Festive Plaque using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. The weather has turned so much cooler here in England that it has made me think about Christmas! I’ve created a festive plaque with a bit of up-cycling and using Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″. It’s fun and easy!

Let’s get started…

I picked up a wooden plaque in a sale that had a summer message. I coated it lightly with regular white paint.

Once dry I sanded it a little and added distress ink to the edges. I didn’t mind the original wording showing through, it added to the distressed look!

Using Adhesive Sheets…

To adhere my sentiment die cut I chose to use an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″. They come in a variety of sizes (12 x 12″, 6 x 12″ and 4 x 6″) perfect for all projects. Take off the top liner sheet of an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ and apply cardstock on to it. Die-cut through your machine. When you remove the sheet your die cut has an edge to edge layer of adhesive.

Here’s a quick video on How to Use Adhesive Sheets for Die Cutting below.

Once the black sentiment was affixed to the white shadow die cut, I used 3D Foam Squares White Small on the reverse. These will hold the sentiment perfectly in place on the wooden plaque.

I created a poinsettia flower as an embellishment and affixed a 3D Foam Circle to the reverse. These are just the right shape for flower embellishments and each pack contains both small and large circles.

The finished plaque, it won’t be long before it will be up with all the other festive decorations.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make your next die cutting project with Adhesive Sheets, it’s a breeze!

Halloween Glitter and Washi Tape Treat Bag

Posted on September 17, 2018 by Shellye McDaniel

Greetings! Shellye McDaniel here today with a quick and simple Halloween Glitter & Washi Tape Treat Bag.

Halloween Glitter and Washi Tape Treat Bag by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For this project, I have used a standard white 4 x 7.75″ paper sack, a large wooden 3/4 x 3″ clothespin, scrapbook papers and die cuts, and black/white dot washi tape.

From Scrapbook Adhesives I have used: Adhesive Dots Small, 3D Foam Squares White Small and Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch.

Halloween Glitter and Washi Tape Step Outs

To get started, I grabbed a roll of black and white dot washi tape. Next, I cut a strip of the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch the same width as the tape.

After that, I applied the tape to the adhesive strip. I used a 1/2″ round punch to cut out circles from the strip.

Next, I removed the backing from the washi dots and adhered them to the bag in a random pattern.

Between the washi dots, I attached Adhesive Dots Small that I sprinkled with orange glitter. Don’t forget to tap off the excess! This simple technique is “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” 🙂

I finished off the bag with a decorated clothespin. To do this, I measured and cut the patterned paper so that it was just a bit smaller. Next, I used a strip of the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to join the two together.

Finally, I added a couple of die-cuts using 3D Foam Squares White Small and Adhesive Dots Small. I chose to use a single Adhesive Dot for the bat so that I could fold the wings up a bit. I really like the dimension that this gives!

To tie the clip in with the bag design, I added an Adhesive Dot to the pumpkin and then I added orange glitter to it as well.

Now my bag is ready for stuffing with treats and giving!

Thanks for letting me share with you today!

Celebrate 14 with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on September 15, 2018 by Shannon Morgan

Good morning! Shannon here, sharing a layout to celebrate my sweet daughter’s 14th birthday with some sparkly 3D Foam Hearts. I love capturing my daughter, Mackenzie, in pictures. Granted, it’s a hard thing to do these days – lol!

Celebrate 14 with 3D Foam Hearts by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I gathered up my supplies to use on my layout. 3D Foam Hearts would be the feature element in the layout because they are so fun to create with and will stand out if I use “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” with glitter!

Celebrate 14 with 3D Foam Hearts by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Celebrate a Page with 3D Foam Hearts!

This “rare to capture” picture of my beautiful Mackenzie will be the focus of the layout. Of course, I will layer my layout, it’s a trademark of mine 🙂 My go to is the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and it will get the job done!

