Creating a Dress Box with E-Z Runner Ultra

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Guest Blogger

Hi all! Tami Mayberry here with you today with another project using some of my favorite  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.  For today’s project, I decided to step away from my usual clean and simple card designs and create a fun little box similar to the one I created for Creativation.

I love this little box because it can be used for a variety of “girly” occasions such as bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, birthday parties and more.  Not only that, once you dissect the design you can embellish the dress shape any way you like and use it for cards, scrapbook pages, home décor, etc.

Wedding Ensemble: Guest Book, Card and Dress Form

Posted on February 8, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Have you ever seen such an ensemble for a wedding theme? Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today to showcase this three-piece set that was displayed at Creativations 2017 (now called Assoc. For Creative Industries/AFCI). I  had so much fun creating this wedding set.

Stephanie_CHA_weddingset

Details of my Ensemble

This is a little book for guests to sign at a wedding. The book cover is a vintage style made from Graphic 45 and housed in a little Keepsake Envelope mounted on a mixed media canvas, accented with Pigment Powder Gold in its background. A perfect keepsake for the couple after the wedding!

Stephanie_CHA_weddingset_2

For the card, I wanted to create something dynamic but yet soft as the focal point. So I created a large flower out of Gauze with its center from Canvas Ribbons. Although white, the texture can be seen and makes for an unusual embellishment. To glue the different layers together, I used Art Medium.

Stephanie_CHA_weddingset_3

My dress form is a decorative element and can be used as a centerpiece. I used a combination of Gauze and Canvas Ribbons with a lot of  Art Medium to shape and form my piece. Another wonderful keepsake after the wedding.

Thanks for visiting us today and I hope you enjoyed my ensemble!

Have a great creative day!

Tea Time Tags with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on February 5, 2017 by Erica Houghton

Hi! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a set of tags using the Keepsake Envelopes Mix and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″.

Tea Time Tags with Keepsake Envelopes by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started by tracing a small ivory tag onto three sheets of pattern paper, I then cut the tags out.

  • Tea Time Tags with Keepsake Envelopes by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I rounded the corners and then punched a hole so that I could add a ring to hold them all together.

Next, I adhered three of the small (2 x 2″) envelopes from the Keepsake Envelopes Mix to the front of each tag. The small envelopes were ideal for holding the tea bags.

You’re A Star Shaker Card Tutorial from Creativation 2017

Posted on February 4, 2017 by Margie Higuchi

Hello everyone! I am so excited to share a window shaker card created with Keepsake Envelope Mix as an easy shaker feature. This card was a make and take project during the Creativation 2017 (formerly CHA – Craft & Hobby Assoc.) trade show in Phoenix AZ last month. Let me show how to create this fun interactive card!

Youre A Star Shaker Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To make the card base, die-cut a square on an A2 (4.25 x 5.5 in) size card front to create a window/opening. Stamp banner and sentiment. Color the banner with watercolor pencils. Set aside.

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd A

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd B

To make the shaker feature, cut patterned paper to fit inside a large Keepsake Envelope. Scoop enough sequins to fill the spoon’s bottom and place in front of patterned paper, inside the envelope.

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 1

Take out four sequins to use on the card front later. Take the liner off on the front of envelope and close the flap. Set aside.

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 2

Apply the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser close to the inside edge of the window as possible (to secure in place).

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 4

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 4A

Curl the ends of the Keepsake Envelope liner together to make a “handle” for easy placement over the window. DO NOT REMOVE THE LINER YET – use it to press down the adhesive edges together to secure.

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 5

Add white cardstock panel to cover shaker by applying E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser (you can use your E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips too) on the edges of cardstock. Remove liner of Keepsake Envelope and place white cardstock over to cover the entire back cover of card.

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 5A

Now for the fun part, embellish card front! Pull out the points of largest 3D Foam Star FIRST gently with a tooth pick WITH LINER ON (helps keep its shape). Place on top of the shaker in any way (straight, angle, etc.).

CHA17 500 YouAreAStar ShakerCd 6

Remove the liner from the 3D Foam Star and place the foil shiny side up. Gently burnish into the star with your finger and lift the foil. For the finishing touch, add your sequins to accent the card front with a combination of Adhesive Dots Mini and new Adhesive Dots Micro.

