Just for You Gift Box and Card Ensemble

Posted on June 27, 2018 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends, Judy here! Today, I’ve put together a Just for You Gift Box and Card with pretty flowers and leaves.  I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix, Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to assemble both.

Just for You Gift Box and Card Ensemble by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gift Box Assembly

Let’s start with the box. I stamped a white band with flowers and leaves. Next, I added dimensional dots of purple and pale yellow.  Once it was dry, I fastened it to a slightly wider pale yellow paper using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser was used to fasten the band to a plain white 4-inch box.

Next, I stamped flowers and leaves and die cut them.  So easy to do with coordinating stamp and die set from Hero Arts!

I added a pale yellow tag stamped with a verse in dark purple ink.  Leaves are fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

The flower is popped up with 3D Foam Squares.

Trim the tag to the desired length and punched a hole at the end. Thread the ribbon and attach to the box. Lastly, I added purple dots to the flower centers and yellow dots on the tag.

Coordinating Card Making

The card base is pale yellow with a band of white cardstock with seam binding fastened with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

The band is fastened to the card with Ultra Adhesive as well.

Some flowers are popped up with 3D Foam Squares and others are fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares.  Leaves are fastened with Ultra Adhesive at the stem end and Thin 3D Foam Squares at leaf end.

I added a bow of seam binding that’s held in place with Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin because it perfectly fits under my flowers. Verse piece is fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares.

The last step was to add dimensional purple dots to flower centers.  I also added pale yellow dots across the card front spraying out from flowers.

Just add to the box and done!

Thank you for visiting!

A Stamped Card with Foil Hearts and Dots

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Teri here with a stamped card that features some foil dots and hearts that were easy to make with adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Stamped Cat Card with Foiled Dots and Hearts by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Stamped Scene

This card would be easy to recreate with stamps of your own!

Pick a few images to make a scene. When I’m making a stamped scene, I try to pick images that look like they are doing something and would be interacting with each other but what you use is entirely up to you!

Stamp your images on cardstock. Color them in with markers and then fussy cut them out with scissors. Now set them aside.

Adhere a couple panels of patterned paper to a folded card. When I’m on a card making binge, like I was when I made this card, I like to use the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to put large panels of paper on my cards. This dispenser has a lot of adhesive in it (150 feet and is refillable) so you can put a lot of adhesive on your card and you can keep on making cards after you’ve made your first one.

Adhere your images to your card. Want to give them a subtle pop? Consider using the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix like I did to adhere to some of your images. These thin squares are perfect because they provide just enough pop to lift your images off your card and draw attention to them.

Now we’re going to have fun! You are going to add some foil accents to your card.

Take a couple 3D Foam Hearts and add them to your scene. Remove the liner paper from the top and slowly burnish foil onto them. You don’t need a special burnishing tool. Your finger will work just fine! I used the red foil from our 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit.

Creating Foil Dots

You can also create foil dots with the Adhesive Dots Micro.

Simply take an Adhesive Dot Micro. Place it on your card. (I’m showing it here on a piece of scratch paper.) Remove the plastic liner. Set a piece of foil (with the colorful side up) onto it and rub the foil on it. Remove the foil and you’ll have the perfect foil dot!

Add as many dots as you’d like to your card to complete the scene! For added variety, consider using multiple colors of foil rather than sticking with just one color.

Have you made any cards with foiled accents? I’d love to see them. Share a link in the comments section!

Sea You Soon Mermaid Card

Posted on June 25, 2018 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun Mermaid card. I hope your Summer vacation is off to a great start. I’m looking forward to spending time at the beach. The sound of the waves is what I enjoy the most.

Watercolor Stamped and Die-Cut Mermaid on Embossed Wave Card

The Waves Background Stamp from Hero Arts was a must-have for me. I don’t think that I will spot a mermaid at the beach, so I’ll have to settle for stamping and coloring them for my greeting cards.

How to Create a Dimensional Mermaid Card

Ink up the Waves Background Stamp with several colors of blue pigment ink and pressed the stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Next, I covered the wet ink with a layer of clear embossing powder and applied heat to set. I think the mixed blue palette and the shimmer of the embossing powder gives the waves a more realistic look.

I wanted to be sure that the mermaid would stand out against the wave background, so I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the Permanent Dots Refill to attach white cardstock rectangles to the top and bottom of the embossed cardstock. To add another layer of dimension to the card, I used a 3D Foam Frame to attach the embossed cardstock piece to the front of an A4 card base.

Watercolor Stamped and Die-Cut Mermaid with 3D Foam Circles on Embossed Wave Card

After stamping and die-cutting a mermaid for the front of the card, I used watercolor paint to fill in the image. Once the mermaid was dry I applied glitter glue for a touch of sparkle. Be sure to use a waterproof ink when working with liquid color mediums.

