Hello Friend Mini Book

Posted on July 13, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Judy here to share a fun gnome Hello Friend Mini Book. It’s a perfect little book to give a special friend! I also put together an envelope to make this into an adorable ensemble!

Hello Friend Mini Book by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hello Friend Mini Step Outs

For a little “head of time” prep work, I stamped with black ink and applied Adhesives Sheets on the back before die-cutting all these cute little gnomes. Once cut, I colored each with waterbased markers. There are nine of these little cuties!

Basic Book Binding Steps

The basic book is made with a combination of mat board, white cardstock, and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in.

The front and back covers are mat boards cut to 3.625-inch square.

Each page measures 3.5 inches square and made with white cardstock. There are five pages in total.

The binding is made from white cardstock cut 1 1/8 x 3.5-inches. Score each binding lengthwise in half and folded. There are six binding pieces for this book.

With the pieces prepped, let’s start with the binding! Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in to one outer side of each of the folded binding pieces. Attach all the binding pieces together with folded edges even to create the spine of the book.

Next, adhere the pages and both covers to the binding, using the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. The pages are fastened to the flaps of the binding. There you have it, a basic mini book!

Hello Friend Mini Pages

To make page designs, it’s easier to assemble before putting them in the book. Apply Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch on the back of the patterned papers used for pages, covers, and decorative elements (ie. borders).

There are 10 pages all measuring 3.5-inch square each. They are the inside pages attached back to back like a sandwich around the white cardstock pages already in the book. Create background page designs and set aside.

You need two inside cover pages. Cut them to 3.625-inch squares and design as desired. Set aside.

To attach your first inside page to the white cardstock page, remove the liner and place it on the first page. Add your second page to the back – remove the liner and make sure to cover the flap. Repeat for the rest of the inside pages.

Then adhere the outside covers and lastly, cover the inside front and back cover pages making sure they hide the hinge feature.

Page by Page Details

For the inside front cover and page one: Stamp “Hello gnomie” and cut black cardstock for the mat. Use the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to fasten those together and in place. Remove the liner from the gnome before adhering.

Pages 2 and 3: Stamp all verses and mat with black cardstock. Adhere all with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

Pages 4 and 5: Stamp the toadstools design and random dots with black ink on the pages. Every page has a few dots…some are not so obvious. Add the elements with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser and the gnome by removing the liner.

Pages 6 and 7: Attached all the elements on the page with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Pages 8 and 9: Trace two hearts onto the dot paper and sand the edges to give a white edge. Adhere all with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Page 10 and inside back cover: left blank to add a personal note or for a photo or two.

The Envelope Element

Using printer paper, I created a 4.5-inch square envelope and assembled it with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in.

First, apply Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch to the back of the coordinating patterned papers. Cut to fit the flap and its opposite side. Take the backing off and place on to the envelope.

The flap tucks under a plaid strip with a heart. Secure the plaid strip on each end with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in and using the same tape, attach the heart on top to finish.

Just a side note: I learned this style of binding from a class given by Mixed Media Artist, Seth Apter. To fit my style, I adapted to make it work for this Hello Friend Mini Book! It pays to apply what you learn from others 🙂 I hope you enjoyed it!

Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card

Posted on July 11, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends and welcome back! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and interactive little Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card tutorial to share with you. In these crazy days of less contact, I think we should be sending more cards to brighten up the days of the ones we love. What better fun to share than a bright and cheery shaker card. Here are all of the details.

Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started on this Shaker Card:

I started with the Creative Embellishments hot air ballon shaker kit, which includes all of the pre-cut pieces you need. I painted the top and base pieces of chipboard. Then I also painted the sides of the remaining chipboard pieces.

Next step, is to adhere the base, and middle chipboard pieces together using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Also adhere the top chipboard piece to the acetate layer, again using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

When created a shaker card, it is so important that your layers are completely dry before adding any of your shaker contents. So…while that sits and dries, create your simple card base.

Cue drying music.

The card base is white cardstock and then I cut layers of Bloom Street patterned paper. Adhere the patterns to the base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, as well as the top layer with Creative Photo Corners White. The reason I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser paired with the Creative Photo Corners White is that a shaker card can be a little weighty. I wanted the look of the Creative Photo Corners White, but needed the stability of the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

The shaker is completely dry. Now I added the fabulous fun of this sequins mix from Spiegelmom Scraps.

Complete the shaker card balloon by adding the top piece using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Again, let this dry completely before adding it to your card front.

Adhere the shaker card piece to the card front using Adhesive Dots Medium. Next, add the die cut sentiment using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then adhere the other cardstock sticker pieces.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card!

