Adorable Reindeer Card

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello, it is Christine here today sharing a very festive card featuring a rather adorable reindeer.

To create my card I gathered together my cardstock, patterned paper and transparency from Simple Stories – Handmade Holidays, die cuts from Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms and Layered Poinsettia. I am using my E-Z Dots® Repositionable – this is so I can rearrange my card design until I am completely happy.

Once I’ve decided on my design I switch to my E-Z Runner® and begin to stick down all my card elements.

For extra dimension 3D Foam Squares are invaluable.

Here is the finished card.

Now all I need to do is put my Christmas tree up! Here is a list of the brilliant sticky products I have used:

For a Christmas Card Swap

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Each year I create cards for a Christmas Card swap with friends from a crafting group. I started my cards, and I thought I would share them!

I’m using the Graphic 45 8×8″ paper pad Nutcracker Sweet. While at first intimidated by the larger images and patterns, I’ve come to love these paper pads, they are actually easy to create with!

On this card I have layered patterned paper with a fussy cut ballerina, a printed label and a printed border. The Visions of Sugar Plums label is adhered with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I added one to the foot of the ballerina then trimmed around it, and then adhered her with 3D Foam Squares. That way the foot was the same height as the body! See how easy this is?

The next card uses regular size 3D Foam Squares for the nutcracker, Thin 3D Foam Squares for the border, and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips for the background papers.

See, anyone can do this, and the cards look great, will go through the mail great (3D Foam products retain their shape!) and will bring holiday cheer to my friends!

Have a great Saturday!

Beth

Christmas In Your Heart

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here! I have yet to decorate my house, but I have started on my Christmas Cards. Today, I have a quick and easy card to show you, on how to add some dimension to your projects, with some of your everyday scrapbook supplies.

Start by creating your card base, in this case it is 3 3/4 inches by 6 inches. I trimmed a piece of white textured card stock to 3 1/2 inches by 5 3/4 inches, and adhered it to my card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner®.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and selected the stickers I wanted to use. I placed 3D Foam Squares White Small on the back of the stickers an applied them to the card.

Finally, I tied a bow using gingham ribbon, and placed a Adhesive Dots Small on the back of the bow, to adhere to the card.

The finished product, quick, easy and oh so cute! With your favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L product, card stock, stickers and ribbon, you can finish your Christmas cards in no time at all!

“Hello New Day” Wall Art

Posted on November 22, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

Today I thought I’d share a new piece of wall art I just finished. I seem to have a little stash of inexpensive frames in my closet. I put photos up for a while and when I’m ready for a change…. it’s easy peasy. I pop the back off, grab some paper and my adhesives and get started.

I use my E-Z Runner^® to put my general pieces together.

When I have pieces that I’m going to machine stitch into place, I use my

E-Z Dots^® Repositionable to hold them in place while I stitch. And I also used it to create that fun little border of glitter.

I just run the dispenser around the edges where I want the border.

Sprinkle some fine iridescent glitter over it.. and then tap off the excess glitter.

And there you have it.

And…. finished and in a frame. A fun inexpensive way to change things up a bit.

Supplies:

E-Z Dots^® Repositionable, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips

Fancy Pants Designs “The Good Life Line”

Clearsnap Glitter

Frame- General

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Peaceful Card

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today to share with you a ‘Peaceful’ card made from the very lovely Authentique Peaceful papers. A simply constructed card of panels of paper but with the pretty addition of Parisian Accents from Spellbinders™

I cut a panel to mat to the base of my card using E-Z Runner® – this is a double-sided strong permanent adhesive so I’m guaranteed my paper will stay in place.

To add dimension to my die cut I used 3D Foam Squares – Black.

To construct my decorative paper panels I switched to MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser – as you can see from the little bit of the handle, I’ve customised mine.

Within a short time I had created a ‘tweet’ little card!

A close up picture.

Thank you for stopping by today. Before I go, here are the brilliant sticky products I have used.

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.