I stamped a simple sentiment onto the front of the card. Then, I used 3D Foam Circles to attach the mermaid die-cut to the front of the card. The White Mix of 3D Foam Circles includes both a sheet of small and a sheet of large 3D Foam Circles, which made applying all-over adhesive to my die-cut quick and easy. The strong permanent bond of the adhesive means that my die-cut will stay put, even on the slick embossed background of my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! What’s your favorite thing about the beach?

Kid-Friendly Summer Fruity Mason Jars

Posted on June 24, 2018 by Linsey Rickett

Summer has arrived and it’s time for some crafty fun in the sun! Hi friends, Linsey here sharing my Pinterest-inspired fruity mason jars that are sure to sweeten your day. The project is super simple so get the kids involved! Here are all the juicy details!

Kid-Friendly Summer Fruity Mason Jars by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Fruity Details

Start with clean, dry mason jars and choose paints/fruits accordingly. I chose to make pineapple, strawberry, and watermelon inspired jars.

For the pineapple, make a basic criss-cross pattern on the jar using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in.

For the strawberry, create a fruity stem pattern around the top portion of the jar using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. To minimize bleeding, do not remove the backing. No need to measure the lines, I eyeballed mine. Just like real fruit, every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind!

 

Paint each jar (use paints like acrylic, chalkboard, spray paint, etc. that are safe for glass). Let the paint dry completely between each coat. On average, a good wait time is approximately one hour. When the final coat of paint is totally dry, carefully and firmly pull the tape from jars.

The pineapple lines are clean, allowing the glass to show through. But another option is to paint in the lines or remove only the liner and add glitter (done on the watermelon jar), foils, or embossing powders and heat emboss. Yep, these tapes are heat resistant.

The Embellishing Details

Adhesive Dots Micro is one of my favorites and I found another use for them on this project–can you see where? If you said “strawberry seeds”, you’re right!

Place the dots randomly over the red jar. Afterward, I sprinkled onyx glitter, excess removed and voila! Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside to make strawberry seeds!

These could also simulate watermelon seeds, blackberry seeds, etc. Your imagination is the limit. 🙂

Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4 was used on the watermelon jar. Place two strips around the bottom half of the jar, paint and allow to dry. Remove the tape liners and sprinkle tape with iridescent ultra fine glitters. Sand the raised areas on the jars with a light sanding block.

To finish, I tied a piece of burlap into a bow on each top of the jars. You can fill them with pretty flowers, utensils, candy, etc. Add a little tag and give as a gift or keep for yourself. Any way you slice it, these sweet mason jars are sure to brighten someone’s day!

Thank you so much for visiting and allowing me to share this project with you today! I hope you’ve been inspired to make your own fruity mason jars using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. Until next time, happy crafting!

Patriotic Embellished Treat Boxes

Posted on June 23, 2018 by Terri Burson

It’s getting close to one of my favorite times of the year; the 4th of July!  I love to celebrate the birth of our great nation with fireworks, grilling out and sharing special treats.  Terri here, sharing this festive trio of patriotic treat boxes with creative embellishment tips!

Patriotic Embellished Treat Boxes by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Patriotic Embellishments Using Foam Shapes

I pulled out several foam shape kits to decorate my die cut treat boxes, including the 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Pennants.  I wanted to incorporate my decorative paper onto my foam shapes.  It’s quick and easy!  Simply trace the outline of the foam images onto decorative paper, then trim with scissors.  Apply the paper star (as pictured below) to the foam star and you have instant dimension!

Embellish With Glitter and Foil

Foiling is always fun, so I brought out the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit.  I chose the red foil from the kit to embellish one of the 3D Foam Stars.  It ties together so nicely with the plaid paper design, don’t you think?  I also added silver glitter to a few stars and scattered about.   The die cut circle sentiment is also popped up, courtesy of the large foam circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Creating The Magic Seal

There’s one thing that all three of my patriotic treat boxes have in common.  Any guesses?  The E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser!  I swapped my cartridge for the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill.  It truly is my favorite for having that added level of security to seal all those tabs inside.

The last elements that I’m using today are the Adhesive Dots Micro for my patriotic treat box above.  I used the silver foil sheet from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit to add a little sparkle and shine on my border sentiment.  It’s another great way that you can “Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside!”   I also really love the starry paper that tops my 3D Foam Pennants and adds that extra touch of Americana!

Elegant Thank You with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on June 22, 2018 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Do you love an elegant and detailed die cut on your card as much as I do? Are you reluctant to use one because adhering it always leaves glue stains? Worry no more! Adhesive Sheets to the rescue and you’ll never go back!

Elegant Thank You with Adhesive Sheets by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L

Hi crafty friends, Yvonne here showing you that Adhesive Sheets are the best, cleanest and quickest way to adhere detailed die cuts to a card and say good-bye to glue stains forever!

Elegant Detailed Background

We’re making the die cuts into stickers and it’s so easy! Simply lift the yellow release of a piece of Adhesive Sheet 6 x 12 inch and place a piece of silver cardstock on top. Trim the silver cardstock to the size of the die-template you are going to use. Then die-cut the etched die from the silver cardstock. Remove the liner and then place the silver die-cut onto patterned paper.

