Grid Father’s Day Card

Posted on June 5, 2020 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Father’s day card idea. Use a grid design with game pieces for a unique masculine look! Then make your dad shine by adding glittery embossing powder using Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside concept! I’ll show you how in my tutorial.

Grid Father's Day Card By Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Positioning the Grid Design

Using some wooden scrabble game letters to spell out “Best Dad Ever” and use the blank ones to fill in the rest of the grid design. The blank ones are really unpopular letters (like Q) turned blank side up. LOL!

On a piece of the black cardstock card panel, draw a grid using a pencil and a ruler. Note the grid size is about ¼-inch larger than the size of the wooden letter tiles.

The Grid Card Base & Layer

After finishing the grid card panel, I created another layer to mat the grid. A soft blue cardstock was my choice which I adhered with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then you can then determine the size of the card base you are going to make. Use the same adhesive to attach the layered card panel to the white card base.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Concept

We will be using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in onto all of the grid lines. Start with the vertical lines first. Make sure to rub the tape for extra secure hold. Then remove the liners. Make sure your desk is clean so nothing will stick to the tape.

Now make the horizontal lines with the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in and repeat the same steps.

Now you have a sticky grid ready to glitter!

Cover the Iced Silver Embossing Glitter over the grid. Press in to secure and then tap off any excess. Repeat to cover any missed areas.

Melt the embossing powder with a heating tool. This technique is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Embellish the Tiles

Cover the blank titles with a thin layer of the Dual Tip Glue Pen with my finger. I used a drop to spread over the surface.

Sprinkle dark glitter embossing powder on top of the title and melt using a heating tool. Designer’s Tip: to protect my fingers from the heat, I used tweezers to hold the tile.

Adhere the Tiles

Add an Adhesive Dot Large Repositionable into each square of the grid. I love these dots because I can easily take the tile off if it’s crooked. It gives me peace of mind until I change my mind! LOL!

Remove the liners and adhere the tiles to the card panel. Finish off the card by adhering a red velvet heart onto a tile using an Adhesive Dot Large Repositionable.

And voila, your Grid Father’s Day Card is ready to make any dad smile!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Embossed Background Sea Shell Card

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a really fun and cool project to create an embossed background for a mixed media style card. Using the leftover sheet from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, WOW! Embossing Powder and stamps, I show how to make these wonderful cards.

Embossed Background Sea Shell Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embossed Background Steps

There were still some 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the sheets so I remove them by placing them on an empty liner sheet and set aside.
Remove the top liner of the leftover sheet and cover the entire surface with the WOW! embossing powder.
Shake off excess and emboss with a heat embossing tool.
Next, emboss three 3D Foam Circles in the regular size using the same embossing powder.

Embellishing Details

Stamp sea shell and leaf images with colored inks. Then emboss with WOW! Embossing Powder in clear. I also used their embossing pen to touch up my stamped images that did not stamp clean. Set aside. Let’s work on the card layers.

Using various Distress Oxide ink colors that would match the embossed background, I created a mixed media card panel. When I achieved my desired look, peel off the back liner of the embossing background, and adhere to the inked card panel.

5. Adhere the layered card panel to the Kraft card panel with the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.
6. Add the sea shells images and adhere to the card front with 3D Foam Circles White Mix.
7. The larger sea shells images were adhered using the Extreme Double -Sided 1/4″ Tape for a stronger hold. Randomly add the embossed 3D Foam Circles on the card front. Wrap Twine around the bottom.
8. Lastly, the layered card panel and sentiment were adhered to the folded card base using E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Designer’s Tip: use the leftover sheets as a dimensional adhesive. No one will know and no need to throw it away. Use every little bit – a no waste product! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this project. I sure enjoyed creating the cards!!

DIY Bouncy Glitter Ball

Posted on June 1, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a fun kids craft tutorial for DIY bouncy glitter balls. It’s only two weeks into summer vacation and I have heard the phrase ‘I’m bored’ more times than I care to count. This simple project uses two basic craft staples and one common household item.

DIY Bouncy Glitter Ball by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

In less than 15 minutes my kids had several bouncy balls that produced hours of fun! The WOW! Sparkles Premium Glitter that I mixed into the ball shown above catches the light is a fantastic way.

DIY Glitter Bouncy Ball Tutorial

Dissolve 1 tablespoon of Borax into 3/4 cup of warm water.

Squeeze 1 tablespoon of Dual Tip Glue Pen Clear Glue into a small container. Sprinkle a small amount of WOW! Sparkles Premium Glitter onto the glue. Stir to combine.

Pour the glitter glue mixture into the Borax solution. Press and squeeze the glitter glue together with your fingers until the mixture is no longer sticky.

Remove the glitter glob from the Borax solution and roll into a ball shape.

