My Treasured Kutz: Joyful Christmas Tag

This is my last project as guest blogger for My Treasured Kutz, a line of detailed dies to use in your manual die cutting and embossing machine. Using Pine Bough and 3D Miniature GrandFlora Rose Flower, I created a sweet and dimensional Christmas Tag.

My inspiration was found in the pattern of my holiday themed paper, I cut them out as the focal point of the tag. Then I die-cut a combination of Pine Bough, and 3D Miniature Grand Flora Rose Flower to frame the focal point.

I first used Craft Power Tape and Pigment Powder Gold to make a three line border.


Then add the cut accents using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips and 3D Foam Squares. Next frame the bottom with Pine Bough and 3D Miniature GrandiFlora Rose Flower secure with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. Tie a jingle bell and mini cookie cutter together with Girlie Grunge Twine and tie to the organza bow to finish.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Creating a Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Harvest Wine Bottle Tag

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today I'm up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog!! Did you ever have a last minute invitation to a dinner party and had nothing to bake/cook with? I will "sacrifice" my most favorite red wine for the occasion - HA! So into my craft studio I go to create a quick and easy wine tag...


For the tag base, I folded a piece of Kraft cardstock. Before I die-cut a banner shape, I placed the fold line right underneath the cut line to give it a long shape and trimmed the back. I wanted dimension to my tag so I pulled out the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and adhered my patterned paper on it before die-cutting another banner shape. See my step by step photos on how to...


Set the banner aside. Next, I die-cut my leaf and circle (opening for the bottle neck). Take out the tag base and emboss the leaf.


Ink the edge of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet banner shape and through the leaf die to highlight the embossed areas.


Wrap natural jute around the top of the banner, tie a knot and secure with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.


Add 3D Foam Squares Black Mix regular squares on the back of the leaf die cut and center onto the banner.


To finish, peel off the liner in the back of banner and adhere on to the tag base. Now it's ready to hang on the wine bottle and to give! Loved how it turned out : )

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Creating a Hoot of a Card with Adhesive Sheets!

I am on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog today! Been wanting to use this adorable die for a long time! One would shy away from all the little pieces but with Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12" from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®, this was SO EASY to create. Let me show you how - best part, no extra tools required to use these adhesive sheets.


All you have to do is apply the Adhesive Sheet to the back of your material. Just remove the liner, place your cardstock, rub to make sure it's secured (trim excess if needed) and cut with your die. It's that simple...


I used three mats as my card panel for my 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base. The bottom mat was adhered to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser as well as the dark brown to the smaller mat. The latter mat will be adhered with Crafty Foam Tape White.


Now for the fun part, assembling the owl pieces. Just peel the liner off and place on the card panel. I HAD to use the HUGE googly eyes so I used Dodz Adhesive Dots XL from Donna Salazar with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® line. Can you say PERFECT! LOL!


Center the card panel on the card base and it's ready to be given away...if you can, he's so cute!! Solution: make two! LOL!
