Happy Saturday! Today is my turn on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog 🙂

Always Remember Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using Tissue Tape Ash and Oak set, I covered a piece of white cardstock with Oak tape. Then die cut it to create a card panel.

To adhere my piece of 5.25″ White Burlap, I used Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ Permanent and placed it horizontally across the card panel.

Next I stamped an image over a light patterned paper. To die cut, I placed the coordinating die from the same set and went through my machine. Adhere on top of the ribbon on the card panel with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

With the leaf die templates, I cut with patterned paper to use as accents. Place them on the left side of the stamped die cut on the card panel with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium.

Using Dodz Adhesive Dots, I rolled Crocheted Scalloped Eyelet Trim from the Lace Ribbons round and round until I got the desired look. Just place on top of the leaf accent die cuts on the card panel.

Thank You Gift Bag Tutorial using Adhesive Sheets and Die Cuts

Posted on July 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Happy FRIDAY! AJ here to share a tip on how to use our Adhesive Sheets and Tissue Tape to perfectly align your letter die cuts!

AJOtto-TYBag-1

I love the idea of personalizing any sort of gift bag, party favor, etc. but I know (especially with kids) they just git ripped open and ruined and thrown in the trash. So, I thought maybe a reusable gift bag belly band wrap might work…worth a try, right? 😉

AJOtto-TYBag-2 To get started, you will need your favorite die cuts, card stock, and our Adhesive Sheets, I use the 6 X 12 size because it perfectly fits in my die cut machine.

AJOtto-TYBag-3

Pull back the liner of the Adhesive Sheet, and place the card stock against the sticky part. (Mine extends beyond, so I just trim it off) You can lay the liner back over the card stock and lightly burnish with a scoring tool to make sure it’s all adhered to the adhesive.

AJOtto-TYBag-4
Now, because I am using this to adhere my letters to my project, I want the back side of my letters to have the adhesive. (You can add the adhesive to the front if you are interested in adding glitters, or foil, or other materials as seen here) Lay your dies cutting side down as shown to achieve this. You would simply flip the Adhesive Sheet over and place the dies on the other side for the fronts to be covered in adhesive.
AJOtto-TYBag-5

The end result is this, your letters perfectly cut out with adhesive backing to add to your project!

AJOtto-TYBag-6

When you have individual letters like shown above, lining them up one by one is painful. I often use the Tissue Tape to solve this.

AJOtto-TYBag-7

Lay your letters as you would like them spaced on your mat, and place a piece of Tissue Tape over them to hold them in place. (Die cut is used for spacing template)

AJOtto-TYBag-8

Now, remove backing off each one and you can place down in one perfectly spaced word as opposed to individual letters.

AJOtto-TYBag-9

The end result in two simple steps.
AJOtto-TYBag-10
Next, I have created a belly band to wrap around my bag, and love to use the E-Z Runner® Ultra to hold anything that will be fidgeted with upon opening and reusing. AJOtto-TYBag-11

Next, to add some dimension, pop up varying die cuts to each other using 3D Foam Squares.
AJOtto-TYBag-12 Lastly, adhere a few fun sequins using our perfectly sized Dodz Mini Adhesive Dots. To assemble, I folded the bag over and slid the belly band over and then pulled out a bit on the upper half that I wanted to extend beyond the label. You can slide it up and down to your desired placement.

enjoy! AJ

Shaking Things Up with Crafty Foam Tape

Posted on July 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hello! It’s Amy here with a Shaker Card. I know that the shaker rage has been around for awhile but I still get comments from people that they want to try making them. I think that I’ve made more in the last year than I ever have.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-1

Would you be able to guess what I used for the shaker adhesive?

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-2

Crafty Foam Tape in black! I love a good challenge and wanted to see if I could actually use the black on a white card. Let’s get to the basics of how I put my card together. I started off with the scalloped die cut frame.I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the acetate panel to the die cut frame.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-3

Next up is the Crafty Foam Tape:

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-4

I’m a frugal adhesive user. What does that mean? Well, I literally snip the Crafty Foam Tape to the length that I want it and then divide that strip into thirds.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-5

Cutting it that way makes so that it doesn’t show up in my project. The beauty of the Crafty Foam Tape is that it HOLDS the shape. I’ve used a bunch of different adhesive and not many can stand up to being cut that narrow and not becoming deformed.

The next step is the shaker contents. I pile them onto the base panel.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-6

Then I position the frame die cut to where I want it to be situated. When that has been completed. I finish off the panel with any other embellishments. I decided to top off my card with some crinkle ribbon.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-7

I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere the panel to my card base.

AmyTsuruta-Oceans of Joy-8

There you go! I hope for those of you that haven’t designed a shaker card yet, that this might be the inspiration that you need. They really are pretty easy to make and they packed so much of a punch. It is always fun finding the perfect shaker mix to compliment your design.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolors and Coffee Card!

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a card that truly speaks to me. Coffee. Gotta have it. Every. Day. 😉

liquid sanity

I stamped and embossed the coffee cup in white and gave it a wash of water colors in shades of blue. The flowers were also water colored and assembled using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini (For the smaller pieces) and the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium, to attach to the coffee cup and sentiment.

liquid sanity2

I attached the coffee cup/flower/sentiment to the die cut background using 3D Foam Squares. The card base itself was created using various circle dies and water colored. Each layer was adhered using Crafty Foam Tape. I love the depth these adhesives give to my projects! For my finishing touches I added a few sequins (again, using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini) and a bit of rustic twine.

Little Square Mini Album for Instagram Photos

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today. I love to take pictures and I love the social network in Instagram. There are a lot of creative people and we all share the joy of scrapbooking, cardmaking and mixed media together. Some years ago I made a lot of landscape photos of where I lived and some of them I wanted to archive in a small little Mini Album.

Stephanie_minialbum_1

Here is my little tutorial how I made this little square mini album.

Stephanie_minialbum_2

1 – I prepared some double pages and a cover. The cover is 5mm larger on each side.

2 – Then I made 5 holes equidistantly with a big needle and sewed the pages and the cover together with a baker twine.

3 – I cut the excess thread.

4 – Then I chose some photos for my mini album.

5 – I adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser

6 – And I added some sticker and notes after all.

And here are some inside pages of this album.

I wish you a nice creative day!

How to Create a DIY Mini Sewing Kit from Mint Tin

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello blog friends! It’s Judy here today to share a Mini Sewing Kit created from a mint tin. The last time I traveled I discovered my plastic sewing kit was broken. I decorated this tin and transferred all the supplies into it!

How to Create a DIY Mini Sewing Kit from a Mint Tin

Here are my supplies!

To decorate this tin, wrap washi tape around the bottom of tin. Then wrap TWO layers washi tape around edge of lid.

Fasten a piece of patterned paper to top of the tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ . Add a strip of washi tape to thin cardboard and trimmed it same width as tape. Fasten to tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ. Next thread twine through the top straight edges of the Lace Ribbons. With another piece of twine, tie a bow and secure with a dot of Art Medium to the knot. This will keep the bow from coming undone.

The Lace Ribbons were fastened to top of tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ. Then add a piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the tin with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ. For the inside, add washi tape around the sides of bottom. Patterned paper was added on the inside lid and bottom.

To finish it off, I transferred all the supplies from my broken kit and I have a pretty (and sturdy) Mini Sewing Kit!

Thanks for visiting!
