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.

Here’s a peek at some of my supplies:

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.

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

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

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.

Create a Celebrate Birthday Card with Foam Adhesives

Posted on November 12, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

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 grabbed a pattern paper collection with had die cuts, paper, stickers and flair, which made making this card very simple. All I needed was my favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

1116ly_birthdaycard2

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!

3D Foam Creative Sheets and Die Cutting

Posted on November 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hello! There is so much fun with 3 D Foam Creative Sheets and Die Cutting. I want to show you how quick and easy to create dimension with your favorite dies.

stephanie_creativesheets_1-1-von-1

I decorated my December Daily with a die cut and a white 3 D Foam Creative Sheets. Here is how I made it.

stephanie_creativesheets_2

1 – I pulled the liner off my white 3 D Foam Creative Sheets and applied to the back of my white cardstock. Then die cut my tree shape.

2 – I carefully removed the tree.

3 – Pulled off the liner on my tree. Added some glitter, embossing powder and snowflakes and then heated it.

4 – I applied white paint on it for a snowy look.

Decorated my cover by using paper, sticker and other embellishments.

stephanie_creativesheets_3-1-von-1

I love how it turned out, it’s all white in white.

Tag with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini

Posted on November 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Happy Saturday! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a tag I created using Adhesive Dots Mini and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

Tag with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini

I used Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ to adhere the “lovely” piece of pattern paper to my tag base.

Tag with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini

I then adhered the “one” and button using Adhesive Dots Mini. I’ve said this before, but the Adhesive Dots Mini are ideal for adhering those smaller embellishments, like buttons and sequins to your layout, card, tag, etc.

Tag with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini

I’m using this cute tag on a gift bag for a birthday party this weekend! I hope you have the chance to get creative this weekend!

Creating a Hoot of a Card with Adhesive Sheets!

Posted on November 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

I’ve been wanting to use this adorable die for a long time! One would shy away from all the little pieces but with Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12″ from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®, this was SO EASY to create. Let me show you how – best part, no extra tools required to use these adhesive sheets.

A Hoot of A Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

All you have to do is apply the Adhesive Sheet to the back of your material. Just remove the liner, place your cardstock, rub to make sure it’s secured (trim excess if needed) and cut with your die. It’s that simple…

margiehiguchi-500-owlfallcd-step1

I used three mats as my card panel for my 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base. The bottom mat was adhered to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser as well as the dark brown to the smaller mat. The latter mat will be adhered with Crafty Foam Tape White.

margiehiguchi-500-owlfallcd-step2

Now for the fun part, assembling the owl pieces. Just peel the liner off and place on the card panel. I HAD to use the HUGE googly eyes so I used Dodz Adhesive Dots. Can you say PERFECT! LOL!

Center the card panel on the card base and it’s ready to be given away…if you can, he’s so cute!! Solution: make two! LOL!

Let’s Get Festive with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on November 3, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a festive card and a nifty tip to show you how to adhere intricate die cuts using Adhesive Sheets for an easy “no tool” option.

Festive Holiday Card by Christine Emberson

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, re-apply the liner sheet, place your die on top and run through your die cutting machine.

cemberson-festive-2

You have a perfect sticky die cut with a removable backing. No messy liquid glue! I used the same die to die cut a gold version and this created a drop shadow behind.

cemberson-festive-4

Using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable I prepared by card base with an ivory mat.

cemberson-festive-5

To affix to my card front I used 3D Foam Squares – White, Small – these fit perfectly on the back and will hold it in place securely.

cemberson-festive-6

cemberson-festive-7

Added some tiny poinsettias and a sentiment. The finished card.

Warm Up with 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on November 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

amytsuruta-cider1

Happy November!! Can you believe how quickly the year is going?! It’s Amy here with a fall inspired project. Here’s a quick peek at some of my supplies:

amytsuruta-cider

I had fun glittering up the 3D Foam Hearts. Don’t you think they add a sweet texture to the card design? You can’t readily spot the white one on the bunny’s tummy, but it’s there. That was has been covered in white glitter and the other one on the hedgie’s sign is a copper glitter.

amytsuruta-cider2

All the stamped images are adhered with 3D Foam Squares- White Regular. I’ve actually trimmed down the card size a smidge to accommodate the spilling over of the images, primarily the bunny’s ears.

After the watercolored panel was completely dry, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere to my blank note card.

Thanks so much for stoppin’ by!
