Altered Chest of Drawers with Premium Double-Sided Tape

Posted on July 13, 2017 by Erica Houghton

Today I’m sharing an altered back-to-school themed chest of drawers using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser and Adhesive Dots Small.

Altered Chest of Drawers with Premium Double-Sided Tape by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I first started by forming the drawers. These were chipboard pieces that had to be folded and adhered into place. I used the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ to attached each side together.

Next, I traced, cut out, and adhered pattern paper to the front and back of the chest of drawers using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

Finally, I covered the front, back and inside of each drawer with pattern paper using the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″. This durable double-sided tape ensures my pattern paper remains intact, even after a little wear and tear as the drawers are pulled out and pushed in.

Here are a few close-ups (note: I used Adhesive Dots Small to adhere some of the smaller embellishments, including the flowers and banners):

Glitter Feather Layout using Dual Tip Glue Pen

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey there crafty friends! Today I have an easy glitter embellishment tutorial using our Dual Tip Glue Pen and some of my other favourites.

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a little sparkle. Today I thought I would show you how easy it is to add sparkle using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

First, I took my die cut feathers and inked the edges in gold ink.

Then I used the thick end of the Dual Tip Glue Pen and painted on the liquid adhesive where I wanted my gold glitter to be. Sprinkle with glitter and tap off the excess and let dry.

Once dry then I simply added the feathers to my layout using 3D Foam Squares Black Regular. I added my pearls, buttons and sequins using my Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Another perfect golden accent came in the form of these Creative Photo Corners Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thinking Outside the Box in Creating Soccer Birthday Party Invites

Posted on July 9, 2017 by Christine Meyer

It’s birthday season in our house! What do you do with craft supplies and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products? Think outside of the box by making ONE OF A KIND party invitations, of course! Christine joining you today to show how created these Soccer Birthday Party Invites using several of our fabulous adhesives!

Soccer Birthday Party Invites using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once I got the ideas in my head and started working these came together in a quick period of time! I started by cutting a couple of cardstock circles on my manual die cut machine.

Thin 3D Foam Squares went in between the green and blue layer to add some dimension.

Then I attached them to the clear tubes with Adhesive Lines. These were nice and long so I just needed one!

I punched out three coordinating stars and added those using Adhesive Dots Mini!

Last but not least I rolled up my invitations and sealed it with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Runner. These were perfect for little hands to unseal them and having seen a little boy open it, he thought that was pretty neat! Then he could roll it back up, seal it, and tuck it back in!

Want to check out how I made these? View Soccer Birthday Party Invites video below!

All in all this was a super fun project and watching my little guy deliver them to his neighborhood friends was the icing on the cake!

Creating Polka Dots Background with Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable

Posted on July 8, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, I want to show you how I created a polka dots background using Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable. A fun twist to using adhesives with spray paint for an interesting background!

Let’s get started with my little tutorial for you…

First, on a 20 x 20cm piece of watercolor paper, I applied the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable randomly.

Then I sprayed paint in a dark color over the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable until I had my desired look.

Let it dry.

When dried, I pulled off the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable…such a fun background!

Then I adhered my pieces of scrapbook papers, photos and elements with the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser. Gave the page final details by adding sticker and washi tape.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a great day!
Stephanie

Quick Treat Bags with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on July 7, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! It’s Judy here today to share some very quick treat bags using Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ . These are meant to be a last minute quick project for a spur of the moment gathering! Of course, they can be made ahead for such a purpose!

I was inspired to make these after a weekend at the lake with family. My sister put together treat bags for everyone with candies and assorted goodies. Everyone enjoyed them!

Simple is key for these bags! The Kraft bags I used are 4¾ x 7½ʺ and the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ were the perfect width.

I applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ to back of 6 colors of cardstock. One was used for the die cut “For You” and the others were cut into strips. See HOW TO USE ADHESIVE SHEETS FOR DIE CUTTING AND MORE video below for a quick tutorial…

Various strips were fastened to each Kraft bag. (Tip: I put the bag with strips through my die cut machine with embossing sandwich to firmly secure.) I added white faux stitches with a pigment pen. The die-cut verse is fastened on top. I added an extra strip of color cardstock across bag top. The bag is stapled shut over a white tag. These can be made with any combination of colors or even patterned papers.

For me, summer is all about outdoor activities with not much time for crafting. So I have to make quick projects.

Happy crafting,
Judy

Hello there, Summer Layout with Layers + Dimension

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hello everyone, Jana here with a new layout with layers and dimension, using 3D Foam Squares – White Small and Crafty Foam Tape White. We have a little pool in our garden and my little one loves to jump in! I had so much fun watching him so I took some awesome photos. Here you can see one of them!

I started by cutting out a lot of scalloped borders from different patterned papers to create some “waves.” The idea came from the black scallops design and I ran with it 🙂

Watercolors and splatters in the background were added to give it more of the water look and its movement.

I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the strips down. But i also added some stitching to them for accent.

Thin 3D Foam Squares were added for a subtle layer of dimension. I used my favorite Crafty Foam Tape under my photo and paper layers to pop it up.

