Easter Greetings

Posted on March 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a chocolate treat! Creating wrappers for chocolate bars is a real favorite of mine so if you fancy a change from an egg this Easter perhaps a wrapped bar of chocolate for that someone special? So easy to make with all your Scrapbook Adhesives products to hand.

First of all I measured and scored a strip of white cardstock to create the wrapper. Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 inch ensures that wrapper is going to stick for sure!

The red tape backing is easy to lift off too!

I then brought together the items I wanted to use to decorate the wrapper. Check out the lovely bakers twine – this is Twine, four colors in a pack.

I matted patterned paper onto the front of the wrapper using MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Happy Anniversary Card Featuring Adhesive Dots of All Sizes

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! Lisa with you today and I’m sharing a beautiful card that I made for my parent’s 53rd anniversary. I absolutely adore making dimensional cards like these. The Adhesive Dots make keeping all my flowers, sequins, and twine in place so super easy!

Note: Dodz are now Adhesive Dots

Happy Anniversary Card tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Anniversary Card

This is a fairly easy card to make but leaves a very BIG impact with the recipient. I wrap mine in tissue paper and add another flower instead of trying to stuff it into an envelope.

The flowers are adhered together with Adhesive Dots and then to the card itself with the Adhesive Dots 3D. All of the sequins are adhered using Adhesive Dots Mini (I looove these!!).

I also used some of the other new products for this card: the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Adhesive to hold down my “Happy Anniversary” panel. And, also, the E-Z® Runner Grand Dispenser for the patterned paper. I use different adhesives for different things. Not all paper is the same and doesn’t require the same adhesive.

For the twine, I doubled it, wrapped it around the side of the card, tied it in a bow, and slid an Adhesive Dots Mini under the bow to secure it, The pearls and sequins are also secured with the Adhesive Dots Minis.

Here are some close-ups!

Look at how much dimension those rolled flowers give!! And the Adhesive Dots hold them right in place. No glue, no messy strings, no drying time and touch-free application…so easy! Love that! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed my card. (I gave the card to my parents last weekend and they LOVED it, so I’m super happy!!)

Green and Gold Lucky Tag using 3D Foam Products

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all!! Today I am sharing a cute tag to celebrate the occasion by featuring a couple of the 3D Foam products that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® offers.

Lucky Tag Using 3D Foam Shapes by Margie Higuchi

The easiest way to create a four leaf clover is by using the 3D Foam Hearts shapes in their smallest size for this tag. I rubbed gold Pigment Powder on each “petal” for a beautiful shimmery effect.

The stem was die-cut from a flower die (I trimmed the flower off and left its center as a placement guide for the petals). I used the Adhesive Sheets – 6 x 12″ to apply adhesive on the back and placed on my tag die cut.

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step2

I wanted to make the word “Lucky” to be dimensional so I first laid a piece of patterned paper on top of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets. I trimmed only where the paper covered and place the die over it to die cut with my die cutting machine.

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step3

As a result, this tag design was achieved as shown below. BUT I’m not done! I repeated my clover-making process two more times (three is a lucky number for me) 🙂

MargieHiguchi LuckyTag3DFoamShapes Mar1716 Step3A

As the finishing touch, I had to add sequins! Using the NEW Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, it was a perfect adhesive to use for my sequins 🙂

The Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini are double-sided, clear adhesive dots and have a strong bond that makes them perfect for intricate surfaces and small objects such as sequins. Did you know that the box is a unique patented single dot dispenser that provides touch-free application (aka each dot has a liner!).

Just thread a White Satin Organza Ribbon, trim the ends and tie a knot – done! What do you think?

Happy Easter to You Card Using 3D Foam Easter Shapes

Posted on March 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Morning- Easter is quickly approaching so I thought I would make a few cards to have on hand!
AJOtto-EasterChick-1 For this one, I used our fun 3D Foam Easter Shapes, love that little chick inside the egg. 😉
AJOtto-EasterChick-2

To start, just adhere the foam shapes where you like on your project. I decided to use this springy blue and yellow colors to work with.

AJOtto-EasterChick-3

First, peel off the backing of the shape you want covered in glitter, and gently sprinkle glitter over it. While the other shape are still covered, I really try not to get it everywhere. Continue to the egg bottom and also cover with glitter.

