Merry Christmas Banner with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

I’m making a Merry Christmas Banner today! With December just TWO DAYS AWAY, many of you are decorating for Christmas. I try to make a few new things each year to add to my decorations.

It’s Judy here to show you this Merry Christmas Banner which I hope to hang it on a wreath or tree once I actually get those out of storage! HA! Using a combination of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser, it will make this really easy to put together.

Start with the Banner Basics

To make the banner, I cut 14 small pennants from patterned paper. The pennant top folds to the front to show the red pattern from the back side. I’ve added a strip of green patterned paper under the fold for a contrast border. Applied them with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to hold in place.

Adding the Letters

Next, I applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ to the back of red cardstock. Then I die cut the letters from the red cardstock and you end up with each letter having edge-to-edge adhesive on the back – so easy to fasten to the pennants.

After each letter is applied to a pennant, punch holes at the top and thread the twine through to connect my banner.

Happy decorating!
Judy

Die-Cutting with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

It’s almost time for all things Christmas! I spent time this past weekend in my craft room working on Christmas themed projects. I don’t like to rush past fall holidays when it comes to home decor, but as far as Christmas themed projects… bring ’em on! Let me show you what I’ve been die-cutting!

I love using Adhesive Sheets for die-cutting. They’re great for dies that have a lot of details. You don’t have to worry about getting your adhesive into small areas, because when you die cut with the Adhesive Sheet applied, all you have to do is peel away the top liner sheet and you have edge-to-edge adhesive coverage.

Die-cutting with Adhesive Sheets by Vicki Chrisman

Die-Cutting with Adhesive Sheets

I’m layering these two graduated sizes of scalloped circles, with the large one covered with glitter.

I added my Adhesive Sheet to the top a piece of white cardstock and then die cut it. Now simply peel away the Adhesive Sheet liner to expose the adhesive and sprinkle with glitter.

If you look back at the original base piece I choose to use, it had some foil stars printed on the paper. I love that detail and I realize I will cover it those up as I add the scalloped squares. No problem, I broke out my 3D Foam Stars and the red Foil sheets in the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit (the star shape and foils are in the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit which I didn’t have). Now I have dimensional stars to add to my card design.

Using the best adhesive for the job really makes the process even more enjoyable. I keep a basket of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives on my desk, to have them at my fingertips. It’s easy to grab just what I need for each specific job.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Mixed Media Journal Cover

Posted on November 25, 2017 by Dana Tatar

I’m working with leftovers today, both in the kitchen and in my studio! It’s Dana Tatar today sharing the mixed media journal cover I created.

Now I’m turning my focus to Christmas crafts and gifts. Instead of using the images and symbols normally associated with the season, I am working with a festive color palette. I am able to design with confidence knowing that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products give a strong and immediate bond on multiple surfaces.

This project starts with a store-bought journal.

Designer Tip: Select a journal made from a variety of textured paper, lace, canvas, and corrugated cardboard for added interest.

How to Construct a Mixed Media Journal Cover

First, gather patterned paper scraps, embellishments, and ephemera. Next, use Crafty Power Tape to secure the patterned paper to the journal cover. This super-high tack tape makes it easy to apply any paper crafting item to surfaces.

Then, use Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D to secure heavier items to the journal. Dodz are double-sided, clear adhesive dots of glue with dimension. The strong, flexible bond of this adhesive makes it perfect for sticking heavier embellishments to soft textiles.

Finally, attach heavier elements, such as envelopes, to the album cover with Extreme Double-Sided Tape. Then use the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser to attach photographs and ephemera to the envelope. You can further personalize the envelope with decorative washi tape, stamping, and charms.

I hope I have inspired you to use your adhesives on textiles and dimensional surfaces! Journals like this make a great stocking stuffer, or gift for any occasion year-round.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter Time Card with No Line Coloring Technique

Posted on November 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Sharing a Winter Time Card using the no line coloring technique today. Good morning friends! Michele here with a card that I like to refer to as “take two!” Not too long ago, I made a card using this same stamp set and no line coloring. You can see it by clicking: Birthday Girl with No Line Coloring.

