Create a Flower Frame with Die Cuts and 3D Foam Butterflies

Posted on April 22, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

With spring in the air, I wanted to create a Flower Frame featuring 3D Foam Butterflies and a beautiful flower embellishment. Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today to share a tutorial on this project. This would be a lovely addition to your home or better yet, what a wonderful gift it would be!

How to Make the Flower Frame

Stephanie_Bild_5

First, I chose to use paper with a blue ombre design. Using those papers, die-cut them with a flower die and my manual die-cutting machine. Assemble the flower pieces to create a beautiful dimensional large blossom. Set it aside to work on the butterflies – my favorite part!

After gathering matching like colors of teal and silver glitter, I removed the top liners off of my choice of 3D Foam Butterflies and sprinkled glitter on top. Just tap off the excess and you have stunning dimensional butterflies with adhesive on the back side!

See a short video on How to Use 3D Foam Shapes…

Using Distress Oxide Inks, I created my background and adhered all the elements together. The butterflies came out so glittering and sparkling, I love it!

The 3D Foam Squares White Mix give the flower embellishment a dimensional effect. How do you do that? I simply used them under the flower and to adhere the branches. Then I added a glittered 3D Foam Butterfly on its petals for interest. Have fun with it!

Seaside Layout Using Ribbon and Extreme Double Sided Tape

Posted on April 21, 2017 by Tracy McLennon

Hey everybody! As I sit here wishing for warmer summer temperatures to arrive, I thought I would share a summery scrapbook layout. This layout has lots of dimension using 3D Foam Squares and a little bit of texture with ribbon and the help of Extreme Double Sided Tape.

Seaside1

As always I used my E-Z Runner Grand to assemble all of my background layers.

Seaside2

I love adding ribbon and trims to my papercrafting projects, and my secret weapon is Extreme Double Sided Tape. Here’s a little tip: I always have my ribbon wrap around the back of my layout instead of cutting it off at the edge. This makes for a much cleaner look. I add strips of the Extreme Double Sided Tape to the back of the paper, wrap the ribbon snuggly around the edge and adhere.

Seaside3

When assembling my layout, I like to add lots of layers and dimension using 3D Foam Squares. For this layout I added a single layer of the 3D Foam Squares on this patterned piece, and then a double layer of 3D Foam Squares to the back of my matted photos.

Seaside4

When I am matting my photos and getting ready to add them to my layout, my go-to’s are E-Z Runner Grand, Creative Photo Corners and 3D Foam Squares.

Seaside5

An easy way to add depth and dimension with ribbon, is to simply tie a knot in it. This creates a nice gathered look.

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Jana Maiwald-McCarthy

Hey everyone, Jana here with cute birthday cards for you with sparkly 3D Foam Shapes as accents! I love to send out handmade birthday wishes to my friends, but I was running out of cards! So better to create some new ones, right?!

happybirthday-janamccarthy

happybirthday-janamccarthy-1

I had a lot of fun putting them together! I used the 3D Foam Stars on this one, dipped the stars into gold glitter – really love how this turned out!

happybirthday-janamccarthy-1â

The cards are pretty simple and i used my stash for them but the golden glitter details are perfect. They give them a special touch!

happybirthday-janamccarthy-7

The “happy Birthday” script is from me, i love to practice my brush lettering and this one turned out great! So i scanned it, duplicated them and printed it out!

happybirthday-janamccarthy-2

happybirthday-janamccarthy-3

I also used some Crafty Foam Tape White to get more dimension for the clouds/paper strips! The E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser was my adhesive for everything else. It works awesome on vellum, you can´t really see it!

happybirthday-janamccarthy-6

Also used some 3D Foam Hearts and, oh my, I love these little hearts so much! But you know what?! I had glitter all over me and on my desk, even my little puppy was glittering all the day! haha!

A ‘Deer’ Little Gift!

