Play Ball! Baseball Scrapbook Page

Nothing says summertime like a baseball game! And living with 3 Chicago Cubs baseball super-fans, we see a lot of baseball games!

Play Ball baseball scrapbook page by Beth Pingry

 

This fun Game On kit from Websters Pages features nice bright colors and sports themed images, perfect for me!

For the border I aligned the printed words with just a few strips of adhesive from the E-Z Runner®, all the way down the edge.

I used the E-Z Runner® to mat the photos and other blocks.

For the “Clark and Addison” street signs, I printed photos I had taken of the signs. I used Thin 3D Foam Squares and regular 3D Foam Squares to add dimension and depth. This is how I placed them on the back sides of the signs ~

Using this technique, the signs look like more realistic, one side is ‘closer’ to you than the other, like this~

I also added 3D Foam Squares behind the drink image, just a single regular layer, so that it had dimension.

  • E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips

Thanks for reading, and Play Ball!

Enjoy the Process Card

Hello everyone, Vicki here.  I couldn’t resist playing with these beautiful Webster’s Pages papers for the card I created for this blog post. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I decided to create a card to give my sister for Mother’s Day. I LOVE butterflies, so of course I chose to make them the focal point of my card 🙂

My “go to” adhesive is the E-Z Runner®, its always on my work table.  I used it for putting the layers of my card together, but I used white 3D Foam Squares to give lift to the individual die cut pieces with the butterflies off the paper a bit. It always amazes my what a difference just a little bit of dimension can make.

This is just a little something I wanted to share, along with my card. As I was looking at the papers sitting here on my desk, my eye was drawn to this beautiful paper with the rose image. I remember that I had some vintage metal trays in my supply closet that this paper would look so great on. Something as simple as adding paper to this tray… finding a new use for something old makes me HAPPY!  The E-Z Runner® did the job, perfectly adhering the paper to the metal.

Sometimes a quick simple project works into the day perfectly.  Almost instant gratification:)

Enjoy the process!
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Vicki Chrisman

Webster’s Pages and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog Hop

Hi, Christine here and I’m featuring one of my absolute favourite things today..butterflies!

I used the gorgeous papers and products from Webster’s Pages – Everyday Poetry collection.  I created a card that is, to my mind, a little like a mini scrapbook layout – I kept adding more and more!

I prepared all my card elements beforehand, the patterned paper, rose ribbon and bakers twine.  I used various Spellbinders die templates including Labels Four, Rose Creations, Carnation Creations, Jewel Fantasies and Scalloped Circles.

To adhere my card pieces I used the E-Z Runner®, this is so speedy and because the adhesive is applied in little strips it can be used on large or small items.  Also it goes around curves and circles, great for the flowers.

For my central tag I wanted to add dimension so I went straight to my 3D Foam Squares, I keep a supply of these permanently on my craft desk as they are so easy to use and I can be guaranteed of their permanence.  Crafty Power Tape is perfect for the final assembly of my card onto plain cream card stock.

I hope you like butterflies too!

Card Trio

Hello Everyone! Vicki here 🙂

I’ve  been working on some cards using Fancy Pants “Be you” line and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives, so today I thought I’d share some of the different ways I used my adhesives.

I’ll start with this first card, and show you how I used my  DODZ™ – Small to add embellishment to my card.

I added my DODZ™ – Small here, along the right side of my card.

Once I had them where I wanted them, I added black glitter over them. The black glitter adheres to them, giving me little glittery circles.

I knocked away any excess glitter, poke holes in the center of my glittery dots, and added brads.

I used Crafty Foam Tape to give my matted piece lift and dimension.

For this card…..

I added  Photo Corners – Polypropylene, Clear to accent the mat of my main image.

And, for my third card….

I added my extra stamped pieces to the main stamped piece by using  DODZ™ – 3D so they pop off the page a bit.

** I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips Dispenser for my general adhesive on these cards.

As we’ve said many times, ..there’s the perfect adhesive for every job when you are creating!….. but remember to think outside the box, because there are lots of ways to use your Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesives to add some extra fun to your projects also 🙂

Enjoy the process! 🙂

Springtime Boxes

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:

MyStik Permanent Dispenser

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™

Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® die cutting machine, Square Bracket Edge Box and Anemone Flower Topper

Puppy Love Scrapbook Page

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
  • The Paper Studio Cardstock and Chipboard Alphas
  • Sharpie Marker

Have a great day!

Chevrons with Photo Corners

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!

~Ashley

A Gift Bag Made from an Envelope

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:

  • Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:
  • Bo Bunny: Country Garden
  • Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® machine, Labels Twenty-Two, Daisy Flower Topper and Wonderful Wings
  • Scor-Pal scoring tool
  • Envelope
  • Mini Peg

Dogs Love Easter Too!

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.

Easter Bunny Dog by Beth PingryI 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!
