Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Blog

Thanks

Posted on April 29, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here with another card using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products!

I am constantly in need of thank you’s lately, so I am trying to build my stash up so I am not up in my craft space creating like a mad woman at the last minute! You know how that goes. 😉To start this card, I cut a section out of the middle of the pattern paper and then adhered the remaining pieces to the card base using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable.

Once lined up where I want them, I stamp my sentiment.

Using the stars from the 3D Foam Party Shapes, I adhere them to my paper, remove the backing and cover with silver glitter.

I can now adhere my panels to my card front using Crafty Foam Tape. I did trim one piece down the middle instead. (Just another way to stretch your supplies 😉 Repeat with the other piece of paper and you are done!

enjoy!
🙂 AJ

Merci Tag – Texture with Adhesive Sheets and Die Cuts

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Happy May Day! It’s Beth here with a textured tag tutorial that’s perfect for Spring!

Here’s a quick tutorial – it’s so easy!

First die cut desired shapes from cardstock or chipboard. I used chipboard then added some paint on top to neutralize the darker color. (This isn’t the order I did it, so follow the written instructions – I always figure out an easier way while I’m doing it the hard way!)

Trim the die cuts and adhere them to the tag, I used E-Z Squares®. Cover the tag with an Adhesive Sheet and burnish it down with your fingers. Remove the liner to reveal the adhesive covered tag, then crumple up a sheet of tissue paper and lay it onto the tag. The more wrinkles, the more texture!Next, burnish the tissue into the adhesive, so that the entire tag is covered, then trim or tear the excess. I placed the die cuts slightly off the edges and used scissors to trim.

Now for the messy, I mean fun part – color! I spritzed 4 different colors onto the tag, making sure that I covered the tag. Impatient like me? Go ahead and use a heat gun to dry it quickly. Tip: I keep the yellow liners from Adhesive Sheets for other projects!

Here I moved some 3D Foam Hearts and a 3D Foam Butterfly to an extra liner, removed the top sheets and the centers of the butterfly, then added pink glitter.

I removed the rest of the butterfly and added blue glitter.

Next stamp a sentiment, add the 3D Foam Hearts and 3D Foam Butterfly, a ribbon and some hand drawn lines and bubbles. I inked the edges with green chalk ink. The sky’s the limit here on embellishing.

Thanks for coming by! Stay tuned for Saturday, National Scrapbook Day, for giveaways you don’t want to miss! Coming up next week we have some extra special announcements too!

Glittered Die Cuts

Posted on April 26, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Latisha here with you today. I am sharing a tutorial, on how to use “alphabet die cuts” and turn them into glittered stickers.

1. First, trim down a piece of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets (4×6). I like to trim my pieces down to size, because I love this product and do not like to waste one little piece.

2. Place cardstock over the adhesive.

3. Since I want the adhesive to be on top of the die cut, and not the bottom, because we are adding the glitter to the top, and not making it a typical cardstock sticker. I am placing the cardstock face down, and the Adhesive Sheet facing up, then adding the dies on top, before diecutting.

4. I want a rainbow/ombre effect, so I am going to only peel down the Adhesive Sheet a little at a time, adding a different color every time I pull it down farther.

5. I repeated this process, until I had red, orange and yellow glitter onto my diecuts.

6. I want my stickers to have a little bit of depth, so I am adding Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape (white) to the back of my die cuts.

7. I didn’t want to create a bow, or have my ribbon knotted, so I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Tape, to the back of my ribbon, an adhered it to the card & trimmed the excess with scissors.

8. Before I adhered my letters to the card, I stamped the sentiment in black ink, applied the die cuts, and added a little bit of twine to pull it all together. This technique can be used with any kind of die cut, not just letters.

Layout – Let Your Dreams Fly High

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a layout.

It’s about the third birthday of my daughter, where she is riding a pony for the first time. She was so happy about it. We spent a really gorgeous day at a children’s zoo.

My Journaling is behind the little card on the left side and this card is in Keepsake Envelope from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L^®. I put also some lovely sequins in it.

To adhere the papers, cards and ribbons I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

The little Butterflies and the sentiment are stamps from the new spring stamp set “Let your dreams fly high” I designed for Whiff of Joy.

Create Your Own Roller Stamp!

Posted on April 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today and I’m sharing a card that I created using the 3D Foam Cupcake shapes:

Create Your Own Roller Stamp! Celebrate Card by Angela Ploegman Can you see how I used the shape in 2 different ways? One is the focal point and the other is the clear embossed image in the background. Let me show you how I did both!

Instructions:

1. Adhere approximately 6 3D Foam Cupcake shapes to a toilet paper roll.

Create Your Own Roller Stamp! Celebrate Card by Angela Ploegman 2. Remove the protective backing from the shapes and ink them with an embossing ink. Insert a wooden dowel into the toilet paper roll and use it to apply the custom roller stamp to the patterned paper.

4. Using the MyStik® Permanent Strips, adhere the patterned paper to a card base.

5. Cut a double sided banner strip from a coordinating pattern paper and adhere to the card base. Stamp the sentiment using StazOn (or similar) ink.

6. Die cut a circle and scalloped circle window from patterned paper. Inset the circle (you could layer, if you prefer) and adhere to the card base with the MyStik® Permanent Strips.

