Happy Birthday to You! Card Make n’ Take with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

December 6, 2017 by FaveCrafts

Here at Prime Publishing, we love it when we get to try new projects with some of the brands we work with! Last week, our friends from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L came by our Northbrook, IL office to teach us how to make a darling birthday card.

Happy Birthday to You Photo Corners Card

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L likes to promote “wearing adhesive on the outside”, which is showcased beautifully in this birthday card with the photo corners! Several of our editors signed up to make this fun card.

Editors hard at work putting together their cards!

Media Director Beth Pingry showed us how to use their E-Z Runner® Grand to adhere the layers of paper. We also used 3D foam adhesive between some layers to give the card more dimension.

Did you know it’s easier to place all the photo corners on the card before pressing it down? For some reason I thought positioning the paper first would be better, but not so! It’s much easier to get the photo corners in place before pressing it down.

Margie and Beth trimmed the photo corners down ahead of time for us, which made them easier to work with! They come packaged on a larger sheet.

Aren’t those foil shapes darling? Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L sells foil that works with their adhesive shapes for an easy and pretty embellishment.

Here’s what some of our editors had to say:

“I was amazed how quick and easy the project was! When I saw what we would be making, I thought it looked so beautiful and complex that it would take at least an hour – but the whole project only took 30 minutes! The photo corners are so fun to work with, and I love the vintage touch that they gave to the final card.”- Chelsea Scarnegie, AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com Editor

“I’ve done a decent amount of scrapbooking, and these were my favorite photo corners. I loved how the back portion extended out an extra long distance, providing more stability for the paper. And the ability to make cards that were three-dimensional was so much fun—it was like something out of the pretty card section at a store.” – Jessica Thelander, 103 Recipe Cookbooks Editor

“I really enjoyed using the products from Scrapbook Adhesives to create a beautiful birthday card. Specifically, the photo corners we used made the design pop and provided a fun retro vibe. I also loved using different layering techniques and adhesives to add dimension to the card. I haven’t decided who will be the lucky recipient of the card, but I’m sure he or she will be very impressed!” – Kathryn Abrams, AllFreeKnitting.com Editor

“I really enjoyed how easy making this particular card was! You could easily make a lot for say, Christmas, in no time at all. I thought the creative possibilities with the photo corners (especially when they showed us the other colors they came in) were amazing!” – Jamie Garcia, RecipeLion.com Editor

“I really liked the card that we made. It was easy to construct, and the finished product was lovely. I was also impressed by how many different ways you can use the photo corners. I never would have guessed how versatile they are!” – Kristin Anderson, TheWineBuyingGuide.com Editor

“I really enjoyed the make and take with 3L! The photo corners were easy to use and added a lot of character. I especially liked the foil accent – it was so simple but added sparkle without creating a mess like glitter sometimes does. I’m going to give this card to my mom for her birthday!” Natalie Taylor, AllFreeCasseroleRecipes.com Editor

Let It Snow! Make n’ Take Fun with Therm O Web

December 10, 2016 by FaveCrafts

On December 8th, we had the lovely opportunity to learn how to make a foiled card with Dawn from Therm O Web! If you’re not sure you’ve heard of Therm O Web, you’re probably familiar with their Deco Foil sheets (among other adhesive products)! We had a wonderful time playing with this Deco Foil on our cards.

Dawn brought a lovely package of materials for us to do our make and take, and the card was so fun and easy to put together. See that circle with “Let it snow” written on it? That was printed with a laser printer, and laser ink works with Deco Foil. Note: you must use laser ink. Foils do not work with an inkjet printer.

Behold! All you need to adhere the foil to the ink is a laminator machine. Run it through…

It came out perfectly!

You can also stick the foil to glue from Therm O Web’s Deco Foil adhesive pens. We drew stars and snowflakes inside the cards, added the foil, and boom:

Easy as pie! Using the adhesive pens and bits of foil is such a great way to add a bit of interest to any blank spot on a card, scrapbook layout, or any paper craft.

Die cutting the circles gave us, of course, perfect circles, and also added some lovely layers to our card.

Here is what some of our staff had to say:

I sent this card to my friend, and she was shocked that I made it myself. This card was easy to make, yet it looked like it was made by a professional. -Beth Ann Morely, Editor

“I’m not the craftiest person, but using the Therm O Web products to create such a beautiful seasonal card was easy! I love the way the finished product looks. The different colors and textures make the card unique and unlike anything you’d see in a greeting card store. The hardest part of the process was deciding who would be the lucky recipient of such a stunning handmade card!” – Kathryn Abrams, Editor

“I love the look of homemade cards, but I hadn’t done much paper crafting before. It was great to learn a new skill while trying out Therm O Web’s products. I especially liked using the Deco Foil – it made the cards look so festive and fun. Plus, I got to take home a beautiful holiday card at the end!” – Natalie Taylor, Editor

“It was so much fun having Therm O Web in the office. Not only was the card that we made beautiful, it was surprisingly easy to create! Even some of our editors with minimal craft experience created something truly stunning. As a company, we welcome any opportunity to step away from our computers for an hour or two and explore our creative side as a group. It’s an added bonus when we get to play around with the products that we write about on a daily basis, and get to know the faces behind the names of our company contacts!” – Jenny Benoit, Managing Editor

Clearly we had a great time!
