Tie-Dye Scrapbook Background

Posted on August 1, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a fun tutorial that is perfect for creating colorful backgrounds for Summer papercrafts. Last Summer, I started the tradition of creating tie-dye t-shirts with my children, nieces, and nephews while vacationing together at our cottage. Everyone was looking forward to repeating the activity this year. The t-shirts turned out even better the second time around!

Tie-Dye Scrapbook Background by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I wanted to create a colorful background for my scrapbook layout documenting this event. A plastic grocery bag, an assortment of spray mist, and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2 in. are the only supplies required to create this amazing patterned paper.

How to Transfer Tie-Dye Prints to Cardstock

Cut a plastic grocery bag open so that it can lay flat in a single layer over the work surface. Pinch the plastic sheet in the center and twist to create a swirl design. Use Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2 in. to secure the plastic to the work surface.
Apply spray mist to the plastic. I chose a rainbow color palette, but any combination of colors would work for this technique.
Place a piece of cardstock over the misted plastic and press to transfer the color to the paper.
Carefully lift the cardstock to reveal the tie-dye print. Set aside to dry.

Glittered 3D Foam Pennant Embellishment

I created a rainbow banner embellishment to go with the rainbow tie-dye background. First, gather several colors of glitter and a package of 3D Foam Pennants. Next, peel off the top liner from one pennant and sprinkle with glitter. Repeat this process, one pennant at a time, until the desired amount of pennants are glittered.

To assemble the banner, first, staple a length of string to the cardstock. Peel off the backing liner of each pennant, align the top of the pennant with the top of the string and then press to secure to the page. I used the colorful pennants as part of my title and added letters to the center of each.

Layout Assembly

To ensure that my photo stands out from the busy background, I attached it to the layout using 3D Foam Squares. I also used 3D Foam Squares to secure a journaling card and peace sign die-cut to the page.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and will try making your own tie-dye background print. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just for You Linen Band Card

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Judy here with a card with a bit of fabric. I love to sew and work with fabrics! So I decided to add a band of linen to this card without any sewing! That makes it easy, right!? There’s some twine, too!

Just for You Linen Band Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Layers of the Linen Card

On a 3.5 x 6.5-inch cream card base, cover the front with patterned paper using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to fasten it in place.

Use direct ink to paper technique with Distress Iced Spruce ink to a piece of 0.75 x 6.5-inch tan paper. Dry with a heating tool and adhere along card edge with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

I also apply Distress Iced Spruce ink to another piece of tan paper large enough to cut circles later.

Place a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in along the edge of the Iced Spruce piece. Cut a piece of linen to 1.125 x 6.5 inches and fray the edges. Remove tape liner on the card and press linen in place. The Extreme Double-Sided Tape works well for fabric!

Cut a strip of tan cardstock to 0.375 x 6.5 inches and place a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in closer to one of the long edges. Remove the liner and place three strands of hemp cord close together to cover the tape. Then add a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in on the cardstock strip’s back and adhere over the linen.

Adding the Circle Sentiment

Stamp a circle pattern on paper previously inked with Iced Spruce, and die-cut the circle. Die-cut a smaller circle with a piece of cream cardstock. Stamp sentiment on tan cardstock and cut with a circle die. Then attach to the cream circle using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Add the layered circle to the green circle with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Secure the layered circle sentiment to the card front with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Avoid the hemp twine by adding the squares on both sides of the circle with the gap in the middle.

Tie a tiny bow of hemp and attach in place with Adhesive Dots Micro. Designer’s Tip: roll up the Adhesive Dots Micro a bit to fit something this small and so it doesn’t show around the bow.

May Scrapbook Layout

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Creating a monthly scrapbook layout has become a part of my routine this year. It allows me to tell the story of our month without having to scrapbook every last moment. One challenge with this is trying to make the layout look different each month. One way I can do that is with embellishing! Creating clusters of embellishments can be done a lot easier with 3D Foam Adhesives! Let’s take a look at how I made that happen!

May Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

While this layout is pretty simple, it has a lot happening in the clusters of butterflies, journaling, and flowers.

3D Foam Adhesives at Work

The 3D Foam Strips are perfect for things like butterflies. I just tucked them underneath the middle and that allows the wings to still look like they are taking off!

Adding dimension to the title was also made easy by combining both the 3D Foam Strips and 3D Foam Squares.

Both 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Circles work great for popping up little shapes like flowers and hearts. Combining those with the E-Z Runner Grand and keep some things flat, ensures an eye-pleasing look on your layout!

Tiny Skinny Card Tutorial

Posted on July 23, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, all! Back to school will be in session soon, and I’ve got a fun way to add a little cheer for your kids. Teri here and I’m going to show you how to make my version of skinny cards!

