DIY Personal Piñatas for Cinco de Mayo

Posted on April 25, 2018 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun money-saving craft project that is easy to make. I created this set of colorful piñatas for the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday. I only needed basic craft supplies; empty paper rolls, tissue paper, and some Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

I’m hoping to avoid the drama that usually surrounds a large piñata by handing out these cute personal piñatas that I filled with small candy and colorful paper shred.

How to Bring Some Fun to Your Fiesta

DIY Paper Roll Personal Pinatas Covered with Colorful Fringed Tissue Paper and Filled With Candy Held Together with Crafty Power Tape

I created some decorative pull tags for each piñata using chipboard circles and some free clipart. First, I printed the Cinco de Mayo images onto white cardstock. Then I secured them to each tag with a Large Adhesive Dot.

I sealed and decorated each piñata with tissue paper and Crafty Power Tape. This high-tack, permanent tape has a strong bond which is important for a project that needs to hold up to handling. The translucent quality of this tape means that it is not visible, even through the thin, delicate layers of tissue paper.

If you’d like to see the full tutorial and the complete supply list for this project, please stop by my blog. I also share the link to the free sheet of stickers I used.

This design is easy to personalize for any occasion by simply changing the color of tissue paper and the decorations on the pull tags. What type of party would you use these favors for? Let me know in the comments section.

Monochrome CAS Card Featuring Adhesive Sheets

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Terri Burson

I don’t know about you but sometimes I need a quick card at the last minute. This monochrome CAS card fits the bill. What is CAS? It means clean and simple with minimal layers and minimal embellishments. The best part? They’re usually quick to make. This card can be re-created in under 10 minutes! Hello, Terri here, with a short tutorial and creative ideas to pull this easy card together.

Monochrome CAS card by Terri Burson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making a Monochrome Card

Everything that I used on this card was already in my craft stash, which is an added plus when creating quick cards. My card dimensions are a top-fold, scored white card 5.50H” x 4.75W”, however, an A2 size card will work as well, if you have some on hand.

Also in my stash, is some pretty watercolor paper. I chose a yellow monochrome theme so my sentiment and doily die cuts will all be created using this paper with the Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch. Trim a 4 .50″ x 5.50″ piece of colorful paper along with a matching section from the adhesive sheets. Peel the backing from the Adhesive Sheet and apply to the back of your paper. Using a doily die or other similar decorative die, run your adhered paper through your die cut machine. As an added bonus, when peeling the backing off your doily, most of the the tiny cuts will come off as you peel.

Adhering Vellum is Easy!

Yes, I’m going to proclaim that loud and clear, for all to hear! I love the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser! Trim a piece of clear or white vellum measuring 4.75″W x 1.25″H. Run a bit of Permanent Fine on the back of your vellum and attach to the center of your decorative die cut (doily). The Permanent Fine adhesive disappears and is invisible in about 24 hours!

Next, peel the backing off your sentiment die cuts and adhere one on top of each other, adhering a bit offset from the center of your vellum. This gives some dimension and makes the sentiment pop a bit more.

Lastly, grab one of the small circles from the new 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Use it as the dot for the letter “I”, apply a small piece of gold foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, shiny side up. Peel and …. voila! A great way to Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside!

Monster of a Thank You Card

Posted on April 22, 2018 by Yvonne van de Grijp

An adorable monster makes a great thank you card, I think. LOL! Not only did I want to make it fun, but also unique. So I decided to “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and Metallic Transfer Foil.

Hello everyone, Yvonne here sharing a fun CAS (Clean and Simple) thank you card embellished with fun patterned stripes made with our E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser along with the use of some gold and silver foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. You can also find gold and silver foils in the Metallic Transfer Foil Holographic set.

Monster of a Thank You Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

Making a Monster of a Card

Trim a piece of white cardstock to a rectangle shape to create a card panel. Next, stamp a sentiment with black ink.

Now for the fun! Let’s make the background by first running a line across the card panel using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Take the silver foil sheets from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit or Metallic Transfer Foil and place over the adhesive line. Gently rub and peel away the foil to reveal a fun dotted line pattern. Repeat this step with gold foil. Make sure you do one line at a time. Apply as many times until you get your desired look. And check this out – no expensive machine needed!

I love the look of the dotted pattern and bonus: FOILED! Fun to do and so easy to create, and there’s no machine needed with the foil!

To finish off, adhere the card panel to a blue card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Stamp and color the monster images, then die cut. Adhere the monsters to the card front using 3D Foam Squares.

Note: I stacked two 3D Foam Squares on the back of the right and left monster to give them an extra boost of dimension!

For the Love of Sunsets Scrapbook Page

Posted on April 21, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back my crafty friends. Today I have a fun glittery layout tutorial to share. A little something about me is that I love taking photos. One of the things I enjoy most is taking photos of sunsets. The colours, the quiet moments, and the shimmering reflections on the water.

For the Love of Sunsets by Tracy McLennon

I wanted to create this layout to reflect that sparkle and love of the moment. What does that mean?? It means lots of Premium and Extreme Double-Sided Tape and GLITTER!

