Grungy Birthday Card

Posted on September 28, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone, Asia King here! Today I’m sharing a grungy, covered in moss birthday card I made for my hubby :).

Grungy Birthday Card_Asia King1

Once I prepared my A5 card blank I covered the background with pattern papers distressed with inks and a distressing tool. I layered them up and adhered with Home Hobby Grand Permanent Strips.

To create my grungy banner I first inked up the grunge board letters by dunking them in pools of ink on my craft mat. Then I cut a ‘wooden block’ for each letter from brown cardstock and sanded it around the edges to create a worn look. To adhere the letters to the block background I used Adhesive Sheets 4×6″.

To make the fence I stamped the woodgrain pattern onto inked white card and cut strips to create planks. I added some rusty nails (small brads) and popped the planks onto the card with Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Once the planks were in place I added my ‘Happy Birthday’ banner using Adhesive Sheets I had to hand. With the help of my trusty Crafty Foam Tape Black I also added a vintage rusty metal plaque which I bought a few years ago at a flea market in Bruges. To complete my card I added some faux moss using Quick & Easy Dual Tip Glue Pen and I tied a bow to the metal plaque.

Fall Gatherings Banner Tutorial

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fall banner to share today! I used canvas pennants and gussied them up to match my decor. I have the finished banner hanging above my fireplace in my living room.

I have a tutorial below to show you some of the steps I took in creating this piece.

When I think of fall, I think of pumpkins, so I knew this would be my focal point of the banners. I cut them on my die cut machine in various patterns of orange.

Since I love dimension in my projects, I seem to always, turn to my stash of Crafty Foam Tape!

I placed them on the various layers of the pumpkin. The bottom layers were adhered using E-Z Squares®.

Oooooohhhhh…..aaaahhhhhhh……dimension! 😉

In my world, pumpkins always seem to need a few leaves and maybe even a flower. So I pulled out my 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

I grabbed several dies…..

…and cut enough leaves and flowers to embellish all 3 pumpkins. I forgot to photograph the next step, but it is easy enough to explain. I poured embossing powder over my leaves and flowers, and then heat set it.

I added stars down the center of each pumpkin. I sprinkled it with a fine glitter.

There! Now you can see my embossed leaves and flower! I love the bumpy texture! So fun!

I used ribbon across each pennant and tied them together with additional ribbon. I added a few sequins here and there using Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium, and gems to each flower. Here’s one more look at my finished project!

I hope I have inspired you today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies: Crafty Foam Tape White, E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser , Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium,

Other Supplies: Designer paper, die cut machine, stickers, sequins, doily, gems, embossing powder, twine, canvas, ribbon

The Crisp Days of Fall Card

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

I don’t know about you, but I am really ready for fall. We have had a long, hot summer here and I am looking forward to the cooler temps, beautiful colors and so many other things that make fall so fabulous.

I used the Hello Autumn collection by Bella Blvd to create this fun seasonal card.

You know me and my fussy cutting. I fussy cut the pumpkin from one of the pattern papers. The leaves and fence are die cut and then mounted using the 3D Foam Squares. I also, like to tuck one of the small Dodz in behind the clothespins just to hold them in place.

Tip: When I am mounting something that is thinner than the width of the squares, I just cut the squares in half with some non stick micro tip scissors.

And there you have it. A quick and easy seasonal card.

Products Used:

3D Foam Squares, White Small

E-Z Runner Permanent Strips

DODZ™ – Small

Other products:

Pattern Paper: Bella Blvd

Twine: May Arts

Scissors: Close to My Heart

Dies: Fence (My Favorite Things); Leaf (Simon Says)

So do tell, are you ready for fall? 🙂

Shaker Card Tutorial with E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable, 3D Squares and Crafty Power Tape

Posted on September 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a shaker card I made with Die cutting Butterflies, the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable, 3D Foam Squares – White Mix and the Crafty Power Tape – 81′.

It’s such a fun project, here is my tutorial for you.

1 – Use you Diecutting machine and a Die of a butterfly. I used the Sizzix Big Shot Plus and the Sizzix Thinlits Die Graceful Butterfly. Cut out your basic card and a sheet of white paper in the same size like your diecutting. The basic card should be 1 cm bigger than the Die cutting sheet and the white paper. Prepare 4 woods to create a quadrangle.

2 – Adhere a foil with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable behind the Diecutting butterfly.

3 – Adhere the woods with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable onto the foil.

4 – Put some fun pearls or sequins onto the quadrangle.

5 – Add some adhesives from the with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable onto the wood and put your white paper on it.

6 – Use the Crafty Power Tape – 81′ to put your shaker card onto your basic card.

7 – It looks so nice, right?!

