Mosaic Best Wishes Card Using 3D Foam Squares and Circles

Welcome back, crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun Best Wishes card to share. This card is a great way to Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil, by making a mosaic using 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles.

This card lets you play with texture, dimension and sparkly fun all in one project. Here are all the details:

Making the Mosaic Card

First I create my cardstock layers. The card base is 8.5 x 5.5-inch and folded in half. Then the next white cardstock layer is 4 x 5.25-inch. I use dies to cut the white cardstock circle and the black cardstock scalloped circle.

Mosaic Card Using 3D Foam Squares and Circles by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp the sentiment onto the white cardstock circle using black ink. Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser to adhere the cardstock circles together.

Then add Creative Photo Corners Black to the white cardstock layer and adhere that layer to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape.

Add the layered circle to the card using 3D Foam Squares Black Small Size.

Adding Metallic Transfer Foil

Next, start the card design with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black by placing them around the circle on the card panel. Add Silver Metallic Transfer Foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. Simply remove the top liner from the foam, place the foil with the colored side up, gently rub and remove the foil. No machine or heat needed!

Add large 3D Foam Circles Black to the design and add green foil in the same process as above.

When adding sequins to any project, my go-to adhesive is the Adhesive Dots Micro.

Then add the final elements, small size 3D Foam Circles, and apply the blue foil.

The final accents are enamel dots, placed in and around the foiled 3D Foam and sequins.

The different adhesive shapes and sizes along with the sparkle of foil create a stunning background pattern. This is an easy and fun way to Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside.

Getting Edge-to-Edge Coverage Using Adhesive Sheets

Which adhesive and how much should you use? When scrapbooking, we don’t always need to cover each element completely with adhesive, but there are times when getting thorough coverage is important! If you use small and detailed die cuts or create a background that needs to lay flat, you want complete coverage. Today I’m creating a paper pieced background and I’ll show you how I use Adhesive Sheets to attain that necessary edge-to-edge adhesive coverage.

Getting thorough coverage using adhesive sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, by Christine Meyer

As you can see I have a pretty complicated background with planks of patterned papers in all varieties!  To achieve this look and make sure all the corners stayed tucked in I used the 6 X 12 inch Adhesive Sheets.  The process is easier to show than explain with words so let’s take a look at my process video:

Coverage with Adhesive Sheets – Process Video

Autumn Layout Close-ups

Getting thorough coverage using adhesive sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, by Christine Meyer

This close-up picture showcases the coverage well – you can see i don’t have any corners peeling up or poking out – just a nice flat surface!  Now if I could just get perfectly straight cuts every time 😉

Getting thorough coverage using adhesive sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, by Christine Meyer

An additional product I used and that is the Ivory Creative Photo Corners.  I don’t always use Creative Photo Corners on my layouts but there are times when they really add something extra. This layout was definitely one of those times!  My background was very busy and the pictures are pretty busy too!  By adding the photo corners I was able to frame and direct the eyes in to the focal point of the layout – the picture!  We carry a variety of colors in Creative Photo Corners – be sure to check them all out!

Thanks for joining me today as we dove into getting thorough coverage using Adhesive Sheets – Happy Crafting!

Vintage Christmas Favor Boxes

The holiday season is here and I have a trio of Vintage Christmas Favor Boxes to share with you today. Hello crafters, Terri here. Grab a hot cup of cocoa and join me for a few minutes, as I share creative tips to make these adorable boxes! These are perfect for gift giving to co-workers, friends, or at holiday parties.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Choose Vintage Elements

When choosing a theme for your favor boxes, the paper collection is key! This is why I’m creating with the Authentique Nostalgia paper collection today. It’s filled with vintage and nostalgic images, as well as items to appease pet lovers.

Choosing your vintage style embellishments are important too. They complement and complete your theme. I suggest you select timeless elements such as lace,  ribbon, buttons, string and cheesecloth. Cheesecloth is used for more than just making cheese.  It’s a staple in many craft rooms and it’s origins can be traced to Bangladesh. History says Marco Polo found this in India and brought it back to European countries. Cheesecloth later made it’s way to the United States, courtesy of European immigrants. You didn’t know you were getting a history lesson today, did you?

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Choose The Right Adhesive

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® has many adhesives that get the job done. I rely on my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. It’s quick, dependable and ready to go with a quick swipe.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add Dimension To Your Favor Boxes

For my fussy cut images I use the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. They’re great for popping up your elements and because they’re dark in color, they’re not as noticeable from a side view. I love the versatility of these die cut boxes! You can find out more about the file that I used on my blog, the link is below.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the Merry Christmas box, I created a panel and applied Creative Photo Corners Kraft. The cheesecloth is adhered to the back with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser using the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. As you can see from this side angle below, I sealed this box closed with the same adhesive.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I love using the Crafty Foam Tape White to secure my panels. I can cut longer strips to fit the panel size. It brings dimension, balance and doubles as a strong base when adding more embellishments.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lastly, I used my Adhesive Dots Medium to secure my string and floral ribbon embellishment, and my Adhesive Dots Micro to adhere my tiny sequins and gems.

Vintage Favor Boxes Tutorial by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

There are so many creative ways to use your adhesives and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® offers so many choices. Trying new-to-you adhesives can open up a whole new world and really get your creative juices flowing!

Fall Inspired Thanksgiving Card

Hello everyone, Yvonne here sharing an elegant Thanksgiving card. The card is all about fall, using the typical seasonal colors of orange, yellow and brown. Perfect to send as an invite for Thanksgiving. Maybe for that special someone to let him or her know you’re thinking about them on this special day. Let me show you how to simply create the card.

Fall Inspired Thanksgiving Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Thanksgiving Card Base

Trim a piece of patterned paper to a rectangle shape and alter the edges of the paper using a paper distressing tool.

Adhere the panel to a kraft panel and then affix to a white card base, using the E-Z® Runner Refillable Dispenser.

The Inspiring Details

First, make the sticker die cut. Lift the yellow liner of a an Adhesive Sheet 4×6 inch and place a piece of dark brown cardstock on top of the adhesive surface.

Fall Inspired Thanksgiving Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Trim the brown cardstock to the size of the wreath craft die you want to use. Then die-cut  the brown cardstock, with the liner side down. Remove the liner to reveal the edge-to-edge adhesive and adhere the die cut onto the layered card panel.

Next, die cut several leaves from green, orange and yellow cardstock. Use a silver pen to draw the veins on the leaves. Then ink the edges of the leaves with brown ink and an ink blending tool. Bend the leaves to make them look more realistic.

Adhere the leaves and mulberry flowers to the card base using Adhesive Dots Large and Adhesive Dots Medium. Finish the flowers with stamens using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Finally, adhere a sentiment sticker to your card and…voila…your Thanksgiving card is ready to give!

Shiny Holiday Gift Tags

How about some shiny, sparkly holiday gift tags today that have some fun dimension?! I have a tutorial for you today featuring the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit on this project, along with other trusty Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products I used to create them!

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making 3D Foam Embellishments Shiny with Foil

First, die cut your base. On this tag, I used a simple rectangular shape die (for my other tag shape, I used a traditional-shaped-tag die).

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Choose the shape you want from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit and attach it to your base; then peel off the top liner to reveal the sticky adhesive.

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pick the color foil you’d like to use; on this tag, I’m using the green sheet.

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lay the sheet, shiny color side up, over the sticky shape, and gently press it onto the shape.

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

When you peel back the sheet, you’ll have your pretty and shiny 3D shape!

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Sentiments

Now you’ll work on the sentiments; I used a combination of dies and stamps. For this tag, I die cut the Merry sentiment using a die. With the die, I die cut the word shape from both patterned paper. I used my E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser to adhere the paper word shapes together. I also used the same adhesive to adhere the completed word shape to the tag base under the tree shape.

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the Tags Together

Now you have to stick the front and back pieces of the tag base together (if you have two separate pieces as I do on this one). For this step, I used my E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser.

Shiny Holiday Tags by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The front and back…

Your last steps are to punch the hole in the top of the tag with a hole punch tool and thread the ribbon through the hole. That is it!

Here are other tags I created with fun holiday embellishments from the same 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit.

DIY Thanksgiving Traveler’s Notebook

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how to create a DIY Thanksgiving Traveler’s Notebook from scratch. I usually create a December Daily album to document the excitement of the Christmas season. I have never created anything special to store my memories from the Thanksgiving holiday. This will be my first Thanksgiving in my new home and my brother and his family are coming to stay with us. I am grateful for so many things and can’t wait to fill this notebook with memories.

Thanksgiving Traveler's Notebook by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Assemble a Traveler’s Notebook Insert

How to Make a Thanksgiving Traveler's Notebook Insert with Keepsake Envelopes to Hold Photos and Ephemera

Cut several pieces of patterned paper to the desired size. (I cut the patterned paper shown above to measure 8.5 x 8.25 inches to fit inside my planner binder.) Fold each piece of patterned paper in half and crease down the center.

Next, add several different sizes of Keepsake Envelopes between the pages. Stick two of the same sized Keepsake Envelopes back to back to create pocket pages. Once the paper and envelope pages are assembled, use a long arm stapler to fasten the insert together.

How to Assemble a Traveler’s Notebook Cover

Thanksgiving Traveler's Notebook Cover in a Self-Laminating Pouch

Cut a piece of patterned paper to create a front cover for the notebook. The paper shown above measures 8 5/8 x 4 3/8 inches. Use an E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to attach a couple of thin paper die-cuts to the front cover.

Next, insert the patterned paper into a Large Self-Laminating Pouch. Use a paper trimmer to remove the excess pouch. Peel away the liner from the back of the pouch and press together to seal the patterned paper.

Designer’s Note: Whatever the size of your paper, be sure to leave about 1/4 inch of space between the edge of the paper and the edge of the pouch to ensure a proper seal. Repeat this process with a second piece of patterned paper and another Large Self-Laminating Pouch to create a back cover for the notebook.

How to Create a Traveler's Notebook Cover with Self-Laminating Pouches

Score the front and back covers along the clear left edge of the pouch. Fold the edge of the front cover down, then fold the edge of the back cover up. Apply a strip of 1/8 inch Extreme Double-Sided Tape along the folded edge of the front cover. Remove the red liner from the tape and press the folded edge of the back cover onto the tape.

Thanksgiving Traveler's Notebook created with the Authentique Pleasant Collection by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To finish, tie the insert to the notebook cover with a piece of decorative ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Happy crafting and Happy Thanksgiving!

Upcycle a Gift Box – It’s So Easy!

Hi everyone, it’s Christine here today with an upcycling project.  Throughout the year I collect gift boxes, small and large because I cannot bear to throw them away! When I need a box, I then pick one to decorate with pretty paper and die cuts.  The beauty is of this is  you can use up lots of your paper scraps and surplus die cuts too. It’s so easy with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives.

Upcycle a Gift Box Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Upcycle a Gift Box

This particular box originally had chocolates inside (empty now)! It’s a good sturdy box, and you know those are hard to find. I cut a strip of patterned paper to affix to the top and a length of ribbon to wrap around. Both are securely held in place with Crafty Power Tape . This is a super high-tack double-sided tape with a liner that is very easy to remove.

For affixing my decorative die cuts in place I use 3D Foam Circles White Mix , they fit neatly on the reverse and there are two sizes in each pack.

Fill the box with treasures or treats, it makes such a special and personalized gift for friends and family.

A Comparison of 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Squares

Do you ever wonder why you might possibly need both 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles? They both add dimension to your projects and made of the same awesome uncrushable, high density foam, with permanent adhesive on both sides. But they can serve two very different roles in your adhesive arsenal. Let’s do an Adhesive Showdown comparison between 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Squares.

This Birthday Boy layout is the perfect example of how you can use both to enhance your projects! Join me as I walk you thru how I used both of these adhesives on the same layout but for very different reasons!

A Comparison of 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Squares by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

3D Foam Circles are obviously great for circle and curve shapes. You can see that illustrated in my hearts above! As you can see I have both hearts with 3D Foam Squares and hearts with 3D Foam Circles. Take a look at how perfectly the combination is on the one with both shapes! There are some obvious fits for the 3D Foam Squares as well – such as straight edges, pictures, etc.  They can be really helpful when rotated to a diamond shape to fit some tighter spaces (as seen on the heart combo).

 

A Comparison of 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Squares by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

Lest we forget, there’s more adhesives out there than the 3D Foam Products! The Adhesive Dots attach my acrylic word to the scrapbook page in the strongest manner possible! Additionally the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Runner® Grand help secure most of the rest of the layout. Both of these are never far from my hands when I am working on a project.

The next time you are getting started on a project and consider whether you actually need both the 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles keep in mind, that they are both useful and serve different needs on your projects!

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch

Happy Halloween, friends! What a treat it is to be sharing my festive and fun 3D pumpkin patch with you! Linsey here today and I’m excited to show you how easy it was to create this cute home decor scene! All it takes is some fabulous Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, your favorite paper and we’re on our way to the happiest Halloween pumpkin patch in town!

 

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

How To Assemble  Your 3D Pumpkins

I enlisted my electric die cut machine with heavy cardstock. Die cut 10-12 scalloped circles for each pumpkin (less or more, depending on how full you want your pumpkins). Fold each circle in half and make sure that scallops line up with one another. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen on one side of each folded circle and hold together for approximately 1 minute or just until pumpkin stays together on its own. Repeat steps for each 3D pumpkin. Add stems with rolled up paper and glue to tops of pumpkins. I made a total of 8 for my patch.

 

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

Making a 3D Pumpkin Patch with Paper Die Cuts

For the ground layer of the Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch, cover a piece of cardboard with patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. I use Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to layer the die cuts such as the scarecrow. Add an Adhesive Sheet to the back of top layer of cardstock before cutting to make it easy to adhere to the base die cut. No mess, no excess, I love that!

 

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

Make the scenery sparkle with 3D Foam Leaves and gold and green foils to create a mixed, metallic effect! Simply dab the under-side of the foil to the adhesive, then dab a second or third color until the adhesive is covered. The 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit includes foil, and it works beautifully with our adhesives, no other equipment needed! Foils are so much fun to incorporate into projects. I find myself coming back to them time and again and using them in various creative ways.

 

Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

Adhesive Dots are the perfect way to adhere small embellishments to a project. Position them on the back of buttons, mini flowers and die cut leaves, they stick to wherever I place them  and make the scene come to life!