How I Recreate the Glimmer of Sunsets

I started this layout with a piece of kraft cardstock 6×12, and my Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4-inch.

Extreme and Double Sided Tapes

First create borders across the top and bottom of a strop of kraft cardstock. Create a design of sorts with different widths and lengths of the tapes.

Remove the liners from the 1/4-inch Extreme Double-Sided Tape, and add the light orange glitter.

Remove the liners from some of the 1/8-inch Premium Double-Sided Tape and add the dark red glitter. Then remove the liners and add the light gold glitter.

Create the layered background by adding a simple mat of cream cardstock, a double layer of torn kraft cardstock and adhere the whole thing to the dark brown cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Next, add letter stickers to create the title.

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, and Crafty Foam Tape, adhere the cardstock layers. I added Kraft Creative Photo Corners to the photo. Now adhere the whole photo thing to the layout using 3D Foam Squares.

As always, I added the ribbon and mesh using my E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This is clear, super strong adhesive that works great with textures like this.

The smaller letter stickers were matted in cream cardstock and adhered to the layout using Small 3D Foam Squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Making a Pair of Royalty Slider Cards

Posted on April 20, 2018 by Valerie Ward

Have you ever made a slider card? They are fun interactive cards that people love to receive! It’s Valerie here today with a few Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products that, let me show you how these were created.

Princess slider card by Valerie Ward

Knight Slider card by Valerie Ward

Royalty Slider Card Basics

The first card features a knight in shining armor. I loved how this turned out. Here is the card in action…

To create the sentiment’s slider, I used a slider die set. Die-cut the pieces from the die set. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I glued the 2 U-shaped pieces together. Then when dried, I glued it to the back of the piece that would house the sliding sentiment.

With a stamp positioning tool, stamp the sentiment that will be revealed when you pull the slider:

Use the stamp positioning tool again, for the sentiment that goes on the slider:

After all the stamped pieces were done, I used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser to adhere the top panel onto the card front:

3D Foam Squares White Mix were used to adhere the flying unicorn and the princess onto the princess & unicorn card.

All Things Silver Greeting Card

Posted on April 19, 2018 by Christine Emberson

Hello, it’s Christine here today with an All Things Silver greeting card. I’m going to show you that Creative Photo Corners are not just for photos! Please take a look to see how this card is easily made with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

All Things Silver Greeting Card by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Silver in our Greeting

First I stamped a script design in silver onto black cardstock. There’s something very classic about using metallic colors. Creative Photo Corners Silver enhance the stamped image perfectly. Creative Photo Corners also provide a nice frame for focal points on your projects.

I matted the stamped card onto silver foil card and a white card base 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.

To decorate my card, I die-cut butterflies from black cardstock and used silver gilding wax to highlight the edges. For more silver accents, flowers and tiny leaves were die-cut and secured with the new 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. The smaller circles in this pack fit the tiny embellishments perfectly.

Here is the finished project, two flying silver butterflies with a shot of color from the pretty red flowers.

Loaded Envelope Bag Tutorial

Posted on April 17, 2018 by Shellye McDaniel

Hello, everyone! It’s Shelly McDaniel here with my very first project to share, The Loaded Envelope Bag. I tend to be late to the party sometimes, but I stumbled upon this idea a couple of weeks ago and I just had to make one!

Loaded Envelope Bag by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create an Envelope Bag

To get started, I took a 12″ double-sided piece of scrapbook paper and with a score board, scored one side of the paper at 3.25″ and 9″. Next, I turned the paper 90 degrees and scored at 9″.

Fold the paper along the score lines. Fold the last scored line of the paper up to create a pocket.

Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill to adhere the bottom and back flap together to create a bag with pockets.

Make it Stand

Next, I cut a piece of heavyweight 6 x 8.5″ chipboard and applied Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch on one side. Trim the excess. Burnish the backing to transfer the adhesive onto the chipboard and peel off. With a sheet of 12 x 8.5″ patterned paper, wrap the chipboard (make sure the adhesive side is facing you). Once wrapped, secure with the exposed adhesive and this becomes easel piece of your envelope.

Now let’s connect the envelope and easel! Score the top (open end) of the envelope 0.50″ from the top. Cut away the front piece to leave a back flap. This becomes the hinge to attach the easel.

Apply the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill to the back of the flap. Attach it the top of the easel. Voila!

Let’s Embellish

In decorating the front of the envelope/bag, I used the 3D Foam Circles White Mix to give dimension to various embellishments such as stickers, chipboard pieces and die cuts.

For the resin star, I used the Adhesive Dots Large to attach it to the front of the chipboard boot.

Loaded Envelope Bag by Shellye McDaniel

Now the envelope/bag is ready to fill with tags, ephemera or other goodies to go along with the theme of your bag. These are super fun to make for swaps or to gift to your favorite paper crafter! Have fun!

