Spring Card for Mum

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine and today in the UK it is Mother’s Day! It is on a different day to the US but I’m trying to convince my family I can celebrate twice! For my Mum, I’ve chosen to make a Spring card.

Using my trusty Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products this did not take too long at all. The background was attached to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape White, the ribbon adheres perfectly with Crafty Power Tape (‘power’ is definitely the key word here – it sticks so many things!) and my flower is positioned with 3D Foam Squares White Small.

My favourite – the finishing touch, Creative Photo Corners Ivory , these look lovely when inked slightly and frame the card beautifully.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the UK Mums today – celebrate by crafting!

Christine

Hoppy Easter

Posted on March 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hoppy Easter everyone! Hello, AJ here to share an adorable Easter card using one of our Designer Foam Shapes, the 3D Foam Easter Shapes. Using flock, I will show you how to WEAR YOUR ADHESIVE ON THE OUTSIDE to create a custom embellishment perfectly fit your project like my card here.

Customizing My Hoppy Card

I just adore how cute this little bunny silhouette from the 3D Foam Easter Shapes is! What a great touch to cover it with fun flock to it and send off to my niece for Easter.

First, die-cut a label shape from Kraft cardstock and stamp “Hoppy Easter” in raspberry ink at the bottom. Place the bunny shape onto the Kraft die cut. Then remove the top liner from the bunny shape and pour a little fun flock on top. Spread it around and press it into the adhesive. Shake off excess and you have yourself a warm and fuzzy bunny!

Adhere a band of white cardstock with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and adhere to the card base. Wrap twine around the band and tie into a bow.

Adhere embellished label die cut to card front with 3D Foam Squares to create a dimensional focal point. So cute! Now off to send to my niece 🙂

Glassine Bag Gift Card Holder

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello Latisha here with you today. I have two teenagers, and it seems like they are always invited to a birthday. My go-to gift these days for kids/teenagers are gift cards. I am always trying to come up with new and easy way to package a gift card. So today, I am using a glassine bag.

Glassine Bag Gift Card Holder by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here are step by step instructions, as well as photos to walk you through this easy way to decorate a glassine bag. I used this for a gift card holder, but you could easily put money in the bag or even some kind of treat.

1. Using the Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L Adhesive Sheets. Trim down card stock, and also part of the adhesive sheet to perfectly adhere over the cardstock. I trim down the sheet so I don’t waste any product.

2. Peel off the backing to the adhesive sheet, and adhere it to the cardstock.

3. The cardstock is now a sticker. Place the die cuts over the card stock, to create scallop circle stickers.

4. Peel off the backing of the die cut, and place it onto the glassine bag.

5. Using scissors, trim off the excess card stock hanging off the side of the bag.

6. Using Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L Dodz Small, adhere sequins to the bag.

7. Add a larger scallop sticker to close the bag shut, tie twine around the bag to embellish.

Quick and easy gift card holder.

Materials Used: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz Small, Lawn Fawn scallop lawn cuts, Bazzill card shop pink card stock, Lawn Fawn sequins, yellow twine, glassine bag

Layered Birthday Balloon

Posted on March 25, 2014 by Kimberly Crawford

Hello! Kimberly here with a fun, and as always, quick card for a birthday. This card will work to send to anyone on your list! Who doesn’t love a red balloon?

After layering my papers and stickers to my card base, I added the balloon shape from 3D Foam Cupcakes. I removed the top backing and then applied red foil to the entire surface. then I added a small star from 3D Foam Stars to the center of the balloon and applied gold foil to it.

For a tutorial on how to use foil with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® check out this tutorial here: Gold Foil on 3D Foam Shapes

Just a side view so you can see all the layers I love to create with my 3D Foam Squares Small White. The first layer of patterned paper, the die cut pennant shapes, the row of candles, the sticker at the bottom, all popped up to add fun dimension!

thanks for stopping by!

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.

Join us all week for the Blog Hop with Quietfire Designs!

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).

angela ploegman thank you card_2 2. Apply an Adhesive Sheet – 4×6″ to white card stock by removing the yellow backing layer and applying the exposed adhesive to the card stock. Burnish the white backing to ensure complete transfer.

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!
