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!

Oval Easel Card Tutorial

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Shell Carman

Hi There!

Shell Carman here. I have had a few requests to show how I made my Oval Easel Card so I have put together a step by step!

1. Take a piece of 12X12 cardstock. I have used Kraft card. Cut in half to 6X12″. Put the spare half aside to use later.
2. Fold the 6X12″ piece in half to make a 6X6″ card base
3 & 4. Turn the card so that the fold is at the top. Place the Oval cutter (or just print a template from the computer & trace around it) so the top is just sitting over over the fold. You can use any size you like but I have used 3.5X4.5″.

5. Cut a complete oval from the other piece you had placed aside
6. Take the double oval piece. Make sure oval is fully folded out flat. Score the top oval half way. Fold forward.
7. Fold back oval & place E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on bottom half.

Rule a line to cut off tip of oval. Cut off tip. Adhere oval cream side up using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to bottom oval
15. Cut another oval slightly smaller than the base of your card (Kaisercraft Curiosity Eccentric). Distress & Ink edges. Score this oval in half. Place tape on either sides of score mark. Stick to top oval making sure you line up score marks

16. Fussy cut bird & half of twig from Kaisercraft Curiosity Peculiar.
-Cut 1.5X5″ strip from Kaisercraft Curiosity Eccentric. Cut a V out the end to make a pendant. Distress & Ink edges.
-Cut the laughter box & the fruit branch from the Kaisercraft Curiosity Unusual paper. Distress & ink
– Cut 2 flowers & X 1 branch with flowers from Kaisercraft Curiosity Queer paper. Distress & Ink
17. Adhere Eccentric strip to front of card using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser
18. Adhere X2 flowers to front of card using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser placing one top right & one bottom right

19 & 20. Using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size adhere fruit branch to front of card middle right.
21.Adhere the flower with branch overlapping fruit branch using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser
22 & 23.Using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size adhere laughter box just left of centre. Place foam squares on top, bottom & left side only. Place E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser

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.

Again I have used Adhesive Dots Medium, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser & 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add decoration to my easel card.

Lastly I created a tag to match the card.

Smile Card With New Designer Shapes

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha with you today. The Create & Connect Trade Show is wrapping up. This is where Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L just debuted new product! How exciting!! One of my top five favorite adhesives product by them, has to be the Foam Squares. Who is with me? Well, at the trade show, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L showcased more of the Designer Shapes. Today, I am showcasing a card I made using the banners, stars and rectangles. I am so excited about these!

The rectangle and stars were coated in glitter, and I stuck pattern paper to the banners (then trimmed to fit). These were so easy to work with, and I cannot wait to play more with all of the shapes!

Thank you for visiting today!

adding dimension to journaling cards

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi there! Kimberly here, with my usual quick and easy cards! It doesn’t make them any less heartfelt, though, so enjoy the presto card and the joy the recipient feels when they get it!

The patterned paper on this card is actually a pre-made journaling card that has been die cut. I thought it would be cool to use a circle sentiment stamp inside the circle that has been die cut, but to help make the whole thing pop, I knew I would need to use my all-time favorite 3D Foam Squares White Regular to adhere the journaling card.

I hope that when my husband finds this card tomorrow, it makes him smile!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Decoration – Number 4

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Stephanie Schütze

Welcome, it’s Stephanie here today with a Birthday Decoration for a young little girl.

I will show you how I made a birthday decoration for my daughter by using a lot of cute little embellishments and different supplies from Scrapbook Adhesives.

1 – This is my base, a number 4 I painted with white Gesso.

2 – I used Chalk Edgers from Ingvild Bolme to color it in a ombre look of red/rosa.

3 – Then I used a stencil and Modelling Paste to create little roses.

4 – Next step was to varnish the surface with acrylic varnish.

5 – Applying the photo by using the Regular Size White 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l.

6 – I added the photo an some pearl sticker. For the little crown I also used the 3D Foam Squares

7 – To fix the white roses ribbon I used the MyStik Permanent Strips Dispenser

8 – Each circle and button I adhered with the 3D Foam Squares Small White

9 – More fun with Foils and 3D Foam Hearts

10 – I combined a butterfly and a ballerina by using the Dodz Adhesive Dots Small

11 – I adhered them on the number with the 3D Foam Squares Small White

12 – For the glitter on the ballet skirt I applied some adhesives with the E-Z Dots Permanent refillable dispenser and filled it off with pink glitter.

As you can see I also used some sticker and more pearls and other sweet things like little girls like it. The birthday of my daughter is already gone and I can tell you she was very very excited about her Number 4.

Thanks for visiting and have a nice creative day!

Best Wishes Card

Posted on July 19, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today with a best wishes card.

Once I assembled my card base and die cuts it was simple and speedy to construct using the new E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refilliable. Should I run out of adhesive it is so easy to just slot in a refill, also all my dispensers are interchangeable – so handy for when my desk gets a little busy! The pretty papers are Pink Paislee – Cottage Farms. The die cut curve is created with Spellbinders® A2 Scalloped Borders.
