Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L at the Mall of America - Crafty Power Tape - Glitter Border Tutorial

Hello blogging friends!  A couple of weeks ago I was up at ScrapFest at the Mall of America.  I was working for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ and I met so many wonderful ladies during the event! I ran into some local friends who were at the event and also some friends from FB--love being able to see everyone.  ;-)  If you haven't ever been to ScrapFest it is a fantastic time, the mall is filled with booths from all of your favorite companies and they are all doing make-n-takes, classes are also offered by most of the companies and from Archiver's. I have a couple of pictures to share but it was so busy I really didn't have time to take many picture.  We did around 575 make-n-takes a day (give or take a few). 


The lines.  ;-) 



Lots of ladies in line for make-n-takes.




These are some of the cards we did for make-n-takes during the event.


This is a card I had at ScrapFest for a sample.  Scrapbook Adhesives is known for Wear your Adhesive on the Outside and showing different ways to use adhesive.  For this card I used the Crafty Power Tape to make the beautiful and sparkling glitter border along the side of the card and I have a tutorial to share with you.  Several people at ScrapFest thought there was glitter tape on the card and they were so excited to hear it was Crafty Power Tape and glitter.  They loved the idea of being able to customize the card with whatever colors they wanted to use.  


To start I added one strip of the Crafty Power Tape to the side of the cardstock.


 Then I applied the Copper glitter to the strip of tape.  I just used my finger to rub the glitter on.  I like to use the You're So Fine Glitter from The Rubber Cafe' because it is ultra fine and works so wonderfully for this technique.  Then I used a fluffy paint brush to remove the excess glitter.  


Next I added another strip of tape and then added Limeade Green glitter.


I used Bronze Medal for the final color of glitter.  See doing the glitter borders is so easy--gotta love it!!


I used Simply Smooth Ivory, Orange Fizz papers from Discount Cardstock and die templates from Spellbinders.  These are the different die templates I used, S4-161 Labels One, S4-379 Decorative Labels One, S4-385 Little Leaf Sets, S5-120 Fall Foliage.  For the leaves I used Craft Foil from Spellbinders.  The sentiment and leaf image are from the CR-03870 Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves stamp set from JustRite Papercraft.  I also used 3D Foam Squares to add some dimension to the label and leaves.



Here is another quick card using the same technique with the Crafty Power Tape and the glitter.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful and creative weekend!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi
