“Put Colors In My Life”

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Flo Teixeira

Hi there! Flo for another post today!
I present to you a page I made with the addition of paint and stencil called ‘Put colors in my life.”
A page that combines 3D elements around the theme of the painting. The selected photo is worked on software to give a violet color and remember the adding of color of the brush.

First I overlaid several papers, fixed with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable Dispenser- 49′ .

I added stitching all around.

Then, I used stencils and relief paste.

I used the E-Z Dots® Repositionable – Refillable Dispenser- to hold the stencil while applying the paint with a spatula.

Finally, I added various decorative elements, attached with DODZ™ – 3D and DODZ™ – Medium.

Other Supplies :

Bo Bunny papers

Prima Marketing and Melissa Frances embellishments

The Crafters Workshop stencil

Hi, it’s Christine from the UK today and even though Valentine’s Day may have been and gone I still cannot stop using the wonderful 3D Foam Hearts! Today’s card is speedy and suitable for many occasions.

I’ve matted some Bella BLVD™ Christmas papers onto kraft cardstock using the new E-Z Dots® from the E-Z Runners® Refillable Family – I fell in love with using these dots when they were first released and now knowing they will be available as refillable is superb!

Using the larger hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts (remember they come in an assortment of sizes within the pack), I’ve peeled off one adhesive side and placed it onto patterned paper.

Trimmed away the paper and a perfect heart embellishment that coordinates with whatever papers I wish to use.

I’ve stamped my sentiment onto a strip of kraft card and applied Crafty Foam Tape to keep it in place and raised up.

A Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Heart cut from Simple Stories paper for the centre and then I began to add lots of hearts including tiny ones that I have heat embossed with copper coloured embossing powder.

A ‘make in minutes’ and ideal for batch making.

Thank you for joining me today and here is a list of the super sticky products I have used.

Fun Stripes Card

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth today! I have a card with fun and easy glitter stripes today, to show off the E-Z Runner®!

I started with a kraft cardstock base. I cut another piece of kraft about 1/4″ smaller on all sides. Then, instead of drawing diagonal lines, I used a scoring tool to make a guide for the lines. I used a ruler to keep the lines straight as I applied the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips across the paper along the embossed lines. I messed up at the bottom, but I’ll cover that up!

I removed the panel from the paper, and then added glitter and tapped off the excess. Then trimmed the excess adhesive from the sides. You can see that I use coffee filters to catch excess glitter, they’re cheap, and it’s easy to pour the excess back into the glitter bottle!

Then I added 3D Foam Squares to the back of the panel, and to the back of the ticket. I wrapped the panel with bakers twine and adhered it to the card base.

Viola!

Thanks for coming by today!

Emboss Resist with Crafty Power Tape

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hello! Kimberly here with a raging case of spring fever! Its time for bright colors and butterflies. The bright yellow mist that I have been playing with inspired me to try an interesting resist technique with Crafty Power Tape.

Start with a piece of white cardstock, cut to the desired size. Start applying Crafty Power Tape in a diagonal pattern, only going one direction to begin with. Remove the backing and repeat, going the other direction.

If you look closely, you can see the pattern created with the Crafty Power Tape. Once all the backings have been removed, apply clear embossing powder and heat set. The embossing powder will take slightly longer to melt on the tape, versus plain cardstock.

Then the real fun begins! Apply the color mist to the cardstock. Gently remove the excess mists with a paper towel.

One last tip for you. I find that cardstock really curls and bends when mists are applied. To keep the cardstock straight when adhered to the project, use pieces of Crafty Foam Tape across the back of the cardstock.

A close look at the embossed resist technique with Crafty Power Tape.

I hope this has inspired you to try different patterns on your next project! Imagine all the possibilities!

You are a Lifesaver

Hi there everyone. Vicki here to share a card with you today. Do you have a person in your life that you just know if you call for a favor, will help you out in a heartbeat? Well, my sis is just that person for me. Just this week she’s taking me and picking me up from the airport, to make things a bit easier for us. She’s always there for me if I need her. I picked her up a little gift and wanted to make her a special card to go with it. I thought this would be fitting.

I used the Fancy Pants “Down by the Shore” collection for this card, and some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives. I thought I’d show you how I used each of these adhesives for the specific jobs I wanted them to do while creating this card. I rarely make a card with out using Crafty Foam Tape or 3D Foam Squares for Dimension, simply because I think dimension adds so much interest. Here I used Crafty Foam Tape to lift the frame from the card.

