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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Decorated Memory Jar Tutorial

Posted on February 19, 2019 by Christine Emberson

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. You can pop little photos inside and notes that mean something to you and then fix a date to open it up and remind yourself of lovely events, sentiments and feelings.

Memory Jar Step Outs

Select a jar, any shape will do as long as you can insert little photos and notes. It is possible to purchase printers to produce photos from your phone if you wish.

Calculate the size of the jar lid and select a pretty die cut to affix to the top. Using strips of Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4 inch will hold this in place perfectly.

For the lid decoration, I’ve chosen die cut flowers and leaves that I’ve colored with distress inks Affixing 3D Foam Squares Small on the reverse of each leaf gives wonderful extra dimension.

Stamens inside die cut flowers look extra realistic. To hold the stamens in place use Adhesive Dots 3D. Trim the stamens, pop them through the layered flowers and cover with the Adhesive Dot on the reverse.

I selected a kraft tag to tie around the jar and stamped a suitable sentiment.

Dear Syd Dimensional Scrapbook Layout

Posted on February 17, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Happy February, Shellye McDaniel here with a sweet dimensional scrapbook layout featuring my girl, Sydnee. In the middle of the winter months, I thought it would be nice to change up to spring colors. It goes well with the picture, don’t you think?

Dear Syd Dimensional Scrapbook Layout by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Start of a Dimensional Scrapbook Layout

I chose bright patterned papers from a favorite collection. To reduce the busy-ness of the floral pattern paper base, I cut the pink wavy paper down 2 inches smaller than the base paper. From the start, dimension was added by attaching it to the center with Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Dear Syd Dimensional Scrapbook Layout by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, I cut a strip of green dot paper to anchor the layout and added it to the bottom using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots. It’s so easy to change out the E-Z Runner Grand Refills! Simply open, take out the refill inside and drop in the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill! I’ll share the quick video below. To attach the scallop border sticker, I used 3D Foam Circles Black Mix.

View a quick video on How to Use and Refill the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser.

Finally, I used the Adhesive Dots 3D to adhere to bulky embellishments such as the crochet flowers. They really do STICK! Did you know these Adhesive Dots have a unique patented single dot dispenser provides touch-free application? I’ll share a short video on this too 🙂

Footprints in our Hearts Mosaic Card Tutorial

Posted on February 16, 2019 by Margie Higuchi

Today I have a square kraft card to share with you. What is so unique is I mimic the shape and size of the Mounting Squares. I was inspired when I saw DIY Mosaic Background by Dana Tatar – loved how it turned out. So here’s my take on a baby card I created for a baby shower I attended. What do you think?

Footprints in our Hearts Mosaic Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Going a little Mosaic Crazy!

First I cut my patterned paper into 1/2 inch wide strips and then cut into 1/2 inch squares. This size worked well with the Mounting Squares 250 White. But we have other sizes of Mounting Squares that you can try too.

I applied a Mounting Square onto the back of each square and then added them onto a 5 x 5-inch square card panel.

After I cut a piece of 3 x 3.5-inch blue patterned paper card panel and the 2.5 x 3.0-inch sentiment panel. Ink all the edges with dark brown ink, using an ink applicator.

The mosaic card panel adhered with Mounting Squares 250 White was centered onto the card base.

For the blue card panel, I wrapped a piece of narrow white ribbon around it and tied with a simple bow, secured with an Adhesive Dot Small on the panel. Then I added Mounting Squares to the back (including the ribbon for extra security). Also, add the Creative Photo Corners Kraft to each corner before centering it onto the mosaic card panel (forgot to take a step-out picture of this ;)).

The sentiment panel adhered with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size was placed on top of the layered card.

The finishing touch was adding the button on top of the bow with an Adhesive Dot Small and it’s ready to give!

Sweet Shoppe Valentine’s Treat Box Tutorial

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m excited to share Sweet Shoppe Valentines Treat Box with you today! I think it turned out so cute! I used a holiday die set but embellished it for Valentine’s Day.

Sweet Shoppe Valentine's Treat Box by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a Sweet Shoppe Base

To make this treat box, cut 2 cottage treat box pieces from pink cardstock. Position inner window dies on treat box and die cut. I cut a window centered on each side and on the back and offset the one on the front to allow room for the door.

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to back of white cardstock. Cut one door and three window frames from it.

Remove adhesive liner and fasten window and door to treat box. Cut acetate slightly larger than windows. Attach it to the inside over windows using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ inch to tabs. Remove liners and adhere sides of treat box together.

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ inch to two opposite bottom flaps. Fold in flaps without adhesive first. Fold flaps with adhesive and secure by pressing from the bottom and inside the box. I set the treat box on my work surface after flaps were aligned and pressed from inside.

Adding All the Details

Cut three scallop pieces from red glitter cardstock and one from white cardstock. Cut two scallop strips into sections of two to make four sections of two scallops. Use small squares from 3D Foam Squares White Mix to fasten a scallop section over each side and back window.

For front window, use Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix small squares to fasten it. (This is so it will fit under the awning). Attach white scallop piece behind glitter scallop with narrow reveal using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. Attach it across the front with small squares from 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to the back of small pieces of red glitter paper. Cut 3 swirly pieces from it. Remove adhesive backing and position one above each side and back window

Sweet Shoppe Roof of Photo Corners

Cut 2 pieces of 1¼ x 2½ʺ Kraft cardstock to fit the roof. Add Creative Photo Corners Kraft by starting with 3 centered across the bottom edge. Add four over them with points even with first three. Allow photo corners to extend beyond side edges and trim when finished. Attach the next row offset and above the first three. Cut photo corners in half to fill in at edges. Continue to add photo corners so there are 6 rows counting first two layers as row one. Repeat for second roof section. Use large squares from 3D Foam Squares White Mix to secure the photo corner roof to the treat box.

Cut two strips of kraft cardstock to fit over the photo corners at the rooftop (about ¾ x 2½ʺ). Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive and attach it over photo corners at top of treat box roof.

Adding the Final Touches

Remove the liner from one small 3D Foam Heart. Place red foil from 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit over the heart and rub to transfer Metallic Transfer Foil to heart. Remove foil sheet. Repeat for four small hearts.

Add one 3D Foam Heart to the door and one above each side window. (4th heart for tag)

Handwrite “Sweet Shoppe” on a tiny piece of Kraft cardstock with black fine point marker. Use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back. Add to a white mat. Cut small squares of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix in half. Use to attach sign above the door on treat box. Add a dot of black Enamel Accents for the doorknob.

Sweet Shoppe Finishing Touches

For the tag, cut white cardstock ⅞ x 1⅛ʺ and Kraft cardstock 1 x 1¼ʺ. Stamp a verse with black ink on white piece. Adhere to Kraft piece using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Add heart to tag. Punch a hole at the top. Tie to Sweet Shoppe Valentine’s Treat Box with twine. I tied it to front handle only so the box can be opened without removing the tag.

Even the back side is cute with the treats show through the windows!
