Halloween Popcorn Box Pocket Album

Posted on September 27, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Fall Greetings! Shellye McDaniel here today with a unique way to use popcorn boxes to make an accordion style pocket album. This would also make a cute happy mail project for your Halloween lovin’ friends. I love making stuffed envelope style projects, and that’s what I based this Halloween Popcorn Box Pocket Album on.

Halloween Popcorn Box Pocket Mail Tutorial by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating with Popcorn Boxes

Happy Mail is one of my favorite things to create, so when I found these flat popcorn boxes boxes I immediately decided to make a pocket album that fits in the mail! Halloween Happy Mail!

To get started I pulled out four of the 3x3x4-in striped popcorn boxes, some Halloween papers and embellishments, and my favorite adhesives!

Begin by decorating the front of the flat popcorn box using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in to attach the pre-made chipboard spider. Next layer on the witch sticker and scalloped circle with 3D Foam Squares.

Next, to hold the pocket pages together, make strips of 3×12-in patterned and then fold them in half. Adhere the strips to the front and then back of the boxes with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. Make sure that the folds of the paper extend further than the edge so they easily fold. The folds are alternated to make it an accordion style, as shown below.

Filling the Pockets

Onto the fillers: I crafted paper wands, tags and ephemera pieces!

I love using Adhesive Dots 3D for attaching bows, die cuts and buttons to projects. These tags fit perfectly in the flattened popcorn boxes.

Finally these paper wands above are my favorites! Top each paper straw with a Halloween eraser. To hold the erasers on, wind Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in around one end 3-4 times to create a thickness. The erasers are there to stay!

Next add a glittered stripe to the straws. To do this carefully wrap Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in between the purples stripes. Remove the red liner and sprinkle with orange glitter. I love these!

You can find these cute mini popcorn containers at just about any craft supply store and they’re very inexpensive! I can’t wait to try out more themes for upcoming holidays.

Thanks for joining me today! Have you made pocket mail? Take a second to comment and tell me what you made. Be sure to pin this idea if you love it!

Foiled Frame Thanks for Everything Card

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Margie Higuchi

For a simple and clean style card, I choose to use Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Pack and 3D Foam Frames shape to make a foiled frame. This will anchor my stamped flower and a stamped sentiment. I love the look! Don’t we all need a thank you note ready to go? I’d like to share how I created mine so let’s get started!

Foiled Frame Thanks for Everything Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Foiled Frame

On a white A2-sized (4.5 x 5.5-inch) card base, I placed the largest frame from the 3D Foam Frames shape by removing the top liner. Then flip it over to adhere on top of the card base.

Once the frame is in place, remove the liner and apply the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Pack in purple. Make sure the color side is UP and gently rub with your fingers to transfer the color to the frame shape. You can touch up/refoil until the frame is covered completely.

Stamping the Flower Accent and Sentiment

Using the directions on the packaging, it was SO easy to stamp each layer without fail. Next, cut the image with its coordinating die through a manual die-cutting machine.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink, in the upper right corner of the card inside the foiled rectangle.

Lastly, add three 3D Foam Squares on the back of the stamped flower die cut and place it in the lower left corner.

The simple design with dimension and sparkle is a fabulous look. I hope you will try these elements in your next card making creation!

Ghost Shaker Card and Tag Tutorial for Halloween

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Teri here today with a frightfully fun ghost shaker tag and card to get you in the mood for Halloween. These projects are easy to make, and you can decide to make either the card or tag! Let me show you how.

Hi There Pumpkin tag and Happy Halloween Ghost card shaker tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Ghost Shaker Card

Start by cutting two 3 x 5-inch rectangles from cardstock. Cut a square window out of one of them, and then add a piece of transparency film to the window on the back side. I’m using E-Z Runner® Refillable Permanent Strips.

Apply patterned paper to the solid rectangle. Adhere several strips of patterned paper to the front of the rectangle with the window.

Flip the rectangle with the window over, and add several strips of Crafty Foam Tape to it. You can also use rectangles and strips cut from a 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

Place some sequins on the solid rectangle and mount the rectangle with the window to it.

