With Love & Sympathy Card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on September 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hiya! AJ here with a sympathy card for a friend who recently lost her dog due to cancer.

As a dog person, I understand just how much this loss can hurt, and wanted to send her a little pick me up. Who doesn’t love some real happy mail in the mail box?

I added some patterned paper to my card front and then flicked a bit of blue shimmery color onto it using the Home and Hobby by 3L® E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips.

I wanted to keep the design focus on the dog, but not be too blah, so I added a random piece of burlap using the Extreme Double-Sided tape.

To create my dog, I started with a piece of Adhesive Sheet in the 6 X 12 size. I adhered a piece of white card stock to the sheet and burnished it a bit with a bone folder if you like, and then die cut in your machine.

I removed the backing on my dog die cut, and added a mix of black and brown flocking material, in an attempt to mock the colorings of a German Shepard. Once covered to my liking, I used a few 3D Foam Squares to adhere the dog to my stamped rectangle.

I wanted to pop up my rectangle die cut, so I first placed a few strips of Crafty Foam Tape down, then followed with a few strips the same size length of the Extreme Double-Sided Tape in the same size to ensure it held to my burlap piece.

I really like how the dog turned out, he’s clearly not a Shepard, but I still think he’s cute!

🙂 AJ

Sunflower Wedding Scrapbook Layout Tutorial

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! It’s Asia here and today I have a very happy project to share. I was so happy making it that I decided to make a tutorial for you as well :). I’m sharing a Sunflower Wedding layout I made to commemorate a wonderful wedding day I had a privilege to participate in – the wedding happened to be on my birthday, so that’s double happy in my book!

Sunflower Wedding Scrapbook Layout tutorial by Asia King for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The wedding took place in a beautiful setting of Château de Javarzay in Chef-Boutonne in France. The region is famous for its picturesque sunflower fields so there was no surprise these gorgeous blooms were chosen as the flowers of the wedding. And no surprise that they sneaked into my design, too :). So let’s begin!

Sunflower Wedding Layout Tutorial

Sunflower Layout - Asia King1 Distress 2 sheets of coordinating 12″ x 12″ papers as shown. Layer the papers and secure with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King2

Dilute small pools of white and yellow acrylic paint on a craft mat and flick over the page with a paint brush to create splatters.

Mat the photo with some left-over paper using MyStik® Permanent Strips and distress the edges. Trim a page from the 6″ x 6″ paper pad into tree parts. Layer the pieces and secure them with MyStik® Permanent Strips. Add some thicker card to the back to make the collage more sturdy.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King3

Add 3D Foam Squares Black Regular and Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix Black to the back of the collage and adhere to the page. Mount the photo over the collage with 3D Foam Squares Black Regular.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King5

Print a couple of small photos and trim to fit within the small wooden frames. Cover the back of the frames with Adhesive Sheets 4×6” and place over the photos.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King4

Using Adhesive Sheets 4×6”, tuck some lace ribbon under the torn paper ‘V’.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King11

Using 3D Foam Squares Black, Regular and Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix Black adhere the wooden frames to the page as shown (apologies the step photo got corrupted).

Sunflower Layout - Asia King6

Sunflower Details

Create a handful of flowers to embellish your page.

For white daisies, cover small dots from 3D Foam Christmas Shapes or the new 3D Foam Circles with yellow flock and add to the centres of white paper flowers. Snip and ruffle the petals to resemble small daisy flowers.

For white chrysanthemums, cover Adhesive Dots 3D with green glitter and add to the centres of white paper flowers. Ruffle the petals.

For sunflowers – punch several daisy blooms from yellow cardstock and shape the petals. Layer and secure with Adhesive Dots Medium. Paint a circle in the centre of each flower with chocolate paint and allow to dry. Add Adhesive Dots 3D in each centre, cover with Flowersoft and shake off the excess. Gently work the paint into the textured centres. Use only a small amount of paint as you want to add colour without loosing the fluffy texture.

Sunflower Layout - Asia King7

Punch & die cut a variety of foliage, shape the leaves and add to the page using Adhesive Dots Small. Arrange a mix of handmade and designer flowers around the photos and secure using Adhesive Dots 3D.

Embellish the page further with stickers, rub-ons, gems, ribbons and a ‘just married’ banner made from letter beads and craft wire.