Posted on April 19, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a ‘deer’ little Springtime gift! Inside this wallet is bath salts, such a sweet gift and easily made with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

CEmberson - Sachet 1

To start, I scored a piece of card to create a wallet just slightly wider than the packet of bath salts. To affix the packaging I applied just two of the NEW Adhesive Lines. These are like magic in a box! Transparent lines of adhesive glue with a strong, permanent and flexible bond that makes them perfect for use on multiple surfaces such as paper, fabric, plastic, wood, glass, foam, and metal.

CEmberson - Sachet 2

To decorate the outside of the wallet I affixed Authentique’s beautiful patterned paper with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

CEmberson - Sachet 3

Sharing a quick video on How to Use and Refill MyStik® Dispensers…

For my little flower embellishment I used 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

CEmberson - Sachet 4

Using a tag from the paper collection I tied this with twine and this keeps the wallet closed.

CEmberson - Sachet 5

The finished gift for a special friend, work colleague or perhaps a little treat for yourself!

Dimensional Flutters with 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit

Posted on April 18, 2017 by Guest Blogger

Hi all! Angel Rivera here again with a card using some lovely Birch Press Design dies and stamps.

AngelRivera 500 DimensionalFlutter 041817 3

After die cutting each of the Flutter plates, I adhered them together using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I purposely did not punch out all of the cut outs from the yellow die because I wanted more color in the butterflies knowing that I would use a white card base.

AngelRivera 500 DimensionalFlutter 041817 1

I used the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit for one of the smaller butterfly dies in the set. This kit is SO fun! I love those silver butterflies!

AngelRivera 500 DimensionalFlutter 041817 2

I then added the sentiment strip under one of the silver butterflies using the Dual Tip Glue Pen again.

“Enjoy the Ride” Card with Crafty Power Tape, Foam Shapes and Glitter

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello everyone! It’s Vicki here today and I thought I would share with you how you can easily add a little sparkle to your cards with 3D Foam Shapes, Crafty Power Tape and a little glitter- a technique we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Enjoy the Ride Card square - add sparkle to adhesives

With just a couple simple additions, you can turn a cute card into a “Wow” card. First of all I love adding some dimension so after cutting my heart and flower out, I added them to my card with Crafty Foam Tape. I use this on almost all my cards, because I just love the way it makes the focal piece stand off the page a bit.

Bike card Foam tape

Now, for the sparkle! I added a accent strip of glitter down the right side of the card simply by adding a strip of Crafty Power Tape to the main image piece and sprinkling a little glitter over it. It’s like making your own sparkle washi tape.

Bike card crafty Power tape

While you have your glitter out, it’s a great time to add a little to some 3D Foam Shapes to use as embellishments on your card. I thought the butterfly and flower from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes would be perfect for this card.

Bike card garden foam pieces

Just like that, your 3D Foam piece is ready to add to your card. Since they are sticky on both sides, not additional adhesive it needed.

My “Springy”, and sparkly card is now ready for the mail!

Creating Dimensional Hippity Hop Easter Card

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Easter Greetings to you all! Margie Higuchi, here to share this sweet Easter card full of dimension using 3D Foam Squares and adhered with a combination of E-Z Runner® Grand and Adhesive Dots Micro to showcase an adorable dimensional bunny image. I’ve added layers of Spellbinders® die cuts and My Mind’s Eye patterned papers to finish the look.

Creating Dimensional Hippity Hop Easter Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Color the Dimensional Bunny

Let’s start by stamping the bunny in the Vintage Easter stamp set with black ink. Color the bunny with watercolor pencils. I used pink for tender areas of the bunny and then layered with brown color. After I achieved my look, I fussy cut the bunny.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step1

I outlined the edges of the bunny with black watercolor pencil. Note the difference between the right (edged with black watercolor pencil) and the left (without the edging).

