Birthday Scrapbook Layout with my Top 5 Go To Adhesives

Posted on July 30, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Over the years I’ve learned exactly which adhesives I ALWAYS need on hand.  If I have these, I can create any scrapbook layout efficiently and know it won’t fall apart on me. Today I am going to feature my TOP 5 in one multi-photo birthday layout.

Birthday Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer using her top 5 go to adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My Top 5 Favorite Adhesives

My Top 5 are: E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Squares, Adhesive Dots, E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen.

3D Foam Squares are something I use not only on every layout but nearly every card too!  They have great height and stick well!  Size and color options are all available and if the originals are too thick for you they also carry Thin 3D Foam Squares too!

I love the easy use of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. It is ridiculously simple to switch out the cartridges making it easy to use the adhesive that you need.  My go to for those little itty bitty pieces is the E-Z Runner® Micro Dispenser!

I have a process video to share with you that walks you thru how I used each of these adhesives on this layout.  Come have a look below…

Thanks for joining me today here on the Blog!

Simple Things Scene Card with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! It’s Judy here today with a “Simple Things” country scene card with a bit of dimension created with Thin 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Squares. That little pop up really adds depth!

When I first had the idea for this card, I tried out three die sets with white cardstock to see how the shapes looked and fit together. Once I had the design plan, I decided to use the white pieces and color them with markers rather than go hunting for different colors of cardstock. I was being a bit lazy (wink)! I really like the look, it fits my style!

To assemble the scene, I glued the fence to the hill with HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen.  Just add tiny drops of glue to the fence posts and press it in place. I also used it to assemble the mail box pieces.

The landscape hill is fastened to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for dimension but not too much pop.

I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue mail box post to landscape and 3D Foam Squares Black Small behind the mail box for interest.

Cut a smaller piece of 3D Foam Squares Black Small to fit behind the tiny bird.   The bare trees are glued in place with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix was used at bottom of evergreen tree because it’s layered over the landscape which is already popped up. I used 3D Foam Squares Black Small at the top for a little more thickness.

I assembled the scene to mats and then to a Kraft card with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Lastly, I added the stamped verse popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

I had fun with this card!  I hope you enjoy it, too!  Thank you for visiting!

Baby Shaker Card using Crafty Power Tape

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello Everyone! Today I thought I’d show you how I put together this special baby card that I created for my new great niece.

There are many different ways to go about making a shaker card, but I’m going to show you how I made this one with the protective covering dis-guarded from some other craft product packaging. I’m sure if you look thru your craft supplies you might find these in many different sizes. I wanted one that was fairly large to fit my entire image inside.

I traced the size of the plastic onto the front of my card, making sure it was centered. I then cut it out from the front of the card with my craft knife. I lined the inside of the front of the card with Crafty Power Tape.

The lip of the plastic then set inside. The tape holding it tight in place.

I cut a back for the inside of the front of the card centering  my image on it. I made this the same size as the front of the card. I sprinkled some sequins into the clear piece and then covered it with the piece with the image by using my E-Z Runner® Grand (making sure I added the adhesive close to the edge of the plastic piece to hold the sequins inside).

I also used my E-Z Runner® Grand for all the rest of my pieces to create my card.

To give dimension to the cut out flower pieces I used Thin 3D Foam Squares. I wanted to add some of these cute butterflies from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes, so I added some gold glitter to pull in the gold from the sequins.

I then dressed it up with a vintage button and a charm by added them with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium

I’m so excited to meet my new Great Niece!

Daily Grind – A Layered Circle Card

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

Circle shaped, coffee themed card by Latisha Yoast

 

Hello Friends, it’s Latisha here.  I love coffee, and most everyone I know does as well. When I saw these die cuts, I knew I had to create with them. Let me show you how I made the circle shaped card.

Start by die cutting 2 circle shapes using white card stock. Then, with the back piece, score a line about an inch down from the top, and apply adhesive above the score line.  I like to use HomeHobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in, it is permanent and very strong. Perfect for a shaped card.

 

 

Once the card base is put together, adhere pattern paper to the front using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then add the die cuts also using the 3D Foam Squares.

 

To finish tie a bow with twine and adhere using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.

Shaker Cards and Crafty Foam Tape!

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun little shaker card!  I stamped my image and colored it with Copic markers and Prisma Colored Pencils.  I double cut it with a die cut.