Celebrate 14 with 3D Foam Hearts by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To create interest and dimension to my layout, I used 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. It’s behind Mackenzie’s picture to lift and make a shadow effect.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

What would you do with 3D Foam Hearts? The possibilities are endless. The versatility of the foam shapes by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L accents projects perfectly.

As you can see from the finished layout, I used mine with gold glitter! A good ole white plate does the trick for catching the excess glitter. For a fun twist, I added sequins here and there on some of the hearts before sprinkling the glitter. Next place the hearts randomly on the layout.

Here’s a quick video on How to use 3D Foam Hearts and Other Shapes.

Final Touches

Some words were added and sprayed ink mist to my layout. Admittedly, I am quirky in the sense that a layout doesn’t feel finished unless I add mist to it!

There you have it! Here’s a close up of my layout and you can see how much dimension brings a page to life. I hope this inspires you to create some fun stuff!

3D Foam Leaves FALL Banner

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Judy Hayes

Judy, here with a small FALL Leaves Banner featuring 3D Foam Leaves covered with heated embossing powders. In an hour, you can create this home decor piece to keep or give as a wonderful seasonal gift.

3D Foam Leaves FALL Banner by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating Fall Leaves Banner Basics

The banner measures 4.5 x 5.5 inches plus the twine hanger. Stamp the natural canvas base with a script design using Archival ink. For interest, fray its edges and bottom.

The letters for “FALL” are cut from 3D Foam Creative Sheets (black) with black cardstock fastened to one side before die-cutting. Once cut, they become dimensional letter stickers. Simply remove backing and place on the burlap border. They really stick to it! To create a faux stitching design simply use a black marker.

The burlap paper is fastened to the canvas with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ which is a very strong adhesive. It also fastened the canvas in back to form a casing for the twig. Makes for no sewing!

Leaf Details

The leaves are 3D Foam Leaves which were dipped embossing powders and heated. Just remove the liner from one side and cover with embossing powder. Use tweezers to hold leaf by the stem to remove the other backing and cover with embossing powders. Keep holding with tweezers to use a heat gun to melt the embossing powder. It’s worth the patience!

Shape the leaf while it’s still warm. All the embellished leaves are held on the banner with Adhesive Dots 3D. They really stick well to the canvas! A twine bow is fastened with Adhesive Dots Small.

Tie the twine to ends of twig to finish. It’s the perfect size to hang on a doorknob.

Happy Fall!
Judy

Distressed Foiled Accents Card Tutorial

Posted on September 13, 2018 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Teri here with a stamped card featuring some distressed foiled accents that are easy to make with products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. Let me show you how you can make your own accents for your next card or scrapbook page!

Distressed Foiled Accents Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Circle!

The circle is easy to recreate! Start by cutting two circles from cardstock. One should be slightly larger than the other. Stamp a sentiment on the small circle. Set it aside.

Take the larger circle and place it on scratch paper. Run several lines of adhesive along the edges with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t fret if you miss a spot or put too much adhesives on the circle.

Distressed Foiled Accents by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Take a piece of foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. Set it over the adhesive and burnish it to the circle with your fingers. (A bone folder works well for burnishing too!) Again, don’t worry if you don’t get foil on all the adhesive.

Distressed Foiled Accents by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now, comes the fun part! We get to distress! Take a nail file and lightly sand the foil and adhesive. Keep going until it’s distressed as much as you want it distressed.

Adhere the circle with the stamped sentiment onto the distressed foiled circle and mount it to your project. Want the sentiment to pop? Consider adhering it to the larger circle with Crafty Foam Tape White or Crafty Foam Tape Black rather than the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Distressed Foiled Accents by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making Distress Foiled Tape!

Another fun Distressed Foiled Accent to create is faux Washi tape strips! These are so easy! Simply take the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and run a couple strips of adhesive along the top and bottom of your card or scrapbook page.

Distressed Foiled Accents by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set some foil on top and burnish it with your finger or bone folder. Remove the excess foil and use a nail file to distress the foil. Keep going until the foils looks as distressed as you would like it to be! Remember, the more you sand the foil, the greater distressed it will be.

