Valentine

Posted on February 13, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello to you all.

From the side, so you can see the ribbon.

Today I made a Valentine heart box. It’s made of wood and I started painting it shocking pink! Wauw… what a color!

I drew the outline of the box on the design paper (old Fancy Pants paper “It’s the little things”) and decided to glue it to the box using an Adhesive Sheet.

The Adhesive Sheets are so easy to work with.

To glue the first heart to the design paper I used the blue E-Z Runner®. (Here I show you another heart than you see at the box)

Now I would like to use one of the new Adhesive Hearts-Clear. Hope you can see it, because It’s clear.

I sprinkled some red embossing powder on to the heart.

After I heated it with my heat gun.

Then I began to decorate the design paper with the Adhesive Sheet on the back. I used 3D Foam Squares in two different heights under the birds and Dodz™ Small under the flowers to hold the vines.

When I finished decorating I just removed the protective paper on the backside, and placed it on the lid of the heartbox.

The letters is from Websters Pages collection “Storytellers”.

Have a nice day 🙂

Love Card

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Latisha Yoast

Latisha here, just popping in today to share a fun Love card using the new 3D Foam Hearts. It is perfect for an Anniversary card, or Valentines Day. Plus, I’m demonstrating how to use your adhesive on the outside. Meaning, I’m using the adhesive as an embellishment. Pretty cool right?

Before, I adhered my 3D Foam Hearts to my card, I peeled the top layer of the foam heart off, and sprinkled red glitter over them. I used a fine glitter and it worked perfectly. I made my own little stick pin banners using pins I had laying around, coordinating pattern paper, and then added the hearts. Such a fun embellishment to create. The stamps are from Technique Tuesday, and the pattern paper is Pink Paislee.

Flocking 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi! Its Kimberly here again with the oh, so fun 3D Foam Hearts, just released at CHA-W! These are just too much fun to play with! I am sharing a project from the show, using the 3D Foam Hearts with Fun Flock! A nice masculine touch. Let’s face it, I don’t think the little man would appreciate glittered hearts on his layout!

A look at one of the hearts on the layout. The texture it adds is just awesome!

To cover the 3D Foam Hearts with Fun Flock, simply remove the heart from the sheet and apply to your project.

Remove the backing and generously pour the Fun Flock over the top of the heart. (Use a scrap piece of paper under your project to collect the excess.)

Gently burnish the Fun Flock in to the 3D Foam Heart by pushing it with your finger. Continue to push more into the surface until it is completely covered.

Tap off the excess and voila! And the Fun Flock stays. Beautifully!

Have any other mediums you would like to try on the 3D Foam Hearts? I love all the examples the design team has been sharing! We love wearing our adhesive on the outside!

thanks for stopping by!

Glitter Heart “Love” Card

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Vicki Chrisman

With Valentines Day inching ever closer, I just had to squeeze in one more “lovey” card. lol I think Valentines cards are my very favorite. What is there not to love about pinks , reds, glitter, hearts and chocolate?

The new 3D Foam Hearts are such a addition to any project. On this card, I choose to use the large size with iridescent glitter on it as the focal point of the card. My other main adhesive used was MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser. I also used Crafty Foam Tape under the scalloped topper on the card. The papers are from Fancy Pants Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share.

Something Old, into Something New

Posted on February 6, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello Everyone.
Today I have a cute mini project for you. I love making small projects and this one is on the small side. For this little cutie, you need three old matchboxes. I used three that were a bit bigger than the normal size matchbox. I have made one for Graphic 45 using two of their match boxes. But for this project you can use three old matchboxes. Each one has something different in the draws. I have used Graphic 45 “Little Darlings” print papers.

Cut a piece of print paper the same width as your matchboxes. But leave it the full 12 inches long. Cover the back of it with some Adhesive Sheets, I used the 12 x 12 inch sheets.

Only peel the backing of enough of the adhesive sheets to cover the top of your match box. The sides and base need to be sticky free at this stage.

I used one of Spellbinders oval scallop dies in my Sizzix Big Shot. I chose one that was small enough to fit on top of my match box. Cut out the oval, this will give you an opening on the top matchbox so you can see what is inside.

Once you have cut the oval, place the draw back in and adhere all three matchboxes on top of each other. Peel the backing off the Adhesive Sheet and wrap it up each side of your matchboxes and overlap the print papers on the base of your top matchbox.

Your three boxes should now look like this. Take out each draw and measure the front of each draw. Cut a strip wide enough to cover the front of the draw and about 4 inches long. Use a E-Z Runner® and adhere one strip to the front of each draw, the strip will be long enough to wrap around each side for about 1/2 inch.