Apply a piece of white cardstock to a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium. Die-cut a ghost from it. Don’t have a die like mine? Use a pencil and draw a ghost, then use cut it out with scissors.

Place the ghost on the window, and leave the top liner on the ghost. Add wiggle eyes and use a pen to draw a smile. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and position it under the ghost.

Finish the card by mounting the rectangles to a card and adding some sequin stars or die-cut stars, adhered with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Creating a Ghost Shaker Tag

You can easily make a tag to coordinate with the card! Rather than adhering your rectangles to a card, use a hole punch to poke a hole above the window.

Finish the ghost shaker tag by adding a little twine or ribbon to it. Use your completed tag to decorate a gift or add a touch of fun to a bag of Halloween candy!

I hope you are inspired to make a Halloween-inspired ghost shaker tag and card of your own! Thanks for stopping by today!

Monkeying Around Card Tutorial

Posted on September 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here today with a fun and easy little card. I’ve been “monkeying around” with this adorable monkey stamp and coordinating die set, featuring some of my go-to adhesives. Keep reading for the tutorial and all of the details.

Monkeying Around Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Monkeying Around with the Background Colors

Let’s start by creating a simple blended background using a combination of yellow and green water reactive inks with a blending tool.

I mixed two other darker green ink colours to stamp the background image on top of the blended card panel.

Lastly, I added a border of watered down brown to the edges of the card to create a one layer dimension.

Making a background with Distress Oxide inks on Monkeying Around Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the blended background card panel to a white cardstock panel, using the Double-Sided Tape Runner Strips Permanent Refillable. (This is the HomeHobby by 3L equivalent product to our E-Z Runner Refillable Permanent Strips.) Then add the layered panel to the white cardstock card base using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size for a pop of layer.

Die-cut the circular frame with white cardstock. Cut narrow strips of 3D Foam Creative Sheets and then slice those into small pieces. It makes it easier to add the white cardstock die cut to the card front.

Monkeying Around with Details

Stamp the monkey image with black ink. Colour the image using watercolor markers and a water brush. Die-cut the image using the coordinating die from the set. Add to the front of the card using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mini Mason Jar Party Favor Tutorial

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a tutorial for decorating mini mason jars. I espied these in my local bargain store and they really are mini and very cute. With the addition of some fabric, twine and die cuts, they make perfect table favors or gifts. It’s very easy to do with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!

Decorating Mini Mason Jars

Select some pretty fabric, I had a fat quarter, a linen design with small hearts but any scraps will do. In fact a perfect opportunity to use up fabric as you only need a slim strip for each mini jar.

Mini Mason Jar Party Favor Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut a strip of fabric long enough to go around the jars. Oo the reverse of each fabric strip, apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 inch. This super strong tape sticks to most surfaces, including paper, chipboard, glass, fabric, plastic, wood and metal. Wrap the fabric strip around the jar with the join meeting behind the handle, this conceals it well.

Decorating the Jar Front

Next step is decorating the jars with some die cuts and/or punch shapes. I selected a circle, round flourish, heart, and butterfly. You can tailor these to suit the occasion. Using both E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to assemble the embellishments. The 3D Foam Squares are perfect for dimension.

Position the decorations and affix into place with some more of that amazing Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 inch, this ensures they will stay in place during any event. Adding a little pearl to the center of the butterflies is a nice touch. Wrap twine around the neck of each jar and tie with a bow.

Fill the adorable mini Mason jar with candy. You could use alternative treats inside if you don’t have a sweet tooth!

Comparison of Thin and Original 3D Foam

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth, and today we’re going to compare our very popular 3D Foam products. I made 2 similar cards using Thin 3D Foam and our original height 3D Foam for this comparison.

Comparing Thin 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Squares + Card Mailing Tip by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

3D Foam Features and Benefits

Our 3D Foam is high density foam that doesn’t crush or dent. It retains it’s shape and height. It is acid free and archival safe for all your crafts.