Bella BLVD Blog Hop: Pillow Boxes

Posted on September 11, 2015 by Latisha Yoast

Hello! Latisha here hosting the last day of the Bella BLVD & Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog Hop. There has been fabulous inspiration all week, not to mention fun prizes & giveaways.

I made some fun pillow boxes using different Bella BLVD products. They look like they could be tricky to make, but they really are so easy!

Instructions:

Start by cutting the Hello Autumn pattern paper down to 6×6 inches, then die cutting the pattern paper using a pillow box die.
Apply Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable to the strip, and adhere shut.

3. Close flaps, so that the pillow boxes are closed.

4. Decorate the front of the pillow boxes using Bella BLVD stickers, hearts & paper.

5. Adhere the embellishments to the pillow boxes using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape.

6. Continue to add embellishments until all of the pillow boxes are decorated.

I have a slight addiction to making pillow boxes lately. You can put money in them, or candy, use them as place settings…really the sky is the limit.

Fall Treat Bags by Michele Kovack

Wow, I had a hard time deciding which image to use because each one was cuter than the next! I started with the Gathering’s paper for the first box. I loved the cute owl image in the Hello Autumn Daily Details.Then I adhered it to the box using my E-Z Squares®.

The sticker is from the Bella BLVD Halloween Magic Treasures. This super cute bow is Bella Bow Ice. I added a bit more satin ribbon and a button using Adhesive Dots Medium. The bow string and sequin were attached using Adhesive Dots Small.

My second treat box uses paper called, Perfect Pick. I used the cute pumpkin image from Hello Autumn Daily Details. Next, I adhered it to the box using my E-Z Squares®. Then I added the same green sticker border from Halloween Magic Treasures.

The bright sunny bow is called, Bella Bow Bell Pepper. I added ribbon and a button by using Adhesive Dots Medium. The little string and sequin were adhered using Adhesive Dots Small.

BellaBLVD Blog Hop – Housewarming Card set

Posted on September 9, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hiya- AJ here hosting today’s Blog Hop post. Lucky for us, we have teamed up with Bella BLVD this week to focus on their awesome products! Join us Tuesday through Friday for prizes and inspiration.

I decided to use their Family Forever line for my cards today- it’s prefect, I have a friend who sells real estate, and I figured I would make her a little ensemble as a gift for her clients.

For all the card bases, I stuttered with a white piece of card stock, and then used the striped side of the Mom & Dad paper, along with the Happy Home.

Each card is a tad different, I don’t like repeating designs so much! 😉 On my first card, I popped up the layers using Crafty Foam Tape in White. I also used a tag on each one popped up with Crafty Foam Tape in Black, and on this tag, I used Home & Hobby by 3L® Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ and adhered a glittered stripe on the bottom of the tag.

I also created a few thank you’s, figured she could use those for referrals as well as for buyers. Again, these follow the same basic design but with different words. I really wanted to use the fun Crocheted Hearts from Bella BLVD’s Crocheted Hearts Collection, and figured since her daughter just bought a house it was a great reason to use it. The orange ones match up the fun bright papers perfectly!

Layout RELAX and the Blog Hop with BellaBLVD

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today with a warm welcome to our Blog Hop. We have teamed up with BellaBLVD this week. Join us Tuesday-Friday for prizes and inspiration.

Today I want to show you a scrapbooking layout I made with Hello Autumn collection from BellaBLVD.

I used paper from the Hello Autumn collection, also stickers and the cloudy sheet of Invisible (Fresh Air). I blended a bit with a white Neocolor and finished up my page with stickers, a lovely crocket heart and a sketch of a swan I made. It was a quick and easy layout about a day on a lake and as you can see the paper fits also for photos at a beach. 😉

I hope you enjoy our Blog Hop!

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

BellaBVLD Blog Hop – Sneak Peek – Food and Family Layout

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers!

This week we’ve teamed up with BellaBVLD for a fun blog hop! Join us Tuesday-Friday for prizes and inspiration. Today I created a preview using their Hello Autumn line as a sneak peek!

I love the colors in this fall line…. it has the usual orange and browns, but with pops of blue, it’s really easy to use! And of course, my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products helped to stick it all together!

I used the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ to alter the die cut letters with gold leaf and adhere them to the layout. I also used the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to stick the photos and patterned paper down to the layout base.

Here’s a close up of those altered die cut letters:

Girls Birthday Cards

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

School is just around the corner for me here and I am still working on building up my birthday card stash for my students.

I decided I wanted to create some girls themed cards so I gathered my supplies and went to work.

