Christmas Card Trio

I’m feeling a little retro Christmas love with these fun cards, I made using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L , adhesives and Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage products.

My “go to” adhesives, when card making seem to always be

Crafty Foam Tape for adding dimension to my borders and images…

Crafty Power Tape for attaching ribbon and trims…. and…

E-Z Runner® Permanent Adhesive for all the bigger pieces.

As always, the perfect adhesive for each job!

All Glittered Up!

Posted on November 20, 2011 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth!  Today’s card says Love You, but you can make the design for just about any occasion.  Just change up the stamped sentiment and colors!  Let me show you some of the details.

First I have layers of Blue, Black and Red papers mounted with an E-Z Runner® onto the white card base. I used Classic Black Photo Corners on the red paper and Classic White Photo Corners on the black paper, I love the design they make when stacked.

Next I applied a row of Click ‘n Stick™ White Mounting Squares across the card and added black glitter (Just like Kristen did on the Happy Thanksgiving blog post).  After giving it a good massage I shook off the excess for a nice clean line of sparkle.  Above that I adhered a strip of textured ribbon.

Crafty Power Tape holds the ribbon firmly.  Just above I added a die cut with a stamped sentiment, lifted off the red paper with 3D Foam Squares.  I used the same blue paper as the background, and I used black ink to unify the color scheme.

Change up the colors for the seasons or events and for a fast and fun card!

Supplies:

  • SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L: Essential Adhesive Kit (includes all the adhesives I used on this card!)
  • WorldWin Papers: Cardstock
  • Spellbinders: S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two
  • Waltzingmouse Stamps: Seasons of Love – Tags
  • Quick Quotes: Cherry Truffle paper
  • Sparkle N Sprinkle: Black Glitter
  • Clearsnap: Colorbox Black Pigment ink
  • White Ribbon: unknown

Make your own Halloween Luminary!

Posted on October 18, 2011 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Making your own luminary is easy with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ and some wax paper from your kitchen pantry. In order to make this luminary, I adapted what is known as a 2-5-7-10 box. If you search the internet, you are sure to find directions to making a 2-5-7-10 box. For this project, I will explain what I did to adapt it so that you can make your own!

Halloween Luminary DIY by Kristen Cohen for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started by cutting a piece of wax paper to 8 ½ x 11.  Place the paper in landscape orientation, and from the left to right, score at 2”, 5”, 7” and 10”.  Turn the paper vertically, and then score at 2” and 7”.  Then, cut as noted in the photo:

You should be left with something that looks like this:

Next, I applied Crafty Power Tape to a strip that I had border punched.  I adhered this to what will be the bottom of the bag.  This will provide a little extra stability and help the bag to retain its shape.

Then, before I assembled the box, I adhered the little spider decoration.  I used the E-Z DOTS® Permanent to easily apply little dots of adhesive to those tiny delicate legs!

I folded up the box and adhered the flap with more Crafty Power Tape.

The last step is to close up the bottom flaps (yup, you guessed it! More Crafty Power Tape!!)

Once it is assembled it looks like this 🙂

The final step is to add a little tag to announce it is officially, PARTY TIME!  Just slip a battery-operated tea light inside the luminary, turn it on, and you are good to go!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

Vellum on Vellum on Steampunk!

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Beth Pingry

Today’s post for the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ and Graphic 45® Blog Hop is a vellum on vellum card I created with the Steampunk Debutante collection.

Vellum Adhesive solution by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L I die cut the focal point image, then stacked it onto layers of die cuts, with black cardstock and then coordinating Steampunk Debutante papers.  Each layer is adhered with Crafty Foam Tape.  The Crafty Foam Tape adds dimension, and allows me to cut the tape to the exact size I need.

The vellum die cuts in the shapes of gears are adhered with E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive.  I adhered the pieces then trimmed them to fit the vellum card base.  They stick without showing adhesive lines or falling off.

A Christmas Past Ornament

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Beth Pingry

Today’s SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ and Graphic 45® Blog Hop item is an ornament I made using the 8 x 8″ pack of Christmas Past paper and images.

The ornament starts with five die cut shapes.

Ink the edges, score each down the center vertically.  Then apply adhesive to one half of the back side.  I used Crafty Power Tape down the score line, and then a few Click ‘n Stick™ Mounting Squares around the edges.

The simply match up the shapes and adhere back to back to make a dimensional ornament.  I added a piece of bakers twine to use as a hanger.  I dangled a plastic bead at the bottom of the ornament and added three of the same shaped images back to back below the main ornament.

I added a cone bead to the top, and then tied a bow to it.  I will loop the top of the twine so I can hang it from the tree at Christmas time.

I took the ornament one step further, buy die cutting another set of images in a smaller size, then adhering them inside the folds, giving the ornament an additional layer.

The possibilities are endless for this type of ornament, any shape, pattern or image will work, and you can embellish with any beads or bows or baubles.

