Celebrate Card using Adhesive Sheets and Foil

Posted on June 29, 2015 by AJ Otto

Hello! AJ here with another Adhesive Sheet foil card! I hope foil is still in, I have quite a bit to use up still. 😉

I thought basic colors would be really fun with the balloon dies, this go either way for a guy or a lady, and or any type of celebration. I’m a fan of versatility. 😉I keep several sheets of white card stock already adhered to the Adhesive Sheets so that I can pull them out and use them at any given time for die cutting.

Place your die face down onto your card stock, run through your machine, and remove from the die. Peel the backing off, and place onto the backside of your foil.

Burnish the foil into the die a bit, and gently peel it back from the foil. You can always place it again if you missed any spots.I wanted my balloons to be popped up at various levels, so I added a few 3D Foam Squares to the backside.

Last, I popped up the whole panel with my trusty Crafty Foam Tape. Everything should be popped up with Crafty Foam Tape. 😉

enjoy!

Patriotic Card Tutorial

Posted on June 27, 2015 by Lisa Adametz

Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here and I have a neat little Independence Day card (or any other patriotic occasion) for you today. I’m using some exciting new products that you’ll be sure to LOVE!

Patriotic Card Tutorial by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Patriotic Card

1. I started by creating my card front ¼” smaller than my A2 sized card base (that way I knew I could add a little bit of color between the card base and card front.) On the front panel I used an embossing folder with a diffuser and ran it through my embossing/die-cutting machine to get an open area.

2. Next, using three different sheets of patterned paper I die-cut my stars. This all goes very quickly since the stars were still attached. Then I just mixed and matched the papers.

3. Using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in for the backs of the stars to keep them all secured together.Two pieces does the trick and they stay in place.

LisaAdametz-USAStars-2

I stamped the letters “USA” in a watermark ink and then heat set them with an embossing powder in glittery red. After that was complete, I filled the letters in using watercolor pencils.

4. I used the Double Sided Tape Dispenser Grand (also part of the HomeHobby by 3L line) to secure the ribbon to my card front. I also tied a small piece of baker’s twine around one side, which I secured with an Adhesive Dots 3D.

Tip: Adding a Dodz Adhesive Dot under your ribbons and bows is a great way to keep them from shifting and sliding.

5. Using an assortment from the 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, I applied a variety all over the backs of the stars. In areas that would just overlap other stars, I used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive.

This was so much fun to create and I always love to make and share ANYTHING patriotic!

Happy 4th of July!

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
Sticker Sentiment
Stamp set
Black ink
Markers

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.

angela ploegman fathers day card supplies

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.