Use a pearl brad in the middle of each draw to make a knob. This will let you open each draw. I painted an oval Imaginarium Designs frame with white gesso and I adhered it to the top of the matchbox. It fitted over the oval and gave strength to the top of my matchbox. I adhered three flowers on top of each other and adhered them to the bottom of my frame. I used DODZ™ -Medium for adhering all my flowers together. I punched a leaf out of paper and tucked it under the flower. I had a little mushroom bird and added to my frame, again I used another Dodz. I love the way these little Dodz work so well. They are quick and easy to use and stick just about everything down. I tied a little bow in ribbon and tucked it next to the bird.

I lined each draw using more of my Adhesive Sheets. I find these sheet are great to use. They make the job so quick and easy to use. In the top draw I have a mini tag which I have placed in my draw building it up with 3D Foam Squares – Black, Variety Pack. I used three squares on top of each other. I can’t get enough of these squares, I love them. The small ones are perfect for all the little projects I do and the big ones in the pack for all my larger projects. I must say that the black ones are my favorite.

I even made a mini book for one of my draws. It was quite simple to make. I used a piece of cardstock, I measured the inside of the draw and worked out where to fold it so I got 6 pages folded to make a mini concertina book. I used lots of my scraps of paper, more DODZ to adhere all the little flowers, butterflies and embellishments to my mini book.

Well I hope you feel inspired to have a go making one of these.

Thanks so much for looking

Hugs

Clipboard Glitter Bling!

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today and sharing a project with you featuring the superb new Adhesive Hearts. I’m a little obsessive with being organised – I write many lists and have many pieces of paper so I like to keep things together with a clipboard.

My clipboard definitely needed to look more pretty so glitter bling was in order.

Using Crafty Power Tape I applied strips and then placed patterned paper over the top, it adheres perfectly and firmly.

With the Adhesive Hearts you have an assortment of sizes, I went for the largest size heart. They are sticky both sides. Peel back the blue paper making sure the adhesive heart is stuck to it – you can see from the picture below it has come away leaving just the white paper base behind.

Position the heart where you want it to be.

Then peel away the blue top layer revealing the sticky top surface. In this photo the top layer looks more white than blue but I promise you it is pale blue!

Now you can go mad and sprinkle glitter, seed beads, flocking – all sorts of items.

Tap off the excess to reveal a glimmering glitter bling heart!

My clipboard will never be boring again!

Thank you for joining me today, before I go here is a list of the super sticky products I have used:

In Love with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Beth Pingry

When I found out about the new Designer Shapes I knew everyone would love them, and as we saw at CHA last month, they really do! Today’s card uses 3D Foam Hearts.

The 3D Foam Hearts were punched with a Japanese hole punch to make them look like buttons. Then I removed the top liner and applied Perfect Pearls powder to the top, which gave a metallic look. You can see it closer here:

The rest of the card was created with kraft cardstock and Glitz Design papers and stickers, and silk ribbon. I created a lift in the stickers with 3D Foam Squares behind them.

The papers, ribbon and lace were adhered with E -Z Dots® Permanent. The Silver Photo Corners created a nice frame and metallic accent to the card.

Thanks for coming by today!

You’re Awesome Tag!

Posted on January 26, 2013 by Latisha Yoast

Latisha here today, with a fun tag using up scraps lying around. I grabbed what was laying out on my work table, which was some colored card stock, pattern paper, stamps, Copic markers and adhesive.

First, I adhered my card stock and pattern paper together using my 10th Anniversary E-Z Runner.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored in the stars using Copic markers.

On the back side of my stamped panel, I placed Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D White Foam Squares (small).

I wanted to create little banners that were attached to the stick pins. So, I placed adhesive onto the pattern paper before I folded the paper over the pins. This will ensure that my banners will stay together on the pin.

Before placing the pins on the tag, I placed foam squares on the back side of the banners/pennants. This will help add a little more dimension to the tag.

To finish the tag, I added some May Arts ribbon and Lawn Fawn Trimmings.

Here is the final product. Another tag to put in my basket. I like to keep a basket full of cards and tags for unexpected gifts/occasions. This tag will work especially well for one of my children’s friends (my children are 12 & 16).

Heat Embossing 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi there! Kimberly here with the fabulous new 3D Foam Hearts!! The awesome foam squares we love, now in heart shapes! The package contains various sizes of hearts, which will leave you with lots of creative possibilities!

For my card, I heat embossed each of the 3D Foam Hearts. I started by placing the hearts onto the card base, leaving the top protective sheet in place. Removing the protective sheet from the top heart, I applied embossing powder. It was gently, very gently, rubbed into the heart, and then heat set. I repeated the process for each color of powder. (For those curious; I did attempt to heat them all at once, but it made a big old mess. Powders everywhere. Once I went with the individual approach, it worked brilliantly.)

So much fun to be had with this great new product from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L! Perfect timing for Valentine’s Day!

thanks for stopping by!
