Surprise Card

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Happy September!  It’s Amy and I can’t believe that the summer is wrapping up!  I wanted to design a card that uses some fun fall colors.

Amy Tsuruta-Surprise

Here’s a quick peek at some of the supplies I used on my card:

Amy Tsuruta-Surpise-2

I started off by adhering the base panel and circle die cut with the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser.  Love using this particular dispenser because, I’ll be honest, it doesn’t get lost on my desk!  I’m a very messy crafter and at the end of a project, my desk is loaded with supplies!  Do you see that wood grain strip?  That is two strips of Tissue Tape.  My card uses the Oak and the strip is on 3D Foam Squares White, Regular.

Who wouldn’t love to receive a Sock Monkey card?  Bonus that he is offering up two cups of coffee!  The coffee mugs have been popped up with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

Amy Tsuruta-Surprise-4

The 3D Foam Squares really add some fun to the design, don’t you agree?

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

Halloween Trick or Treat Container using E-Z Runner® Ultra

Posted on August 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello AJ here with some easy and fun Halloween Trick or Treat boxes that I assembled using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

AJOtto-TOTBox-1These are perfectly sized for your ‘special’ trick-or-treater and can be dressed in any way that you like!  (I’m thinking ahead to the holidays and filling them with baked goods as well! 😉

AJOtto-TOTBox-2To start it off, I thought a little contrasting color would be fun. I adhered a few thin strips of green yardstick using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.  This is perfectly sized for your thin strips of anything.

AJOtto-TOTBox-3For anything box related I always use my E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.  I just LOVE that it’s clear and so the strong hold is ideal for these types of party favors!

AJOtto-TOTBox-4 For some added fun, a few sequins using our Mini Adhesive Dots.  A definite staple on my desk now.  They are sized perfectly for sequins and smaller embellishments.

AJOtto-TOTBox-5

The tag is hanging by some black thread, and a few 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular a placed between each tag to keep them perfectly placed.

Enjoy!
AJ

Creating a Grateful Journal Cover using Adhesive Sheets and Thin 3D Foam Squares

Posted on August 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! It’s Judy here today to show you how I turned an inexpensive composition notebook cover into a Fall Grateful Journal. I was inspired by some dried leaves that I found pressed in the pages of an old phone book. Of course, I couldn’t throw them away!  Creative inspiration kicked in! LOL!

judy_hayes_grateful_journal-1

Here’s the how-to:

Start with a simple composition notebook.  I keep several on hand as I buy them at this time of the year (aka back to school supplies sales!). I added patterned paper, cardstock, Art Medium, Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12ʺ, Washi Tape, Twine and Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix Black.

judy_hayes_grateful_journal-2

Apply Art Medium to both sides of the leaves and let them dry.

judy_hayes_grateful_journal-3

Next apply Adhesive Sheets 12 x 12ʺ to back of patterned paper that was cut to fit notebook cover.

judy_hayes_grateful_journal-4

Fasten the patterned paper over the cover and trim the corners to match notebook.  Do the same for the back cover only.

Add wood look Washi Tape along the spine.

Rub various inks into the pattern paper. Stamp script along the edges.

Arrange leaves on the cover.  Then apply Art Medium to back of each one and press them in place. Brush a light coat over the top of the leaves as well.

Stamp “grateful” on ivory cardstock. Free hand trim around it. Rub inks over it. To fasten to the journal, use Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix Black.  Place them next to each other to cover most of the back side.  Fasten to journal.

judy_hayes_grateful_journal-5

Brush thin coat of the Art Medium over it to seal it.

Ink some tan Twine and dry it. Tie it around the cover near the spine.

The leaves are incredibly flexible from the Art Medium. They feel almost like oiled leather. It will be so inspiring to write in this journal come October!

Thanks for visiting!

Have fun creating with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products!

Hello Sunshine Card

Posted on August 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi there crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you and I’m happy to share a bright and colorful Hello Sunshine card today.

Hello Sunshine Card Tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prior to cutting and scoring the center “rays”, the paper was colored with a variety of dye inks. Color was lifted off using water. It gives a bleached effect.

