Thank You Notebook with Extreme Double-Sided Tape

Posted on May 25, 2017 by Erica Houghton

Hello there! It’s Erica here today to share a ‘thank you’ notebook featuring Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

With the end of the school year drawing near you may find yourself shopping for the perfect end-of-the-year teacher gift. How about a pretty, handmade gift to say ‘thank you’?

Thank You Notebook by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started by altering a 4 x 6″ brag book. It was originally an album and I removed the page protectors.

Next I cut a 4.5 x 6.5″ rectangle from pattern paper and adhered it to the front of the album using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″.

To decorate the front I started by adhering two tags to the front of the album using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″.

On one of the tag I stamped ‘thank you’.

Finally, using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ I adhered more pattern paper, flowers, and flair. I adhered a ‘to-do list’ notepad inside the album to create a notebook and then added a colorful pen to complete the project!

Here are a few close-ups:

Posted on May 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun shaped camper card!

Road Trip Camper Card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Camper Card

To cut the camper shape, I used my Silhouette. Depth was added to the windows and door using Crafty Foam Tape White. I wanted to add a bit of sparkle, so I placed a thin layer of glue using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and then sprinkled glitter over it.

Next I added pearls to the pennant using Adhesive Dots Micro. then I adhered the pennants using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini. For the layers of the camper, to make the window pop a bit, I added Crafty Foam Tape White.

Memory Keeping in a Traveller’s Notebook

Posted on May 22, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a new Smash Page in my Traveller’s Notebook using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares Mix White from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

notebook_0

This page is about my love for special sea food from “Gosch” Germany. It’s a native company known for delicious dishes with fish from North Sea.

notebook_1

My first step was to choose some paper scraps, ephemeras and a photo. I adhered a paper base for my photo with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser onto my right page of the Traveller’s Notebook. The I added my photo and some paper scraps and washi tapes on the left page. I added some flowers with the 3D Foam Squares Mix White for decoration and of course my title and journaling.

It’s a fun way to remember those moments. You can also use your scraps and it goes very quickly.

Easy Resist Technique with the Dual Tip Glue Pen

Posted on May 21, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Today I thought I would share a quick and easy resist technique, great for cards or scrapbooking. The good news is, you might even have everything you need for this tutorial is in your craft stash already!

I started with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4 x 5.25 inch. To be honest I had a few of these cut and tried a few different designs. To start, you will want to put a little pressure on the Dual Tip Glue Pen tube to get out any bubbles. Keeping that pressure, you can now start writing or drawing. If you do get any bubbles, you can try popping them with a pin. Now let dry. I let this happen naturally, instead of using a heat gun. You don’t want to move your image.

The image below shows my design with colour. I added dots of Dual Tip Glue Pen at the top and bottom of the card, as well as the sentiment.

Once your image is dry, then you can start the blending process. For this card I wanted the colour to emulate the popsicle summer treat we have all tried at least once. With my trusty blending tool I started at the top with the teal, and the bottom with the pink. Starting at the edges a little darker and blending inward getting lighter.

The dried Dual Tip Glue Pen adhesive resists the ink beautifully. You can use a tissue and wipe off any access ink residue left behind.

Once I finished blending I then added my large silk ribbon bow. I added a little Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/8″ to the back of the cardstock to keep the ribbon in place. I then added 3D Foam Squares White Small to the back and adhered it to my plain cardstock card base. Then I tied my bow in front.

Voila! A sweet and simple card that is sure to brighten spirits.

Hello 6! Scrapbooking Layout with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on May 20, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hi everyone, Jana here with a new project! I had an idea of using one of the Keepsake Envelopes Mix to hide my journaling and to fill it with some random facts about my little one at 6.

hello6-janamccarthy-1a

I love to use my stash of some stickers and chipboard leftovers. With my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser, I layered together pieces and added one of the Keepsake Envelopes Mix as one of my layers – I don’t need to close it (it’s easier to get the cards out)

hello6-janamccarthy-2

I also used some Crafty Foam Tape White behind my photo – just for the upper part of it. Because of all the layers of PL cards and the Keepsake Envelope, I needed a bit of dimension behind it!