Spools of Creativity…

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth. First, we must establish that I can’t sew my way out of a paper bag. But I have this odd obsession with all things sewing. Recently I bought a set of five vintage wooden spools, and this is what I’ve done with them.

Spools of Creativity by Beth PingryI love (sigh) the Curtain Call papers (and well, all of the papers) from Graphic 45. The patterns lend themselves to so many different projects, with a nice mix of patterns and images in many sizes.

I gathered the many sizes of wooden spools I had and started trimming, wrapping and winding the different patterns.

The paper is easily formed and holds it shape, so I only needed a few spots of E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive on each spool. The toppers, which include a button, a metal embellishment and spiral turned wire, are held in place with the new Crafty Foam Tape.  The Crafty Foam tape allows me to cut the exact size I need!

Supplies:

  • SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: Crafty Foam Tape, E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive
  • Graphic 45: Curtain Call Papercrafting Paper
  • Karen Foster Design: Page Pin Ups Baroque Black 5″
  • Artistic Wire: Black and Silver wire
  • Darice: Craftwood 1/2 x 5/8″ wood spools
  • Lara’s Crafts: 5/8 x 3/4″ wood spools
  • Crafts Etc: 3/16 x 7/8″ wood spools
  • Other: Vintage Wood Spools, various sizes, button, twine, cotton cloth

Sparkly Photo Corners on a Gate Fold Card

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Beth Pingry

It’s Beth again, and I’m back with another Creative Photo Corner idea. Seriously, who knew they were so versatile? Let me show you how I used them to enhance this gate fold card.

Sparkly Photo Corners on a Gate Fold Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Gate Fold Surprise!

This gate fold card opens to reveal the large car image on the inside center panel. It can be used to write a message to the car loving guy in your life. I used images from the Graphic 45 “A Proper Gentleman” to embellish the inside and outside panels. Some of the images fold with the card, and have dimension from 3D Foam Squares.

Sparkly Photo Corners on a Gate Fold Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3LMost significantly, the Photo Corners align at the center when the card closes.

Sparkly Photo Corners on a Gate Fold Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3LThe Photo Corners were positioned so that the adhesive ‘back’ sides were facing up, and the ‘tab’ part is adhered to the inside flap, then covered with the patterned paper.

The exposed adhesive on the Creative Photo Corners was covered with embossing powder.  Quick work with the heat tool set the powder to a glossy and sparkly finish.

Next, I used 3D Foam Squares to add dimension to several pieces. For additional height and dimension, notice that I stacked the 3D Foam Squares on top of each other.

For a more stealth look, I could have used Black 3D Foam Squares, which would have blended into the background better. Hindsight is 20/20 you know!

The zig-zag look of the Photo Corners along the opening of the card adds an unexpected element to an ordinary card.

Trendy Frame Technique with Photo Corners

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Beth Pingry

It’s Labor Day weekend in the US, and many of us have the day off. I hope you are enjoying the long weekend!

Trendy Frame Technique with Photo Corners by Beth Pingry Today’s project features the three of the products in the Adhesive Value Pack.

Making the Chevron Frame

I started with the Photo corners in both black and white. I layered them around the outside of a piece of cardstock, which was cut the size of the Graphic 45 image, plus the width of one photo corner, on both sides.  (When the image is added, only half of the photo corners are visible.)

Trendy Frame Technique with Photo Corners by Beth Pingry

Next, I started in one corner and layered the photo corners, alternating colors, placing the point of one into the V of the other.  I tucked the ‘end’ under the previous line and trimmed the excess.

Trendy Frame Technique with Photo Corners by Beth Pingry

The texture and alternating colors of the photo corners create a unique design.

Once I had the frame made, I adhered the Graphic 45 “The Magic of Oz” image with 3D Foam Squares, and then used Mounting Squares to attach the frame to a black cardstock mat.

‘Magic Slippers’ comes from a sheet of paper in the same pack, I  matted it to black cardstock with 3D Foam Squares

Then I added a pair of ruby slippers, colored with a Copic atyou Spica Pen in Lipstick Red.  To give the slippers more lift, I stacked 3D Foam Squares so the slippers sit higher than the words.

Assemble the images to a card base with Mounting Squares. It’s that easy!

The Adhesive Value Pack includes a variety of adhesives at a great price!

These are the supplies I used to create this card:

  • SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: Adhesive Value Pack
  • Graphic 45: The Magic of Oz (Emerald City, Journey to Oz, Munchkins, There’s No Place Like Home)
  • Copic Marker: atyou Spica Glitter Pen, Lipstick Red
  • Black cardstock

Enjoy the holiday, and thanks for stopping by!

The image was adhered to the mat with MyStik™ Permanent Strips adhesive.  The Mat was adhered to the layered card using 3D Foam Squares.  A flower, a little bling, a fun die cut edge and some silk fabric finish off the card.
