Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter 2022: Choose JOY Holiday Card

The Coffee Lovers Community is having its Fall/Winter 2022 event and I thought I would jump in on the fun! Using mostly Distress Oxide in Salvaged Patina and Flamingo Pink with the Dots Stencil, I created a holiday card with a whimsy touch!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Kraft n Creativity for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and by doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Choose JOY Holiday Card Panel

Cut a 3.75 x 5-inch white card panel and stencil the Dots Stencil for a dotted background with Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina. Let dry. On the upper left corner and lower right corner, add a combination of  Adhesive Dots Mini and Micro. Cover with teal glitter, press to secure, and tap off excess. 

With the 4 x 5.25-inch pink cardstock, ink its edges with Distress Oxide Ink in Kitsch Flamingo. Adhere the panels together with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

Embellish the Mug

Die-cut the mug, its insert, candy cane, its insert, and marshmallow shapes from white cardstock. Ink and shade the mug with Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina. The white cardstock was inked with Distress Oxide Ink in Kitsch Flamingo, and Frayed Burlap before die-cutting the candy cane and mug insert, respectively.

Place the 3D Foam Snowflake onto the mug. Remove the top liner, cover with teal glitter, press to secure, and tap off the excess. So pretty!

Die-cut marshmallows in a combination of white cardstock, vellum, and 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Adhere the vellum shape to the top of the white cardstock shape. Cover white glitter on top of the foam shape, using the same glitter steps as the 3D Snowflake.

Assemble the mug pieces, and place the assembled mug on the card panel with a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong adhesive and the Dual Tip Glue Pen (for candy cane and mug handle).

Choose JOY Everyday Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment on pink cardstock with black ink. Cut it into a dual ribbon tail strip, and ink the edges with Distress Oxide Ink in Kitsch Flamingo. Then secure it on the card front with 3D Foam Strips.

I had such a wonderful time playing with this new die set inspired by all the items I had in my stash. What a fun start to my holiday cardmaking! Hope you enjoyed my process. Wanna join in? Click: Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter 2022 Event!

Craft Fancy: Wickerwork Hello Card

Hello! What I created with this wonderful background die from Craft Fancy. I've always wanted a plaid-inspired design and this contemporary motif fits the bill! Let me show you how I made this card so you can recreate one too!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Wickerwork Card Panel

For the card panel, I cut a black, red, and white cardstock with the Wickerwork die to make the background. Slightly shift each color to peek through for interest. Secure each layer with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Place 3D Foam Strips on each side, and adhere to an A2 (4.25 x 5.5-inch) Kraft card base.

Hello Sentiment

Stamp the HELLO sentiment from the Sentiments #1 Stamp Set with black ink on vellum paper. Then cut into a double ribbon tail banner. Mat a piece of red cardstock, adhere with E-Z Runner Permanent Fine and cut the red cardstock in the same banner shape with a 1/8-inch border. Adhere the sentiment on to the card front.

Butterfly Embellishments

Lastly, I added butterflies on the sentiment banner by die-cutting the Butterfly Triptych dies with white cardstock. Then centered Crystal Glass Rhinestones with the Adhesive Dots Micro on the butterfly for sparkle.

I hope you enjoyed this project. If you haven't already, please follow me on the blog or my ILscraps Instagram.

Happiness Grand Cabinet 3D Card

Today I wanted to share a card project that I have been wanting to do for a long time. When my local craft store, Craft Fancy (Arlington Hts, IL), had Spellbinders® Grand Cabinet 3D Card Etched Dies by Becca Feeken in stock, I grabbed one! LOL! You will agree with me that it is one you have to make!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Memory Palette Co. for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Also in my stash, I had a bunch of items that I purchased in Japan (and some were gifted to me) created by a sweet friend of mine, Asuka Miyamoto. It might look complicated but trust me, Becca made it so easy to make!

How to Create Happiness

Nest the following three etched dies from outside in: Grand Cabinet Outline, Grand Cabinet Inlay and Inner Cabinet Outline as shown in the image below. You will need to cut a total of five pieces. The light grey die cuts will be the inside layers. The white die cut is the front layer.

For the back panel of the card, take out the Grand Cabinet Inlay and Inner Cabinet Outline from the Grand Cabinet Outline. Die cut with your choice of patterned paper. Nest the Side Panel Etched Die with the Side Panel Insert die. Then die cut two pieces in white cardstock. Fold the side score lines.

Aren't these Cut-Outs by Asuka Studios adorable? These sweet designs were fussy cut and will embellish the front of the card.

The tabs must be trimmed off of the front and back of a card. They will adhere to the side panels so tabs aren't needed.

On the score lines, I applied a line of adhesive from my E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. This tape adhesive is about a 1/8-inch in width - perfect for narrow areas.

Make sure the slits are located at the bottom before lining up your card front to attach.

