“Enjoy the Ride” Card with Crafty Power Tape, Foam Shapes and Glitter

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello everyone! It’s Vicki here today and I thought I would share with you how you can easily add a little sparkle to your cards with 3D Foam Shapes, Crafty Power Tape and a little glitter- a technique we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Enjoy the Ride Card square - add sparkle to adhesives

With just a couple simple additions, you can turn a cute card into a “Wow” card. First of all I love adding some dimension so after cutting my heart and flower out, I added them to my card with Crafty Foam Tape. I use this on almost all my cards, because I just love the way it makes the focal piece stand off the page a bit.

Now, for the sparkle! I added a accent strip of glitter down the right side of the card simply by adding a strip of Crafty Power Tape to the main image piece and sprinkling a little glitter over it. It’s like making your own sparkle washi tape.

While you have your glitter out, it’s a great time to add a little to some 3D Foam Shapes to use as embellishments on your card. I thought the butterfly and flower from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes would be perfect for this card.

Just like that, your 3D Foam piece is ready to add to your card. Since they are sticky on both sides, not additional adhesive it needed.

Creating Dimensional Hippity Hop Easter Card

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Easter Greetings to you all! Margie Higuchi, here to share this sweet Easter card full of dimension using 3D Foam Squares and adhered with a combination of E-Z Runner® Grand and Adhesive Dots Micro to showcase an adorable dimensional bunny image. I’ve added layers of Spellbinders® die cuts and My Mind’s Eye patterned papers to finish the look.

Creating Dimensional Hippity Hop Easter Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Color the Dimensional Bunny

Let’s start by stamping the bunny in the Vintage Easter stamp set with black ink. Color the bunny with watercolor pencils. I used pink for tender areas of the bunny and then layered with brown color. After I achieved my look, I fussy cut the bunny.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step2

I outlined the edges of the bunny with black watercolor pencil. Note the difference between the right (edged with black watercolor pencil) and the left (without the edging).

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step3

Stamped my sentiment onto patterned paper with black ink, using a stamp positioning tool.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step4

Make Card Layers

With the bunny shape as a guide, I was able to determine where to place my Spellbinders oval die template. To frame the oval shape, I used a Scalloped Oval. Now to cut and emboss with my die-cutting and embossing machine.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step5

The bunny popped up with dimension with 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix. Some I cut in half to fit around its ears and feet! Place it on top of the oval die cut.

The scalloped oval and oval die cuts were adhered together with E-Z Runner® Grand.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step7

I also stamped a sentiment and egg accent design inside the card to make it more personal.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step8

The sweet floral trim was secured with Adhesive Dots Micro in each center of the flower and placed it across toward the bottom of the card front. Then added a mini self-adhesive pearl on each exposed flower center.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step9

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step10

Lastly I added a combination of Regular and Small sizes from 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix to the back of the matted bunny oval (leave room for the trim). Center onto card front and you’re done!

Your Special Day Wedding Ensemble Using Foil

Posted on April 15, 2017 by AJ Otto

It’s your special day!!! AJ here with a little tip on how to create cute little custom embellishments, using our 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil.

I added several accents to this ensemble adding a little sparkle to it with our new 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil.

To add foil accents to your projects, Adhere a strip of our Premium Double-Sided Tape in 1/8″ and remove the backing.

Lay your foil over the adhesive, color side up and burnish with a bone folder and repeat for however many stripes you want.

You can also do the same with wood clothespins.

Again, using the same sized adhesive- place the adhesive on your clothespin, and gently burnish the tape into the wood first. You will then remove the backing, and place onto the foil and press down gently.

When you are done, you have fun little agents you can use on your projects!

I adhered the square using the E-Z Runner® Grand and the middle piece using 3D Foam Squares. To finish, add sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro.

This ensemble is perfect for weddings, birthdays and even Mother’s Day!

See more wedding cards and ideas on the blog!

Enjoy!
AJ

Rain or Shine Spring Layout with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Hello everyone! Spring is finally here in the Chicago area! It’s been very back and forth with cold rain and sunshine so I couldn’t think of a more perfect layout to create and share than my rain or shine layout using 3D Foam Squares White Small, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and the Home Hobby Dual Tip Glue Pen. I mixed in lots of pattern, a little machine stitching and lots of sweet Spring embellishments. Here’s how I created it.

LatriceMurphy-Rainorshine-1

Like always I started with a sketch. I even made a bonus card sing my scraps from this layout. Check out the sketch first.

9B6826A8-2917-40BE-8194-E7BFCADD128B

I started with the background and chose two similar, but different enough Spring prints and cut those to 6″ wide. Next layered those with both white and red cardstock as a nice base for two 4×6 photos. Using theE-Z Runner® Permanent Strips makes layering quick and easy.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-2

I loved how the wood veneer matched the patterned paper so I added a few of those on the opposite side so all the umbrellas weren’t on the same side of the layout. The HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen is the best adhesive for these pieces as well as the sequins you see sprinkled around the page.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-3

To finish the page off I mixed hand written journaling with a card that had a quote I loved on it. Here is where I used my most favorite adhesive the 3D Foam Squares White Small. I placed them under the card to add the much needed dimension to the layout. You can also see that I used these in the above photo to raise my little smiley face, clouds and “just be you” tag.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-4

I hope the sunshine decides to stick around so the photographer mommy can get in some much needed sessions and playtime.