8 – Now you can add the second butterfly Diecutting from this Sizzix set with a small 3D Foam Square from the 3D Foam Squares – White Mix or let it as it is.

I think such a card is perfect for birthdays.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Have a nice day!

Stephanie 🙂

Chipboard Mini Album with Super Tapes!

Posted on September 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a chipboard album tutorial using lots of brilliant tapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

I’ve used three chipboard pieces to create the mini album, two cover pieces and a spine piece. The central ring clip is held in place with brads/fasteners.

I used a piece of canvas paper and secured this to the spine area using Crafty Power Tape. It is so easy to remove the backing of this tape and with its red core I thankfully don’t misplace (bury) it on my craft table!

To affix patterned paper to the chipboard covers I used Premium Double-Sided Tape, being 1″ thick it didn’t take many strips.

Continuing with decorating the mini album, to affix ribbon I turned to Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ – this tape is super strong!

I inked the edges of my album lightly with distress ink to add a subtle vintage look.

The final touches to the album were some die cuts, the flowers are affixed with 3D Foam Squares – White, Small

Thanks for stopping by today and don’t forget to check out the wonderful selection of tapes on the website – there’s a tape for every craft project imaginable!

Cute-a-sauris Card by Guest Blogger Isha Gupta

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Guest Blogger

Hi Everyone, we’re thrilled to have the talented Isha Gupta with us for a few guest blog posts! Take it away, Isha!

Hi, it’s Isha here. I am so excited and honored to be guest designer here with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®. I am loving all the various kinds of adhesives and the various ways I can use them! I especially love the new E-Z Runner® Grand, it’s so easy to use and also to refill 🙂 Then there are these Adhesive Sheets, which I used for flocking today. It made flocking so easy!

Cute-a-sauris card by Isha Gupta for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I applied the Adhesive Sheet to a piece of green cardstock. Removed the backing paper and applied flock.

Cute-a-sauris_step1

You will see below, that I changed my mind and used light green flock instead.

This is how smooth and velvety this flocked piece looks. Adhesive Sheets give a perfect smooth finish.

Next I applied stars in a random order and applied foil over them.

I then applied the flocked grass piece onto my mat layer using E-Z Runner® Grand. It sure is easy to use 🙂

Finally, I adhered these cute images using 3D Foam Squares in 2 thicknesses. This gives the card more dimension and interest. Finally, I adhered this mat layer to the card base using E-Z Runner® Grand.

I really enjoyed using all these products. See you again soon!

3D Foam Christmas Shape Pillow Box Tutorial

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

I was inspired by Latisha’s Pillow Boxes post last week that I went and purchased the pillow box die for today’s project! LOL!

With Christmas coming in a few months, I thought I’d get a head’s start on my gift giving. Using the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes, I accented this pillow box with just enough sparkle to accent my gold foiled sticker tags…

3D Foam Christmas Shape Pillow Box Tutorial by Margie Higuchi

Let me show you how I created this gem! I start by die cutting the pillow box die with my manual die cutting machine using patterned paper. Then I assembled the box together with the Home & Hobby E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips.

MargieHiguchi 3DChristmasFoamPillowBx Step1

Next I sprinkled the holly leaves with green glitter and pressed the red foil into the holly berries. Note: use a small watercolor brush to get those loose glitter out of the way!

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamChristmasShapePillowBx Step2

Took a strip of red cardstock from my scrap pile and cut it to 1 x 6″ to create a band around the pillow box. Using the box as a guide, I gently scored the sides. Add the gold foiled stickers and embellished 3D Foam Christmas Shapes. Write a little greeting and name in red.

MargieHiguchi 3DFoamChristmasShapePillowBx Step3

Then add DODZ™ – Medium to one end, wrap around the box and adhere to the other end.

And it’s ready to be placed under the Christmas tree! Here’s another look or two…

Sweet Celebration Window Shaker Card

Posted on September 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth, I’m celebrating the beginning of the Fall season with relieve from the hot temps and the pretty colors in the trees. As a runner, I appreciate both of these seasonal changes!

Sweet Celebration Window Shaker card by Beth Pingry

For today I created a window shaker card, which allows you to see the inside greeting, without sacrificing the chance to bling it up a little.

BethPingry-SweetCelebration2

I die cut the shaped card, then die cut the window opening. Using 2 dies as a frame, I cut the striped paper. I used a plastic bag to create both sides of the window – that was die cut as well.

BethPingry-SweetCelebration4

I attached a piece of plastic to the card and the frame with Premium Double Sided Tape 1/8″, added the bling to the card piece, then placed my sequins. I used Crafty Foam Tape on the striped frame to create some depth, then adhered the pieces together to seal the sequins inside.

BethPingry-SweetCelebration3

Lastly, I added glitter to 3D Foam Leaves for the front of the card.
