Adding Pom Pom Trim with Extreme Double Sided Tape

Welcome back crafty friends, Tracy here and today I have a fun and quick little tutorial to share on how I created this Get Well – Pom Pom Card. I love to add fun texture and dimension to my projects with pretty ribbon and trim. I want to share a couple of tips on how to do just that.

Adding Pom Pom Trim with Extreme Double Sided Tape by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Adhere Pom Pom Trim

I started with a plain white chipboard frame, and the pom pom trim I wanted to use. When it comes to anything trim or ribbon, I turn to Extreme Double Sided Tape. Using this tape will ensure that my textured pieces stay in place.

Adding Pom Pom Trim with Extreme Double Sided Tape by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/8″, I taped the edges of the chipboard frame.

Adding Pom Pom Trim with Extreme Double Sided Tape by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started adding the trim at the bottom of the chipboard frame.

Tip: If you ever anticipate imperfection, like the beginning and end of this trim, Place it at the bottom of a project. The eye is less likely to notice it there.

Adding Pom Pom Trim with Extreme Double Sided Tape by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Continue around the entire chipboard frame, one section at a time. Then I added another layer of Extreme Double Sided Tape to adhere the back side of the trim to the patterned paper in the next step.

Assemble the Card

I cut a piece of patterned paper to fit on the back side of the chipboard frame. The Extreme Double Sided Tape keeps it in place. Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser I added the yellow patterned paper to the card base.

Adhere the pom frame to the card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. The paper flowers were added to the card using Adhesive Dots and the sentiment tag was added to the card using 3D Foam Squares.

I added a burlap string bow to the tag as a finishing touch.

Adhesives for Unique Shapes

Have you ever looked at all the elements you want to include in a project and realized you have a lot of unique shapes?  That was the case for me today!  I was using this collection with a lot of round shapes, skinny shapes, and just plain obscure shapes.  I knew I had two products in my adhesive arsenal that were about to get a work out: the 3D Foam Circles and E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser!  Here’s the layout that required special attention!

Adhesives for unique shapes with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever used pieces shaped like lipstick, high heels, lips, and makeup brushes!  Additionally they all have pretty unique shapes and many are somewhat skinny!

Adhesives for Unique Shapes Close-ups

For this cluster of elements I used the E-Z Runner Micro on both the lips and the lipstick as I wanted them to lay flat.  I used 3D Foam Circles to pop up my sunglasses!  The E-Z Runner Grand secured my picture, frames, and patterned paper strips.

Here you can see how I pulled my title cluster together.  The E-Z Runner Micro go a workout on “glamour” along with the makeup brush.  While the 3D Foam Circles popped up the lips and perfume bottle.  I love that there are options for adding some great dimension within a cluster as well as keeping things flat!

While a collection like this could have been tricky to assemble, having the BEST and most DIVERSE adhesives around made the task easy!  Now what other unique items can I find to glue down???

Create Partial Foiled 3D Embellishments

Hello friends, Terri here and I’m popping in to quickly give you some tips for creating partial foiled 3D embellishments.   For my example, I’ve pulled some elements together for this Christmas card.  It’s never too early to get started on those holiday cards, right?

Create Partial Foiled 3D Embellishments by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Visual Appeal of 3D Embellishments

For my stamped and colored images, I wanted to add dimension and foil to select parts of my image for added eye candy.  This is easily achieved, thanks to my 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit.   Simply mask the part of your stamp that you do not want to be stamped.  As you can see, to the left of my photo below, I’ve stamped the star from the boy image and fussy cut the boys head and hands, further down.  In essence, I removed the star and replaced it with a foiled star as you will see.

Create Partial Foiled 3D Embellishments by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let Your Foil Shine With Adhesive Dots

In addition to fussy cutting and foiling the remaining stamped images (snowman’s hat and ornament girl’s metal top), I also wanted foiled embellishments on my last image, the Christmas Tree Girl.  I applied Adhesive Dots Micro to the tiny circle ornaments and rubbed in the gold foil from the 3D Creative Foam Embellishment Kit.  Make sure the foil is shiny side up, then peel.  Beautiful!

