Mason Jar Ring Spring Ribbon Wreath

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a colorful mason jar ring ribbon wreath. I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring. I freshened up my front door décor with this simple farmhouse style wreath made from mason jar rings, ribbon, and double-sided tape.

Mason Jar Ring Spring Ribbon Wreath by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Double-sided tape is my preferred medium to use with ribbon for several reasons. I’m able to avoid the mess and drying time of liquid glue. Also, the ribbon does not become discolored from coming into contact with a wet adhesive.

How to Use Double-Sided Tape on Mason Jar Rings

Cut (or tear) Premium Double-Sided Tape to length and apply to the mason jar rings. I used Premium 1/2-inch Double-Sided Tape on the majority of my rings. Most of the ribbon I used for this project is 5/8-inch wide, so the 1/2-inch tape fits nearly edge to edge underneath. One ribbon I selected for this project is 3/8-inches wide, so I used Crafty Power Tape, which is about half the width of the Premium Double-Sided Tape, for those rings.

All varieties of 3L Double-Sided Tape are strong and are great for use on off-the-page projects. The paper liners tear by hand which makes this tape so easy to use! The tape is available in four widths and holds embellishments permanently. Try sticking it to paper, canvas, ribbon, wood, and photos, in addition to the metal shown here.

Once the tape was applied to each mason jar ring, I peeled off the white liner from the tape and smoothed ribbon over the adhesives. Next, I used a Mini Adhesive Dot to seal the end of each ribbon to the ring.

Please visit by my blog for instructions on how to assemble and embellish the wreath.

I’m thrilled with my new door décor! I chose a bright color palette for Spring, but this project can easily be adapted to match the mood of any season, sports team, or favorite color combination. Just change the ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A Clean and Simple Thank You Card Tutorial

Posted on March 2, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. Some crafty days it feels just right to make a clean and simple card. On those days it is always a white card that calls to me with a little dash of color along with my fantastic go-to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products.

A Clean and Simple Thank You Card Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Clean and Simple Thank You Card Steps

To start, I matted a stamped white card mat onto a white card front using my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Next, I die cut 4 small labels, 4 leaves and 4 little flowers. I attached 3D Foam Squares Regular on the reverse of each label and for the flowers and leaves, I used 3D Foam Squares Small. If you purchase a mix pack you’ve got both sizes to hand, perfect for all sizes of embellishments!

Designer’s Tip: When positioning the labels and flowers I used a ruler to check everything was aligned, no-one likes wonky flowers!

For an additional nice touch select an embossing folder and emboss just the flap of the envelope. I created a further flower and leaf and this time I used 3D Foam Circle to secure it in place. Again these come in a mixed pack and available in black or white so you truly have the best of both worlds!

The finished card with pearls for the middle of each flower. It is definitely white with those flowers and leaves adding a splash of brightness.

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

A House Is A Home Keepsake Box

Posted on February 28, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Whether you’re building one house or a whole village, these paper mache homes are a lot of fun to make. Just dress in paper and embellish!

A House Is A Home Keepsake Box by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To begin I chose a cardboard house with a removable lid. I traced the base onto scrapbook paper and then adhered to an Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch. Next, I trimmed the paper/adhesive out and carefully attached to the box.

I repeated the same steps for dressing the top/roof as I did for the base. Before attaching the paper, the pom trim was added using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in.

To the roof-line, I added drops of Adhesive Dots Mini and then topped with orange glitter. At the edge of the roof, I placed pieces of Creative Photo Corners White to mimic shingles.

Finally, I embellished the front with die-cuts made 3D with 3D Foam Squares. For the darker cloud, I added an extra layer of the foam squares to give even more dimension.

These sweet houses would be so cute dressed for Spring and lined up on a mantel or bookshelf!

Hello Card Tutorial with Holographic Foil

Posted on February 27, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! Sharing a bold Holographic Foil Hello Card today featuring the NEW 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. This rainbow foil in the pack looks so pretty on the letters, don’t you think?

Hello Card Tutorial with Holographic Foil by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create Holographic Foil Letters

First, I die-cut the letters with the steel rule die and the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White.

Take off the top liner of the cut letters and apply the rainbow foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack on top – COLOR SIDE UP. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the foam letters and peel off.

If there are missed areas, simply re-apply until you get your desired coverage. Love the bright multi colors! Truthfully, I wouldn’t usually choose something so bold and bright but I stepped out of “my box” a bit for this card!

Card Assembly

Next, take off the bottom liner of the foam letters and fastened to a white cardstock panel. So easy to stick them in place. Designer Note: I used a ruler along the bottom to align them straight.

Then add turquoise and purple card panels with the NEW E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. I love the size of it! Great for traveling and has 26 feet of adhesive – not bad for a little guy.

