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:

A-Door-able Cards

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth, just home from a family reunion weekend. These are the thank you cards I’m sending to the relatives!

Beth Pingry Door Cards

These A-Door-Able cards are pretty easy to make and are actually inspired by my own red front door.

The tricky part for me was how to embellish the door. I decided on a wreath with ribbon flowers. I die cut a wreath shape with circle dies, then wrapped Crafty Power Tape and ribbon around it. This will securely hold ribbon!

Next  I placed Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Small onto the wreath then layered pieces of leafy ribbon onto them. Then I trimmed excess from the rose ribbon and placed a Dodz™ Small on the back of each rose. I removed the backing and positioned each onto the wreath.

A quick dab with a marker gave the roses some color.

The door plates were die cut from foil, and then I added a black brad as a door knob.

The door panels are rectangle die cuts that I inked and layered with Thin 3D Foam Squares. The give just enough dimension but not enough to be bulky in this case. Then the panels were adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent. I also used that to adhere the red door piece to a folded card.

Love this idea? Want to see more? Visit my blog to see more examples of A-Door-able cards!

Fun with frames

Posted on August 8, 2012 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hi everyone!

Vicki here 🙂 Today I thought I would share with you how I love to use scrapbooking supplies and  frames to create “pretties” to hang and enjoy.   When I saw the Glitz, “French Kiss” line, I knew it was going to be perfect for frame projects like this.  So many fun images, papers and stamps, great for layering.

And mine new adhesive of choice for these projects….  E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

I was having so much fun working with these gorgeous papers and images I couldn’t stop.  I have a stash of frames in a box in my supply closet.  Most of them are inexpensive or something I’ve saved, hoping to re-purpose. This frame below was from the Dollar store. It was gold, so I spray painted it a flat off white.

When I’m layering papers and images for projects like this , I keep 3D Foam Squares .. always with in reach. I love using them for dimension!

And again… one more inexpensive frame.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you are inspired to re-purpose your old frames.

SHABBY CHIC MINI ALBUM

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Flo Teixeira

Hi friends, its Flo here for another post! What a pleasure!!

Right now I want to create with fabric. So I designed a mini album with fabric and butterflies for a shabby chic style.

To create the cover, cut two rectangles out of cardboard. Attach fabric on each cover. Fold on the back side like on the photo and adhere with new E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Add some paper on the right side with E-Z Dots® Permanent and add stitches. We can easily sew it, the adhesive does not interfere with the needle.

To create the inside of the mini album :
If your album is small, cut a length of paper and fold like an accordion to have six sides. If your album is bigger, cut 4 papers like on the photo, creating tabs fold to bind the pages together. Adhere it with E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Attached the ends of the accordion on the covers.

Punch for holes for binding the album with ribbon. Create 2 pockets by attaching the side edges and bottom.


Punch each pocket for easy insertion of documents, photos …


Decorate the edges of the two pockets with butterflies.

For this punch 4 small and 2 large butterflies. Attached with E-Z Dots® Permanent, on the back side of the big butterfly, two smaller previously folded. Attach the two small wings on the pockets.

Finally decorate your mini album using DODZ™ – Medium and E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Supplies :

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: DODZ™ – Medium and E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Prima flowers, Stampin’Up die cuts and Artemio butterfly punch.

Flower Box

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello – Christine here today and I’ve chosen to show you a ‘pretty in pink’ gift box.

The box is created using Spellbinders Square Petal Top Box.  I selected Echo Park – Summer Days paper. Cut/emboss.

Fold on the embossed lines, to make a crisp crease use a bone folder.  Using your brilliant new E-Z Dots® Permanent, apply the adhesive to the flaps and adhere. It works so well, you can apply the adhesive exactly where you want it and you can be sure of a firm hold.

Next, using different colour felts, cut Spiral Blossoms Three.

Roll and apply E-Z Dots Permanent to the middle section, it is brilliant for sticking fabric and felt too!

Cut and attach a length of ribbon, again this adhesive will work perfectly.

To finish attach the three flowers.  A great gift box to be used for a jewellery or a table favour.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Rose is a Rose Card

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Pink roses are among my favorite flowers, but in this drought anything still in bloom works for me!

Beth Pingry Rose Card

Today’s card features a stamped image of roses. I stamped twice onto white cardstock, colored both sets of flowers with markers, then chose the one I liked best. I added 3D Foam Squares to the back side of the image, directly behind the roses only. I fussy cut the flowers.

For the second image, I airbrushed pink around the edges, then trimmed the image closely.

I colored the exposed foam of the 3D Foam Squares with a light pink marker to reduce the contrast between colored flowers and the stamped image. This was done before adhering them to the stamped image.

The second image was mounted onto medium kraft cardstock, which was sanded and inked, and adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

Next, I flipped over the image, adhered the fussy cut flowers to the image and added bling. On the back side I used Crafty Foam Tape at all the corners.

I embossed the larger piece and then sanded the details and inked the edges. I tied a white ribbon around the embossed cardstock, secured it in place and mounted it all onto pink cardstock with E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

I didn’t love the bow I tied, so I added a flower on top of it and secured it with Dodz™ 3D adhesive.

You can see the colored foam on this side view, as well as the dimension from the Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares.

Here’s a larger front view~