I hope you are inspired to make your own distressed foiled accents for your next project. Just a few of these accents can add a whole lot of style to your cards and scrapbook pages without putting a lot of work into them!

Twine Wreath Layout with Adhesive Lines

Posted on September 11, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back crafty friends, Tracy McLennon here and today I have a fun and easy twine wreath layout tutorial using Adhesive Lines.

I don’t know what it is about circles, but I love a layout that incorporates circular elements. One of my favourite ways to do this is by creating a wreath. A wreath draws the eye in and frames the photograph. Here is how I created my layout.

Creating the Twine Wreath

First I started by creating my layered background with cardstock and patterned paper. Then I traced a circle with pencil onto the white patterned paper. Sometimes a dinner plate works great for this.

Then I took Adhesive Lines and adhered them all around the circle. I cut 3 long pieces of cotton twine. These pieces have to be long enough to go all the way around the circle. Tie a knot on one end and adhere the knot in the bottom left-hand corner, where the layered flowers will be. Then in a random fashion, twist the 3 pieces of twine. As you twist, adhere the twine to the Adhesive Lines all the way around the circle. The twine wreath makes a unique texture and adds visual interest.

Twine Wreath Layout with Adhesive Lines by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then I added the layered flowers and leaves using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Adhesive Dots Mini. The perfect finishing touch to my matted photo was the Creative Photo Corners Ivory. Then I adhered the matted photo inside the twine wreath using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

To adhere the rest of the paper elements I used my E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refill.

Adhesive Masking Technique on a Background

Posted on September 9, 2018 by Christine Meyer

Once I get on a technique kick, I have a hard time not incorporating it into my projects or looking for other ways to use it (see my Snow page.) Today’s technique is one you’ve seen me do recently and as I did it, I knew it was gonna stick! This technique incorporates the E-Z Runner® Grand using the Repositionable Dots Refill to create a unique background. Here’s my layout using the Adhesive Masking Technique:

Adhesive Masking Background Technique by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

If you take a close look at my background you can see that it has dots on it as I tried to recreate a beach scene with the yellow and blue but put a twist on it with the dots.

Adhesive Masking Basics

To create this look, I use my E-Z Runner® Grand with Repositionable Dots Refill applied all over the background. Then I used Distress Oxides inks and sponged it over the top of the dots. When dry, I removed the adhesive by rubbing it gently with my finger. Essentially I used the Repositionable Dots as a mask or a resist.

This close-up shows you the design in more detail. Although I could have gone with a more simple mixed media background, this technique allowed me to add a little more abstract pattern.

Another couple of handy adhesives on this layout were the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares. I used the Micro to add adhesive to the back of my happy words. This is a narrower adhesive at only 1/8″ in width, making this adhesive perfect for little die cut pieces!

Decorative Gift Bag For National Date Nut Bread Day

Posted on September 8, 2018 by Terri Burson

Hello crafters! Terri here, and yes indeed, it’s National Date Nut Bread Day. Of course, I’ll use any excuse to dust off the old loaf pan and mix it up in the kitchen. With cooler temperatures just around the corner, this is the perfect time to get nutty and crafty. This festive, decorative gift bag is the perfect compliment for your baked goods and sharing handmade kindness. Let’s get started!

Decorative Gift Bag For National Date Nut Bread Day by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gather Your Decorative Supplies

For this project, you will need a few key ingredients to make this gift bag. I found a 12-pack set of kraft solid gift sacks for $2.99 in the party supply section of a craft store. With a coupon you can slash that price almost in half. These are fairly large and will perfectly accommodate a mini loaf. Or, two or three, when stacked! See the supply list below:

Kraft gift bag 3.5L x 5W x 10H inch
Wide ribbon and trim ribbon 26-inch each
E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser
E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill
3D Foam Circles Black Mix (or white)
Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in
Seasonal Sprigs
Gift Label (circle punch or die cuts)
scoring tool/board
twine or string *optional
scissors

Add Dimension With 3D Foam Circles

For my label, I chose to stack my die cut circles, adding the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix to the back of my top, stamped layer. This gives popped up dimension and adds that extra level of interest to your project. Set this aside and get ready for the next step.

