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.

Thanks for visiting,

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.

Thanksgiving Fall treat bags by Michele Kovack

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.

Fall Treat Bags by Michele Kovack

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!
