Butterfly Note Card

 Hey everyone!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty Butterfly Note Card.

I used stamps from Tracy Evans "Dog Rose & Butterfly" stamp set.  The image was stamped on on watercolor paper and then painted with watercolors.  I also stamped the butterfly and word "butterfly" separately on watercolor paper and painted those as well and then cut them out.  The butterfly is popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix  and the word is fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix

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

Warm Winter Wishes Card

 Hello Friends,

When I found, or should I say rediscovered, a pretty Penny Black printed card of snowy landscape, I was inspired to make this card. It's winter here in Minnesota but so far without much snow.

I wanted the image to be focal point so I kept background subtle with white embossed design.  It adds interest yet doesn't take away from main image.  I've added a stamped and die cut verse that's simple and small and fits with the design.  All the details with step out photos are on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today....click HERE to go to it.

Metallic Foil Stripes Card

 Hi Friends! 

It's been a while since I posted.  I took a much needed break from crafty obligations. I needed some time for me and time to be outdoors in the summer.  I have several flower beds to tend to and I love being out in the fresh air and sunlight.  

Today, I'm back with a card made for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  

It's very easy to make with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft..  You can find all the directions with step out photos on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog today.  I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to put the layers together.  The stamp and coordinating die are from Taylored Expressions All Occasions.  The only other supplies are textured white cardstock and black cardstock.  Fun and easy to make!

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!

Love and Happiness Card with Heart Dangles

 Hello Friends!

Another project for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!  

This pretty card features touches of metallic foil on a stamped and heat embossed background.  After warming the embossing, I placed foil on it and it stuck to the melted embossing powder.  I again heated it after foil was stuck which melted foil into the embossed design.  It's a bit challenging to do to get the right amount of heat to just re-melt the powder but not too much to make it too soft.  The dangle hearts are made from 3D Foam Hearts stuck together, covered with embossing powder, heated to melt it and then re-heated to add foil.  It's a great technique to used foil that has been used for other projects and still has areas of color.  I like the randomness of the foil on the background.

Paper for the embossed panel was first inked with Distress Peacock Feathers ink direct to paper, allowed to dry and then embossed.  

Then Distress Oxide Uncharted Mariner ink was rubbed over the raised embossed design to add contrast color.  Envelope liner is made from printer paper also inked direct to paper with Distress Peacock Feathers ink and allowed to dry.

Friendship Watercolor Flowers Card

Today, I posted this card to Scrapbook Adhesives byby 3L Blog.  

I used flowers that I painted with watercolors and then added doodle details. They are one of my go-to things iwhen I need a card.  I learned the basics for making them in Fodder School and then put my own twist on them....of course! 

I used pieces from my stash of leftover scraps under the flowers, embossed white cardstock and pink  painted cardstock.
