Repositionable Adhesive as a Mask

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Beth Pingry

Hi, it’s Beth! I can’t believe it’s June 1 already! Today I used Repositionable Adhesive as a mask. I used E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive and Glimmer Mist on the dress form to create the pattern!

To make the pattern I die cut the shape, then covered it with lines of E-Z Dots® Repositionable adhesive.

I sprayed 2 shades of Glimmer Mist, allowed it to dry, then rubbed the E-Z Dots® off with my finger to reveal the background color. I stamped an image, added bling, a flower and a wire hanger to finish it off.

The rest of the tag used burlap, a printed image, flowers, ribbon and more bling!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I used these supplies:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:
E-Z Dots®, Adhesive Sheets, 3D Foam Squares, DODZ™ Small
Spellbinders™: Grand Calibur® machine, Decorative Dress Forms die
Prima Marketing: Delightful Day Col Glimmer flowers, Say it in Crystals

Vintage Tag

Posted on May 19, 2012 by Christine Emberson

Hello again, Christine here and this time I thought I would share with you a vintage tag creation. I do find all things vintage and shabby chic very appealing so I truly enjoyed putting this tag together.

Firstly select a natural card luggage tag.

Next, some pretty paper to create your flowers. Adhere this to an Adhesive Sheet.

This will enable you to run the paper through a die cutting machine and it will have its own adhesive backing, perfect for creating the tiny Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.

It peels away very easily for you to roll the flowers into small blossoms.

Cover your tag with some decorative tissue tape or patterned paper and begin to decorate. I have also used a Foliage die template.

The chipboard embellishment is securely affixed to the tag by using Crafty Power Tape.

I’ve used 3D Foam Squares to attach a small stamped label.

Add two Kraft Photo Corners to the bottom edges of the tag, they make a lovely finishing touch.

Finished! Tie to a gift or dress up a bottle or jar, tags are so useful. Happy crafting!

Graduation Cap and Gown Card with a Flip!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Beth Pingry

It’s graduation season and I have a graduation card to flip for! I designed it to look like a cap and gown, with a pocket for a gift card or cash.

Cap and Gown Graduation Flip Card by Beth Pingry for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used MyStik™ Permanent Strips for the tassel, graduation cap, card base and inside layers.

3D Foam Squares make the pocket for the gift card. Note the body of the card is wide enough to hold a gift card + the width of the 3D Foam Squares.

The card is designed to look like a graduation gown, with a graduation cap that flips up to reveal a gift card. The card stands up on it’s own and will be perfect to display at a party!

I used the school colors inside, these are easy to switch to customize the card to the graduate.

Play Ball! Baseball Scrapbook Page

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Beth Pingry

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

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.

I used these supplies:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:

Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix
3D Foam Squares Black Small
E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips
Websters Pages – Game On Kit

Thanks for reading, and Play Ball!

Enjoy the Process Card

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

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,

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

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Christine Emberson

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!

Graduation Banner Card using Photo Corners

Posted on April 29, 2012 by AJ Otto

Hi there, AJ here to share a fun graduation card made from Creative Photo Corners.

Making the Graduation Banner Card

Place your die template of choice cutting side up on your base plate. Make sure to lay your folded card stock on top of the die, folded part of the card inside the cutting edge as shown. This will create your shaped card base.

This should be the what you have after cutting.

Die cut and emboss your card front from patterned paper and the same die. Die cut a piece of white cardstock with a slightly smaller die, set aside.

Place strips of Crafty Power Tape onto the card base and adhere the patterned paper. Stamp a sentiment on the lower portion of the white die cut paper.

Pick your ink colors for the banners, and ink the Creative Photo Corners right on the sheet.

Take one Creative Photo Corner and place it sticky side up on to your string. (You will be trimming down the large square side of it.)

After trimming the square down, fold the what’s left of the flap over the string. Since the Creative Photo Corners are self-adhesive, it will hold itself to the twine. Repeat as needed with alternating colors.

Now you have self adhering banners. Place them on your stamped layer, and secure the twine to with Crafty Power Tape on the backside of the cardstock.

Attach 3D Foam Squares to the back side and adhere to the card front.

3D Foam Squares
Crafty Power Tape
Creative Photo Corners White
Avocado Arts stampes
ClearSnap ColorBox Ink

Card Trio

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

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

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:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™

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

Cardstock
