Posted on April 23, 2019 by Teri Anderson

This ink masking technique is easy to pull off with the E-Z Dots ® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser! Let’s get started.

Trying Out the Ink Resist Technique

Start by stamping an image with black ink onto a panel of white cardstock.

Use the E-Z Dots ® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to roll several lines of adhesive dots over your stamped image. You can add as many lines as your heart desires.

Set your panel on a piece of scratch paper. Take one ink color and slowly apply it onto the panel with a sponge. Be gentle and not apply too much pressure as you ink.

Now, you are going to add two more colors of ink to the panel.

Continuing adding ink until your image is completely covered. Once are happy with the inking, and the ink is dry, you can use your fingers to rub off the adhesive. Go gently in a circular motion and the dots come right up!

I recommend rubbing the panel with a sponge once you’ve removed the adhesive, just in case you’ve missed any flecks. By the way, the sponge I used is a cosmetic sponge I found at the dollar store!

Create the Card

Now, you are going to use the panel on a card. Cut it into a circle.

Create a card from a piece of cardstock. Sponge some ink onto it and then adhere the circle to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I like to use the squares because they give elements on cards ‘pop’ but not too much. That way my cards aren’t too bulky and cost-prohibitive to mail.

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Adhere it below the circle.

Finish the card with a few sequins or gems! The micro-sized Adhesive Dots work great for small embellishments.

The thing I really love about this technique is you can create a lot of cards by using the same design. I also love that you can make each of your cards unique by using different ink colors.

Friends Scrapbook Page in Monochrome

Posted on April 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back, scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have a layout honoring my close friends in a simple yet striking monochromatic color scheme to share.

Sometimes you just don’t need a bunch of patterns and embellishments to create a beautiful scrapbook layout. Here are all of the details on how I created this layout using all white products.

Friends Scrapbook Page in Monochromatic Design by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Monochromatic Background

The layered background is a piece of 12×12-inch grey cardstock and a piece of white cardstock cut to 11 x 11-inches. Adhere these pieces together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Add the white cardstock die cut using Adhesive Dots Micro.

Cut strips of white cardstock that are 0.5″ wide, and a length of between 9-11″. Adhere these strips all across the layout using Crafty Foam Tape White, spacing them about a half inch apart.

The Small Details

Mat the photo in white and grey cardstock. Add Creative Photo Corners White to the corners of the photo. Adhere these layers together using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, then add another white cardstock mat, but adhere to the others using Crafty Foam Tape White. Adhere the matted photo to the middle of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Add the white flowers using Adhesive Dots Medium. Next, add 3D Foam Squares White Mix as embellishments themselves. They adhere to different levels of the layout for lots of monochromatic dimension.

These thin letter stickers were perfect for the layout. I added the first letter onto one of the raised strips, then the next in between the strips and so on.

Floral Mini Tags Tutorial

Posted on April 19, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today sharing with you some Floral Mini Tags, perfect to adorn little gift bags or boxes, and easily made with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives.

Floral Mini Tags Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mini Tags Step Outs

To start, I selected four white mini tags. These were purchased but you can die-cut them too.

Using the E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, apply diagonal strips. This clever dispenser applies strips that are only 1/8″ wide and it is centered on the liner for easy application.

Cover the mini tags with embossing powder, tap off excess and set with heat tool.

Four Striped Mini Tags

The narrowness of the tape makes the stripe design look light and delicate.

Next, I selected some die cuts, small oval, leaves, and flowers. I colored them with various distress inks.

Assemble the flowers and apply 3D Foam Circles White to the reverse. Available in two sizes in each pack, the smaller circles hold tiny embellishments securely in place.

Switching to 3D Foam Squares Regular for the reverse of the larger embellishments.

I finished with an additional touch of twine and little gemstones to the flower centers.

Here is another look at the mini tags! By varying where the ovals are placed, the tags are different but still have a coordinating look.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the great products on the website.

Easter Egg Tree Card with E-Z Runner Petite

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a cute Easter Egg Tree card. For the background, I used an intricate die-cut. The E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser is a great way to glue intricate designs onto a card without leaving glue residue. And the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen is a great tool to add tiny glittered details to your card. Let me show you how I made the card!

Making the Easter Egg Tree Card

Start by mounting a piece of dotted cardstock to a yellow panel and then onto a white card base, using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to adhere all the layers.

Did you know that E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser is a great way to adhere intricate die-cuts to a card…why? Well, because this adhesive consists of tiny dots!

