Gift Wrap Valentine’s Day Card

Posted on February 2, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. It’s the beginning of February, the month of Love! There is still plenty of time to create a heart themed card for that special someone in your life. I’ve up-cycled some pretty gift wrap to create my floral pastel Valentine’s Day card, all easily made with the help of 3D Foam products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, I affixed a piece of the pretty gift wrap onto a 5 x 5 card base.

Using matting dies I die cut a square from brown and white cardstock. Stamped across with a script stamp and tied twine. This is held in place on the reverse with Crafty Foam Tape and also when placed onto my card base adds wonderful dimension.

From pieces of the gift wrap and some scrap patterned paper I die cut various shaped hearts. These will be held in place with 3D Foam Squares Regular and 3D Foam Squares Small. If you purchase a mix pack you’ve got both sizes to hand, perfect!

Valentine’s Love Note Box

Posted on January 31, 2019 by Linsey Rickett

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and my Love Note Box is sure to give you all the heart eyes! Hi friends, Linsey here today sharing this fun and family-friendly Valentine’s project that will have everyone in the house spreading the L.O.V.E.

Valentine's Love Note Box by Linsey Rickett for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Love Note Box Details

Start with a 4 x 4 x 4″ square cardboard box and cover all sides with Valentine’s themed patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This adhesive is the best for paper construction like this project. I always use it on my altered and home décor creations and have never been disappointed!

Decorate the sides with chipboard and puffy stickers. Note that I used 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the back of a few stickers for added dimension and interest.

For the metal feet and crystalline knob were added with Dual Tip Glue Pen and it held beautifully! Make sure to allow full dry time. Mine dried for 24 hours before continuing, and you’ll be impressed at how well this liquid glue works! The feet are super steady and the knob is holding strong, even with it being used daily to open and close the top of the box.

Ideas for the Love Note Box

Place the Love Note Box in the family room so everyone can share a sweet thought or two, an encouraging word of support or just a note to say “I love you” through notes! Add a set of note cards inside the box with a pen and brighten a loved one’s day with words. All good stuff. Bring the Love Note Box out year after year and make it a new Valentine’s tradition. Better yet, leave it out for year-round 🙂

Creative Photo Corner Background

Posted on January 30, 2019 by Christine Meyer

A time for old and a time for new. That’s the theme for today’s post – featuring some older classic products as well as some of our newest products! Christine joining you today to show you how I made the class Creative Photo Corners pair perfectly with our new foils for a one of a kind Scrapbook Layout! But what really stands out is that this scrapbook layout has a Creative Photo Corner Background.

This is a clean style layout but the background is anything but simple!

The entire black and white background that you see is made up of Creative Photo Corners. This was somewhat tedious but definitely not difficult! It just required me to take my time to line things up! All you really need to make it happen though is a ruler and a lot of the Creative Photo Corners!

Close-ups of the 3D Foam Shapes and Foil Accents

Because of the complexity of the background, it was very important that I keep the embellishing simple so that the picture still stood out! I opted for just some letter stickers, one sheet of patterned paper, and some 3D Foam Products. I created the word smile with my metal die cut machine, a “smile” die, and the 3D Foam Creative Sheets!

Finally, let’s take a look at those stars and all the gorgeous Metallic Transfer Foils Variety and Metallic Transfer Foils Holographic packs! With so many new foils to choose from, you can really make your layouts shine!

I decorated all the 3D Foam Stars with foils and it couldn’t have been easier. Simply add the 3D Foam Stars, then peel off the top and set the foil on (the pretty side facing up). You just rub the foil a little and it sticks right to the 3D Foam Products. No extra machines needed!

Thanks for joining me today, I hope I’ve challenged you to think outside the box on things to do on a Scrapbook Layout with Creative Photo Corners!

Thank You Friends Tutorial

Posted on January 29, 2019 by Shannon Morgan

Today I want to share a Thank You Friends card as a thank you from me to you! It’s been quite the experience for me to share my creativity with you all this past year. I appreciate all of your kind comments and checking out my posts on the blog. I hope it inspires you to create and send out those some handmade notes to your friends and family!

Thank You Friends Step Outs

Throughout the past year, I hope my step outs helped you get some good tips and tricks along the way 🙂 Here are my last set of steps!

Thank You Friends Tutorial by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Following along the above steps, you can see how I “built” the card.

