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

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

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!

Darling Girl Mini Album with E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser

Are you ready for another week of inspiration? Let’s kick Monday off with a darling, girlie mini album by Erica featuring the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser, Adhesive Dots Mini and 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Darling Girl Mini Album by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I adhered each sheet of pattern paper, the journaling cards and smaller paper embellishments using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. Next, I adhered the star and heart embellishments and titles using Adhesive Dots Mini. Finally, to ensure my photographs are the focal point I adhered the cream photo mats using 3D Foam Creative Sheets. These sheets give the perfect amount of dimension so your layout is not bulky.

Father’s Day Photo Flip Book with Keepsake Envelopes

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here with you today sharing a quick tutorial for how to put together a fun photo flip book using Keepsake Envelopes. These clear self-adhesive envelopes are a great way to store, protect, and display photographs.

Unlike the photo sleeves commonly found in wallets, these envelopes won’t yellow over time. The acrylic-based envelopes are also tear-resistant so they’ll stand up to frequent handling for years to come!

Step 1: Cut photographs to fit inside Keepsake Envelopes. Remove the adhesive from the front of each envelope. (I used 4 small (2 x 2 inches) and 2 Large (4.13 x 3.5 inches) Keepsake Envelopes for my book.) Arrange envelopes as shown above: Large Envelope flap down, 2 Small Envelopes flaps up, 2 Small Envelopes flaps down, Large Envelope flap up. Place Adhesive Lines in the center of the flap of each Small Envelope.

Step 2: Remove two Small Envelopes from the backing liner and press together. Repeat for the remaining two Small Envelopes. Remove the protective sheet from the Adhesive Lines on the center of each Small Envelope flap. Insert the Small Envelope flaps into the Large Envelopes behind the photos. Two Small Envelopes fit side by side in one Large Envelope.

Step 3: Tuck the flap of each Large Envelope down behind the photo. Cut pieces of patterned paper slightly larger than the Large Envelopes. Remove the backing liner from a Large Envelope and press the patterned paper onto the self-adhesive back. Repeat for the second envelope. Use a pair of scissors to trim away the overhanging paper from the envelopes. Cut a piece of fabric tape to length and fold over the top of the book to hide the seam.

Step 4: Embellish the front cover of the photo book.

It is so fun to flip through this book! This is a wonderful inexpensive gift for Dad, but this project is easily adaptable for any special person or occasion throughout the year with a change of cover art.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back in a couple weeks sharing a festive home decor piece for the upcoming Independence Day holiday.

Shoot For The Stars Card using 3D Foam Stars

Hi all!  Angel here with some sparkly goodness!  I used the 3D Foam Stars to create my own sparkly embellishments by removing the protective backing of one side and pressing it into a pile of glitter until it was completely covered.

After sponging my background layer, I adhered the three glittered foam stars.

I doubled up on the 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular on the tail end of the sentiment flag to really give it a ‘flying’ effect.  I used the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the other end of the sentiment flag under the edge of the star.  I used it to adhere the main layers to the card base, as well.  The ‘Stars’ sentiment was embossed with black embossing powder.

Easy Happy Birthday Place Card Created with Adhesive Sheets

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a pop up Happy Birthday place card.  You could adorn a birthday table with these or affix to a gift box, either way they are simple to make with Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ and add a lovely touch to festivities.

CEmberson - Happy Birthday Placecard

I first selected an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″. Lifted the yellow release paper and placed my spotty patterned paper inside.

CEmberson - Happy Birthday Placecard 1

I smoothed it back down and positioned my die. Run this through my die cutting machine

CEmberson - Happy Birthday Placecard 2

I peeled away the backing to reveal that the adhesive from the sheet has transferred onto the back of my die cut.

Because this was a place card and it needed to stand, I cut two.  They affix together perfectly because the adhesive is already in place, no messy glue!

CEmberson - Happy Birthday Placecard 3

I die cut some flowers to decorate the place card.

CEmberson - Happy Birthday Placecard 5

I assembled the flowers, positioned some mini stamens to the middle.  Everything held in place on the reverse with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

Summer Vacation Layout with E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser

Latrice here today with a summer vacation layout as we wind down to a couple of school days in Illinois. I am busy prepping activities for my three kids to stay busy from swimming, soccer, dance and such. No big vacation planned this time like last year’s (their first) cruise to the Bahamas. I wanted to scrapbook a few of my favorite photos from that trip of my daughter. She really soaked it all in and enjoyed herself. Learning about the culture really sparked something inside her. Here is the 12 x 12″ page I’ve created using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser and a couple of the Dodz Adhesive Dots.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-6

I always try to get multiple photos on a page so I printed the images a little smaller at 4 x 4″ to get three photos on there vertically. To add more pictures without really filling up the page, you can print 3 x 3″ or 2 x 2″. How about trying those Fuji Instax pictures?

