Springtime Boxes

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hi again – it’s Christine here and today I’m sharing a Spring project. I have created little boxes to use as table favours. I’m putting some chocolate mini eggs inside, although equally these could be used for little gifts of jewellery, key chains etc.

The boxes were created with Spellbinders™ Bracket Edge Box die template and I used My Stik™ Permanent Strips to assemble them. The flower is Anemone Flower Topper die template and I used 3D Foam Squares to stack them as it adds extra dimension.

I chose to stamp a little tag and add some twine, popped this under the 3D Foam Squares to secure.

I was able to put together some colour variations by going through my scrap box of card stock and selecting Spring colours of greens and yellows, it always feels good to use up scraps!

I think they are going to look good on my dining table and I don’t think the mini eggs will last very long!

Wishing you all a happy sunny Springtime!

The supplies I used:

Puppy Love Scrapbook Page

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Is there anything sweeter than babies and puppies? I don’t think so! I had little Jonny set up to take some photos and our dog, Buster, came in to check on us. He didn’t like to be left out of the fun or the picture!

This was a fairly simple scrapbook page to create. The papers, all from My Mind’s Eye™, were cut and layered to mix patterns. Once I had everything cut, I added Dotz™ Medium and Dodz™ Small adhesive dots to the back sides of all the pieces.

Dodz™ adhesive dots come out of the dispenser with a clear covering, so you can stick it to your paper and then peel the covering off when you are ready. No more sticky messes!

I inked the edges of the papers with teal and yellow inks. I inked four white Photo Corners – Classic Style to match the papers. I simply dabbed the ink pad onto the corners. I colored the chipboard and sticker letters with a black permanent marker.

Tip: Keep white embellishments on hand – they’re easy to customize to just the right color!

Once I had the layers stuck down I added the black Photo Corners Classic Style to a few points on the page. They help to frame out the focal point. I love to double them up on multiple layers.

Here is the page again, a little larger – thanks for letting me share one of my favorite photos! Jonny is taller than me now, and Buster has been gone for a while but I remember this like it was yesterday!

Supplies:

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: Dodz™ Small, Dodz™ Medium, Creative Photo Corners Black and White
My Mind’s Eye Stella and Rose Collection papers
Clearsnap Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink- Yellow Ochre, Turquoise Pigment inks

Have a great day!

Chevrons with Photo Corners

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Ashley Harris

Well hello! It’s Ashley here today to share with you a fun technique using your Classic Photo Corners- Kraft. Making a chevron pattern. Here is what it looks like finished:

Let’s show you how. So you want to start with whatever pattern or solid you want to show through on the bottom of the card. Start placing your photo corners where you want the chevron to be.

Then complete the other side with the photo corners so they are opposite the hill and valleys.

Then you put your patterned paper over the tops of the photo corners and embellish your card. Embellishments always stay on better with extra adhesive in the form of Dodz. Oh how I love those!!

Super easy and just a fun way to use your photo corners!

Have a wonderful day!

A Gift Bag Made from an Envelope

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello!
My name is Christine Emberson and I am thrilled to be on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ Design Team! I live in England, in the rural county of Kent and work part time for a law firm in London – I rush home to craft!
I was introduced to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ just over a year ago and was immediately impressed by the quality and range of products. Now, I would not contemplate beginning a project without my SAB3L essentials to hand.

For my very first project, I would like to share with you a gift bag created from an envelope.

Select an envelope and seal closed with My Stik™ Permanent Strips.

Using a trimmer or scissors, cut the end away from one of the shorter sides of the envelope.

Score the other three sides at approximately 0.5” (not the opening side).

Fold to define scoring.

Insert your hand into the envelope and shape to create a gift bag, the side panels slot inwards and the bottom panel sits flat with triangular tabs.

Secure these flat with Crafty Power Tape.

To decorate your gift bag…
The papers I have chosen are Bo Bunny – Country Garden.
I have selected Spellbinders™ die templates – Labels Twenty-Two, Daisy Flower Topper and Wonderful Wings.

I secured my decorations with 3D Foam Squares White Mix Pack.

Score and fold Labels Twenty-Two in half, this will create the closure for your gift bag.
Attach twine and adhere to back section of gift bag with My Stik™ Permanent Strips.

When finished, secure shut with a mini peg.

These are the supplies I used:

Dogs Love Easter Too!

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Today I’m sharing an Easter themed scrapbook page starring my fur-baby, Cindy. The Easter Bunny always brings her an Easter Basket filled with dog treats. With enough coercion, she’ll wear the bunny ears too. And by coercion, I mean treats.