I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser for my general adhesive for assembling my card.

Since the border I added across the top started on the frame and then ran across the width of the card, going past the raised frame, I used my 3D Foam Squares, to add one to each side to keep the border level all the way across.

Once again…. an adhesive to fit each job perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!

With Love…

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today and sharing with you a ‘With Love’ card featuring the brilliant new 3D Foam Hearts.

I’ve selected a cream card base and then used the very vintage Glitz – French Kiss papers. Matting is perfectly and speedily done using my E-Z Runner® – Permanent.

For my flower centres I used 3D Foam Hearts, the tiny ones – so useful that there is a choice of three sizes for different projects. I applied some silver embossing powder to the sticky surface and heat set, I love the effect – metal like. The flowers are Spellbinders™ Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

The pretty scroll is created with Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. I assembled my card raising my flowers up a little with 3D Foam Squares.

A close up photo of those super little hearts…I truly love them!Here is a list of the brilliant sticky products I have used. Happy crafting!

I Love You Is That OK? – A Shiny Card

Posted on February 17, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Power Blog today!

Birgit here with a shiny card to share.

I know Valentine’s Day was 3 days ago but do we really need Valentine’s Day to tell our loved ones how we feel? Exactly! 🙂

I added Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs straight to an Adhesive Sheet, Adhesive Hearts and 3D Foam Hearts. Let me guide you through the creative process.

First cover a piece of cardstock with an Adhesive Sheet 4″x6″

Then I take a couple of the protection backing pieces of Adhesive Hearts (I hold on to them while creating with the Adhesive Hearts for this purpose) and place them on the card covered with the Adhesive Sheet. This way you create a mask that is easy to remove because of the non-sticky surface.

Cover the card with the Silk Microfine Glitter and tap off the excess. Use a soft brush to remove the left over glitter. First the glitter seems a bit dull and transparent. You have to rub it in with your finger tip and you will create a lovey shine. Best part? There will be no losse glitter left. The receiver of the card will not be covered in glitter after opening the envelope!

Now carefully remove SOME of the hearts (I used a paper piercer to lift them up), sprinkle with a second color of glitter, tap off the excess and rub it in again.

Continue with different colors until all hearts are covered.

When I was finished I thought my card needed some more depth so I added a couple of 3D Foam Hearts and covered them with glitter too.

Then I added my card to a slightly bigger piece of white cardstock using the E-Z Dots ® Repositionable. Perfect for me since I never get it straight the first time. And since I went around the edges of the card with my sewing machine there was no need to use a permanent one. Finally I backed the card with black cardstock and created a sentiment with sticker letters.

Tip: Don’t throw away the protection sheet of your Adhesive Sheet either. You can die cut shapes from it and use them as masks the same way I did with the hearts 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this little turorial!

Wishing you a lovely sunday and happy crafting!

Happy Birthday Hearts

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Beth Pingry

Valentines Day is over, but hearts work for so much more than a Valentine! I took 3D Foam Hearts and turned them into balloons…well, sort of!

Today is my oldest son’s birthday, and he’s spending it at college for the first time, which inspired my card today.

To make the balloons look metallic is I used craft foils, which stick to the 3D Foam Hearts. But first I stamped the words Happy & Birthday, trimmed and added them to the surface of the 3D Foam Hearts. Then the foil, with the desired color side ‘up’, just touch and peel until the 3D Foam Hearts were covered. This is a super easy and fun technique!!

I used bakers twine to tie the balloons, with a Dodz™ Small to hold the knot in place. Kraft Classic Photo Corners add more masculine color, coordinate with the chevron shapes, and also frame out the center of the card.

3D Foam Squares separate the 2 main layers, and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips do the rest!

Thanks for coming by today!

The Best Day…

Posted on February 14, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L fans. Thank you so much for stopping by today on Valentine’s Day. The special day with one of the best opportunity to say to someone special “I LOVE YOU”. For this person I’ve made this “The best day” Valentine’s card. It’s pretty in pink and cream but especially with this Silhouette Cameo cutting word bubble not to girly, I think.

The different ric rac layers are add with the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine only on the bottom on each strip. That guarantees the dimensional look of the card. To add word bubble I’ve used the 3D Foam Squares. That’s one of my favorite way to stick embellishments on projects…

Supplies: E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive, 3D Foam Squares Regular Size, Silhouette Cameo, Scraps of Patterned Paper

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day,

Nina
