Mixed Media Round Shaped Card

Posted on September 16, 2017 by Guest Blogger

My project is a mixed media round shaped card. Hi, Lea here and I’m addicted to making round cards! LOL! So today I will share how to create this with a combination of 3D Foam Squares as dimension and how to “Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside” with glitter.

Mixed Media Round Shaped Card by Lea Biccelli for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating my shaped card

The card base is a nice cardboard card which I covered with patterned paper. Note that I trimmed a slightly smaller circle and then distressed its circumference edges. Next I attached it with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4 in.

Embellishing the card front

I added a pair of floral elements using white acrylic mousse and a stencil. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I have adhered scraps of patterned papers, gauze and romantic heart-shaped chipboard.

For handmade embellishments, I drew flowers and leaves and painted them with watercolors. When dried, I fussy cut them. To give various dimension, I either used 3D Foam Squares as is (one layer) or stack two 3D Foam Squares for extra height behind my handmade embellishments.

Another kind of handmade embellishment was to “Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside” with gold glitter and 3D Foam Squares Black Regular. Simply take the top liner off and sprinkle with glitter. Then tap excess off and adhere to your project. In addition, I cut them in smaller pieces to create small highlights here and there.

Finally, I added some splashes of white acrylic, squared die cuts and “with Love” sentiment. It’s ready to give!

Today AJ Otto brews up her fun card tutorial just for the occasion!

Coffee Lovers Fall 2017 - AJ Otto

Let’s get to the coffee card! 🙂

Start by stamping the coffee cup onto my white card layer. Next, add a thin blue strip of card stock on the bottom for a pop of color, and then strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in just above it for a glittered stripe. This is one of my favorite techniques for adding a pop of that little extra something! Simply peel the backing off, and pour glitter over it then tap off the excess. It’s that easy!

Now that my focal layer is complete I can adhere it to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape in White.

Stamp and heat emboss your sentiment and adhere it using 3D Foam Squares White Small Size.

Finish it off with a few sequins using our Dodz Adhesives Dots Small.

Can you see the glittery line across the bottom? Doesn’t that look great?

Thank You Card Set using Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Today I’m sharing a thank you card set that I created using the Crafty Foam Tape White, Adhesive Dots Micro and E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. I love the Crafty Foam Tape on a roll because it can be used on larger project or pieces of paper.

I will be sending these cards to my clients so I pulled out some fun patterned paper in colors that matched my logo with fun wood veneer cameras. Check out one card from the set below.

Thank You Card using Crafty Foam Tape by Latrice Murphy for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, let’s choose my materials for my card. This circular patterned paper was perfect, and I cut them into rows to add to the card front.

Thank You Card using Crafty Foam Tape by Latrice Murphy Supplies

Thank You Card Instructions

Layer the white cardstock on top of the teal card. Then adhere a 2-1/4″ strip of orange with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Next add the row of circular patterned paper on top of orange strip on the card front and adhere with the Craft Foam Tape.

With my cute little wood veneer camera embellishments, I placed a Adhesive Dots Micro on the backs to place on the card. I tried to get a photo of this step. They are so tiny! But perfect for so many of these kinds of projects.

Finally, I stamped “thanks” in black ink for interest. For the card front, I spritzed with black ink. After the cards dry, it’s ready to be sent.

Off to send these to clients as a thank you for their business. Love that handmade cards are going in the mail for them to enjoy!

Happy Fall Scrapbook Page with Creative Photo Corners Tutorial

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Creative Photo Corners aren’t just for photos anymore! It’s Tracy here sharing a fun fall layout and my obsession with Creative Photo Corners. They can be SO much more than a way to adhere your photos to a layout. On this page I’m using them as an embellishment on my border.

Another crafting confession: I love when the air gets cooler and leaves start changing colour. It’s such a great time of year to take photos. Which means… I LOVE scrapbooking my fall photos. So here a little fall crafty inspiration for you.

This post has been super popular on Pinterest, thank you for pinning it!

Fall Scrapbook page with Creative Photo Corners by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Instructions for Happy Fall Page:

My first step is to always cut the patterned paper pieces and create my basic layout. The squares for my border are 3 inches. I originally cut two squares from four patterns, but in the end added 3 more squares.

Next, ink the edges of all the pieces with chocolate brown ink.

I also added Creative Photo Corners around the edged of my daughter’s photo. They help to frame the photo and create a focal point on my layout.

TIP: I add adhesive to the back of my photo and THEN add the Creative Photo Corners. This ensures that the photo corners don’t slip off as you put your photo in place.

Creating the Photo Corner Border

The patterned paper border was pretty easy to complete. Once I had all of the different patterned paper squares cut, I added a Gold Creative Photo Corner to the bottom corner of each square. If you wanted to measure out the edge of the layout for easier placement, you could do that. I kind of just winged it. The gold corners create a consistent line as you look down the different patterned papers.

After I created my border, I added the matted photo to the layout. Then I used 3D Foam Squares to adhere my photo to the layout. I layered 2 3D Foam Squares to add extra depth to the title circle.

There you have it! A super easy fall layout created using some of my adhesive favourites.

Halloween Plaid with Premium Double-Sided Tapes!

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Michele here to share a fun Halloween Plaid card using Premium Double-Sided Tapes! It has felt like fall for quite some time in Chicago, so I figured I’d roll with it and start my fall cards!

To create the plaid design, I used Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ and in Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″. In making your own background, I would recommend finding images on the Internet for inspiration. I did one layer at a time and gave it a generous coating of glitter as I went.

Halloween Plaid Card Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mad about (Halloween) Plaid

For the very top layer I used white glitter and a bit of clear dimensional gloss medium to make it a bit thicker and more opaque. I didn’t want the background competing too much with my stamped image. For the witch’s shoes, I stamped, colored and cut it out. Then I adhered the shoes and my sentiment with Crafty Foam Tape.

Embellishing the Rest

To add a few sequins (including a couple of spiders!), I used Adhesive Dots Mini to attach each one. Then I added a drop of black enamel accents to the centers of each sequin. The Halloween plaid background was attached to the scalloped die cut underneath it using E-Z Squares® Refillable Runner. Next it was attached to the light grey card stock using Crafty Foam Tape.

Heat Embossing using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on September 9, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Did you know you can do heat embossing on our Adhesive Sheets? I was experimenting to see what I could come up with and found that you can use embossing powder with them! Let’s take a look at my fall themed card.

Heat embossing using adhesive sheets on a fall card

Using Heat Embossing with Adhesive Sheets

First of all, the process for creating this is about as easy as traditional heat embossing with a stamp pad. Consequently, heat embossing with Adhesive Sheets eliminates the need to have stamps or a stamp pad. You can use a punch, electronic cutting system, or just do a messy torn look for the shapes you heat emboss! Here’s a video with a quick walk thru of how I created the whole card.

Heat embossing using adhesive sheets on a fall card2

The Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ come with 10 sheets in a pack, just enough to play and experiment before you fully commit to the technique. They are double-sided sheets of adhesive, perfect for a variety of traditional and non-traditional applications. These adhesive sheets are also available in packs of 12 x 12″ and 6 x 12″ sizes.

Heat embossing using adhesive sheets on a fall card

Finally, here’s a close up look at the leaves on the card – you can see the heat embossing with the Adhesive Sheets adds such interesting texture. Also I used ink to add some color around them. The embossing resisted the color well, it just needed a little wipe down.

Thinking ahead to Christmas and snow season, these would make very pretty snowflakes! So who’s ready to try this heat emboss technique using adhesive sheets? Be sure to share with us if you do!

