Recycling and Decorating Jars Made Easy with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Posted on June 19, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Today is a beautiful day for recycling and decorating jars to bring nature into our homes! Hi everyone, Christine here today with a home decor project idea.

There’s something very natural and pretty about re-using a jar and filling it with flowers. It can be made even better by adding just a few decorations. Today I’m using Crafty Power Tape, Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″, 3D Foam Square White Regular and MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Recycling and Decorating Jars

I started by cutting a strip of cotton (I didn’t worry that it needed ironing – adds to the natural look! LOL!) I applied two lines of Crafty Power Tape.

Easy to remove the backing from this tape and wrap around the jar, it affixes perfectly.

To adhere the textured ribbon I selected Extreme Double-Sided Tape, 1/4″ Permanent. This is extremely tacky and ideal for so many surfaces.

For an additional decoration piece, I chose a mini wooden heart and to keep it in place I used 3D Foam Square, White Regular. Perfect!

I chose to decorate a second jar, again with cotton and this time a die cut heart affixed with MyStik® Permanent Strips. You can decorate as little or as much as you wish, it’s fun to put your personal stamp on a plain jar.

The finished jars with some flowers from the garden.

Perhaps place them on garden tables if you are having a barbecue or on your kitchen window sill to bring the garden into your home.

DAD ATC Card with Adhesive Sheets + More!

Posted on June 18, 2017 by Margie Higuchi

Today is Father’s Day and although mine is not with me, I am always happy to CELEBRATE HIM 🙂 A card wouldn’t do so I decided on an ATC (Artist Trading Card) using mostly Adhesive Sheets to put it all together.

DAD ATC by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Instructions:

Cut patterned paper into a custom ATC size (4.0 x 2.875 inches). Normally they are 3.5 x 2.5 inch – I like to be different 😉
Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ on the back of patterned paper and copper + white foil paper. See video at the end of instruction on the how to.
Die-cut patterned paper with alpha dies to spell out “DAD.”
Die-cut copper and white foil paper with gears steel rule die.
Adhere to the ATC as shown in photo. Excess can either be cut or dust talcum powder to alleviate the stickiness.
Add metal gear piece with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D (the exposed area will be covered by a photo).
Color copy a photo and cut to 1.625 x 2.125 inches. Adhere with E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. The vintage photo is of my dad as a Japanese high schooler 🙂
Punch a hole with a paper piercer in the ATC and add metal embellishment with matching brad.

Patriotic Home Décor Tutorial

Posted on June 16, 2017 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today with another off-the-page project for my Guest Design term. The summer months covers patriotic holidays in the US such as Memorial Day, Flag Day and 4th of July. These occasions are often celebratory in nature, and I enjoy gathering with friends and family, decorating, sharing a meal, and all the entertainment that goes with it. I had a lot of fun adding stars and stripes to a hand grater to create a rustic décor piece that I will be able to display several times a year.

Patriotic Stars and Stripes home decor tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used an ink formulated to color metal to apply red, white, and blue sections of color to a grater. (Any paint or ink that will adhere to metal will work great here!) Once the ink was dry, I applied E-Z Runner® Stars (3D Foam Stars would work great!) to the blue portion of the grater. After the stars were in place, I sprinkled them with shimmery glitter.

Next, I hung the grater and filled the inside with white fabric flowers and a flag. I applied Adhesive Lines to the flower stems and the flag pole to secure the embellishments to the sides of the grater.

For me, the American flag is a symbol of pride, but also serves as a great reminder to pause and give thanks to those who have made sacrifices to secure our freedoms. I want to give special thanks to my fellow military families and friends for their service.

Weaved Nautical Father’s Day Card using 3D Foam Squares

Posted on June 14, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Father’s Day is fast approaching. Today I’m creating a clean and simple (CAS) card with dimension using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular, perfect for the dad who loves the ocean or lives by water – a fisherman, swimmer or lake house loving guy. Authentique Papers Seafarer Collection is just what is needed. Here’s a look at my finished card.

I have my material out on the table ready to use, along with 3D Foam Squares White, Regular and my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to put it all together.

First, I wove part of the background. I chose two coordinating patterned papers and used a little bit of adhesive to hold the edges in place as more and more strips were added. The E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser makes this easy with its thin strips. When finished, I trimmed off the excess hanging over the edge of the card.

To adhere the cardstock stickers, I used 3D Foam Squares White, Regular. They add a little bit on dimension to this card front and can be easily mailed.

To finish, some natural burlap string in a fun knot was added as well as the word “Dad” in letter stickers.

You can use this basket weave application on any style of card. It’s also a great way to use up scraps in your stash or if you’re not a stamper. Go get crafty!

I hope all of you enjoy Father’s Day with the men in your lives. I also want to shout out to any single moms playing both roles. Thanks for stopping in today.

Thinking of You Card using 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Guest Blogger

Hi all! Angel here again and sadly, it’s my last day as a guest designer here on the fabulous Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® blog. My card today features the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit using a new stamp and matching dies set to create this beautiful card. Let me show you how…

After the flower image was stamped, colored and die-cut (I did a few), I laid them out over my card base to get an idea of where I wanted to adhere them and also to see where the sentiment would look best.

I love the 3D Foam Creative Sheet in the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit – it’s the perfect thickness to add dimension but not too much bulk. I cut it down to the sizes I needed and adhered them to the backs of the flowers.

