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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Celebration Card with 3D Foam Stars and Glitter

Posted on November 4, 2017 by Guest Blogger

I’m sharing a celebration card using 3D Foam Stars and white glitter to Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside! Hello everyone! It’s Marilyn, I’m using the 3D Foam Stars to bring dimension and textures to the background of my card.

Celebration Card with 3D Foam Stars and Glitter by Marilyn Rivera for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the background of my Celebration Card

Starti with a 5 1/2 x 5″ white cardstock as the card panel, paint with distress oxide ink. Then adhere the 3D Foam Stars on the background.

Next, let’s create a design on the card panel. I used different types and sizes of the 3D Foam Stars. Make sure to keep the top liner on for now.

Now for the fun part: Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside! Carefully peel off the top liner from the 3D Foam Stars and sprinkle white glitter over all the stars. Press glitter lightly into foam stars and then tap off excess.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment in black on the card panel. For the little girl die cut, I first stamped with white cardstock. Then colored the image with a combination of Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. After I die-cut with its coordinating die, I placed 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back and adhered it to my card front.

From this angle of the image, you can see all the dimension the 3D Foam adhesives add to the card. The stars look fantastic! Next, adhere the card panel to the black card base with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

It’s easy and fun to create this fantastic background, especially with the 3D Foam Stars! I love how it turned out and hope you find some inspiration from this card.

Secure Autumn Leaves with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Christine Emberson

There are barely any leaves left on trees here in the UK…Autumn came so quickly this year! They are in heaps on the ground and have become the inspiration for my seasonal card. Hi everyone, Christine here today to show you how easy it is to secure these leaves on my card panel.

Easily Secured Autumn Leaves with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making my Autumn Leaves Card

On my kraft card base, I die-cut two mat sizes (one in burgundy and the other in Kraft cardstock) to create my matted card panel and affixed with the E-Z Runner Grand® Refillable Dispenser.

Next, I die-cut MANY leaf shapes from white cardstock, using my manual die-cutting machine.

Then colored and shaded them with distress inks in warm autumn color tones. Now they are very Autumnal, don’t you think?

I die cut a square from kraft cardstock and attached Creative Photo Corners Kraft to each corner as an accent. This gives a nice frame to the square.

Note: you can always color photo corners too.

To easily attach the leaves I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, these work so well, securing them firmly in place, ideal if you are mailing your card.

For a different but subtle element, I added another smaller Kraft square on top of the large square to cover the leaf ends and placed ‘thankful’ die cut sentiment in burgundy cardstock to finish the card.

Fall Leaf Home Decor with Dual Tip Glue Pen

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

I took a simple $3 wooden leaf and made it something extra special for my front door this fall season. Happy Fall everyone! Today I’m here to share this seasonal project with you.

Fall Leaf Home Decor with Dual Tip Glue Pen by Latrice Murphy for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Setting up the Fall Leaf Home Decor

To begin this project, choose cardstock or embellishments you would like to cover your large wooden leaf with.

Next, decide on a design that will be large enough to cover the entire leaf.

Using an electronic or manual die cutting machine, cut the leaf design. Also, I cut the ribbon off of the large wooden leaf that was attached to it and will replace it later in the tutorial.

Cut up your solid cardstock of fall colors into small pieces. Use the brush end of the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen and apply glue to cover the entire wooden leaf. Randomly place the cardstock pieces on top and overlapping where you desire.

Then add a second layer of glue to seal the cardstock layer and place the cut leaf design on top. I’m not worried about the glue showing brush marks because there will be embellishments added on top. It does dry clear.

In my pile of embellishments, I have small wooden veneer leaves and vintage buttons to go with my project. I adhered them with the 3D Foam Squares White Small Size.

Trim the leaf design piece around the edges with an Exacto knife. Afterwards add your desired embellishments, word, stickers and etc.

Create a hole with a paper piercing tool for the ribbon. I used a green ribbon and tied a bow. It’s ready to hang!

With Halloween last night, I’ve got my fall totes on standby ready to swap everything out! This will be on our front door this year. It’s something simple and easy to make, and fun at the same time.

I can’t wait to make more decorations, and then on to DIY gift making for the holidays. Stay tuned!

Halloween Invitation Cards with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Happy Halloween! Jana here with some fun invitation cards for you. We do not celebrate Halloween here in Germany, but we’re having a birthday party! My little one turns eight and he wants to have a spooky Halloween party. Guests will be dressed up and I’m excited to see them!

Happy Halloween Invite Cards with Crafty Foam Tape by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Create the Birthday Invitation Cards

First, start with black 4 x 8″ cardstock for the card base, then I paint with black acrylic paint for texture. Stamp with bubble wrap and watermark ink. Sprinkle gold embossing powder and heat it to create a stunning background.

To hold down the paper strips, I use E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser because it is strong enough to hold against the embossed dots.

I adhered the “8” die cut on the circle shape using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then I added Crafty Foam Tape on the back and placed it by the paper strips.

Next, Halloween shaped sequins were randomly placed on the card front and secured with Adhesive Dots Mini.

Here they are after I put them all together. BUT there was something missing…

I need spider webs! With black thread, I looped them a few times and placed behind the white scallop circles. This gives it more interest and another texture. Looks like a bit of spiderweb, right?

