Bonjour card by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

With summer break coming to a close, I find myself needing to send a lot of thank you cards that I never got around to do. Today, I am sharing a fun “snail mail” card, that isn’t too heavy to be over one stamp.

Instructions:

Die cut pattern paper, adhere to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape.
Trim down pattern paper, adhere to the front panel using E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable (as well as the kraft stamped card stock too).
Stamp/diecut/color in sunflower images and envelopes using 3D Foam Squares (white, small).
Tie bows, adhere using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Coffee + E-Z Runner® Grand

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Happy Saturday! How do you like to spend your weekends? I love to spend mine with family, friends and crafting! I have a super quick card to share with you! Here are some of the supplies I gathered:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 2

I started off with way more supplies than I actually used. Are you like that? I tend to be a collection girl and when I pick up a paper pad, I throw in the other coordinating products. Today’s card ended up being a bit more ‘clean + simple’ than I had originally thought.

My go-to adhesive is definitely the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 3

I love cards with POP. So when I thought about how I wanted to adhere the coffee mug, I knew it needed to be on Crafty Foam Tape White:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 4

If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m a coffee-a-holic. I did want to share this fun design element:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 5

I inked up the bottom of my coffee mug with a soft brown ink and stamped it directly onto my sentiment strip.

Something that I tend to forget is embellishing the envelope. I always love it when I open up a card and there is an envelope liner:

Here’s my finished project:

Thank you so much for stoppin’ by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Floral Hello Card

Posted on August 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi there, my crafty friends! It’s Lisa on the blog today to share a floral hello card that I made using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products and a few others, too.

LisaAdametz-FloralHello-08112016-1

Since I’m known to be wordy (yes, it’s true — shocking, I know) I decided against a tutorial and to just break down the process. I thought it would be much easier. It’s not a difficult card to make. Just a lot of steps and products. Which is GOOOOOD!! 😉 (Well, the products anyway.)

Stamp and emboss the sentiment using Versamark ink and a gold embossing powder. Heat set. Die-cut using a circle die.
Die-cut scallop circle from yellow floral patterned paper (this creates an open “ring”)
Die-cut another circle to fit behind the patterned paper using white cardstock. Adhere the patterned paper in place using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Now adhere the smaller circle on top using 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular. (Set this piece aside.)
Using the Pennant Set , die cut a rolled flower out of the canvas and a rolled rose out of the denim. I also chose to create another rolled rose out of felt. Secure the ends using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D. Set the flowers aside.
Using a fish-tail banner die, use that to make a beautiful fish-tail banner out of blue gingham patterned paper.
Cut a strip out of the yellow patterned paper to fit the center of the card.
And now? Assembly. Adhere the yellow patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser onto a navy card base.
Cut and adhere two tiny strips of white cardstock to fit either side of the yellow patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.
Attach 4 random strips of the Tissue Tape in Denim along the sides of the card.
Wrap the fish-tail banner in a doubled length of the Twine in Natural and tie in a small bow at the top. Adhere to card front using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.
Secure additional 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular on to the circle piece that was previously set aside and adhere onto the card front.
Now, to secure the flowers I used the Art Medium. Since the flowers are fabric/felt they can occasionally be tricky to hold onto cards. I find that using an art medium is really the best thing to use. Just paint a nice blob on the back and hold it in place for a few seconds, allow it to dry. Those flowers will not go anywhere. Yay! (I also used the Art Medium to hold my little pearl for the center of the felt flower.)
The last thing that I did was secure a few sequins to the card using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

See? Like I said, lots of steps but, a very simple card to make! Especially if you have the right adhesives! 😉

Here’s a couple of other views for you!

Coffee and Watercolors!

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

coffee

Good morning my crafty friends! Michele here with a fun and simple coffee card! I had to pay homage to my fellow DT member Amy 😉 We LOVE our coffee! I stamped the coffee cup and rings in brown ink and used my Zig water color markers to add splooshes of color around it. Once it was dry I used my Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Mini to adhere my sequins and to keep my twine in place.

I layered the water color panel over a piece of pink and then the kraft card using Crafty Foam Tape in White. It gives an otherwise simple card a bit of depth.

Thank you for popping in today!!

Scrapbooking Page with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today I want to show you a Scrapbook Layout on which I used Keepsake Envelopes Mix, Tissue Tape Denim and Flower and Art Medium.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_1

Those envelopes are perfect for treasures, little words to keep in mind, letters, findings on your way or at the beach. Keepsake Envelopes Mix comes with transparent envelopes in several sizes.