Creating a Tag Background with E-Z Squares

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a tag project using E-Z Squares Refillable Dispenser to create a shimmer and sparkly background.

CEmberson - Embossed Tag 1

I selected a general purpose luggage tag and E-Z Squares Refillable Dispenser. NOTE: dispenser is refillable to match ANY of the other E-Z adhesive refills – they are all interchangeable.

I applied the squares vertically but you could design any pattern you wish.

I then applied embossing powder. Tapped off the excess.

Set with a heat gun. I love the metallic look, like little strips of silver metal in a row!

I raided my die cut box, all odd pieces that I cannot throw away!

Began to affix them to my tag using 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.

All the die cuts in place, added a sentiment and gemstones.

Here you can see a little more of that sparkly background.

Always a good idea to have supply of tags to hand, whether you are attaching them to a gift, flowers or a special bottle of something!

“Enjoy” Card using Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello friends! Vicki here today to share with you a fun Enjoy card with a little surprise inside. Who doesn’t love flowers?! Even if you don’t have a green thumb, anyone can toss some seeds in the ground and get a beautiful bounty in return. Since Spring is here, what better time to send a little card. One with a little bit of fun inside.

Enjoy card with flower seeds

I used a smaller Keepsake Envelope to add some flower seeds to the inside of the card. I love that there is a variety of sizes to choose from. This one was the perfect size for my card.

Enjoy card with flower seeds 1

It’s sticky backed, so all I had to do after adding the seeds, is peel of the back and add it to the pink paper I planned to add to the inside of the card.

After I had colored the image for the front of my card and matted it, I added it to the card with Crafty Foam Tape.

Enjoy card with flower seeds 2

I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips for my general adhesive for this card but I really like the dimension using the Crafty Foam Tape under my main image gives my cards.

I’m hoping you feel inspired to send a little bit of Spring to someone special in your life.

Wood Slice Photo Plaques Featuring an Adhesive Sheet Transfer Technique

Posted on May 16, 2017 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here with you today sharing my tutorial for how to transfer photos onto a wood slice. I’m always looking for creative ways to display photos in my home. These wood slice photo plaques are such a fun way to add a rustic accent, with a bit of a modern twist, to any decor. I used 4 x 6″ Adhesive Sheets and a Dual Tip Glue Pen for this project.

Here are my supplies to achieve this fun project…

To view Wood Slice Photo Plaques by Dana Tatar Video, see below.

Step 1: Gather supplies.

Step 2: Remove the yellow liner from the Adhesive Sheet. Place the Adhesive Sheet onto the wood slice, adhesive side down, and press to seal.

Step 3 (Optional): Warm the Adhesive Sheet with a heat tool. Note: I found that a little heat helps transfer the adhesive more completely onto the uneven and rough surface of the wood.

Step 4: Rub and lift the Adhesive Sheet backing liner to transfer the adhesive to the wood slice.

Step 5: Press the wood slice onto the 5 x 7″ Ink Jet Photo. Press down to seal.

Step 6: Flip the wood slice over so that the photo paper is facing up. Distress the photo paper with sand paper. Note: This distressing technique helps the water soak into the photo paper which is necessary for removal. Scoring the photo paper with scissors also works, but may damage the photo.

Step 7: Spray the photo with water and let soak. Carefully peel off the top layer of photo paper.

Step 8: Again, spray the photo with water and let soak. Carefully rub the wet paper from the photo. Repeat this process until the photo is visible.

Step 9: Tear away the excess photo paper from the wood slice. Note: The wet photo paper is easy to remove with the edge of a fingernail and downward pressure.

Step 10: Apply Dual Tip Glue Pen to the photo and smooth with a finger. Let dry.

Wood Slice Photo Plaques by Dana Tater

I’m displaying my photo plaques on small stands. Try attaching mounting hardware to the back of the wood slice to create a wall hanging or glue on a magnet and stick it to the fridge.

These adhesives, are easy to use, non-toxic, acid free, and wash from hands and clothes with warm water, which makes this a safe project for school-aged children with adult supervision. Photo plaques make a great gift for family, friends, or a special teacher or coach.
