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 

I posted this card with directions and step out photos on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog today.  Click HERE to read all the details.

Metallic Foil Graduation Card

 

I always think of graduations at this time of year which inspired me to put together this shiny Metallic Foil Graduation card.  I really like the shine of these metallic colors! I've combined green and blue foils.  That was a happy accident when I started to apply foil, I thought I had just a blue sheet in my hand.  When I peeled away the foil, I discovered there was a sheet of green foil under the blue. The sheets are so thin and cling together.  So I added blue with  the green and really liked it!

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.

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

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.
