Halloween Lantern

 Hello everyone!

Today, I have a fun project to share, a Halloween Lantern!  Here's a few photos and info.  More details with all the directions are on Scrapbook Adhesives blog today.  Click HERE to go there.

I found this metal lantern at Dollar Tree and thought it would be perfect to decorate for Halloween. I really like how it turned out.  Once all the pieces are cut, it goes together fairly quickly.  I fastened vellum in 3 sides of the lantern and left back open to be able to put a battery candle inside.

 

These are the pieces for side one.  Each piece is cut from black cardstock that has Adhesive Sheets applied to the back before die cutting.  That makes fastening pieces to the vellum in the lantern easy.  

 This is the third side of the lantern.

Please check out more details HERE.

Stunning Embossed Foil Card

I've been experimenting with applying foil to card stock and then embossing it.  I like the results.  I put together this card one of the pieces.

I used pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors fastened to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. before embossing it.  Then I applied Archival Jet Black ink over the embossed.  Over that I put clear embossing powder and heat embossed.  That seals the ink plus the heat adds a texture to foil.  I've tried embossing with foiled papers and they often crack but this doesn't do that.

I posted all the directions on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  You can find it HERE.

It's a technique that can be used with other embossing folders.  I find the 3D folders give the best results.

Hello Friend Card

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing a Hello Friend card that's posted on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog.  All the details with directions and step out photos are HERE.

I used a stamp set from Simon Hurley for the pretty flowers and colored them with watercolors.  Each one was fussy cut out.  There is a die set for that stamp but I don't have it.  I find fussy cutting rather meditative!  Each one is popped up with 3D Foam Squares.  I used a Sizzix die designed by Tim Holtz to cut the tiny envelope and card insert. The background lattice was cut with another die by Sizzix called Layered Plaid.  Check all the info HERE

Fabric Tree Christmas Tags

 It's coming down to crunch time for Christmas making!  

Truthfully, I always manage to make something at the very last minute for the holidays! At least, this year I have some tags made

These tags have fabric on triangles cut from 3D Foam Creative Sheets for the trees.  I like the look!  Patterned paper could be used instead of fabric for this technique. I've posted all the details with photos and directions on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  Click HERE to go there.

Number 70 Birthday Card

Hello Friends!

I was recently invited to a party to celebrate a 70th birthday and needed to wrap a gift. So I stamped some Kraft packing paper.  It turned out so well that I decided to use the leftover paper to make a card. 

I'm super happy with how it turned out!  

All the directions with step out photos are on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  Click HERE to read it.

This design could be used for any age number.  I used recycled Kraft packing paper on this card.  A different paper would change the whole look!  I may be using this idea for a few more cards!

Here's the how the gift wrap turned out!

Time to Celebrate Birthday Card

Hello friends!

I'm sharing a masculine birthday card today.  I'm so happy with how this turned out! 

The patterned papers are from Photo Play Collection Birthday Bash.  I like the colors! The greeting panel is a sticker with added navy and yellow mats. 

The fun part was making the glazed stars!  Stars are 3D Foam Stars covered with Distress Embossing Glaze Fossilized Amber and heated carefully. They have a little shine and texture.  I don't mind that stars curl a little when heated.  It adds to the charm of this card. 

You can find lots more details and directions for making this card at Scrapbook Adhesives Blog today.

Tag with Metallic Foil Panel

 Hello friends!

I'm back with a Tag with Metallic Foil Panel. 

Making the metallic foiled panel is quite easy with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White.  I used pieces of foil from other projects to get the irregular pattern.  It's an easy technique that I posted on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  Check it out for all the details and directions.

Inspire Hearts of Others Card

 Hello crafty friends!

Last week I dyed some papers using an old bottle of dye mist with rust water.  I used some of those papers on this card.

 The background is an old book page with script stamped on it.  The heart was cut from dyed paper.  I've popped the heart and tag up with Thin 3D Foam Squares. Verse is from Tim Holtz, heart and background dies form Gina K and tag die from Heidi Swapp.

Layered Arches Flower Card

 Hello friends!

I've got another project up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  Click HERE to go to the post.

This card has a textured background that's very easy to do with Adhesive Sheets and crumpled tissue paper.  All the directions are on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog post.

I've added dimension to the arches with 3D Foam Strips.  The painted watercolor flowers also have dimension with 3D Foam Circles under petals and leaves.  

Stamped and fussy cut or die cut flowers could easily be used instead of a hand painted watercolor flower.

I hope you find some inspiration for your creative journey!

Make Your Heart Sing Tag

 Today, I've made a vintage looking tag to share.  I really struggled with coming up with an idea for a project this time.  So I started sorting through bits and pieces for past projects, things I couldn't quite throw away.  I found some hearts and a verse that would work with it and this tag evolved...

I used an easy technique to apply torn pieces of old book page to start the background on the tag.  Simply apply   to tag and then lay pieces of book page on it leaving gaps between pieces.  I used Distress Glaze to sprinkle into the exposed adhesive areas and heat embossed with heat tool.  From there, I applied several Distress ink colors rubbed onto the tag.  I also stamped foliage and script with permanent black ink.