I have really enjoyed using the kit from Imaginisce, all the patterned paper, die cuts and stickers coordinate with each other. Once I printed the photos the layout came together quickly.

I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips (in the red applicator) to adhere the photos to the mats and to the cardstock. I also used it to adhere the border strips that were cut from patterned paper.

I used Dodz™ 3D to adhere the die cuts and fancy cut Cindy photo. They provide a bit of dimension without hassle. Dodz™ feed from the box, simply pull the plastic cover piece off the liner paper, stick your Dodz™ where you like it, the remove the plastic cover. No fuss, no touch, and nothing sticks down until you are ready!

See the little ‘lift’ I gave the banner!

And the flowers & bunny have some dimension too! I swapped the bunny from another sticker in the set and used a Dodz 3D™ on it.

Supplies I used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L:

Imaginisce: Hippity Hop Collection – papers, stickers, die cuts

Cardstock: Turquoise and white

The Paper Studio: Gracie Moon Lower White letter stickers

Cindy and I hope you find lots of treats in your Easter Basket!

My Brag Book-Let’s try it again

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Leica Forrest

Thanks for joining me today. I posted a blog post during our fun Fancy Pants blog hop, and I guess photobucket just decided not to let me share some of my images. So I am going to redo it today with lot’s of photos. fingers crossed.a couple images repeat, but I think you will be glad you stayed for the ride. 🙂

When I was creating this brag book I focused on sharing how versatile the Adhesive Sheets were. (My preference being the 12×12 size). There is no adhesive out there that compares to how flawless they adhere things and as well to being completely hidden. I use them for EVERY single transparency, vellum and photos.

Let’s begin with how to adhere the Adhesive Sheets to the transparency. At one end of the sheet is a little 1/2″ strip that peels off. I peel that off and then line up on the pp as best as I can. This is going to determine how well you cover the page.

When adhering it, make sure you slowly unroll the adhesive, rubbing the whole way to try and avoid air bubbles.

Once you are done, rub it all over to make sure the adhesive has adhered. You can see, I do have a few wrinkles along the bottom, just make sure you give a little extra rub.

Now let’s adhere it to the Kraft book. Yes! You can adhere it to coloured paper and still have the flawless coverage as you would if you put it on white.

When I cover transparencies, I ALWAYS cover the entire 12x 12 even though I know I might not need it. In this case I only needed 2/3 of the transparency, but it is super easy just to get it done at the same time. Now I have extra ready to go to decorate in the album.

Taking some of that extra,

I took my EK Success flower punch and punched some flowers. Don’t be rough as the transparencies could get stuck in the punch, just be firm.

Now see, you can’t see it at all on the photo page protectors. It makes it so easy to jazz up an ordinary photo holder album.

Now I want to show you a few more pages of this album. It’s a work in progress, my plan is to add photos from birth to ? (whenever it fills) featuring some of our faves over the years.

For the following page, I just needed to use my MyStik Permanent adhesive as it was just paper on paper application. Quick & Easy. You will notice that all the cardstock I’m using is Core’dinations. If the embossed pattern is large, I switch and use my Crafty Power Tape as it is a little more flexible to get in the grooves with a stronger hold as well.

This was fun decorating the pockets.

This page was created to some of the kids teeth. The different sizes of the Keepsake Envelopes is so AWESOME!!!! Perfect for small items like this.
I also know I want to put my favourite images on a disk so that we never lose them, so I made the inside back cover special and decorated it. That is my favourite thing about our CD holders, is that they have extra room to customize them.

Thanks for sticking around for this long post. I had so much fun making it and I hope you walk away feeling comfortable to try the little “Extras” that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L makes. I find that is one thing they rock at, making adhesives perfect for all the different tasks.

A Purse Card with Keepsake Envelopes Tutorial

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Beth Pingry

I was thinking about the Keepsake Envelopes, and the different sizes they come in, and how I like the way the flap looks…and then I figured out they looked like a purse! So I pulled together some Fancy Pants Designs papers and went to work!

Purse Card Tutorial

Each Keepsake Envelope package comes with a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are self adhesive on the back side with a resealable flap:

For this card I used the 2 x 5″ Keepsake Envelope. I trimmed patterned paper to fit inside, then trimmed another piece to match the flap, and adhered it to the floral paper with MyStik™ Permanent Strips. I slid them in and sealed the Keepsake Envelope.

Punch small holes at the two sides, and feed a spiral of wire through the holes.

