Planner Pages

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here with my planner pages for next week. I love planners, have for as long as I can remember. I can’t believe I never thought of making them pretty before! What a great way to combine 2 passions of mine… my planner and my crafting!

When I do my projects I like to include as many supplies as I can – stamps, papers, die cuts…. must get my money’s worth out of them 😉 Decorating a planner is the perfect way to use up some scraps. To mount my stamped image I used the 3D Foam Squares as I always love a bit of dimension in my projects.

The E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips works well for adhering the little bits and pieces.

Are you a planner addict? How do you use yours?

“Be Happy” Mixed Media Card with Pigment Powder

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

Today I want to show you again a mixed media card “Be Happy” with awesome Pigment Powders.

Be Happy card by Stephanie Schutze for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here is how I created this card.

1. I used a watercolor paper and the high pigment powder in Blue, Gold and Silver colors.

I used the Pigment Powders dissolved in water and rubbed with a brush.
These are the three different colors on my background. I cut out the background into stripes and adhered it onto my card with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

2. I created a little flower by using canvas ribbons, lace ribbons, die cut flowers, and a piece of organza and burlap ribbons. I used the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere it together.

3. From threads of canvas ribbons and twine I created this little loop.

4. I used the Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere it onto my card.

5. I used the Adhesive Dots Medium to adhere the flower onto my card.

6. I made some little branches by using a paper punch and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

7. The heart is also a die cut and I used a 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere it.

8. Also this little butterfly is painted by using the gold pigment powder and adhered with a 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

9. For the finishing touches I used die cut alpha letters.

I wish you a nice creative day and want to show you also my projects I made for the CHA 2016 by using different products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® .

Stephanie 🙂

Winter Card

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a simple Winter card, ideal for a friend who has their birthday at this time of year or could be used as a thank you card.

I gathered the items I needed, a white card base with rounded corners, snowflake and flower die cuts, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable and 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

I layered and attached the die cut snowflakes using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. One of the snowflakes is cut from cork which adds another dimension to the card.

To assemble and affix the flower I used 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular and these also worked to attach the sparkly button. It was nice to use a mix of both snowflakes and flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today and don’t forget to check out all the great products on the website.

How to Alter a Tin With Washi Tape

Posted on January 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

I am SO excited to share with you one of my CHA Mega Show projects!

Girlie Grunge Tissue Tape Tin by Margie Higuchi

To give the surface “tooth” to grab on to, I sanded the entire tin with fine grade sand paper which you can get at your local hardware store.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step1

Next I painted two coats of Gesso (dry time between coats) and then painted white acrylic paint. When the paint dried, I went to town! First I covered the base with washi tape in wood colors. Using strips of the tape, I covered about two layers for a wonderful natural color. Repeat the same process with the lid, using washi tape in oak.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step2

For the embellishment, I looped white fabric covered wire twice and colored with brown Pigment Powder Brown and water as the base. Then added gold Pigment Powder and water into a mister to spray the ring as an accent. Place on the lid with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. With two feather and “YOU” die cuts, I used different sizes of 3D Foam Squares White, Mix pack for dimension.

MargieHiguchi GirlieGrungeTissueTapeTin Step5

As the finishing touch, I tied natural colored Twine to the feather’s stem and it’s ready to be given away…

This tin is part of a three-piece ensemble…

Today Is A Good Day – Art Tag With Pigment Powders

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here. This is my first post here in 2016 so let me say ‘Happy New Year!’ (it’s still January so I think I’m allowed lol). Today I have an art tag for you with a beautiful shimmery background I made using gorgeous pigment powders.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King1

I started my background by covering a manila tag with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. I peeled the protective sheet off in stages, tearing sections off one at a time and covering them with different colours of Pigment Powders. From the bottom up I used Silver, Brown, Wine, Gold, Pink, Gold again, Brown and Silver.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King3

Next I stamped the script with Chiffon ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The Pigment Powders reacted with the ink and heat embossing in different ways creating cool colour variations. Next, I added a few pieces of Ash Washi Tape and added some black rub-ons.

I tucked my flower bouquet in a little canvas bag embellishment but if you don’t have one it would be really easy to make your own using Canvas Ribbons. To secure my flower basket I used layers of DODZ 3D. I then added a seam binding ribbon hand dyed with my DIY Pigment Powder shimmer mists.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King2

I also added a small Lace Ribbon trim under the basket adhered with the Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. The smaller rose and berries at the top were secured with DODZ Small. I finished the tag with Liquid Pearls accents and with a quote sticker popped over small Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix Black.

Today is a good day tag_Asia King4

Supplies:

Adhesive Sheets 4×6″, DODZ Small, DODZ 3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix Black

Other supplies:

Stampendous: Cling Vintage Letter stamp, Clear Detail Embossing Powder
Clearsnap MIX’D MEDIA INX – Chiffon
Liquid Pearls, flowers, ornamental berries, manila tag, seam binding ribbon

I hope you like my first project of the year! Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments!

Embellished Mixed Media Canvas

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

Hello everyone! Latisha here with you today. Right now Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L finished up having a booth and teaching a class at the Craft & Hobby Association trade show. This show is where the craft industry reveals new product lines for the upcoming year. The 3L design team provides stunning artwork for the booth, and today I am sharing one of the projects that I created for this years show.

