Traveler’s Notebook Adhesives

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Christine Meyer

A Traveler’s Notebook is a great way to capture your memories on a smaller scale and keep them contained in one area. Adhesives don’t have to change dramatically for this scale but I do have some ideas for you on what to use and how to incorporate them! I started one specifically about our family’s bike riding adventures. We/I ride often enough that there were a lot of memories to document but I didn’t want to have to keep doing big layout after big layout. It’s perfect for capturing short but meaningful memories. Here’s my spread!

Traveler’s Notebook Pictures and Details

The main component for this was the necessity for all my crafting needs – the E-Z Runner Grand! That is my go-to for adhering patterned papers and pictures to things!

It was also an important part in creating this flap on the right side of my spread. There’s nothing better than a solid and quick way to adhere things in your crafting!

By using a punch and a Keepsake Envelope – I was able to create a shaker element within my picture. That added a unique touch to the whole notebook spread and was so easy to do!

I also used Adhesive Dots in multiple sizes to embellish my notebook spread by applying them and then adding gold foil. Embellishing with gold foil was an easy choice since I already had lots of gold foil throughout!

Now that I have thrown a lot of details at you – how about if we check out how I did them in a video?

Good Luck Tags with Creative Photo Corners

Posted on August 29, 2018 by Shannon Morgan

Shannon here, sharing some good luck tags with you today. In my little corner of the world, its back to school…aaandd FOoTBaLl season! In fact, I am sharing some “good luck” tags for your favorite player with you.

After you’ve chosen some great patterned papers, you’ll want to cut yourself tags or grab some pre-made tags. The patterned papers were 6 x 6″ and had perfect sayings and accents. Adding cardstock as an extra layer, together with paper, gives my tag a perfect pop created for each tag. (Use your EZ Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser for this step.)

Each tag is a little bit different in design, but I have designed them in the same fashion. Take a look at the photo below. I used 3D Foam Squares Black Mix in the regular size, to create dimension and interest to my tags.

Accenting with Creative Photo Corners!

Creative Photo Corners, being perfectly symmetrical, are surprisingly ideal for creating a star effect. As an illustration, look at this photo to see that the corners are “tucked in” to the tag. The corners are peeking out because of the shape that they are.

What’s Poppin’ Gifting Treats

Posted on August 28, 2018 by Shellye McDaniel

Hello, Shellye McDaniel with you today! I have a really fun way to decorate plain bags of popcorn to give as gifts or party treats!

What's Poppin' Gifting Treats by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Decorate These Treats!

First I measured the size of the unpopped popcorn bags. The folded bags that I used measured 3.5 x 5.5 inches. I cut two different patterned papers and layered them together with a strip of the Adhesive Sheet 12 x 12 inches:

Next, I picked a cute popcorn motif and stamped, colored and cut the image out. I used the 3D Foam Squares White Regular to layer the image onto a larger, round circle and then a scalloped circle. That’s three layers of 3D!

Secondly, three lines were scored on the paper: the 1″ flap (for adhering) and two panels of the same size for the front and back.

Next, I folded the paper along the score lines and then added a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in to the entire length of the 1 inch flap.

In finishing, the adhesive strip was attached to the opposite flap and the popcorn bag was inserted into the sleeve.

Interactive Peek-a-Boo Card Tutorial

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everybody! Teri here with a stamped card featuring a fun Peek-a-Boo element that’s easy to pull off with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

If you love making interactive cards, you are going to enjoy trying this interactive card making technique!

Interactive Peek-a-Boo Slider Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Peek-a-Boo Slider!

Start by stamping and die-cutting two large circles from cardstock. You’ll also want to die-cut a circle out of one of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and adhere it to one of the circles. I love using the E-Z Dots Permanent Dispenser for this. If you happen to get some stray adhesive on your work surface or on another piece of paper, it rubs off easily! I love that.

Interactive Peek-a-Boo Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mount the foam circle to the backside of what will be the top circle. Be sure to leave one side of the foam’s backing paper attached. You’ll see why in a second.

Interactive Peek-a-Boo Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set the circles on top of each other. Use a push pin or paper piercing tool to poke a hole through both circles.

Connect the circles together with a brad. Remember when I said to leave the backing paper on the foam circle? Here’s where the magic comes in! The backing paper helps make the circles easily slide!

Putting the Peek-a-Boo Slider on a Card!

Finish your card by adding your Peek-a-Boo Slider to it. Consider writing a sentiment inside it or adding a few more stamped images.

Repeat the circle theme of your card by adding a few small foam circles to it. Making an Autumn-themed card? Remove the backing paper and burnish some foil onto the small circles.

I hope you are inspired to make your own Peek-a-Boo Slider card! If you are, please share a link to your project in the comments! I’d love to see it and leave you some love!

