You Rock My Boat Card with Crafty Foam Tape by Erica Houghton

First, I adhered pattern paper to the base of my card using an E-Z Dots^®Permanent dispenser.

Next, I adhered the sentiment, sticker and flowers using Crafty Foam Tape – White. Crafty Foam Tape – White is one of my favorite adhesives because it adds dimension to any project.

Notebook with Keepsake Envelope – inspired by Flo Teixeira

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

Stephanie here today to show you a cute little Note Book with a Keepsake Envelope on the cover.

I used a great tutorial for a Mini Album from Flo Teixeira she made for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^® two years ago. It’s such a great idea and so beautiful as a little gift. I’m a big fan of Flo’s work, it’s always lovely and soft.

I followed her instruction to create this tiny little book. All the steps are very clear and easy. I also used the E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere it all together. But I gave my book a Keepsake Envelope for a gift voucher instead of a pocket in front of the cover.

Above the envelope I used a sticker where I can add the name of this gift.

Inside my book you can find some patterned paper and also white and checked paper.

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 🙂

Boys Birthday Cards

Posted on May 22, 2015 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here.

I teach grade one and one of the special things I like to do is create a hand made birthday card for my students. Well the other day I realized I needed to build up my stash again so I created a couple of boy themed cards.

First I gathered my supplies and was quite happy to be able to create a couple of cards using mostly scraps!

I decided wanted to highlight the age for my students at this time of year and they will be turning 7 so I cut a large 7 from some of the pattern paper and mounted it with the 3D Foam Squares – and easy way to add some dimension to the project.

Once again, I highlighted the age and this time I adhered my pieces using the E-Z Dots Repositionable dots – although I like my projects to look like my layers just haphazardly were placed, I like to move them around until I am happy with them. I generally add some stitching to my projects as I like the added interest of the stitching.

Products Used:

3D Foam Squares White Regular

E-Z Dots® Repositionable Adhesive

Other products used:

Pattern Paper & tags: Elle’s Studio (Cameron Collection)

Dies: My Favorite Things

Twine: The Twinery

Father’s Day Card Featuring Adhesive Sheets and FOIL!

Posted on May 21, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a Father’s Day Card featuring Adhesive Sheets – 12 x 12″ and foil! This card was inspired by the supremely talented Christine Emberson’s post found HERE….in her original post Christine die cut 3D Foam Creative Sheets to create a two tone look using glitter. I wanted to recreate the two tone effect in a two dimensional format. With Adhesive Sheets, a stencil and gold/copper leafing material that I could! Here’s a close up of the card I created using the technique:
Father's Day Card Featuring Adhesive Sheets and FOIL! by Angela Ploegman

First start by applying the Adhesive Sheet to a non textured sheet of card stock. Peel back the protective cover and apply the stencil with moderate pressure. Next applyd the copper leaf through the stencil and remove the excess. Now remove the stencil (which was unexpectedly EASY to do) and apply the gold leaf to the remaining exposed adhesive. The pennant and the heart are stacked and adhered using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. Here’s a full view of the finished project:

Hello Mini Pocket Album Tutorial

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a mini pocket album tutorial. These albums are great to make as they consist of pockets to store photos, tickets and ephemera, a great gift or perhaps a keepsake for yourself of a memorable event.

How to Make a Mini Pocket Album

First cut two chipboard covers – these measure 5” x 4 ½”. Then cut four pieces of your choice of patterned paper to match the chipboard sizing – I chose Kaisercraft Bow and Arrow papers, affix to front and inside covers using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.

Put these to one side and then create your inner pockets. Cut various colored card 8″ x 8″, score at 4″, rotate and score at 3.2″. Fold longest section first, then fold in half – this will create pockets. The open side goes to the spine of your mini album.

Now for the decorating, I affixed a tag to the front cover using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular.

To bind the pocket album, punch holes 1¼“ inches in from each edge of the cover and also hole punch the pockets. Insert book rings. It’s a good idea to do this before you decorate the pockets so you can see where your holes are. I decorated the inner pockets by die cutting aperture shapes and adding patterned paper behind with Crafty Power Tape.

I continued decorating the additional pockets, adding strips of paper, bunting and more.

The finished book cover.

You can add additional pockets as and when you need them.

Have fun creating pockets for photos, quotes, tickets…the list is endless 🙂

How to Cut 3D Foam Sheets for Graduation Gift Card Holder

Posted on May 17, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Did you know you can easily cut our 3D Foam Creative Sheets with a wafer thin die?! Let me show you how I created a fun dimensional accent on my gift card holder for an upcoming graduate. Can you believe it’s that time of the year?!

Graduation Gift Card Holder by Margie Higuchi

Let’s assemble the holder. I used a die template to cut out a pocket, scored and adhered it with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

For the accent piece, I cut a strip of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets because I only needed just enough for the die template. With about the same size patterned paper, I place over the 3D Foam piece. The die was placed last and then cut/embossed through my manual die cutting machine.

To finish the edges, I colored it using a pastel pencil that had a similar tone of blue. I placed the foam die cut diagonally on the front of holder by removing the back liner.

Next I stamped the sentiment onto cream cardstock, placed a circle die over it and cut/embossed. It needed a mat to dress it up a bit so I adhere a larger sized circle die cut with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips. Then I applied 3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular on the back of the stamped circle. Adhere over the accent piece.