I enjoyed that stamp set so much that I used it again for a winter themed card. The image was stamped in a very pale brown ink. I used Copics and a white gel pen for the buttons and color. I also stamped a few snowflakes to really amp up the winter feel!

Winter Time Card with No Line Coloring Technique by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With the Adhesive Dots Micro, I adhered the teeny posey embellishments to the card panel. These adhesive dots are clear dots of adhesive. Easy, touch-free application from our unique patented single dot dispenser box, which doubles as storage. They come in several different sizes.

Next, I layered coordinating card stock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips. Then I tied a vertical bow and jingle bells for a bit of fun. I didn’t want it jiggling around so I used the Adhesive Dots Medium underneath to keep it secure.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I am off to do some Black Friday shopping! 🙂

Christmas Reindeer Card with Easy Adhesive Layering

Posted on November 22, 2017 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Good morning! Yvonne here, to show you how to create this layered Christmas Reindeer card. Adhesive layering is so easy with my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares White Mix at hand.

Christmas Card using Adhesive Layering with Scrapbook Adhesives™ by 3L, byYvonne van de Grijp

Layered Card Making

Die cut the elements of the scene with a variety of papers. For the snow drifts use a combination of glittered, plain and textured white papers. Punch the snowflakes from glittered paper. Die cut and color the reindeer image.

Simply apply Permanent Strips from the the E-Z Runner® Grand over the back of the snow die cuts. Arrange them to create the scene and adhere the die cuts to the card base.

It’s so easy and quick to layer this way.

For the stamped and colored reindeer image and the sentiment, use 3D Foam Squares for an extra 3-Dimensional effect.

Affix the snowflakes using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, and lift the edges to make it look like they are falling.

Christmas Card Dimension with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on November 21, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey crafty friends! Tracy here, with a simple little project share today. ‘Tis the season to be crafting and card making for the holidays. So today, I thought I would share a quick and easy card with lots of impact and dimension using some of my favourite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Creating with Dimension

A simple but striking card can be the crafting superhero during a busy holiday season! With the right adhesives you can create high impact, dimensional cards quickly and easily.

So many scrapbook paper collections now come with lots of fantastic coordinating embellishments that are just PERFECT for card making. So today I am sharing this easy card using a paper collection and a few cute coordinating embellishments.

Christmas Card w/dimension by Tracy McLennon

By adding 3D Foam Squares to your embellishments, you add SO much extra dimension and interest to the eye. Thus, taking your card from ordinary to adorable in seconds. I added 3D Foam Squares between my larger layers of patterned paper as well as to my embellishments.

There is another adhesive that has been my GO TO lately for crafting, and that is my Adhesive Dots. Sequins are a hot embellishments these days, but can sometimes be tricky to get to stay put. But NOT when paired with Micro Adhesive Dots. These mini dots are perfect for crafting with ANY tiny embellishments.

The other perfect adhesive accessory that I added to my Christmas card, were my Gold Creative Photo Corners. They just add that perfect amount of shine to coordinate with the gold sequins and baker’s twine, and they create a frame for my focal point.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy holiday crafting!

Thankful Scrapbook Layout with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on November 20, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

It’s a season to be thankful! What am I thankful for? My hubby! He is my soulmate, my rock…my everything. Hello, everyone! Jana here with a new layout to share. I started this scrapbook layout with a bold brush lettering title. Isn’t this amazing? I love how the word ‘thankful’ turned out.

Thankful Scrapbook Layout with Keepsake Envelopes by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

I wanted to have something in pink, with a combination of black and white instead of the traditional fall color combination. With a touch of gold, foil was used from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, onto the 3D Foam Hearts as accents. These are a perfect embellishment for my Thankful layout. I really love how easy this works, but it is yet so stunning! Who doesn’t like easy?

Foiling 3D Foam Hearts for Thankful Layout

1. Peel off the top liner 3D Foam Hearts of your choice.
2. Press the foil (shiny side up) on the sticky part and gently rub with your finger.
3. Lift up the foil and Be Happy!

4. Gently peel off from the sheet and place on layout.

Additionally I used Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Squares on my title, matted photo. and other elements on the layout for more dimension and interest.

