Love is in the Air!

Posted on January 16, 2015 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a lovey dovey card for you! I guess with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I’ve got love on the brain! It could also serve as a pretty anniversary or wedding card too! I had all of these lace ribbons and knew I wanted to incorporate them here. And since straws seem to be such a big thing right now, I decided they would work perfectly for my card!

I can’t seem to get enough of these 3D Foam Hearts either. Just peel the backing and sprinkle with glitter. I covered the large heart with a bright pink glitter for a bit of punch to the card. Layers of lace, string, sequins, and a sentiment were added for a finishing touch.

Want to creep into my brain and see my creative process for this card? Grab yourself some 3D Foam Hearts.….. 01208 3D Foam Hearts

….and dump your choice of sparkly glitter on top.

Then take out a package of Adhesive Sheets and adhere it to a piece of cream cardstock.

Lay the straws on top of the adhesive/card stock and snip the ends of the straws with scissors.

Once completed I added some of the pretty lace to the edge with DODZ™ Medium.

Layer wide lace vertically and place the large pink heart on top with DODZ™ Medium.

I added the smaller gold heart and then added my string and epoxy dot to the center using Dodz™ Small.

Since you know I like lumpy bumpy cards, I had to adhere the piece above to my card using 3D Foam Squares.

Here is a final look at my card. 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great Friday!

Mixed Media Dragonflies With Adhesive Sheets – Part I

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Asia King

Hello everyone! Asia King here and today I am sharing a project I created for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®’s booth at this year’s CHA, Mixed Media Dragonflies. My ensemble has got quite a lot going on so I will be sharing it in two parts. Today is the first one and for the next installment please pop back on January 28th :).

Mixed Media Dragonflies with Adhesive Sheets by Asia King for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Dragonflies Canvas

This project is a new take on the dry decoupage technique I shared in my mixed media altered vanity box back in May last year. I used my favourite dragonflies printed napkins – they have such a happy design and colour palette, don’t you think?

After adhering the napkin to the canvas with Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″, I dry brushed some white gesso over the design to tone the colours down a bit. Then I created lots of different textures. I’m using Adhesive Dots Small, Adhesive Dots3D, Thin 3D Foam Squares, 3D Foam Squares , 3D Foam Pennants and about a million of buttons, random found objects and different metal, resin and fabric embellishments.

Once everything was secured in place with my trusty Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots 3D I covered all elements with a generous dollop of white gesso and heat set it with my heat gun. Then I just played around with ink sprays and paints to add colour and shimmer. I also added some heat embossing with coordinating embossing powders for more texture.

To complete the canvas I added some stamped journaling quotes mounted over Crafty Foam Tape White and some more detailing with Liquid Pearls.

A Spring Scrapbook Layout Featuring Adhesive Sheets

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello Everyone! I know it’s a little early to post a spring layout, but a break from my snowy winter is a good thing. Plus, I designed a few projects for display at the Craft & Hobby tradeshow in Anaheim this weekend, which is really exciting because in the upcoming weeks, you will be seeing lots of NEW products here on our blog! YAY!

I placed a glittered 3D Foam Heart in the camera die cut and framed the title with a glittered 3D Foam Frame.

To adhere the layered papers under my photo, I used lots and lots of Crafty Foam Tape.

Those cute green glitter triangles are ‘leftover’ bits from my 3D Foam Pennants sheet. How did I adhere that clear plastic “lovely” word? With Dodz™! Can you see them? Nope! I also put a Dodz™-Small behind the wood arrow.

Isn’t that glittery “Spring” polaroid frame cute? I designed it with my ScanNCut machine, then used a 12 x 12 Adhesive Sheet on plain patterned paper before I cut it out. After it was cut, I removed the backing and sprinkled glitter all over. Ta Daaaaa!

Here is a video that shows you how I made this frame. You can use this technique with Adhesive Sheets and any electronic cutting machine or manual die cutting machine.

Adhesive Sheets come in different sizes (4 x 6, 6 x 12, and 12 x 12) and can be really handy for lots of techniques!

Happy Crafting!

Happy New Year Tag with 3D Foam Trees and Glitter

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi There,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a Happy New Year Tag I made using some beautiful 3D Foam Trees.

