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!!

Snapshots Scrapbook Layout

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Hey there adhesive lovers! Today I grabbed a couple of older snapshots from when my kids were tiny. I love these photos so much! They are real life – smiling one second and a smack in the face the next second!

Snapshots Scrapbook Layout by Latrice Murphy

Creating with Snapshots

I kept the layout simple with (2) 4×6 inch landscape photos and strips of patterned paper. I used my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® tape runner, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Check out the YouTube video on refilling this dispenser below.

To create this layout I truly kept it simple by adding the photos first, then the patterned paper strips and finishing with a few embellishments.

My “Snapshots” title was cut using my Silhouette and journaling was done by hand on kraft paper strips. I can never finish a layout without some machine sewing so that was the last thing I did.

Here are some details of the layout:

I hope you pull out some old photos and get scrapbooking today! It’s getting super cold here so I’ll be staying toasty in my craft room even more. Can’t wait to share more.

Watercolor Season’s Greetings Card

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

Hello! I am sharing a Season’s Greetings card that I created as we start heading into the winter holidays with Hanukkah, Christmas and beyond.

Before the holidays consume your schedule, now might be the perfect time to start on those holiday cards. Are you ready? Today, I am making a simple card design showcasing a watercolored die cut in the center of the card.

Season's Greetings Card by Latisha Yoast

Season’s Greetings Card Instructions:

Cut/score white cardstock to create a 4.25 x 4.25 inches card base.
Stamp image onto watercolor paper.
Color stamped image with watercolors.
Die cut the watercolor image with die shape of choice. I used a scalloped square shape.
Adhere a strip of patterned paper to the card using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser towards the bottom of the card base.
Stamp sentiment in black ink above the patterned paper strip.
Adhere the die cut above the sentiment using Crafty Foam Tape White.
Tie a bow from twine, adhere to the card using Adhesive Dots Small.

This is a perfect way to frame and make your watercolor stamped image stand out against a white background. Also, by adding dimension with Crafty Foam Tape White, it gives it extra interest to the card.

I hope you enjoyed this sweet Season’s Greetings card and it helps you to get started on those holiday cards!

Holiday Card Created with 3D Foam and Foil

Posted on November 11, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey paper crafting friends! It’s Tracy here, and today I have a fun little card tutorial to share using 3D Foam Squares and foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. I love to use products that you probably craft each and every day with, but in a slightly different way. Here are all of the details.

Holiday Card with Foil by Tracy McLennon

How to use Foil as an Embellishment

First I cut my cardstock and patterned paper layers. The red patterned paper is 4 x 5.25in, and the blue polka dot patterned paper is 3 x 4.25in, and matted in white cardstock.

Using the 3D Foam Squares- Mix Pack, I created a pattern around the edge of the red patterned paper.

First I removed the liners from the large 3D Foam Squares. I took a piece of the blue foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit and crumpled it slightly. Then I dabbed it onto the large 3D Foam Squares, leaving little bits of blue foil, which look like marbling.

Using a piece of the silver foil from the 3D Creative Embellishment Kit, I covered the remaining adhesive on the large 3D Foam Squares, completing the 2-toned marbling effect.

Then I removed the liners from the small 3D Foam Squares and covered those in silver foil.

Next I adhered the red patterned paper to the white cardstock card base using my E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine adhesive. Using a double layer of 3D Foam Squares, I adhered the white cardstock layer to the middle of the card.

I adhered the next patterned layers again using my E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine adhesive and popped up the sentiment tag using 3D Foam Squares.

Lastly, I added a burlap string bow to the tag and a few gems to the snowflake patterned paper.

Christmas Poinsettia Shaker with Crafty Foam Tape!

Posted on November 10, 2017 by Michele Kovack

I have a Christmas Poinsettia Shaker card to start off the morning! It’s Michele here to show how easy it is to sandwich all the layers using Crafty Foam Tape!

Poinsettia Shaker Card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Front Card Panel for Christmas Poinsettia Card

For the front card panel, I die cut the leaves out of water color paper and blended the edges with ink a bit because I wanted a soft accent color. Then I added a piece of clear acetate behind it with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Once that was dry, I placed Crafty Foam Tape around the leave design and filled it with my shaker elements.

Creating the Layers

For the other layers of the card front, I continued to alternate the sparkly silver paper and water color paper using Crafty Foam Tape for added dimension and interest. When it was all layered, the card panel was adhered to the pink card base with E-Z Squares®.

Poinsettia Shaker Card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Poinsettia Flower

Die cut the poinsettia pieces out of water color paper and color in pink. Next, layer each piece with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. For the final touches, I adhered the poinsettia to the card and added a silk ribbon tied with silver twine. Everything was secured with the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium.

Securing Cut Files Using Dodz Adhesive Dots

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Have you ever looked at a cut file and thought “Sure that looks great but it will be too much work to put together!?!” Today’s layout features one of those cut files, but I am going to show you how I put the project together a little more quickly with the help of a variety of Adhesive Dots! Securing cut files using Dodz Adhesive Dots can make the complicated process way more simple.