Backpack Name Tag with Self-Laminating Cards

Posted on August 25, 2018 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here with you today sharing a quick craft idea for a child’s backpack during the back-to-school season. My family moved over the Summer, which was equal parts exciting and nerve-racking. My daughters started in a new school a couple weeks ago and I wanted to be sure to have their names somewhere on their belongings. I made way more trips to the lost-and-found last year than I liked and I’m hoping to avoid that this year.

DIY Self-Laminating Backpack Name Tag

I used Adhesive Sheets and Self-Laminating Cards to create personalized backpack name tags. My daughters selected patterned paper and cardstock in their favorite colors. The cards are clear, so I was able to add contact information to the back of each card.

How to Create Backpack Name Tags

Skill Level: Beginner Project Time: 30 Minutes

How to use Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Self-Laminating Cards to create a backpack name tag.

Step 1: Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit inside a Self-Laminating Card. Be sure to cut the patterned paper smaller than the card so that the edges seal. Add contact information to the back of the patterned paper.

Step 2: Remove the yellow backing paper from a 4×6 Adhesive Sheet. Align cardstock onto the adhesive. Use any die-cut machine, punches, or scissors to create letters. Remove the backing liner from each letter and adhere to the card.

Step 3: Place the completed name tag inside the Self-Laminating Card. Remove the liner and press the sides together to seal.

The laminated name tags fit inside the pockets on my daughter’s backpack. Try this project with the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops if a window pocket is not present on the bag.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your school-age family and friends have a great year!

Fall Leaf Card With Foil Flakes

Posted on August 23, 2018 by Terri Burson

Autumn is officially one month away and I am so ready for its arrival. Hello, my crafty friends, Terri here, with a Fall leaf CAS card with foil flakes. What are foil flakes? Scroll down to find out!

Fall Leaf Card With Foil Flakes by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamping and Coloring

First, I need to color and stamp my leaf. I mostly use mixed media paper for stamping and coloring, along with hybrid ink to stamp. It’s the perfect combination to color and not worry about my ink bleeding. I’ve used brush markers for coloring today.

Dual Tip Glue Pen for Foil Flakes

I wanted just a touch of foil on my leaf. To achieve this, I dropped a bit of glue from my Dual Tip Glue Pen onto my craft mat and dabbed the glue with a toothpick. Taking care not to be heavy handed with the glue, I just touched tiny drops to the leaf, waited just a minute, then applied the foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, shiny side up. I gently rubbed the foil and used my craft heat gun to zap a little heat.

Once I peeled the foil lining, there were scattered tiny flakes of foil. Now, you can “Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside!” You may wish to repeat this technique to get more flakes, as desired. Next, it’s time to fussy cut my leaf and apply it to my card. My E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill cartridge make this possible. I call it, the “Dynamic Duo!”

It is so hard to capture the flakes of foil in a straight shot but you can see the shimmery gold at this angle. Quick and easy detailing that adds that extra wow factor to your projects.

Cute Birthday Card with Adhesive Dots

Posted on August 22, 2018 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone! Do you like cute and funny cards? Yvonne here today sharing a birthday card featuring Crafty Foam Tape White and Adhesive Dots.

Cute Birthday Card with Adhesive Dots by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I love cute stamps and being a dog lover I chose a doggy stamp for today’s birthday card. And with happy and bright colors added…well…who would not get a big smile on their face receiving this card? Let me show you how to make the card. So….are you ready?

Making the Card Base

First, mount a piece of patterned cardstock onto yellow cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

To adhere the ribbon, run the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser onto its back.

After wrapping the ribbon around the layered panel, fold the ends to the back of the panel and then adhere the panel to a white card base.

Now stamp the cute dog image onto cardstock and color the image. (Because I chose watercolors for coloring I used watercolor cardstock).

After coloring, die-cut and emboss the image.

Cute Birthday Card with Adhesive Dots by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To create an extra dimensional layered panel on the card, adhere some Crafty Foam Tape White to the back of the die-cut. Then remove the line and adhere to the card base.

Embellishing the Card

First I printed a happy birthday banner and cut it to the right size using a paper trimmer and scissors so it will fit the card best.

Then to adhere the sentiment right under the stamped image. For this you best use some Crafty Foam Tape White (which you cut into small stripes so it will not be sticking out from under the birthday sentiment).

Cute Birthday Card with Adhesive Dots by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now adhere some Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Mini onto the card. (I put them around the head of the dog so they look like bubbles). Next, you remove the liner from some of the Adhesive Dots and then sprinkle some blue glitter upon and gently rub over the Adhesive Dots. As a result, the glitter will stick better to the Adhesive Dots.

Next, you remove the liner from the other Adhesive Dots and sprinkle some green glitter upon. Work color by color because this way your glitter colors will not get mixed up on your card and as a result, you will get clean (single color) glittered Dots.

Finally, finish the card by adding a satin bow which I adhered using Adhesive Dots.

And voila…. now your cute doggy birthday card is ready so you can give it to someone special!
