WEDDING CAKE

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Flo Teixeira

Hi readers !!! Flo here !
Today I want to present a rather unusual project.This is a box who looks like a wedding cake with a handmade cupcake on top made with paper clay. If you want more information on the clay and molds to make the biscuit I’ll meet you on my blog.

This is how to create this project
First we will make the mini cupcake.

You will use a mini paper cupcake and paint the inside in unevenly in brown.
Add paper to fill the cupcake, secure it with DODZ™ – 3D.
Also create 3 sandwich cookies with paper clay and a mold, colored in black with black acrylic paint.

Using a round cutter, the same size as the mold, make a circle in the brown paper clay previously placed in a pocket.

Introduce this round on the mini paper cupcake with DODZ™ – 3D. Using a brush prick around the edge.

Place on top the fake whipped, biscuit, sugar, and finally some fake chocolate chips made with a sharpened pencil.

Decorate the mini paper cupcake with papers. To do so, calk the template of another mold (previously cut).Stick with MyStik™ Permanent Refill Strips that adapts to the curvatures of the form.

Finally fix on the mini paper cupcake with DODZ™ – 3D.

Let us make the cake.

For that, we recycle a box of cheese and a lid slightly smaller and a pot of embossing powder.

Fixed papers on the boxes with MyStik™ Permanent Strips Refill, and DODZ™ – Medium on the pot.

Finally attach on the large box, in the center, the pot and then the smaller lid on the top with DODZ™ – Medium.

It’ll just decorate with the cupcake, flowers and also a card decorated with Photo Corners – Polypropylene, Black.

Supplies :

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: MyStik™ Permanent Strips Refill , DODZ™ – 3D, DODZ™ – Medium, Photo Corners – Polypropylene, Black .

Hi there, Birgit here today with a summery layout.

A picture of my little nephew in my son’s tent while camping last year. He just loves to play games on electronic devices. Doesn’t matter what as long as it has a screen 🙂

All paper strips were applied using E-Z Runner^{^®}permanent. For the leaves I used a Spellbinders shapeabilities (Foliage). Before cutting the leaves I put the paper on an Adhesive Sheet 4″x6″/10×15 cm so when the leaves were cut out they were stickers and easy to apply to the layout.

For the transparent strip at the bottom I used MyStik™ Permanent Fine.

And here’s a better look on the layout:

Happy crafting!

Bird in Flight Card

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello! I’m back and this time I’m sharing a card with you featuring a beautiful bird in flight, pretty flowers, a heart sealed in an envelope and quite a lot of red!

For the bottom section of my card I created a little banner border by sticking down a line of Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners – I used a ruler to keep them straight. Tip: these are super sticky and because I wanted to use them as a mask and remove them easily, I reduced the stickiness by tapping them onto a piece of fabric first – jeans are good!

Once they were positioned, I sprayed the card (somewhat liberally!) with Glimmer Mist. Wait until dry and then lift the photo corners.

I found this metal heart in my odds and ends box and placed it inside a Keepsake Envelope with a tiny piece of typed backing paper.

Use Crafty Power Tape to adhere ribbon.

To secure the Glitz Design bird die cut and to add dimension, I opted for Crafty Foam Tape.

The flowers and leaves are created from Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms. I attached them to the card using small 3D Foam Squares.

And here is another look at the finished card.

A list of the products I used:

Thank you for your visit today.

Hi, it’s Beth here! You know I love photo corners, today I’m using the Polypropylene Photo Corners in Black. These are self adhesive, they come on a roll, and are just as easy to use as the Classic Paper Photo Corners.

This quick card features Glitz Designs papers. I used the Black Polypropylene Photo Corners for the background layer and the ‘post card’ feature layer. They are smooth textured and shiny, with a reflective ‘bling’ like quality.

Additionally I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips to adhere the layers of papers, and 3D Foam Squares, Black to give dimension to the ‘Postcard’ layer.

Supplies:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:

Photo Corners – Polypropylene, Black, MyStik™ Permanent Strips, 3D Foam Squares Black Variety Pack

Papers: Glitz Designs French Kiss patterned papers, WorldWin Papers Cardstock

Have a great day!

Where have the Years Gone – Vintage Scrapbook Tutorial

Posted on June 29, 2012 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello Everyone, today I have a family heritage layout done as part of my family album. For this vintage layout I used papers from K&Company. The photo is of my Grandfather when he was about 5 years old. He is the one sitting down on the left.

Where have the Years Gone Vintage Scrapbook Page Tutorial by Jane Tregenza for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making a Vintage Scrapbook Page

I used a border and corner punch set to punch all around the page. The trick to get it to go all the way around the page is to make sure your paper is the right measurement before you start. Punch the four corners first then work your way around the page.

Next I cut a piece of print paper to 9 1/2 inches x 9 1/2 inches square. Ink around the edges using Distress Inks and a sponging block.

I used my E-Z Runner® Dispenser Combo set for this project. I used the E-Z Squares®, it as 650 tabs of permanent double-sided adhesive squares. It was perfect for this project as I didn’t want tape all the way around my papers.

To start, cut a piece of cardstock to 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches and inked around the edges. I used the E-Z Squares again and placed three along each side of my cardstock square. I made sure I didn’t put any in the corners as I wanted to add some photo corners. Then I adhered this to my punched print paper in the middle making sure I had it in the middle. On top of this I added my smaller square of print paper.

I lifted up the corners and added my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L product – Creative Photo Corners Black. Because I didn’t put my adhesive tabs in the corners it was easy to add the photo corners this way. I find this easier than adding the four corners to my print paper and then try to get it onto my layout straight and with the photo corners in the right place.