Remove the icing backing and pipe on the icing, using a 3D glitter fabric paint. Insert the cherry shape, allowing the fabric paint to overlap slightly. Let the fabric paint dry.

8. Remove the rest of the backing from the cupcake base and cover with gold glitter. Cover the cherry with red glitter and the stem with brown glitter. I use a craft knife to cut the baking on the shape and peel the pieces one at a time for each color of glitter needed. Adhere finished cupcake to card base.

The Decorated Egg

Posted on April 19, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today and to celebrate Easter I thought I would re-style Easter egg packaging! The shop packaging can get a little boring so how about making your own? It is so easy with the help of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

First of all select a piece of yellow cardstock and trim off a strip measuring 12″ x 4″. This isn’t quite big enough to wrap around the egg so you will need an extra piece measuring 5″ x 4″ to add on – Crafty Power Tape does this perfectly.

Then score at 6.5″ and 9.5″ – this creates the base section for your egg.

To decorate, I wanted some Spring-like bunting so the 3D Foam Pennants were perfect for this.

I affixed them to patterned paper and then cut around each one.

For an extra embellishment, make a hole with your pokey tool and insert a brad.

The 3D Foam Pennants and twine are then attached to some patterned paper from Echo Park and the decorated panel is attached to the cardstock using E-Z® Dots Permanent Refilliable.

The egg is held in place with Crafty Power Tape.

Draw up the front and back panels and secure with a small peg. For an additional decoration I cut/embossed a Spellbinders® Create A Daisy.

The finished decorated egg –

and the pretty 3D Foam Pennants.

Have fun changing packaging to suit your style! Wishing you all an enjoyable Easter.

Christine

Springtime Bird House with Creative Photo Corner Roof

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hints of Spring are popping up all over, and I was inspired to create this Springtime Bird House. I found an inexpensive wooden birdhouse in the craft aisle of a big box store and I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it!

Embellishing the Wood Bird House

Using a floral paper collection, I covered the surfaces in a variety of patterns and then fussy cut some additional shapes. The patterned papers are adhered to the wood bird house with Crafty Power Tape (perfect for paper to wood applications!)

The roof line and shingles are all Creative Photo Corners, and they are easy to line up. They have permanent adhesive on the back side and so they stick beautifully! They feature a bit of embossed texture, which makes them even more interesting!

The 3D Foam Butterflies are covered in blue glitter and then adhered to the paper. On the side, there is a dragonfly, with wings covered in blue glitter and the body covered in silver glitter. On the opposite side I used 3D Foam Garden Shapes and covered the watering pail in foil. I have more photos on my personal blog, Cookies for Breakfast. Thanks for coming by today and Happy Spring!!

Easter Treat Container

Posted on April 15, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello- AJ here to share with you a fun Easter treat container you can fill with just about anything!

My kids are starting to get to the age of no Easter baskets, but they still do enjoy all things chocolate egg related!! 😉 These sour cream containers are super easy to make, and fill with just about anything they like.
Adhere several pieces of Crafty Power Tape to the long end of your cardstock-(It’s 4 1/2 X 5 1/4″ here) and secure into a roll shape. Burnish the inside with a bone folder.

AJOtto-GlitterCarrots-3 Now, on the short end, again add Crafty Power Tape and secure closed, pinching it off. *Fill with treats before closing both ends* Flip over to the open end, and repeat making sure to close the alternate direction.
Add a few strips of patterned paper to the seams for a splash of color using E-Z Runner® Strips Permanent Refillable.
Next up, place your carrots from the 3D Foam Easter shapes on to a die cut and cover with glitter. First with orange, then with green. I do love that they come in pieces like that to make customizing easy!To finish it off, adhere the die cut to the container with 3D Foam Squares.

You can also fill with non candy items, or even use for birthday party treats.

enjoy!

Easter Trio Home Decoration

Posted on April 14, 2014 by Asia King

Today I’d like to share a trio of sparkly Easter home decor pieces I made. Inspired by the spring weather that brings longer days, sunny weather, bees, and butterflies buzzing in the air.

Hello everyone, Asia King here! I can’t help feeling excited that spring is finally here! And so is Easter – have you finished your preparations yet?

Easter Home decoration Trio purple eggs with glitter by Asia King

An Easter Trio

My Easter set includes decorated Styrofoam eggs, a wooden frame, and a candle.

Easter Frame

The frame was covered with designer papers using Crafty Power Tape. I added some scalloped panels cut with an edge punch and a stamped Easter banner using 3D Foam Pennants.

For the insert, I stamped the Baroque Cross stamp twice with Coffee ink. First image was for my background and the second was used to cut out the orate centre. Next I stamped the image with a clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with the lilac embossing powder. Then I fussy cut the cross and arranged the layers over Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I also added some Foam Squares decorated with Micro Glitter.

3D Foam squares Spring flower sprays foam leaves with glass glitter

The corners of the insert panel were embellished with embossing powders and glitters using encrusted jewel technique. My flower sprays were attached using Adhesive Dots 3D and Adhesive Dots Medium. I also added 3D Foam Leaves decorated with the green glass glitter.

Candle Wrap

To decorate the candle I stamped the cross onto tissue paper which I melted into the candle with a heat tool. I embellished it further with glittered Thin Foam Squares Mix White and Crafty Power Tape.