Securing Cut Files Using Dodz Adhesive Dots

I have looked at this butterfly heart cut file multiple times and each time I have walked away and passed on the time commitment. But motivated by a beautiful patterned paper and boxes of Adhesive Dots, I decided it was time.

I used the actual original, cut as a stencil, for where I wanted to place the butterflies. Additionally to hold the stencil in place I used Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable. They worked like a breeze and were easy to remove once I was done! Securing cut files using Dodz Adhesive Dots was so much faster than I ever imagined. I combined both Dodz Adhesive Dots Small and Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium depending on what size the butterflies were.

Using Dodz Adhesive Dots, focusing them on the center of each location, allowed me to pull the wings up on the butterflies and add some interesting dimension and movement to the whole layout.

It’s a rare day to find me creating a scrapbook layout and not using either Crafty Foam Tape or 3D Foam Squares. Not surprisingly, these both came in handy for adding my embellishments beyond the butterflies.

Process Video

I created a process video to share how I created the entire layout.

Thanks for stopping!

Let it Snow: Glittered 3D Foam Holiday Card

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Are you working on your holiday card? It’s only about 8 weeks to go before Christmas! It’s time to start making Christmas holiday and winter cards. Today’s project is a Christmas card using the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit.

Let it Snow: Glittered 3D Foam Holiday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making my holiday card.

Let’s start with a white card base and layer with red and dark blue cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere to the layers.

The snowflake background was made with a template and texture paste.

The snowy hills are die cuts that adhered on the card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Creating the striped glitter effect on the trees:

Affix 3D Tree shapes from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit onto the card base.

Next, carefully score lines through the liner on the trees with a craft knife.

Then peel off some of the liner stripes to sprinkle green glitter on the exposed sticky surfaces of the 3D Foam Tree. Gently rub the glitter so it sticks.

Remove several other stripes of the protective liner and rub another shade of green glitter on. Repeat with a third green glitter color. For the stem, use brown glitter to finish off.

Add a 3D Foam Star as a tree topper by rubbing gold craft foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit after removing the top liner.

To finish, stamp a sentiment and add some rhinestones to the tree with the golden star.

Handmade Holidays Gift Journal Tutorial and Blog Hop

Posted on November 7, 2017 by Judy Hayes

This handsome handmade journal by Judy Hayes is featured today on Day 1 which showcases the gift ideas theme of the Handmade Holidays Blog Hop. Judy teaches you how the technique she uses to make kraft paper look like gorgeous leather with ink. She shows how easy it is to assemble the journal with our Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12in and Premium Double-Sided Tape ½in.

Welcome to the 7th Annual Handmade Holidays Blog Hop!

Not only will you be inspired by 3 days of projects and tutorials, but what’s a blog hop without a giveaway? Read through to the end for each day’s themes (and links to them), plus prizes from sponsors like us!

Handmade Holidays Gift Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Journal Basics

This Handmade Gift Journal is completely handmade starting with the cardboard covers and spine fastened together with linen hinging tape. The back cover is scored and folded ⅝in from long edge near the hinge, add the here. Covers measure 5½ x 7¼in, and the spine, 1 x 7¼in.

Designing the Journal Cover

For the front covers, place an Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12in over each cover, remove the bottom liner to apply the adhesive and trim off excess. Keep the top liner on for now.

Place a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in on the spine for added adhesive strength.

Let’s create the raised frame design on the journal cover. First, apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12in over a piece of cardboard and die-cut a frame shape. To determine placement on the journal cover, trace the frame with a stylus over the adhesive sheet liner of the front cover. It will show the outline when removing the liner.

Remove the liner from the front cover and place the frame die cut on the cover. Set aside.

Making Faux Leather Paper

Cut two pieces of kraft cardstock about 2in bigger than each cover on all sides. Next, mist with water and crumple well. Flatten and crumple again for a distressed leather look.

Next, spray with an ink and water mixture for its first layer of color.

This time add more ink by directly using the ink pad to paper for a bolder effect.

Go back and forth on the water misting and inking until you get your desired coloring and design. Note that the color will be lighter when dry.

Finally, press paper with a dry iron to flatten and dry faster.

Now it’s ready to apply onto the journal covers. Press each piece of faux leather paper onto covers, with a seam along the spine. Carefully outline the frame on the front with a stylus to bring out its design.

Trim edges about ½in from outside edges of cover. From the excess piece, cut 1 x 8½in. strip and apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in to it. Then fasten it over the seam on the spine.

Finishing the Inside Covers

On the inside covers, apply Premium Double-Sided Tape ½in along all of its edges.

Miter cut the paper at its corners. Then start working on one side at a time to remove tape backing and fold paper to the inside, mitering each corner. Repeat on all edges.

Apply Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12in to patterned paper. Cut paper to fit and cover the inside covers.