Bouncy Ball Storage

The bouncy balls will eventually dry out if left exposed to air. My kids were happy to zip their balls into a plastic bag. I wanted something a little cuter to hold my bouncy balls so I upcycled a small glass jar.

1. Apply embossing ink onto a stamp and press onto patterned paper (or cardstock). Sprinkle on WOW! Mermaid Tails Embossing Glitter. Tap off the excess powder and apply heat to set.

2. Use a 6×12 Inch Adhesive Sheet to create a sticker. Punch a circle from the adhesive sheet. Remove the yellow backing paper and align the paper onto the adhesive. Remove the back liner and adhere to the project.

These bouncy balls will flatten over time. Warm the ball in your hand and roll to reshape to continue the fun. Thanks for stopping by today!

Mixed Media Canvas for Dad

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here today. I’m thinking ahead to Father’s Day with a mixed media canvas for Dad. I’ve been watching many craft and art videos during this stay at home time. Sure enjoying those!

One of those videos gave me a spark of inspiration for the color scheme for this canvas. This is one time that I picked out a collection of supplies including dies, papers, and canvas with embossing powder. Then began to create! Very happy with how it turned out!

Mixed Media Canvas for Dad

Start with a 4 x 6-inch canvas, I was lucky to find the canvas at a dollar store. The size is perfect for this project!

Cover the canvas with patterned paper (you can see visible at the top right corner) and a map collage paper layered over it. Use another piece of pattern paper that fits across the bottom for the floor. Adhere the papers with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Stamp on the corners and across the floor. Ink the edges to hide the white canvas.

The Fireplace Feature

Kraft and black papers were used to make the fireplace pieces. Apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the back of all pieces for the small die cuts which makes for easy assembly.

The Kraft pieces were inked with Distress inks. The fireplace was attached with Crafty Foam Tape White to pop it up. The star strip was added to finish the fireplace.

Mixed Media Dad

Dad is a photo paper figure with a touch of color from markers. The figure was secured with two layers of 3D Foam Squares Black Mix behind the head. In the middle (over the fireplace) and the feet, a combination of 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix were used to allow for the extra thickness of the fireplace and the rug.

Working on the Title

Letters for “DAD” were die-cut from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small in Black and a piece of black cardstock. Set the letters aside to work on another layer that will be added.

Next, I applied Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the back of a piece of black cardstock and adhere to another piece of black cardstock. Then apply another Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch on the back before die-cutting the letters DAD again.

Layer all the matching letters together by placing the layered cardstock piece on top of the foamed letter. The layers accomplish a couple of things: keeps the foam from stretching as the font is narrow, and to add more depth.

Heat emboss the letters with two layers of embossing powder. Then lightly rub black ink over the surface.

Now, I attached the letters to the canvas with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Use the same adhesive to hold the star in place. “Love you” strips are secured with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Other Details

Stamp the words (except “ME”) with Tiny Text and heat embossed. “ME” are die-cut letters from black cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. Ink all with Distress inks and popped up with 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

At the bottom of the canvas, a tiny “rug” cut from a piece of natural canvas with fringes. Color the material with Distress inks.

This was certainly a fun project for me to put together! I hope you enjoyed it! And perhaps found some inspiration for your own project!

Monthly Recap Scrapbook Layout

Posted on May 27, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Have you ever created a Monthly Recap Scrapbook Layout? I started doing it this year with the help of the Best Year Ever Collection from Simple Stories. It’s a great way to use up pictures that may not make it to their own layout, but are still a part of life that you want to remember. Some months I have tons of pictures and others I have less. Being home all month in April and making lots of memories, made for a lot of April pictures. With lots of pictures and journaling to add, I need just the right adhesives to make this project work. Let’s take a look at what I used for my April layout.

Monthly Recap Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Monthly Recap Scrapbook Layout Adhesives

As we discuss regularly here, having the right adhesives for the job makes a project go so much smoother. For my Monthly Recap Scrapbook Layout, I used the E-Z Runner Grand, 3D Foam Squares, and Adhesive Sheets.

Whenever I fussy cut something, as I did with April, it’s nice to have Adhesive Sheets. With all the curves and skinny lines, I don’t want to go back after doing all the cutting and have to try and get adhesive in all the right spots. Adhesive Sheets provide just enough coverage and hold fabulously.

I can’t imagine doing a scrapbook page without my 3D Foam Adhesives. Today the 3D Foam Squares are helping give height to my butterflies and clouds.

Everywhere else the E-Z Runner Grand was the workhorse. It was just thin enough to work for my journaling strips and yellow strips!

Rainbow Cards Tutorial

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Want to make someone smile? Teri here, and I’ll show you how to put together a couple of quick rainbow cards to pop in the mail and make the ones you love smile! Let’s get started!

Rainbow Cards Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Rainbow with Pop and Dimension

Start by die-cutting a rainbow and some clouds from white cardstock. Don’t have a rainbow die? You can make rainbow bands by using nested circle dies together.