Insert the gift card and it’s ready to be given!

Artsy Tags – An Inspired Tutorial!

Posted on May 16, 2015 by Beth Pingry

Hi, It’s Beth! I loved this guest post from Birgit Koopsen, Create Beautiful Texture with Adhesive Sheets Tutorial from about a year ago. Here is my interpretation of Birgit’s project as Artsy Tags.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags11

Artsy Tag Tutorial

Spray shipping tags with Spritzers. I also sprayed with water to create a more mottled look. Dry well, I used a heat gun to speed up the process.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags1

Using a 4×6″ Adhesive Sheet, randomly place the adhesive onto the tags, burnish a little then lift off, repeat until you are satisfied with the coverage.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags2

Add clear embossing powder on top of the exposed adhesive.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags4

Here’s the before.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags5

Here’s the after, with the melted embossing powder.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags6

Next I added some white pigment ink to the dark green tag, then some metallic spritzes, then I swirled the ink pads onto the tags to add another look to the background.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags7

I die cut this design from both white and black 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

BethPingry-ArtsyTags8

To add Pigment Powder, it’s easier to expose about half of the die cut, rub on the Pigment Powder. Then peel off the rest of the liner and finish applying Pigment Powder. You won’t see a line and it’s much easier – trust me!

BethPingry-ArtsyTags9

I cut the die cuts in halves and quarters and added to the tags. On the green and blue tags I used BoBunny stickers (using 3D Foam Squares) and gems, and an old button. On the orange tag I used a splash of water and white embossing powder, white flowers and the stamped Blessings.

Artsy Tags by Beth Pingry

I realize this looks like a fair amount of work, but it really went fast, and was soooo easy! You have so many options with the color combinations!

Thanks for visiting, I hope you are enjoying our little inspiration series!

Awesome Father’s Day Card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on May 15, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello!! AJ here to share a masculine card using Adhesive Sheets.

I really loved Stephanie’s post Easter Card with 3D Foam Easter Shapes and Paper Scraps so I thought I would give it try for my card. Father’s Day is next month, and if your calendar is booked up like mine, it’s probably a good idea to work ahead! 😉

I have a TON of paper strips all over the place, and thought it would be a great way to use of these scraps! To start, I used an older color of card stock and adhered the strips one by one, butted right up to each other using E-Z Squares® Refillable.

Here’s all the strips lined up and ready for action.

I ran it through my die cutting machine and adhered it to my card base using Crafty Foam Tape. Any time I have an intricate word die cut, I use the Adhesive Sheets. These make life so much easier! Remove the liner, place your card stock down onto the adhesive. Burnish a bit. Place your word face down onto the black card stock. This will allow for the back of your word die cut to be sticky. *If you want the front sticky for adding foil or glitter, flip the whole sheet over, and lay the word down on the other side.
Run it through your die cutting machine and this pops right out and is ready to go!

I don’t add a lot of frilly items to my fathers day cards, or to cards I make for any guys…Those types of details are usually lost. 😉

Enjoy!
AJ

Father’s Day Card Tutorial – Drawing Inspiration From Angela Ploegman

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everybody! Asia King here and today I am sharing a card that was inspired by a project created by my super talented teammate Angela Ploegman. Angela made this awesome Chic Treat Bag using gold leaf and Adhesive Sheets. I loved the textured shimmer so I wanted to try gold leafing, too! I happened to have some clear acrylic pieces to hand so I thought I would try to apply the gold leaf to an acrylic sheet.

Father's Day card_Asia King15

So here’s the result of my efforts and a full tutorial for my card. Let’s begin!

1. Cut several strips of Adhesive Sheets in varying widths. Arrange them loosely on the acrylic sheet to make sure you are happy with the layout.

Father's Day card_Asia King1

2. Peel off the yellow backing and apply the adhesive to the acrylic sheet. Take a break between the strips, if required :).

Father's Day card_Asia King2

3. Fill in any remaining gaps with MyStik® Permanent Strips for added texture.

Father's Day card_Asia King3

4. Remove the white protective sheet from the adhesive and apply gold leafing in sections.

Father's Day card_Asia King4

5. Using a metal distressing tool add random tears and scratches for a distressed, worn look.

Father's Day card_Asia King5

6. Stamp the music themed background images with black StazOn ink directly onto the acrylic piece and gold leafing.

Father's Day card_Asia King6

7. Using your acrylic piece as a guide, trim a piece of black card stock as tall as the acrylic piece and 3/4 inch wider than the acrylic. Score along the card to create a 3/4 inch fold as shown. This will become your card’s insert/base.

To embellish the fold, stamp music notes with clear embossing ink and heat emboss it in gold.

Father's Day card_Asia King8

8. Trim the patterned paper to fit within the card base and adhere using MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Father's Day card_Asia King9

9. Wrap the fold around the acrylic front and secure it using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.

Father's Day card_Asia King10

10. Punch a couple of holes and inert two gold eye lets.

Father's Day card_Asia King11

11. Stamp additional images onto the pattern paper, ink the edges and mat with black cardstock.

12. Adhere the elements with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Father's Day card_Asia King12 13. Embellish the paper panels with Gold Creative Photo Corners.

14. Secure the sentiment panel to the acrylic front with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.
