Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Blog

Smile

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a fun shaker/window card! There is something so fun about an interactive card that is sure to make the recipient “smile!” (Pun totally intended!) LOL!

I used several Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to create this fun card!

I love these Keepsake Envelopes! They are super easy to transform into a shaker!

I pulled out one of the smaller envelopes for my card and also grabbed a clear acetate sheet to adhere it to.

I love that it has a sticky back. I can just adhere it to the acetate with no messy glue!

I wanted to define the edges a bit and give it a pop of color, so I did a bit of sewing with yellow and pink thread. Since I am not generally a very straight sewer, I purposely sewed in a wavy pattern. (Good cover up right?) 😉 I then filled it with sequins I liked and finished sewing the top shut.

I love doilies and can’t seem to stop using them, so I wanted a touch of one at the top of the envelope. I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent to adhere the doily to the top.

I wanted to add some leaves to my crocheted flower so I opened up the package of 3D Foam Leaves and gave it a good dose of silver glitter. Because who says leaves have to be green?

I pulled out a sentiment from SRM stickers and placed it on white card stock.

I used the 3D Foam Squares to adhere it to the card.

I cut a window out of my card using a square Spellbinder’s die.

I used the Dodz™ to secure my little embellishments, like the stars and flowers.

Supplies:

Dodz™-small
3D Foam Squares
3D Foam Leaves
E-Z Dots® Permanent
Keepsake Envelopes
Spellbinder’s square die
SRM sticker
Sequins
Acetate
Sewing machine
Doily

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Card – For You

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a card using the Keepsake Envelopes and 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

Here is a little tutorial how I made it.

1- Use the 3D Foam Creative Sheets with a Big Shot (or other) and a flower die to create a 3D Foam flower. The creative sheets are like paper and the machine cut it very well.

2- Cut the same flower with an old book paper.

3- Peal off the protecting sheet and adhere the paper flower on the 3D Foam Flower.

4- It looks so nice 🙂

5- Fold your paper like an envelope. Cut a matching flower on the right side of cardstock.

6- Adhere the 3D Foam Flower in the middle.

7- Add a heart with a 3D Foam Squares.

8- Add an keepsake envelope for a voucher and put a journal card in it. Finish the card with some splashes black paint and a twine.

Take a look at the dimension of the flower-hole and the 3D Foam Shapes. I love it.

I hope you will give the 3D Foam Creative Sheets a try, it worse it and it’s so much fun!

Adhesives, Burlap and Hearts – OH MY!

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello Blog Readers! It’s Angela today, sharing a masculine love themed card that would be PERFECT for an anniversary, Valentines’ Day or ‘just because’:

Adhesives, Burlap and Hearts - Love Card by Angela Ploegman

I used the FABULOUS Crafty Power Tape 20′ Roll to adhere the burlap to the card front and the equally AWESOME DODZ Adhesive Dots Medium to stick the altered heart piece to the burlap. All the little gold ‘LOVE’ embellishment took to hold down was a few DODZ Adhesive Dots Small. And that’s it!

Here’s a close up of the focal point:

Flowery Birthday Card

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today with a flowery birthday card and matching gift box. I’ve become such a fan of using Creative Photo Corners on my cards, they really give a nice finishing touch.

The papers used are My Mind’s Eye – Now and Then collection. I attached the striped pink paper to the card using MyStik® Permanent Strips, to decorate the green spotted paper I used Creative Photo Corners – Ivory just needed in the two top visible corners.

The stamped tag and flowers are easily adhered with Crafty Foam Tape – White and 3D Foam Squares – White Mix, always handy to have both sizes on your craft desk to suit your embellishments.

You can really see the dimension! The flower is Spellbinders® Create A Gerber Daisy and other dies used are Spellbinders® Romantic Rectangles Two and Classic Ric Rac.

A matching card and gift box comes together with ease with the right adhesives to hand.

Thank you for joining me today and happy crafting!

Christine

Window Card with Dimension

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa here with you today to share a fun window card that I made with a just a little dimension and some fun embellishments to make it extra special.

LisaAdametz-BurlapBows-1

2. Use Crafty Power Tape to keep the pieces aligned and also use to adhere to card base.

3. Use a circle die to cut circle from front of card base. Adhere to INSIDE of card with MyStik® Permanent Strips.

LisaAdametz-BurlapBows-4

4. Using a slightly smaller die, cut another circle out of patterned paper and adhere to the inside circle with 3D Foam Squares in Black (they show much less).

5. Stamp a sentiment onto cardstock weight vellum (one of my favorite things to do!) and adhere it to the inside of the front using the Crafty Power Tape, once again. When the card is open it is barely visible.

LisaAdametz-BurlapBows-7

6. Last step? Embellish! With so many options out there it’s hard to choose, but with the paper I used I wanted to use some cheery enamel dots of differing sizes and also the sweet little burlap bows I feel like I’ve been saving for just the right card.

Step 1: Adhere pattern paper to card using an E-Z Squares® Refillable tape dispenser.

Caring Thoughts

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a card that was created for a very special girl. She is going through a difficult time in her life, and I wanted her to know that she is in my thoughts and prayers. I used a stencil and various inks to create the background. I adhered the stenciled piece to the card using Crafty Foam Tape-White, to give it a bit of depth.

I added shimmery ribbon and tied it vertically. I added a sentiment from SRM stickers and held it in place with DODZ™-Small. I added some pink ribbon, yellow string, and two little orange posies. I used 3D Foam Leaves. Since they were sticky I just dumped yellow embossing powder over them and heat embossed them. I inked the ends in a bit of orange.

I adhered the leaves and posies using DODZ™-Small.

I was always a card hoarder, and have realized that sending them is more important than collecting them! That is my mission…to send as many cards as I can. 🙂

Supplies:

Dodz™ – Small
3D Foam Leaves
Crafty Foam Tape-white
Stencil
Inks
Ribbon
String
Posies
SRM Sentiment Sticker

File Folder – Wishes

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

today it’s Stephanie here with a file folder for wishes.

Did you see the file folders from Roben Marie Smith? I love her work and felt inspired and created a folder for wishes.

I didn’t had blank folders so I decided to take a paper in A4 size as base, to fold it and then to use a sewing machine to close the paper on the sides.

For the background I used book pages and a piece of watercolor paper and adhered them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable. I painted and splashed a bit and decorated a line with washi tape and Ribbon.

I drew the swan with a black pen and cut it out. I adhered the swan with 3D Foam Squares to create a little 3D effect.

To adhere all paper stripes for the titles and embellishments together I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable again.

It was a messy, free style project and I loved the process.