Repeat on the other side with the back card panel. The pattern you want showing should be facing up like the Tea Time design.

Now to add in your first layer (start from the back and work your way to the front) by threading the tab through the slit.

Once it goes through make sure to give the layer a gentle tug to "lock" into place. See the "before" and "after" position.

So when you're done, they should like this. Neat, huh?

These are the layers that you'll be working with. Cool! Almost done :)

I applied Adhesive Dots Micro to my fussy cut pieces. But my little squirrel will have dimension by adding a 3D Foam Circle White Mix in regular size.

To get rid of the stickiness from the exposed adhesives between the intricate cut, I dusted a bit of powder and it works like a charm!

To close up the card to complete the dimensional tunnel effect, apply a line of adhesive from my E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to the second side panel die cut. Remember to make sure the slits are at the bottom before connecting to the back card panel.

Then place all the layer panel tabs into the side panel and add the last line of adhesive from the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to line up against the front card panel edge.

The finishing touch was to add the Sparkly Bubbles in Light Pink to the card front. Just loved how this card turned out!

Craft Fancy: Happy Holidays Card using Craft Fancy Exclusive Dies From Memory Box

On several occasions, I have been asked to design a make 'n take project for either a retailer or manufacturer. This card project was for a stamp consumer show in Madison, Wisconsin. The challenge (more to myself) was to use these etched dies in a unique and interesting way without being overwhelming.

This is what I came up with...a Happy Holidays Card using Craft Fancy's exclusive dies from Memory Box. When completed, you will have a layered and dimensional holiday card.

**I receive products from Craft Fancy and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Creating the Holiday Card Front

Use the Forest Landscape die to cut with a piece of 5 5/8 x 4" white cardstock. On the long side, place die on the top edge (making sure the tallest tree tip is just below the edge). NOTE: place wax paper between the die and cardstock for easy separation. Cut with manual die cutting machine. Remove die and flip the cardstock to repeat the same cutting steps.

When done, it should look like the piece on the left. Cut in half to create two borders like the pieces on the right.

Put the two borders together and shift a little to the desired look. NOTE: keep the top border steady and shift the back order. The top border will be the one showing up on the card front. Trim any harsh corner shown (think rolling slopes).

Use the Snowman Landscape die to cut with a piece of 5 1/2 x 3" white glitter cardstock. On the long side, place die on the top edge (making sure the snowman's head is just below the edge). Cut with manual die cutting machine. Remove die and flip the cardstock to repeat the same cutting steps.

When done, it should look like the piece on the left. Cut in half to create two borders like the pieces on the right. For this project, we only use one but you can either set aside for another project or place inside your card for an accent.

Placing the Pieces Together

Place your Forest Landscape border die cut about 1/2" from the bottom of your black glitter A2 size (5.5 x 4.14") card base, aligning the left edge of the border to the edge of the card base. Trim excess on the right side.

Use your Snowman Landscape border die cut as a guide and determine the placement of sentiment stamp. Remove Snowman border, ink the stamp and stamp onto the Forest border.

Next, add four 3D Foam Squares on the back of the Snowman border die cut. Place at the bottom edge of the card base and you're done!

Here's another look at the finished card.

Blog Hop with CardMaker Magazine + Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A little holiday cheer of a card to share with you, using Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside concept with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products! Welcome to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® + CardMaker® Magazine Blog Hop and Giveaway! Stick with us to the end about the giveaway!

Today's theme is “Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside”, which means using various Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products with different mediums to customize your projects. I'm using a combination of glitter, craft foil and embossing powder to create my PEACE & JOY HOLIDAY CARD.

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside: Premium Double-Sided Tape and Glitter

On a 5.25 x 4" card panel, I applied Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4 in. and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8 in. to the left side of the panel. Tuck the ends behind the panel, take off the top liner and sprinkle fine gold glitter on top of both. Press glitter into the tape and shake excess off. You have a beautiful border!

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside: 3D Foam Shapes and Craft Foil

I took out two ornament shapes from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit and place them on top of the glittered border. Next, remove top liner of each shape, apply gold craft foil (colored side UP) and gently rub. The kit has everything to make your foiled holiday embellishments...no need for a tool, just throw it in your bag and go! Note: I cut my foil for easier handling.

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside: 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Embossing Powder

Custom create dimensional embellishments with 3D Foam Creative Sheets - one of my favorite products! You can die-cut your favorite shape, words or designs and it will cut like butah! I used intricate design words. Placed them on the card panel, took off the top liner and sprinkled gold embossing powder. Tap off excess and melt with a heating tool. YES! This high-density foam can be heat embossed :)

For each corner of the card panel, add a Creative Photo Corners Gold to tie in the gold accents. Then apply E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser on the back and center onto a Kraft A2 size (5.5 x 4.25") card base. It's ready to be sent!
