Photo Birthday Card

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello again, I’m back today featuring a photo birthday card that I created for my mum’s birthday.  It features an original photo of her as a sweet little girl and this is where the Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners proved so useful.  I was able to use them to hold the photo firmly.  At some point if my mum wants to remove the photo she can without any damage.  I’ve also made sure the flowers, swirls and leaves are not attached to the photo by carefully placing them and raising them up with 3D Foam Squares.  The flowers featured are Spellbinders™ Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

Here you can see how the photo corners are virtually invisible.

A final look at the card.

Here is a list of the products I have used.  Thanks for visiting today.

Simply Amazing Ombre Photo Corners

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

One of the things I love about the Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners is that you can color them with alcohol based ink. For this quick card I colored the corners with Copic Markers, in colors to create the trendy “ombre” effect.

I started with the darkest color for the top row, then lighter for each row. The bottom part of the card features bakers twine tied around it. The embellishment is adhered with White Crafty Foam Tape.

I think this card is a fun way to use supplies beyond the original purpose!

See you soon!

Hello Everyone

Greetings from Australia, it is my turn again and I am getting ready to leave to do some teaching at a Scrapbooking Expo here in Australia. I will be using lots of my favorite 3L Scrapbooking Adhesives and products in my classes. I am teaching 9 classes over three days.

I decided to do a card to share with you. It is an easel card, which means it can stand up. It is quite easy to make. You need 12 x12 inch piece of cardstock. Cut it in half so it is 6 inch wide and 12 inches long. Fold it in half so it is now 6 inches x 6 inches. Have the fold at the top of the card and fold the top layer of the card back on it’s self. The fold will be in the middle of the top 1/4 of the card. The edge of the top of the folded card should be along first fold of the card. This will make the top layer of the card 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. From the left over piece of your cardstock, cut a 6 x 6 inch square. Add tape to the top fold piece of your card. Adhere your 6 x 6 inch square to it. This will allow you to stand the top layer of the card up and it will rest on the bottom layer of the card.

From a piece of Prima Paper, I cut two squares 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches. One is for the front of the card and one inside.

I cut some of the images from the Prima print papers and used Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White near the top of the image and my E-Z Runner at the bottom. I cut some of the flowers from the print paper as well and used the Thin 3D Foam Squares to build up the images, overlapping them over the ballerina image. I inked a chipboard frame from Imaginarium Designs along with a chipboard title. I used some of Prima’s Flowers and added them over the frame. I found the DODZ™ – Medium perfect for sticking the flowers down. It was so quick and easy with no glue everywhere. For the card to stand up, you need to add a ledge on the bottom layer of the card. I wanted to use some Photo Corners – Classic Style, Silver to give it a classic look.

I thought the silver would look lovely with the soft print paper. I cut 1 inch x 1 inch squares and place a photo corner on the top and bottom point of my squares then overlapped them on top of each other to form a border across the bottom of my card.

I chose some lace to match my card and used my roll of Crafty Power Tape – 81’/25m with Built-In Dispenser to adhere the lace to my card. I find that gluing lace does not work to well for me. It is hard not to get glue on the front of the lace. The Crafty Power Tape was perfect for this. I then place my silver corner border onto the lace using more of my Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White. I love using the Foam Squares in whatever size – black or white, thin or thick, they make the job so much easier.

The card looks so pretty with the soft print papers and the the lovely images. The silver Photo Corners – Classic Style, give it such a classic touch.

thanks so much for looking

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:

Thank you for stopping by today!

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.

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:
