DIY Gold Background Tutorial

Posted on January 2, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. With it being the start of a brand new year, this card is a reminder to ENJOY life and have fun. This golden card is so simple to make with an effective background created with Crafty Power Tape (yes it’s tape) and embossing powder! Let me show you how to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside!

DIY Gold Background Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a DIY Gold Background

With a piece of colored card panel, apply Crafty Power Tape in a diagonal stripe design. If you wish, use a ruler as a guide or estimate by sight.

Smooth down to make sure that each strip is affixed. Trim around the edge of your card to remove the excess pieces. Then remove the white liners, you’ll notice that Crafty Power Tape liners remove easily and quickly!

Next sprinkle over embossing powder, your choice of color, I’ve gone with gold for my golden New Year’s theme.

Tap away the excess and then heat set with a heat gun for glorious golden stripes!

Using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, I placed the panel onto a gold foil card mat.

For some interest, I looped burgundy twine around the layer twice vertically and affixed on the reverse with Crafty Foam Tape.

To balance out the back and add height, add strips of Crafty Foam Tape before matting onto the card base. The Enjoy sentiment was die-cut and affixed with 3D Foam Squares Regular.

The finishing touches like flowers with little pearl centers and leaves die cuts were placed around the sentiment. This card was fun to do 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a fantastic 2019!

My Favorite Adhesives on a Christmas Page

Posted on December 30, 2018 by Christine Meyer

As we are wrapping up the season, I always enjoy putting together a few more Christmas scrapbook pages to capture the year’s memories. This layout showcases both the E-Z Runner® Grand dispenser and 3D Foam adhesives at their finest. I’ll show you why these are my favorites and why you need them for a perfect layout! It’s Christine joining you today with one last Christmas scrapbook page for the 2018 holiday season.

My Favorite Adhesives on a Christmas Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I’m not doing any special techniques with the adhesives today, but instead showing you my favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and how I use them to put together a layout effectively!

My Favorite Dimensional Product: 3D Foam

First up let’s talk about how useful the 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles are! I use them in several locations on this layout. First up, I put the 3D Foam Squares underneath my paper layers. I don’t use them throughout, just along the top border to pop up each layer a little and make the torn paper stand out even more. I use the 3D Foam Circles underneath the holly embellishment to lift it up above my stitching.

They’re made with high-density foam, which means they won’t crush in a scrapbook. 3D Foam is acid-free and lignin-free, making it safe to use with photos and paper.

Additionally, I use them underneath the “this is joy” ticket. When you are working with chipboard embellishments like the frame, you can add 3D Foam Squares to really elevate embellishments and keep nice even layers.

My Favorite Dispenser: E-Z Runner® Grand

The E-Z Runner® Grand is simply the best XL tape runner out there! First, it comes with the White Permanent Strips; a permanent double-sided adhesive that applies in curves, short or long runs. The dispenser is lightweight and easy to use in either hand. Even better than all is the fact that it is easy to refill. Just pop the cartridge out and put it back in again! There are four different adhesive types you can switch between, even mid-use!

Check out this quick video showing how to use and refill the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser.

Today’s layout primarily features the E-Z Runner Grand Dots Permanent Refill. I opt for that because my chipboard frame had a lot of curves and details on the edges (as shown in the picture). With the Dots Permanent Refill I can cover all of it without having to tuck or trim away extra adhesive.

Morgan Family: Holiday 2018 Documented

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Shannon Morgan

The holidays are flying by, it’s almost New Year’s Eve! Meanwhile, I am still trying to record 2018 in the books before it ends. At least, I documented one event of family time in a scrapbook layout – catching family time was a priority especially in December. Everyone had a great night!

Morgan Family: Holiday 2018 Documented by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Starting the Documented Layout

Look for colors that compliment your picture, I chose a mix of non-traditional Christmas colors with the standard of red, green, and white in my patterned papers and embellishments.

Morgan Family: Holiday 2018 Documented by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Focusing around that perfectly imperfect photo, I created layers for dimension and interest. Of course, my go-to adhesive to assemble for all this is the E-Z R unner® Grand Dispenser. It’s the tool I reach for on every single project.

I love Creative Photo Corners! You just need two corners for this layout. The Creative Photo Corners White are perfect accents for the look I was going for.

Did you know there are many different sizes of Adhesive Dots available from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®? One of the best sizes in my honest opening is the Adhesive Dots Micro. It is so versatile! For this project, I used them for placing my twine and sequins.

If you are looking for an easy way to create dimension, you need to look at 3D Foam Squares! There are many 3D Foam products to choose from Thin 3D Foam Squares to 3D Foam Circles to 3D Foam Shapes. There’s bound to be one that fits your project needs.

Create a Winter Window Layout Tutorial

Posted on December 28, 2018 by Shellye McDaniel

Hello, all! Shellye McDaniel here with a sweet dimensional scrapbook layout with a window feature. It’s a simple way to draw focus to a single photo, so let’s get started!

