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!

DIY Planner Stickers by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

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!

Stamped Popcorn Card Tutorial

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Teri Anderson

We’re going to be putting together a fun stamped popcorn card using products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. Featuring Adhesive Sheets to create a glittery circle and add some pop and dimension with 3D Foam Squares. To hold everything together, we’ll be using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser! Hi, everyone! Teri here today with a tutorial so let’s get started!

Stamped Popcorn Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamped Popcorn Card with an Adhesive Sheet Technique

Start by die-cutting two circle shapes. You’ll cut a large circle from cardstock and the smaller circle from a scrap piece of an Adhesive Sheet 12×12 inch.

Take the adhesive sheet circle and remove the liner. Dump glitter over the exposed adhesive. I prefer fine glitter when I craft, but you can use any type of glitter. If chunky glitter is your thing, go with chunky glitter. It’s all good!

Shake off the excess glitter. Use the liner paper to burnish the glitter into the circle shape. It helps to ensure a good even coating of glitter.

Use the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to layer the circles together.

Finishing Up

Add patterned paper to a card folded from cardstock and adhere the glittered circle.

Stamp and color with markers the adorable popcorn tubs. Fussy cut them out with your scissors.

Next cut a strip of white cardstock and stamp a sentiment onto it. Tie white twine around it.

Adhere the popcorn tubs and sentiment to your card with 3D Foam Squares. These 3D Foam Squares are awesome because they will give your card just a bit of pop to help make them really stand out.

Finish your card by adding a die-cut heart to it! Again, use the 3D Foam Squares to adhere it to your Stamped Popcorn Card!

Simple 3D Foam and Foil Card

Posted on April 11, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back crafty friends! Today I have a fun little card to share that I created using 3D Foam and Foil. Here are all of the details.

Crafty confession: I love simple, geometric and symmetrical design. So when I saw that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L had come out with 3D Foam Circles, I knew I wanted to create a card design using them as an embellishment rather than JUST as an adhesive.

Simple Foam and Foil Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using Foil with Adhesives

First I started by creating my cardstock card layers. The base of my card is 6×6. I used  circle dies for the smaller layers.

On the smallest black cardstock circle, I added the sticker sentiment in the middle and then started adding the 3D Foam Circles to create a decorative border.

Remove the top liner from only the large 3D Foam Circles and use green foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit add colour to the foam. Simply touch the foil to the adhesive – colored side up – and rub gently.

Next, remove the liner from all of the small 3D Foam Circles, and use the blue foil to add colour. (Again, apply with the colored side facing up!)

Next use the E-Z Runner Ultra and Silver Creative Photo Corners, and adhere the black cardstock (5.5 x 5.5 inches) to the 6 x 6 inches card base.

Once the silver sequined adhesive heart embellishments were added, I used 3D Foam Squares to adhere the layered circle to the card base.

I love the sparkle and dimension that the 3D Foam Circles with foil adds to the card. They’re no longer just for hiding between the layers!

Happy crafting and have a sparkly day.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Create a Textured Background Using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Christine Meyer

Are you looking for a fun and fresh way to create a background?  Or just a different approach to get those creative juices flowing? It’s Christine joining you today with a boy layout that showcases a background created with Adhesive Sheets and Embossing Powder!

How to Create a Textured Background using Adhesive Sheets from Scrapbook Adheisives by 3L and Embossing Powder

I love to play with mixed media BUT sometimes it’s fun to go a different route when you are making a background.  In this case I knew I wanted a lot of splotchy white in my background.  But I didn’t want anything wet.  This is where Adhesive Sheets came into play for my background.  I used them in combination with embossing powder to get the job done. I made a process video that will walk you thru exactly how I created the background.

Adhesive Sheet Background Video Tutorial:

As you can see the combination makes for a bold and textured look that is very different from a wet mixed media approach.

Using opaque embossing powder made it really stand out but there are so many options out there to experiment with.  If you want something more subtle you can definitely play around and find out what works for you!

I also incorporated the Adhesive Sheets as I used my metal die cut machine to cut out small stars for embellishments. I used the sheets in a very traditional manner in this case – using them to back my embellishments. Additionally I opted to pop some stars up and the 3D Foam Circles were the perfect candidate for that work!

Customized Travelers Notebook Cover

Posted on April 8, 2018 by Terri Burson

Travelers notebooks are a great way to document life moments in a convenient diary-style format.  Although this journal cover is designed to chronicle my teenager’s culinary adventures, the theme works perfectly for documenting your own food travels, weight loss journey or other diary usages.  Hello, Terri here, sharing ideas to help you create a fun, themed cover for your special journey!

Themed Elements for Your Travelers Notebook

No matter the topic of your journal, you’ll want to tie everything together.  Since I have a teenager involved in the culinary world, I’ve been slowly building a little nest egg of food themed craft supplies, many of which are featured in today’s project.    My “clock” represents setting the timer and also, the timed cooking competitions that he participates in.  I chose the words “Good Eats” to represent the various recipes and food adventures that will be chronicled here, as well.  Lastly, I’m using food themed designer papers and die cuts for added “spice”!

Die Cutting with Adhesive Sheets

Today’s project features the Adhesive Sheets 6×12 in for my paper clock background, the clock numbers and the sentiment.  Whether using a hand crank or electric die cut machine, you’ll love the versatility of the entire adhesive sheets product line.  Keeping in mind that my TN journal is 5″ x 8.25″, I’ve designed all my elements accordingly.