Because I wanted to add some journaling and there was no room, I placed one 2x2in Keepsake Envelope under the word “thankful.” Just open the flap and tuck in a little journaling card. The flap has repositionable adhesive (see white liner in image below – it removes to reveal the adhesive) so you can open and close without losing the stick!

Finally, I’ve added are some tiny sequins and I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini to attach them. Adhesive Dots are so easy to use and strong enough to hold the sequins, even on a mixed media surface; in this case, heavy acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by today! Who are you thankful for?

Festive Snow Scene Tags

Posted on November 18, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Sometimes it is the simplest designs that can have the most impact. Like discovering multiple uses for Creative Photo Corners is awesome! Christine here today with some festive monochromatic snow scene tags.

Festive Snow Scene Tags by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tags are an absolute necessity during the holiday season, not only attaching them to wrapped gifts, but I like to tie them to homemade gifts too. These tags with their neutral palette can go with any kind color combination of packaging!

How to make Festive Snow Scene Tags

Onto pre-cut white tags, stamp a sentiment in black ink and attach a shaped piece of cardstock to the base with Crafty Foam Tape. This will give it some dimension and interest to the design.

Behind the shaped piece of card, insert a tree die cut and a little house, but look …. that little house is actually a Creative Photo Corner in Black! With 108 corners in each pack that’s a lot of little houses!

I created some more tags with varying sentiments and slightly different designs, Little chimneys can be added by trimming black cardstock to the houses. Then to finish them off by tying a silver ribbon to each.

This would be a great addition to a bottle of wine for that last minute gift that you need for the holidays 🙂 So keep them handy!

Embellishing with 3D Foam Shapes

Posted on November 17, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Have you seen all the different 3D Foam Shapes that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® offers? They have so many choices that can be added for a little something extra to your cards, layouts, and crafts.

How to Use 3D Foam Shapes

Today I used the raindrop designs from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes to add interest, dimension and a little sparkle to my layout. It’s perfect for my scrapbook layout, don’t you think?

Embellishing with 3D Foam Shapes by Vicki Chrisman

To stand out against, my green background on the pictures, I picked a fine silver glitter to embellish these raindrops.

This package has a great variety of fun garden shapes in it from a watering can to butterflies to even a rainbow. I’ll be using some of those on a card I’m working on.

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside.

As you can see in the photo below, it’s easy to add glitter to these 3D Foam pieces. Since both sides are covered with adhesive, I removed the top liner and stuck it on my finger. Then take off the bottom liner and just tap it into the glitter. Knock off the excess and then adhere it to the scrapbook page.

Here’s a quick tutorial on another way to apply these 3D Foam Shapes, view How to Use 3D Foam Hearts and Other Shapes video below:

Don’t you love how these raindrops add interest and dimension to this layout? It goes well with the kids playing in the rain and I think they will think it’s really fun too! LOL!

Jingle All the Way with E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong

Posted on November 15, 2017 by AJ Otto

Jingle all the way to working on the upcoming holiday gifts and care packages for friends, teachers and neighbors! It’s officially that time of year and today, I am sharing my fave little pouch to fill with treats to hand out. 🙂

Jingle All The Way Gift Box by AJ Otto

Assemble the Jingle Treat Box

This is one of those die shapes that I keep right on my desk because I use it so often! It’s the perfect size to whip up a cute little project that covers any occasion.

Using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8 in, I start adhering a few strips of the glittered border across the front of the treat box.

To put the box together, I adhered with the NEW E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong. This is a must for paper construction projects such as boxes, bags, envelopes and more because it’s immediately tacky. No need to wait for adhesive to hold strong! It is ULTRA STRONG for a reason, plus it’s CLEAR!

Once all assembled, let the fun begin! Start with personalizing it. Use 3D Foam Squares first to put some dimension on the circle die cut. Then add stamped sentiment strips with 3D Foam Squares. Randomly add sparkly gold sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Add some cute little coordinating paper filler and it’s ready to go!

What treats would you put inside of it? Happy Holidays!!

enjoy!!
