Flock and Glitter Background Tutorial

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Like to add texture to your handmade cards? Teri here to show you how to create a flock and glitter background with 3D Foam Creative Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Flock and Glitter Background Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Background

Start by cutting a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ rectangle from a 3D Foam Creative Sheet. You could easily do this with scissors or you can use a guillotine cutter.

Flock and Glitter Background Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once you’ve got your rectangle, cut five 4 1/4″ wide strips. You can make your strips the same size or you can mix things up and cut a variety of sizes.

Adhere all the strips onto an A2 top-folded card. Be sure to remove only one side of the foam strips’ backing papers. You’ll see why in a minute.

Now, remove the backing paper from the top strip of foam on your card. Randomly adhere some 3D Foam Circles onto it. You can make them as even (or uneven) as you want. Take off the backing paper after you’ve placed all the circles on the strip.

Adding the Flock and Glitter

Dump flock over the strip. Use parchment paper or wax paper to burnish the flock onto the foam strip and circles.

Now, you are going to move onto another strip! Remove the backing paper from the bottom foam strip on the card and then randomly add circles to it. Pull the backing paper off the circles and then dump some flock onto the strip and circles. Remove the excess flock.

Remove the backing paper from one more strip. You’ll add circles and 3D Foam Hearts to it. Place them onto the strip as randomly as you want them to appear. Take the backing paper off of the hearts and circles and then dump glitter all over the strip. Again, use parchment paper or wax paper to burnish the glitter onto the foam.

Flock and Glitter Background Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing the Background and Card

You should have two strips of foam left on your card to embellish. Remove the backing paper on one and adhere flock to it. Then take the backing paper off the other and apply glitter to it.

Complete the card by stamping a sentiment onto a strip of cardstock. Don’t have the right sentiment? Computer-generate one and print it out. Adhere it to the card with 3D Foam Circles.

Blessed Scrapbook Layout with Dimension

Posted on March 11, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends, and welcome back! Tracy here, and today I am going through how I create scrapbook layouts with dimension. I’m also sharing some tips and tricks to do so. I absolutely adore creating dimensional, full of texture layouts. I admit, sometimes they don’t fit wonderfully into albums. But, for example…this layout is one that I created as a gift, and its final home is in a shadowbox frame, given to a dear friend.

Blessed Scrapbook Layout with Dimension by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My first step is to create the layers of the background. When I know that am creating a dimensional layout, having a good solid base is very important. So to create the backdrop I use my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser paired with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. That way I know whatever I put on top of it, no matter how heavy, the background will be firmly and permanently attached.

Dimensional Blessed Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once I have the background sorted, I want the matted photo to stand out. Using 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape White for extra height, I add the photo to the layout. Doubling the Crafty Foam Tape White makes sure that the matted photo doesn’t get lost below the dimensional flowers.

Next come to the flowers, cheesecloth, and other small embellishments. Pull out your Adhesive Dots!! I start by laying out the flowers and embellies where I would like them to live. First add the cardstock die cut embellishments using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then use Adhesive Dots Medium for the larger flowers and Adhesive Dots Small for the smaller flowers and leaves. Anywhere that I have the cheesecloth, I did double up the Adhesive Dots Medium, this ensures that the cheesecloth stays put on the layout.

3D Foam Stars Scrapbook Layout

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Christine Meyer

Do you have a go-to technique with adhesive? Christine joining you today and I am always using the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique and especially love to use it on Scrapbook Layouts! Recently I showcased three different layouts showcasing that technique in Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Today I am going to share the first one with you – how I made 3D Foam Stars shine!

3D Foam Stars Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The 3D Foam Stars are probably my favorite of all the 3D Foam shape options. Of course, as a mom with three boys, it’s pretty rare to find any layout from me without stars on it!

3D Foam Stars covered with foil make this layout shine

As I created this I knew that I wanted to use a lot of 3D Foam Stars. But I also knew that they were going to get lost amidst the patterned papers I was using. So I took a slightly different approach – putting the bigger stars onto vellum. This softened the background significantly and really allow those to shine as embellishments.

I used foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit to cover all the gold stars. Applying foil to 3D Foam Adhesives could not be easier! I’m so glad there are so many foil options available now!