AJOtto-EasterChick-4

Next, the middle piece in yellow. There isn’t a right order here, just how I did it. 🙂 Once covered in glitter I added a few 3D Foam Squares the back of my die cut and adhered to my card.

AJOtto-EasterChick-5

I also adhered the words with 3D Foam Squares and used the amazing new Dodz™ Mini for my sequins. I LOVE that they are perfectly sized for sequins!

AJOtto-EasterChick-6 And another close up angle, love the size of the glitter, perfect for these little shapes!

have a great week! 🙂 AJ

BeYOUtiful Mixed Media Canvas using Art Medium and Pigment Powder

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Guest Blogger

Hi Everyone! Carisa Zglobicki here and I’m so excited to be joining you again on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. Today, I wanted to create a mixed media piece for you.

BeYOUtiful MixedMedia Canvas by Carisa Zglobicki

To start my canvas I adhere some canvas paper with Art Medium. Then I added some paint on top. Once that was dry, I added some texture paste and created texture with an empty tape roll. I sprinkled a bit of pigment powder around and sprayed it with water. It moved beautifully and settled in all of the grooves just like I had hoped grunging up my piece.

CarisaZglobicki GDT BeYOUtifulMixedMediaCanvas CloseUp1 Mar1416

To adhere the organza I used the Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4″. For the intricate die, I used Art Medium – perfect as it dries clear and I wanted a bit of dimension for my focal title of this piece so I used the DODZ™ 3D.

Spring!

Posted on March 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning to you! Michele here with a card all ready for spring! Easter is around the corner, we change our clocks forward this weekend, and the temps in Chicago have been in the balmy 60’s! I die cut the egg shape, stamped, embossed, and inked it. I cut the larger circle and adhered it to the egg with E-Z Squares®.

Spring! Egg Shaped Card by Michele Kovack

The smaller circle was cut, inked, and attached using Crafty Foam Tape in white. I alternated the smaller ovals using either E-Z Squares® or Crafty Foam Tape. I tied the bow around the top of the egg and secured everything in place using Dodz™-small.

I used Dodz™-small for the butterfly and sequins too! For a final touch I added a sentiment sticker.

Thank you for popping by today!

Scrapbooking Layout “Swan” with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a simple Scrapbooking Layout “Swan” with my new favorite adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l. I used the fabulous E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser.

Stephanie_LayoutSwan_1

As you can see it’s a very simple Scrapbooking Page with not much layering or different papers. But I have some complex cut outs I needed to adhere. For my sketched swan and the paper waves I used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. This dispenser it’s a permanent, very sticky, double-sided adhesive that goes on slightly opaque and will dry clearer over time. And the important thing is, that the adhesives can be well applied, precisely at the points that are needed, even if your cut outs are round, wavy or with many corners.

Stephanie_LayoutSwan_2

Maybe you are wondering why there are so many swans on this layout. 😉 The page tells a beautiful day in a children’s area where there were many rides. Among other things, there was a swan carousel and my little girl couldn’t stop and wanted to go there again and again. She sat ultimately a few laps alone in the carousel because we had already dizzy. Definitely a memorable day.

Thanks for visiting us today!

I wish you a nice creative day!

Stephanie 🙂

Adore Scrapbook Page Using 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here and I have a layout to share.

I don’t scrapbook nearly as much as I used to, nor as much as I want to…just hard to find the time.

This photo collage is from January of last year… where does the time go? I am normally the family photographer so I am not often in the pictures. I took these selfies of my granddaughter and I so of course I had to scrap them 🙂 Adhering all of my papers and photo is very easy using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips (150′) Home & Hobby.

I then wanted to add some heart accents and the 3D Foam Hearts were the perfect accent as they have a bit of dimension for added interest. I adhered some glitter to the hearts then adhered them to the page, easy peesy! Finally, to be sure the title would stay in place I used some Dodz™ Small.

Easter Treat Boxes

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

Who needs an Easter basket when you can make cute Easter boxes that are perfect for holding sweet treats. It’s Erica and today I’m sharing Easter treat boxes.

I started with a match box die and then scored the fold lines placing pieces of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ along the top and bottom lines. I folded the match box and then tied a piece of Twine around the match box lid.

Using a DODZ I adhered the piece of twine in place. Finally, using Crafty Foam Tape White I added dimension to my embellishment and then centered and adhered it to the top of my box.

I then filled each box with yummy pastel candy corn!