Spring Bliss Cards with Vellum

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Linsey Rickett

Is Spring beginning to bloom in your neck of the woods? Hello friends, Linsey with you today. Here in the Pacific NW, we are at the height of our rainy season and hopeful still that all these April showers will indeed bring the beautiful May flowers yet to come. With that in mind, I created a pair of Spring-inspired cards that a sure to brighten your day.

Spring Bliss Cards with Vellum by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Specialty Adhesives on Spring Cards:

When crafting, one of my favorite types of paper to work with is vellum. However, I often opt out of using vellum due to the delicate nature of the paper and its semi-transparency, which makes it nearly impossible to adhere to anything without showing the adhesive and compromising the integrity of a project. ….until now! The E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser is a vellum lover’s dream come true! As a first time user of this product, I must say that I’m so impressed with the results and now I can hardly wait to play with all that precious vellum I’ve been so reluctant to use. If you’re looking for a vellum adhesive that you can trust, this is it.

Adding Accents to Cards:

To create a more prominent focal point of each card, I used Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack. I chose gold and black photo corners to enclose the 3×4 element on the card front. This gives my cards another layer of dimension and a nice finished look. Another fantastic feature of these photo corners is they are already sticky on the backside, so there’s no extra fuss. Simply place where desired and you’re all set.

For a final touch, I added a few sequins to each card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. One side has a fine tip and the other has a 1/2″ wide brush for wider application. It dries clear, bonds permanently in 3-5 minutes and works great for all your fine embellishment needs. From sequins to beads to glitter and back to paper, this glue pen does it all.

Thanks so much for visiting today. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing a couple of the unique products that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® has to offer for your specialty crafting needs.

Until next time, happy crafting!

DIY Planner Stickers with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on April 15, 2018 by Shannon Morgan

Are you a planner addict? If you are, I am going to share how I used Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch to create planner stickers. Yes, you read right! Planner stickers are amazing but the selection can be overwhelming! You can make your own…yes..you really can. Hi, Shannon here and it’s my first post today! I am excited to show you!

Planner Sticker Creation

What you’ll need for this project are: Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch, white cardstock, an electronic cutting machine and your computer. I found a free planner size template online so do a search. I made mine simple and added plain shapes, titles and fonts from my machine. Then filled with colors or patterns.

Here’s a sample of one of the sheets I created. Tip: add registration marks to your sheet or they won’t cut correctly.

Next, print out your “sticker sheet” onto cardstock. Afterward, adhere it to the Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch. It will look like the image below. Oops! Kinda big 🙂 Smooth it out, get rid of air bubbles and trim to size. For the next sheet, I trimmed the Adhesive Sheet to 8.5 x 11″ and applied to the back of the cardstock. HA! The adhesive sheets are so easy to use. They cover a large area for edge-to-edge adhesive. I wanted to show you that even us designers make mistakes!

Cut the designs from the sheet. Each machine is different but I set mine to cut thick, heavy cardstock. Pictured below are the two sheets ready to be used.

Now let’s plan! Use them all, some or hang onto them for future weeks! Here are close-up of my stickers.

Hope you enjoyed my project! Thanks for stopping by!

Pocket Inspiration Card with Self-Laminating Pouches

Posted on April 14, 2018 by Judy Hayes

I have an inspiration card with a small pocket inspiration card, made with Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Small, attached to the card base. Used a combination of Creative Photo Corners Gold and Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to assemble and Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for a little dimension.

Pocket Inspiration Card with Self-Laminating Pouches by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A quick design tip: when the pocket inspiration card is removed, the same verse is underneath so the greeting card still looks complete!

Pocket Inspiration Card Making

Cut paper to 2.25 x 3.5 inches to fit Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Small, round the corners and stamp the verse.

Place in Self-Laminating Pouch.

Note that I placed verse side against the hard side of Self-Laminating Pouch which doesn’t have adhesive as shown in the photo.

Burnish/press Self-Laminating Pouch firmly to seal it well.

The card panels were backed with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch. This makes assembly easy and all the edges sealed well so they won’t catch when removing or replacing pocket inspiration card. The verse piece is cut smaller (2 x 3.25 inches) to hide behind the laminated pocket inspiration card.

Assembling the Card

Peel adhesive backing from just the corners of dot card panel and place Creative Photo Corners Gold on each corner. The Adhesive Sheet will hold photo corners in place.

Next, fully peel backing and place dot card panel on the gold card panel. Peel backing from gold card panel and place on black mat. The black mat does not have Adhesive Sheets on its back. Peel backing from verse paper and center onto the dot card panel.

Add Thin 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix to back of the black mat.

Form 4 x 6.5 inch cream card base and cut patterned paper to fit it. Cut a band of stripe paper and fasten with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to patterned paper. Tie gold cord in a knot. Wrap ends around stripe paper to back and fasten with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. It’s really strong to hold the cord.

Fasten to card front with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and
E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. I use the Ultra adhesive at the corners and the Dots adhesive along edges.

Fasten the assembled inspiration card panel to card front by removing the backing from Thin 3D Foam Squares. Insert pocket inspiration card into photo corners and it’s ready to share with someone!

Thanks for visiting and Happy Creating!