Celebrate Today Scrapbook Layout

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Have you ever looked at a scrapbook collection and thought, although cute, the embellishments just aren’t quite what you need? That is exactly what happened to me today with my Celebrate Today scrapbook layout!

Christine joining you with a layout that showcases my teens and grandma and how I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to make embellishments that better suited my needs.

Celebrate Today Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The embellishments that came with this collection were in a light and silly kawaii style. While I wanted that overall theme for the layout, I knew a bunch of the embellishments was just not going to work with my teenagers! So I decided to create some of my own embellishments using the 3D Foam Hearts.

Make Your Own Embellishments

Our 3D Foam products are incredibly easy to add foil to, making them perfect for personalizing your layout. We also have a variety of shapes available so you don’t even have to do any cutting.

To add foil to the products all you do is to peel off the top layer to reveal the top sticky side. Then place the foil on top of it, rub to transfer the color, and pull the foil up. Magically it adheres!

With hearts already worked into this collection – I knew that the 3D Foam Hearts were the perfect addition. Although I covered them with foil, you can cover them with so many other things as well: glitter, embossing powder, paper; there are so many possibilities!

As showcased in this picture the hearts also come in a variety of sizes!

Although I’ve highlighted the 3D Foam Hearts, I used a couple of other adhesives on today’s layout! Many elements on it, including the banner and kawaii heart seen here, were popped up with 3D Foam Squares. I also made use of the E-Z Runner Grand throughout the layout.

Summertime Watermelon Shaped Card Tutorial

Posted on July 7, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Let’s celebrate the summer with these sweet watermelon shaped cards. If you’re staying home, making these cards will help spread a little cheer to loved ones. Teri here to show you how so let’s get started.

Summertime Watermelon Shaped Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These cards are easy to make and are sure to make your family and friends smile!

Creating the Watermelon Shaped Card

Start by folding a piece of cardstock in half. Take a large circle die and temporarily anchor to the panel. Run it through your die-cutting machine and you’ll have a watermelon base.

Keep the leftover piece of paper and die in tacked, we’ll be using this as a guide for the next step. Set it on top of a piece of green cardstock. Temporarily anchor the die and run the stack through a die-cutting machine. You’ll end up with a partial green circle for your watermelon skin.

For the rind (the white part of the watermelon), repeat the last step but with white cardstock to give you a partial white circle.

Use your scissors to trim the partial green circle to make the watermelon skin. Don’t worry if your cutting is wonky and not perfect, it’s supposed to be! That’s what makes these watermelon cards charming and unique.

Adhere the green “skin” to your partial white circle with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Use your scissors again to cut the white circle to create your “rind.”

Affix your layers to your pink watermelon base with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing the Watermelons

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock with black ink. Add it to the card with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

To mimic the look of seeds, I used the small hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts on two cards and the raindrops from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes on the third.

To Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside, I peel the top liner off and cover them with flock or glitter…you could even use foil! Make sure to press into the adhesive to secure before tapping off the excess.

Complete your card by adding some twine to the top of it! Use an Adhesive Dot to keep the twine in place.

Design Suggestions for Watermelon Shaped Cards

The cool thing about this card design is you can change it up by using different colors of cardstock for the melon. Pink, red and dark pink are all options!

You can also mix it up by using different foam shapes to make the seeds. There’s really no wrong (or right) way to do it!

And don’t forget that these cards will stand up! The weight of the sentiment strip and “seeds” might make it lean one way or another. Don’t worry about that as it adds to the charm of these cards!

I hope you enjoyed today’s Watermelon Shaped Card tutorial and are inspired to make some “one-in-a-melon” watermelon cards of your own!

Happy crafting,
Teri Anderson

DIY Confetti Background Birthday Card

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a celebratory twist to making a confetti background in a birthday card! By taking a look at the shapes of the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, I came up with this fun design!

With a bit of glitter and foil, it’s SO easy and no special tools. You bring adhesives outside from layers and to make embellishments to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. I’ll show you how.

DIY Confetti Background

Pick up an adhesive square shape with a pair of tweezers from the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser. Then randomly place onto a white card panel.

Place about five of the adhesive square shapes from the E-Z Squares in a cluster. Sprinkle pink glitter on one adhesive square, rub the glitter with fingertips to secure, and tap off excess.

Repeat this step on the other squares using different color glitter. I used pink, white, purple, green, blue, and yellow glitter.

Then continue creating more square and glitter clusters until you get your desired look.

Adding More Confetti Design

Again use tweezers to pick up the tiny strips of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and then adhere onto the glittered card panel.

