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.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to check out all the great products on the website.

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.

These came together quickly and were so fun to make!

I hope I left you inspired to create some yourself.

DIY 3D Foam Foiled Letters on a Halloween Scrapbook Layout

Posted on October 25, 2017 by Dana Tatar

Hello! Dana Tatar here today sharing a scrapbook layout that I created with a photo of my daughters dressed up as Cleopatra and Alice from last Halloween. I am tired of not having all the letters for a title from a store-bought package of alpha stickers, so I die-cut and foiled my own title for this page using 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit!

Halloween Layout with DIY 3D Foam Foiled Letters by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Foiled Letters

The 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit includes both 3D Foam Creative Sheets (4 Pcs) and a selection of colorful craft foil sheets (5 colors!) I had a lot of fun with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique while creating these metallic letters!

I selected two different metal alphabet die sets for my letters that I thought complimented the costumes my daughters were wearing.

How to Die Cut and Foil 3D Foam DIY Letter Stickers by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

After cutting the letters from 3D Foam Creative Sheets from the kit, I affixed them to my layout and pressed the craft foil sheets, color side up, onto the top of the letters. After gently rubbing the foil, I peeled it away to reveal a beautiful metallic finish.

DIY 3D Foam Green Foil Letters by Dana Tatar - Halloween Scrapbok Page

I really love the shimmer from the foiled letters. Shiny gold embellishments on the page complement the gold accents on the costumes. HomeHobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape adheres a line of gold sequins to the layout. Finally, use the E-Z Runner® Grand with Permanent Strips Refill to secure the rest of the elements to the page.

My daughters tell me that clowns and superheroes will be popular this year. They chose to dress up as a cat and an Asian princess. I’d love to know what you and/or your children are wearing for Halloween this year. Leave me note in the comments section!

We are like Snowflakes Card with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on October 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

I really wanted to showcase this gorgeous We are like Snowflakes Mounted Stamp by heat embossing in gold and then layering the card with Crafty Foam Tape for that WOW! factor. Good morning! Michele here with a card using a Quietfire Design stamp. Let me share how I created this winter card.

Creating We are like Snowflakes Card

I die-cut the sentiment and left the die in place to ink a bit of pink around the edges. Set it aside to work on the background by stamping several snowflake stamps and heat embossed them in gold and white. After sponging pink ink around the entire background, layer the sentiment panel over the background using Crafty Foam Tape. Then continue to layer the card panel with white and then pink cardstock, using Crafty Foam Tape.

To embellish the sentiment card panel, I added a cluster of flowers, feathers and ribbon with a few sequins. For the larger flowers, I secured it with Adhesive Dots Medium and Adhesive Dots Micro for the teeny gems.

I colored the snowflake at the top with a pink Copic marker because I wanted to bring a bit more of the pink color in.

Thank you for stopping by today!
