Scrapbook Adheisive by 3L Valentines Keepsake card

Hi There!
 Today I have a quick & easy embossing tutorial. Most of you have probably tried this stamping & embossing technique but I really wanted to show you that you’re not just limited to your papers. I love to jazz up my keepsake envelopes with some stamped images & this is a great way to go about it as there is no ink that can smudge on the plastic. Once the image is set with a heat gun then it is there to stay!!
As Valentines day is around the corner I have created a Valentines Keepsake card. The keepsake envelopes are a great way to secure those personal love notes & cute mementos!
1. Take your desired keepsake envelope size, a versamark ink pad in clear & a stamp

2. Press the stamp onto the clear ink pad & then stamp image onto keepsake envelope

3. In a glitter tray sprinkle embossing powder over stamped image. Shake off excess powder & set with a heat gun. Be sure to keep the heat gun a good distance away from the envelop as it will melt the plastic


To decorate the card & keep with the Valentines cupid theme I also used the 3D Foam Hearts & 3D Foam Wings. I sprinkled embossing powder directly onto the foam shapes & set the powder with a heat gun

Neon Love- Sassy Scrappers

Hi There!    I'm so excited to be back for another year at Sassy Scrappers! We have lots of great things planned and have kicked off our first mood board challenge (Details below) This month I am playing with Prima Optimist. I love the contrast of the black with bright yellow, teal & fuchsia.   This pic was taken on New Years Eve. My kids love to adorn themselves in as much neon glow in the dark jewellery as possible and pretend they are aliens LOL!  

  I have fussy cut some of the blackboard images and some flowers and layered them with some gorgeous Optimist flowers  

Try using a white gel pen for journaling to create a real blackboard effect!   Products from the Sassy Shop

Imaginarium Designs Grunge Vs Whimsy

Hi There!

Today I'm kicking off the first official post for the 2014 Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Design Team! I'm so excited to be part of the team for another year!

Today I have 2 projects, very different styles. I love that ID chippies are so versatile! You can dress them up to suit any style!

First up is a my page "It's a boy thing". My little man Hunter is developing a real love for fishing. He loves to go out in the boat with his Dad and Poppy and this Summer holidays he managed to catch quite a few! He thinks he is a bit of a pro at the whole fishing thing now LOL!

The Photos frame was inked with Donna Salazar Designs Mixed Media Inx Color Box Black. This is a really wet ink that gives great coverage for chipboard.

The It's a boy thing title was sprayed with Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Time Travel Teal mist. The cogs were inked with Donna Salazar Designs Mixed Media Inx Color Box in Sparrow. I then painted some Mod Podge and then sprinkled some Aged Hunter Embossing powder from the Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewel Kit and set it with a heat gun. This powder has a mix of gold, black & green so it gives a really great effect on chipboard.

The arrows were also inked with Donna Salazar Designs black ink

Now onto my 2nd project. A whimsical Happy Birthday card. I finally cut into some old Sassafrass Lass paper I was hoarding. I was saving it as Sassafrass Lass no longer make paper but I decided it was no good just sitting on the shelf LOL!

I painted both chippies with Distress Paint in Antique Linen. The oval frame was then painted with Distress Crackle Paint in Scattered Straw & the title was coloured with a Kaiserfusion pen in Y04

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L A Love Story Frame

Hi There!
Shell Carman here today to share a vintage frame. This would make a perfect gift for someone special or even a great decoration for your scrap space.
The most common problem I face when creating home décor products and working with wood is that I have trouble getting the embellishments to adhere to the wood and mixed media products properly. The paper always seems to roll off as soon as I have stuck it down and never seems to be able to hold onto mists, especially high shimmer mists. For this project I used the Crafty Power Tape 20″ in Dispenser. This high tac tape sticks easily to even the most shiny and slippery surfaces and won’t move once it is down! You have got to LOVE that LOL!

To achieve some dimension with my layered embellishments I have used some 3D Foam Squares White Mix

I have used my fav product Dodz 3D to adhere the flowers

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Friends

Hi There!
Shell Carman here today. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year. I have been enjoying some time away with my family & friends at the beach enjoying some sunshine. I’m back home today & back into the swing of things!
I thought I would kick off the New Year by catching up with a few photos I have been wanting to scrap. This one was taken in March 2013 with one of my BFF’s Tan & I’m finally getting around to scrapping it!

As always I use my absolute fav 3L product Dodz 3D to adhere my flowers. If you have never tried Dodz you really should! They are so quick & easy to use especially for flowers with no drying time!!

To adhere the lovely Kaisercraft Tea Break papers I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. To adhere the doily I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive. This adhesive won’t show through the transparent paper of the doily!

To achieve different layers & add dimension I have used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix
