It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a tag I created using Crafty Foam Tape White.

First, I traced, cut and adhered pattern paper to the base of my tag using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser. Next, I adhered two more layers of pattern paper using Crafty Foam Tape White to give my tag dimension.

I finished my tag with flowers, chipboard pieces and a sentiment using Crafty Foam Tape White to hold these larger embellishments in place.

Life is Good – Inspired by Myself!

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Hey there! Michele here with a fun way to use your adhesives! Last year I had created a Fourth of July card using the 3D Foam Squares to create the flag. So I wanted to do a take on that. I wanted to create a background using the Thin 3D Foam Squares and the Crafty Foam Tape in White. It served as a fun, textural base for my flowers and sentiment.

And the best part? It has double sided adhesive! So one side sticks to the card, while the other side can be sprinkled with all sorts of fun stuff! Like glitter! Flock! Micro Beads! I of course chose glitter because a person can never have enough sparkle in their life! 😉

Want a quick tutorial on how I created my card?

First, you need to grab some Thin 3D Foam Squares and your Crafty Foam Tape!

Then decide on a pattern. I liked the idea of stripes of some sort.

I wanted to have a sort of rainbow look for the background, so I thought of the acronym, ROYGBIV, and pulled out my coordinating glitter colors. I started with my darkest colors first. I peeled off just the squares I was adding glitter to.

For the long strips, I wanted a clear glitter….

I love all of the sparkle….but maybe it was a bit too much? NAH!

After water coloring my flowers I pulled out my Dodz™ Small to stick to the back of each flower and leaf, as well as my sentiment!

I also used my Crafty Foam Tape to adhere my rainbow colored/flower panel to the card itself. I love dimension and this tape is perfect for that!

Here is one more peek at my card! I hope I inspired you to think of adhesive as a way to create some pretty cool backgrounds!

Supplies:

Crafty Foam Tape-White
Dodz™ Small
Thin 3D Foam Squares-White
E-Z Squares®
Glitter
Pearls

Father’s Day Card – You’re the Best!

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers!

It’s Angela today sharing a tutorial for this clean and simple Father’s Day Card:

angela ploegman fathers day card final_edited-1

I’ve been playing with negative space a lot lately and this card is another example…here’s how I made it:

1. Gather your supplies – you’ll need Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″, Crafty Foam Tape White and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. In addition to the sticky goodness listed above, you’ll also need a patterned paper, solid card stock, alphabet dies, sentiment stamp and some ink.

2. Make an A2 top fold card base (4.25 x 5.5 inches) from the patterned paper. Cut a 4.0 x 5.25 rectangle from the solid card stock. Round two corners on a narrow side of the rectangle.

3. Apply the Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″ to the back side of the solid card stock. You’ll have to peel up the yellow protective layer, insert the card stock and then allow the yellow layer to fall back into place.

4. Remove the yellow protective layer completely. Remove the excess exposed adhesive by rubbing gently with your finger. Arrange the alphabet dies onto card stock.

5. Tape in place and die cut. I like using adhesive backed card stock for this step as the die cut letters come out self adhesive this way, ready to use on another project!

6. Stamp the sentiment onto the card front.

7. Flip over the card front and apply the Crafty Foam Tape White. I like to reinforce along the top, bottom and die cut edges for a good amount of support.

8. Adhere to the card base flush with the top fold. Use the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the negative spaces in the die cut letters.

And you’re all done! Super quick and easy….just in time for Dad’s big day!

Be Happy Card featuring my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Products

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Be Happy card. I also want to share with you my absolute favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

First off E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable. This has to be my most used adhesive in my craft kit. The dispenser is comfortable to hold and because the adhesive is in strips it can be applied exactly where you want it. Makes matting super quick, I’ve used My Mind’s Eye – On Trend paper affixed to kraft cardstock.

To affix die cuts I always turn to 3D Foam Squares, here I’ve used 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. These add just right the amount of dimension and are so easy to remove from the paper, no fiddling about for ages!Next for smaller embellishments, Dodz™ are the answer. Again easy to apply and you have such a good supply in each box. Remember you can sprinkle these with glitter too!

My finished card.

Don’t forget to check out all the other products too, all equally brilliant!

Father’s Day Card – I Heart Dad

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth! Can you believe it’s almost Father’s Day? While making this card I had a few classic Dad-isms in my head, so I’ll share them here too.

Beth Pingry Father's Day Card

My dad is a pretty classic guy, likes cars and boats and while he grumbles about it, he enjoys tinkering with them…most of the time. With that in mind, I went with a car themed card. I had to dig pretty deep, but I knew I had paper with cars. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so we don’t just go out and buy another stack of paper, right?

BethPingry-FathersDay-2

Dad’s a little rough around the edges, so the burlap made a nice border that doubles as a road. I had to add the keys, those are Dad’s most prized possessions. You know you had to do the dishes and finish your homework before heading out in Dad’s car. Be home before midnight, and don’t go wasting gas. He’s watching the odometer, you know.

BethPingry-FathersDay-4

These are the Keys, and I rubbed the Brown Pigment Powder onto both sides of the black keys. This set comes with one white and one black sheet of keys. They dangle on bakers twine.

BethPingry-FathersDay-3

The little flower is actually Canvas Ribbon, which is twisted and rolled, and secured with a Dodz. I added a 3D Foam Heart embellished with Pink Pigment Powder, and then the letters DAD from a sticker set.

Thanks for visiting! Do you have any classic Dad-isms? Share them in the comments, I’d love to hear about your Dad!

