Vacation Scrapbooking with a Rainbow Palette

Posted on August 1, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun and colorful scrapbook layout that I created using the Squeeze in Some Fun collection from Photo Play Paper. I recently spent 2 weeks on vacation with family and came home with hundreds of pictures. Many of the photos will make fantastic single and multiple photo scrapbook layouts. However, there are several great memories that I documented with only one photo. Rather than leave these photos on my memory card, I decided to print them in small size and make a collage style scrapbook page.

Vacation Scrapbooking with a Rainbow Palette by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I unified random vacation memories using a rainbow color palette to create a cohesive design. This mix of pink/orange and green/blue photos makes me happy! By organizing individual memories by color, I was able to record 8 events on 1 page. Paired with each photo is a journaling speech bubble with additional information.

Embellishing Vacation Photos with Color

I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive to attach rainbow vellum speech bubble embellishments under each vacation photo. This adhesive goes on slightly opaque and will dry clearer over time. After I added journaling to each speech bubble, I applied cardstock stickers onto some photos in hues to match the patterned paper beneath.

I added height and color over some photos in this design with puffy stickers.

Dimensional Details

I pieced the title for this page together with cardstock stickers and words that I cut by hand from die-cuts and patterned paper. I attached the title to the page using the White Mix of 3D Foam Squares. A Black Mix of 3D Foam Squares is also available.

I used cardstock stickers to embellish the main journal card on this page. Even thin stickers help create dimension. I placed these stickers over the vacation journaling so that they would blend with the rainbow background beneath.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’d love to see your vacation photos! Be sure to share your work with us by tagging Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L on social media.

First Day of School Scrapbook Page Tutorial

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Guest Blogger

Hey there everyone! Latrice Murphy back with you all 🙂 In true Summer fashion and following in the footsteps of retailers, I’m already thinking about back to school! Crazy right? We’ve been enjoying Summer here in the Chicago area, but this mama of three is going a little nutty. There is still lots we want to do, but I’m looking forward to my quiet time again.

As a photographer it’s important to me to get a First Day of School photo each year. This past year I snapped photos of my boys before they went off to school together. I love this electronic cut file in a hexagon motif that I used it to complete this First Day of School Scrapbook Page. Enjoy the process and all the colors on this one!

Beginnings of a First Day of School Scrapbook Page

First Day of School Scrapbook Tutorial by Latrice Murphy for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 1

I began this layout by cutting the chosen hexagon design from white cardstock as well as school themed patterned paper. Then using scissors I cut each hexagon out and placed them over the white to add more color and patterns to just the one die cut. I love this mix of patterns and colors.

First Day of School Scrapbook Tutorial by Latrice Murphy for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 2

I printed two 4 x 6-inch First Day of School photos for the larger open hexagon designs. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere the photos to the back. Then I secured the photo even more with strips of E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to the patterned paper. Trim off any excess photo you don’t need.

Next on this layout I cut thin strips of school themed patterned paper to create a border on all four sides of the layout. I chose a bold solid blue for the backing.

Photo Inspired Birthday Card

Posted on July 29, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Hello creative friends, Judy here! I am sharing a birthday card idea inspired by a photo my sister took. This photo inspired birthday card came about when my mom asked me to print a photo of their flag. She wanted to use it as a card for a friend who’s a veteran. Of course, I couldn’t just let her give it as is. So I made a quick card with it. It’s super easy!

Photo Inspired Birthday Card Step Outs

To make this card, I used a white 5 x 7-inch horizontal fold card base. On top of the card base, I layered patterned paper cut slightly smaller secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill. I love that you can easily pop in and out the adhesive refills!

View this quick How to Use and Refill the E-Z Runner Grand Dispensers video below.

The photo is fastened to a red mat before layering it onto the card. E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill was used to apply adhesive to both. A triangle of red cardstock with a star brad is fastened to top left corner.

Photo Inspired Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, stamp the birthday sentiment with black ink on white card stock and die cut. I fussy cut a red mat to fit behind it for a finished look. Then fastened the red mat, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill. To add a nice dimension behind the sentiment, I cut a small piece of Crafty Foam Tape White for perfect placement!

Do you have a picture that can be used as a card front? Give this idea a try and share with us.

Have a Wild Birthday Card

Posted on July 27, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Hello, Shellye McDaniel here today with a “Wild” birthday greeting. This is a fun card loaded with layers and cuteness that will bring a smile to the lucky recipient.

Have a Wild Birthday Card by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Wild Start of a Card

To begin I stamped the “Wild Texture” Cling Stamp onto a 2.5″ X 5.25″ piece of white cardstock. I chose the yellow pigment ink from the Petal Point ink pad.

Next, I stamped the cute lion image and colored in with alcohol markers. I die-cut the image using the dies that coordinate with the stamps. Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of green cardstock.