Create a Winter Window Layout by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Window Feature

To begin take a 12×12-inch sheet of double-sided scrapbook paper and place a 6×6-inch square in the center for tracing.

Create a Winter Window Layout by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next cut from point-to-point of the traced square, from the center, as shown below.

Create a Winter Window Layout by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fold the edges back gently by bringing the flaps over the front of the patterned paper.

Now use small pieces of Crafty Foam Tape and attach it to the backside of each corner of the flaps.

Attach the flaps to the front of the scrapbook paper. Make sure that each of the flaps is evenly spaced and forms a neat square.

Making the Second Layer

For the second layer attach a wood-grain patterned paper to the back of the page using strips of the Crafty Foam Tape as shown below.

I now have the perfect background slate for photos and embellishments!

The Embellishing Details

Add pom trim to the inside of the window with strips of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in to hold it in place.

After threading with twine, attach two wooden buttons to the sides of the window with Adhesive Dots 3D.

Of course, the snowflakes need some bling, use pink rhinestones with the smallest of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. By using 3D Foam I can continue the dimensional effect!

Add the cardstock tags and then with the Dual Tip Glue Pen attach pieces of the die-cut snowflakes. I like using just a small dollop of the glue so that the die-cuts aren’t completely flat.

Finally, my Winter Window Layout is complete! It’s like peering outside and seeing my little one enjoying a snowy day 🙂

Glitter Snowflakes Jar

Posted on December 27, 2018 by Judy Hayes

Christmas has past and I wanted something to replace my holiday decorations and brighten my décor through the winter months. For me, winter means snow, so I made this Glitter Snowflakes Jar in my favorite color with 3D Foam Snowflakes and Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch. It can be used as a home décor piece as it is or with little battery LED lights or a candle. Even empty it sparkles! It would be pretty filled with cotton balls!

Glitter Snowflake Steps

I chose to use a recycled clear jar for my Glitter Snowflakes Jar. Color was added to the inside with alcohol inks. That step can be skipped by using a colored jar.

I used 3D Foam Snowflakes along with 6 different small die cut paper snowflakes. I chose snowflake dies that fit the 3D Foam Snowflakes.

For the die cut snowflakes, apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to white cardstock on one side.

Cut several snowflakes of each design with dies placed on side of paper with Adhesive Sheet. That will be front side on the jar. Tape may be needed to hold dies in place as the Adhesive Sheets liner is slippery.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

The next step is to place 3D Foam Snowflakes on the jar. To remove snowflakes from sheet, gently lift each point and then remove the whole snowflake. That method keeps the snowflake from getting too distorted. Place 3-4 snowflakes at a time on the jar.

Remove the liner from each 3D Foam Snowflake and place a paper snowflake on each one. I varied the styles to add variety. Do not remove liner on paper snowflakes yet! Cover each with embossing powder and press it into the foam snowflake and shake off the excess. Use a dry paint brush to remove excess around snowflake points as it tends to cling to the glass.

Glitter Snowflakes Jar by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This photo shows closest snowflake with embossing powder applied to it. The liner is still in place on paper snowflake. The next step is to remove the liners on paper snowflake and sprinkle with glitter, then heat emboss. Repeat to cover jar with snowflakes. Add circles (from 3D Foam Snowflakes sheet) between snowflakes and heat emboss. (The snowflake steps are same as shown below with jar lid.)

Jar Lid Detailing

Paint jar lid white and wrap Crafty Foam Tape White around lid edge. Remove the liner and cover with embossing powder. Heat to emboss.

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to both sides of piece of white cardstock. Die cut circle to fit jar lid. Peel liner from back side and fasten to jar lid.

Remove liner from top side. Place large 3D Foam Snowflake on circle. Do not remove liner from snowflake.

Sprinkle glitter over circle and press in place. Shake off excess and use soft dry paint brush to remove loose glitter. (My paint was not fully dry so glitter clung to it.)

Remove liner from 3D Foam Snowflake and place die cut paper snowflake on it with adhesive liner side up. Do not remove liner from paper snowflake yet. Sprinkle with embossing powder. Remove liner from small paper snowflake and sprinkle with glitter, then heat emboss.

These are same steps I used for snowflakes on jar. It has 19 snowflakes on it.

That completes Glitter Snowflakes Jar! I hope you enjoyed this project!

Thanks for visiting!

DIY Foiled Planner Clips Tutorial

Posted on December 26, 2018 by Teri Anderson

Can you believe it’s almost 2019? The New Year means it is time to set up your next planner! Teri here today, and I’m going to show you a fun way to add a touch of creativity and organization to your planner by making some simple DIY Foiled Planner Clips to use in it!

These sweet paperclips are easy to make with 3D Foam Products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Making the Planner Clips

Start by cutting down one 3D Foam Creative Sheet with your paper trimmer to 4 inches by 4 inches. The 3D Foam Sheets are from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. If you don’t have a paper trimmer you can use scissors. Simply mark a line with a pencil and cut. It’s that easy.

