Onto a piece of patterned paper I positioned a die cut and then affixed washi tape in a horizontal line.

To overlay a second die cut I used 3D Foam Squares White Regular to add dimension.

Affixed some die cut flowers for decoration with pearls to middle and it’s a finished card!

Many Birthday Blessings Card featuring Adhesive Sheets

Posted on August 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Sending many birthday blessings through this layered card I created featuring Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesives Sheets. Not only can you die cut with these sheets but you can easily carry them to your craft gatherings without the bulk of a machine or tool (LOVE that!!).

Many Birthday Blessings Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First I die cut my pieces with patterned paper (card panel and frame) and cardstock (background accent piece and sentiment).

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step1

I applied my background accent piece with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ by pulling the liner back, placing the die cut on the sticky white surface and then placing back the liner to rub the die cut between the two sheets. Remove the liner and pull off the die cut (with its back covered in adhesive). Center the die cut on top of the card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step2

Next apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on the back of card panel and adhere to A2 size card base.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step3

Add adhesive on the back of the frame die cut using the process as background accent piece with the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ and center the die cut onto the card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step4

Stamp the sentiment onto the die cut and add 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular on the back. Center onto the frame die cut on card panel.

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step5

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step6

Add trinket butterfly pin on an angle behind on the lower left side of frame die cut (the adhesive sheet adhesive will secure it as well as the Dodz™ Adhesive Dots 3D as explained below).

MargieHiguchi 500 BlessingBirthdayCd Aug1716 Step6A

For the finishing touch, place a Dodz™ Adhesive Dots 3D on the back of a flower embellishment and place on top of the trinket butterfly pin.

Here’s another look at the finished card!

Halloween Pillow Boxes using E-Z Runner® Ultra

Posted on August 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello AJ here with some super cute Halloween pillow boxes that I assembled using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser – one of our NEWEST products!

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-1

I have always had a love for creating Halloween projects, I can’t seem to put my finger on as to why, but it’s hands down my favorite holiday to create for. And while it seems a bit early still (pretty much the hottest day in the summer we have had to date), I thought it would be a good time to get a start on the fun little treat containers for my fave holiday!

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-2

For anything box related I always use my E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. Its clear line of adhesive is immediately tacky and perfect for use on mixed media and paper construction such as boxes, books and other 3D projects. Of course, great for cards and scrapbook pages too 😉

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-3

I stamped and cut out some cute little spooky images to pop up on to my circle die cuts using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-4

I wanted to add some texture to them, so I covered my ribbon strips in Art Medium and set them aside to dry before adhering using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ Permanent.

AJOtto-HalloweenPillowBoxes-5

Once all completed and dressed up with a few sprays of sparkles, fill with your favorite treats and goodies! And I suppose if you have a different favorite holiday, you could always customize them to your liking. 😉

Enjoy!
AJ

Coffee + E-Z Runner® Grand

Posted on August 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 1

Happy Saturday! How do you like to spend your weekends? I love to spend mine with family, friends and crafting! I have a super quick card to share with you! Here are some of the supplies I gathered:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 2

I started off with way more supplies than I actually used. Are you like that? I tend to be a collection girl and when I pick up a paper pad, I throw in the other coordinating products. Today’s card ended up being a bit more ‘clean + simple’ than I had originally thought.

My go-to adhesive is definitely the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 3

I love cards with POP. So when I thought about how I wanted to adhere the coffee mug, I knew it needed to be on Crafty Foam Tape White:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 4

If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m a coffee-a-holic. I did want to share this fun design element:

AmyTsuruta_Creative Fuel 5

I inked up the bottom of my coffee mug with a soft brown ink and stamped it directly onto my sentiment strip.

Something that I tend to forget is embellishing the envelope. I always love it when I open up a card and there is an envelope liner:

Here’s my finished project:

Thank you so much for stoppin’ by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Floral Hello Card

Posted on August 11, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi there, my crafty friends! It’s Lisa on the blog today to share a floral hello card that I made using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products and a few others, too.

LisaAdametz-FloralHello-08112016-1

Since I’m known to be wordy (yes, it’s true — shocking, I know) I decided against a tutorial and to just break down the process. I thought it would be much easier. It’s not a difficult card to make. Just a lot of steps and products. Which is GOOOOOD!! 😉 (Well, the products anyway.)

Stamp and emboss the sentiment using Versamark ink and a gold embossing powder. Heat set. Die-cut using a circle die.
Die-cut scallop circle from yellow floral patterned paper (this creates an open “ring”)
Die-cut another circle to fit behind the patterned paper using white cardstock. Adhere the patterned paper in place using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Now adhere the smaller circle on top using 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular. (Set this piece aside.)
Using the Pennant Set , die cut a rolled flower out of the canvas and a rolled rose out of the denim. I also chose to create another rolled rose out of felt. Secure the ends using DODZ Adhesive Dots 3D. Set the flowers aside.
Using a fish-tail banner die, use that to make a beautiful fish-tail banner out of blue gingham patterned paper.
Cut a strip out of the yellow patterned paper to fit the center of the card.
And now? Assembly. Adhere the yellow patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser onto a navy card base.
Cut and adhere two tiny strips of white cardstock to fit either side of the yellow patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.
Attach 4 random strips of the Tissue Tape in Denim along the sides of the card.
Wrap the fish-tail banner in a doubled length of the Twine in Natural and tie in a small bow at the top. Adhere to card front using E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.
Secure additional 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular on to the circle piece that was previously set aside and adhere onto the card front.
Now, to secure the flowers I used the Art Medium. Since the flowers are fabric/felt they can occasionally be tricky to hold onto cards. I find that using an art medium is really the best thing to use. Just paint a nice blob on the back and hold it in place for a few seconds, allow it to dry. Those flowers will not go anywhere. Yay! (I also used the Art Medium to hold my little pearl for the center of the felt flower.)
The last thing that I did was secure a few sequins to the card using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

See? Like I said, lots of steps but, a very simple card to make! Especially if you have the right adhesives! 😉

Here’s a couple of other views for you!

Coffee and Watercolors!

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

coffee

Good morning my crafty friends! Michele here with a fun and simple coffee card! I had to pay homage to my fellow DT member Amy 😉 We LOVE our coffee! I stamped the coffee cup and rings in brown ink and used my Zig water color markers to add splooshes of color around it. Once it was dry I used my Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Mini to adhere my sequins and to keep my twine in place.

I layered the water color panel over a piece of pink and then the kraft card using Crafty Foam Tape in White. It gives an otherwise simple card a bit of depth.

Thank you for popping in today!!

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.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_2

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.

Stephanie_Layout keepsake_5

Then I finished the layout with alpha stickers.

Thanks for visiting us today! I wish you a nice creative day!

judy_hayes_denim_and_ribbon_box_topper-14

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!