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step3

Stamped my sentiment onto patterned paper with black ink, using a stamp positioning tool.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step4

Make Card Layers

With the bunny shape as a guide, I was able to determine where to place my Spellbinders oval die template. To frame the oval shape, I used a Scalloped Oval. Now to cut and emboss with my die-cutting and embossing machine.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step5

The bunny popped up with dimension with 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix. Some I cut in half to fit around its ears and feet! Place it on top of the oval die cut.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step6

View this short video on How to Use 3D Foam Squares…

The scalloped oval and oval die cuts were adhered together with E-Z Runner® Grand.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step7

I also stamped a sentiment and egg accent design inside the card to make it more personal.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step8

The sweet floral trim was secured with Adhesive Dots Micro in each center of the flower and placed it across toward the bottom of the card front. Then added a mini self-adhesive pearl on each exposed flower center.

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step9

MargieHiguchi 500 HippityHopCard FlourishesLLC Step10

Lastly I added a combination of Regular and Small sizes from 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix to the back of the matted bunny oval (leave room for the trim). Center onto card front and you’re done!

Your Special Day Wedding Ensemble Using Foil

Posted on April 15, 2017 by AJ Otto

It’s your special day!!! AJ here with a little tip on how to create cute little custom embellishments, using our 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil.

I added several accents to this ensemble adding a little sparkle to it with our new 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil.

To add foil accents to your projects, Adhere a strip of our Premium Double-Sided Tape in 1/8″ and remove the backing.

Lay your foil over the adhesive, color side up and burnish with a bone folder and repeat for however many stripes you want.

You can also do the same with wood clothespins.

Again, using the same sized adhesive- place the adhesive on your clothespin, and gently burnish the tape into the wood first. You will then remove the backing, and place onto the foil and press down gently.

When you are done, you have fun little agents you can use on your projects!

I adhered the square using the E-Z Runner® Grand and the middle piece using 3D Foam Squares. To finish, add sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro.

This ensemble is perfect for weddings, birthdays and even Mother’s Day!

See more wedding cards and ideas on the blog!

Enjoy!
AJ

Rain or Shine Spring Layout with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Latrice Murphy

Hello everyone! Spring is finally here in the Chicago area! It’s been very back and forth with cold rain and sunshine so I couldn’t think of a more perfect layout to create and share than my rain or shine layout using 3D Foam Squares White Small, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and the Home Hobby Dual Tip Glue Pen. I mixed in lots of pattern, a little machine stitching and lots of sweet Spring embellishments. Here’s how I created it.

LatriceMurphy-Rainorshine-1

Like always I started with a sketch. I even made a bonus card sing my scraps from this layout. Check out the sketch first.

9B6826A8-2917-40BE-8194-E7BFCADD128B

I started with the background and chose two similar, but different enough Spring prints and cut those to 6″ wide. Next layered those with both white and red cardstock as a nice base for two 4×6 photos. Using theE-Z Runner® Permanent Strips makes layering quick and easy.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-2

I loved how the wood veneer matched the patterned paper so I added a few of those on the opposite side so all the umbrellas weren’t on the same side of the layout. The HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen is the best adhesive for these pieces as well as the sequins you see sprinkled around the page.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-3

To finish the page off I mixed hand written journaling with a card that had a quote I loved on it. Here is where I used my most favorite adhesive the 3D Foam Squares White Small. I placed them under the card to add the much needed dimension to the layout. You can also see that I used these in the above photo to raise my little smiley face, clouds and “just be you” tag.

LatriceMurphy-rainorshine-4

I hope the sunshine decides to stick around so the photographer mommy can get in some much needed sessions and playtime.

Bonus card:

I used left over cardstock, tags, sequins and the other side of the patterned paper to create this sweet Hello Spring card. This way I don’t have scraps to store and now I have the perfect card to send to a friend this Spring.

CDF86ECF-CFA3-42FF-BBD7-E8F71B41A0FA

I used 3D Foam Squares White Small, the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen to layer the tags with sequins and to really make the flower pop from the card front. I love the simplicity and bold colors on this one. Don’t think you’re a card maker? Try using those scraps for something fun next time.

Hope this gets you in the Spring crafting spirit. See you soon!
