A-Door-able Cards

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth, just home from a family reunion weekend. These are the thank you cards I’m sending to the relatives!

Beth Pingry Door Cards

These A-Door-Able cards are pretty easy to make and are actually inspired by my own red front door.

The tricky part for me was how to embellish the door. I decided on a wreath with ribbon flowers. I die cut a wreath shape with circle dies, then wrapped Crafty Power Tape and ribbon around it. This will securely hold ribbon!

Next  I placed Dodz™ Adhesive Dots Small onto the wreath then layered pieces of leafy ribbon onto them. Then I trimmed excess from the rose ribbon and placed a Dodz™ Small on the back of each rose. I removed the backing and positioned each onto the wreath.

A quick dab with a marker gave the roses some color.

The door plates were die cut from foil, and then I added a black brad as a door knob.

The door panels are rectangle die cuts that I inked and layered with Thin 3D Foam Squares. The give just enough dimension but not enough to be bulky in this case. Then the panels were adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent. I also used that to adhere the red door piece to a folded card.

Fun with frames

Posted on August 8, 2012 by 3L Design Team Alumnae

Hi everyone!

Vicki here 🙂 Today I thought I would share with you how I love to use scrapbooking supplies and  frames to create “pretties” to hang and enjoy.   When I saw the Glitz, “French Kiss” line, I knew it was going to be perfect for frame projects like this.  So many fun images, papers and stamps, great for layering.

And mine new adhesive of choice for these projects….  E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

I was having so much fun working with these gorgeous papers and images I couldn’t stop.  I have a stash of frames in a box in my supply closet.  Most of them are inexpensive or something I’ve saved, hoping to re-purpose. This frame below was from the Dollar store. It was gold, so I spray painted it a flat off white.

When I’m layering papers and images for projects like this , I keep 3D Foam Squares .. always with in reach. I love using them for dimension!

And again… one more inexpensive frame.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you are inspired to re-purpose your old frames.

SHABBY CHIC MINI ALBUM

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Flo Teixeira

Hi friends, its Flo here for another post! What a pleasure!!

Right now I want to create with fabric. So I designed a mini album with fabric and butterflies for a shabby chic style.

To create the cover, cut two rectangles out of cardboard. Attach fabric on each cover. Fold on the back side like on the photo and adhere with new E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Add some paper on the right side with E-Z Dots® Permanent and add stitches. We can easily sew it, the adhesive does not interfere with the needle.

To create the inside of the mini album :
If your album is small, cut a length of paper and fold like an accordion to have six sides. If your album is bigger, cut 4 papers like on the photo, creating tabs fold to bind the pages together. Adhere it with E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Attached the ends of the accordion on the covers.

Punch for holes for binding the album with ribbon. Create 2 pockets by attaching the side edges and bottom.


Punch each pocket for easy insertion of documents, photos …


Decorate the edges of the two pockets with butterflies.

For this punch 4 small and 2 large butterflies. Attached with E-Z Dots® Permanent, on the back side of the big butterfly, two smaller previously folded. Attach the two small wings on the pockets.

Finally decorate your mini album using DODZ™ – Medium and E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Supplies :

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: DODZ™ – Medium and E-Z Dots® Permanent.

Prima flowers, Stampin’Up die cuts and Artemio butterfly punch.

Flower Box

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello – Christine here today and I’ve chosen to show you a ‘pretty in pink’ gift box.

The box is created using Spellbinders Square Petal Top Box.  I selected Echo Park – Summer Days paper. Cut/emboss.

Fold on the embossed lines, to make a crisp crease use a bone folder.  Using your brilliant new E-Z Dots® Permanent, apply the adhesive to the flaps and adhere. It works so well, you can apply the adhesive exactly where you want it and you can be sure of a firm hold.

Next, using different colour felts, cut Spiral Blossoms Three.

Roll and apply E-Z Dots Permanent to the middle section, it is brilliant for sticking fabric and felt too!

Cut and attach a length of ribbon, again this adhesive will work perfectly.

To finish attach the three flowers.  A great gift box to be used for a jewellery or a table favour.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Rose is a Rose Card

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Pink roses are among my favorite flowers, but in this drought anything still in bloom works for me!

Beth Pingry Rose Card

Today’s card features a stamped image of roses. I stamped twice onto white cardstock, colored both sets of flowers with markers, then chose the one I liked best. I added 3D Foam Squares to the back side of the image, directly behind the roses only. I fussy cut the flowers.

