Happines Is In The Heart – A Step-By-Step Tutorial

Posted on November 17, 2012 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hi there, Birgit here today with an oldy goldy 🙂

The project I’m sharing is not new. It has been on my blog quite a while ago. But since there are some fun masking techniques in there that might be interesting for you, the Crafty Power Blog readers, I thought I’d share it here with you today.

I created this art journal page using MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser, MyStik™Repositionable Dispenser and Adhesive Sheets 4″x 6″.

If you are interested in how I created this page you can watch the step-by-step tutorial here:

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Glitter Accents and Stamped Images

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi! Its Kimberly and today I am showing a card made with some darling Lawn Fawn stamps, with images popped up by 3D Foam Squares, and a special accent added with 4×6″ Adhesive Sheets.

I thought it would be fun to accent only certain parts of the butterfly with glitter. So the butterfly was stamped twice, once onto patterned paper, and once onto a 4×6 Adhesive Sheet. I stamped onto the white side of the sheet.

You can see the trimmed, patterned paper butterfly on top. Underneath is the Adhesive Sheet butterfly. I cut out only the parts I wanted-the parts that would get glitter.

I removed the yellow backing from the Adhesive Sheet and applied it to the patterned paper butterfly. After gently rubbing the paper, it was lifted off. Sorry for the lousy photo, but I wanted you to be able to see where the adhesive was applied. Then glitter was applied over the adhesive and burnished. The excess was tapped off.

For the rest of the card, the images were stamped onto patterned paper and cut out. The yellow flower and grey leaves were foam mounted with 3D Foam Squares White-Small.

Hope you try adding glitter or flock accents to your stamped images using Adhesive Sheets!

Simple Things Matter Most

Posted on November 6, 2012 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Today I have a layout I have done for my girls. Each month I teach an ancestry class and have done so for over three years. The ladies attending this class each month bring along with them a pad of print papers from K&Company Ancestry range. These papers are double sided and the palette of colours are beautiful. They all mix and match so well. For this project you need:
2 Black cardstocks
Three Print Papers
Ranger Copper Embossing Powder
Paper Flowers
Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Title and Flourish
Ribbons
Bling brad
Tim Holtz Distress ink – Vintage photo
Martha Stewart Deep Edge Punch

And from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®

Crafty Power Tape-81/25M
MyStik Permanent Tape Dispenser
Photo Corners-Classic style, Black
DOTZ-3D
DOTZ-Small
Adhesive Sheets – 12 x 12

Choose one of your three prints to be the foundation page for your layout, ink around the edges and put it to one side. Chose a second print, this need to go on top of the foundation print, so make sure it looks nice and does not blend in too much or clash. Cut this piece to be 10 1/2 inches wide, but don’t cut the high yet. Use your deep edge punch to punch along the bottom edge. Once you have punched the edge, trim the piece back so it is 10 1/2 inches high as well as wide. Ink around the edges.

Cut a piece off your Adhesive Sheet, it needs to cover the punched border. Peal off the backing of one side and make sure you place it on the back of your print paper and not the front.

Use a pair of scissors and trim the excess adhesive sheet from the edge of your punched border.

Peel the backing paper of your adhesive sheet and turn your punched piece over and have a look at the border. The punched out area does not need to be completely filled in with the adhesive sheet, mine is a bit patchy. If too much adhesive has been removed then redo this step again.

Cut a piece of black cardstock to 10 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches wide. Add more tape around the edges of the punched piece. It would be a good idea to add a couple strips in the middle of the print paper. Adhere it to the black cardstock. I used MyStik Permanent Strips Dispenser for this. It always makes the job so much quicker. Carefully press the punched out bit of your print paper onto the black cardstock. Try not to remove any of the adhesive between the punched out area.

Pour embossing powder over the punched area. Tip off the excess powder.

Carefully heat the powder with a heat gun. You should find that the Adhesive Sheet holds the powder while you heat it. The Adhesive Sheet works well in holding the powder in the punched out areas of your border. It gives a distress look to the border as the powder is caught in the punched out areas of your print paper and no where else. As the Adhesive Sheet does not completely fill in the gaps, some of the black cardstock shows through. If you want to have the whole area filled in with embossing powder, then you need to place the adhesive sheet on the black stock and place the punched out print on top of it. Use your finger to rub away any excess adhesive sheet showing past the print paper. This way you should get a complete covering of adhesive between the punched area.

Cut your third print to be 10 inches wide x 9 inches wide. Adhere your piece of black cardstock with the punched print paper to your foundation page. Make sure at this stage you don’t tape it all the way around as you will need to adhered some ribbon on the page of which the ends need to be wrap around to the back of the black cardstock. Adhere your third print paper to your layout. You can adhered this piece down all the way around

Add two Photo Corners-Classic Style, black to the top of your third print paper. I love these photo corners and I use them all the time of everything I do. Now it is time to do the ribbon.

Cut a piece of cardstock to be 3/4 of an inch wide and 10 3/4 long. Add a strip of Crafty Power Tape. I find the built in Dispenser works so well. The tape needs to go along the middle of the black cardstock piece. Add a strip of ribbon to the tape. Turn the piece over and add another piece of the Crafty Power Tape to the middle of it. Add it to your page just above the punched border piece and wrap the ends around to the back of your 10 3/4 x 10 3/4 inch black cardstock piece.

Now its time to add the embellishments. I chose a selection of paper flowers and leaves to match my papers. I used my large Dotz-3D to attach the leaves to my page. These work like a treat, as they are 3d and highly sticky. Layer your three flowers together and use a bling brad to attach them together. I added them to my page with another one of my large DOTZ-3D.

I inked my chipboard black and used DOTZ-Small to adhered them to my layout. The flourish needs to be tucked under the flower. Cut two photo mats and add them to your page. Finally add your title above your photo, all you need to do is add your journaling.

This page went together so easy, using MyStik Permanent Strip Dispenser, Adhesive Sheets, DODZ both 3d and small, Crafty Power Tape with it’s built in Dispenser and of course my favorite, Photo Corners in the Classic Style and in Black. The Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products always makes the job quite quick.

So have a go at using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets and embossing powder and see what you can come up with.

Festive Tag

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today to share with you a festive tag. It is a special time as all this week Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ have combined with Lawn Fawn.

I chose a quick and simple design because at Christmas we do need to make a lot of tags!

Firstly I die cut a reindeer from Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms. I applied E-Z Dots® Repositionable as I’m using the reindeer as a mask.

Positioned my reindeer onto a kraft tag.

I sprayed quite heavily with glimmer mist and removed the reindeer die cut.

To reinforce the tag I applied another one to the back using MyStik™ Permanent.

I chose the ‘Handmade with Love’ stamp from Lawn Fawn and stamped onto cream cardstock.

On the reverse I applied some pretty lace using My Stik™ Permanent.

I then added 3D Foam Squares to add dimension.

Added a twine bow and ribbon.

A close up. Speedy to make and so useful to add to a jar of treats.

Sending Love with Lawn Fawn

Posted on November 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Welcome to Day 4 of the Blog Hop with Lawn Fawn! So much creativity on both company’s blogs, and so many wonderful comments, thanks for playing along!

I am using the You’ve Got Mail stamp set. I have this thing for postage and had to have this set. To me it seemed like it needed to be dimensional, so I decided to make a pop up card on the inside!

The front is the post card image with postage and cancellation marks, with the airmail border. The heart is punched and heat embossed, using Adhesive Sheets to hold the embossing powder, then adhered with Small Black 3D Foam Squares.

Now, for the inside!

I wanted to create a scene where the mailbox was on a sidewalk. First I cut the card to make the pop out, measured to the size of the mailbox. Then I added paper to make the curb, grass and then sidewalk. The message ‘sending love your way’ is in white to make it look like it was written in chalk.

The mailbox was stamped with off white ink, then heat embossed with off white embossing powder. I made 2 then stacked them with Crafty Foam Tape before adding it to the card.

The sky needed something, so I hand cut a cloud from white paper and an Adhesive Sheet, added layers of embossing powder and hung it in the sky.

Here’s another view:

Take a Hike Fall Scrapbook Page

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

I love Fall! The air is cool and crisp and the colors of the changing leaves are just gorgeous. I decided to create a Fall layout using Simple Stories, Take a Hike Collection and my E-Z Squares® for my post today. It’s a photo of our oldest son Weston and our dog Molly taking a hike on the bluff out by our cabin. I love this photo, and couldn’t wait to create a page with it.

Of course I used my pretty pink E-Z Squares for my general adhesive, but…..

I also used it to add a bit of texture and dimension. How? Well, I take one tab from the dispenser like this.

I then cut one end into a “V”, to give it a pennant look.

I then sprinkled embossing powder onto it. ( I don’t heat it), I just leave it as is. If you have Fun Flock or a similar product that works great also.

a fun addition to your page.

I also added a stick to my page. I used DODZ Medium to hold the stick into place and then I added the twine.

I hope you are enjoying your Fall also!
