Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Blog

Chalkboard Art Ensemble

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi! Kimberly here and I am excited to share my CHA artwork with you today! The best part of creating these projects is knowing that all the adhesives I need to make everything come together were on my desktop! Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® truly has the best adhesives!

The start of this ensemble was the chalkboard. My grandpa used to always sing this song, so when I saw the digital cut file on the Silhouette online store, I knew it was perfect!

To learn more about creating the chalkboard look see this tutorial: Creating Handwritten Chalkboards with Repositional Adhesive.

The apple bushel baskets were also digitally cut. I love creating 3D paper items and my Crafty Power Tape holds them together, well.

The Crafty Power Tape also holds lace and Fun Flock! I applied the Crafty Power Tape to the top of the bushel basket, removed the backing, and sprinkled generously with Fun Flock. I burnished it in and tapped off the excess. A fun, fall-ish addition!

These store bought apples needed a handmade touch, so I punched hearts from patterned paper, creased them in half, and adhered them with Dodz™ Small.

Here is a look at the card in the ensemble. This time I used a metal die template to cut out the tree. I cut it twice, once from brown card stock and once from patterned paper.

Piecing together intricate die cuts can be painful. E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable has been my solution. After having issues trying other types of adhesive, I thought about the dots and realized how easy they are to remove, if they somehow land where they don’t belong. And the best part is, that really doesn’t happen often. Its the perfect solution! Run the E-Z Dots® on your project and be happy!

The last little touch on the chalkboard was this cute set of burlap pennants. While I made them with die templates, I cannot wait to try out the new Designer Shapes that have pennants!! Stay tuned for those!

thanks for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary Card

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Kelly Klapstein

Next week my husband and I celebrate our 24th anniversary, so I made a card for him.

I decided to design a more masculine card, you know….the kind he will want to show all his friends. ha!

To create the metallic winged heart element, I used a 3D Foam Heart and two of the new 3D Foam Wing designer shapes.

Actually, I altered the size of the heart to suit my card design, and used embossing enamels to transform the foam into faux metallic pieces.

You can see it all happen here in my video!

Happy Crafting!

You Totally Rock!

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Ashley Harris

Hey there! Today I get to share a super fun and cute card! Cards- it’s what I do best. So here is the card:

Now how I made it.

First I gathered my supplies. Card, strips of cardstock and adhesive to begin with.

I adhered the larger piece of patterned paper with the E-Z Dots Permanent® Refillable.

I wanted more dimension to my card so I used the Thin 3D Foam Squares to raise the striped panel on the card.

I then tied twine around that piece and added a bow. I adhered the bow by cutting a Small Dodz in half and adhering the twine bow to the card.

I then stamped my sentiment and adhered it to the card, again using my E-Z Dots Permanent® Refillable Runner.

There you have it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

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

It’s a layout about my daughter, just drifting in sweet dreams.

I made a mixed media Background with Glimmer Mist and a stencil and added some pieces of different papers. The tag and the heart garland is also created with stencils and paint sprays.

To adhere the papers, the tag and the ribbon I used the
E-Z Dots Permanent Dispenser, to adhere the heart-banner I used the 3D Foam Squares.

I finished the layout with some embellishments and sticker.

Altered Photo Frame using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Angela Ploegman

Hello everyone! It’s Angela today, with my FIRST ever Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Crafty Power Blog post! YAY! Can you tell that I’m just a little EXCITED? For my first post, I created this altered photo frame using the Adhesive Sheets-4×6″.

Altered Photo Frame using Adhesive Sheets The Adhesive Sheets were used in two ways. I first used the Basic Lattice die with a repeatable pattern to die cut the Adhesive Sheet directly. I applied the Adhesive Sheet to the painted frame and then applied a glittered embossing powder and heat embossed it. This created a subtle raised pattern with a touch of sparkle.

Additionally, I used the Adhesive Sheets to create the layered heart embellishment. This time, I adhered the Adhesive Sheets directly to the lavender card stock before die cutting the background die with the Lace Hearts die. The vellum top piece was then adhered to the background and the negative space was filled with lavender glitter. The glittered piece was adhered to the foil base using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable dispenser.