Take a piece of copy paper and on top, place the silver die-cut with the backside facing up.

Simply push the lid open towards the casing and click to lock. Now you’re ready to use the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Run the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser over the back of the die-cut. When you lift up your die-cut you will see that the excess adhesive sticks to the copy paper and leaves no residue!

Next, place the die-cut onto the card base and adhere. Yep…it’s that simple!

Assemble the Card

Color the stamped Easter Egg Tree image and trim with a paper trimmer to fit on top of the silver die-cut. To adhere the panel to the card base with 3D Foam Squares

Cut a banner with an Easter sentiment, using scissors, and adhere to a slightly larger banner using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser

Gently bend the edges of the banner with your fingers and adhere to the card. I stacked two 3D Foam Squares White Small Size on each side. In the middle, I used three to lift it up a little extra.

Final Glitter Touch with the Dual Tip Glue Pen

The Dual Tip Glue Pen has two ends: a brush tip for larger applications and a very fine tip for precise application. Using the fine tip, I add my glitter to the details of the Easter Egg Tree. Simply add glue to the detailed designs and immediately after sprinkle clear glitter on top. Tap off the excess and let dry. Lastly, adhere rhinestones to the silver die cut.

DIY Farmhouse Planter Box

Posted on April 16, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how to embellish a store-bought wood planter into a piece of Springtime farmhouse décor. Spring is slowly making its way to my neighborhood. The weather is not warm enough to start planting my garden, but the sun is shining through my windows. To bring a little Spring into my indoor space I embellished a plain planter box. I added a galvanized steel word, bright yellow ribbon, and fabric daisies. If you think you need power tools and expensive hardware to create farmhouse décor, I’m here to show you a much easier option!

Planter Box Basics

I started this project with a 6×6 inch wood planter box. I chose a bright yellow burlap ribbon, to match the daisy flower centers, and secured it to the box with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 inch. Any color and type of ribbon will work for this step.

Farmhouse Details

Once the ribbon was secured to the planter, I bent a galvanized smile stencil by hand to fit over one corner of the box.

I placed Large Adhesives Dots along the top and bottom edge of the galvanized word and pressed it onto the planter. Next, I cut a piece of twine, looped it through the die-cut S, around the back of the box, and tied it into a bow, securing the end to the die-cut E. Finally, I filled the box with daisies.

The box included a zinc liner, and I plan to add live plants once the weather is a bit warmer. I hope I’ve inspired you to use your adhesives for home décor projects.

Twinkle Stars on a Galaxy Layout

Posted on April 15, 2019 by Christine Meyer

Have you jumped in on the galaxy trend? The more I dabble in it, the more I want to do with it. Knowing that my adhesives can enhance that trend even further makes it even more appealing. Hi, it’s Christine joining you today with ideas on how to make those stars twinkle on your galaxy style projects!

Twinkle Stars on a Galaxy Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This layout showcases A LOT of stars! The patterned paper in the background has stars printed on it. Then I added a string art star. Next, we have “stars” created with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Dot s. Finally, we have stars using the 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Creative Sheets! Let’s take a closer look at how I added all these!

Permanent Dots Twinkle Stars

This was a really easy look to achieve. I just ran my E-Z Runner® Grand with the Permanent Dots Refill really quickly over the paper – it was almost more of a dab than an actual run. Sometimes that resulted in a chunk of dots and sometimes very little. Then I took my Metallic Transfer Foil Holographic Silver and rubbed it over the areas. I did this along the inside and outside borders of the layout.

Because I knew this layout was going to be more “messy” than precise, I knew this technique could work. Additionally, I continued that approach by adding my washi tape border without concern for straightness and tearing my patterned paper edges.

3D Foil Twinkle Stars

3D Foam products are a standby embellishment for me! They allow you to personalize the embellishment and “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.” I added stars from the 3D Foam Stars in both the top and bottom corners.

Once you remove the top liner, they are exceptionally easy to add foil! Just a quick rub with the foil side UP and it’s on there!

3D Foam Creative Sheets Stars

As I finished off my layout I knew I wanted a few more big stars. But I didn’t have quite what I needed. In light of that, I pulled out the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and a star punch. I punched a few out and applied foil in the exact same way as above. I wasn’t sure if the 3D Foam Creative Sheet was going to be too thick for my punch but it wasn’t!

Thanks so much for joining me today!