3D Foam is double-sided with permanent adhesive. It adheres to Metallic Transfer Foil, glitter, embossing powder, micro-beads, flock and more! Decorating the top of our adhesives is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside, click to see lots of examples. The liners are easy to remove. It is a versatile adhesive, use it on paper, photos, metal, glass, plastic, vellum, fabric, ribbon and more.

Our 3D Foam comes in either Black or White, in a variety of shapes and sizes. Original 3D Foam is 0.08in or 2mm in height, and Thin 3D Foam comes in 0.04in or 1mm in height.

We offer 3D Foam Squares and Circles in both 1/4 and 1/2 inch sizes in the packages. Our Crafty Foam Tape is 13ft x 0.08in. These products are crafters’ favorites, and they’re the work horses of the foam product line!

For die cutting, punching or scissors/trimmers, we have uncut sheets. You’ll find Creative Foam Sheets Small White or Black or Mixed packages with 4 x 5 x 0.04in, or Creative Foam Sheets Medium White 6 x 12 x 0.08in. Each of these contain two sheets in the package.

Now for quick and easy crafting we offer 14 pre-cut Creative Shapes (Hearts, Trees, Stars, Frames, Pennants, Wings, Leaves, Snowflakes, Christmas Mix, Garden Mix, Cupcakes, Easter Mix, Party Mix, Butterflies) Just add a shape to your project, remove the liner and top with your favorite material like glitter, etc.

Does 1mm Make a Difference?

My cards feature almost all the same materials, but on the Hi There card I used the 3D Foam Circles and Squares in White, and on Good Luck I used Thin 3D Foam Squares in Black. I used the same cardstock and patterned papers on both cards. From the front they look very similar, right?

Good Luck card using Thin 3D Foam Squares + Card Mailing Tip by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L — Good Luck Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares

Hi There card using 3D Foam Squares + Card Mailing Tip by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L — Hi There Card using 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles

Look closer at the amount of shadow between layers.

From the side view notice these differences:

The Hi There card using 2mm 3D Foam Circles (above, right) is twice as high as Good Luck (above, left).
The Black Thin 3D Foam on Good Luck is camouflaged within the darker papers. You don’t see a contrasting color between the layers, and it is practically invisible. White 3D Foam is visible between dark layers. When using light papers, use white 3D Foam to reduce the contrast. You can color the edges with permanent markers or ink if you really want to make the 3D Foam match.

You can see above, from the side there is difference between the height of the two cards.

Dimensional Card Mailing Tip

Since our 3D Foam is high density and crush proof, it’s safe to use on cards you mail. The machinery at the post office won’t damage the foam. When pressed or squeezed, 3D Foam pops right up to it’s original height.

In the US, envelopes thicker than 1/4 inch (6.35mm) are subject to additional postage. That means you get up to 3 layers of original 3D Foam + your card/envelope materials, OR up to 6 layers with Thin 3D Foam Squares. That’s a lot of layers!

I hope you found this useful when deciding which 3D Foam height to use for cards, scrapbooking and mixed media projects. Be sure to PIN this post so you can refer back to it!

Create a Multi-Layered Thank You Card

Posted on September 17, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here today sharing how to make a multi-layered flourished card. I love elegant cards and thank you cards are always handy to have because you never know when you need one!

Create a Multi-Layered Thank You Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix are great for layering without making the card too thick. We like to mail these cards without extra postage! HA! My card has seven layers BUT it only measures about 1/8 inch thick. Come on and let’s get started!

Multi-Layered Card Details

Stamp sentiment with black ink onto white cardstock. Then die-cut and emboss it into a circle shape.

Tip: Use washi tape to keep the die from shifting while die-cutting.

Next die-cut and emboss the golden detailed flourished layer, as well as a white label panel, a blue label and a grey rectangle panel.

Then adhere Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of the panels (except for the grey rectangle).

For the flourished golden panel I cut some small 3D Foam Squares into two so they fit the die-cut without foam sticking out from under the die-cut.

Then remove the liners of the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and stack the panels.

Make the Card Base

First, make a white card base and adhere a blue patterned and the grey die-cut panel.

To adhere the blue panel to the card base use the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Before adhering the grey panel to the card base, place Creative Photo Corners Gold to all four corners.