3D Foam Squares were added to all the die cuts and elements – just love all the dimension on this layout!

The final touch was some sequins! I used some Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini to get all the little sequins onto my project.

I TOTALLY LOVE how this turned out and had a lot of fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper Sparklers Featuring Premium Double-Sided Tape

Posted on July 4, 2017 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how to quickly put together paper sparklers with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″. If you’re looking for a fun patriotic paper craft to help occupy a group of kids during your Independence Day celebration, this is a good one!

Paper Holiday Sparklers Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The supply list is short, the steps are easy to follow, and this project is great for kids of all ages. Maybe more importantly, exposed skin, long flowing hair, and clothing or other flammable fabrics are all safe with this paper version of the festive firework.

Making Paper Sparkers

Step 1: Cut the red, white, and blue patterned papers to measure 4 x 5 inches. Use scissors to cut narrow strips into the paper pieces. Leave a 1/4 inch strip of paper along the top edge of each piece of paper uncut.

Note: Cardstock, vellum, gift wrap, or specialty glitter paper would also work great. Use what you have on hand.

Step 2: Apply a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ across the uncut portion of each piece of fringed paper.

Step 3: Remove the paper liner from the strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″. Place a straw on the tape at the edge of the patterned paper and roll, pressing firmly, until the paper is wrapped around the straw.

Step 4: Remove the paper liner from the strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ on a second, contrasting color, piece of patterned paper. Place the straw from the previous step on the tape at the edge of the patterned paper and roll, pressing firmly, until the paper is wrapped around the straw.

Repeat this process with the remaining paper and straws. My paper sparklers were thoroughly kid-tested. The permanent bond of the double-sided tape is strong and will hold up to rough handling. These festive paper sparklers also make great centerpieces!

Creating Mixed Media Artist Trading Cards (ATCs)

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Guest Blogger

Hello everyone, Lea Biccelli here! I am very happy to share my creations with you as part of the Guest Designer Team for the next several months. For my first project, I made a mini set of mixed media Artist Trading Cards (ATCs).

Set of Mixed Media Artist Trading Cards by Lea Biccelli for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I cut a total of four rectangles (2.5 x 3.5″): two from a strip of canvas already painted with the watercolor from a previous project, and two from plain white cardstock.

Adhere the canvas and white cardstock together using Premium Double-Sided Tape Permanent 1/4″ to make two strong base for the ATCs.

Next I applied a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro and Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium randomly on the cards.

After removing the protective film (liner), I poured over brown embossing powder, tapped off the excess and heat embossed. I loved how it turned out with its wonderful dimensional effect. Then I stamped and added some splashes of white acrylic paint. The background is ready!

Now the FUN part…to compose my design! Glue half of a circular chipboard with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Its applicator tips (a fine tip and a wider tip to cover larger surfaces) is so useful for what I wanted to accomplish. I also added a scrap piece of doily with Premium Double-Sided Tape Permanent 1/4″.

I used strips of patterned paper and small painted canvas scraps to create the center of the card. Then add a heart shaped embellishment on top. I used 3D Foam Squares – White Mix to attach the ensemble to the card.

For the finishing touches, I added words, sequins and white rope to frame the heart.

Organize Your Crafting Space with Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable

Posted on July 2, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Need help to organize your craft space? Hi everyone, it’s Christine here today with an idea to help organize your crafting space with a little help from Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable.

It doesn’t take long to amass lots of craft items and we all look to different ideas for storage. Clip boxes are ideal but I often forget as to what was inside each box. I definitely need a combination of Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable and labeling!

Organize your craft supplies by Christine Emberson

Let’s Organize!

First I typed out the contents of each box on my computer and printed it out onto cardstock. Then I die cut each label.

The labels are affixed with the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable. This means I can move and re-stick my labels whenever I need. But don’t be fooled, these labels stay in place firmly until you want to move them, and then re-stick without additional adhesive.

How about embellishing your labels with cute little flowers? You can easily affix them with 3D Foam Squares White Small Size. Customize your craft space decor and stay organized – that’s the beauty of this idea 🙂

Now that all my boxes are labeled, it will definitely save me some time when crafting. Perhaps I should label my kids’ cupboards and they might put their stuff away! One can always wish! LOL!!

Thank you for stopping by today and don’t forget to check out the brilliant products on the website.

Baby Love Card using 3D Foam Stars

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Hey there everyone! Latrice here today with a baby girl themed card for you. Today I was set on creating a simple card with 3D Foam Stars, patterned paper and a die cut. It seems like lately everyone is having babies around me. This mommy is all done, but it’s so fun to make cards for all my expecting friends.

First off I gathered the adhesives I wanted to use. I chose the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser, HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen, 3D Foam Stars and the Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White. I then chose a couple pink glitters for fun.

To give those stars some shimmer and to WEAR YOUR ADHESIVES ON THE OUTSIDE, peel the liner from one side off and press glitter into that exposed side. I did a couple in each shade of pink.

Next I chose some paper and cut those pieces down to the desired thickness. I trimmed any excess off after adhering them down with my E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser and the Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White.

After getting all that paper down I then adhered the die cut using the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen and finished the card off with the stars and some twine.
