Scrapbooking Page with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today I want to show you a Scrapbook Layout on which I used Keepsake Envelopes Mix, Tissue Tape Denim and Flower and Art Medium.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_1

Those envelopes are perfect for treasures, little words to keep in mind, letters, findings on your way or at the beach. Keepsake Envelopes Mix comes with transparent envelopes in several sizes.

A few months ago we were on vacation at the Bodensee (south of Germany) and I enjoyed to search for pretty shells and little stones. For these things I used the small envelopes.

First I prepared my Layout. Instead of a photo I painted a boat and for the water I used the Tissue Tape Denim.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_3

On my painting I added a coat of the Art Medium. I so love this shiny look and it gives my painting a great protection.

Then I finished the layout with alpha stickers.

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this technique. For a different look, try this technique with Lace Ribbons in place of Denim Ribbons. This would be cute as hair bow as well. Simply sew it to a hair clip.

Thanks so much for visiting!
Happy Crafting!
Judy

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Happy Friday! After a long, busy week I hope you’re planning to relax and spend time creating this weekend. To help inspire your creativity, it’s Erica and today I’m sharing a layout using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser.

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand I used to be one of those paper crafters that used liquid adhesives to adhere their paper and embellishments together. When fellow paper crafters would ask why I opted for a liquid adhesive I would site a negative past experience with a tape runner/dispenser, you know one of the following: it’s not strong enough to hold my layers together; not refillable; difficult to refill; expensive, etc. I had a laundry list of them (ha!)…and then I tried a Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L dispenser and found myself without excuses. Over the years I have used a variety of our dispensers, but as most of you know from previous blog posts, my one true love is E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser.

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Every layer and embellishment on the layout I’m sharing has been adhered using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser dispenser – even the flowers! Not only does this adhesive hold all of my layers in place it is strong enough to hold those heavier embellishments. It’s also super easy to refill – simply replace the cartridge – plus you get 150′ (that’s a lot of adhesive!).

Love It Layout with E-Z Runner®Grand

Feeling inspired? Great, enjoy your creative weekend and be sure to try our E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips dispenser – you’ll love it!

Forever Wedding Card Tutorial using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

One of my favorite adhesives to use on die cuts is Adhesive Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. For those intricate designs, it is a life-saver and a time-saver! With the etched dies (aka thin wafer dies), it cuts like butah – leaves NO MESS on you & on your dies.

Forever Wedding Card Tutorial using Adhesive Sheets by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I trimmed a piece of white cardstock that fit my die and then applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ to the back. Trim the excess adhesive sheet off and run through your manual die cutting machine. Cuts with no problem/no residue and no mess 🙂 They come in three sizes: 4 x 6″, 6 x 12″ and 12 x 12″.

Next I worked on my background, I colored my card base with Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® (Mango, Watermelon and Raspberry). Then blended with a baby wipe to achieve that trendy watercolor look.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step4

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step5

While the card base dries, I die cut my sentiment “Forever” with textured gold cardstock and Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″. Just repeat my earlier step with the background die cuts.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step6

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step7

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step8

Next I used my test paper (I tested my Gelatos® color combination on a piece of white cardstock) and trimmed to 1.5 x 4.25″ strip. After I edged the strip with Raspberry Gelatos®, I applied adhesive on the back with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″.

MargieHiguchi 500 ForeverWeddingCard Step9

I wanted to create interest with the sentiment so I colored my looped threaded wire with Pigment Powder Pink (I rubbed the wire with leftover Adhesive Sheet before coloring). Small flowers were layered with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium. All were secured with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D.

Lastly, adhere the sentiment, add touches of purple glitter to the flower center and background.

Here’s another look at the card.

Gift Bag with my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Favorites

Posted on August 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. I’ve put together a very easy gift bag project using all my everyday favorites from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. These are the items that I have on my craft desk to hand…always!

C Emberson - Gift Bag 1

Using a store purchased kraft gift bag I affixed some burlap using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 2

The first die cut is affixed in place with Crafty Power Tape, the beauty of this is that it is so easy to remove the paper backing – makes a quick project even quicker!

C Emberson - Gift Bag 3

To the reverse of a second die cut I attached Crafty Foam Tape. You can cut this to whatever length you need and again, removing the backing is effortless.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 4

To adhere small embellishments like buttons and charms 3D Foam Squares – White, Small are perfect.

C Emberson - Gift Bag 5

Each element layered up onto the front of the gift bag. Simple to make and speedy with all my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products.

Clean and Simple with a POP of 3D Foam Squares

Posted on August 1, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello! It’s Amy with a clean and simple (CAS) card. What does clean and simple mean to you? One layer? I consider myself a CAS designer but struggle with one layer cards. I always have the need to add more ‘stuff’.

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-1

Here’s a peek at some of my supplies for today’s project:

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-2

The E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser is definitely a go-to adhesive on all your projects. Are you wondering what I used it on for today’s card?

