“Be Yourself” Scrapbook Layout

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Kelly Klapstein

Hi everyone! It’s Kelly here today to share a few thoughts about my latest scrapbook layout.

Have you ever hung around with 13-year-old girls and really listened to what they talk about? I have the pleasure of doing so on a regular basis because of my youngest daughter and her friends.

Most days, they make me laugh…with their funny stories and playfulness. They are still at that age of awkward innocence, trying to figure out who they are, but not taking themselves too seriously.

But sometimes they make me feel sad, when I hear them commenting on their appearances, and the words “ugly” and “fat” are thrown about. It’s hard for me to bite my tongue, and last week when my daughter and her best friend were sitting in the kitchen making flower headbands, there was some negative chatter. Right then and there I told them to put on their headbands and come outside for some photos! I wanted them to see themselves as they truly are….young, beautiful….but most of all, I hoped they would always believe that not matter how old you are, you can “Be Yourself”, be confident and feel good about life!

And that is the story behind this layout.

I used the new July sketch from Canadian Scrapbooker’s Sketchy Challenge to design this layout, and three different adhesives helped me put it all together.

I used my E-Z Runner™ Refillable Permanent Strips to adhere my paper:

You can see that my ‘red’ E-Z Runner™ Permanent Strips Refill is inside my ‘green’ E-Z Dots™ Repositionable dispenser. I love these interchangeable runners and dispensers!

I used the Click ‘n Stick™ clear mounting squares to adhere my photo:

The Adhesives Sheets were perfect to help stick down the chipboard circles:

Maybe seeing her photo on a layout like this will inspire one 13-year-old girl to believe she truly is beautiful! I hope scrapbooking brings some beauty into your life too 🙂

Happy Crafting!

Posted on June 29, 2013 by AJ Otto

Happy weekend!! Summer is officially here in the Pacific Northwest…Around here the joke is that summer doesn’t start until after the 4th (the weather can be iffy sometimes! 😉 but it’s BLAZING hot all of a sudden- and we haven’t even hit July!

Celebrate Patriotic card by AJ Otto for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

So, I am kicking off the Independence Day Celebration a few days early with this card!

I adhered the larger white panel with 3D Foam Squares, I usually use Crafty Foam Tape for these larger panels, but I can’t find it in my mess. The thin cardstock strips are adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable- this is awesome adhesive for the smaller pieces you want to adhere.

Summery Card

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Kimberly Crawford

Hello again! Kimberly here, hoping that your summer is off to a fabulous start! I don’t know about you, but my time is pretty limited these days, with a busy little boy, so when I need to make cards, I need them to be quick and easy, but still cute. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L has so many products that make it a snap to make cards!

For this card, I rounded the corners on a journaling card and foam mounted it to my card base using 3D Foam Squares White Small.

To adhere the little strip of paper, I used my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser . Its so easy to control, it makes it easy to get the adhesive where you want it. And not in other places.

And finally I applied 3D Foam Squares White Small to the back of the chipboard. For more about this process, including how to remove the sticky from the chipboard, where you don’t want it left behind, check out this blog post here-Using Stickers and 3D Foam Squares.

thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate Dad with a Card on Father’s Day!

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Beth Pingry

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!

Any day is a great day to celebrate all that Dad has done for you! This card is easy, a little rough around the edges, and and it’s got some plaid, just like Dad!

Core’dinations cardstock, die cut with a Spellbinders die, and stamped with a Unity stamp gives me the center piece. I sanded the embossed lines and edges, and added Want2Scrap black bling. This is adhered with 3D Foam Squares to give it some lift. The background plaid is Jillibean Soup paper on top of more Core’dinations, both sanded at the edges, and I also embossed and sanded lines into the green paper. For these I used E-Z Squares Refillable adhesives.

Take a minute and give dad a hug and a smooch and let him know you appreciate him (and apologize for all the grey hair you caused)!

Thanks for coming by,

Beth Pingry

Glittered For You Card

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Latisha Yoast

Hello there! Latisha here with you today. I am sharing a quick and easy way, on how to adhere glitter to wood veneer embellishments.

To start, I grabbed my wood veneer peacock feather embellishments, a few colors of glitter, and the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Adhesive. The reason I chose this adhesive, is because the E-Z Dots only adhere to the pressure that is underneath the opening of the adhesive. Meaning, adhesive strips would not be hanging off of the wood, only to the edge. Once my wood pieces are coated with the adhesive, I sprinkled glitter over the them, then tapped off the excess glitter onto a sheet of paper.

I stamped the “for you” sentiment by Avery Elle, onto the white card stock. Then using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares, I adhered the glittered feathers onto the card. I admire a simple card, and this simple embellishment gives this card such a a bold new look.

Thanks for joining me today!

1, 2, 3 & 4 Easy Cards

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Beth Pingry - admin

Today I will show you an easy model for a quick card that you can use for many occasions.

These are the tools and products used:

First I punch a circle and cut the 3×4″ paper into a banner.

I adhere a punched border or ribbon.

And mount the banner onto the card with the Thin 3D Foam Squares in white – to give it a nice lift 🙂

Now it’s time to bring out the butterfly punches.

I punch 2 different sizes of butterflies and a 2″ scallop circle.

The butterflies are only adhered down on the middle part of the body, and the wings are slightly bend. A couple of pearls or gems will make it real pretty.

To add some more dimension to the card, I used the Regular size 3D foam squares to mount the butterfly part with.

And Voilá – A very easy card + some more samples with other papers from my scraps stash:

Have fun being creative today.
