Going Plaid Wild with Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares!

Posted on August 2, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a more masculine plaid style card using our Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares.

Plaid & masculine card tutorial by Christine Emberson

I created my card base from brown card and patterned plaid paper. All affixed with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. This dispenser is from the original family here at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®, it is disposable and recycleable. I always pop one of these in my craft bag when travelling.

I cut a further rectangle of patterned paper to go with a die cut and attached Crafty Foam Tape to the reverse.

For all my smaller die cut embellishments, 3D Foam Squares White Small fits perfectly on the back and will hold them in place securely.

The finished card…

A tiny final touch is the pearl to the middle of the flower. Omit the flower and foliage to make the card more masculine if you wish.

Using Large Photos on a Scrapbook Layout with E-Z Runner

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Welcome August! It seems like summer has flown by. Today I’m sharing how to use two 5 x 7″ photos to make a big impact on a page with the help of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Soon we’ll be school supply shopping soon and back to dance full time before we know it. Being the dance mom and the photographer means new photos coming out soon so I better scrap the old ones!

I gathered my supplies and packed them up for our road trip. Creating on the go is easy with a kit from Jillibean Soup Design’s Bowl of Dreams Collection, some embellishments, cardstock and photos. Along with my adhesives: E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser, E-Z Dots® Refillable Dispenser and Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Using both gray and white cardstock to matte each photo. Those were placed first and then I created fun clusters around the page using bit and pieces from the kit.

Layering all the colorful pieces was simple with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser and E-Z Dots® Refillable Dispenser. The laser cut title piece was covered with the E-Z Dots® Refillable Dispenser on the back and worked amazingly.

Finished the page with some machine stitching (did that once I got home) and secured sequins with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Creating a Photo Cover with Dual Tip Glue Pen

Posted on July 31, 2017 by Guest Blogger

Hi all, Guest Design Team Member Lea Biccelli here with another new project! Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I decided to create a photo cover from scratch. Let me show you how…

Photo Cover by Lea Biccelli for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Main Pic

Cut from the cardboard, three parts that make up the cover (front, spine and back). With Dual Tip Glue Pen (the wide tip), I glued two dried baby wipes to cover one side of the cardboard pieces. This gives a softer feel when I finish the cover. Trim the excess baby wipe (using cardboard pieces as a guide).

Once dry, I want to cover it with cotton fabric. Cut the fabric a bit larger than the size of the cover so that I can fold the excess over the inside edges – use Premium Double-Sided Tape Permanent 1/4″ to secure it.

For the inside, I cut out two rectangles from patterned paper to cover and applied Premium Double-Sided Tape Permanent 1/4″ along the edges. But for the central area, I used Dual Tip Glue Pen. Lastly using my photo as a guide, I placed Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack in White.

For the front cover, I stenciled with acrylic mousse and added some floral die cuts with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Then I attached “Happy Day” with a couple of Thin 3D Foam Square Mix White for dimension.

A small project for a last-minute gift … and fun to do.

Good creativity to all.
xoxo

Birthday Scrapbook Layout with my Top 5 Go To Adhesives

Posted on July 30, 2017 by Christine Meyer

Over the years I’ve learned exactly which adhesives I ALWAYS need on hand. If I have these, I can create any scrapbook layout efficiently and know it won’t fall apart on me. Today I am going to feature my TOP 5 in one multi-photo birthday layout.

Birthday Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer using her top 5 go to adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My Top 5 Favorite Adhesives

My Top 5 are: E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Squares, Adhesive Dots, E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen.

3D Foam Squares are something I use not only on every layout but nearly every card too! They have great height and stick well! Size and color options are all available and if the originals are too thick for you they also carry Thin 3D Foam Squares too!

I love the easy use of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. It is ridiculously simple to switch out the cartridges making it easy to use the adhesive that you need. My go to for those little itty bitty pieces is the E-Z Runner® Micro Dispenser!

I have a process video to share with you that walks you thru how I used each of these adhesives on this layout. Come have a look below…

Simple Things Scene Card with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! It’s Judy here today with a “Simple Things” country scene card with a bit of dimension created with Thin 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Squares. That little pop up really adds depth!

When I first had the idea for this card, I tried out three die sets with white cardstock to see how the shapes looked and fit together. Once I had the design plan, I decided to use the white pieces and color them with markers rather than go hunting for different colors of cardstock. I was being a bit lazy (wink)! I really like the look, it fits my style!

