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!

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!

Attaching the lace was done with ease using E-Z Dots, they are translucent so nothing shows through.

The finished notebook, I like it so much I’m reluctant to write in it!

Some close up shots…

Have fun creating.

Repositionable Adhesive as a Mask

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth! I can’t believe it’s June 1 already! Today I used Repositionable Adhesive as a mask. I used E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive and Glimmer Mist on the dress form to create the pattern!

To make the pattern I die cut the shape, then covered it with lines of E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive.

I sprayed 2 shades of Glimmer Mist, allowed it to dry, then rubbed the E-Z Dots® off with my finger to reveal the background color. I stamped an image, added bling, a flower and a wire hanger to finish it off.

The rest of the tag used burlap, a printed image, flowers, ribbon and more bling!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:
E-Z Dots®, Adhesive Sheets, 3D Foam Squares, DODZ™ Small

Vintage Tag

Posted on May 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello again, Christine here and this time I thought I would share with you a vintage tag creation. I do find all things vintage and shabby chic very appealing so I truly enjoyed putting this tag together.

Firstly select a natural card luggage tag.

Next, some pretty paper to create your flowers. Adhere this to an Adhesive Sheet.

This will enable you to run the paper through a die cutting machine and it will have its own adhesive backing, perfect for creating the tiny Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.

It peels away very easily for you to roll the flowers into small blossoms.

Cover your tag with some decorative tissue tape or patterned paper and begin to decorate. I have also used a Foliage die template.

The chipboard embellishment is securely affixed to the tag by using Crafty Power Tape.

I’ve used 3D Foam Squares to attach a small stamped label.

Add two Kraft Photo Corners to the bottom edges of the tag, they make a lovely finishing touch.

Finished! Tie to a gift or dress up a bottle or jar, tags are so useful. Happy crafting!

Graduation Cap and Gown Card with a Flip!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

It’s graduation season and I have a graduation card to flip for! I designed it to look like a cap and gown, with a pocket for a gift card or cash.

Cap and Gown Graduation Flip Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips for the tassel, graduation cap, card base and inside layers.

3D Foam Squares make the pocket for the gift card. Note the body of the card is wide enough to hold a gift card + the width of the 3D Foam Squares.

The card is designed to look like a graduation gown, with a graduation cap that flips up to reveal a gift card. The card stands up on it’s own and will be perfect to display at a party!

I used the school colors inside, these are easy to switch to customize the card to the graduate.

Play Ball! Baseball Scrapbook Page

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Nothing says summertime like a baseball game! And living with 3 Chicago Cubs baseball super-fans, we see a lot of baseball games!

This fun Game On kit from Websters Pages features nice bright colors and sports themed images, perfect for me!

For the border I aligned the printed words with just a few strips of adhesive from the E-Z Runner®, all the way down the edge.

I used the E-Z Runner® to mat the photos and other blocks.

For the “Clark and Addison” street signs, I printed photos I had taken of the signs. I used Thin 3D Foam Squares and regular 3D Foam Squares to add dimension and depth. This is how I placed them on the back sides of the signs ~

Using this technique, the signs look like more realistic, one side is ‘closer’ to you than the other, like this~

I also added 3D Foam Squares behind the drink image, just a single regular layer, so that it had dimension.

I used these supplies:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:

Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix
3D Foam Squares Black Small
E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips
Websters Pages – Game On Kit

Thanks for reading, and Play Ball!

Enjoy the Process Card

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello everyone, Vicki here. I couldn’t resist playing with these beautiful Webster’s Pages papers for the card I created for this blog post. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I decided to create a card to give my sister for Mother’s Day. I LOVE butterflies, so of course I chose to make them the focal point of my card 🙂

My “go to” adhesive is the E-Z Runner®, its always on my work table. I used it for putting the layers of my card together, but I used white 3D Foam Squares to give lift to the individual die cut pieces with the butterflies off the paper a bit. It always amazes my what a difference just a little bit of dimension can make.

This is just a little something I wanted to share, along with my card. As I was looking at the papers sitting here on my desk, my eye was drawn to this beautiful paper with the rose image. I remember that I had some vintage metal trays in my supply closet that this paper would look so great on. Something as simple as adding paper to this tray… finding a new use for something old makes me HAPPY! The E-Z Runner® did the job, perfectly adhering the paper to the metal.

Sometimes a quick simple project works into the day perfectly. Almost instant gratification:)

Enjoy the process!
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Vicki Chrisman

Webster’s Pages and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog Hop

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hi, Christine here and I’m featuring one of my absolute favourite things today..butterflies!

I used the gorgeous papers and products from Webster’s Pages – Everyday Poetry collection. I created a card that is, to my mind, a little like a mini scrapbook layout – I kept adding more and more!

I prepared all my card elements beforehand, the patterned paper, rose ribbon and bakers twine. I used various Spellbinders™ die templates including Labels Four, Rose Creations, Carnation Creations, Jewel Fantasies and Scalloped Circles.

To adhere my card pieces I used the E-Z Runner®, this is so speedy and because the adhesive is applied in little strips it can be used on large or small items. Also it goes around curves and circles, great for the flowers.

For my central tag I wanted to add dimension so I went straight to my 3D Foam Squares, I keep a supply of these permanently on my craft desk as they are so easy to use and I can be guaranteed of their permanence. Crafty Power Tape is perfect for the final assembly of my card onto plain cream card stock.

I hope you like butterflies too!