The invitation cards were sent out and the guests (kids) loved the cards so much! I too really love how they turned out! Happy Halloween to all!

Embossing with Adhesive Sheets – Happy Halloween

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Need a new trick to try on your paper crafts projects? Do you love embossing powder? Well then, I have a treat for you today! Have you ever looked at the background on a patterned paper and felt like it needed a little more punch to go with your picture?

As I looked at my photo and the background paper I also wanted to use, I knew it needed a little more color – specifically color that matched my picture. Therefore once again, I dug into my Adhesive Sheets to turn things around! It’s Christine joining you today with a technique I have shared earlier but just love: heat embossing with Adhesive Sheets.

Embossing with Adhesive Sheets by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using Heat Embossing with Adhesive Sheets

I started things off with a simple background paper from Doodlebug Design and altered it dramatically using several different adhesives: 4 X 6 Adhesive Sheets, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, and the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. These are all some of my favorite go-to adhesives!

Embossing powder with Adhesive Sheets, Christine Meyer

The original base paper didn’t have a lot of the colors that were in my picture, however I had heat embossing powder in both aqua and yellow to coordinate perfectly with my picture. I used star punches to punch out the Adhesive Sheets and adhere them to my layout. Then I created a beautiful and colorful night sky by embossing with Adhesive Sheets. The video below walks you thru the entire process:

I never get thru an entire project without using either 3D Foam Squares or Crafty Foam Tape – both of these products are absolute necessities for me! I love that they are an easy way to add dimension AND they also hold really well. As I mentioned in the video – the Crafty Foam Tape speeds things up when you have longer pieces to add dimension to.

Thanks so much for joining me today – Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

Happy Haunting Card using 3D Foam Squares

Posted on October 29, 2017 by AJ Otto

Happy Haunting to you all! Today’s card ventures out of my normal Halloween color palette by using red! I usually adore the standard Halloween colors together, but wanted my little superhero boy’s cape to be red! 🙂

Happy Haunting Card by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Haunting Card Instructions:

This card comes together quite quickly. First of all, I used our E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere to white card panel to the card base, and then, adhere the red strip to the white layer.

To give the background some interest, I swiped my ink pad onto a craft sheet and add water. Using a paintbrush, I flicked ink on the white card panel.

Next, I stamped the adorable little superhero with white cardstock, colored with Copic Markers and die-cut with its coordinating die. The die cut was attached to the card panel using our 3D Foam Squares for a pop of dimension. I stamped my sentiment and done!

I can’t wait to send this off to my little nephew! Do you use non-traditional colors in your holiday cards? Tell me below in the comments what you’ve used!

enjoy!!

Cute Halloween Tags with 3D Foam Squares and More!

Posted on October 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

What better way to share colored popcorn than with CUTE Halloween Tags! These were easy to make with 3D Foam Squares White Mix and other 3D Foam shapes: 3D Foam Stars, and 3D Foam Pennants.

Hello Everyone! It’s Judy here today to show you how to Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with not only these 3D Foam shapes but adhesive dots like Adhesive Dots Mini and Adhesive Dots Small and glitter! The paper layers are fastened with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Cute Halloween Tags with 3D Foam Squares and More by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to make these Halloween Tags!

First of all, start with cute Halloween themed patterned papers and titles as the foundation for the tags. I stamped the little trick or treaters, die-cut in white cardstock and colored with Distress Markers. Aren’t they cute?

Die cuts were given dimension, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and placed them on patterned papers cut in rectangle shapes as mats. Also, some of the titles were popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. In addition, the matted images were fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White to each tag because I wanted that subtle layer.

For one of the “Trick or Treat” title, I used Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside by adding black glitter on the top of the 3D Foam Pennants and then placed the title on top of the glitter. Brings something extra fun to the tag!

Sparkly, glittered 3D Foam Stars accent each tag and I repeat the same process to the tops of Adhesive Dots Mini and Adhesive Dots Small across each tag.

Can’t stop at just sparkle! Why not add twine and ribbon? Each bag had a colorful combination of the two for each bag of popcorn.

Finally, I’ve fastened a smaller white tag on the back using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and stamped a verse with space to personalize it.

Hope you’ve enjoyed these tags. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Halloween!

Spellbound Halloween Treat Tins Tutorial

Posted on October 27, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

These treat tins are the perfect sweet treats to have around! They are quick and easy to make for the extra special little ones in your life… OR maybe even the big ones? LOL! These would be fun to leave on the desk of your coworkers, for teachers, the mail carrier, the UPS driver.. whoever. Halloween is just a few days away now. Who wouldn’t love a fun treat?

Spellbound Halloween Treat Tins by Vicki Chrisman for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You can find these tins almost anywhere now. I found these at my local craft store, but many discount retailers carry them now.

Let’s make these Treat Tins!

With the help of some of my favorite adhesives, these came together in a flash!

Adhesive Sheets 4×6 work great for adhering the pieces I want to add directly to the clear top. I love how it seals right to the edge.

I added the acrylic sheet pieces with the spider web on it to the inside of the canister lid, using the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen around the inside rim.

To adhere the paper strip to the side, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand.

For a couple of the pieces that I wanted to give a little lift to, I used 3D Foam Squares. I love that I have a choice not only in size but also in two colors (black or white) for the project at hand.