Before placing the die cuts down, I stamped the same flower image onto the card base for extra interest and then the sentiment.

Once they were all adhered to the card base, I trimmed off the excess that were hanging over.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And THANK YOU to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for having me as a guest designer!!! 🙂

Hugs,
Angel

Colourful Wreath Layout Using My E-Z Runner Dispenser

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey there! Tracy McLennon here sharing a sweet Colourful Wreath Layout I created with just a few of my faves from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Here are my trusty side kicks for most of my layouts that I create. 3D Foam Squares Black Regular E-Z Runner® Permanent and Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

The E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips is perfect for adhering smaller pieces like these leaves. I added adhesive just to the base of each leaf allowing the tips to naturally lift a little.

My go to adhesive for buttons are my Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini and as always I popped my photo using 3D Foam Squares Black Regular.

Thanks for stopping by and get crafting!

Watercolors, Dodz, and Crafty Foam Tape!

Posted on June 10, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Good morning friends! Michele here with a water colored card full of die cuts, texture paste and gold embossing powder! And of course no card would be complete without the right adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®! For the background, texture paste spread through a wood grain stencil and sprinkled with gold embossing powder provides a pretty backdrop. Love it!

Next I water colored the flower with water colors and added a few details with a white gel pen. The flowers and leaves were adhered with varying amounts of Crafty Foam Tape. One layer of tape on the small flower and the larger flower has two layers.

Sequins were adhered using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini. They are so much easier to use than drippy, messy glue!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Happy Wedding Card using Adhesive Dots and 3D Foam Squares

Posted on June 9, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Happy weekend! I’ve got the privilege of attending a wedding this weekend so I decided to create a card to give the happy couple. Although as you’ll see the card does not have to be for a wedding…it could work for several themes!

Happy Wedding Card using Adhesive Dots and 3D Foam Squares by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

In order to add a variety of techniques and elements to this I needed to utilize multiple adhesives.

Happy Card Making!

The E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser has quickly become an absolute favorite for me. It’s perfect for all your normal adhering, loads easily, and is sturdy. I used it to add my first two layers of patterned papers to the card base.

Next I used Thin 3D Foam Squares to pop up the petals on my card. I used a craft knife to cut those up and the squares ensure they will stay up even after getting smashed in an envelope.

Sequins can be a headache to attach. But Adhesive Dots Micro ensure a headache won’t hit! I used these to attach all my sequins and I also like to use them with other small embellishments like wood veneer and buttons.

Having a good adhesive on hand can make a project so much easier – be sure to check out all the adhesives that we have available!

Scrapbook Page with My Favorite E-Z-Dots Refillable and 3D Foam Squares Mix

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a scrapbooking page for which I used my favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares Mix White. Let me show you a little tutorial.

The 3D Foam Squares Mix White and the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® are my most used adhesives. I use them for scrapbooking, cardmaking and my Traveller’s Notebooks almost every day.

1 – My first step to create a scrapbooking page is to collect all papers I want to use. It goes quickly when I use a collection with matching sticker or die cuts. I adhere my base with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
2 – Then I’m looking for matching diecuts and washi tapes.
3 – If I’m satisfied I’m adding my photo, sometimes with another background. I love to create a dimension look.
4 – I’m adhereing some diecuts with 3D Foam Squares Mix – White to give them a more 3D look.

5 – At the end I_m adding my title.
6 – Sometimes I see a space and adding some elements. On this I painted some leaves with watercolor, cut it out and adding the branch with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. It’s perfect because it only adds adhesives (tiny little dots) on the paper where I need it.
7 – Then I’m adding my journaling.
8 – Finished

It’s a early summer page about the 1st of June, the International Children’s Day. We spent the afternoon at the dunes and did a picnic and they loved it.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a great day!
Stephanie

Watercolor Dots Card with E-Z Dots Repositionable

Posted on June 7, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! I have a technique to share using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser and watercolors to make a watercolor dots card. This card has an abstract and kind of funky background! Let your imagination run wild with this technique!

As you can see my background is pretty abstract and funky!

How to Use E-Z Dots Repositionable as a Mask

First, I placed my E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refill in my E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser (All the E-Z Runner refills can be used in any of the E-Z Runner Refillable dispensers). I used it to apply wavy lines of adhesive over a piece of mixed media paper. I chose that paper because it handles moisture well. Watercolor paper could also be used. I placed it on scrap paper so I could run the adhesive off the edge. The E-Z Dots are being used as a mask, not as an adhesive!

Then I brushed on watercolor, starting with blue.

Then added yellow…..

and rusty orange…

I dried it with a heat gun and then rubbed off the E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive with my finger. Just a gently swirl removes the dots to reveal the white paper.

Replace the E-Z Runner Ultra refill into the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser and use it to fasten it to a white card.

Stamp the verse with black ink on white cardstock. After I cut out the pieces, I brushed rusty orange watercolor along the edges. The verse pieces were fastened with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. The narrow adhesive line is perfect for small pieces!

To finish the card, I added black accent lines at edges of the verse pieces with Neon Amplify! Simple card design with fun background!

Here are 2 cards with plaid looking backgrounds using the same technique.

I challenge you to have fun with this technique!

Happy creating!
