DIY Dimensional Home Decor

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I thought I would share an easy DIY Dimensional Home Decor piece I created with leftover bits of a papercraft collection. Here are all of the details.

DIY Dimensional Home Decor by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Have you ever worked with a paper crafting collection and while scrapbooking or cardmaking thought “that phrase or image would make a great home decor piece”? Well, that is exactly what I thought about the phrase I used for this project. I wanted to create a simple little piece that I could frame and have in my craft room.

Let’s Get Started!

The first step to creating this Dimensional Home Decor piece was to pick out the frame I wanted to use. The opening for this is 5 x 7-inch, and the frame is about 8 x 10-inch. I cut a piece of chipboard as a base that was 8 x 10-inch to fit in the frame. Using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser I adhered a 6×8 piece of patterned paper to the chipboard base. I like to use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser in most of my home decor pieces, that way I know they will stay together and last.

Mat the Dimensional Home Decor sentiment in white cardstock and add Creative Photo Corners White to the corners. I just love how this always frames focal pieces and adds a little bit of texture and dimension.

Add the sentiment to the chipboard base using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. I also picked out a couple of cardstock stickers to coordinate. First I used cornstarch to de-stick the backs. Then added them to the Dimensional Home Decor piece using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Snowflake JOY Holiday Card

Posted on July 29, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! I’m thinking of the holidays in July with this JOY Holiday card featuring the 3D Foam Snowflakes. I cut letters J and Y from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White and covered them all with heat embossed iridescent ice embossing powder. A simple card design to bring Joy this holiday season!

Snowflake JOY Holiday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp the Background

Cut a piece of mint green cardstock to 3.625 x 4.875-inches.

Ink a snowflake stamp with Distress Oxide Weathered Wood ink, stamp once on scrap paper, and then stamp on the background. Repeat with small and large snowflakes to fill the background.

Apply Ink to Mat

Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inches and to 1.875 x 3.75-inches

Apply Distress Oxide Weathered Wood ink along the edges of each piece. Set aside a small piece

Assemble Card Base

Cut a 5.5 x 8.5-inch cream cardstock and fold to make a 4.25 x 5.5-inch card.

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the inked mat piece and fasten it to the card. Repeat to adhere the snowflake background over the mat on the card.

Cut Letters

Cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White large enough for J and Y letter dies. Secure letters to it with removable tape and run through die cutting machine to cut letters.

Emboss Snowflake and Letters

Remove the largest snowflake from 3D Foam Snowflakes and place it on the non-stick craft mat.

Peel liner from the back of each letter and place next to the snowflake on the craft mat. (Designer Tip: I only used the letter and peeled away the shadow part of each letter)

Peel off top liners from letters and the snowflake, cover with iridescent ice embossing powder, remove excess, and heat with a heat tool to emboss.

Make JOY Band

Cut a piece of mint green paper to 1.75 x 3.75 inches.

Secure it to the small piece with the inked edges using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Peel the snowflake from the craft mat, place them in the center of the band and place the letters J and Y on either side. Use a ruler to help align letters evenly spaced from the bottom edge.

Attach the JOY Band

Place large Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the band, peel liners and attach the band to the card front.

Stamp the Verse

Stamp verse with Distress Oxide Weathered Wood ink on cream cardstock, cover with clear embossing powder, remove excess, and heat emboss with a heat tool. Trim paper around verse to narrow strip.

Cut 3D Foam Strips to fit verse, peel liner, and place on the back of verse. Peel liner from the back and fasten the verse to the card front.

Easy Glitter Embellishments

Posted on July 26, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I have an all-occasion card with easy glitter embellishments to create. The possibilities are unlimited with the 3D Foam Butterflies or any other 3D Foam Creative Shape for unique accents on your cards.

Easy Glitter Embellishments by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Made Easy Glitter Embellishments

You can use the 3D Foam Butterflies or any other 3D Creative Foam Shape to decorate your creations. But also, you can use your own designs using your die cuts or punches with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Crafty Foam Tape.

The process is so easy. Just peel out the top layer of your adhesive shape and covered it with Fine Glitter. Rub the glitter with your finger and remove the excess glitter.

With this easy fun technique, you can cover many 3D Foam Shapes at the same time or use different colors to make your projects more interesting. In this sample, I used two different sizes of shapes.

Card Details:

On this card, I printed a digital stamp and sentiment onto white smooth card stock and die cut the right side border with the Classic Swirls Edge Die. Additionally, I cut a light blue piece of card stock a little bigger from the top layer, to use it as a mat. On this piece, I also die-cut the same decorative border.