I used Paradise Found Beach Collection from Paper House Productions, as well as some coordinating cardstock I found from other companies in my stash.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-1

I chose a little beach paper, the gorgeous gold seashell overlay and a bracket shaped piece of cardstock to create my background.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-3

I love layers, but I do keep them simple. I ended up moving the kraft bracket cardstock over once the photos were added. Below you can see the Dodz Adhesive Dots are perfect to adhere the overlay piece because they are clear and double-sided. I used the Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-2

I also use one of the Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin to hold a knot in place.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-4

Sometime I love using the Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D to raise up cards and such. They are sturdy and keep things in place perfectly. I just place one on each corner of the 3 x 4″ card.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-5

To finish the layout I added some letter stickers and more items from the Paper House Productions kit for my title, some hand written journaling and machine stitching.

LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-7 LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-8 LatriceMurphy-Vacation Layout-9

Can’t wait to snap some summer photos for this year. We still have one more day of school left! Kids are hanging in there.

Beach Day Scrapbook Layout featuring Creative Photo Corners

With the unofficial start of summer well under way, it seemed time to dive into some beach photos and capture those memories on a scrapbook layout. It’s Christine, joining you today to showcase how I use a wide variety of adhesives on a layout.

Beach Day crapbook Layout & Tutorial by Christine  Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Beach Day Layout

I love how a layout comes together when you combine a variety of adhesives.  My first go to the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.  I use this ALL the time for just simple things like matting my photos.

ChristineMeyer-BeachDay4

Then comes adding dimension.  A lot of the stickers I was working with already had dimension so I knew I needed to add it to my title.  But I didn’t want too much dimension – because I thought that would just make things too bulky.  Here’s the answer to that dilemma: Thin 3D Foam Squares!

ChristineMeyer-BeachDay5

These were absolutely perfect because they are thinner – 1 mm -than other foam adhesives, which are 2mm.  They added just enough to make things work!

ChristineMeyer-BeachDay7

Working with a sand color left me craving a little more for my photographs.  I knew i didn’t want to mat them further and I knew i didn’t want to add stickers.  In come the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack to jazz things up!

ChristineMeyer-BeachDay6

There are several color options and this kraft color was a great match for my sandy background!

ChristineMeyer-BeachDay3

So there you have it, all the adhesives you need to create a basic layout!  Although let’s be honest there’s about a dozen more that you need for all the other embellishments and products out there right!?!

Gift Inspiration Cards with Self-Laminating Pouches

Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing some gift inspiration cards that are made with Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Small. I made these as a little gift to tuck in a graduation card.  I also made simple coordinating graduate cards.  I had so much fun putting these together that I plan to make a few for other occasions.

JudyHayes_LaminatedInspirationCards_Main1

Here you can see one side of each of the inspiration cards in front of a coordinating graduate card.  I used a collection of papers and stickers from Bella Blvd™ called Make Your Mark. Fun bright colors!

JudyHayes_LaminatedInspirationCards1

I started by cutting patterned paper to the insert size for Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Small (2¼ x 3½ʺ).  The photo shows the front and back sides. (I made 2 to show both sides at the same time.)  I stamped a verse on one side.  On the other side, I used a verse from the paper collection.  I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to fasten it to the insert paper and added a tiny heart sticker.  The edge is colored with a permanent red marker.

JudyHayes_LaminatedInspirationCards2

When both sides were finished, I placed it in one of Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Small. It’s so easy!  Place it between the layers, start peeling protective sheet from hinge side, press and smooth it over the insert.  I rubbed it with my fingers to seal it well.

JudyHayes_LaminatedInspirationCards3

Here are both sides of this inspiration card once laminated.

JudyHayes_LaminatedInspirationCards_Main2b

This photo shows the other side of each of the inspiration cards.

The graduate cards are 3½ x 6¼ʺ and made from white cardstock.  I fastened a patterned paper to front of each one using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. The greeting is stamped with black ink on white card stock and fastened with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.   Very quick and simple design!

Gift Cookie Jar using Adhesive Sheets

Hello! Vicki here!  I love to bake, and I love to  share baked goodies with friends and family. I also love thrift store and flea market finds, so in this case they all came together.  I recently found this glass container with a lid that caught my eye, ( and was a great price, which is always a bonus).   I baked up some of my famous Chocolate Chip cookies and while they were cooling, I got busy dressing up my container.

Get your happy on cookie jar

When I give someone something homemade I really like to share the recipe with them. I added the recipe and the “Get your Happy on” title to the jar with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″.  The 4 x 6″ size was great for this project. The do such a great job of adhering right to the edge all the way around.

Get your happy on cookie jar recipe

These are great for die cut pieces but are also great for pieces like this, that are being added to something with a curve.

Get your happy on cookie jar 2

It’s a easy way to dress up a jar, or even repurpose a can.

Once I have the paper pieces added, I tied a piece of ribbon around the opening of the jar and added a few flowers. Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable worked great for adding these.

I think I know just who will be getting a little something for their sweet tooth.  I hope this easy to put together container makes them smile.
