Masculine Birthday Card with 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! I have a masculine birthday card to share that has a very vintage worn look. I’ve used 3D Foam Creative Sheets and 3D Foam Squares to pop up some elements. I like the visual depth and interest created by raising some pieces!

Masculine Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbok Adhesives by 3L Blog

The gold frame, clock, arrow, hand and birthday label all have some dimension. To make the gold frame, I placed the craft foil on a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Black before I die cut it. Because the foam compresses as it goes through a die cut machine, it’s easy to cut, but it pops right back up! The 3D Foam Creative Sheets give the frame thickness plus an adhesive backing so it’s just like a sticker. I used the frame over a stamped collage that’s been rubbed with Distress inks. It’s fastened to black cardstock with E-Z Runner® Ultra Permanent Refillable Dispenser. It was also used to fasten it to the card which was stamped and rubbed with Distress inks. It’s really sticky and sticks over Distress ink.

The arrow, clock face and hand were stamped, fussy cut and popped up with 3D Foam Squares – Regular, Black cut to fit as needed. Happy birthday was stamped and free hand cut to form label and then fastened with E-Z Runner® Ultra Permanent Refillable Dispenser to red mat. It’s fastened to the card with 3D Foam Squares. The cut outs from the gold frame (a narrow strip and tiny triangle) were used as accents. Even though small, they were so easy to fasten because of 3D Foam Creative Sheets backing!

Happy creating with dimension!

Pocket Cards with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a set of school-themed pocket cards I created using our strongest tape – Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″.

For many of us school starts tomorrow which means first day of school pictures to scrapbook. And if you’re like me you’re behind and haven’t even documented last years pictures yet. That’s okay! Take inspiration from my pocket cards below, create a set of your own and then you’ll be ready to document this year as soon as you print your pictures!

Pocket Cards with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I created eight 3″x4″ cards and two 4″x6″ cards that are ready to be inserted into my pocket card page protectors. Not a pocket card scrapbooker? No worries, these cards can easily be used as embellishments on traditional layout too.

I used our Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″ to adhere multiple paper layers together, as well as the embellishments, including the leaves (I used a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix to adhere the flowers).

Not only is our Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″ strong, it’s perfect for adhering smaller piece of paper, die cuts and embellishments. I used it to adhere the gold stars, and banner and label die cuts, just to name a few.

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.

Amy Tsuruta-Surprise-3

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!

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-1 These 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-2 To 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-3 For 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!

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!