To paste the mat and the decorative layer, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Keep in mind, that you can also use the 3D Foam Squares to create your own glitter embellishments.

Now it’s time to assemble the card. First, paste the decorative layer with the Double-Sided Tape Runner Strips.

Then, remove the glitter embellishment from the 3D Foam Butterflies sheet and added it to the decorated card. I made three butterflies, with the same shape and different size to embellish my card.

Thanks for visiting!

Foil Stripes Tutorial

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like cards and scrapbook pages with a little glitz? Teri here with a fun way to add a hint of it by creating background papers with foil stripes!

Foil Stripes Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making backgrounds like the one on this card are a piece of cake with metallic transfer foil and Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft!

Making the Foil Stripes

Start by cutting a piece of cardstock to fit. Randomly add strips of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft across it. To make sure the tape is firmly on your paper panel, rub your hand over it. An air hockey paddle works well for this too!

Remove the release paper from a couple of pieces of tape at a time. Apply foil to the tape strips. I used the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to color my elements.

Be sure to rub the foil (color side UP) onto the tape until it completely burnishes onto it. Repeat this process until you’ve covered the panel with all the foil stripes you want! You can make all your stripes the same color or you can mix it up by using a couple of different colors of foil.

Adhere your striped panel to a card. Add several 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Circles White Mix to it. Add foil to them.

Finish with a Sentiment

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Flip it over and apply E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser all the way across it. The more adhesive you use, the better! Add some twine or thread to the back of the sentiment strip.

Flip the sentiment strip over and add it to your card. Want your sentiment strip to really pop? Consider applying it to the card with 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Complete the card by adding a few sequins to it with Adhesive Dots Micro!

I hope you are inspired by this foil stripes tutorial to give this technique a try!

Happy creating!

Ranch Life a Scrapbook Page

Posted on July 19, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a fun Ranch Life scrapbook page that includes big horns. You know, deer antlers and a little boy. They go together well. I used The Great Outdoors Paper Collection by PhotoPlay as inspiration for my design. The E-Z Runner® Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser came in handy to create a border for the layout.

Ranch Life a Scrapbook Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To start, you’ll need to do a few cuts. The camping gear pattern paper is 11″ x 11 1/2″. The cream cardstock is 9″ x 9″ and the pine trees are 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Decide on the border paper you want and set it aside. The embellishments are from the collection but you can always add your own.

Creating Ranch Life

1. Adhere all the layers of pattern paper and cardstock using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
2. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser to secure the border (created out of the pattern paper in the collection) to the bottom of the scrapbook page. If it needed to be adjusted which it did.
3. The squares are actually a pattern paper in the collection. I cut some different ones and used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere them over the pattern.
4. The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere the 1/4″ sticker strip. Tip: Doing this will keep the sticker from curling up as it ages in your scrapbook or prevents it from fall off.

The squares are popped up and then stickers are added.

1. Adding words to the border using the 3D Foam Strips.
2. Place stickers around the tag using 3D Foam Squares White Mix for dimension.

To create the title, adhere the letters, Ranch Life, with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The journal strips were popped up with 3D Foam Strips but every other strip piece was secured with the Dual Tip Glue Pen for interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you enjoy this Ranch Life scrapbook page. It was fun to watch this boy find those horns.

Steampunk Gear Card

Posted on July 17, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Steampunk Gear card. Gears and steampunk style go hand-in-hand so well! The gold elements on the card panel were added using a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. The dimension is so easily created using 3D Foam products. Shall we make this card together? Let’s get started.

Steampunk Gear Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Steampunk Card Top Panel

Trim a piece of wood patterned cardstock to a rectangular size. Use small pieces of Adhesive Sheets 4×6-inch (I used leftover pieces from past projects), peel off the yellow liner, and dab the adhesive onto the patterned paper randomly.

Next, wrinkle up some Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors, unfold and start dabbing over the spots you made with the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. This creates a worn and distressed look of gold.

This is what we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. It is to bring your adhesive from between layers of material/papers and bring them out to shine like embellishments. Make more use of your adhesive products!

Steampunk Gear Elements

Die-cut the steampunk gears from chipboard. Paint them black and let dry. Rub copper and dark grey gilding wax to color the gears. Adhere the steampunk gears onto the card panel with 3D Foam Strips.

By stacking the gears, you create a lovely dimensional design.

Mat the top card panel with the steampunk gears onto a kraft card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere to a black card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing the Card

Adhere sentiment stickers onto kraft cardstock and cut out banners. Adhere the banners onto the card using 3D Foam Strips and voilá your steampunk card is ready.

Wishing you happy crafting!