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Card Embellishment with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on September 8, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there! It’s Stephanie here with a Hello card using 3D Foam Creative Sheets to create a stunning embellishment as a focal accent. You can use it on a card or other types of projects. Let me show you how…

Card Embellishment with 3D Foam Creative Sheets by Stephanie Schutze

In a few steps, you too can create this embellishment by working with 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Step Outs for Card Embellishment with 3D Foam Creative Sheets by Stephanie Schutze

Create the Embellishment:

Die cut a doily shape with white 3D Foam Creative Sheets.
Gold and silver embossing powders were my color choices to heat emboss.
Apply silver powder in the middle and then use gold powder for the outer area.
Then heat emboss it for a beautiful effect.

My base was a coaster. Paint with a combination of light blue, turquoise and darker blue colors.
With brown acrylic paint, distress the edges.
Make sure the middle is lighter and the edges are darker in color.
Remove the liner from the doily and adhere it onto the card.

For the finishing touch, add little stickers to accent the card. This embellished card will accompany a small gift. I hope they like it!

This one of many possibilities you can create with 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Try an embellishment of your own, it’s so much fun.

Tiny Paper House Tutorial with Photo Corners Shingles

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello, It’s Judy, and today I have a tutorial for this adorable tiny paper house! But first, see those shingles? They’re actually Creative Photo Corners! Because they are self-adhesive and the perfect size, they’re easy to arrange and fasten to the roof.

Tiny House Instructions:

To make this little house, I die cut the pieces from a brown file folder. The house parts are embossed before cutting to create the look of vertical siding. To add color to the house, fence, step and base, I used various colored inks.

For easy assembly, apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ to the flaps, its super strong and tacky, and it holds immediately.

The window frames are glued onto the house with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The fine tip makes it easy to apply to such tiny pieces. Glue the door in place and then assemble the house walls.

The shingles are the Kraft colored Creative Photo Corners. They have adhesive on the back side, which makes it easy to position and layer on the roof. The Creative Photo Corners have a subtle embossed pattern on them, which adds texture to the look of the roof.

Start by off-setting the Creative Photo Corners and then lap them. Trim the edges along the roof edges for a clean line. Repeat the process on the house roof and smaller roof.

Next, create a “ridge cap” with strip of file folder that is folded in half lengthwise. Ink it for color and fasten with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ.

Do the same with the smaller roof and add the chimney. Attach the fence to the base with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Embellishing the front of the Tiny House

The pumpkins are some tiny seed pods in a bag of potpourri and fastened in place with a combination of Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Mini. A tiny handwritten sign hangs on the fence. I found a small lilac branch to make a bare tree with air dry clay base.

I can almost image sitting on that step enjoying a sunny fall day!

Stitched Cards | Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares

Posted on September 6, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hi everyone, Jana here with a new fun project for you. I love to sew on my projects so my idea today is to create some crazy and colorful stitched cards in a color gradient from light to dark. My main adhesive is Crafty Foam Tape with some 3D Foam Squares, Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Value Pack

Stitched Cards | Foam Tape & 3D Foam Squares by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Stitched Card instructions

For this I started with two 3,5″ x 5,5″ white cardstock pieces with A LOT of machine stitching on them. I really love how that turned out.

Use washi tape to secure the end of threads and then add Crafty Foam Tape White for dimension. Adhere the stitched card panel to the card base.

Don’t you just love how much height it gives to my cards! It looks great especially when the card panel and card base are white on white.

The blue stitched card is for one of my crafty friends. It’s an invitation for a crafty day at my house, which should be a FUN time!

Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ is perfect for securing little elements. It will definitely stay in place!

The Dual Tip Glue Pen will hold those letters stickers because I wasn’t sure about the stitched surface. Better be safe than sorry, right?

My second card (red stitched card) is for a good friend who is moving into a new house and everything is changing for her so I wanted to let her know that all will be OK!

To secure and to give dimension to the leaves, I added E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Value Pack and 3D Foam Squares.

Add tiny word stickers, labels, puffy stickers and a heart…it’s done!

Creating these cards was really fun, and I can’t wait to give them to my friends! Have you tried stitching on your projects?! It’s something fun and different, give it a try if you haven´t yet!
