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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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-3 Mixing tape size allows for varied pattern possibilities!

Enjoy!
AJ

Sweet Denim and Hearts Album with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on January 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! I have a Sweet Denim and Hearts Album to share! This album could be for a new baby or a sweet little girl. It’s perfect for the first year or any special event!

Add a band of texture ribbons, burlap and sheer ribbon layered together with scalloped gauze edges over the denim cover. The little scalloped edge was made with a folded piece of cheesecloth stitched along the fold with hem stitch. The zigzag stitch draws the gauze into scallop. Attach in place with white glue before band was applied. Burlap ribbon was applied with a light coat of white glue brushed onto the cover. Place sheer ribbon over it and attach at the ends (fold under at top and bottom). A combination of Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ and white glue hold ends in place. 3D Foam Hearts covered in glitter decorate the band along with tiny pearls. Two tiny hearts dangle from cord below the sheer bow.

Adding glitter to 3D Foam Hearts is one of my favorite techniques. It’s so easy! And looks so pretty! Simply remove heart from sheet and sprinkle with glitter. Press glitter into the adhesive on the heart to get good coverage. For a visual tutorial, see video below.

Because these hearts are on an album that may be handled often, I added Adhesive Dots Medium in addition to adhesive on heart to fasten on ribbon band.

To make the tiny dangle hearts, cover two hearts with glitter on one side. Place the end of cord between the two hearts (remove liner from both hearts) and sandwiching together.

Center a tiny glittered heart on the bow by using a Adhesive Dots Small, along with adhesive on heart to give it more holding power. Bow is attached with Adhesive Dots Medium plus a few stitches.

Short pieces of sheer ribbon are tied around the book rings. Inside covers and pages can be decorated with patterned papers, embellishments and photos.

Thank you for visiting!

Embellished Heart Box

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Latisha Yoast

Hello there, Latisha here to share an easy way to decorate and embellish a heart box, featuring Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″, Adhesive Dots and Lace Ribbons. I think we all have little card board boxes hanging around, so I decided to paint it red using regular acrylic paint.

Once it dried, using the HomeHobby Extreme Double Sided 1/4 inch tape, i ran a strip of it along the outside lid. Then placed a small strip of the lace ribbons right over the double sided tape.

Heart Gift Box by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To embellish the top, I created a rose florette, by adding the larger Lace Ribbons, to the top of a Dodz Adhesive Dots, and then added a few buttons using Adhesive Dots Medium. This project is so easy to do, and so customized depending on the holiday or event. Filling this with chocolate or small jewelry and this is the perfect way to present a gift.

Sips and Sweets ATC Book Box with 3D Foam Cupcake

Posted on January 25, 2017 by Erica Houghton

Hi! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing an altered ATC Book Box using a 3D Foam Cupcake, Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″.

Sips and Sweets ATC Book Box by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started with an ivory Graphic 45 ATC book box and removed the paper band. Using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ I adhered pattern paper to the inside and perimeter of the box, as well as the lid.

Next, I adhered pattern paper to the outside of the box using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″. Using the paper band that I’d removed I measured and cut a piece of pattern paper the same width and length to create a coordinating band for my box. I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ to adhered the two ends of the band together.

To decorate the outside of my box I used a 3D Foam Cupcake. I sprinkled glitter along the bottom portion of the cupcake. Tip: I used the leftover liner from the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ to cover the top of my cupcake to prevent the darker glitter from landing there. I removed the liner and then sprinkled light pink glitter over the top portion.

To finish my box I added ribbon, twine, a metal accent and sticker. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner fill this box with macarons and gift it to a friend!

Creating Texture with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on January 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun way to add texture to your die cuts by using Thin 3D Foam Squares! I love using a product in a different way than it was intended! I feel like I get more bang for my buck that way! 😉

I die cut a heart out of pale pink card stock and used the Thin 3D Foam Squares to outline the perimeter working my way to the center. I peeled off the tops and sprinkled with glitter. I wanted to layer a couple more hearts on top, so I grabbed a package of 3D Foam Hearts. I chose a large heart and small heart. I peeled off one side and sprinkled hot pink glitter on the larger one and red on the smaller one.

valentine1

I adhered the two hearts to the large heart using my Dual Tip Glue Pen. I die cut a pretty square to place behind my hearts. I added two strips of Gemstone strips behind it and layered everything using Crafty Foam Tape.

valentine2

I added some posies, leaves, sticker sentiment and some pink Twine using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.