A few months ago we were on vacation at the Bodensee (south of Germany) and I enjoyed to search for pretty shells and little stones. For these things I used the small envelopes.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_2

First I prepared my Layout. Instead of a photo I painted a boat and for the water I used the Tissue Tape Denim.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_3

On my painting I added a coat of the Art Medium. I so love this shiny look and it gives my painting a great protection.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_5

Then I finished the layout with alpha stickers.

Thanks for visiting us today! I wish you a nice creative day!

judy_hayes_denim_and_ribbon_box_topper-14

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this technique. For a different look, try this technique with Lace Ribbons in place of Denim Ribbons. This would be cute as hair bow as well. Simply sew it to a hair clip.

Thanks so much for visiting!
Happy Crafting!
Judy

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Happy Friday! After a long, busy week I hope you’re planning to relax and spend time creating this weekend. To help inspire your creativity, it’s Erica and today I’m sharing a layout using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser.

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand I used to be one of those paper crafters that used liquid adhesives to adhere their paper and embellishments together. When fellow paper crafters would ask why I opted for a liquid adhesive I would site a negative past experience with a tape runner/dispenser, you know one of the following: it’s not strong enough to hold my layers together; not refillable; difficult to refill; expensive, etc. I had a laundry list of them (ha!)…and then I tried a Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L dispenser and found myself without excuses. Over the years I have used a variety of our dispensers, but as most of you know from previous blog posts, my one true love is E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser.

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Every layer and embellishment on the layout I’m sharing has been adhered using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser – even the flowers! Not only does this adhesive hold all of my layers in place it is strong enough to hold those heavier embellishments. It’s also super easy to refill – simply replace the cartridge – plus you get 150′ (that’s a lot of adhesive!).

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Feeling inspired? Great, enjoy your creative weekend and be sure to try our E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips dispenser – you’ll love it!

Forever Wedding Card Tutorial using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

One of my favorite adhesives to use on die cuts is Adhesive Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. For those intricate designs, it is a life-saver and a time-saver! With the etched dies (aka thin wafer dies), it cuts like butah – leaves NO MESS on you & on your dies.

Forever Wedding Card Tutorial using Adhesive Sheets by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I trimmed a piece of white cardstock that fit my die and then applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ to the back. Trim the excess adhesive sheet off and run through your manual die cutting machine. Cuts with no problem/no residue and no mess 🙂 They come in three sizes: 4 x 6″, 6 x 12″ and 12 x 12″.

Next I worked on my background, I colored my card base with Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® (Mango, Watermelon and Raspberry). Then blended with a baby wipe to achieve that trendy watercolor look.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step4

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step5

While the card base dries, I die cut my sentiment “Forever” with textured gold cardstock and Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″. Just repeat my earlier step with the background die cuts.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step6

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step7

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step8

Next I used my test paper (I tested my Gelatos® color combination on a piece of white cardstock) and trimmed to 1.5 x 4.25″ strip. After I edged the strip with Raspberry Gelatos®, I applied adhesive on the back with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step9

I wanted to create interest with the sentiment so I colored my looped threaded wire with Pigment Powder Pink (I rubbed the wire with leftover Adhesive Sheet before coloring). Small flowers were layered with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. All were secured with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step011

Lastly, adhere the sentiment, add touches of purple glitter to the flower center and background.

Hi everyone, Christine here today. I’ve put together a very easy gift bag project using all my everyday favorites from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. These are the items that I have on my craft desk to hand…always!

C Emberson - Gift Bag 1

Using a store purchased kraft gift bag I affixed some burlap using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 2

The first die cut is affixed in place with Crafty Power Tape, the beauty of this is that it is so easy to remove the paper backing – makes a quick project even quicker!

C Emberson - Gift Bag 3

To the reverse of a second die cut I attached Crafty Foam Tape. You can cut this to whatever length you need and again, removing the backing is effortless.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 4

To adhere small embellishments like buttons and charms 3D Foam Squares – White, Small are perfect.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 5

Each element layered up onto the front of the gift bag. Simple to make and speedy with all my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products.

Clean and Simple with a POP of 3D Foam Squares

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello! It’s Amy with a clean and simple (CAS) card. What does clean and simple mean to you? One layer? I consider myself a CAS designer but struggle with one layer cards. I always have the need to add more ‘stuff’.

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-1

Here’s a peek at some of my supplies for today’s project:

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-2

The E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser is definitely a go-to adhesive on all your projects. Are you wondering what I used it on for today’s card?

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-3

The coffee sleeve was actually fussy cut from a different panel. It’s easier for me to do the coffee cup as a 2 step process rather than masking. I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the sleeve to the cup. The 3D Foam Squares White Regular are great to pop up parts of your design.