When putting together my narrow strips of turquoise and purple, I used E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. The narrow adhesive fits perfectly! Fasten the layered strips onto the card.

Finishing Details

Stamp “friend” on a piece of white cardstock with black ink and clear heat embossed it. Then mat it onto purple cardstock with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and pop it up on the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Here’s a couple more image as I try to capture the colors and shine. Such a fun pop of color and it looks different depending on how the light hits it.

Happy Crafting!
Judy

Planner Page Markers and Washi Tape Storage Cards

Posted on February 26, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Are you looking for a way to add a personal touch to your planner while keeping it organized? It’s Teri here, and I’m going to show how to create your own custom page markers and Washi tape storage cards. It’s quick and easy with Self-Laminating Pouches Small from HomeHobby by 3L®.

Creating Planner Page Markers

These markers are a great way to add a personalized touch your planner pages, plus they are wonderful for marking the planner pages you want to get to quickly. I like to keep my planner organized so I can flip to the page I need quickly.

Start by cutting several 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ panels of cardstock. These will serve as the bases of each of your page markers.

Decorate your cardstock panels with patterned paper and stickers.

To keep your papers from moving around, use double-sided adhesive to hold them in place. I recommend using a dry, permanent adhesive like the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser so that you can work quickly. Wet adhesives can make things shift if not dried completely. This adhesive is immediately sticky and requires no drying time or mess!

You’ll need one Self-Laminating Pouch Small for every page marker you want to make.

Open the pouch and set your decorated card on it. Remove the backing paper and seal the pouch. (Repeat this step for each page marker you want to make.)

Set your page marker on the platform of a manual die-cutting machine. Set a small circle die on top. Place the top cutting plate partly on the die, leaving half of it exposed. Run the marker through your die-cutting machine. You’ll end up with a tab that can easily be tucked onto a planner page.

The possibilities are endless with it comes to decorating your page markers. You can add calendars, pretty papers and, even, inspiring phrases.

Tape Storage Card (or Two)

Another fun way to add a personalized touch to your planner is to decorate it with Washi tape. My planner friends and I like to swap Washi tapes!

You can easily make cards for storing Washi tape strips by decorating cardstock panels just like you did the page markers. Consider using stamps or stickers to spell out the word “tape” on the top each card.

Once you’ve decorated your storage cards, seal them in Self-Laminating Pouches Small.

Tuck them in your planner by placing a self-adhesive Keepsake Envelope on one of your planner pages. Cover up the adhesive on the front of the pocket by placing a sticker or a tiny piece of cardstock on top of it.

Cross-Stitch Art with 3D Foam Circles Negatives

Posted on February 25, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how I created a piece of cross-stitch art. I used a White 3D Foam Circles negative sheet. Don’t throw away your empty 3D foam sheets! Instead, use it to highlight a fun stitching technique. I had a great time creating this delightful home décor craft that has me thinking Spring!

How to Create Cross-Stitch Art on 3D Foam Circles Negative Sheets

Peel the liner from the back of a sheet of Small White 3D Foam Circles. Cover the adhesive on the negative sheet with the white glittered flock. Use a soft brush to help spread and stick the flock to the adhesive.

Create a backing board for the stitched artwork. Cut a piece of cardboard slightly larger than the negative sheet. Cut patterned paper to cover the cardboard. Adhere the patterned paper to the front and back of the cardboard using E-Z Squares.

Peel the remaining liner from the back of the negative sheet. Press the stitched embellishment onto the front of the paper covered board.

How to Paint and Embellish a Frame for Cross-Stitch Art

How to Paint and Embellish a Frame to Hold Cross-Stitch Art Paint a wood chicken wire frame with a bright color of acrylic paint. Next, use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to add letters along the bottom edge of the frame. Finally, use Small Adhesive Dots to add colorful embellishments to the frame, like the flower button shown above.

Attach the piece of cross-stitch art to the frame with a clothespin and display!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I have inspired you to use every bit of your 3D Foam sheets! For more project ideas, check out my previous post where I use an entire sheet of Black 3D Foam Circles to create two cards. One card features all of the 3D Foam Circles. The other card highlights a fun stitching technique that uses the 3D Foam negative sheet.

Dog Bone Pillow Treat Boxes

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Terri Burson

Hello crafty friends, Terri here celebrating International Dog Biscuit Day! I’ll tell you, my dog will be very happy to learn that there’s a day to celebrate his favorite treat. Stay with me for a few minutes while I share creative tips for these fun dog bone pillow boxes. They’re perfect for gifting to your pet loving friends!