Take your rainbow bands and apply color to them with markers. Flip your rainbow over and add a few strips of tape to them to hold them together.

Make your rainbow pop by adding some small strips of Crafty Foam Tape to it.

Stencil a pattern onto a piece of cardstock (or use it plain), and adhere your rainbow to it. Add your clouds and a stamped sentiment.

Give your rainbow an extra happy feel by adding some 3D Foam Hearts to it, as well as around it. Coat the hearts with flock or glitter!

Rainbow Card with Less Pop

Worried about sending a card through the mail with a lot of bulk? You can easily make a rainbow card without any Crafty Foam Tape or 3D Foam Hearts.

Change your design by adhering everything to your card with a “flat” adhesive, like Dots or Strips. Also, look for ways to add to the overall design. Stamped birds or butterflies in the background are a great way to do that!

You can also add sequins to your clouds with Adhesive Dots. Sequins are a great embellishment for cards because they are mostly flat and don’t add much bulk to cards!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make rainbow cards of your own!

Happy creating!

Rule the World Shaker Card with Coffee Lovers

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Margie Higuchi

Margie shows you how she creates an easy and fun shaker card with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. Follow along and learn a few ideas. Let’s Rule the World with this shaker card!

Rule the World Shaker Card by Margie Higuchi

Hi, coffee-loving friends! Margie here today sharing a coffee-themed shaker card with texture and an unexpected element too. Using the Keepsake Envelopes, I share how to make an easy and fast way to create a shaker feature. Let me show you how, along with other ideas!

Shaker Card Basics and Texture

I cut three layers for this green A2-sized (4.25 x 5.5-inch) card base. The yellow patterned paper was cut at 4 x 5.25-inches, the Kraft paper was cut at 3.75 x 5.00-inches and the flower patterned paper was cut at 2 x 4-inches to slid inside the Keepsake Envelope (on the right side of image).

To make texture on the Kraft cardstock panel, I used a coffee-themed embossing folder and rolled it through the die-cutting machine. LOVE how it turned out!! Designer’s Note: lightly water mist the Kraft panel before embossing for a crisp embossed design.

Making a Window

Die-cut a coffee cup window shape in the embossed Kraft panel. Set aside.

Since I had my die-cutting machine out, I die-cut the lid and the sleeve out of ivory cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment on the sleeve with brown ink. Set aside.

Shaking It Up a Bit

Slip the 2 x 4-inch flower patterned paper into the rectangle Keepsake Envelope. Add sequins and shaped glitter in front of the paper. Take the small liner in front off, fold the flap over on top to seal. Keep the back liner on – you will need it to add to the Kraft window panel.

Apply E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong adhesive on the edges of the Kraft window panel. Using the back liner of the Keepsake Envelope as a handle, place the envelope over the window and use the liner to press the envelope into the adhesive to secure.

Adding a Twist

To add some fun, I had an unused coffee cup stopper that I grabbed from my coffee shop. I used a combination of Adhesive Dots 3D for the top (because it had a stopper and was thick) and Adhesive Dots Small for the bottom tip. I tuck the bottom into the window and then secured the top.

Then I added 3D Foam Strip on the top edge of my window to lift the coffee lid over the coffee stopper. I stacked two strips. Repeat for the sleeve.

Assembly the Card

Take off the bottom liner of the Keepsake Envelope and apply E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong adhesive on the Kraft window panel. Adhere to the yellow patterned card panel.

Lift the layered panel with Crafty Foam Tape White and secure onto the green card base. You’re done!

I hope that my Rule the World Shaker Card inspired you to try this easy method for a shaker element.

Keep reading for the Coffee Lover’s giveaway details!

Make a Wish Birthday Card

Posted on May 21, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends and welcome back! Tracy here, and today I am sharing this sweet and simple Dimensional Card to brighten up someone special’s day. Let’s bring back the love of Snail Mail during this time that we cannot be together, get crafting and send some cards.

Make a Wish Birthday Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Wish Layers

Firstly I started by cutting, and die cutting my dimensional card layers. This collection from Simple Stories is just the cutest, and prefectly sweet to create birthday cards with. I then gathered the die cuts that I wanted to feature on the dimensional card. The finished card base is a 4×6 front, 6×8 in white cardstock and folded in half.

Second step is to adhere the yellow pattern to the white cardstock die cut piece, and adhere the lavender cardstock to the plaid patterned paper using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Dimensional Layers

To create a dimensional card I start by using Crafty Foam Tape White between the larger layers. You can also adhere these layers to the card base using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishments can be added to the card front using a mixture of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. Using the 2 thicknesses of foam squares gives even more dimension to this dimensional card.

Finally I added a few enamel dots to the card for s little sparkle and shine.

Make a Wish and celebrate everything good in these times.

I hope you enjoyed the Make a Wish birthday card! Thanks so much for stopping by!