Creating Personalized Notebook with E-Z Runners

Posted on February 2, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a personalized notebook, using mainly E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser and MyStik® Permanent Strips.  I love making these as gifts for my friends (they make great teacher gifts too), not only are they handmade but are speedy to make too!

Personalized Notebook by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I cut a piece of patterned paper for the front cover (a piece from my scrap box) and affixed ribbon across the bottom using E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser.  Because it dispenses such a fine line of adhesive it is perfect for all ribbon and lace widths.

CEmberson - Notebook 2

To affix the front book cover I used MyStik® Permanent Strips, excellent for going around those curved corners.

CEmberson - Notebook 3

For the die cut embellishments, 3D Foam Squares – White, Small fit perfectly on the back and will hold them in place securely.

CEmberson - Notebook 4

The finished decorated notebook, I always carry a notebook with me and to have a pretty decorated one is always nice.

Celebrations Gift Card Holders using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on February 1, 2017 by Amy Tsuruta

Happy February! It’s Amy here with a couple gift card holders that use a balloon die, Adhesive Sheets and gold gilding flakes.

Celebrations Gift Card Holders Tutorial by Amy Tsutura for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pin This!

I was at my local stamp shop over the weekend and saw a project using gilding flakes and was super intrigued by them. The Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ are perfect to use with them. Here’s a peek at some of my supplies:

AmyTsuruta_Celebrate2

I first started by die-cutting all my pieces. For the balloon, I applied Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ on the white foam by removing the liner and placing on the white foam. Next I die-cut the balloon – cuts so well and without residue.

AmyTsuruta_Celebrations2

I put together the gift card envelope first by using my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

AmyTsuruta_Celebrations3

For the front panel of the envelope, I decided to do a bit of fussy cutting. I liked the stitching detail so decided to keep that with my patterned panel.

AmyTsuruta_Celebrations4

Now the fun part! Remove the liner from the balloon die cut and apply the gold gilding flakes. I literally held my breath during this process because those flakes are so light they fly away at the slightest movement.

AmyTsuruta_Celebrations6

Here’s the piece fully covered with the flakes:

AmyTsuruta_Celebrations7

I used my fingers to burnish the flakes into the adhesive foam shape:

I finished off the gift card holders with heat embossed sentiments attached to the holders with 3D Foam Squares Regular and twisted gold twine.

Alter a Heart Bag using Adhesive Dots

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

Hello there, Latisha here.  I am sharing a fun way to alter those bags in the dollar section by using Adhesive Dots to take that drab bag to the next level.

0117LY_heartbag1

First I grabbed a jar of buttons that was collecting dust, and just started adhere the buttons using Adhesive Dots Medium until a heart is formed. I add sequins for a bit of sparkle using the Adhesive Dots Small. What is great about these Adhesive Dots is that they are a strong and flexible adhesive that bond to any surface.

0117LY_heartbag2

To bring a little romantic touch to the bag, I added Twine, and Lace Ribbons. Perfect soft accents to the project, don’t you think?

0117LY_heartbag3

But wait! I added another decorative embellishment. This time all the way to the bottom of the bag to anchor by applying Washi  Tape to the bottom edge.

There you have it, a simple bag turned into a wow bag!

Shaped Valentine Card using Premium Double-Sided Tapes

Posted on January 29, 2017 by AJ Otto

Hiya~ AJ here with a fun little shaped valentine card using our Premium Double-Sided Tapes with FOIL! It gives it enough punch of color and sparkle, don’t you think?

AJOtto-ShapedValentine-1

Who doesn’t love foil? It adds that little something extra on projects!

AJOtto-ShapedValentine-2

For my card here, I used a combination of Premium Double-Sided Tape in 1/4″ and 1/8″ to create a border design. Place them diagonally, trim to fit the card and remove the liner one at a time. Place the foil over the exposed adhesive, rub to transfer the foil to the tape and lift. Repeat for each line of adhesive until you get the look you want.

AJOtto-ShapedValentine-3Mixing tape size allows for varied pattern possibilities!

Enjoy!
AJ
