Shaking Things Up with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on July 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello!  It’s Amy here with a Shaker Card.  I know that the shaker rage has been around for awhile but I still get comments from people that they want to try making them.  I think that I’ve made more in the last year than I ever have.

Would you be able to guess what I used for the shaker adhesive?

Crafty Foam Tape in black!  I love a good challenge and wanted to see if I could actually use the black on a white card.  Let’s get to the basics of how I put my card together.  I started off with the scalloped die cut frame.I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the acetate panel to the die cut frame.

Next up is the Crafty Foam Tape:

I’m a frugal adhesive user.  What does that mean?  Well, I literally snip the Crafty Foam Tape to the length that I want it and then divide that strip into thirds.

Cutting it that way makes so that it doesn’t show up in my project.  The beauty of the Crafty Foam Tape is that it HOLDS the shape.  I’ve used a bunch of different adhesive and not many can stand up to being cut that narrow and not becoming deformed.

The next step is the shaker contents.  I pile them onto the base panel.

Then I position the frame die cut to where I want it to be situated.  When that has been completed.  I finish off the panel with any other embellishments.  I decided to top off my card with some crinkle ribbon.

I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the panel to my card base.

There you go!  I hope for those of you that haven’t designed a shaker card yet, that this might be the inspiration that you need.  They really are pretty easy to make and they packed so much of a punch.  It is always fun finding the perfect shaker mix to compliment your design.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolors and Coffee Card!

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a card that truly speaks to me.  Coffee. Gotta have it. Every. Day. 😉

I stamped and embossed the coffee cup in white and gave it a wash of water colors in shades of blue.  The flowers were also water colored and assembled using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini (For the smaller pieces) and the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium, to attach to the coffee cup and sentiment.

liquid sanity2

I attached the coffee cup/flower/sentiment to the die cut background using 3D Foam Squares.  The card base itself was created using various circle dies and water colored.  Each layer was adhered using Crafty Foam Tape. I love the depth these adhesives give to my projects! For my finishing touches I added a few sequins (again, using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini) and a bit of rustic twine.

Little Square Mini Album for Instagram Photos

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today. I love to take pictures and I love the social network in Instagram. There are a lot of creative people and we all share the joy of scrapbooking, cardmaking and mixed media together. Some years ago I made a lot of landscape photos of where I lived and some of them I wanted to archive in a small little Mini Album.

Stephanie_minialbum_1

Here is my little tutorial how I made this little square mini album.

Stephanie_minialbum_2

1 – I prepared some double pages and a cover. The cover is 5mm larger on each side.

2 – Then I made 5 holes equidistantly with a big needle and sewed the pages and the cover together with a baker twine.

3 – I cut the excess thread.

4 – Then I chose some photos for my mini album.

5 – I adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser

6 – And I added some sticker and notes after all.

And here are some inside pages of this album.

I wish you a nice creative day!

How to Create a DIY Mini Sewing Kit from Mint Tin

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello blog friends! It’s Judy here today to share a Mini Sewing Kit created from a mint tin. The last time I traveled I discovered my plastic sewing kit was broken. I decorated this tin and transferred all the supplies into it!

How to Create a DIY Mini Sewing Kit from a Mint Tin

Here are my supplies!

judy_hayes_sewing_kit-2

To decorate this tin, wrap  washi tape around the bottom of tin.  Then wrap TWO layers washi tape around edge of lid.

Fasten a piece of patterned paper to top of the tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ . Add a strip of washi tape to thin cardboard and trimmed it same width as tape.  Fasten to tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ. Next thread twine  through the top straight edges of the Lace Ribbons. With another piece of twine, tie a bow and secure with a dot of Art Medium to the knot. This will keep the bow from coming undone.

The Lace Ribbons were fastened to top of tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. Then add a piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ. For the inside, add washi tape around the sides of bottom. Patterned paper was added on the inside lid and bottom.

To finish it off, I transferred all the supplies from my broken kit and I have a pretty (and sturdy) Mini Sewing Kit!

A Little Something Shaker Card with 3D Foam Frames

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a fun and simple way to use 3D Foam Frames to create a cute shaker card! Before I made this shaker card I read and watched several tutorials to see how others were creating shaker cards. I was amazed at how complex the instructions seemed to be, I decided there had to be a simpler way…guess what? There is! Our 3D Foam Frames are the perfect solution – check out my tutorial below!

