Feminine Sympathy Card Using New Adhesive Products

Posted on February 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa on the blog today sharing a sympathy card I made. These are super tough for me to make (are they for you, too). I always want to convey the right emotion and really want it to be from the heart and not generic. I guess that’s why they are the hardest card for me to make.

I stamped the flower onto watercolor paper and heat embossed it, then used watercolor pencils to color it in. Using the Pigment Powder in Wine , mix a tiny amount of pigment and water together. Then you’re able paint with it. I added mine to the center and darker areas simply with a very small, fine-tipped paintbrush.

Using the brand new Adhesive Dots Mini on the back of small embellishments is a breeze! I love these!! You can’t tell they’re even there and they won’t budge. (Ask me how I know. 😉 )

All pieces were adhered using the brand-new E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. This adhesive is super strong and just glides across your paper. I also die-cut and popped up my floral piece using 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix.

Making a Sympathy Card is never fun, but it should reflect you and your personality and your love for the person you made it for. I hope my dear friend, Holly, knows how much I love her and how sorry I am for her loss.

Thank You Gift Bag

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

Hello Latisha with you today. I have decorated a gift bag to personalize it a little bit using some of the newest Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L® product!

Many Thanks Gift bag by Latisha Yoast for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First I gathered some of my supplies, and die cut my tag from kraft card stock, then stamped onto the tag with black ink.

I added some denim washi tape.

Using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini, I adhered sequins onto the bag as well as the tag. Next I attached the tag using the pink and navy twine.

Warm Wishes Layered Card Using E-Z Runner Products

Posted on February 25, 2016 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing two cards I created using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser, DODZ Adhesive Dots Small and the new E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser .

I started by layering several sheets of patterned paper together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Next, I stapled my ribbon in place. Then using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser, I adhered my resin frame and warm wishes sentiment. Note: Ultra is PERFECT for adhering larger, heavier embellishments onto any project!

Finally, using DODZ, I adhered my larger and smaller buttons, respectively.

Bloom and Grow Oval Shaped Card

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a spring post for you today. (Which is fairly ironic considering our area could potentially get 10 inches of snow!) But we will pretend that we have none of that white fluffy stuff!

I cut various ovals and scalloped ovals to make my shaped card. I stamped the background image with Versamark and embossed it in white. I gave it and the panel underneath color with inks in shades of pink, green, and orange.

bloom and grow

I adhered each layer with Crafty Foam Tape White. I use this stuff all the time to give my cards added depth and dimension! I water colored a variety of flowers and attached each layer using Dodz Adhesive Dots Small.

I adore Lace Ribbon and thought it would be a perfect finishing touch for my flowers to rest on. I simply tied it into a bow using green string. I used the Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to attach the bow and flowers.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Ready for Spring Card Trio

Posted on February 23, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for spring and today I am sharing a spring themed card trio with you. When making cards, I try to create a few in one sitting since for me they go together fairly quickly and lately I have needed quite a few of them!

As always I create a card front before adhering to a card base. That way any stapling, stitching or anything does not show through to the inside. The E-Z Runner® Grand of course makes it so easy to adhere the card to the base.

I like to include something of my cards on 3D Foam Squares for Dimension and whenever I add a clip or clothespin, I put a Adhesive Dots Medium on the back just to hold it in place.

For these first two cards I used the same basic sketch but just flipped it.

I then couldn’t let my scraps go to waste so I created one last card. Funny thing is, this one turned out to be my favorite 🙂 I think it is because of the messy stitching…

Mixed Media Card with Pigment Powder and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

It’s Stephanie here today. I want to show you a mixed media card “Just Be You” with pigment powders and adhesives. Stephanie_pigmentcard_1

I applied the flower with a stencil and Modelling Paste on a piece of watercolor paper. Then I used Pigment Powders in Pink, Wine and Silver to breathe life into the flower.

Stephanie_Pigmentcard_2

I mixed the Pigments with a little bit of water and with a little brush, I created a 3 dimensional look. I also mixed the Pigment Powder Wine with Pigment Powder Silver to get a darker red for my shadows. For the white highlights I used white Gesso. Take a look at this beautiful color wine, it’s awesome.

After I finished my card with a matching background, it was adhered with the Crafty Power Tape – 81′. Then I framed it with silver photo corners from the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack.

With added word sticker my card was finished.

Pigment Powders are so versatile!

I wish you a nice creative day and thanks for visiting me today!

With Thanks Watercolor and Pigment Powder Gold Card

Posted on February 21, 2016 by Guest Blogger

Hi Everyone!

I’m so excited to be joining Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® as their guest designer for the next three months! With the wide range of adhesives I’m eager to dive right in with you today and get started.

With Thanks Watercolor and Pigment Powder Gold Card by Carisa Zglobicki

Today I wanted to give my watercolor panel something unique for a backdrop so I placed adhesives on my black cardstock strips, using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″. After I removed the backing, I sprinkled Pigment Powder Gold on top. I love the subtle shimmer! It burnishes easily with my fingers and no residue falls off. To adhere the shimmery strips to my card base, I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Permanent – perfect size!

CarsiaZglobicki GDT WithThanksWaterColorAndPigmentPowderGoldCard Feb212016 CloseUp

I love this close up because you can see the shimmer so clearly behind my focal panel. I used 3D Foam Squares which are great for popping up my watercolor panel and hides any slight warping from all the water used to paint the image! I also used Dodz Adhesive Dots Small to adhere my sequins and Twine because they are perfect size for the smaller embellishments!

I hope you enjoyed my first post and thank you so much for stopping by! I look forward to creating more with these fabulous products and sharing with you over the next three months.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Can’t Thank You Enough! Card Tutorial

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a thank you card, predominantly black and white with a shot of colour.

CEmberson - Thank You Enough 1

I created my card base from white card, selected patterned paper and affixed with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

I die cut a curved rectangle and to add dimension attached Crafty Foam Tape to the reverse. CEmberson - Thank You Enough 3

For the die cut flower, a 3D Foam Squares White Small fits perfectly on the back and will hold it in place securely.

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card and positioned in place with Crafty Power Tape.

You Make me Happier Card

Posted on February 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello! Happy Presidents day! AJ here from the marvels of blog scheduling because I am most certain I am sleeping in today sine the kids are home from school! 😉

AJOtto-FrenchFry-1

I just recently got some adorable new stamps and thought I would break them in for todays post.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-2

I started by stamping and coloring my main panel in, (still trying to perfect my watercolor technique) and I adhered a strip of the Premium Double-Sided Tape on the bottom and trimmed the excess off the edge. Remove the backing and cover with glitter.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-3 My watercolor paper always warps a bit, so I end up placing a piece of cereal box or something similar to the backside of the panel. For this I use the Extreme Double-Sided Tape to make sure it lays flat to my card board piece.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-4

I also pop it up, so a few pieces of Crafty Foam Tape to use to adhere it to my card base are also in order.

AJOtto-FrenchFry-6

And I just love how the little strip of happy glittery-ness looks with out taking too much away from the main image. Is that bird not the cutest?!

AJOtto-FrenchFry-5

And my finished card for the giving! 🙂 enjoy!! –AJ