Use a binding machine to cut holes along the fold of the back cover. Add more ink along edges and over the frame for a finished look. When dry, spray cover with a sealer.

Embellishing the Front Cover

Die cut an etched die with thin copper metal. Also, die cut the same etched die with a thin cardboard that has a piece of Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12in applied on its front. Fasten to the back of copper and lightly sand the copper. Hand write “journal” on a piece of paper and tape on top of the copper. Firmly trace letters with a stylus and add vertical lines. Flip the copper piece over and trace around letters. Then go over letters again on the front.

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼in and Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½in over the back of the copper piece. Trim tape around edges.

Sponge black craft paint over the copper. Allow to dry slightly and then buff off raised areas. Repeat as needed. Remove tape backing and fasten to journal cover.

Making the Inside Pages

For the inside pages, cut paper to 4½ x 7¼in. The stack should be about ½in thick. Cut holes with a binding machine and insert wire binding through pages and journal cover. Then close with the machine. Tie seam binding to wire on the back of the journal. Embellish by adding beads to ends of the seam binding and knot to secure.

Selfie Scrapbooking Layout with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hi everyone, Jana here with a new layout for you using my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® product, Crafty Foam Tape!

The scrapbook page focuses on a photo that shows my oldest son taking some selfies. I’ve never seen a boy taking so many pictures of himself! But I really enjoy watching him taking different poses and faces, it’s so much fun!

Selfie Star layout by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Creating the Layout

On a mint cardstock, I added white acrylic paint and stamped with bubble wrap in coordinating color paints. It needed just a little something so I randomly flicked liquid ink. I wanted just enough to frame my “Super Star” title which I used Crafty Foam Tape to pop it up. Love that it gives the perfect height and dimension!

3D Foam Squares are my “go to” adhesives for tiny elements and details. They come in different sizes and height, just perfect!

Here I’ve added some tangled thread for more texture and interest. I used Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the thread and the big star. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips is the perfect choice for the paper strips! You can easily apply single strips get the right amount of adhesive you need for a small item.

It was really fun putting this layout together, and am very happy how it turned out. There’s a process video on how I created it, watch below:

Fall Decor Featuring 3D Foam Leaves

Posted on November 5, 2017 by Dana Tatar

It’s fall and I’m sharing a quick seasonal hanging decor piece that can be done in under 30 minutes! Hello, Dana Tatar here. I’ve combined stamped burlap, mini embroidery hoops, ribbon, and glittered 3D Foam Leaves to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside!

Fall-Embroidery-Hoop-Decor-by-Dana-Tatar-for-Scrapbook-Adhesives-by-3L

I had a lot of fun using this concept, the colorful glitter on the 3D Foam Leaves really catches the sunlight. The seasonal pop of colors that this quick project added to the front of my home makes me happy!

Fall-Stamped-Muslin-by-Dana-Tatar-for-Scrapbook-Adhesives-by-3L

How to Make A Hanging Embroidery Hoop Fall Décor Piece

Step 1: Cut squares of muslin slightly larger than the embroidery hoops. Next, apply brown fabric ink to letter stamps and press onto the muslin squares. Then, set the ink with a heat tool or an iron.

Embroidery-Hoop-Decor-Assembly-by-Dana-Tatar-for-Scrapbook-Adhesives-by-3L

Step 2: Assemble the piece. First, lay the inner rings of the embroidery hoops on the work surface, leaving about an inch of space between each hoop. Next, center a piece of ribbon over the hoops. Then lay the stamped muslin squares over the hoops.

Fasten the outer rings of the embroidery hoops over the inner hoops. The outer rings secure both the stamped muslin and the ribbon together into one hanging décor piece. Use scissors to trim away any excess muslin from the hoops.

Step 3: Embellish the hoops with glittered 3D Foam Leaves. Each package of 3D Foam Leaves includes two sheets of 14 leaves in a variety of shapes and sizes. Mix and match colors of glitter and leaf shapes on each embroidery hoop.

Fall-Embroidery-Hoop-Decor-Closeup-1-by-Dana-Tatar-for-Scrapbook-Adhesives-by-3L

Fold and tuck the end of the ribbon into the back side of the top embroidery hoop to create a loop for hanging. Thread a second piece of ribbon through this loop and tie into a bow.

Fall-Embroidery-Hoop-Decor-Closeup-2-by-Dana-Tatar-for-Scrapbook-Adhesives-by-3L

Use scissors to make a v-cut into the end the ribbon hanging from the last embroidery hoop.

How to Adapt This Design For Winter Holidays

If you already have your Fall décor finished, try modifying this project for the Winter months.

Change the color scheme to blue and white, or red and green, and stamp a festive Winter or Christmas greeting.
Alter the round embroidery hoops to look like ornaments.
Use this same procedure to link together three hoops to create a snowman.

Be sure to check out the full selection 3D Foam products. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® offers trees, stars, snowflakes, Christmas shapes, and a super fun 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit that includes 5 sheets of colorful craft foil!