3D Foam Stars Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here’s another example of how well the vellum worked! I hadn’t tried this approach before, but I will definitely be revisiting it!

Here’s a quick video on How to Use 3D Foam Hearts and Other Shapes below (I skipped to the foiling part).

The Rest of the Adhesives

3D Foam Stars Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finally, let’s take a look at some of the other adhesives I used to make this layout. In order to add all my simple pieces, the circles, and photo mats, I used the E-Z Runner Grand. I popped my pictures up using 3D Foam Squares and Crafty Foam Tape. Lastly, I used the E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser to attach my cut file words.

I’ll be back later this month to share another layout with you! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Butterfly Spring Mini Gift Bags

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Terri Burson

Hello friends, Terri here with a pair of Butterfly Spring Mini Gift Bags. I love making little treat bags to have on hand for various occasions; gifting my co-workers, friends, family or teachers. Today, I’ll show you how to make those gorgeous butterflies using the 3D Foam Butterflies as an outline.

The Appeal Of Dimension

There are numerous ways to embellish your 3D adhesive foam products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Glittering and embossing are a couple of favorite techniques. However, those are one layer techniques. Although 3D foam already offers dimension, how about taking it up a notch and add dimension on top of dimension for your butterfly? Yes!

Butterfly Spring Mini Gift Bags by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use What You Have

I’ve had these pretty gems in my craft stash and thought they would make my butterfly really stand out. The 3D Foam Butterflies have a super sticky adhesive underneath the top lining. Just peel the top layer and add your gems. Once I began, I started thinking of other things I could use to embellish with dimension; tiny styrofoam pellets, sequins, candy sprinkles or even kosher salt!

Creating A Foundation For Your Butterfly

For my die cut paper bags, I don’t want to just plop the butterfly down and call it a day. I want to lay a foundation so it can stand out. Having multiple layers offers more visual appeal. With that in mind, I trimmed two 7″ pieces of ribbon. The white satin is larger so that will be my base. Because it’s thin, it will easily adhere and wrap around my box using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill.

Next, because my corded ribbon is thicker, the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in will offer an added level of security. I always use this super powerful tape when adhering ribbons of added thickness. If you have problems with your ribbons falling apart, give this a try. I promise you will notice a difference in quality and strength.

The final touch is adding the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, to pop up my sentiments. These sweet little mini treat bags are the perfect size for tucking in some sweets, a big cookie or gift card. It’s a great way to bring a smile to someone’s face. We could all use more smiles, don’t you think?

Golden Leaves Card Tutorial

Posted on March 7, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a sparkling Golden Leaves Card using Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to make gorgeous golden stickers to embellish your card.

Who can resist vellum? It’s very delicate to adhere but I will show you that the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser is perfect for adhering without showing! Let’s get to it.

Golden Leaves Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Golden Leaves Card Top Layers

Start with adhering the first layer of dark pink cardstock that is slightly smaller than the white card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

For the second layer, I used a soft pink cardstock. Choose a rectangle die that is slightly smaller than the first layer. Die-cut, emboss and sand the embossed edges of the card layer. Put aside to make the gold leaves.

The Golden Details

Take a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch and remove the yellow liner. Place on the back of a gold mirror cardstock. Now you have made a beautiful sticker sheet that is ready to be die-cut.

Golden Leaves Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

View a quick How to Use Adhesive Sheets video below.

Die-cut several leaves from the gold sticker sheet created. Place them on top of the soft pink layer to determine placement. Don’t forget to place a few off the edges.

After I was satisfied with the number of die cuts and placement, I removed the white liner from the back of each leaf and adhered down to the layer.

Trim off the excess from the edges with a pair of scissors. The reason why I didn’t adhere my top layer to the card base yet 🙂

Finally, adhere the top layer the card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing the Card

First die-cut a banner from white cardstock and adhere to the card using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Next die-cut and emboss several flowers from vellum. Curl the edges of the flowers using your fingers for dimension.

Golden Leaves Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The best way to adhere these flowers to the card is with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser is slightly opaque, but will dry clear over time! Next, add self-adhesive pearls to the flower centers.

For the final touch, cut a sentiment banner and adhere to the card using two tiny stripes cut from Crafty Foam Tape White.

And voila, your Golden Leaves card is ready! Wishing you happy crafting!

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.

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

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!

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.