Finally, adhere the stacked label and flourish panel to the card base with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

The Final Embellishments

First I adhered some mulberry flowers and leaves to the card using Adhesive Dots. For the flowers and larger leaves, I used Adhesive Dots Large and for the small leaves, I used Adhesive Dots Micro.

Then I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere stamens. Then add a satin bow with Crafty Foam Tape.

And voila…your multi-layered flourished Thank You card is ready!
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Personalize Soccer Party Favor Bags

Posted on September 15, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a quick tutorial for how to embellish team goody bags for a soccer party. Both of my daughters play soccer. You can usually find me looking for shin guards and cleats, washing uniforms, driving the soccer car pool, or cheering on the sidelines (rain or shine). Sometimes, my soccer mom duties include a fun craft project like this!

DIY Soccer Ball Goody Bag with Self-Laminating Player Card Key Chain Charms -Personalize Soccer Party Favor Bags Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My younger daughter recently traveled out of state for a soccer tournament. Several of the soccer moms worked together to make goody bags for the players. Word got out that I’m crafty, so I was assigned the super fun job of decorating the bags.

Embellishing the Soccer Party Bag

How to Embellish a Dollar Store Bag with a Clip Art Soccer Ball -Personalize Soccer Party Favor Bags Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Select a sports ball image from the clip art library of a word processing program and print it out onto white cardstock and trim with scissors. Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to secure the soccer ball to the front of the bag. This clear line of adhesive is immediately tacky and perfect for use on mixed media and paper construction such as boxes, bags, books, and other 3D projects.

Tie a ribbon bow around the handle of the gift bag.

Player Cards with Self-Laminating Pouches

How to Create a Soccer Player Tag Using Self Laminating Cards

Acid-free, archival quality Self-Laminating Pouches are cold laminating, so no machine is needed for this step! First, create player cards with the soccer team logo and player numbers. Next, print the cards to size, align the card inside the pouch, and remove the liner while pressing the sides together. Self-Laminating Pouches are clear and durable, and they safely protect the contents from handling and the elements.

Next, punch holes in the top of each card and attach a charm and a key chain. A player initial would also look great!

Finally, attach the key chain to the handle of the bag. Fill the goody bag with treats and pass out to the team. Once the goody bag is empty, remove the key chain charm from the bag and attach it to the soccer player’s sports bag.

Thanks for stopping by today! Adapt this simple soccer party favor for any sports team by simply changing the ball embellishment and ribbon and bag colors.

Until next time,
~Dana

Shiny Merry Christmas Card

Posted on September 13, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Hello blog friends! Judy here with a Shiny Merry Christmas card with greenery. Before the pressure of the holidays is upon us, I like to experiment with a few different Christmas card designs around this time of year. This is one of my first for the season. What do you think?

Shiny Merry Christmas Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Shiny Merry Christmas

For the top layer of the background I have with a grid design die cut, using black cardstock and applying water reactive ink on it. I like the way it looks! Adhere this piece over dusty sage green cardstock, using a combination of E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser (wider areas) and E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser (narrow areas).

Fasten the shiny red mat to the green cardstock with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Lightly spray the gray card base with the green ink spray to create speckles. When dry, fasten the grid layered panel the card.

Apply an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to the back side of red metallic cardstock and die-cut “Merry Christmas.” Remove the liner from the back side of the die cut and adhere the words onto the grey grid paper. No additional adhesive is required.

More Card Making Details

I die-cut different greenery branches from several colors of green cardstock. Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch on the back side of a piece of brown cardstock before die-cutting into pine branches. This makes it easy to assemble the boughs. I did the same for the tiny cream berries and overlay pieces of branches with oval leaves.

After cutting the greenery pieces, spray them with green ink spray. Attach the greenery to the card with Adhesive Dots Micro at the top where the bow will hide the ends.

Next use Adhesive Dots Micro to adhere the bow pieces together and place it over the greenery. The shiny Merry Christmas sentiment, bow and mat border adds a nice contrast to this more muted card and background. This card is 5.5 x 7 inches in size.