I adhered the acetate behind the “window” using E-Z Squares® Refillable. I popped it up using Crafty Foam Tape. (LOVE This stuff!) While it was still upside down, I added my sequins and seed beads and then added my back panel.

The shaker portion was attached to the plaid paper and the orange card using the Crafty Foam Tape again.  (I love dimension on my cards!)  I tied a skinny satin ribbon at the top.  I secured the knot with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.  I thought it would be fun to add mini pom poms to the center! I adhered those with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to be sure they didn’t budge!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great week!

Wonderful Scrapbook Page Layered in 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a scrapbooking page with a fun little part of layering for which I used the 3D Foam Squares Mix – White and the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Micro Refill inside.

I also have a little tutorial for you.

1. Collect paper scraps and washi tapes that match my photo.

2. Layer paper scraps under my photo and secure them with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Micro Refill inside. I couldn’t find my Micro Dispenser BUT lucky that all my E-Z Runner Refillable Dispensers are interchangeable with other E-Z Runner Refills! Great, isn’t it?! And worth a mention 🙂

3. BTW the E-Z Runner® Micro Refill is perfect to adhere all those small scraps.

4. This is my finished layering part. I layered 8-10 paper scraps behind the photo.

5. Next to prepare my background. I used a watercolor paper with acrylic paints and stamps. I painted the background light blue and made some marks in other colors. Then I stamped the flower stamp (from Hero Arts).

6. I adhered two little stripes of washi tape.

7. Then position the photo and adhered it with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser

8. Add finishing touches with other tapes and stickers.

9. Lastly, I adhered a die cut with 3D Foam Squares Mix – White

Thanks for visiting us today! Have a great weekend!

Ruffle Border Tutorial with Extreme Double-Sided Tape

Posted on July 21, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey crafty friends! Tracy McLennon here with a fun little tutorial using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ and my favourite go to embellishment, ribbon. I thought I would create a glitzy layout perfect for fancy prom photos or even a wedding photo. Here is all you need to know.

Here are the basics of what I started with to create my layout, paired with the Yes Please Collection from My Mind’s Eye.

This ruffle ribbon border is SO easy to do, and can be done with all sorts of ribbon, lace and trim. Once I had the base of my layout created, I adhered a strip of my Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/8″ across the entire layout. I also added a small piece of the same adhesive on the back side of my layout on both sides of the strip that you laid down for the border. Remove the adhesive covering from one of the strips on the back side and attach your piece of ribbon.

Flip to the front side and remove the adhesive covering from the long strip across your layout. Then I simply took the ribbon and tapped it onto the adhesive in a tight ruffle pattern. If you see your ruffle is going off kilter…not a problem, just pull the ribbon up and re-ruffle.

I added a second strip of the Extreme Double-Sided Tape on top of the ruffle I just created to add the sequins trim.

My ribbon ruffle is pretty thick, so when it came to attaching my matted photo I used my Crafty Foam Tape. I actually doubled it, 2 layers of the foam tape at the top and bottom on my photo. Another classic looking favourite of mine are Creative Photo Corners.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beach Babe | Self-Laminating Tag on a Scrapbook Layout

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hello everyone, Jana here with a fun new layout using something fun – Self-Laminating Tags with Loops. This project is about my little boy when he was 4 and having a very great time on the beach.

I tried something new so I chose the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops and OH MY, I am totally in love how this turned out! The color from the tag is so perfect for this page!

Sometimes you don’t know what to use and then you have an idea that pops into your mind…I am so happy about this one! I also added some texture with some 3D Foam Party Shapes! I used sand…a nice detail and it’s sticky enough!

I used 3D Foam Squares and my favorite Crafty Foam Tape for dimension. For this Project I also used the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser

There is also a little Process Video for you to watch

Christmas in July Made Simple with Extreme Double-Sided Tape

Posted on July 19, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Christmas in July project.  Every year I tell myself to start my Christmas ‘makes’ earlier, and this year I may have just listened! I’m making these adorable little bags to fill with gift vouchers/cards.

Christmas in July by Christine Emberson

Let’s Get Started!

The bag is two die cuts.  To ensure they stay affixed I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.  This is permanent and really strong. The red vinyl backing is easy to remove.

The decoration for the front of the bag is layered die cuts. Simply affix them with 3D Foam Squares White Small and 3D Foam Squares White Regular.  These magical squares come in a mixed pack too!

All ready for Christmas with the decoration in place and the little printed sentiment embellishment.

Now I just need to make a dozen more…

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