Embossing Clear Keepsake Envelopes

Hello! Kimberly here with a fun discovery I made a few days ago. I love happy paper crafting accidents, don’t you? This one all started with a pile of embossing folders on my table and a package of Keepsake Envelopes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

The Keepsake Envelopes come in a pack of 10, in assorted sizes. The cool part about them, aside from being a great way to store items, is that they are self adhesive! You can see the white backing, protecting the adhesive, in the photo above. The adhesive is clear, so once the backing is removed, it will not be seen on your project.

Simply place the Keepsake Envelope inside your embossing folder. (I used the one measuring 2 1/8″ x 4 /18.”) I placed the envelope flap closed, to keep the embossed pattern the same, in case I chose to close it. Pass this through your manual die cutting machine, per your manufacturer’s instructions for embossing with folders.

Once you remove the Keepsake Envelope, it will look like this. Even the backing gets embossed, but it does not cause a problem.

I used my Keepsake Envelope on this card. It holds a tag with the Eiffel Tower and other various Paris ephemera. Someday I will visit Paris, but until then, I will continue to dream!

Here is a closer look at the embossed texture. Its pretty cool!

Thanks for stopping by!

Embellishing 3D Foam Hearts

Hi, it’s Beth today! I have a card showing an embellished 3D Foam Heart shape using embossing powder. Yes, you can heat emboss our 3D Foam!

 

 

Embellished Heart Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

Start by layering Graphic 45’s Bird Song Collection patterned paper onto the card base, with Black Photo Corners to frame the design. Trim a patterned paper tag and mat it with black cardstock, then adhere it with E-Z Squares® Refillable. A satin ribbon is tied through the tag, and adhered with Black 3D Foam Squares for dimension.

To embellish the 3D Foam Heart, place the heart on the tag, then remove the top liner to reveal the adhesive. Sprinkle embossing powder and heat it until the powder is melted. The 3D Foam is high density and stands up to heat, it doesn’t curl or melt!

 

 

Embellished Heart Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

 

 

This card is easy and fast, and would be great as a birthday or thinking of you card, just change up the sentiment inside!

You can add media such as glitter, micro beads, mica flakes, flock and even Metallic Transfer Foil to the adhesive surface of 3D Foam Shapes. You can find lots of inspiration when you click here: Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Thanks for coming in today, please leave a comment and tell us what you embellish with!

Layout – Secret Place

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a layout made with a memory from our holiday in Italy.

I was inspired by the old church on the photo an added a little bit of mixed media techniques.

I made a step by step tutorial for this, you can follow the process.

1 – My first step was to sprinkle with watercolor paint on tissue paper. I have always wanted to try this for a layout.

2 – Preparing my photos and paper. I decided to use two photos with the same motif but in different sizes.

3 – Adhering the bigger photo with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser.

4 – Sticking on the tissue paper with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser.

5 – Sticking on a piece of book page with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser.

6 – Fixing the photo with 3D Foam Squares.

7 – Blending with the Chalk Edgers from Ingvild Bolme.

8 – Adhering some Sequins by using the  DODZ ADhesive Dots Small

9 – Sticking on a little embellishment with the 3D Foam Squares Small White

10 – Under the sticker of the camera (Studio Calico) is a  3D Foam Squares Small White added to push it in the front. Paper rolls, sticker and a little quote are adhering with the E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable dispenser

11 – Sticking on a Prima clock (from the back of a packing) with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser

12 – Finishing the layout with my title by using some alpha stickers and a alpha “S” from Donna Downey by adhering it with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser.

Thanks for visiting! I wish you a nice day!

Happy Day Card – Repositionable Adhesive Resist Technique

Hello there! It’s Angela today sharing a card featuring a custom background created with the E-Z Dots Repositionable Dispenser.

Happy Day Card - Repositionable Adhesive Resist Technique by Angela Ploegman for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3LHappy Day Card – Repositionable Adhesive Resist Technique

The background was inspired by Stephanie’s mixed media scrapbook page post, posted here: Mixed Media scrapbook page. Stephanie inspired me to get out my misting masks. When I was using the E-Z Dots Repositionable Dispenser to help keep the mask in place on the white card stock, the inspiration struck to fill in the design with the dots as an additional resist.

1. Hold the stencil in place by applying the E-Z Dots Repositionable adhesive to the back of the stencil and apply it to the smooth side of the white card stock:

2. Fill in the positive spaces on the stencil with more E-Z Dots Repositionable Adhesive:

3. Mist, let dry and then remove the stencil. Remove the repositionable adhesive with your fingertips:

Here is a side by side comparison of the background design with and without the additional repositionable adhesive masking:

I love the extra depth this technique gives to the design!

4. Swap a E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refill into the E-Z Dots Repositionable Dispenser and adhere the background to a black card base:

5. Arrange two double wide strips of the Crafty Foam Tape-Black 13′ diagonally across the upper left and lower right of the card as shown below, remove the backing, place the sentiment tag and cover the remaining exposed foam tape with glittered black flock:

Mini Gift Card

Hello!  Christine here today with a mini gift card.  I’ve gone for a natural look and with the help of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products it was very quick to make.  Great to have a supply of these mini cards to hand at home.

Mini Gift Card Holder by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I trimmed a piece of natural hessian (burlap) to mat onto a piece of cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable.  This new shape dispenser fits snugly in your hand and enables you to direct the adhesive strips exactly where you need them.

Using a die template I cut a piece of chipboard and some pretty paper.

Using an Adhesive Sheet I was able to stick my die cut straight onto the chipboard.

My E-Z Runner® is in use again to adhere my chipboard.  I wrapped a little twine to add to the natural look.

I selected a metal embellishment that complemented the shape of the die cut.  3D Foam Squares are strong enough to hold weighty embellishments too.

The finished mini gift card.

Thank you for joining me today.

Here is a list of the super sticky products I have used:

Chalkboard Art Ensemble

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

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!

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!

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.