Decorative Gift Bag For National Date Nut Bread Day by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create A Professional Fold-Over Closure

If you’re going to go the extra mile to create a special gift bag for your baked goods, you want to make sure and have a polished look. Attention to details can really make your gift giving shine! I love to use a scored fold-over technique; such a simple detail that looks so professional. Simply score the top of your gift bag at 1 inch from the top, then at the 1/2 inch mark. Fold over and use your scoring tool to smooth out the fold as much as possible. Do not seal yet. This will be done later.

Decorative Gift Bag For National Date Nut Bread Day by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tips For Adhering Ribbon

When working with ribbon or fabric, I prefer to use the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill in my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. This ensures that the ribbon will stay put! Run strips of the adhesive down one side of your gift bag. Apply your ribbon, placing the end at the base of your bag.

It will be easier if you go ahead and have your stacked ribbon already adhered together. For ease in adhering ribbon together, I prefer to use strips from my Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in.

Once you’ve lined up your ribbon on the front of the bag, go ahead and tuck your treats inside the bag and fold over the top of your bag and adhere. Now, finish running your ribbon down the other side of the bag and seal at the base of your bag.

Decorative Gift Bag For National Date Nut Bread Day by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To place those finishing touches, you can now add your label and your decorative elements. I’ve placed a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in to the back of my sprig and add to my gift bag.

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on September 7, 2018 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Do you love metallic and glitter accents on your cards? Well, then today’s technique is one you will love to try out…Wear your Adhesive on the Outside! Hi everyone, Yvonne here! Are you ready to die-cut from Adhesive sheets and use Foil Sheets and lots of matching glitter? Ready to sparkle? Let’s get started!

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Metallic Glitter Card Panel

First die-cut the leaves from Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. Carefully remove the die cut from the etched die.

Since the die cut is quite fragile, carefully and slowly remove the yellow release liner to adhere the die cut to the black cardstock panel. Make sure the white release liner facing up. To best secure the die cut to the card panel, I used a bone folder.

Repeat this step to adhere the other die-cut.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Now for the fun part! Adding foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit and glitter to the die cuts by Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside technique.

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Carefully cut through just the white liner of the Adhesive Sheet with a craft knife. Remove small areas of the white liner. I choose to work on just the stems of the die cut. Cut only the liner and leave the adhesive exposed.

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, cut a small piece of silver foil and gold foil from 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. Randomly tap both of the gold and silver foils onto the exposed adhesive for a nice mix of metallic colors.

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glittered Leaves

Let’s remove the rest of the white liner to add the glitter! Sprinkle a combination of copper, silver and gold glitter onto the exposed adhesive. Rub the glitter into the adhesive with your fingers to secure and tap off to remove the excess.

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

If you find that you have sticky parts on your die cuts, I suggest two options. One is to sprinkle more glitter to cover. Or two is to take pieces of gold and silver foils to tap over the exposed adhesive. A great way you get an even more nice melange of colors 🙂

Metallic Glitter Card with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Build the Card

Affix the black card panel to a kraft cardstock panel and then to a creme card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp a sentiment onto black cardstock using an embossing ink pad and gold glittered embossing powder. Heat the sentiment. Die-cut a banner over the embossed sentiment and adhere the banner onto a piece of kraft cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Scissor cut it slightly larger than the black banner.

Thread ribbon through the holes of the banner and adhere to the card front with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.

Finally, glue the ends of the ribbon to the card front using Adhesive Dots Mini because the dots are transparent, no adhesive will show!

And…voila…your card is ready! Wishing lots of crafty fun re-creating the card.
