Hoppy Easter Treat Bags Using 3D Foam Squares

Posted on March 29, 2017 by AJ Otto

AJ here today with an easy bag treatment for your Easter treats! Mini eggs are hands down my kids favorite Easter treat. We tend to stock up on them at this time of year. Throw a cute little tag on a bag filled with them and bam, happy kids!

Easter Treat Bags Tutorial by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

One of my favorite tricks- when making little bows with twine, sometimes they come undone, I like them to have the perfect little loops that are even on each side.

AJOtto-EasterTreats-2

Add a small (teeny tiny!) drop of glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen to the center to hold the knot in place to prevent any slippage.

AJOtto-EasterTreats-3

I started by adhering my circle die cut to the patterned paper with 3D Foam Squares.

AJOtto-EasterTreats-004

Using the smaller of the two sizes of 3D Foam Squares, I adhere my little bunny to the circle.

AJOtto-EasterTreats-5

To prevent placing adhesives where they aren’t needed and will end up hanging off the sides, I lay my sentiment down to see where I am going to place it. Add a few 3D Foam Squares and then adhere.

Lastly, add a few sequins- With the Adhesives Dots Micro, you can stick the sequin to it and lay it on your project with the backing still on to map out where you want them on your project.

Accent a Journal with Paint, Paper and Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 28, 2017 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing a dollar store journal that I dressed up using Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12ʺ and Adhesive Dots Medium. Use little journals like this for gifts and it makes for both a gift and a card! Sometimes I write a personal note inside and add a gift card or cash. It would be perfect for a graduate!

Accent a Journal with Paint, Paper and Adhesive Sheets by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Journal Step Outs

These are the supplies I used and note that I found the journal in a dollar store. Paint it with chalk paint and let it dry. Then I applied a layer of creamy wax and buffed it to show its texture.

Adhesive Sheet Application

For edge-to-edge adhesive coverage, I used Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12ʺ to apply to the back of the patterned papers and navy mat. It’s so easy to add the adhesive. Simply lift the adhesive liner, place the papers on the adhesive, place the liner back to cover, and rub well to transfer adhesive. Then peel the paper pieces off.

For the front, I adhered the verse to the navy mat and placed the layered verse on the journal cover. So Easy!

Ribbon Detail

I folded ribbon about in half and secured together with Adhesive Dots Medium. Then I added two more Adhesive Dots Medium on one side of the ribbon. I used a needle tool to tuck the ribbon into the spine at top of the book. Once the journal was closed, I pressed along the book spine to make sure the ribbon was attached well.

Finishing Details

On the inside of the covers, I fastened striped paper. It adds a finished and decorative touch to the journal.

All that’s left is to write a personal note and give this journal to someone special!

Thanks so much for visiting!

Embellishing Egg Cartons for Easter Decor

Posted on March 24, 2017 by Michele Kovack

How about a few embellished egg cartons?! Good morning! Michele here, and who doesn’t have a love affair with Target’s Dollar Spot? I can’t ever walk past without picking something up. Not only are the items super cute, but heck they are only a dollar! Or two. Or three.

That’s where I picked up these cute wooden bunnies. I knew I wanted to do something for Easter with them. Egg cartons and bunnies? Together? Yes please!

Embellishing Egg Cartons for Easter by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Embellish Egg Cartons

Start by adhering the polka dot paper to the front of the egg cartons with E-Z Squares® Refillable. The bunnies were already sticky, so I adhered those directly onto the paper.

The gold trim bows were attached with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I made a flower for each bunny and used Adhesive Dots Medium to attach it.

egg carton 3

Next I added gold cording and a sticker sentiment under the flower. I used the Adhesive Dots Medium to attach both of them. Adhesive Dots are double-sided, clear adhesive dots of glue. They have a strong and flexible adhesive and they come in a unique, patented single dot dispenser that provides touch-free application.

View a short video by clicking How to Use Dodz Adhesive Dots video below.

For the final touch, I added a tail – a fluffy pink pom pom using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Spring Card with Embellished 3D Foam Squares

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s rainy and cold in Germany these days. So I decided to get in the spring by creating a spring card with fresh and light colors – thanks to a few 3D Foam Squares Mix White.

Stephanie_springcard_1 (1 von 1)

I used 3D Foam Squares Mix White on the outside of my card with embossing powder and glitter and some die cuts. My choice of colors are light blue and light and darker pink/rose.

Stephanie_springcard_2 (1 von 1)

On some squares I mixed my glitter and embossing powder together. These I liked most and used them for my card.

Stephanie_springcard_3 (1 von 1)

Then I added die cuts and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. I finished the card with alpha sticker, a rub on and a little flower sticker.

Stephanie_springcard_4 (1 von 1)

Spring is coming, for sure, but for now I have it on my card.

Thanks for visiting me today!

How to Adhere Those Tricky Die Cuts with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Springtime Birthday card. Applying thin die cuts can often be tricky but they are no longer a problem with Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″.

CEmberson - Bird Card 9

To start, my card base has two white mats affixed with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

CEmberson - Bird Card 2

I then selected an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″. Lifted the yellow release paper and placed my colored card inside.

CEmberson - Bird Card 3

Smoothed it back down and positioned my die. Run this through my die cutting machine.

CEmberson - Bird Card 4

When cut and embossed I peeled away the backing to reveal that the adhesive from the sheet has transferred onto the back of my delicate die cut.

CEmberson - Bird Card 5

View the quick video below on How to Use Adhesive Sheets for Die Cutting.

Positioned onto my card front.

CEmberson - Bird Card 6

I added further little bird die cuts and adhered these with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

Dimensional Hexie Shamrock Card Tutorial

Posted on March 17, 2017 by Margie Higuchi

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I’d like to share a card that has a dimension in my background and in my embellishment, using our 3D Foam products. LOVE how it turned out!

Dimensional Hexie Shamrock Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hexie Shamrock Card Tutorial

This green collection is the perfect pattern to use for this occasion. I cut about 26 Hexagons from my die and edged them with green ink for a subtle look. I ended up using 24 but I wanted a choice of patterns 😉

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step1

Once I cut and inked them up, I placed the die cuts on top of my A2-sized (5.50 x 4.25″) card base.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step2

I used my E-Z Runner® Grand to adhere to most of my die cuts but popped up four random die cuts with 3D Foam Squares Black Regular.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step3

After all were secured them down, trim off the excess and your card base is done.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step4

Embellishing Details

Now to embellish! I cut a rectangle shape from green patterned paper and cut another a little larger to the mat with gold mirror cardstock. I adhered them together with E-Z Runner® Grand.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step5

To create my gold shamrock, I took four 3D Foam Hearts and placed them on top of my matted rectangle. Remove the top liner to sprinkle gold glitter on top. Press firmly to make sure they are stuck on well. Shake off excess.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step6

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step7

To anchor my embellished shamrock, I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ as a ribbon by adhering right down my card base. After taking off the liner, I sprinkled glitter. press down and dust off the excess.

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step8

For these wonderful sequins and gems, I used the Adhesive Dots Small to adhere to the card front. These adhesive dots are perfect for many sizes of embellishment – we have six sizes of Adhesive Dots!

MargieHiguchi 500 DImensionalHexagonEmeraldCd 031717 Step9

Add the embellished shamrock rectangle piece on top with 3D Foam Squares White Regular and you’re done!

Not Older, Just Better Card Using Dual Tip Glue Pen

Posted on March 15, 2017 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here today with a card I created with leftovers from a die cover plate. While the pieces were all still intact in the die, I quickly added a light dot of liquid adhesive from our Dual Tip Glue Pen to each little piece.

Butterfly Birthday Card by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then I adhered to the white card panel. I didn’t want to waste all the pretty little mirrored pieces, and it worked out perfectly for a second card!

Butterfly Birthday Card 2 by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To finish the card off, I stamped a butterfly and sentiment. Then popped it up with a few 3D Foam Squares, and adhered a few sequins using our Adhesive Dots Mini.

Do you ever thought to use your leftovers for a second project? Give it try in your next card project.

Enjoy!
