May Flowers and Snow!! May 9, 2012

Hello Therm O Web fans!  Yes you read the title correctly, here in Wyoming the snow was flying on Monday.  On Saturday I planted my outdoor pots and of course it snowed!  I’m hoping that they survive.  I’m in need of a Tropical paradise and since I can’t go to one, I thought I’d scrapbook one.  I used a new product to create the flowers for this layout and it worked perfectly.  Therm O Web has a new product out called icraft sheets.  They are similar to the PeelnSticks sheets only they are sheets with adhesive circles on them.  I used them to create the large layered orange blooms on this layout.

Of course I used my favorite Therm O Web adhesives to hold this layout together.

Hope your weather is better than mine!  If not just create a layout about a nice warm place you’d love to be!!

Thanks for stopping  by the Therm O Web blog!

For U, Mom… May 7, 2012

Here’s a quick and easy card to make for your Mom for Mother’s Day.  This was easily made using the Sticky Tape Runner from Therm O Web.  The Sticky Tape Runner is a great permanent adhesive that holds pattern paper firmly in place and it’s one I always turn to, it’s just about the best adhesive on the market!  I hope you enjoy!

Thankyou so much for stopping by! Have a great week everyone!

Quick Graduation Card made from Scraps and the Icraft adhesive tapes May 6, 2012

I hope you had a productive and fun National Scrapbook Day yesterday.  I know I sure did.

One thing I love to do is use up some of my scraps.  Not only do I have scraps of paper but I also have ribbon, thread and fabric scraps.  For this card I reached into my scrap drawer and pulled out this cute owl paper from some long ago project and went from there.  I also had a short piece of corduroy ribbon from May Arts, I use ALOT of ribbon on my projects and I can honestly tell you the ICraft adhesive tapes work the best to keep the ribbon firmly attached to the paper.  I love the ICraft Line and go through it like crazy.

This card went together in just a matter of minutes and I think it will make a cute gift card holder for one of my nieces that is graduating this year.  What do you think?  Go ahead and challenge yourself to use up some of those scraps.  I dare you

Happy Mother’s Day card May 5, 2012

Hi everyone! Daniela here today with a card  using my favorite Therm O Web Products.

I used 3D Foam Squares by Therm O Web  to pop up the die cut.

I used Sticky Strip Runner by Therm O Web to adhere all my paper elements. To add the extra twine bows I like to use Small Zots Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web.

In addition, I used Small Zots Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web to adhere this acrylic embellishment to the card.

I used Medium Zots Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web to adhere the flower and lace.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you find these tips helpful.

Have a great day.

Mother’s Day Card and the Therm O Web Vellum Adhesive Runner May 4, 2012

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching I needed a couple of Mother’s Day projects done quickly. On one project I was using vellum and on the second I was using a transparency. To adhere both I turned to Therm O Web’s Vellum Adhesive Runner. Usually I shy away from both of those types of products for fear of seeing the adhesive through the transparent item, but not with Therm O Web’s Vellum Adhesive Runner. Just look at the vellum:

No adhesive in sight! And now check out the transparency:

Even on a white background you can not see the adhesive behind the transparency!

Now I am a believer! So if you are using vellum, transparencies, acrylic or other clear items on your mother’s day projects, I would definitely recommend Therm O Web’s Vellum Adhesive Runner!

DIY Faux Chipboard letters May 3, 2012

I love chipboard letters, but sometimes I just need a certain size or color.  There are so many styles, sizes and color, but for some reason it is not the EXACT size I need. So my solution is making my own.  Let me show you how I create my own Faux Chipboard letters.  I have an electronic die-cutting machine that I can size my letters the perfect size. Once I pick the font and size of the letters  I cut 4 -5 of the same letter. My favorite adhesive to use for any die-cuts are Sticky Dot Adhesive Sheets.

Supplies needed to complete my tag.

Simply peel back the protective sheet.

Add your die-cut to the sticky dots.

Pull the letter off the sticky dots.  You can see how they cover the die cut perfectly.

Adhere all the letters on top of each other to make your own Chipboard letter.

And now you have the perfect Faux Chipboard letter to add to your project. Here I have added the letter to a tag.

Till next time… Happy Crafting.

May Flowers and Mother’s Day May 1, 2012

Happy May! We didn’t get too many April showers this year, but I’m still more than ready for May flowers. Today I have a project that was created for the most recent Crafts ‘n things newsletter. It is a quick and easy gift for a mom who likes flowers (and who doesn’t?).

SuperTape around the top and bottom edges of the planter holds the paper securely in place.

I used the SuperStik glue stick to create the sign, along with another small piece of SuperTape to hold the wire in place.

and turned Crazy Coil Brads into roses.

Can’t forget one of my favorites – which I use on almost everything I make – 3D Foam Squares. Love the dimension they add to projects. Here it is used behind both the apron element and the stamped scalloped layer.

and I’ll let you in on something else… I picked up the planter at IKEA for only $2.99… but don’t tell my mom, okay? If you would like complete instructions, including a template for cutting paper to fit the planter, sign up for the FREE Crafts ‘n things newsletter and check out the April 2012 issue. Once you sign up you will have access to all the back issues as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

In Bloom…with Zots! April 30, 2012

Hello and Happy Monday Therm O Web fans!  As you know, I use ZOTS for literally anything and everything!  Today, I will share a couple of projects with you, and the magic of Zots and transparencies!

For this little Spring project, I added layers of pretty rolled flowers, die cuts, and transparency pieces…

and don’t you love how you don’t see any marks of the adhesive?  My daughter says it’s magic!  For us crafters, it sure is!

And for this card, the “Made with Love” Transparency at the top…the adhesive leaves no marks!

The ones I used for these projects are:

 

And the other Therm O Web products used were:

Sticky Strip Runner

Foam Squares

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day ahead!  Come back tomorrow to see what inspiration my fabulous DT members leave for you!

Happy Crafting!

It’s a Miracle.. Batting tape! April 29, 2012

I frugal… I save my batting scraps

Because I often closely quilt my work I can easily use them up!

When Therm O Web came out with Batting tape I was all over it!

Now instead of overlapping my bating

I cut the edges straight and lay them next to each other

The tape has the fusible on one side

the other is a fine gauzy material

see how thin it is?

Lay the fusible side down over the seam

Heat up your iron to wool or even hotter.. I use same setting I use for my Heat n Bond Lite

Heat long the length of the tape

for 15 to 30 seconds

see the backside?

this batting is READY TO USE!

I really love this stuff.. and so will you.. wink!

I blog daily about quilting.. come visit me at blog.patsloan.com
