Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: How to Embellish Valentine Twist Pop-Up Card

Today I am on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog with this fun card! Using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser and Thin 3D Foam Squares - Mix Black, I made a Valentine Twist Pop-Up Card. If you search "Twist Pop-Up Card Tutorial" on the internet, there will be a few to choose from. I used: Twist Pop-Up Card Tutorial by SplitCoast Stampers.

**As a part of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team, I receive products 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 :) **

I assembled the mechanics and card base with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. It is a strong, permanent, clear double-sided adhesive that can handle paper construction like this.

For the pop-up panel: I cut 2.5 x 3.5 inch red paper for each panel. One was layered with stickers and inked edges with Fired Brick ink (all the red papers were inked the same). The second, I added stickers on a 2.25 x 3.25 inch patterned paper panel.

I added a sticker and 3D Foam Key shape. Simply remove the liner and rub in the Pigment Powder Brown to "Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside" for a shimmery effect.

The last panel, I die-cut a heart into the red paper and added a sticker sentiment in the lower right corner. Next fill small flower sequins into the Keepsake Envelopes Mix small size and close the flap. The sequins will fall out as they are TINY so apply E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser around the edges of the envelope and (back of) heart window to seal. Place it over the heart window from the back side. Add Thin 3D Foam Squares - Mix Black and center onto the brown panel.

Add the rest of the red panels on the brown pop-up panel using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. Then place onto the twist mechanics of the card base.

Repeat the same shaker instructions for the card front with Keepsake Envelopes Mix medium size and a large heart die. Add Creative Photo Corners Gold on each corner of Card Panel. Oh, later I decided to add red glitter to 3D Foam Hearts in the center for some sparkle! LOL!

Design Memory Craft: Altered with Love and Texture Luxe Copper Tutorial

This is my last blog post over at Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® Blog for this term as Guest Designer. I so enjoyed my time there and the products this Company offers.

I had the opportunity to first play with the Texture Luxe™ Copper at CHA (Craft & Hobby Assoc.) 2016 Mega Conference & Trade Show back in January. LOVE the richness in color and the creamy-ness of the product :) I have altered a mint tin featuring this wonderful medium in many different ways.

An Elegant Door Knob Hanger Tutorial

I am doing something outside my comfort zone by creating with beautiful products from Mon Ami Gabby! See the amazing trim, spray and flowers. Mixed with an equally wonderful stencil design by Rita Barakat (her first design - congrats girlie!) and Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® products, I came up with this creation...

After I painted the door hanger in Chalkboard Paint (use two coats - allow dry time for each coat), stencil using Whipped Spackle and let dry.

Paint over the stenciled area with a coat of Chalkboard Paint - LOVE the embossed look of the design!

After the paint dried, I colored the embossed area with Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® - Gold Champagne. Tip: outline the area and spread the color with your finger towards the middle. Add color until you get your desired look. What a stunning backdrop as we start to layer on more items!

Add 4" Black Diamond Mesh Classics trim around the bottom area of hanger (see image) and secure with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½" Permanent.

Add three clear rhinestones on the lower left corner as accents, using your Tool 'n One.

Add Tiny Gold Sequins (aren't they cute?!) with Dodz™ - Small (I tore them into smaller pieces) and adhered them.

Using several Dodz™ - 3D, I adhered my Crystal Wheat Spray/Gold Glitter Flowers cluster to create the focal point of the project. The combination of gold, glitter and the sprays against the trim make a stunning design :)

For a more personal touch, I added an initial in gold to the project by adhering gold mirror cardstock to 3D Foam Creative Sheet and cut/emboss with a letter die template. Place on top of the sequined area to finish.

Here is another look...
