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)

A Lucky Shamrock Card

Posted on March 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly here, and although I’m not Irish, I do enjoy the festivities of St. Paddy’s Day! Here is a fun card I designed for this VERY green occasion:

Here are the supplies I used for this card, which include 3D Foam Hearts for the Shamrock and NEW 3D Foam Butterflies and Garden Shapes.

After adhering the layers of my card base together with my E-Z Squares™, I used four 3D Foam Hearts and green glitter to create the shamrock.

For the stem of the shamrock, I simply cut a piece of 3D Foam from the side of the Hearts sheet.

Add green glitter …. and ta daaaa! A lucky 4-leaf clover appears!

I added a couple of 3D Foam Butterflies and covered them with a lighter shade of green glitter.

To attach my “Good Luck” banner, I used Crafty Foam Tape.

As you can see by the roll above, I go through a LOT of Crafty Foam Tape! Love this stuff!!

Wishing all of you a very “lucky” St. Patrick’s Day!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
–Irish Blessing

Fuzzy Easter Bunny

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Kimberly Crawford

Who doesn’t love a fuzzy bunny?! Couldn’t resist with this silhouette and Fun Flock 🙂 Hello, Kimberly here with a card just in time for Easter. Using the 3D Foam Easter Shapes make this card quick, easy, and adorable!

Bunny Card Basics

The card base was layered with patterned papers. I always use E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable to adhere all my paper to projects. Then I cut out a piece of cardstock and stamped upon it with various images. When I adhere panels like this to my cards, I reach for my 3D Foam Squares Regular White.

Fuzzy Details

And now for the darling bunny! I peeled the shape carefully off the backing sheet of 3D Foam Easter Shapes and placed it on a craft mat. Then I generously poured flock over the top. Gently burnishing the into the bunny in a circular motion with my finger, I tapped off the excess. I repeated the same process for the carrot and its top. I love how they are separate to allow you to be creative with each piece!

See below a quick video on How to use 3D Foam Shapes.

Card with Heart

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a Card.

Actually I love to work with old vintage book pages. O love the grip and smell. For this card I also use old book pages and scraps, leftovers from pattern scrapbook paper. I added a bit vintage feeling with Distress Ink at the edges of the paper.