Tip: use tweezers with a pointy tip for easier picking up of the tiny tape strips. Adhere the strips all over the card panel.

Then cut a small piece of silver foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors and rub the foil with your finger (with the bright side facing up) over the stripes for an extra glittery and festive touch.

Then use a yellow mister to spray some yellow accents to the card front for extra color.

This also gives an extra accent to the glitter and holographic elements you just added.

The Card Base

First, adhere the glittered white card panel onto a slightly larger lilac card panel and then onto a white card base using Crafty Foam Tape White. Using Crafty Foam Tape White gives an extra dimension to your Happy Birthday card.

Finishing the card.

Cut out a stamped Happy Birthday sentiment and adhere to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Next cut out a butterfly from patterned paper and fold the butterfly slightly. With a pair of tweezers pick up a tiny strip of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and place on the back of the body of the butterfly. Then cut a square from 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size in half and adhere to the back of the wings.

Remove the liner and the butterfly to the card front. The 3D Foam Squares make the wings pop up!

And voila…your Happy Birthday card is ready to be sent! I hope you enjoyed this DIY Confetti Background tutorial.

Wishing you happy crafting,

Re-Purposed to Art Hangers

Posted on July 3, 2020 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a unique re-purposing project to create Art Hangers! I have the perfect adhesives that are up to the challenge of making them.

For the artwork has to be secured and have dimensional elements, I used a combination of the Crafty Power Tape and the 3D Circle White Mix. What a great way to display artwork mixed media-inspired Art Hanger!

Re-Purposed to Art Hangers by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Inspiration Behind the Art Hangers

The inspiration came from the Mixed Media Canvas by Judy Hayes. I loved how she created with the paper dolls giving the canvas a vintage look. My idea was to take vintage pant hangers and re-purpose them to hold ART creations. It could be for family photos, created ART, or just about anything you would like to display in a unique way.

A close-up of the ART Canvas.

Designer’s Note: The hangers are from resale shops. I paid about a dollar each. The other option is to use new hangers at retail stores and online stores too.

Gather the Supplies

Supplies needed are the hangers and vintage photos. The photos can be found at resale and antique shops, and are pretty reasonable. You know it is all about the hunt, right?

The ART Hanger Process

Cut the photo 1-inch by the length of the hanger. The hanger I used is 9-inch long.
Next, I adhered the photo strip to the front of the hanger using Crafty Power Tape.
Use a combination of the Crafty Power Tape and 3D Circle White Mix to adhere the paper doll embellishments to the hanger.
Distress the photo strip and the paper doll embellishments with black ink.

Creative Photo Corners Trees

The trees were added to the front of the ART hanger with Crafty Power Tape and the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Each ART hanger was created using the steps listed above. Just change or add the paper doll embellishments and use the Creative Photo Corners Black in different ways.

Now go junkin’! Thanks for stopping by!

Kids Craft: Backyard Scavenger Hunt

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a fun kids craft tutorial. This DIY Backyard Scavenger Hunt created with Self-Laminating Cards is a great way for kids to learn about the world around us and get active outside!

Kids Craft: Backyard Scavenger Hunt by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Self-Laminating Cards are cold laminating, which means this project does not require an expensive machine! Plus, these cards are clear and durable. The glossy finish works perfectly with dry erase markers, making these game boards erasable and reusable!

How to Create Scavenger Hunt Game Boards

Use a word processing program to create a letter-size (8.5 x 11 inch) scavenger hunt game board. Add a title and a stock image to the top of the page. Insert a small table on the bottom half of the page. Print several copies of the game board.

Cut images from an educational workbook or magazine. Use the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of each image. Press one image into each square of the table on the bottom half of the scavenger hunt game board.

How to Use Self-Laminating Cards

Align a scavenger hunt game board inside an XL Self-Laminating Card. Remove the liner and press across the surface to seal. Look at this quick How to Use Self-Laminating Cards video below.

How to Play

To play the game, use a dry erase marker to cross off images seen while exploring the yard. When all items are found, simply wipe away the dry erase ink with a tissue to clean the board.

Thanks for stopping by today! I created my scavenger hunt game board for little explorers, but this design can be easily adapted to include clues for children of all ages.

Thankful Card with Stencil and Heat Emboss

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here today with a Thankful for You Card made with embossing powder. This time I applied embossing powder through a stencil onto paper covered with Adhesive Sheets. It’s a pretty cool technique!

Thankful Card with Stencil and Heat Emboss Tutorial by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thankful Card Heat Embossing Steps

To make the embossed piece with gold and turquoise, apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to black cardstock that is cut to the size of the stencil. With a bone folder, burnish the Adhesive Sheet to bond to the cardstock. Then remove the liner and place the stencil on the adhesive. Replace the liner sheet back over the stencil and press the stencil to secure.