Create Partial Foiled 3D Embellishments by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foil All The Things!

Since I was in the mood to foil, I went to the extreme.  Literally!  I decided to add foil strips along the edges of my card panel, using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.  In fact, I used so many different adhesives on this project, it’s a veritable smorgasbord!  To round out the foil fest and adhesive buffet (getting hungry yet?  I am!), I used the Adhesive Dots Medium for my twine and button, the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix (to pop up all my stamped images), and my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.  The finishing touch?  My Dual Tip Glue Pen, to adhere my sequins.  I hope I’ve given you some good ideas on creating partial foiled embellishments!  It’s a great way to “Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside”!

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a cute card that will have you up in the clouds! I love adding dimensional accents to make my elements pop. Also, I am showing you to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the clouds and glitter, using Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Card Base Basics

Let’s start with the card panels, die-cut a rectangle shape from soft blue cardstock and then affix to grey card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next place the layered panel onto a white card base, again using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Adding Watercolors

First, stamp the image onto watercolor paper. Then watercolor the image. Die-cut the image into a rectangle shape and mat on a slightly larger rectangle shaped grey die cut with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. Adhere the panel onto the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making Clouds

Let’s make a background! Take a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch and remove the yellow liner. Place it on a piece of white cardstock and apply the adhesive to the cardstock by rubbing the Adhesive Sheet evenly.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now die-cut the clouds from the cardstock, making sure the white liner facing upwards.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To add the glitter to the clouds, sprinkle some white and silver glitter, white flock and micro pearls onto a piece of cardstock or tray.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Now remove the white liner from the die-cut clouds. Then dab the sticky side onto the mixture of glitter, micro pearls, and flock. Make sure you cover the whole cloud.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut some of the clouds into half (horizontal and vertical) and add Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back. Remove the liner from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and then adhere the clouds to the card.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Because the 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size are thicker than the clouds with the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix can easily be tucked under the stamped panel. Tip: I like to use tweezers for precise positioning of the clouds.

Up in the Clouds with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finish the card by adding a sentiment under the stamped image and…voila, your card is ready. Wishing you happy crafting!

CAS Be Jolly Snowman Card

Tis the season to be jolly with this adorable Snowman card! When you want your cute snowmen to have a pop of dimension on your projects, this is the way to do it while leaving your project with a very clean look. 3D Foam Creative Sheets, or in my case today because it’s what I had in my stash, the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit because both packages have the fabulous 3D Foam sheets with double-sided adhesive on both sides. That’s the magic product in this project!

CAS Be Jolly Snowman Card by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Getting Your Jolly On!

First, take your 3D Foam Creative Sheet and trim it to the size of the image you want to attach it to.

CAS Be Jolly Snowman Card by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Peel the liner off of the one side to expose the adhesive. Next, place your stamped and colored image onto it.

Because I cut a bigger piece than the image, trim around the piece of stamped cardstock to get rid of the excess exposed adhesive.

Place its matching die on top of the stamped image secure it down with washi tape and die-cut.

Now you have an adorable dimensional snowman die cut!

Peel off the liner to expose the adhesive side and add to the card. Repeat with additional images. To save time, die cut them all at once.

Ghostly Greetings Halloween Card

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a trick-or-treat themed Halloween card. My favorite time during Halloween night is the parade of trick-or-treaters. When I can, I stay home to pass out candy and admire all the costumes.

Ghostly Greetings Trick-or-Treat Halloween Card with 3D Foam

I added interest and dimension to my simple card design by creating with 3D Foam products and sparkly embellishments.