Pillow Box Dog Bone Treat Boxes by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Technology & Tools

I’m a tech girl, all the way. I love utilizing technology in my crafting. Although I used my electronic cutter to cut these pillow boxes and dog bone cut out, there are other options available. I’ll share more on my blog about the technology portion, but let me share a basic work around; tracing and printing. I think most of us have printers, don’t we? There are tons of free printable templates and images available online for just about any pattern, including pillow boxes. I was almost going to trace around my dog bone and trim it for a cut-out template! However, I remembered that I have a cartridge with a dog bone image so, problem solved.

Products with Duality

I love papers that can be used for more than one thing. I was so happy when I remembered that I had the Jillibean Soup Too Cool For School paper collection. It’s boy themed but guess what? It’s also full of fun images that served my purpose today. Like, that cute dog cut out! Do you know what else offers duality? The new E-Z Runner® Petite. It’s small, portable and sized for crafters on the go. It was so handy for this project and worked perfectly to seal my acetate cover for the dog bone cut out, and the folded flaps for my pillow box, as well.

Dimension Is Your Friend

I once had a friend tell me how to avoid one-dimensional projects. Layer, layer, layer. The same goes for dimension. You can never have enough for that the popping appeal that makes your craft projects stand out and get noticed. My dog and cut out sentiment are both popped up with the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. I love how it gives me an instant depth and brings cohesiveness to my projects.

Lastly, I brought out my Adhesive Dots Micro to tack some black and white twine to my box. It looks a bit like a leash, don’t you think? They’re hidden underneath those Jillibean Soup puffy stars.

Glittered Make A Wish Card

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a festive card embellished with glittered 3D Foam Sheets. Have you seen the NEW 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White? They are perfect for those larger die cuts like the one I used on my card! With this 6 x 12-inch size, I am able to die-cut this fun bubble shape with ease! No more piecing together small sheets to cover the large design.

Glittered Card with 3D Foam Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Wish Glittered Card

Let’s start with layering a rectangle piece of white cardstock to a grey panel (slightly larger than the white top layer). Next, adhere it to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser for all the layers.

To make my focal point, I first scissor cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White to fit the size of my etched die. Simply use the die as my guide.

Glittered Card with 3D Foam Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Remove the liner from the cut piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White and apply a piece of white glitter paper on top. Make no air bubbles form in between the layers. Place the etched die onto the glittered 3D Foam Sheet with the cut blade facing down to the glitter) and run through your manual die-cutting machine.

Leaving the foam paper in the etched die, remove the excess. This will not only help place the die cut on the card front but give me better control in keeping its shape as the design is intricate.

Now to position the glittered die-cut onto the card. Remove the liner and gently rub over the back of the filled etched die and the die cut will adhere in perfect shape to the card front.

Glittered Card with 3D Foam Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellishing the Card

Stamp the sentiment in black ink. Randomly place 3D Foam Circles White in both regular and small sizes on the card front. Make sure to keep the top liner on.

Glittered Card with 3D Foam Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut small pieces of Silver and Gold Glitter Foil sheets from the NEW Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. It’s easy to handle that the larger 6 x 12-inch format. Remove the liner from 3D Foam Circles and place the pieces from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors with the color side UP. Rub softly to transfer the color to 3D Foam Circle. Just peel off to see the color = instant gratification! LOL!

Glittered Card with 3D Foam Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Repeat for all the 3D Foam Circles White Mix on to the card. For the final touch, add pearls to the card for a festive touch!

Ready, Set, Travel: Part One

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy McLennon here, and today I have Part One of my traveler’s journal project to share. In March, my husband and I will be traveling to Spain. I wanted to share what I have done to prepare my travel journal for the journey.

I have been a journal lover in the past, both for writing and drawing. But this will be my first traveler’s journal, and I am very excited about that. For this journey, I chose to start with a journal (cover, notebook, and inserts).

Ready, Set, Travel: Part One by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Travel Journal Prep

I used the yellow Self-Laminating Tag for the tag that I added to the cover of my traveler’s journal. Inside the tag, I added yellow cardstock and red vellum to create the look of Spain’s flag. I then painted wood veneer letters black and added them to the tag using Adhesive Dots Micro. I didn’t use the loop to attach my tag to the book but instead used a silk ribbon.

Ready, Set, Travel: Part One by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

In the back pocket of my insert is where I will keep my Creative Photo Corners Kraft, Creative Photo Corners Black and my Keepsake Envelopes Mix. This way I will be able to easily pull out what I need while I create on the run.

The Keepsake Envelopes Mix will be perfect for adding little bits and pieces of memorabilia.

Ready, Set, Travel: Part One by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The final piece to take with me as I travel is my E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. It’s perfectly petite to add to my travel backpack.

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a decorated Memory Jar. These are so easy to create by repurposing an everyday jar and make wonderful gifts too.