AmyTsuruta-Sometimes-3

The coffee sleeve was actually fussy cut from a different panel. It’s easier for me to do the coffee cup as a 2 step process rather than masking. I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the sleeve to the cup. The 3D Foam Squares White Regular are great to pop up parts of your design.

Just a Note card Using Dodz Mini

Posted on July 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hi all, AJ here today! Every once in a while, it’s nice to send out a card for no reason other than a hello. I mean, in the midst of the bills, isn’t it nice to see a non junk mail-bill in the mix? When I get a chance, I try to whip up a few at a time to have on hand for this very reason! I often keep it simple and uncomplicated, with the sentiment being the focal point.

AJOtto-JustANote-1

My card today uses the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere my base layer to my shaped card layer. Our 3D Foam Squares is used to pop up all the die cut elements. To finish off the card, I added a few sequins using our Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Mini.

AJOtto-JustANote-2

I love the Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Mini. Its unique patented single dot dispenser provides touch-free application so you can place your sequins on the backing and lay them on your project to for perfect and easy placement.

Have a great Friday and WEEKEND! – AJ

Anchor Away Birthday Card

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing a card with an anchor and old map that has a very vintage look. It’s perfect for someone who loves the sea!

My Kraft card base is 4¼ x 6¼ʺ. I often use this size because it’s slightly longer than A4 card yet not quite as large as 5 x 7ʺ. I rubbed ink along the edges. I added a black layer that was embossed with wood grain folder, a little of the texture shows at the corner. I added 3 brads before fastening it to the card with E-Z Runner Ultra Permanent. This adhesive really sticks! It’s great for a stronger hold on this textured layer. Next, I cut a piece of patterned paper of an old map and tore off the corner. It’s distressed with inks. I used E-Z Ultra Permanent to fasten it. Across the lower part are 3 strips of burlap paper, the ends are peaking out along the edge. These were also fastened with E-Z Runner Ultra Permanent.

Next I took a piece of Gauze, misted it, and added ink to make it vintage looking. Once it was dry, I used E-Z Runner Ultra Permanent in a few spots to fasten it and then continued to secure it with Art Medium.

To make the anchor, I applied black cardstock to one side of a black 3D Foam Creative Sheet. Then I die cut it on paper side. I like to use the 3D Foam Creative Sheet to give it more thickness than cardstock and for the adhesive backing. To give it a bronze color, I used diluted Art Medium and Pigment Powder Brown. The consistency was very watery. I brushed it on and immediately dabbed it off with paper towel because I wanted to allow some black to show. After removing the paper backing, I brushed Pigment Powder Brown over sticky side on chain, tips of anchor and any other area that I didn’t want to stick down. I looped a piece of rough twine through anchor and fastened it in place over the gauze. The adhesive backing really held well on the gauze! The twine is glued in place with Art Medium.

For “happy birthday” die cut, I applied Adhesive Sheet to black cardstock. Then I die cut it. I applied same wash of Pigment Powder Brown and Art Medium as used on the anchor. The Adhesive Sheet makes it a sticker so it’s easy to place on card. (Tip: Be sure Distress ink is completely dry so it will stick.)

I hope I’ve inspired you to try a new technique with this Anchor Away Birthday Card! Thanks so much for visiting!

Judy

Be Amazing Card with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on July 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa on the blog with you today to share a pretty watercolored card, but with an inlaid die-cut using the 3D Foam Creative Sheets (they are just SO versatile). I love making cards like this because it adds a subtle, unexpected touch to a watercolor panel.

LisaAdametz-BeAmazing-07272016-1

I cut more than one piece out using the black foam from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets (black AND white are included in the package) since they do compress in the die-cutting machine. Then the original word “amazing” was placed on top of all of the stacked 3D Foam Creative Sheets giving the desired look as seen above.

I used Adhesive Dots -Mini to adhere the Droplets onto the card. (They are the perfect size for sequins and Droplets!)

LisaAdametz-BeAmazing-07272016-2

After the “Be Amazing” was stamped and embossed it was adhered to the card front using 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small which where cut in half. The twine was wrapped around the panel on the right side and tied in a tiny bow and secured with another Adhesive Dot Mini. All panels were secured to each other using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

Here is one final look at the card. I hope you liked it!

Hello Layered Tag using 3D Foam Adhesives

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here today sharing a layered tag. I love making tags, sometimes more than a card. There is just something so satisfying about making something on a smaller scale with lots of layers.

0716LYhellotag1

The key to my tag making process is layers, especially creating depth by using foam adhesive. Without some kind of foam layer, projects can look flat.

Instructions.

Adhere pattern paper to the bag using E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable.
Diecut all of your patterned papers (banner, circle, tags etc…).
Stamp sentiment onto the grey patterned paper.
Adhere the circle stamped diecut to the blue pattern paper tag using Crafty Foam Tape white.
Adhere the tag to the banner diecut using 3D Foam Squares (white, regular)
Tie twine from the tag to a paper straw.
Adhere the straw to the bad using Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Mini.
