Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Blog

You are a Lifesaver

Posted on February 22, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hi there everyone. Vicki here to share a card with you today. Do you have a person in your life that you just know if you call for a favor, will help you out in a heartbeat? Well, my sis is just that person for me. Just this week she’s taking me and picking me up from the airport, to make things a bit easier for us. She’s always there for me if I need her. I picked her up a little gift and wanted to make her a special card to go with it. I thought this would be fitting.

I used the Fancy Pants “Down by the Shore” collection for this card, and some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives. I thought I’d show you how I used each of these adhesives for the specific jobs I wanted them to do while creating this card. I rarely make a card with out using Crafty Foam Tape or 3D Foam Squares for Dimension, simply because I think dimension adds so much interest. Here I used Crafty Foam Tape to lift the frame from the card.

I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser for my general adhesive for assembling my card.

Since the border I added across the top started on the frame and then ran across the width of the card, going past the raised frame, I used my 3D Foam Squares, to add one to each side to keep the border level all the way across.

Once again…. an adhesive to fit each job perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!

With Love…

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Christine Emberson

Hello, Christine here today and sharing with you a ‘With Love’ card featuring the brilliant new 3D Foam Hearts.

I’ve selected a cream card base and then used the very vintage Glitz – French Kiss papers. Matting is perfectly and speedily done using my E-Z Runner® – Permanent.

For my flower centres I used 3D Foam Hearts, the tiny ones – so useful that there is a choice of three sizes for different projects. I applied some silver embossing powder to the sticky surface and heat set, I love the effect – metal like. The flowers are Spellbinders™ Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

The pretty scroll is created with Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. I assembled my card raising my flowers up a little with 3D Foam Squares.

A close up photo of those super little hearts…I truly love them!Here is a list of the brilliant sticky products I have used. Happy crafting!

I Love You Is That OK? – A Shiny Card

Posted on February 17, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Power Blog today!

Birgit here with a shiny card to share.

I know Valentine’s Day was 3 days ago but do we really need Valentine’s Day to tell our loved ones how we feel? Exactly! 🙂

I added Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs straight to an Adhesive Sheet, Adhesive Hearts and 3D Foam Hearts. Let me guide you through the creative process.

First cover a piece of cardstock with an Adhesive Sheet 4″x6″

Then I take a couple of the protection backing pieces of Adhesive Hearts (I hold on to them while creating with the Adhesive Hearts for this purpose) and place them on the card covered with the Adhesive Sheet. This way you create a mask that is easy to remove because of the non-sticky surface.

Cover the card with the Silk Microfine Glitter and tap off the excess. Use a soft brush to remove the left over glitter. First the glitter seems a bit dull and transparent. You have to rub it in with your finger tip and you will create a lovey shine. Best part? There will be no losse glitter left. The receiver of the card will not be covered in glitter after opening the envelope!

Now carefully remove SOME of the hearts (I used a paper piercer to lift them up), sprinkle with a second color of glitter, tap off the excess and rub it in again.

Continue with different colors until all hearts are covered.

When I was finished I thought my card needed some more depth so I added a couple of 3D Foam Hearts and covered them with glitter too.

Then I added my card to a slightly bigger piece of white cardstock using the E-Z Dots ® Repositionable. Perfect for me since I never get it straight the first time. And since I went around the edges of the card with my sewing machine there was no need to use a permanent one. Finally I backed the card with black cardstock and created a sentiment with sticker letters.

Tip: Don’t throw away the protection sheet of your Adhesive Sheet either. You can die cut shapes from it and use them as masks the same way I did with the hearts 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this little turorial!

Wishing you a lovely sunday and happy crafting!

Happy Birthday Hearts

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Beth Pingry

Valentines Day is over, but hearts work for so much more than a Valentine! I took 3D Foam Hearts and turned them into balloons…well, sort of!

Today is my oldest son’s birthday, and he’s spending it at college for the first time, which inspired my card today.

To make the balloons look metallic is I used craft foils, which stick to the 3D Foam Hearts. But first I stamped the words Happy & Birthday, trimmed and added them to the surface of the 3D Foam Hearts. Then the foil, with the desired color side ‘up’, just touch and peel until the 3D Foam Hearts were covered. This is a super easy and fun technique!!

