Silent Night Tag with Thin 3D Foam Squares

Posted on November 25, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Hello! Lets get crafty! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a tag I created using Thin 3D Foam Squares.

Silent Night Tag by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started by stamping the entire doll image on a sheet of white cardstock. I then cut the doll out and used this as my base for layering pattern paper.

Next, I stamped each part of the doll onto various pieces of pattern paper (note: this is a great way to use up scraps!) and cut each one out.

I then layered each pattern piece onto my base – the white cardstock. I used Thin 3D Foam Squares to give each piece a bit of dimension.

Add a piece of twine or jute and this makes a sweet, personable gift tag to add to a gift box or bag.

Creating a Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Harvest Wine Bottle Tag

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Did you ever have a last minute invitation to a dinner party and had nothing for a hostess gift? I will “sacrifice” my most favorite red wine for the occasion – HA! So into my craft studio I go to create a quick and easy wine bottle tag…

Thanksgiving Harvest Wine Bottle Tag by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the tag base, I folded a piece of Kraft cardstock. Before I die-cut a banner shape, I placed the fold line right underneath the cut line to give it a long shape and trimmed the back. I wanted dimension to my tag so I pulled out the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and adhered my patterned paper on it before die-cutting another banner shape. See my step by step photos on how to…

Set the banner aside. Next, I die-cut my leaf and circle (opening for the bottle neck). Take out the tag base and emboss the leaf.

margiehiguchi-thanksgivingwinetag-nov16-step5

Ink the edge of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet banner shape and through the leaf die to highlight the embossed areas.

margiehiguchi-thanksgivingwinetag-nov16-step6

Wrap natural jute around the top of the banner, tie a knot and secure with an Adhesive Dots Mini.

margiehiguchi-thanksgivingwinetag-nov16-step7

Add 3D Foam Squares Black Mix regular squares on the back of the leaf die cut and center onto the banner.

To finish, peel off the liner in the back of banner and adhere on to the tag base. Now it’s ready to hang on the wine bottle and to give! Loved how it turned out : )

Winter Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Die Cutting

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi There, it’s Stephanie here to show you how much fun it is to create with 3 D Foam Creative Sheets and Die Cutting and I want to show you how quick and easy you can create motives by yourself with your favorite Dies.

stephanie_card_creativesheets_1-1-von-1

I decorated a Mixed Media Card with a Die and a black 3 D Foam Creative Sheets. Here is how I made it.

stephanie_card_creativesheets_2-1-von-1

I used a cardboard and glued down some old paper scraps with the Art Medium. Then I added a bit of Gesso and some spots of paint and removed the excess paper with scissors.

stephanie_card_creativesheets_3-1-von-1

I used my Sizzix Big Shot Express to cut out and a black 3 D Foam Creative Sheets to cut out wings.

stephanie_card_creativesheets_4-1-von-1

I removed the foil and added some Glitter and Embossing Powder.

Tip: Use different types and colors of powders, that will give the wings a more dimensional and interesting look. Then I heated it.

stephanie_card_creativesheets_5-1-von-1

Then I added a sticker and put it onto 3 different papers and adhered it with 3D Foam Squares Mix – white.

It’s really fun technique, try it out.

Thanks for visiting us today!

have a great day!

The World is Brighter Card with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on November 21, 2016 by Guest Blogger

We are thrilled to have Tami Mayberry posting as our Guest Designer! She has a lot to share with us, starting with this gorgeous card using our adhesive sheets. Please help welcome Tami by leaving her some “love” in the comments section below (or click: The World is Brighter Card with Adhesive Sheets). WELCOME Tami – take it away!

Hi all! Tami Mayberry here with you today to share one of my favorite uses for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets. When it comes to crafting, I am honestly not a huge fan of liquid adhesives. I find that have neither the time or patience to apply them and wait for them to dry. That is one of the huge reasons that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products are my go-to adhesives.

The World is Brighter Card by Tami Mayberry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now, as far as Adhesive Sheets— I currently design for a die cutting company. Many of the dies I use are very intricate with lots of small areas to adhere. When die-cutting such pieces there is nothing I prefer more than Adhesive Sheets. I simply attach the sheet to the back of my cardstock or paper before die-cutting the shapes. I am then able to peel off the backing and attach the die-cut quickly and easily. This is the same process which I used for the card shown above. Try it for yourself and I’m sure you’ll see!

Using Adhesive Sheets for Die Cutting

Form a 4 ¼ x 5 ½-inch card from light blue cardstock.
Attach Adhesive Sheet to back of kraft cardstock.

Christmas Thank You with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on November 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Christmas thank you card featuring the very useful Adhesive Sheets with your die cutting.

Christmas Thank You Card Tutorial by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using Adhesive Sheets, (I like the 6 x 4 size for smaller dies, the sheets are available in larger sizes too) lift the yellow liner sheet, place your chosen card/paper inside – I’m using silver mirror card, re-apply the liner sheet, place your die on top and run through your die cutting machine.

cemberson-lights-2

You have a perfect sticky die cut with a removable backing. No messy liquid glue!

cemberson-lights-5

Using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser I prepared by window card base, so easy to apply a thin line of adhesive to affix my patterned paper.

cemberson-lights-3

cemberson-lights-4

3D Foam Squares White, Small – ideal to affix the small light bulbs as extra embellishment and dimension.