Add some bling and a stamp a greeting, and layer it all onto patterned paper and cardstock with Thin 3D Foam Squares for dimension.

It’s super fast and super easy and I still have several more Keepsake Envelopes in the package to use!

These are my supplies:

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: Keepsake Envelopes – Assorted, MyStik™ Permanent Strips, Thin 3D Foam Squares – Black
Fancy Pants Designs: Spring Fever and Bird Cage from It’s The Little Things Collection
Beadalon: Artistic Wire – Gold, Coiling Gizmo
Want2Scrap: Gold Bling
WorldWin Papers: Cardstock
Flourishes: Taglines Stamp
Clearsnap: Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink – Chestnut Roan

Thank you!

It’s the Little Things Frame and Blog Hop!

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Beth Pingry

I love the colors and patterns in the “Its the Little Things” collection from Fancy Pants Designs. Black was incorporated into the designs so nicely, it’s great to have papers with black patterns!

This framed piece came together so quickly and easily! The patterned label was part of the set, and the word Love is from the Glitter Cuts, a glittered transparency design sheet. I adhered Love with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L MyStik™ Permanent Fine Adhesive, you can’t see the adhesive through the word!

I mounted the label onto cardstock with MyStik™ Permanent Strips, then onto Headed South paper, then cardstock again. I added the Photo Corners-Classic Black because I love photo corners, and I think they help frame out the piece.

The flowers were created using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die template with Spring Fever, Shuffle, and Four Birds papers, the leaves from Honeysuckle. I rolled the flowers around the handle of a paintbrush then adhered them with Dodz™. I curled the leaves for dimension and added 3D Foam Squares below the bends to keep the dimension. A little bling and it’s done!

Supplies:

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L: MyStik™ Permanent Strips, MyStik™ Permanent Fine Adhesive, Dodz™ 3D, 3D Foam Squares, Photo Corners – Classic Style, Black

My Brag Book

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Leica Forrest

I simply {{ADORE}} Fancy Pants! This company always has such elegant papers and embellishments. When I received the Summer’s End paper line, I was simply excited cause I knew that their Brag Book and this line would become one of my favourite projects. What better than a conglomeration of favourite photos with tidbits of info. Perfect.

My favourite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L product EVER is the Adhesive Sheets. They are a staple in my book. I use them for most of my projects. Now, would you have thought that you would get such a neat result by putting the transparency over kraft? Almost always I put it over a light coloured cardstock. But this time, I thought let’s put the adhesive to the test! Would you be able to see any traces of it????
I started out with the Fancy Pants transparency, a 12×12 Adhesive Sheet. I peeled off one edge and lined it up on the transparency and then slowly rolled back the protective coating and rubbed the adhesive onto the paper.

It will happen that you could get “wrinkles or lines” like I have a few. Rub them out with your hand. no big deal.

Thanks for stopping by!

Its The Little Things Cards

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Beth Pingry

The fun folks at Fancy Pants are blog hopping with us this week! They provided the collection called “It’s the little things” for us to work with, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I love all the patterns in it!

Life has been crazy busy lately, but I never run out of the need for cards, so I’m sharing 2 quick and easy cards today, made from Fancy Pants and SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES AND 3L™ products.

Both cards use Keepsake Envelopes, for the first one I positioned the smallest Keepsake Envelope, which is about 2 x 2”, over part of a pattern of hearts. It has adhesive on the back side, which allowed me to create a background inside the envelope. I trimmed the ticket, added the Live Laugh Love rub-on. I cut off the envelope flap then trimmed a small piece of that to cover the adhesive on the front of the envelope, to make it a pocket instead of a closed envelope.

The Glitter Cuts flower border is adhered with MyStik™ Permanent Fine adhesive and the papers are adhered MyStik Permanent Strips. The Keepsake Envelope had Thin 3D Foam Squares to give it a little lift, which also makes the ticket have more lift off the card.

For the second card I cut a square of patterned paper to fit inside the Keepsake Envelope, then added the birdcage rub on, then sealed the Keepsake Envelope. I used a border sticker, more patterned paper and the rest of the rub on for the bird cage, as well as the phrase to complete this card.

These are the supplies I used:

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L: Keepsake Envelopes, MyStik Permanent Strips, MyStik Permanent Fine, Thin 3D Foam Squares Black

Fancy Pants Designs: It’s the Little Things Collection Glitter Cuts, Element Stickers, Rub-ons, and patterned papers Feathered, Four Birds, ITLT Strips, Headed South, Shuffle

WorldWin Papers: Kraft Cardstock

Thanks!