Sparkly Gift Tag and Holder

Posted on July 15, 2022 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with you today on how to custom create a sparkly gift tag and holder. I had so much fun creating one that I made two! You can place them on a gift bag, attached to a gift, or placed on the front of a card.

Sparkly Gift Tag and Holder by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

If you’re like me, this is a great way to use up some of the beautiful decorative paper that you’ve been hoarding.

Sparkly Tag Holder

The tag holder was die-cut from a piece of decorative paper. To assemble, I used the Extreme Double-sided tape 1/8″ to seal the seams.

Embellish the Front of the Holder

I fussy cut a sun from one of the paper packs and adhered with the Extreme Double-sided tape 1/8″ to a black cardstock circle shape.

For You was die-cut from gold glitter paper, layered onto black cardstock, and popped up on the tag holder using 3D Foam Circles Black Mix.

A small butterfly was cut out from the paper pack and popped up on the right corner of the For You again using the 3D Foam Circles. These foam circles are perfect to pop up curvy shapes!

Add them on a die-cut tag with the Extreme Double-sided tape 1/8″. Thread a piece of black ribbon to the top of the tag and tied with gold cord.

Create a Second Sparkly Tag & Holder Set

Create the tag holder in the same step as above but with a little different twist in embellishing.

Place two strips of Extreme Double-sided Tape 1/8″ and one of Extreme Double-sided Tape 1/4″ diagonally at the bottom right of the holder. Then remove the liners and sprinkle Gold Micro Glitter over the tapes. Rub in to secure the glitter and shake off excess.

All Occasion Mixed Media Card

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Here’s an all-occasion card with an easy-to-do mixed media background. Make multiple backgrounds ahead to have ready to add an appropriate verse when an occasion arises. A quick and easy way to add a bit of interest to the background is to randomly place Thin 3D Foam Squares on it, cover it with clear embossing powder and heat emboss.

All Occasion Mixed Media Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Mixed Media Background

Cut a piece of white cardstock about 8.5 inches square. This will make 2 background pieces.

Apply adhesive dots with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser in a grid pattern over part of the paper.

Spray Distress Oxide Sprays Villainous Potion and Saltwater Taffy over the paper, then mist with water. Allow to dry or dry with a heat gun and repeat until the desired color is achieved.

Once dry, rub repositionable adhesive dots off the paper.

Sponge on Distress Uncharted Mariner in various random spots, mist with water and rub to spread the color. Repeat as desired.

Assemble Card Base

Form card from 8.5 x 8.5-inch piece of white cardstock folded to 4.25 x 8.5 inches. Trim inked mixed media paper to 3.75 x 8 inches. Cut black cardstock 3.875 x 8.25 inches.

Fasten background piece to black cardstock using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser at corners and E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser along edges. The Ultra adhesive will hold corners securely which is especially good if the paper has curled from wet media. Use same adhesives to fasten the matted mixed media piece to the front of the card.

Stamp Verse

Stamp verse with black ink on white cardstock, cover with clear embossing powder and heat emboss. Trim around the verse. (Designer Tip – Stamp multiple verses to have on hand and apply to the card as needed.) Cut narrow black mat for verse.

Apply adhesive to the back of the verse with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten it to the black mat.

Add Thin 3D Foam Squares

Lay the verse in place on the card front as desired but don’t fasten. Randomly place small Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix across card above and below verse. Set verse aside

Peel liners from Thin 3D Foam Squares, cover with clear embossing powder and heat emboss with heat gun.

Fasten Verse

Place a small Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the verse, peel liners, and fasten the verse to card front.

Foiled Heart Birthday Card

Posted on July 11, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing an easy-to-create Foiled Heart Birthday Card. Learn how easy it is to add some foiled pizazz to any creation. Here are all of the details.

Foiled Heart Birthday Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

The first step is to cut your cardstock layers and gather and fussy cut the patterned and sentiment pieces. I wanted my Foiled Birthday Card to be bright, bold, and happy. Cut the white cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inch, the yellow cardstock to 4 x 5.25-inch, and the white cardstock base is a classic A2 size (4.25 x 5.5-inch).

Next step is to simply adhere the cardstock layers to the white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

I chose to place my little fussy cut rainbow and the Happy Birthday sentiment first on the Foiled Birthday Card. This will give me a guide as to where I want to place my hearts. Use 3D Foam Squares White Small Size to give a little bit of dimension to the card.

Randomly add the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser one by one to the card front framing the rainbow and sentiment. Sorry, it’s a little hard to see in my photo.

Choose the color of foil that speaks to you, I chose red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Add it to the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser by facing the color side UP and over the heart shape adhesive.