Next, apply gold embossing powder over the stencil and tap off the excess. Designer’s Tip: use a brush to gently remove embossing powder off the stencil.

Carefully pull the stencil away from cardstock. Slowly pull the stencil without pulling the adhesive off the paper. Then sprinkle turquoise embossing powder over the remaining exposed adhesive and tap off excess.

The above photo shows the embossing powders before heat embossing. I touched up with more adhesive and turquoise embossing powder to fix the bare corner. Now to melt the powders with a heating tool.

Creating Layers

Cut the embossed piece to 3 x 5.375-inches and secure it to black cardstock using MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

For the gold border, I applied Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in left edge of black cardstock with the embossed piece. Remove the liner, cover with gold embossing powder and heat emboss it. Trim the edges as seen in the card. Then adhere it to the front of a white card base with MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Lastly, stamp the Thankful card sentiment on black cardstock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Die-cut the sentiment with an oval shape. Place the oval on the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. I also trimmed the oval even with the card edge for a finished look.

Just another way to use stencils and I really like how it turned out! I hope this Thankful Card inspired you to try this technique.

A note about the choice of stencils…it’s best to choose one that doesn’t have intricate pieces that aren’t joined on all edges. They may be harder to remove from adhesive.

18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout

Posted on June 27, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Foam stickers and titles are all the rage right now. I used one on my 18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout. One of my tried and true techniques lately has been creating my own titles using adhesives.

Today I decided to try my hand at making my own foam sticker title. Let’s take a look at how the 3D Foam Creative Sheets make it easy to design your own title!

18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Title for Love Scrapbook Layout

3D Foam Creative Sheets make it super easy to customize your title!

First up I peeled the top layer off the 3D Foam Creative Sheet revealing a sticky side. I then put my patterned paper onto that. I did cut out just what I needed so I didn’t waste any of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

Next, I ran the piece through my cutting machine using a metal die. Once it was cut out I could peel off the backside and I had a fabulous dimensional title to apply for my 18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout.

Additional Layout Adhesives

This layout contains a ton of fussy cutting! To adhere that I used a bunch of 3D Foam Adhesives including 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Strips. The flat parts are secured with my E-Z Runner Grand!

My delicate butterflies needed something strong but subtle to secure them. I used one Adhesive Dot Mini to attach these. This allowed them to have dimension but no adhesive showing!

Whenever I combine multiple layers of cardstock that is the same color, I always add dimensional adhesive in between to make it separate. For this layout, because I had big spaces to cover, I used Crafty Foam Tape.

Check out all the details on how this layout came together using a variety of adhesives in this process video.

Fun Frog Card Tutorial

Posted on June 23, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Looking for a way to add pop to your next stamped card? Teri here, and I’ll show you a fun way to make frogs (or any other critter stamps) look like they are going to jump off your cards.

Fun Frog Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

It’s easy to pull off this look with just a few basic crafting supplies! Let’s get started!

Make a Frog Pop on the Card

First, stamp, color and die-cut one frog. Once you’ve got your stamped image, you’ll want to die-cut four more frog shapes from white cardstock. No need to stamp or color.

Then stack and adhere all the frog die-cuts one on top of each other with the stamped and colored frog on top. We just created one tall frog!

Sentiment Placement

Once you’ve got your frog, stamp the letters around him so he looks like he is part of a word.

To make frog pop even more, add a few 3D Foam Squares underneath him before affixing him to your background paper.

Color the letters in and add a few more stamped words to complete the sentiment.

Finishing off the Frog Card

Randomly add a few 3D Foam Stars and remove the top liner. Cover the stars with flock or glitter. Make sure to press the medium into the stars to secure before tapping off the excess. Want your card to have a little sparkle? Add a few sequins to your card as well!

Mat your background paper and adhere it to an A2 card.

Toadally Awesome Frog Card

Here’s another card where I made the frog pop! This time, I stamped, die-cut and colored in the log. Then I die-cut a base for the log from a 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

I stamped, die-cut and colored in the frog and then added four bases die-cut from cardstock under him. Then I mounted him to the log and die-cut a mat for the frog from a 3D Creative Sheet. I cut it up, using just part of the mat his head so his head would not flop around on the card!

While I used frogs to create these cards, you don’t have to when you make your own cards! These tips from my Fun Frog Card Tutorial will work with any critter stamps and dies. Imagine all the possibilities!

I sure would love to see your cards with critters that “pop” off them! Share a link in the comments so I can leave you some love!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson
