Hello, Birgit here with a tag to share today.

In this little project I used 3 different adhesives.

First I created the background using tin foil, a tag, an embossing folder and an Adhesive Sheet 4″x6″/10×15 cm.

Cover the tag with the adhesive sheet and add the tin foil. Roll with a brayer to make sure the tin foil sticks to the adhesive evenly. Cut away the excess foil and emboss the tag.

Color the tag using alcohol inks.

Use DODZ™ – 3D to apply the flowers and the butterfly. Add a strip of Crafty Power Tape at the bottom of the tag. Stick the wire into the DODZ™ – 3D underneath the butterfly and the flowers.

Let the ends of the flower stems rest on the strip of Crafty Power Tape. Then add the tissue paper over the Crafty Power Tape and the wire, folding it to create a wrinkled effect. Finally add the Epoxy text sticker to keep the butterfly wire in place.

And here’s a closer look at the whole tag:

Thank you for visiting the Crafty Power Blog today!

Wishing you a wonderful and creative week!

Football Season!

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Football season is in full swing here in the USA!

Beth Pingry Football scrapbook page

Maybe I should clarify – this kind of football:

The photos are from my son’s 7th and 8th grade seasons. He really enjoyed playing on this team and I selected these fun Jillibean Soup papers to reflect that.

I used E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere most of the paper to paper. It’s easy and fast and holds great. I adhered the blue matted photo with 3D Foam Squares, and created a pocket for hidden journaling. The die cut slides in and out and doesn’t get lost behind the photo.

White Classic Photo Corners sit on top of sticker corners to further highlight the image and to add another element of white without overpowering the page. You can also see where I used 3D Foam Squares to lift the “No One Ever Regretted” die cut from the green circle die cut.

Lets hope the laundry is as fun and easy to do as this page was!

Supplies used:

  • Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®:  E-Z Dots® Permanent, 3D Foam Squares, Classic Photo Corners White

Quick & Easy Photo Envelope

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here, and I have a quick and fun tutorial on how to dress up a photo envelope.  Either to keep for yourself or giveaway, it is a great way to store seasonal photos, just waiting to be put into a frame or scrapbooked.  I am using a die cut that was cut from a Silhouette Cameo using pattern paper.  However, this would work by just using a photo envelope purchased from the store.  What I used was, pattern paper, stickers, twine & adhesive.  Really easy project to complete.

Start by adhering the the envelope shut, I used the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent to adhere all of the sides down.

I cut one of the die cuts out from the Simple Stories pattern paper sheet, and then adhered it down to the front of the envelope.

Using the Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares (regular), I adhered the stickers to the front to give the project a little dimension.

I continued to decorate the envelope with more stickers and twine.

Place pictures into the envelope.

Completed project.  Quick, fun and easy!

Materials Used: Simple Stories pattern paper and stickers, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares Regular, EZ Dots Permanent, Lawn Fawn hemp cord, Silhouette Cameo

Spooky Canvas Tutorial

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Kimberly Crawford

Well, its hard to believe, but I guess its time to start thinking about Halloween projects. Maybe I am saying this because I have a tendency to forget to put out the decor until about a week before the holiday. Not this year! The other day I made a fun yet spooky canvas with adhesive as my helper.

Spooky Canvas by Kimberly Crawford

Start with a blank canvas. This one measures 6″ x 6″. Paint the edges with black paint. Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit and paint the edges of it black also. Adhere the paper to the canvas using E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Die cut a spider web from cardstock. Use E-Z Dots Repositionable adhesive to adhere it to the canvas. The spider web will be used as a mask.

Apply paint over the top of the entire surface. Once slightly dry, carefully peel the spider web off the canvas. Allow to dry completely and then embellish. To add more dimension, I added 3D Foam Squares to the backs of several of the stickers. (For a tutorial on how to use 3D Foam Squares and stickers click here Hi Sunshine. )

Happy Haunting!

Altered Photo Frame

Posted on September 8, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello, Vicki here today.   I thought I’d share with you a frame I altered with some fun papers yesterday, using E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser. I love using this adhesive for altered projects like this.

Of course, paper to paper it holds great..but in this case it was paper to wood, and again great hold. I love that I can get  right to the edge, and if I happen to go over a bit, no problem:)

I used DODZ Adhesive Dots Medium for attaching my embellishments.

Have a frame that needs a facelift?  Some fun papers and a few embellishments with the right adhesive, and you’re ready to go!

A Vintage Page for My Grandfather

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

Hello Everyone

Once again it’s my turn to share one of my projects from “Down Under”.

I have done a vintage page for you. It’s one on my Grandad for a family album I am putting together. I have lots of wonderful photos, but most of them are small and blurry. I decided to do a page to look like an old wall with lots of photos hanging from a picture rail. I found some photos of Grandad take at different stages of his life. I still need to find two more of him when he was older.

I chose two K&Company print papers and cut them to create the “wallpaper” wall. I used my E-Z Runner® to adhere the paper to my foundation page.

On the top part of my “wall” I drew some lines with a pencil and used my Crafty Power Tape – 81’/25m with Built-In Dispenser and added the tape along the pencil lines. I then adhered my ribbon down and wrapped the ends under top edge of the print paper.

I used it again to add the braid ribbon on along the join of my two print papers.

I inked and embossed some chipboard frames from Imaginarium Designs. The large oval frame, I inked first then added some copper embossing powder. The smaller frames, I inked black. For the rectangle frame, I inked it first with green ink and with my finger smeared green perfect pearls on it. I added the photos to the frames and mounted them all onto my page using 3D Foam Squares – Black, Variety Pack

Some more Crafty Power Tape for the ribbon at the bottom of my page and a title to finish the layout. I will do some journaling once I have the last two photos.

You may have noticed I have used my favorite 3L scrapbooking product! – Photo Corners – Classic Style, Black I use these wonderful corners on every scrapbook layout I do. I love the classic look it gives to my work.

An easy layout, with lots of photos, perfect for an Ancestry Album

thanks so much for looking

Floral Box Frame

Posted on September 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it’s Christine here today.  I’ve chosen to decorate a small white box frame, it’s really straightforward and with the new E-Z Dots® Permanent, it is speedy too!

Firstly remove the back and glass from your frame.

Carefully use the glass as your guide to cut a background from patterned paper.  I used Webster’s Pages – Messages to You collection.

Using your E-Z Dots Permanent, adhere the patterned paper to a piece of cardstock, cut to the same size, this just strengthens it a little.

Insert glass and replace back onto frame.  You are now ready to decorate.

I’ve chosen to make some pretty flowers from Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.  You can use your E-Z Dots Permanent because it adheres to tiny areas as well as large.

I’ve placed some 3D Foam Squares – White into the corners of the frame.  This allows me to build up a base for my flowers.

I’ve added some leaves and pearls to the flower middles.

And it is complete – simple, speedy and pretty – a great gift!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I’ve listed the brilliant sticky products I’ve used.

A Colorful Flower Pot

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth today. September 1 signifies the beginning of school, cooler weather and the fall festivities. We’ve had such a harsh, hot and dry summer that I’ve hardly had a chance to enjoy the fruits of summer. I made this as a reminder of what could have been. It is  card size, but you could also frame it as home decor.

The fun part of this card is that I used the Jillibean Soup kit Macho Nacho that is very masculine. I wanted to create something fun and feminine from those papers.

The rolled flowers, leaves and flower pot are all die cuts. The Thank You wooden embellishment is from Jillibean Soup as well.

I inked the edges of all the papers, well, because I love ink and I love the dimension and finished look it provides.

I gave the flower pot a ‘curve’ by slightly rolling the paper then adding Crafty Foam Tape down the center. The sides are held with E-Z Dots® Permanent, as are the layers of background papers. The leaves are bent and held with 3D Foam Squares, and the rolled flowers are adhered with Dodz™ 3D.

Thanks for coming in today. Please leave a comment if you love this!

Happy Birthday Dad

Posted on August 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today and I would like to share with you a card I made for a special man in my life…my Dad!  I selected masculine colours and used Glitz French Kiss Papers and a Cardstock Sticker.   Everything was assembled using the fantastic E-Z Dots® Permanent – it adheres everything perfectly.

I cut/embossed Spellbinders™ Jar Labels and added Foliage.  The sentiment is a rub on that I found in my many drawers of forgotten stash!  I also found this little wooden bird and again, used E-Z Dots® Permanent to attach him to a piece of paper to pop inside a Keepsake Envelope, these envelopes make such a nice finishing touch to projects.

A further shot of the card.  I had to add a little heart too.

I used the following products to create my project:
