BOY Mini Album with Self-Laminating Pouches

Posted on March 25, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Happy Friday! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a mini album I created using the NEW Self-Laminating Pouches/Cards X-Large and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

Making a Mini Album

As you can see I didn’t use the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards X-Large in a traditional way, but instead used the self-laminating cards because they are durable – protecting my mini album pages from damage and making the pages easy to turn.

First, I removed the white paper from between one self-laminating card and adhered the card together. I then cut three 2.5″x9″ rectangles and punched four holes along the left side of each rectangle. Next, I placed a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ on both sides of the self-laminating card.

Then I placed my page along the left side of the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″; I attached page two in the same manner on the other side of the self-laminating card. Using the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards X-Large in this way keeps my pages from being damaged, plus the durability of the card added more rigidity to my album.

I absolutely enjoyed creating this mini album! Using layer after layer of paper, embellishments and flowers, I adhered my many layers with the E-Z Runner® Grand dispenser and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

I hope I’ve inspired you to use the NEW Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards X-Large in a non-traditional way!

All Things Grow With Love

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a quick little spring inspired card! I was rummaging around my desk and happened to land upon these 3D Foam Garden Shapes. I arranged them on a piece of white card stock. I peeled each of the tops off and sprinkled it with glitter. I love not having to mess with glue and such. Just peel and stick! 😉

all things bloom edited

I added a sticker sentiment and adhered my focal point to my card base using Crafty Foam Tape. The coordinating patterned paper were adhered using E-Z Squares® Refillable.

I tied some pink twine to the top and attached a few sequins with the Dodz Mini.

Just a quick, easy card that packs a lot of punch!

Ready for Take Off – Travel Logs and Luggage Tags

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone Laurel here with a travel ensemble.

My husband, daughter and myself are headed to Greece!

In preparation for our trip I created some little notebooks for each of us to document our own views and memories. I also created some luggage tags. Now we just have to count the days!

Altered Travel Notebooks and Luggage Tags by Laurel Seabrook

I purchased a bunch of mini composition notebooks years ago when they were on clearance for 10 cents each! They are perfect for travel logs as they are small and don’t take up a lot of room. Of course they have to be altered 🙂

The first thing I did was create panels to cover the front and back, by cutting a background paper to size. I then decorated the front parts, with layering bits and pieces using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips (150′) Home & Hobby, some Dodz™, along with of course stitching and staples.

To adhere the letters and the planes I used some Dodz™ just to hold them in place while I stitched and stapled.

2016 03 13_2574

I usually like to have some of my items mounted with some Foam Squares but since these will be travelling and possibly taking some abuse, I kept them as flat as I could. To adhere the panels to the notebooks I used some of the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″.

2016 03 13_2576 copy2

Next up I created some luggage tags. These were super easy to do using the Multi-Purpose Tags with Loops. I just cut the paper to fit, adhered our information label and then tucked them in the Self-Laminating Tags.

Now just waiting to go. It is going to be so much fun!

How to Organize Family Activities with Self-Laminating Cards

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you some useful items to organize your family activities using Self-Laminating products from our Home and Hobby product line. I made some helpful Self-Laminating items for the magnetic family calendar board and a birthday calendar with Multi Purpose Tags.

For a better overview on our family calendar I decided to use photos with the family members. Thereby we have a faster and better look, who has what dates. To make the photos more resistant I used the Self-Laminating Cards Small.

Here is how I created them.

1 – You will need a scissors, punches, magnet, Self-Laminating Cards Small.

2 – Punch or cut your photos. I used several photos of our family and cut some in circles, some rectangular and some in freestyle. You can also add a color at the edges to distinguish better.

3 – I used one Self-Laminating card for two photos. Lay your photo inside the card, peel of the protective sheet and pull the adhesive sheet over it. It’s quick and easy.

4 – Cut out your photos with a narrow edge.

5 – Adhere a Magnet. Use self-adhesive magnets or use Dodz™ in this size you need.

6 – Use your Photo-Magnets on your family board.

I also used a Self-Laminating product to create a Birthday Calendar. By using the colorful Multi Purpose Tags with Loops I made for every month a card.

Thanks for visiting us today!

I wish you a nice creative day!

Stephanie 🙂

Oil Pastel Mixed Media Card Tutorial

Posted on March 21, 2016 by Guest Blogger

Hi everyone! Carisa Zglobicki here and today I have a fun mixed media card to share with you and I’m going to show you exactly how I created it incorporating my favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Oil Pastel Mixed Media Card Tutorial by Carisa Zglobicki

I started by pulling out a scrap piece of watercolor paper and adding color with oil pastels. I scribbled random blocks of color and blended lightly with my fingers to soften the background.

CarsiaZglobicki GDT ThinkingOfYouOilPastelMixedMediaCard Mar212016 Step1

Next I added some stamping and since I was using watercolor paper with a lot of texture, I pulled out my stamping tool and black ink.

CarsiaZglobicki GDT ThinkingOfYouOilPastelMixedMediaCard Mar212016 Step2

Washi tape doesn’t stick to the oil pastels because of the surface. But with the Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″ I don’t have to worry because it will stick to anything – LOL!

CarsiaZglobicki GDT ThinkingOfYouOilPastelMixedMediaCard Mar212016 Step3

After I added some additional texture with a stencil and some watercolor medium, it was time to add my sentiment. I wanted some dimension so I used DODZ 3D (clear double-sided adhesive dot).

CarsiaZglobicki GDT ThinkingOfYouOilPastelMixedMediaCard Mar212016 Step4

Once my panel was completed, I was ready to add it to my card base. I used the NEW E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. It’s an ultra strong, permanent, double-sided adhesive in a refillable dispenser. The 42 feet (!) clear line of adhesive is immediately tacky and perfect for my watercolor paper.

CarsiaZglobicki GDT ThinkingOfYouOilPastelMixedMediaCard Mar212016 Step5

For more dimension and texture, I added some cheesecloth with Art Medium. Perfect way to adhere it because it dries completely clear as you can see in this close up.

Easter Greetings

Posted on March 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a chocolate treat! Creating wrappers for chocolate bars is a real favorite of mine so if you fancy a change from an egg this Easter perhaps a wrapped bar of chocolate for that someone special? So easy to make with all your Scrapbook Adhesives products to hand.

CEmberson - Easter Greetings 1

First of all I measured and scored a strip of white cardstock to create the wrapper. Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 inch ensures that wrapper is going to stick for sure!

CEmberson - Easter Greetings 2

The red tape backing is easy to lift off too!

I then brought together the items I wanted to use to decorate the wrapper. Check out the lovely bakers twine – this is Twine, four colors in a pack.

CEmberson - Easter Greetings 4

I matted patterned paper onto the front of the wrapper using MyStik® Permanent Strips.

My die cuts have dimension using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

Happy Anniversary Card Featuring Adhesive Dots of All Sizes

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! Lisa with you today and I’m sharing a beautiful card that I made for my parent’s 53rd anniversary. I absolutely adore making dimensional cards like these. The Adhesive Dots make keeping all my flowers, sequins, and twine in place so super easy!

Note: Dodz are now Adhesive Dots

Happy Anniversary Card tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Anniversary Card

This is a fairly easy card to make but leaves a very BIG impact with the recipient. I wrap mine in tissue paper and add another flower instead of trying to stuff it into an envelope.

The flowers are adhered together with Adhesive Dots and then to the card itself with the Adhesive Dots 3D. All of the sequins are adhered using Adhesive Dots Mini (I looove these!!).

I also used some of the other new products for this card: the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Adhesive to hold down my “Happy Anniversary” panel. And, also, the E-Z® Runner Grand Dispenser for the patterned paper. I use different adhesives for different things. Not all paper is the same and doesn’t require the same adhesive.

For the twine, I doubled it, wrapped it around the side of the card, tied it in a bow, and slid an Adhesive Dots Mini under the bow to secure it, The pearls and sequins are also secured with the Adhesive Dots Minis.