To assemble the scene, I glued the fence to the hill with HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen. Just add tiny drops of glue to the fence posts and press it in place. I also used it to assemble the mail box pieces.

The landscape hill is fastened to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for dimension but not too much pop.

I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue mail box post to landscape and 3D Foam Squares Black Small behind the mail box for interest.

Cut a smaller piece of 3D Foam Squares Black Small to fit behind the tiny bird. The bare trees are glued in place with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix was used at bottom of evergreen tree because it’s layered over the landscape which is already popped up. I used 3D Foam Squares Black Small at the top for a little more thickness.

I assembled the scene to mats and then to a Kraft card with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Lastly, I added the stamped verse popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

I had fun with this card! I hope you enjoy it, too! Thank you for visiting!

Baby Shaker Card using Crafty Power Tape

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello Everyone! Today I thought I’d show you how I put together this special baby card that I created for my new great niece.

There are many different ways to go about making a shaker card, but I’m going to show you how I made this one with the protective covering dis-guarded from some other craft product packaging. I’m sure if you look thru your craft supplies you might find these in many different sizes. I wanted one that was fairly large to fit my entire image inside.

I traced the size of the plastic onto the front of my card, making sure it was centered. I then cut it out from the front of the card with my craft knife. I lined the inside of the front of the card with Crafty Power Tape.

The lip of the plastic then set inside. The tape holding it tight in place.

I cut a back for the inside of the front of the card centering my image on it. I made this the same size as the front of the card. I sprinkled some sequins into the clear piece and then covered it with the piece with the image by using my E-Z Runner® Grand (making sure I added the adhesive close to the edge of the plastic piece to hold the sequins inside).

I also used my E-Z Runner® Grand for all the rest of my pieces to create my card.

To give dimension to the cut out flower pieces I used Thin 3D Foam Squares. I wanted to add some of these cute butterflies from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes, so I added some gold glitter to pull in the gold from the sequins.

I then dressed it up with a vintage button and a charm by added them with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium

I’m so excited to meet my new Great Niece!

Daily Grind – A Layered Circle Card

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

Circle shaped, coffee themed card by Latisha Yoast

Hello Friends, it’s Latisha here. I love coffee, and most everyone I know does as well. When I saw these die cuts, I knew I had to create with them. Let me show you how I made the circle shaped card.

Start by die cutting 2 circle shapes using white card stock. Then, with the back piece, score a line about an inch down from the top, and apply adhesive above the score line. I like to use HomeHobby Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in, it is permanent and very strong. Perfect for a shaped card.

Once the card base is put together, adhere pattern paper to the front using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then add the die cuts also using the 3D Foam Squares.

To finish tie a bow with twine and adhere using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.

Shaker Cards and Crafty Foam Tape!

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun little shaker card! I stamped my image and colored it with Copic markers and Prisma Colored Pencils. I double cut it with a die cut.

I adhered the acetate behind the “window” using E-Z Squares® Refillable. I popped it up using Crafty Foam Tape. (LOVE This stuff!) While it was still upside down, I added my sequins and seed beads and then added my back panel.

The shaker portion was attached to the plaid paper and the orange card using the Crafty Foam Tape again. (I love dimension on my cards!) I tied a skinny satin ribbon at the top. I secured the knot with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Small. I thought it would be fun to add mini pom poms to the center! I adhered those with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to be sure they didn’t budge!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great week!

Wonderful Scrapbook Page Layered in 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a scrapbooking page with a fun little part of layering for which I used the 3D Foam Squares Mix – White and the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Micro Refill inside.

I also have a little tutorial for you.

1. Collect paper scraps and washi tapes that match my photo.

2. Layer paper scraps under my photo and secure them with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Micro Refill inside. I couldn’t find my Micro Dispenser BUT lucky that all my E-Z Runner Refillable Dispensers are interchangeable with other E-Z Runner Refills! Great, isn’t it?! And worth a mention 🙂

3. BTW the E-Z Runner® Micro Refill is perfect to adhere all those small scraps.

4. This is my finished layering part. I layered 8-10 paper scraps behind the photo.

5. Next to prepare my background. I used a watercolor paper with acrylic paints and stamps. I painted the background light blue and made some marks in other colors. Then I stamped the flower stamp (from Hero Arts).

6. I adhered two little stripes of washi tape.

7. Then position the photo and adhered it with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser

8. Add finishing touches with other tapes and stickers.

9. Lastly, I adhered a die cut with 3D Foam Squares Mix – White