How to Add Dimension with 3D Foam Products

Glimmer Misted Trick-or-Treat Silhouette Chipboard Embellishment with Black 3D Foam Circles on a Halloween Card

I used Black 3D Foam Squares to add the orange patterned paper to the card base. Tattered Angels Afraid of the Dark Glimmer Mist was the perfect shade to color a trick-or-treaters silhouette chipboard embellishment. (I just love it when the name of a color medium matches the mood of my project!) The 3D Foam Circles Black Mix was just what I needed to secure the chipboard to the card. With two different sizes of foam circles in one convenient package, placing foam onto the smallest parts of the chipboard piece was easy for all-over support.

Designer Note: I prefer to use the black varieties of 3D Foam products on dark colored projects so that any adhesive that may be visible when looking at the project up close blends into the design.

How to Embellish with Micro Adhesive Dots

Stamped Halloween Card Sentiment with Micro Stars

I added a pop of contrasting color around the stamped sentiment by attaching small blue star sequins to the night sky background with Micro Adhesive Dots. The 3mm permanent adhesive dots allowed me to quickly decorate the card, because unlike a liquid adhesive, this bond is immediate so I could finish my card without allowing for drying time! The last element I added was a Black Creative Photo Corner to the top right edge of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have you picked a costume for Halloween? Let me know in the comments section.

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Everyday Life

Hi everyone, Christine here today with some tips on using Keepsake Envelopes in your everyday life.  I hadn’t realized just how much I relied upon these little treasures. Once you start, you’ll be using them everywhere!

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Daily Life by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

An Everyday Life of a Keepsake Envelope…

What is a Keepsake Envelope?  They are clear resealable envelopes with clear permanent adhesive on the back.  They are the solution to bulky or hard to adhere items on cards and scrapbook pages. You could use them to store and protect special items, such as a lock of hair, a coin or ticket.  But…they can be used for so much more!

View a brief How to Use Keepsake Envelope video below…

When you send a card and would like to enclose a gift card, check or perhaps a lottery ticket, pop a Keepsake Envelope inside.  Each pack comes with multiple sizes, small, medium and large so you’ll definitely find the size you need.

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Daily Life by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Keeping everything safe and organized.  I keep my camera in a box and I like to store a spare SD card there too, it stays safe and visible in a Keepsake Envelope, no more frantic rummaging to find that elusive SD card!

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Daily Life by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Whether you use a planner or a diary, Keepsake Envelopes create that perfect space for storing business cards.   I also have another one affixed to a page for keeping receipts and a small one for postage stamps.

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Daily Life by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This is my ultimate favorite suggestion for Keepsake Envelopes. I have one affixed to my car windscreen for holding car parking tickets.  So often the tickets fly away when placed on the dashboard, this keeps them secure and that parking attendant will see it for sure!

Keepsake Envelopes in Your Daily Life by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Think about using Keepsake Envelopes for shaker projects too – makes it truly easy! Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to pop a pack of Keepsake Envelopes in your shopping basket.Christine

Repositionable Adhesives in a Bullet Journal

Bullet Journaling has taken a special place for me in my Paper Crafting time.  It serves both as practical and creative planning and journaling time.  Today I am going to give you a peek into both sides of that as I do a weekly spread (practical) and use my repositionable adhesives to tap into my creative side!  Here’s my spread for this upcoming week!

Repositionable Adhesives in a Bullet Journal by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

While incorporating stickers and hand lettering are pretty much the norm for bullet journals, I wanted a way to add in some color!  Enter my E-Z Runner ® Grand Repositionable Dots Refill!

Repositionable Adhesives in a Bullet Journal by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Steps to creating this background using Repositionable Adhesives:

With that, I had color and creativity with the practicality of the spaces I need to capture my weekly spread.  Let’s take a look at the whole thing in the video!

Bullet Journal Video

As you may have noticed in the video – I used one other adhesive to help make my spread.

Repositionable Adhesives in a Bullet Journal by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

In addition to the Halloween stickers, I wanted to add in some black stars.  Alas, I had none in sticker form!  Therefore I pulled out my Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch, some black cardstock, and a star punch and went to work creating my own!

What ways are you using adhesive in your planners or bullet journals?  We’d love to see some of your tips, tricks, and creativity!  Thanks for joining us today!