Begin with a patterned paper card base and add a white cardstock layer. Make sure to leave a border of the card base peeking through. Then add a patterned paper layer.
Apply 3D Foam Squares White in Small on the backs of the die cut flower centers to create dimension for the card. Then place on top of the flower die cuts. Make as many as you’d like. I created two. Set aside.
Layer a few paper layers such as a vellum layer and two patterned paper layers. Along with circle accents in between. Adhered all and the dimensional flowers with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Add the frame with 3D Foam Squares White in Small to add some dimension to the card. Tab and label stickers were added to the frame. In the final image above, you can see alpha stickers, sequins (secured with the Dual Tip Glue Pen) and other embellishments were used to finish the card.

Valentine Home Decor

Posted on January 28, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Shellye here today with a sweet home decor project using pre-cut wood pieces and scrapbook paper.

Valentine Home Decor Piece Step Outs

Although I ordered my pre-cut kit online, you can find similar designs at craft and hobby stores. Basically, any wood shapes can be dressed with this easy step!

Valentine Home Decor by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To begin, I adhered the Adhesive Sheets 6X12 inch to the backside of the patterned paper. Next, I traced around the wood shape onto the white backing of the adhesive sheet and then trimmed out. Now I have a solid covering of adhesive that will stay put!

After I completely “dressed” the various pieces with paper, I distressed the edges with walnut ink. To mimic candy, I added colorful enamel dots.

I added hand-cut flowers to the hearts with 3D Foam Squares, White, Small. I embellished the center of the flowers with a small button that I attached with Adhesive Dots Mini.

For the turn knob, I used silver Metallic Transfer Foils Holographic and applied it using Premium Double-Sided Tape.

Again, you can dress all types of wooden pieces with this easy method! Thank you for joining us today!

DIY Heart Shaker Card

Posted on January 27, 2019 by Judy Hayes

I have a Love You Heart Shaker Card with lots of shiny foil to share today! Love how pretty the red foil is against the black! This card is perfect for Valentine’s Day which is not far away! It could also be used for an anniversary card.

This card features a heart-shaped shaker created with Crafty Foam Tape Black inside to give space for lots of glitter, tiny hearts, and micro gold beads to shake it. The “Love You” sentiment was cut from 3D Foam Creative Sheet (black sheet) and covered with red foil. Love how pretty and dimensional the words are done that way! If the foam letters tend to stretch because it is a narrow font when removing from the die, cut the words with the die on the printed logo liner side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Mine left a tiny edge of white along the letters in some places so I removed with a point of a craft knife and colored with a red alcohol marker.

DIY Heart Shaker Card Tutorial by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Heart Shaker Card Details

Apply a gold crinkle paper on one side of a 3D Foam Creative Sheet in black. Nest two heart etched dies together and place on top of the gold crinkle paper. Secure the dies with washi tape and die-cut to create a gold heart-shaped frame.

For the card layers, I used black cardstock and a larger piece of red cardstock for a beautiful contrast. I stamped a gold script on the black cardstock panel and fastened to the red cardstock using the NEW E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Love the size of this new dispenser!

Using the smaller heart die from the same heart dies of the previous step, I die-cut a heart-shaped window from the layered card panel. Take the gold heart-shaped frame from the previous step remove its back liner and place around the card panel window.

Die-cut from clear acetate using the larger heart etched die. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8” around the edges of the heart-shaped window on the back of the card panel and place the acetate. Flip the card panel over to place a large 3D Foam Heart on top of the acetate and apply red foil from 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit.

Die-cut the sentiment from a black 3D Foam Creative Sheet and apply red foil. So pretty! Then place three small 3D Foam Hearts in a row and covered them with gold foil. To me, the foil reveal is like magic!

Shaking It Up

For the shaker feature, I cut Crafty Foam Tape Black in half lengthwise to make it narrower. Start with the point of the heart-shaped window on the back of the card panel and apply the two pieces on each side along the edges. Snip the edges of the foam tape so it would bend/shape around the curve parts.

A couple of pieces of the Crafty Foam Tape Black were placed behind the large red foil heart to keep its shape.

Now for the fun part: add all the glittery gold and red pieces into the heart shape! To close, I die-cut a large white cardstock heart and applied Crafty Foam Tape Black to fasten over the back of shaker heart.

Fasten the shaker card panel to a white card front with 3D Craft Foam Tape Black around all the edges and in the center, I added a bit of E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. The final touch was to add a tiny gold cord bow with an Adhesive Dots Micro on top of the large red foil heart.