After stamping I began to build the scene with other dies from the set. I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium and trimmed into 1/8″ strips. The strips were used to attach the round frame onto the blue background paper.

I cut a second frame and used the sprigs of grass to layer on top of the other with 3D Foam Squares, White, Small. The ribbon bow was attached with Adhesive Lines and the alpha beads attached with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Assemble the card with a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Crafty Foam Tape White. For the buttons, I used Adhesive Dots 3D.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this “wild” card!

How to use Flock with 3D Foam Shapes

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like to stamp? I stamped a sweet sentiment, “Sending you Smiles Across the Miles” and embellished the card with 3D Foam Shapes. With a variety of 3D Foam Shapes available, they are the perfect accent for adding a little something fun such as flock to different paper crafted projects.

How to use Flock with 3D Foam Shapes by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This card was easy to make! Here’s how you can make one like it.

Setting Up for the Flock and 3D Foam Shape

Start by cutting several strips of white cardstock and sponging ink onto each one. I wanted to make a rainbow card so I used red, pink, orange, yellow and green inks. You may want to use a different color combination than me.

How to use Flock with 3D Foam Shapes by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 1

Set the paper strips on scratch paper. Worried about them moving around? To keep them from shifting as you stamp, try using the E-Z Dots Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to put a little temporary adhesive under them. This allows you to lift and move the papers without damage. It holds strong until you decide to remove it.

How to use Flock with 3D Foam Shapes by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 2

Stamp an image onto the cardstock strips with black ink and then adhere the cardstock strips to a card base.

Create a sentiment panel for your card by cutting a strip of cardstock and stamping a phrase onto it. Place two strips of Crafty Foam Tape on the back of a panel and add a small scrap of thread to it. Adhere the panel onto the card.

Embellishing with 3D Foam Shapes

Now, it’s time for the fun stuff! You are going to add a few 3D Foam Shapes to your card. For this card, I used 3D Foam Butterflies since they compliment the flower so well.

You can embellish the shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil, glitter and more. I chose to add a layer of white flock to the top of each butterfly. I love the soft look the flock adds.

For this second card, I created a sweet little stamped scene of animals. Rather than butterflies, I added some 3D Foam Hearts to the design.

Once again, I added white flock to the 3D Foam shapes.

Tips and Tricks to Dimensional Scrapbooking

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back, scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have a pretty “Escape” layout. Keep reading for tips and tricks for creating dimensional scrapbooking layouts with tricky to adhere products.

Tips and Tricks to Dimensional Scrapbooking by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dimensional Scrapbooking Tips

When I create a dimensional scrapbooking layout with lots of embellishments, firstly I grab my E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser for all of my paper on paper layers. Because this will make sure that all of those base layers are super strong to hold all of the smaller layers and bulky embellishments.

Once I adhere my base layer, I fussy cut that large doily-like pattern from the same paper collection. Using adhesive only at the bottom of the vellum piece, add it just above where you would like the fussy cut doily to end up.

For extra dimension on this scrapbook layout, adhere the doily to the base layers using Crafty Foam Tape White. Fussy cut another smaller corner portion of the same piece of paper and adhere it to the top left-hand corner, again using Crafty Foam Tape White. Next fussy cut a strip of the gingham pattern to create a border of sorts and add that across the popped up doily pattern using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size on the ends.

Mat the cropped 4×6 photo in white cardstock, white patterned paper and then white cardstock again. Use ink to distress all of the paper edges on these layers. Adhere the photo to the first layer using Creative Photo Corners White, this frames the image beautifully. Then add that to the next layer using Crafty Foam Tape White, and the final layer using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Now add a couple of die cuts and patterned pieces just under where the matted photo goes, using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the matted photo to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Even More Dimensionals

Add small pieces of cheesecloth to the left and right of the matted photo using Adhesive Dots Medium. Then place clusters of flowers to the left and right of the matted photo using Adhesive Dots Large. These Adhesive Dots are beautifully sticky for adding the paper and fabric flowers, perfect for dimensional scrapbooking! Now adhere the leaves around the flowers using Adhesive Dots Medium and Adhesive Dots Large.

Finally, place an acetate butterfly to the left of the matted photo using a couple of Adhesive Dots Micro. In the top left-hand corner of the layout, adhere a small piece of cheesecloth, a couple of flowers and a small chipboard embellishment. I hope this helps the next time you are dimensional scrapbooking.

Winged Love Card Tutorial

Posted on July 17, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a love card, made with the 3D Foam Wings. This gorgeous and intricate Winged Love Card is full of elegance with a vintage touch. I would like to share how I made this romantic card. Please enjoy my tutorial!