Bonus card:

I used left over cardstock, tags, sequins and the other side of the patterned paper to create this sweet Hello Spring card. This way I don’t have scraps to store and now I have the perfect card to send to a friend this Spring.

CDF86ECF-CFA3-42FF-BBD7-E8F71B41A0FA

I used 3D Foam Squares White Small, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen to layer the tags with sequins and to really make the flower pop from the card front. I love the simplicity and bold colors on this one. Don’t think you’re a card maker? Try using those scraps for something fun next time.

Hope this gets you in the Spring crafting spirit. See you soon!

Join Us for Altenew 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop

Posted on April 12, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

We are celebrating Altenew’s third anniversary by participating in their fabulous blog hop! Using both Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Altenew products, our Designer Latisha Yoast created a couple of stunning thank you cards to inspire you with. Congratulations to our friends at Altenew!!

Hello friends, Latisha here with a few projects using a few stamp set from the amazing Altenew.

Thanks Card

For my first card, I used the Garden Hydrangea Stamp set, this set is a multi layered stamp set. What that means is you can achieve a dimensional flower with depth, using different colors of ink, for each layer.

I stamped the hydrangea with assorted red and pink inks, cut it out and set it aside. I did the same with two leaf images with green ink. Using the outside layer of the hydrangea and red ink, I stamped the image several times onto a white card stock panel to create a background. In black ink, I stamped the sentiment. Using Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4 inch, I adhered glitter to the bottom of the card. The panel was adhered to the card front using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular, as well as the hydrangea and leave. With a single Adhesive Dot Small, the ribbon was adhered and finished off the card.

Altenew Blog Hop April 2017 Thanks Card by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thank You Card

For my next card, I used the Faithful Feather Stamp Set. It also has beautiful feathers, that have several elements to create beautiful feathers. These two stamp sets have similar fonts, so I kept with the Thank You theme.

First I started with the aqua feather, and created it using the different stamp elements and ink colors. Then I stamped it again on a separate sheet of paper, cut it out and used it as mask. To keep the mask in place, I applied E-Z Dots Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Once I was finished stamping the feathers, I stamped the sentiment in black ink. Glitter was applied to the card using a strip of the Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4 inch. The white panel was adhered to the card front using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular. Ribbon and the sequins were adhered to the card using Adhesive Dots Small.

Golden Wedding Layout Tutorial

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey there! It’s Tracy here, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L® design team. Today I have a classic styled Golden Wedding layout featuring some of my go-to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

Golden Wedding Layout with 3D Foam Hearts Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Golden Wedding Details of a Layout

I love a little shine. But because this was a wedding layout, I thought I could take the shine to the extreme. When I start a project I like to gather the things I want to use, it makes me a little more efficient and restricts those crafty moments of distraction.

What are my go-to products? My “Must List” consists of my E-Z Runner® Grand, 3D Foam Squares (and lots of them), Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack (my personal addiction right now) and the new guy to my list, 3D Foam Shapes.

My layout is made up of lots of layers and multiple types of product. But no matter what, the 3D Foam and E-Z Runner® adhesive brings it all together.

After adding an acetate layer to my cardstock base, I added these strips of gold cardstock cut with mitered corners.

Creating Dimension

If you have ever wanted to add dimension with a layer of acetate, well this is the product and tip for you. I used my 3D Foam Hearts. It’s 3D foam adhesive and embellishment all rolled into one. It’s the adhesive you don’t mind seeing through the acetate.

My layouts always consist of layers, layers and more layers. I go through an exceptional amount of 3D Foam Squares when I create. My other obsession is Creative Photo Corners. On my Golden Wedding Layout I used both white and gold photo corners, which makes the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack just perfect.

I used the Gold Creative Photo Corners on my photo. White Creative Photo Corners were added on the black cardstock layer of my background.

Easter Chicks and My Obsession with Crafty Foam Tape!

Posted on April 10, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Are you familiar with our Crafty Foam Tape? It is my ABSOLUTE favorite adhesive product! I think it will be yours too as I share this fun Easter card.

Good morning! Michele here and I seriously have an obsession problem with this wonderful adhesive! LOL! I add it to Every. Single. Project! I just love how easy it is to add dimension to an otherwise simple card.

Easter Chicks and My Obsession with Crafty Foam Tape by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Crafty Foam Tape Usage

I colored in my little chicks with Copics and adhered to a sparkly water colored circle with, yep you guessed it, Crafty Foam Tape! It was also used to attach that to a strip of plaid paper and then to the card base. I’m telling you I can’t get enough of this stuff! LOL! The flower and sequins were attached with Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Mini.

Creating Photo Memories in Traveler’s Notebook

Posted on April 8, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today. I want to show you a Scrapbook Page in my Traveler’s Notebook. I used E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Stephanie_Notebook_1

Here you can take a look over my shoulder how I created the page.

Stephanie_Notebook_2

My first step was to choose some paper scraps and a photo and I adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser onto my pages.

Stephanie_Notebook_3

I added my journaling (printed out), some stickers and more paper scraps to fill out the space.

Stephanie_Notebook_4

After stamping some words and phrases I removed some stickers I didn’t like and added other here and there. You can also see some glittering 3D Foam Squares Mix White on my left page.

Stephanie_Notebook_5

It’s a quick and easy way to use paper scraps and to keep your memories.

Stephanie_Notebook_6

Here is another page in my Traveler’s Notebook. I had fun and love the colorful pages.

Thanks for visiting me today!
