Beach Day Scrapbook Layout featuring Creative Photo Corners

Posted on May 30, 2017 by Christine Meyer

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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

Posted on May 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

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.

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.

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.

Here are both sides of this inspiration card once laminated.

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

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Vicki Chrisman

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.

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.

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.

notebook_2

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

hello6-janamccarthy-3

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!