Dimensional Santa’s Nice List Card with 3D Foam Adhesives

Posted on November 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

AJ here! Time to get busy with my holiday cards!

ajotto-nicelist-1 I love the little happy Santa, and am sure the recipient who is on the nice list will also.

ajotto-nicelist-2

Every get so busy making a card and you screw up…not paying attention or what ever the case may be, I thought I would share that it happens to us all. I started coloring, and for some reason went with the dark colored grey where it should be white…so I stamped it again, cut out the white piece, and glued into place using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

ajotto-nicelist-3

To adhere layers to each other, I always reach for my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser, here I am just adhering the patterned paper to the white layer.

ajotto-nicelist-4

For a little added oomph, I am popping up this layer using Crafty Foam Tape White.

ajotto-nicelist-5

To adhere my die cut, I first place it on my project, about where I think I will secure it. I can then see where to place the 3D Foam Squares White Small so they adhere to the paper and NOT the ribbon for even layers.

ajotto-nicelist-6

Just add sequins by adhering them with Adhesive Dots Mini and it’s ready for delivery.

ajotto-nicelist-7

Something about this is putting me in the holiday spirit, time to get a few more done. 🙂

Enjoy!
AJ

A Coffee Project with Foam Adhesives

Posted on November 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hey, it’s Amy here and if you’ve been following me for a time, you’ll know that I love coffee. I love to drink it and love any/all coffee themed projects! This fun project uses one of the Starbucks reusable cups that they sell – just add foam adhesives for dimension and interest. This would make for a great gift, perhaps as a hostess gift filled with a coffee gift card, chocolate, you name it.

amytsuruta_happyfall

Here’s a peek at some of my supplies:

amytsuruta_happy-fall-1

Here’s a look at the pieces that I colored and die cut for my project.

amytsuruta_happyfall-2

I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable on my landscape piece for the circle panel.

amytsuruta_happyfall-3

I’m such a fan of the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix…I used those to adhere all my images to the circular panel.

amytsuruta_happyfall-4

With the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix it gives the project the perfect amount of visual interest, don’t you agree?

amytsuruta_happyfall-5

A combo of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ Permanent on the back of the circular panel will hold it to the coffee sleeve.

Hello friends! Can you believe it is half way through November? Wow! I know the Holidays are fast approaching, and you all are reverently working on Holiday cards and projects. However, there are still birthdays in November and December (including mine), and they are a card staple you should always have on hand.

I started by adhering pattern paper to the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Small, as well as the tag and flair. Next using E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable, I applied the little folder tag. Then using the Crafty Foam tape (white) I adheres the sentiment die cuts. To embellish I added ribbon and puffy stickers.

In Honor of Veterans Day by Lisa

Posted on November 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa back on the blog today and it’s Veterans Day here in the United States and a lot of people have the day off. Some are shopping or sleeping in or just enjoying having the day off. But, I *AM* actually a Veteran of the United States Air Force and Latisha Yoast’s husband is active duty Navy.

Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans–living or dead–but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

I made today’s card to give thanks to all of our great nation’s Veterans. And I hope you like it.

Veterans Day Hero Card Tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adheives by 3L

Making a Veteran’s Day Card

The poppy was stamped and watercolored and at the end I added some black Enamel Accents around the center of the flower.

Once it was dry, I added some blue pigment powder to my work surface and a little water. I picked this up with a paint brush and splattered it over the painted poppy. The sentiment was then stamped. A few dots were added with a white gel pen.

The panel was die-cut. Around the left edge I added dark denim ribbon with white stars and adhered it using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. A piece of vellum was cut and adhered to the back side using the same adhesive. Finally, a piece of twine was wrapped around on top, tied in a bow, and stiffened with the decoupage medium. And a pearl was added on top.

A piece of patterned paper was die-cut and adhered using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser and adhered to my card base. Then the piece with the poppy will be added. Just a few pieces of Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White to the back of the panel before adhering and it’s ready to go!

This beautiful, patriotic card is sure to make ANY Veteran smile on this Veterans Day. And be sure to say Thank you if you do know someone who has served or is serving our country. Most of us do it because we love this land we call home and we want to make this world a better place to live in. ♥

Create a Jar Lid Ornament with 3D Foam Christmas Shapes!

Posted on November 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a Christmas ornament using a rusty Ball Jar lid and 3D Foam Christmas Shapes. The shapes are a perfect size for this project. The lid was soaked in vinegar and water all summer long (I do this every summer to prepare!). I love the vintage worn look of the lids as a base!

ornament2

I cut out several circles and inked them up in shades of blue. I stamped the snowflake for a bit more interest.

ornament5

The third circle was cut in half with a few peaks and valleys to emulate snow drifts. I used Dual Tip Glue Pen to add glitter. I adhered everything to the inside of the lid using Crafty Foam Tape. Two of the trees from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes were used. Just add glitter to each and dots of gold. Stars were added from the 3D Foam Stars pack and were covered with gold glitter.

ornament3

I attached a sticker sentiment to the bottom with Crafty Foam Tape. A few red sequins were attached using Dodz Adhesive Dot Small. I tied twine, ribbon, and jingle bells to the top for easy hanging! ornament

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