Winged Love Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Winged Love Card Center Piece

Start by die-cutting and embossing an oval patterned panel. With the 3D Foam Wings, to make sure I adhere them on straight and centered on the panel, I drew a line onto the oval with a pencil and a ruler.

Now adhere the 3D Foam Wings in stacked layers onto the panel: first two sets of large wings and then two sets of smaller wings. With each additional layer, remove the liner from the wing below it.

To create an angle in the wings I softly pushed all the ends of the layered wings to adhere to the oval panel. Remove the top layer’s liner and you are ready to embellish the wings with sparkle.

Now sprinkle a lot of white glitter onto 3D Foam Wings and softly rub it into the adhesive on the wings. Remove the excess. A concept called “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” – bringing your adhesives from between layers of a project to the outside and create unique embellishments like these wings!

Making the Card Base

Start by making a white rectangle shaped card base with a top fold, and adhere upon a slightly smaller die-cut grey panel using Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft.

Then die-cut/emboss a slightly smaller patterned rectangle panel and leave the die-cut in die-template. Next ink the edges with brown ink and an ink blending tool and then remove the die-template. Now adhere the panel to the card base using the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft.

Then die-cut a golden intricate oval shape from gold cardstock and adhere to the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and adhere the winged panel on top, also using 3D Foam Squares White Mix to give it a little lift.

Embellishing the Card

I decided to add ribbon after having put together all the layers. Add Crafty Power Tape onto the back of two pieces of white satin ribbon. Then remove the liner and carefully tuck a piece of ribbon under the intricate die-cut on each side, and then fold the ends around the card.

To adhere the flowers onto the wings use Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin.

To adhere the stamens use the HomeHobby™ by 3L Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Adhere the satin bow with Crafty Power Tape. To finish, add some self-adhesive pearls and word stickers. And…voila…your Winged Love card is ready.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a super fun and punny birthday flip card. Almost all of my nieces and nephews, both of my parents, and one of my daughters celebrate birthdays during the Summer months. I can never have too many birthday cards on hand. I used an interactive flip design and the fantastic No Pun Intended collection from Photo Play Paper to create this card.

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L When creating papercrafts that need to hold up to lots of handling, I prefer the Ultra Strong varieties of adhesive.

Building a Flip Card Base

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - How to Cut a Flip Card Base from Cardstock To begin, cut a cardstock card base that measures 10 x 5 inches. Then, score the cardstock 3 3/4 inches from the left and 4 3/4 inches from the right side of the cardstock. Next use a pencil to draw a rectangle onto the card base, 1 inch down from the top edge of the card and 1 1/2 inches from both sides of the score line. Draw edges that measure 2 7/8 inches down from the top edge of the rectangle and then back in to both score lines. Then carefully use scissors to cut along the edges of the rectangle shape. Stop the cutting at the score lines. Fold the cardstock forward over the right score line. Finally, fold the cardstock back over the left score line.

Adding Color and Pattern to the Card

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - How to Add Patterned Paper to a Flip Card Start by cutting a cardstock mat for patterned paper to fit in a strip along the center of the card. Cut a 2 x 6 inch piece of cardstock at 2 1/2 inches. This cut creates a 2 x 2 1/2 inch and 2 x 3 1/2 inch piece of cardstock to center on either side of the card base.

Next, cut patterned paper to fit inside the cardstock strip along the center of the card. Cut a 2 x 6 inch piece of patterned paper at 2 1/2 inches. This cut creates a 2 x 2 1/2 inch and 2 x 3 1/2 inch piece of patterned paper. Trim about 1/8 inch from each side of the patterned paper pieces and center onto the cardstock strip.

Finally, cut a cardstock squares that measures 2 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches. Secure this square to the center of the flip portion of the card. Next, cut a piece of patterned paper to measure 2 3/4 x 3 7/8 inches and secure it to the inner rectangle space of the card.

Adding Punny Embellishments

The Photo Play Paper No Pun Intended collection is bursting with silly puns and goofy sayings that are sure to tickle anyone’s funny bone. This hilarious collection is super fun to work with!

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - How to Adhere Felt Embellishments with 3D Foam Squares To play up the birthday theme, attach felt candles to the front of the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares.

TIP: You can cut the 3D Foam Squares (or any of our 3D Foam) in half to fit inside the edges of narrow embellishments.

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - Interactive Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card with Cake and Candles Use a Small Adhesive Dot to attach a vibrant ribbon to the front of the card.

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - Inside of Card

Secure a cake die-cut to the inside of the card. 3D Foam Circles are great for embellishments with curved edges. The sentiment under the cake reads, “You want a piece of me?”

Punny Happy Birthday Flip Card by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L - Outside of Card This card is so fun to flip! Creating a stack of punny cards is easy with this design and the great images and sentiments from the No Pun Intended paper collection. Thanks for stopping by today!