Altered Photo Frame using Adhesive Sheets The 3D Foam Squares White Regular were stacked 3 high and adhered directly to the frame. The heart embellishment was then adhered to the 3D Foam Squares. This allowed the 3D Foam Squares placement to be exact and prevented the heart embellishment from being adhered to the tulle.

One last adhesive trick was to use a couple of squares from the E-Z Squares® Refill popped into my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable dispenser around the wooden peg that acts as a frame stand. It kept falling out every time I picked up the frame, causing some frustration. Luckily it was easily resolved with the right adhesive selection!

Butterfly Heart Card

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hello! It is Christine here today and I’m sharing a summery Butterfly Heart card.

I started by distressing and inking a piece of Pink Paislee – Cottage Farms paper. My card is easily assembled using E-Z Runner® Permanent Refilliable.

For my card embellishments I have all the correct adhesives to hand – to attach lace Crafty Power Tape works wonders!

3D Foam Squares are ideal for adding stickers and more.

When attaching a die cut with delicate details then grab your Adhesive Sheets. I’ve used the very lovely Vines of Passion from Spellbinders®.

These sheets effectively make your die cut into a sticker! Just lay your die cut inside, smooth the yellow layer over and apply a little pressure, the stickiness then sticks to your die cut! Remove and position on your card.

The finished card with a few little items added – button and flowers.

A close up photo.

Thank you for joining me today. Here is all the super sticky products I used for my card.

Altered Art Ensemble with Graphic 45

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Beth Pingry

Today I’m sharing the ensemble I created for Create-n-Connect last week in Las Vegas!

I started with a 4×4″ canvas which I covered with paper using Crafty Power Tape. Then I added die cut roses secured with Dodz™ Medium; the leaves were die cut and shaped and held in place with 3D Foam Squares Small Black. The patterned papers were held with E-Z Squares® Refillable and Kraft Classic Photo Corners.The patterned paper images were held with 3D Foam Squares Black Small for dimension. Buttons were adhered with Dodz™ Medium, and the ribbon around the edge is held with Crafty Power Tape.

The metal tin was wrapped in patterned paper held with Crafty Power Tape. It also holds the lace trim at the top. The fussy cut images are adhered with E-Z Squares® Refillable and 3D Foam Squares Small Black.

The star book was created with chipboard covered in patterned paper. The pages were made with cardstock and patterned paper and Ivory Classic Photo Corners, adhered back-to-back with Crafty Power Tape. The fussy cut images on the front use 3D Foam Squares Small Black. The die cut roses are held with Dodz™ Medium.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Layout Starring New Foam Shapes

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone!

I’m back from an inspirational and exciting crafting tradeshow in Las Vegas called Create & Connect. I had a wonderful time doing demo’s in the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L booth, showing how to use adhesive and alter 3D foam shapes.

Today I am sharing a layout I had on display in the booth, featuring the new 3D Foam Stars. Love these! They were a big hit at the show!

I added dark blue glitter to my stars, but you can alter them endless ways….with foil, flock, microbeads, Perfect Pearls, embossing powder, and so on.

The white photo corners helped make my photo pop.

I also added iridescent glitter to a strip of Crafty Power Tape on my title block to give it some sparkle.

These fun buttons were adhered with 3D Foam Squares.

To adhere everything else, I used my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Here’s a pic of me in the booth…Fun times!

In my upcoming blog posts here, I will share more new foam shapes I used. So many design possibilities!

Happy Crafting!

True Romance Easel Card and Gift Box

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Shell Carman

Hi There! Shell Carman here today. I’m sharing 3 projects I created with a truly beautiful shabby chic collection, Kaisercraft True Romance. The pink, peach & sea-foam green colour palette is so gorgeous and girly and I had so much fun creating these projects.

First up I have created a gift box. I simply pulled a tea bag carton apart & traced around it on some white cardstock. I then cut it out & put it together. I wanted to make sure the carton was stuck together properly so I used the very sturdy Crafty Power Tape. To decorate I cut some pattern paper to size using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to stick them down.

I used some lovely shapes from the collectables pack creating layers & dimension with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix Pack. Using my favorite product Adhesive Dots Medium I adhered an arrangement of flowers.

Oval Easel Cards are my favourite card to create. The shape gives that extra special something while still allowing plenty of space for decoration. I did a tutorial on the Oval Easel, click here.