Using three colors of pigment powder I mixed a small amount of three colors with water:  blue, gold, and pink. Each color was flicked separately onto the card to allow the pigment to “settle”, if you will, then I dabbed off the excess and heat set. I did that with each color. So shimmery!! (See below)

LisaAdametz-HelloSunshine-08272016--3

The Sunshine die cut was adhered using the super fabulous 4 x 6″ Adhesive Sheets.  So easy to use these. I love how strong the adhesive is and that they leave no stringy, goopy stuff in between the die-cut.

Everything is held together using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. This is an immediately tacky, ultra-strong adhesive and my absolute go-to adhesive. I also used the Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White (using the Large Squares) on the back of the rays panel to give it a very slight amount of dimension. Navy twine tied in a bow finishes it all off.

One more look!

Teacher Gift Tag Idea with Adhesive Dots

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Erica Houghton

School is right around the corner (YAY!) which means you’re BUSY getting kids ready! What about a teacher’s gift? Well, look no further! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a cute school themed notepad. Just use a large tag using  Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Mini.

Teacher Gift Tag Idea with Adhesive Dots

I started by scoring and folding a large tag almost in half – just line the bottom corners up with the top corners leaving the rounded edge exposed.

Teacher Gift Tag Idea with Adhesive Dots Teacher Gift Tag Idea with Adhesive Dots

I then scored two pieces of patterned paper in half and adhered the yellow pattern paper (shown below) to the inside of my tag using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser. Once the paper was in place I trimmed the excess from the left and right edges. I then adhered the black pattern paper to the outside of my tag also using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser and trimmed the excess paper.

I adhered the larger banner diecut pieces and the ‘school days’ label using the DODZ Adhesive Dots Small. I used the and DODZ Adhesive Dots Mini to adhere my buttons. This size is absolutely perfect for buttons and sequins!

Good morning! Michele here with a multi layer die cut and water colored card! I water colored all of my die cut pieces.  I also went a bit water color crazy and did the blue and scalloped pink background too! I layered all of the pieces using Crafty Foam Tape White.

The sentiment was cut out 4 times and adhered using the Dual Tip Glue pen.

Many Birthday Blessings Card featuring Adhesive Sheets

Posted on August 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Sending many birthday blessings through this layered card I created featuring Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesives Sheets. Not only can you die cut with these sheets but you can easily carry them to your craft gatherings without the bulk of a machine or tool (LOVE that!!).

Many Birthday Blessings Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First I die cut my pieces with patterned paper (card panel and frame) and cardstock (background accent piece and sentiment).

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step1

I applied my background accent piece with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ by pulling the liner back, placing the die cut on the sticky white surface and then placing back the liner to rub the die cut between the two sheets. Remove the liner and pull off the die cut (with its back covered in adhesive). Center the die cut on top of the card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step2

Next apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on the back of card panel and adhere to A2 size card base.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step3

Add adhesive on the back of the frame die cut using the process as background accent piece with the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ and center the die cut onto the card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step4

Stamp the sentiment onto the die cut and add 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular on the back. Center onto the frame die cut on card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step5

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step6

Add trinket butterfly pin on an angle behind on the lower left side of frame die cut (the adhesive sheet adhesive will secure it as well as the Dodz™ Adhesive Dots 3D as explained below).

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step6A

For the finishing touch, place a Dodz™ Adhesive Dots 3D on the back of a flower embellishment and place on top of the trinket butterfly pin.

Halloween Pillow Boxes using E-Z Runner® Ultra

Posted on August 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello AJ here with some super cute Halloween pillow boxes that I assembled using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser – one of our NEWEST products!

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-1

I have always had a love for creating Halloween projects, I can’t seem to put my finger on as to why, but it’s hands down my favorite holiday to create for.  And while it seems a bit early still (pretty much the hottest day in the summer we have had to date), I thought it would be a good time to get a start on the fun little treat containers for my fave holiday!

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-2

For anything box related I always use my E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.  Its clear line of adhesive is immediately tacky and perfect for use on mixed media and paper construction such as boxes, books and other 3D projects. Of course, great for cards and scrapbook pages too 😉

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-3

I stamped and cut out some cute little spooky images to pop up on to my circle die cuts using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-4

I wanted to add some texture to them, so I covered my ribbon strips in  Art Medium and set them aside to dry before adhering using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ Permanent.

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-5

Once all completed and dressed up with a few sprays of sparkles, fill with your favorite treats and goodies! And I suppose if you have a different favorite holiday, you could always customize them to your liking. 😉

Enjoy!
AJ