Welcome Little One card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on June 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here with a fun trick to share. I have been currently using glittered card stock as embellishments lately, and thought it might be easy to create my own.
AJ Otto Little One Card

My daughters teacher just had a baby, and I have been itching to use this set for a baby card! I decided since the focal panel is cleaner, I would add a pop of glittered card stock to the edge to jazz it up a bit.
To make your own glittered card stock, start with Adhesive Sheets. Here, I am showing the 6 X 12 size. I have already adhered a piece of white card stock to the Adhesive Sheet, I just need to pull away the backing and cover with glitter. You can do this with any color card stock and any color glitter.

Here I have my glittered piece of card stock- You could also do a full sheet and trim off pieces to size as you need, I was using up a scrap size left over. 😉 And here’s a piece of glittered card stock Ive been hoarding for while for comparison. I’m more than happy with mine, and depending on what glitter you have on hand, it will all vary. To adhere your glittered card stock piece, I used Crafty Power tape. I then popped the whole panel up with Crafty Foam Tape.

enjoy!!
🙂 AJ

Home Journal Page With 3D Foam Designer Shapes

Posted on June 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello Friends! Asia King here and today I would like to show you how easy it is to use your favourite adhesives in a mixed media project. I wanted to have a little play with paints so I created this happy journal page.

Home Journal Page_Asia King 1

F0r my background I added layers and layers of paint, adding depth and detail with washi tapes, stencils, bottle caps and sequin waste. Next I created a banner at the top of my page with 3D Foam Pennants and Creative Photo Corners – White and also threw in a couple of 3D Foam Butterflies. To blend them in I added more paint and lashings of ink sprays as well as my DIY Blue and Gold Pigment Powder sprays.

TIP: To create your own mica spray simply fill a small spray bottle with water, put a couple of beads in and add the Pigment Powder in. Vary the amount of powder depending on how intense you would like your mist to be. After a while the powders naturally settle on the bottom of the bottles so the beads will help you stir the powders before each use. The mists work best over sticky surfaces so use it on your foam shapes etc or over wet paint.

Home Journal Page_Asia King 2

After stenciling through the blooms I added the flower centres with DODZ 3D which I also covered in paint. Finally I added some cute little stars and I covered them with Blue Pigment Powder.

Home Journal Page_Asia King 3

My houses and quotes were stamped onto white card, coloured in and adhered to the page using Adhesive Sheets 4×6″. I added some shading using a chalk pencil. To finish the page I added some rub-ons and some doodling using a black fine liner pen.

Watercolor Anniversary Card

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! Lisa here with a fun way to use some of your die-cuts along with your adhesives. I had never used them quite in this way before and I really loved how it turned out.

LisaAdametz-GoodTogether-1

The background was water-colored and cut ¼” smaller than the card base. One corner may be rounded for interest (as I did).

1. From the water-colored panel the butterfly was die-cut from it, being VERY careful to keep all the pieces in place. A second butterfly was die-cut from vellum.

2. Cover back of water-color panel with MyStik® Repositionable Dots. (This was done for easier positioning later.)

3. Cover back of water-colored butterfly THOROUGHLY and carefully with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

4. Using craft knife, carefully stick down butterfly back down into area that was die-cut. BUT, then lift out outer area BEFORE butterfly fully adheres. Press down to create permanent bond with the remaining pieces of the butterfly. Place the Vellum butterfly on top and adhere in the center using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive.

TIP: “EZ-Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesives are initially removable with the swipe of a finger, then create a permanent bond.”

LisaAdametz-GoodTogether-3

5. Gently remove the MyStik® Repositionable Dots from the back of the water-colored panel and replace with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive. Secure the panel firmly in place and back over the vellum butterfly.

6. Adhere two Dodz ™ Medium to the back of the water-colored butterfly. Create a few loops with some gold thread and secure butterfly on top.

LisaAdametz-GoodTogether-4

(not pictured) – Add texture with Glass Bead Glitter Gel (through a stencil) and add sentiment with stickers. Outline stickers with permanent pen.

Here’s a close-up of the butterflies!

Watercolor Rose With Inspiration from AJ Otto

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a card that was inspired by AJ Otto! I have been out of my craft room for quite some time due to some family matters, and needed a huge creative kick in the butt! I decided to scroll through our blog and see what hit me up side the head for inspiration. AJ’s strips of paper on her Father’s Day Card was what got my mojo in gear. Rather than use designer paper though, I created an ombre effect using water colors. I then cut the panels into 1/2 inch strips. They were adhered to the card stock panel with E-Z Squares® Refillable.

I stamped the image with Versamark and embossed it in white. The image was water colored and popped up on the doily using Crafty Foam Tape in white. I added a sticker sentiment, a bit of ribbon, and a few sequins. They were all adhered using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.
For a bit of sparkle I added some Stickles to the bottom of the roses.

I love getting inspiration from others and putting my own twist on it! 🙂 Thanks AJ!

Have a great day my friends!

3D Flower – Book Card with inspiration from Michele Kovack

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

I got the inspiration for this card when I browsed through our project gallery on the blog of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®. There is a great tutorial of a 3D Pumpkin from Michele Kovack and this inspired me to create this 3D card.

The basic idea is from Michele but I interpreted it in another context. I used every page in this little flower-book for a special message on the outside and for a bigger message I used the inside of the card.

Here is my tutorial for you.

1 – First cut out 4 Flowers with a Die and your Die cutting machine. I used a Die from Sizzix and my Big Shot Plus. Every Die with a symmetric format works.

2 – Fold the flowers in the middle.

3 – Adhere adhesives with the E-Z Dots Permanent and put your flower together. Let the flower open.

4 – Prepare your Basic-Card. I used a folded card and a single sheet of white paper on top of the cover.

5 – Adhere your book-flower with the E-Z Dots Permanent.

6/7/8 – Now decorate the flower-book with individual and special messages and embellishments.

Check out our gallery with a lot of beautiful tutorials and inspirations at the blog of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®. On the left side you can find different categories to find ideas easily.

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂
