Paper House Productions: DIY Wonder Woman Paper Clip

Are you into planners or travelers notebook? It has exploded into the paper crafting industry in the last couple of years. I've been a list or monthly planner gal for years but was pretty cut and dry. Decided to join into creative and try for a PR team this year. Lucky me for being choosen as part of the Paper House Productions Creative Team :)

I have a promo code if you plan to order through the Paper House Productions website. Use PH18MARGIE and get 15% off your purchase.

**I receive products from Paper House Productions, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders Paper Arts 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.**

Cut the Page Clip etched die from the Page Pals Etched Dies Set with thin chipboard. Make sure to cut two pieces. I wanted to make it a super strong clip.

Using Gesso, I gave both clip die cuts a base coat. Then painted with black chalkboard about four to five coats because I wanted a deep black background.

After it completed dried, adhere the two die cuts with Dual Tip Glue Pen and let dry.

Although the Justice League™ Chibi Heroes Puffy Sticker (Wonder Woman + Stars) is super sticky, I wanted it to be extra secure and used Adhesives Dots Medium Ultra Thin. Using Adhesives Dots Medium Ultra Thin doesn't give the puffy sticker extra bulk.

Add Wonder Woman puffy sticker in the front and stars in the back, There was a tiny bit of Woman Woman's head sticking out of the clip so I used Artist Big Brush Pen in black to cover.

Now, I have an amazing paper clip! So fun to create and something custom for my planner :) Hope that motivates you to create one for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! Today I'm lucky to be Irish for the day and get away with it - HA! To mark the occasion I create a set of St. Patrick's Day cards from one sheet of patterned paper filled with phrases and images from Authentique Paper :) Some of the images were itching to be enhanced with dimensions using 3D Foam Hearts - put them together and they form a shamrock :) Put them together with foil and glitter to WEAR YOUR ADHESIVES ON THE OUTSIDE!

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 :)

View How to Use 3D Foam Hearts and Other Shapes video below for a quick tutorial on Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside:

Finishing Touches

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!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Dimensional Pumpkin Bags Tutorial

Created a sweet fall project full of dimension and it's featured on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog today! Fall is in the air and I had PUMPKIN on my mind so I pulled out 3D Foam Creative Sheets and my stash of etched dies from the Market Fresh Collection by Debi Adams to create my dimensional pumpkin bags!

Paper piecing a pumpkin from Apple a Day Etched Dies set with fall plaid papers was SO EASY! Equally easy was assembling sweet paper bags from Bag It n Tag It Etched Dies set. What do you think?

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders® Paper Arts 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 :) **

Create these fun + sweet pumpkin bags.

1. Cut two bag shapes from Bag It n Tag It Etched Dies set with my Platinum machine. If you are using patterned papers, make sure both cuts have patterns going the same way. I stacked my two papers together and cut...less confusion! LOL!

2. Next, let's assemble the box. After scoring the folds, I inked the edges with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and then adhered the tabs together with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser...great for paper construction :)

Paper piecing a pumpkin.

1. Cover your patterned paper with Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6" and trim excess using your etched die as a guide. Cut with Apple a Day Etched Dies Pumpkin Front Die with my Platinum machine. Set aside.

2. For the pumpkin sides, I wanted dimension so I grabbed a scrap piece of patterned paper and covered with 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Cut with Apple a Day Etched Dies Pumpkin Side Die twice and Apple/Pumpkin Center Die once with my Platinum machine.

3. Ink all of the die cut edges with Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade. Then peel the bottom liner off and place on top of the Pumpkin Front die cut to make your dimensional pumpkin.

Making pumpkin details.

1. Using the leftover from the Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6", adhere a piece of patterned scrap to cut your Apple a Day Etched Dies Stem Die. From the same set, cut Leaf Die from patterned paper, and ink the edges with Distress Ink in Spruce. Using a covered wire, I created a vine accent by wrapping around a paintbrush handle.

2. Adhere all on bag front in the following order:

• Peel off the bottom liner of the stem (using the pumpkin front die cut as a guide) and adhere.
• With a Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, secure the vine accent down.
• Peel off the bottom liner of the pumpkin front die cut and center to the bag.
• Tuck the leaf die cut into the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, and then add an adhesive dot to the tip of leaf and press to adhere.

Here's another look at the finished bags...