Here’s a quick run-down of my element dimensions:

  • 3.5″ Circle for clock
  • 1/2″ numbers for clock
  • 4″W x 3.5″H Sentiment

Place a 4″ section of the adhesive sheet to the back of your designer paper, then die cut your circle, peel backing and apply to upper half of journal.

Embellish Your Die Cuts

Next, use the black sheet from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to cut images from the Spellbinders What’s Cookin’ die cut set with your table top die cut machine.  For the bowl, peel the top lining off, then apply silver foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, shiny side up.  Gently rub and peel lining.  For the mixing blender die cut, I stabilized my die cut with one of the dots from the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable, placing it on the backing.  Next, peel the top lining, and sprinkle with black embossing powder.  Tap off excess and heat with a craft heat tool.  Peel the back lining on both die cuts and adhere to center of the circle.  A great way to Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside!

I used my electric die cut machine with the adhesive sheets for the numbers and sentiment.   For the die cut numbers, peel adhesive backing, then place your numbers at the 15 minute mark first, to better center the rest of your numbers.  Cut your sentiment in the same manner and adhere to the lower portion of your journal.  I actually, cut two sets of the adhesive sentiments and stacked them for more dimension.

I’m so happy with how my cover turned out.  Hopefully, I can show you some journal pages in the future, once we start documenting, which will be very soon; my teen is headed to the FCCLA National Competition in Atlanta this summer!

Be sure and visit my blog for the full product list.
See you next time!  Terri

Building Layers of Love

On the patterned kraft cardstock layer, alter, ink and tear for a distressed look first then mount on a piece of pink cardstock panel with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere both layers cardstock to a white card base.

Die-cut the hearts from pink and pink patterned cardstock. Sand the pink heart to highlight its embossed design. Adhere both hearts to the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.

Die-cut and ink a banner. To adhere the banner to the card base, use 3D Foam Squares White Small Size: one on both ends and stack two in the middle for an extra dimension.

Die-cut the sentiment and adhere to the banner using the smaller tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen for precision.

Adhere the flowers, leaves, buttons, and rhinestones to the card using Adhesive Dots: Adhesive Dots Large for the leaves, flowers and larger buttons and Adhesive Dots Micro for the small buttons, sequins, and rhinestones.

I Am Mini Album with E-Z Runner Grand

Posted on April 6, 2018 by Linsey Rickett

Hello friends! Linsey here today sharing my very first design team project with you! My chipboard mini album featuring the awesome E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser was so easy and fun to make. I hope you enjoy my easy tutorial!

 

 

Creating a Mini Album

I started with a naked 4×4 chipboard mini album. I cut my cover patterned paper to size. Then I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to permanently adhere the paper to the album base.

Next, I decorated the front of the album using chipboard pieces, adding White Mix 3D Foam Squares to some of the pre-made embellishments to create more dimension and interest. This product is great because it contains a mix of small and regular 3D Foam Squares, which is extra useful when working with different sized embellishments.

Complete the inside of the album and chipboard pages in the same manner as the front cover.

Tip: use a nail file to gently remove any excess paper from page edges and to make the corners smooth. 

Now, my project is complete and ready to be filled with beautiful memories! Simply add photos and ephemera to the pages using adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my chipboard mini album with you!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Heat Embossing with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Valerie Ward

Good Morning! My name is Valerie, and I’m very excited because today I have my first post for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team! When I found out a couple months ago that I had made it onto their team, I was absolutely thrilled! I have used their products since I began crafting years & years ago. Now I will get to share these great products with you! Today I have a birthday card featuring heat embossing with Adhesive Sheets.

Using Heat Embossing with Adhesive Sheets on a Birthday Card by Valerie Ward

For my first project, I decided to make a fun Birthday Card. I really wanted to have some fun with the alien beaming out of the space ship, and I used Adhesive Sheets to do that (they come in 3 different sizes: 4×6, 6×12, & 12×12).

Using the Adhesive Sheets for Embossing

The light beam is a semi-transparent shape using just adhesive and embossing powder. First, I die cut the light beam shape from an Adhesive Sheet.

Then I prepped the paper for heat embossing by using my powder tool. Adhere the shape by removing one liner, adhere it to the paper, then peel off the top layer.

The revealed sticky permanent adhesive layer was dipped into the embossing powder. Edge to edge coverage means the entire shape will be covered with adhesive.

Now tap off the excess powder and melt the embossing powder with the heat tool.

The next part of the project is the alien that will be in the beam coming from the spaceship! First, I stamped the image and colored it. Then cut a small piece of the Adhesive Sheet.

I peeled off the top layer and adhered it to the front of the image. Peel off the bottom layer to expose the adhesive and dip the sticky piece into the embossing powder.

After heat embossed the image, die-cut it.

Using the Adhesive Dots, 3D Foam Squares, & Dual Tip Glue Pen

Using Adhesive Dots (I used the Adhesive Dots Large this time; they come in so many great sizes!), I adhered the image onto the section I had worked on first; it stuck perfectly.

The next step on this card was to apply Thin 3D Foam Squares to the backs of the pieces I wanted slightly raised. I also put little dots of glue onto the bottoms of the aliens using the Dual Tip Glue Pen so that the bottoms wouldn’t pull up off of the hill.

Using Permanent E-Z Dots® Permanent

To adhere the larger panels, I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent runner. Here is the final card and most of the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products used (oops, I forgot to add the Adhesive Sheets!).

I just love how this scene turned out, especially the light beam coming from the space ship!


Hope you enjoyed this project; thank you for stopping by, and Happy Crafting!