Cut four squares of patterned paper. Remove the backing paper on one side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet. Place the paper pieces on it. Set a circle die over the sheet and run it through your die-cutting machine. You’ll repeat this process until you end up with four patterned paper circles. Alternatively, you could use a circle punch.

You’ll also want to use your circle die to cut four circles from white cardstock.

Flip your patterned paper circles over. Remove the other piece of backing paper from each one. Set a paperclip on each circle. Be sure to put the single loop side onto the adhesive.

Place one of the cardstock circles over the clip and onto each circle. Repeat this process until you have four circle-topped paperclips.

Decorating the Planner Clips

Now, it’s the time for the fun part: decorating the planner clips.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L has a number of awesome fun 3D Foam Shapes that work for this project! We’re going to use the 3D Foam Stars, 3D Foam Hearts and 3D Foam Butterflies today. but you may want to use a different shape on future clips.

Take some of the 3D Foam embellishments and mount them to each clip. Be creative! Look for ways to use different shapes together to make an interesting design.

Remove the paper liner on top of each 3D Foam Shape. Use your fingers to burnish foil onto each shape. There are five different colors of foil that are included in each of the foil kits: 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, Metallic Transfer Foil Variety and Metallic Transfer Foil Holographic kit.

You could call things good, but we are going for a two-toned foiled look with these clips! Take some 3D Foam Circles and adhere them onto each clip. You can place them on or next to the shapes you’ve already added foil to.

Select a second color of foil and then burnish it to each of the 3D Foam Circles.

If you are worried about there being any sticky residue from the foam on your clips, rub each clip on a non-static embossing bag. Don’t have one of those? Use a sheet of fabric softener instead!

Complete your clips by adding a bow to each one with twine or ribbon.

Using the Clips

These clips look amazing when used in a planner!

They also make great bookmarks! You may want to make a few to use as you tackle your reading list for the new year.

Faux Wax Seals with Adhesives Dots 3D

Posted on December 24, 2018 by Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun way to dress up a simple Thank You card. I like to have extra cards on hand this time of year. I elevated a store-bought box of cards with foil lettering and used Adhesive Dots 3D to create faux wax seals. These simple techniques help add that special touch without taking too much time.
Faux Wax Seals with Adhesives Dots 3D by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Apply Foil Lettering to a Card

Faux Wax Seals with Adhesives Dots 3D by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

1. Use a stamp to apply a sentiment onto the colored side of a transfer foil sheet. Transfer Foil Sheets are included in both the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit and the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit.

2. Place the foil transfer sheet over the front of a card. Use a heat tool to trace the stamped sentiment, sealing the foil onto the front of the card. Another option for this step would be to die-cut a sentiment from an Adhesive Sheet or piece of 3D Foam and apply foil to that adhesive.

3. Lift off the foil transfer sheet.

How to Create a Faux Wax Seal with Adhesive Dots 3D

Faux Wax Seals with Adhesives Dots 3D by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 1. Heat an Adhesive Dot 3D for 15 seconds.

2. Apply watermark ink onto a small stamp and press and hold onto the hot dot for 15 seconds. The watermark ink is necessary for this step. It allows the stamp to lift cleanly from the adhesive dot.

3. Rub the stamped dot with one or more colors of metallic wax and buff to a shine.

4. Carefully remove the dot from the liner and apply over the flap of an envelope.

Decorative Stamped Christmas Card

Posted on December 23, 2018 by Terri Burson

Hello friends, Terri here, and today I’m showing you some of my favorite embellishment tips for decorative stamped Christmas cards. Get ready to foil, glitter and color!

Decorative Stamped Christmas Card by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finding Your Decorative Focal Points

This Avery Elle mistletoe stamp has lots of berries which is perfect for this project. This will be the focus for embellishing with the wonderful products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. To begin, add lots of Adhesive Dots Micro to the smallest berries.

Add Glitter For Decorative Sparkle

You can top your adhesives dots in so many ways; embossing powder, glitter and foil to name a few. Today, we’ll be adding red glitter. Sprinkle liberally, then press the glitter into the Adhesive Dots Micro to better fuse the glitter to the dots. Tap off the excess and replace into your glitter jar.

Add Dimension For That Wow Factor

Dimension is always a plus and using the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix is the perfect choice for the larger berries. Instead of glitter, I’m using the red foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. Also, I’m only using the small black foam circles, as opposed to white. It offers a shadow effect that I love.

Simply lay your red foil, shiny side up, on the foam dots, gently rub, then peel off the lining. Grab your camera and show your friends how amazing you are! It’s a great way to Wear Your Adhesives On The Outside!

To finish off my card, I used a white gel pen and dotted my berries, my leaves and added stripes to my colored ribbon. Use whatever coloring tools that suit your needs for the leaves and ribbon.

Additionally, my mixed media paper panel was popped up with Crafty Foam Tape White and applied to a 5.5 x 4.5 inch top fold white card. I also added watercolor splatters and drew a faux frame along the edges with a black glitter pen.

Thanks so much for following along today. If you’d like more information on the products used, please visit my blog at Waving My Wand. See you next time, Terri