Here are some close-ups!

LisaAddametz-03112016-HappyAnniv-2

Look at how much dimension those rolled flowers give!! And the Adhesive Dots hold them right in place. No glue, no messy strings, no drying time and touch-free application…so easy! Love that! 🙂

LisaAddametz-03112016-HappyAnniv-3

I hope you enjoyed my card. (I gave the card to my parents last weekend and they LOVED it, so I’m super happy!!)

Green and Gold Lucky Tag using 3D Foam Products

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!! Today I am sharing a cute tag to celebrate the occasion by featuring a couple of the 3D Foam products that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® offers.

Lucky Tag Using 3D Foam Shapes by Margie Higuchi

The easiest way to create a four leaf clover is by using the 3D Foam Hearts shapes in their smallest size for this tag. I rubbed gold Pigment Powder on each “petal” for a beautiful shimmery effect.

The stem was die-cut from a flower die (I trimmed the flower off and left its center as a placement guide for the petals). I used the Adhesive Sheets – 6 x 12″ to apply adhesive on the back and placed on my tag die cut.

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step2

I wanted to make the word “Lucky” to be dimensional so I first laid a piece of patterned paper on top of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets. I trimmed only where the paper covered and place the die over it to die cut with my die cutting machine.

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step3

As a result, this tag design was achieved as shown below. BUT I’m not done! I repeated my clover-making process two more times (three is a lucky number for me) 🙂

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step3A

As the finishing touch, I had to add sequins! Using the NEW Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, it was a perfect adhesive to use for my sequins 🙂

The Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini are double-sided, clear adhesive dots and have a strong bond that makes them perfect for intricate surfaces and small objects such as sequins. Did you know that the box is a unique patented single dot dispenser that provides touch-free application (aka each dot has a liner!).

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 StepN

Just thread a White Satin Organza Ribbon, trim the ends and tie a knot – done! What do you think?

Happy Easter to You Card Using 3D Foam Easter Shapes

Posted on March 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Morning- Easter is quickly approaching so I thought I would make a few cards to have on hand!
AJOtto-EasterChick-1 For this one, I used our fun 3D Foam Easter Shapes, love that little chick inside the egg. 😉
AJOtto-EasterChick-2

To start, just adhere the foam shapes where you like on your project. I decided to use this springy blue and yellow colors to work with.

AJOtto-EasterChick-3

First, peel off the backing of the shape you want covered in glitter, and gently sprinkle glitter over it. While the other shape are still covered, I really try not to get it everywhere. Continue to the egg bottom and also cover with glitter.

AJOtto-EasterChick-4

Next, the middle piece in yellow. There isn’t a right order here, just how I did it. 🙂 Once covered in glitter I added a few 3D Foam Squares the back of my die cut and adhered to my card.

AJOtto-EasterChick-5

I also adhered the words with 3D Foam Squares and used the amazing new Dodz™ Mini for my sequins. I LOVE that they are perfectly sized for sequins!

AJOtto-EasterChick-6 And another close up angle, love the size of the glitter, perfect for these little shapes!

have a great week! 🙂 AJ

BeYOUtiful Mixed Media Canvas using Art Medium and Pigment Powder

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Guest Blogger

Hi Everyone! Carisa Zglobicki here and I’m so excited to be joining you again on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. Today, I wanted to create a mixed media piece for you.

BeYOUtiful MixedMedia Canvas by Carisa Zglobicki

To start my canvas I adhere some canvas paper with Art Medium. Then I added some paint on top. Once that was dry, I added some texture paste and created texture with an empty tape roll. I sprinkled a bit of pigment powder around and sprayed it with water. It moved beautifully and settled in all of the grooves just like I had hoped grunging up my piece.

CarisaZglobicki GDT BeYOUtifulMixedMediaCanvas CloseUp1 Mar1416

To adhere the organza I used the Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″. For the intricate die, I used Art Medium – perfect as it dries clear and I wanted a bit of dimension for my focal title of this piece so I used the DODZ™ 3D.