A Little Something Shaker Card with 3D Foam Frames

I started by cutting a 4.25 x 5.5” rectangle and adhered it to the base of my card using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. Next, I cut a 3.75 x 5” rectangle – creating a second layer – as well as a 3 x 4” journaling card.

Next, I selected one of the 3D Foam Frames that fit the perimeter of the 3 x 4” journaling card. Once the 3D Foam Frame was in place I sprinkled a few sequins onto the journaling card.

I then removed the paper covering from the 3D Foam Frames (i.e., the adhesive was showing) and placed a 3 x 4” transparency on top. I pressed the transparency down firmly ensuring it was completely adhered to the 3D Foam Frames – I didn’t want my sequins to escape!

I wanted to give my shaker piece a clean look so I placed Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ Permanent along all four edges and then covered it with pattern paper. I considered my shaker complete and adhered it using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to the 3.75 x 5” rectangle. (Remember our E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser is really strong so it’s perfect for adhering those heaver items when creating).

To finish my card I tied a black and white checkered bow and added a white button. Finally, I adhered the 3.75 x 5” rectangle using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to the base of my card.

A Little Something Shaker Card with 3D Foam FramesThat’s it! Not only is it simple it’s cute too!

Fringed 4th of July Card Tutorial

Posted on July 3, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Birthday, America! For today’s fringed card, I wanted to create something that had movement so I took out my fringe scissors and went to town with my strips of red, white and blue patterned papers. Of course, using my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, I adhered everything all together. What do you think?

Fringed 4th of July card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Fringed Card

After I cut my fringes (two layers for each color), I placed Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ on the back edge of each fringe and adhered onto my white A2-sized (4.25 x 5.5 inches) card base.

MargieHiguchi 500 Fringed4thCard Step1

I fussy cut the sentiment and stars from patterned papers. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I placed the stars onto the sentiment and let dry.

MargieHiguchi 500 Fringed4thCard Step3

For more dimension and not to flatten the fringes, I used 3D Foam Squares White, Regular on the back of the sentiment. Took off the liner and center on the card front.

MargieHiguchi 500 Fringed4thCard Step2

The finishing touch of glitter in the centers of the stars and it’s ready to go! Another look…

With Thanks Card using Tissue Tape

Posted on July 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a thank you card using some brilliant Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products featuring the beautiful  Tissue Tapes.

IMG_4184 Square

I’ve chosen to use two designs – one from Denim and Flower and the other from Ash and Oak.

Affixed three strips vertically onto my card front.

Thanks CEmberson 3

I stamped some foliage images and die cut as embellishments, affixed in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

Thanks CEmberson 4

The sentiment has been stamped onto a very narrow piece of card, easily adhered with E-Z Runner Micro Refillable – this dispenses a narrow strip which is perfect for accurate precision.

Thanks CEmberson 5

Added a few more die cut flowers and gemstones to finish.

Thanks CEmberson 7

Up The Happy with Dimension using 3D Foam Squares

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello, it’s Amy here with a Happy Card 🙂 After I did all the die-cutting, it was super quick to assemble and bring dimension by using 3D Foam Squares White Regular to the mix.  There’s very little coloring involved because the plaid paper brought in so much.

Up The Happy Card by AmyTsuruta for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here’s a peek at my supplies:

Posted on June 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hola!  We are in full summer break mode and I feel like all we are doing is running all over the place…I’m hoping for some dog says of summer here real quick! In the mean time, I have a 4th of July Celebrate card tutorial to share!

Celebrate Card using E-Z Runner Grand by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With the 4th of July just around the corner, I thought red white and blue was more than appropriate here.  The firework bursts are from flowers from Clearly Besotted, they double perfectly as fireworks don’t you think?

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-2

To start, I stamped the main panel shown above.  Then using the E-Z Runner® Grand, I adhered the camped panel to the blue layer.

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-4

To pop my blue layer up, I use the Crafty Foam Tape in white to adhere to my card base.

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-5

To finish off the card, I added a few star sequins using the HomeHobby Dual Tip Glue Pen.

AJOtto-Celebrate4th-6

Have safe and spectacular July 4th!