The background is just a leftover from an other project. It’s a painted background on which I stamped with white paint. To make it very special I added some 3D Foam Trees.

I used some chunky glitter in a golden-brown color and added it to the 3D Foam Trees. It’s chunky glitter but it adhere very well.

Then I added a bit of white acrylic paint to give them a snowy look.

Some sprinkles with red paint, some white at the bottom and a handwritten Happy New Year sentiment with a white pen, that’s it.

Thanks for visiting today! I wish you a Happy New Year!

Stephanie 🙂

Paper Piecing with Adhesive Sheets – Warm Winter Wishes Card

Posted on January 7, 2015 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a card made easy with the RIGHT adhesives!

Paper Piecing with Adhesive Sheets - Warm Winter Wishes Card by Angela Ploegman

To make the card front, I first covered the front of the folded card base with an Adhesive Sheet – 12 x 12″. I then cut the base design (the white outline) and adhered to the card front. I then cut the same design from 3 different colors of blue card stock and filled in the design, which super quick as the adhesive was already in place!

Some vellum snowflakes were stuck in place with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable and the pierced circle die with the sentiment stamped on it was stuck down with some 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular, holding the silver embroidery floss in place at the same time.

Here’s a close up of the sentiment block:

Altered Clipboard with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

Posted on January 5, 2015 by Erica Houghton

Happy Monday! It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a clipboard I altered using 3D Foam Creative Sheets, as well as a step-by-step tutorial showing you how I altered my clipboard!

Altered Clipboard tutorial by Erica Houghton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, I started by spraying my clipboard with white Gesso. I then traced the clipboard onto a sheet of pattern paper, distressed and adhered it to the clipboard using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Next, I fussy cut several elements from another sheet of pattern paper and adhered them using 3D Foam Creative Sheets and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Lastly, I finished adhering my embellishments with 3D Foam Creative Sheets. The 3D Foam Creative Sheets are one of my most favorite adhesives to use because they not only give my project dimension but the sheets are very sticky – adhering heavier embellishments securely.

Here are some closeups of the finished Altered Clipboard!

3D Foam Shapes Japanese New Year Hagoita Tutorial

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Margie Higuchi

Hello and Happy New Year! My first post of the year is about my heritage and a New Year’s game that was played in Japan. Hanetsuki game is similar to badminton (hitting a birdie back and forth with a paddle). It is rarely played now and the paddle became more of a New Year’s decorative piece in the home. This is my take of the paddle created with cardstock!

To create the base, I hand drew based on images on the internet onto thick white cardstock and cut with scissors. I repeated two more times, adhered all layers with Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″ and trim the excess off the edges. Note: If you still have some sticky edges, use an anti-static powder or talcum powder to alleviate the problem.

Next I covered the paddle with three coats of Gesso (allow dry time between each coat), wrapped washi tape around the handle and painted it with Chalkboard Paint.

I wanted to create a textured background so I grabbed my E-Z Dots® Repositionable to secure the stencil and applied Whipped Spackle.

Now the decorating FUN begins! I applied adhesive on the back of my die cut (cut in half) using Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″ for full coverage, even with the narrow areas!

Who says that these 3D Foam Products had to be covered with glitter, flock and such?! Color them with Design Memory Craft® Gelatos® and Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils! I used 3D Foam Garden Shapes and 3D Foam Leaves too.

For the sequins, buttons, beads and such, I used various sizes of Dodz™ – there are three sizes: small, medium and 3D.

Add pearls to finish…a second look at the finished Hagoita!

Project Supplies:
SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L®: Adhesive Sheets – 12×12″, E-Z Dots® Repositionable, Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″, 3D Foam Garden Shapes, 3D Foam Leaves, DODZ™ – Small, DODZ™ – Medium and DODZ™ – 3D

Friends Forever Tag with Chevron Tutorial

Posted on January 2, 2015 by Christine Emberson

Happy New Year! It’s Christine, today I have a tutorial for a chevron design on this Friends Forever Tag. A New Year tends to make you reflective and I’ve certainly had a year where I’ve needed my friends. It’s nice to tell them occasionally how much you value them and for my best friend a handmade tag on a gift is perfect!
