

Hello! Latisha here with you on the second day of the hop. Today I am sharing a Holiday card using the Some-Odd-Girl Owl Days clear stamp set. I stamped my image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then continued to color it in using a combination of Spectrim Noir and Copic markers. The hat and owl are two separate stamps, so I colored and then cut them out. I adhered the images to the card using a few different 3D foam supplies. First was the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares (white, regular), and then the Thin 3D Foam Squares (mix-white). Since the pattern paper had a lot of green in the pattern, to separate the layers a little bit more, I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Black Photo Corners.

Adding 3D Foam Squares, give any project great dimension!

Hello! Kimberly here on the first day of the blog hop with Some Odd Girl stamps! This week is going to be a ton of fun with all the cute images and amazing adhesives to hold the projects together!

To give my projects with stamped images some extra pop, I always use my beloved 3D Foam Squares White Small. When you stamp an image onto card stock, trim it out, and then foam mount it to your project, it goes from okay to wow!

On this card I stamped the arrows and the cloud and popped them up with 3D Foam Squares White Small. I did the same thing with the journaling card where the images are adhered.

And for my sequins, I used the oh-so-handy Adhesive Small to keep them in place. For a little tutorial on how to use them, check out this post-Adhering Sequins to your Projects.

thanks for stopping by!

Rolled Rose Tutorial

Posted on November 23, 2013 by Shell Carman

Hi There!

Shell Carman here today with a little tutorial on how to create some cute little rolled roses as you can see in the page above. These are created from scraps of paper and 2 of my fav 3L products Dodz 3D & E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive.

1. Take a scrap piece of patterned paper or cardstock. Using a pencil draw a spiral on the back side of the paper. The bigger the spiral the bigger the rose.
2. Use some scalloped scissors and cut around the spiral. Make sure the scallop is on the outer edges.
3. Turn the spiral over so that the good side is facing up. Ink the outer edges with Walnut Stain ink.
4. Run the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive along the inner edges of the spiral with the good side facing up.
5&6. With the good side still facing up begin to roll from the outside. Keep the rolls nice & tight to begin with then slightly loosen the rolls as you get closer to the middle.
7. Place a Dodz 3D at the end of the spiral
8. Gently press the roll onto the Dodz 3D to keep the rose shape in place.