See a quick video on How to Use Adhesive Sheet for Die Cutting below.

Adhere the layered panel to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Finish the card

Secure the ribbon to the card using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the embellishments and bow to the card using Adhesive Dots Medium.

If you have non-adhesives pearls, Adhesive Dots Micro is a great way to make them stick. Did you know that tweezers are a great tool for precise placement of pearls?

And voila….your card is finished! Wishing you happy crafting!

Warm hugs from Holland,
Yvonne

Mixed Media Layout Featuring Adhesive Dots

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back scrappy friends. Tracy here, and today I am sharing some tips and tricks in creating simple mixed media layouts and my go-to adhesives.

I love to dabble in mixed media. Sometimes I add some simple splatters, ribbon and dimensional embellishments, like in this layout. But others, I like to play a little more and get messy. Either way, here are some adhesive tips.

Mixed Media Layout

First, I created a simple background for my layout. Then added the ribbon border using Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/2″, it will adhere ANY of your favourite ribbons or trims. I used again to attach the corrugated cardboard on top of the lace.

Then the next 2 patterned paper layers were added using Crafty Foam Tape, for just a little added dimension. I triple matted my photo, adhering the layers together using my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, and added Creative Photo Corners Ivory to the photo. I adhered the matted photo to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape again.

Just in case you didn’t know, I love to create handmade flowers. Once stamped, die cut and shaped I used Adhesive Dots Mini to assemble the flowers. One of my favourite things to use as flower middles is beads. To do this I use the Dual Tip Glue Pen and add a big gob of liquid adhesive in the middle of the flower, then add beads and let dry. Once dry, I then used Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere them to the layout. I used the Adhesive Dots Mini again for adding my buttons and pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you found a couple of simple tips and tricks for your next mixed media project.

Thrilling Birthday Card

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Valerie Ward

Hello crafters! Valerie here with a fun and thrilling birthday card for you today with a wonderful interactive feature – a sliding roller coaster! I’m excited to show you how to create one.

Thrilling Birthday Card by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Thrilling Top Panel

I die-cut and created the foreground of my card front by adhering the two pieces together with my E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Next, I die-cut a background panel (a solid piece that is the exact same size and shape as the foreground piece) that right behind the foreground panel.

Die-cut another slope that is taller and a different shape in another tone of green cardstock. With my E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser, adhere the two layers together on a white card base.

After stamping, coloring and die-cutting the cute roller coaster image, secure it with the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine right under slide opening…it should be a perfect fit.

Behind the foreground panel, place 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back. Once finished, take off the liners and attach to the card front. This gives the panel the perfect dimension for the interactive feature!

Creating the Sliding Roller Coaster Car

Grab a penny and dust it well with an embossing powder tool, or cornstarch (yes, cornstarch works!). By doing this step, it ensures the penny will easily slide on the slider track.

Carefully slip the penny into the track opening for the next step.

Scissor cut a narrow strip from 3D Foam Square – just enough that it will allow the penny to slide without interference. Remove the liner and attach to the penny.

Earlier I stamped, colored and die-cut a roller coaster car with an adorable passenger. Attach it to the penny. Slide it back and forth to ensure that it slides easily.

To finish off, I added other colored die-cut images on to the card front, Aren’t the little guys just too cute?! Then lastly I placed the sentiment at the bottom.

And here’s the final interactive birthday card…

Daisy Card with 3D Foam Circles

Posted on June 18, 2018 by Christine Emberson

Hello, it’s Christine here today with a simple daisy card.  Those flower centers are easily made with 3D Foam Circles White Mix and a little bit of heat embossing. Follow my easy tutorial to see how.

Daisy Card with 3D Foam Circles by Christine Emberson

 

Heat Embossing 3D Foam Circles for Daisy Centers

Select some of the 3D Foam Circles White, I opted to use the small ones for the flower centers.  There are two sizes in each pack. Trim a piece of the backing so you have them available to heat emboss and easily removable. Remove the top paper liner of each circle and sprinkle with embossing powder. I chose to use a bright glitter red. Tap off the excess and heat with a heat gun. Instant bright daisy flower centers!  You could use any color you wish. I affixed them to die cut white flowers.

Then I die cut a piece of black card with a scalloped edge and matted onto a white A2 card front using MyStik® Permanent Strips. Because this adhesive is dispensed in little strips, it is ideal for applying as little or as much as you need. You can make long lines, curves or tiny, individual pieces right where you need them.

I used multiple daisy flowers to decorate the card front including cutting some in half to affix to the card edges for a continued design. Next I stamped a sentiment to the bottom right-hand corner. This is the finished card.

Daisy Card with 3D Foam Circles by Christine Emberson

Daisies always look like a happy flower; so ideal for a thank you card, perhaps make a batch of these. Also, be sure to check out all the super handy adhesives on the website. Thanks for stopping by!