I used bakers twine to tie the balloons, with a Dodz™ Small to hold the knot in place. Kraft Classic Photo Corners add more masculine color, coordinate with the chevron shapes, and also frame out the center of the card.

3D Foam Squares separate the 2 main layers, and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips do the rest!

Thanks for coming by today!

The Best Day…

Posted on February 14, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L fans. Thank you so much for stopping by today on Valentine’s Day. The special day with one of the best opportunity to say to someone special “I LOVE YOU”. For this person I’ve made this “The best day” Valentine’s card. It’s pretty in pink and cream but especially with this Silhouette Cameo cutting word bubble not to girly, I think.

The different ric rac layers are add with the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine only on the bottom on each strip. That guarantees the dimensional look of the card. To add word bubble I’ve used the 3D Foam Squares. That’s one of my favorite way to stick embellishments on projects…

Supplies: E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive, 3D Foam Squares Regular Size, Silhouette Cameo, Scraps of Patterned Paper

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day,

Nina

Valentine

Posted on February 13, 2013 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hello to you all.

From the side, so you can see the ribbon.

Today I made a Valentine heart box. It’s made of wood and I started painting it shocking pink! Wauw… what a color!

I drew the outline of the box on the design paper (old Fancy Pants paper “It’s the little things”) and decided to glue it to the box using an Adhesive Sheet.

The Adhesive Sheets are so easy to work with.

To glue the first heart to the design paper I used the blue E-Z Runner®. (Here I show you another heart than you see at the box)

Now I would like to use one of the new Adhesive Hearts-Clear. Hope you can see it, because It’s clear.

I sprinkled some red embossing powder on to the heart.

After I heated it with my heat gun.

Then I began to decorate the design paper with the Adhesive Sheet on the back. I used 3D Foam Squares in two different heights under the birds and Dodz™ Small under the flowers to hold the vines.

When I finished decorating I just removed the protective paper on the backside, and placed it on the lid of the heartbox.

The letters is from Websters Pages collection “Storytellers”.

Have a nice day 🙂

Love Card

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Latisha Yoast

Latisha here, just popping in today to share a fun Love card using the new 3D Foam Hearts. It is perfect for an Anniversary card, or Valentines Day. Plus, I’m demonstrating how to use your adhesive on the outside. Meaning, I’m using the adhesive as an embellishment. Pretty cool right?

Before, I adhered my 3D Foam Hearts to my card, I peeled the top layer of the foam heart off, and sprinkled red glitter over them. I used a fine glitter and it worked perfectly. I made my own little stick pin banners using pins I had laying around, coordinating pattern paper, and then added the hearts. Such a fun embellishment to create. The stamps are from Technique Tuesday, and the pattern paper is Pink Paislee.

Flocking 3D Foam Hearts

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hi! Its Kimberly here again with the oh, so fun 3D Foam Hearts, just released at CHA-W! These are just too much fun to play with! I am sharing a project from the show, using the 3D Foam Hearts with Fun Flock! A nice masculine touch. Let’s face it, I don’t think the little man would appreciate glittered hearts on his layout!

A look at one of the hearts on the layout. The texture it adds is just awesome!

To cover the 3D Foam Hearts with Fun Flock, simply remove the heart from the sheet and apply to your project.

Remove the backing and generously pour the Fun Flock over the top of the heart. (Use a scrap piece of paper under your project to collect the excess.)

Gently burnish the Fun Flock in to the 3D Foam Heart by pushing it with your finger. Continue to push more into the surface until it is completely covered.

Tap off the excess and voila! And the Fun Flock stays. Beautifully!

Have any other mediums you would like to try on the 3D Foam Hearts? I love all the examples the design team has been sharing! We love wearing our adhesive on the outside!

thanks for stopping by!

Glitter Heart “Love” Card

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Vicki Chrisman

With Valentines Day inching ever closer, I just had to squeeze in one more “lovey” card. lol I think Valentines cards are my very favorite. What is there not to love about pinks , reds, glitter, hearts and chocolate?

The new 3D Foam Hearts are such a addition to any project. On this card, I choose to use the large size with iridescent glitter on it as the focal point of the card. My other main adhesive used was MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser. I also used Crafty Foam Tape under the scalloped topper on the card. The papers are from Fancy Pants Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share.
