You are Amazing Treat Bag

Posted on May 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hiya! AJ here with a fun treat bag to share featuring the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ Permanent and silver mica and glitter as sparkly accent across the front!

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-1

I love pretty little packaging, and time permitting, I try to create little customized gifts for varying people in my life. With the end of the year approaching, this seemed like a great project for a teacher gift.

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-2

To start, I stamped the background of my bag. I then adhered two strips of Home Hobby Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ Permanent. This is one of my favorite techniques for adding that pop of something different to my projects.

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-3

Trim the ends off and remove the backing. I used Silver Lux Mix mica and glitter on mine but think of the many beads/glitter/flock combinations you have in your craft pile!

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-4

Once the Premium Tape is covered with the silver glitter and mica, I worked on the stamped panel. Using the Crafty Foam Tape – Black, I adhered the panel to its die cut base.

AJOtto YouAreAmazingCd Step4 May2916

To adhere the panel to the card, I used the Dodz™ Medium. I wanted to make sure it was going to stick on that glitter 😉

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-6

You can bake cookies and fill each bag to the top OR add a nice gift card to a certain coffee house inside.

Enjoy!

Patriotic Thank You Card

Posted on May 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Here’s a Thank You card to our military who keep our country safe! Remembering all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and those who serve to maintain that freedom on this Memorial Day weekend!

It’s Judy here today. I’ve created a patriotic “Thank you” card in honor of Memorial Day. With the classic red, white and blue, there’s a bit of sparkle on the stars!

Patriotic Thank You Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Patriotic Thank You Card Steps

First, form a 4.25 x 5.5-inch white card base. Cut 4⅛ x 5⅜-inch piece of white cardstock panel and emboss with an embossing folder.

Cut 4.5-inch pieces of burlap, blue ribbon and red ribbon. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ to long edges on the backs of the burlap and ribbons.

Add a row of 3D Foam Stars to the blue ribbon. Remove the top liners and sprinkle with glitter on top. Press onto stars to secure and tap off the excess.

Attach the burlap to the embossed card panel. Adhere the blue ribbon on top of the red ribbon. Add both to the burlap ribbon. Trim ends even with the card panel edge.

Card Panel Details

Wrap and tie a piece of twine around the card panel and above the red ribbon. Place three short strands of twine over the knot and tie again. Trim ends. Use E-Z Runner® Dots Permanent to adhere the embossed card panel to the card base.

Thank You Sentiment

Cut a piece of blue cardstock large enough to fit thank you die. On the back, cover with Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Die-cut the sentiment through die cutting machine two to three times. Most likely the paper and foam will cut but the backing is uncut. Use tweezers to remove all the excess pieces, leaving the sentiment attached to the backing.

Lay the sentiment on the card front to guide the placement of stars. Apply stars to the top of the card. Sprinkle glitter over stars, press into stars, and remove excess.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front, overlapping the burlap ribbon.

Have a safe Memorial Day!

Thank You Card

Posted on May 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! Lisa on the blog to share a fun Thank You card. A Thank You card is always appropriate and when you make one that uses so many fun elements like this one does, it’s sure to bring a smile.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-1

(sentiment reads: “Thanks a Latte” )

Most of my elements were pre-cut utilizing dies. I find that dies make card making a lot more fun and can really be unique IF you think outside the box a little.

I first stamped my coffee cup with an archival ink and water-colored it using water-color pencils. Then a die was used to cut it out. (Please note: All the other pieces were die cut in advance to make assembly easier.)

Since my paper was already die cut I’m ready to assemble:

Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable adhesive on the back of the white die-cut card stock and the patterned paper the layers are built up on the card base. I like this adhesive a lot because if I make a mistake I can move it right after adhering, but then it becomes permanent.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-4

Next, I wanted to adhere this very thin die-cut ring to a paper doily. Well, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® has the perfect adhesive for that! The new E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. It’s soooooo thin! Only .08″ wide and perfect for circles.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-5

On the backside of the doily (where the ring of the die-cut paper shows from underneath) I laid down a thin bead of glue using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and adhered into place.

I knew I wanted to add dimension to the coffee cup, so I added 3D Foam Squares -White, Regular to the back of the cup.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-6

Before taking off the liner paper and adhering the coffee cup, though, I wanted to add a little feminine bow.