From a spare piece of cardstock I cut a border using my punch to match the border around my page. The punched border has little flowers as part of the design. I turned it over to the back and using my Adhesive Dots Small, I put one over the hole in the middle of the flowers all the way along the border. I then turned it over and added it to a another piece of print paper which I had cut slightly wider than the punched piece.

Next I placed it in some glitter, the holes in the middle of the flowers picked up the glitter and gives my border a sparkle. I shook off the excess glitter.

Crafty Power Tape was added as a strip of tape down the middle of the border. Then I added teal ribbon. I find this the easiest way of adding ribbon to my layouts, rather than putting the tape on the back of the ribbon.

Then I adhered the finished piece to my layout near the bottom of my central print paper.

Paper flowers were used with Adhesive Dots Small between the flowers, as I layer them on top of each other. I placed the finished flower over my ribbon again using my Adhesive Dots again.

A thin striped ribbon was chosen, and cut two pieces the length of my page. I chose a buckle and threaded the ribbons onto it. I used an Adhesive Dot to to adhered the buckle it to the middle of my flower.

Next I stretched the ribbons across my page and fanned them out each side of my teal ribbon. I tucked the ribbons to the back of my center square and used my E-Z Squares to stick the ribbons down.3D Foam Squares were attached to my leaves. I lifted up the petals of my flowers and slipped them under.

To finish my layout, I added my photo using Creative Photo Corners Black. I inked a title from to match my print papers and added it over the photo.

Oh the colours, and the way the layout came together! Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L made the layout so easy. I really do love the photo corners and I use them on just about every layout I do.

Thanks so much for looking

Shopping List

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello again, today I’m back with a pretty shopping list. Grocery shopping can be a chore so to make it a little bit nicer how about a pretty shopping list!

I found a slim notepad that was ideal for a shopping list, it measures 8″ long. I cut a piece of cardstock and patterned paper the same width but 10″ long. I’ve used Webster’s Pages – Everyday Poetry collection.

Score and fold twice so that it wraps over the top of your slim notepad.

Adhere the paper to the cardstock using an Adhesive Sheet.

To ‘glam’ my shopping list I chose to add a line of Craft Foil in gold along the bottom edge – be sure to use E-Z Dots Repositionable® – it allows you to tweak the thin foil until it is exactly right without tearing it.

Flipping the notepad over, firmly stick the flap using Crafty Power Tape, I’ve also used some to attach a magnet. This will hold it very firmly.

I’ve decorated the front cover with more Webster’s Pages – Everyday Poetry and, as a cute final touch, added a small wooden bird. Using E-Z Squares® Permanent there is no chance of it flying away!

And here is the finished item, I think it will make shopping much prettier!

A close up too.

Happy crafting and just before I go here is a list of the products I have used:

Lake Time Canvas with E-Z Dots

Posted on June 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Its summer time at the lake, and it’s almost Fathers Day too! I wanted to make something for my dad to decorate the lake house. I love text and signs, so I put the two together to make this “ON Lake Time” sign.

This project is unique because although I used E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive to create the sign, but there are no E-Z Dots® on the finished product!

This piece is a 10 x 10″ primed canvas. I painted a layer of light blue paint, the thinned it out with water to make the base. Next I typed, printed and hand cut the letters. Die cut letters or a digital die cut machine would work too!

I applied E-Z Dots® Repositionable Adhesive to the back side of each letter.

Next I arranged the letters on the canvas, I used blocks of pink cardstock to make sure things were even and centered. I used E-Z Dots® to hold the pink cardstock in place too!

Once the letters were aligned, I simply removed the pink cardstock. I used a scrap of paper as a mask, with E-Z Dots® along the folded edge, so that the mask didn’t move.

I airbrushed with 4 colors of Copic Markers, from the bottom up to the mask with the lightest at the bottom.

Next, move the paper mask to cover the bottom section, and airbrush the top with the 3 lightest colors. I cut a cloud mask from paper, added E-Z Dots® to the edges and moved it around to create the sky.

I also made a mask of waves to use on the bottom section. Then I peeled off the paper letters, rubbed away any E-Z Dots® from the canvas. I rubbed sandpaper lightly over the surface for a more distressed look. Then I sprayed with clear Glimmer Mist (but should have left the letters on for that, as some of the paint from the first layer bled).

I finished the sides with blue ribbon from my stash, which I attached that with Crafty Power Tape.

Now you can see there are no E-Z Dots® on the finished project! I used them to hold down the masks while I created. Without E-Z Dots®, the papers would have moved, lifted and make a mess.

And it’s off to the lake we go!

Supplies used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:
E-Z Dots® Repositionable, Crafty Power Tape
Blick Studio: Traditional Profile 10 x 10″ Canvas
Copic Markers: B93, B95, B97, B99, Airbrush System
Tattered Angels: Pearl Glimmer Mist
Making Memories: Fresh Anthology Country Blue acrylic paint
Misc: ribbon

Happy Father’s Day!

Vintage Notebook

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, I’m back today with a vintage notebook. I truly love the whole vintage, distressed, shabby chic look and these papers from Glitz – French Kiss collection are absolutely perfect. I selected the pretty bird image from their ‘Whatnots’ and peeking behind this image is one of their ‘Paper Layers’.

To create the notebook I used some Spellbinders™ die templates – Grand Rectangles and Rose Creations. I covered Nestaboard, created inner pages, inserted a binding wire and distressed the edges. I then began to decorate the front cover. To create a dimensional frame for the pretty bird image I used the very useful 3D Foam Squares.

I also chose to use Kraft Photo Corners on the frame, inked lightly – again it adds to that pretty vintage look.

My rose flowers are fixed in place with Mounting Squares. These are initially repositionable – ideal for when I’m trying to make my mind up as to where I want to place my flowers!