I painted, embellished a 9×11 inch canvas. I call it mixed media-clean-latisha-style lol. I love mixed media, but I also love clean lines and design and seem to over edit. Maybe I need to learn to just let go and add more layers? Anyhow, I do not have a photo tutorial for you, but I will walk you through the steps on how I created the canvas below.

Decide on a photo to use, then select acrylic paints that compliment the photo.
I used, yellow, aqua and black for my acrylic paints.
To get the mixture of colors, I added in the yellow paint right before the aqua paint was dry, to get some green.
Once dry (you can use a heat gun to speed up the process) adhere the photo using Home and Hobby Extreme Double Sided Tape. This is a strong permanent adhesive that will keep the photo in place.
Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable, apply strips of adhesive at the bottom of the canvas.
Sprinkle green and aqua glitter over the adhesive.
This gives the canvas another layer of texture, it looks cool, plus its glitter…super score for me.
Adhere strips of pattern paper using the Double Sided tape again.
Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable, adhere the xoxo diecuts to the canvas.
Apply sequins to the canvas using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small.
Create a title using stickers.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz small

Home & Hobby Extreme Double Sided tape

Lawn Fawn pattern paper

stickers

acrylic ink (aqua, yellow & black)

CHA Mini Canvas

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa “reporting” live from #CHA2016 and sharing one of my mini canvases that I brought to the show with me. I love doing projects like these because you can really get a full use of the adhesive line in a full spectrum of ways that you may (or may not) have thought of before. I hope to spark your inspiration today.

(Why is glitter so hard to photograph? Someone, please tell me. 😉 )

This cute little mixed media piece was created using so many goodies. I colored the gauze with pigment powder (silver) by adding a tiny mixture of water and the pigment.

To make the cloud, I die-cut the shape using 3D Foam Creative Sheets, Mix- Black & White and then coated it completely with the most gorgeous glitter from Fun Stamper’s Journey. It’s super fine and does NOT come off after being burnished in. To make the cloud look more “puffy”, I tucked some Dodz underneath to give it that cloud-like appearance.

The blue background was created with Gelatos® in a few blue shades and a bit of water. Adding shimmer with the pigment powder in blue. Additional interest was then achieved by adding the starssheets. After they were applied, they were dusted with the pigment powder in gold.

I scraped some Glass Bead Bead Glitter Gel onto the surface in a few areas to add some additional texture and shimmer. And I also used scraps of 4″ x 6″ Adhesive Sheets with remnants of silver foil to add high shine.

Here is a close-up:

And saving the best for last is a photo of myself, our Media Director, Beth Pingry, and my fellow Teamie, Margie Fujii Higuchi, at the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® booth! 🙂

Love is Sweet!

Posted on January 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Hey there! Michele here with a lovey dovey card for you! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Nothing gets me more excited than working on Valentine’s Day projects. This means I can use lace, ribbon, unlimited glitter, and my favorite color…..pink! For the focal point I used a large adhesive heart. I placed it on white card stock and then peeled the top off to sprinkle pink glitter. I cut the heart into 1/4 inch strips for visual interest. It was adhered to a water colored panel, and then I added a smaller adhesive heart and sprinkled it with a lighter pink glitter.

Each layer of the card was attached to the next layer using Craft Foam Tape in White. I added a water colored flower, twine, and a sticker sentiment. All of the pieces were adhered using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.

For the top and bottom of the focal point I decided to add a bit of lace ribbon. It added just the right touch! I love this sweet ribbon! And last but not least I added a scattering of sequins.

Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Supplies: Crafty Foam Tape in white, Dodz Adhesive Dots Small, water colors, sequins, sticker,

Valentine’s Day Card of a Different Kind

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a Valentine Card of a different kind I made.

Here is how I created this special card.

1. I used a watercolor paper and the pigment powder in Blue, Brown, Gold.

I used the Pigment Powders dissolved in water and rubbed with a brush. I also used Gesso between.

2. These are the three different colors on my background.

3. I cut out a long version of a card and a background a bit bigger than the layer.

4. I adhered these two pieces with the E-Z Dots® Permanent.

5. For the next step I put together an idea and gathered all the needed material. I wanted to create a scene with a photo and a ladder, and a heart which can be reached. The ladder is hand made out of wire.

6.I used a photo of my daughter and cut off the background of it. The silhouette is then adhered with 3D Foam Squares White Mix over the ladder so that the ladder does not need to be glued.

7. The heart was cut out of a 3D Foam Creative Sheetss using the a heart die and then covered with silver foil.

8. My title I printed with a inkjet printer and glued it on a carton with the E-Z Dots Permanent after cutting it to the correct size.

9. For the finishing touches I used a black pen to draw some grass, a frame and two birds.

It was a fun project and I enjoyed every minute on it.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Frozen Birthday Wishes

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. I don’t know about you but we are having a fabulous winter here and it has me inspired to create many winter themed projects. Today I have a card to share.

I am building up my birthday card stash for kids as I give the students in my class a hand made card and pencil on their birthday. I have a few boys having birthdays this month so I decided a winter card would be perfect.

2016-01-04_1217_edited-1-395x500

I knew the 3D Foam Snowflakes would work well for this, such an easy way to add some interest. I chose 2 snowflakes and removed them from the package and placed them down sticky side up. I then sprinkled with glitter and finally, removed the backing and adhered to the card. I fussy cut the little penguin and then mounted him with some 3D Foam Squares.

To adhere all of the main pieces I used the E-Z Runner® Grand. It is a simple card, but it is for a 7 year old boy, and who knows if it will even make it home 🙂

E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips (150′)