Using the Twine in Pink I doubled up a length of twine and tied it in a bow, making sure the bows are relatively even and trimming the ends. Secure the bow to the doily using a Adhesive Dots Medium.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-7

To give the bow some stability and to keep it from “flopping” my favorite trick is to dip my fingers in the Art Medium and run my fingers over the bows. It truly will help the bow stiffen up without making it look crazy. 😉 Just wash your hands as soon as possible.

Now is the PERFECT time to adhere that coffee cup, too! 🙂

Stamp the sentiment, find the placement, and add some of Tissue Tape as an embellishment.

I had a tiny cup of die-cut glitter hearts so I added one using a tiny piece of a 3D Foam Squares Black, Small. I love the extra added touch of bling.

Here are a few close-ups:

One more….

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-3

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I’m going add a Starbucks gift card to this and give it to a very special friend of mine. I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Adhesive Ain’t Just for Adhering!

Posted on May 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Hello, it’s Michele with three cards using adhesives for something other than adhesive! (Gasp!) Let me show you how to create a stunning dimensional background with 3D Foam Squares and glitter.

As you already know this gal loves lumpy, bumpy cards with a lot of texture. Using the 3D Foam Squares as a background is a fun easy way to achieve that!

Pink and Gold Background Celebrate Card:

Adhesives Ain't Just for Adhering Background Texture Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pink and gold glitter on the 3D Foam Squares White Regular makes a pretty background. Just embellish with a die cut flower, sentiment, lace, sequins, and stars; adhere them with Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots Mini, and Adhesive Dots Medium.

Adhesives Ain't Just for Adhering Background Texture Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

See how I also tucked a twine bow under my flower.

Adhesives Ain't Just for Adhering Background Texture Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Watercolor Background Celebrate Card

I love this technique so much I made two more cards! This one uses gold glitter and a water colored background. Again, I adhered my flowers, leaves, and sentiment using Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots Mini, and Adhesive Dots Medium.

Adhesives Ain't Just for Adhering Background Texture Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Blue Ombre Background Card

For the Blue Ombre card, I used a chunkier glitter in 3 different colors. Embellishments are adhered using the Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots Mini, and Adhesive Dots Medium. The navy twine is a great accent.

Adhesives Ain't Just for Adhering Background Texture Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tutorial for 3D Foam Square Adhesive Background

Here is what I did to create my backgrounds for each card. First, start with a package of 3D Foam Squares White Regular.

I left the 3D Foam Squares White Regular on the original backing sheet and cut it to the size of the background panel. Carefully peel off the tops of each 3D Foam Square. Position the exposed adhesive over the background patterned or water colored paper card panel.

celebrate7tutorial

Once placed over the panel, press down to ensure that each square has adhered well.

Then peel off the top layer to reveal the second sticky side of the 3D Foam Squares.

Next, pick your glitter or embossing powder to sprinkle over the top of each 3D Foam Squares White Regular.

Little Girl Birthday Card

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. It is with sadness that I write this post as my last with the team. I have enjoyed every minute but have to step down. Life has just gotten in the way of my crafting. I have a 1 1/2 year old grand daughter who I see a lot of and I just never have the time to craft like I used to. I want to thank Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for having me and I do hope to get back into regular crafting one day!

Today I have a simple birthday card for you. As I have said before, I like to give hand made cards to the students in my class and am always needing more.

Birthday 7 Card by Laurel Seabrook

I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser as always 🙂 to adhere the main panels to the card.

The main flags and number I mounted with the 3D Foam Squares because I love the dimension they add. To adhere the die cut sentiment, I used the DODZ™ Mini in a few places.

Hi everyone, Christine here today and I’m delighted to be taking part in a blog hop with LDRS Creative. Combining Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, dies and LDRS Creative’s beautiful stamps I’ve made a favor box bag and mini card.

CEmberson - Favor Bag Main

I used a favor box die and assembled it with E-Z Runner® Ultra – this is an ultra strong, permanent, double-sided adhesive in a refillable dispenser. It dispenses a clear line of adhesive and is immediately tacky and perfect for mixed media projects.

I selected LDRS Creative – Just Because stamp set, so many useful sentiments.

To affix the stamped sentiment to the front of my project I used Crafty Power Tape.

I created flowers for embellishments and affixed in place with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small.

LDRS Birthday Card by Laurel Seabrook

I used the die to add a couple of flag layers. I adhered these to the base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. I then paper pieced and colored the image before mounting her with the 3D Foam Squares White Small. Tip: for small areas such as her legs, I cut the foam squares in half 🙂