For the second image, I airbrushed pink around the edges, then trimmed the image closely.

I colored the exposed foam of the 3D Foam Squares with a light pink marker to reduce the contrast between colored flowers and the stamped image. This was done before adhering them to the stamped image.

The second image was mounted onto medium kraft cardstock, which was sanded and inked, and adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

Next, I flipped over the image, adhered the fussy cut flowers to the image and added bling. On the back side I used Crafty Foam Tape at all the corners.

I embossed the larger piece and then sanded the details and inked the edges. I tied a white ribbon around the embossed cardstock, secured it in place and mounted it all onto pink cardstock with E-Z Dots® Permanent adhesive.

I didn’t love the bow I tied, so I added a flower on top of it and secured it with Dodz™ 3D adhesive.

You can see the colored foam on this side view, as well as the dimension from the Crafty Foam Tape and 3D Foam Squares.

Here’s a larger front view~

Photo Birthday Card

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello again, I’m back today featuring a photo birthday card that I created for my mum’s birthday.  It features an original photo of her as a sweet little girl and this is where the Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners proved so useful.  I was able to use them to hold the photo firmly.  At some point if my mum wants to remove the photo she can without any damage.  I’ve also made sure the flowers, swirls and leaves are not attached to the photo by carefully placing them and raising them up with 3D Foam Squares.  The flowers featured are Spellbinders™ Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.

Here you can see how the photo corners are virtually invisible.

A final look at the card.

Here is a list of the products I have used.  Thanks for visiting today.

Simply Amazing Ombre Photo Corners

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

One of the things I love about the Clear Polypropylene Photo Corners is that you can color them with alcohol based ink. For this quick card I colored the corners with Copic Markers, in colors to create the trendy “ombre” effect.

Simply Amazing Ombre Photo Corner card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I started with the darkest color for the top row, then lighter for each row. The bottom part of the card features bakers twine tied around it. The embellishment is adhered with White Crafty Foam Tape.

I think this card is a fun way to use supplies beyond the original purpose!

See you soon!

Wishing you Happiness

Hello Everyone

Greetings from Australia, it is my turn again and I am getting ready to leave to do some teaching at a Scrapbooking Expo here in Australia. I will be using lots of my favorite 3L Scrapbooking Adhesives and products in my classes. I am teaching 9 classes over three days.

I decided to do a card to share with you. It is an easel card, which means it can stand up. It is quite easy to make. You need 12 x12 inch piece of cardstock. Cut it in half so it is 6 inch wide and 12 inches long. Fold it in half so it is now 6 inches x 6 inches. Have the fold at the top of the card and fold the top layer of the card back on it’s self. The fold will be in the middle of the top 1/4 of the card. The edge of the top of the folded card should be along first fold of the card. This will make the top layer of the card 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. From the left over piece of your cardstock, cut a 6 x 6 inch square. Add tape to the top fold piece of your card. Adhere your 6 x 6 inch square to it. This will allow you to stand the top layer of the card up and it will rest on the bottom layer of the card.

From a piece of Prima Paper, I cut two squares 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches. One is for the front of the card and one inside.

I cut some of the images from the Prima print papers and used Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White near the top of the image and my E-Z Runner at the bottom. I cut some of the flowers from the print paper as well and used the Thin 3D Foam Squares to build up the images, overlapping them over the ballerina image. I inked a chipboard frame from Imaginarium Designs along with a chipboard title. I used some of Prima’s Flowers and added them over the frame. I found the DODZ™ – Medium perfect for sticking the flowers down. It was so quick and easy with no glue everywhere. For the card to stand up, you need to add a ledge on the bottom layer of the card. I wanted to use some Photo Corners – Classic Style, Silver to give it a classic look.

I thought the silver would look lovely with the soft print paper. I cut 1 inch x 1 inch squares and place a photo corner on the top and bottom point of my squares then overlapped them on top of each other to form a border across the bottom of my card.

I chose some lace to match my card and used my roll of Crafty Power Tape – 81’/25m with Built-In Dispenser to adhere the lace to my card. I find that gluing lace does not work to well for me. It is hard not to get glue on the front of the lace. The Crafty Power Tape was perfect for this. I then place my silver corner border onto the lace using more of my Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White. I love using the Foam Squares in whatever size – black or white, thin or thick, they make the job so much easier.

The card looks so pretty with the soft print papers and the the lovely images. The silver Photo Corners – Classic Style, give it such a classic touch.

thanks so much for looking