One thing I love about using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips is that you don’t need a lot. I pretty much always sew on my projects so I just use enough to hold the pieces into place while I stitch.

Little girls love bling so I added some sequins to the cards. The Dodz make adding them so easy.

Tip: Holding onto a sequin with a pair of fine tip tweezers makes applying the Dodz very quick and easy then just adhere to the project!

Here are the cards. I love giving hand made cards to my students. I mounted the little cupcakes and such with the 3D Foam Squares.

Products used:

E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable

3D Foam Squares Mix

DODZ – Small

Other products:

Pattern paper and die cuts: Pebbles

Die: Papertrey Ink

How to Create a Grid Style Fall Scrapbook Page

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Hello~! I am excited that it’s September! I love fall and its beautiful colors 🙂 I picked out Bella Blvd’s Hello Autumn Collection as the backdrop to my scrapbook page of my mother/daughter outing in Japan last year, using some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

Let’s start with the background. From the smallest mat, cut: 8¾ x 9″ Autumn Floral patterned paper, 9⅛ x 9¼”, Crushed Olive cardstock and 10⅜ x 10½” Borders Hello Autumn (Side B) patterned paper. Layer all with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips and place on top of 12 x 12″ Time To Rake patterned paper.

Now for the wreath, start with the base. Nest Grand Circles Die #1 (the smallest size die is #1) and Classic Circles LG Die #7 together, secure with washi tape and place over thin chipboard. Cut through a manual die cutting machine. Secure twine end with DODZ™ – Small and start wrapping 4½ yards of twine to cover the chipboard ring. At the end, use another DODZ™ – Small to secure and trim/tuck in the excess twine into the ring.

Cut Oak Flourish die with green, brown and while cardstock. Trim off the leaves from the white cardstock die cut. Color with Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® – Chocolate, Ice Chai, Lemon Lemon, Red Cherry, Tangerine and Cinnamon sticks. I colored on a non-stick craft sheet, spray water and drag the die cuts around for the desired look. After they dry, assemble the wreath using a combination of 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small and Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″.

Place the 4 x 4″ square pictures and embellished wreath (I secured the wreath with DODZ™ – 3D) on the scrapbook page. Then add sticker letters to spell “FALL” in the wreath. Add Creative Photo Corners – Kraft as an accent verses as a functional item for the finishing touch.

Here’s a second look..

Supplies List:
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips, Adhesive Sheets – 4 x 6″, DODZ™ – Small, DODZ™ – 3D, Creative Photo Corners – Kraft and 3D Foam Squares – Black, Small
Patterned Papers and Stickers: Bella Blvd (Hello Autumn Collection)
Cardstock: Core’dinations ColorCore® Cardstock (White and Tim Holtz Distress Cardstock Collection – Crushed Olive)
Dies: Memory Box (Oak Flourish) and Spellbinders® Creative Arts (LF-114 Grand Circles and S4-114 Standard Circles LG)
Coloring: Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® (Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® – Chocolate, Ice Chai, Lemon Lemon, Red Cherry, Tangerine and Cinnamon)
Other: Twine; Chipboard; Green, Brown and While Cardstock; Non-Stick Craft Sheet

Blog Hop Alert: We will be hopping with Bella Blvd. next week (9/7 – 9/11). SO excited to see what everyone will be creating 🙂 Stay tuned to our Blog for loads of inspiration!!

Glitter Striped Happy Birthday Card

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hello everyone, it’s Beth, and I have a striped birthday card full of glorious glitter!

Glitter Striped Happy Birthday Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making a Striped Card

This was a fun one to make! The stripes were created with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″, just like the stripes on this Happy Day card. To make the stripes stand out more, I used a white marker and ruler on each side of the glitter.

BethPingryBirthdayGlitter2

Next I die cut Happy Birthday, and adhered it with Adhesive Sheets 4×6″ that were applied to the cardstock before running through the die cutting machine.

BethPingryBirthdayGlitter3

The flowers, two are simply spiraled denim colored ribbon and canvas ribbon, and the other is die cut thin denim fabric, just like the way I made the roses on this Explore Tag. All are adhered with Adhesive Dots. Additionally I applied E-Z Dots® Repositionable to the denim die cut flower, and added a bit of glitter to it.

Finally, the layers of papers are adhered with Creative Photo Corners, I love to stack them like that, it frames out the card nicely.

Thanks for visiting, be sure to pin your favorite projects and follow us on Pinterest!