Tiny Skinny Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These tiny cards are perfect for leaving a quick note in your child’s lunch box or backpack to let them know you are thinking about them. Doing online schooling this year? Use these tiny cards to leave encouraging notes by their computers or tablets! Skinny cards are easy to make and can be put together quickly with a few basic papercraft supplies! Let’s get started.

Skinny Cards Basics

Begin by taking cutting several 2 1/8″ x 11″ pieces of cardstock. Score and fold them in half to make several skinny card bases.

Cover your cards with patterned paper strips. You can arrange them vertically or horizontally. This is a good opportunity to use up your stash of paper scraps! Adhere the strips with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Next, stamp sentiments on strips of cardstock. Give them dimension by lifting them up and adhering them to your cards with Crafty Foam Tape or 3D Foam Strips.

Embellishing the Card Front

Apply several 3D Foam Stars (or some other 3D Foam shape of your choosing) to your cards. Remove the release paper and apply flock or glitter to the stars. Want them to sparkle? Try using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets instead!

Complete your cards by adding some twine or sequins and securing them with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Design for a Different Look

It’s easy to change up the look of these skinny cards! Rather than decorating your skinny cards with paper strips that are approximately the same size, mix it up! Use big strips and small strips.

Consider decorating your cards with something rather than stars. 3D Foam Hearts are a nice alternative as hearts work with most card sentiments. Or die-cut your favorite shape with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Many options!

Another option is using paper die-cuts instead. Cut several of the same die cuts from cardstock. Stack them on top of each other and then adhere them to your skinny cards with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and are inspired to make some skinny cards of your own. Remember, there are no rules when it comes to making skinny cards. Decorate them however you want them to look!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

Make My Heart Smile Altered Serving Tray

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little altered project to share using paper crafting products, a little wooden tray, and some fabulous adhesives. See all the details on how I created my altered serving tray.

Make My Heart Smile Altered Serving Tray by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Altered Serving Tray Step Outs – Step 1:

Cover the pine wood mini tray with white acrylic paint using a foam brush and let it dry.

Cut a piece of plaid patterned paper to go all around the outside of the tray and adhere them to the sides with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. This tape is fantastic for adhering things onto tough to stick surfaces like wood.

Step 2:

Let’s make pretty layers in the altered serving tray with patterned papers. Cut two strips of the striped patterned paper that fit the long side of the inside bottom, and a large piece of the pink polka dot pattern to layer on top to cover the rest of the space. Adhere all the pieces using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

Mat the photo in white cardstock and adhere inside the tray using Crafty Foam Tape White for a little lift.

Cut a piece of the light pink patterned paper, slightly smaller than the tray, and tear the right-hand edge. Adhere to the left-hand side of the tray using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Step 3:

Let’s start adding embellishments to finish off the altered serving tray! First, tie a burlap string bow on the sentiment tag and secure it with an Adhesive Dots Small. Then adhere the tag using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size on the left side of the tray.

For a fun touch, I added the coffee cup embellishments to the corner of the matted photo using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Lastly, I added the embellishment to the upper right corner of the tray using Adhesive Dots Small, along with a few gems for some sparkle.

Done! This altered serving tray is perfect for a personalized gift or a great pick me up for someone who needs one!

Gifts from the Sea Art Journal Pages

Posted on July 19, 2020 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a couple of seasonal art journal pages called Gifts from the Sea. Created using acrylic paint and ephemera, I wanted to show how adhesives work well on a mixed media surface.

For example, I used Extreme Double-Side Tape 1/4-inch to secure the larger embellishments, and a combination of Adhesive Dots Medium and 3D Foam White Circles to secure the smaller stamped images. Let me show you how!

Gifts from the Sea Art Journal Pages by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Art Journal Pages Instruction

Use acrylic paints and inks to create the backgrounds. For more depth, stencils and collage materials were also added. On heavy cardstock, images were stamped and watercolored with ink. Then trimmed out.
Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen like a collage medium, adhere the ephemera pieces to the art journal pages. Spread the liquid glue on the back of the ephemera with the fingertips for better control. Next use pieces of a torn vintage dictionary text.
& 4. To secure the larger stamped images, use the Extreme Double-Side Tape 1/4-inch. This worked great against the painted background.

The Adhesive Dots Medium came in handy for the large bottles.

To lift the smaller bottles on the pages, I used the 3D Foam Circles White Mix to overlap the larger bottles.

See the finished pages below. I hope you enjoyed my Gifts from the Sea Art Journal Pages and inspires you to create a seasonal page!

You’re the Best Tissue Paper Card

Posted on July 17, 2020 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here and today I would like to show you how to make a gorgeous vintage background for your card using tissue paper. My secret ingredient for adhering is Dual Tip Glue Pen! Shall we make this card together?

You're the Best Tissue Paper Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tissue Paper Card Background Steps

I created this card using tissue paper to design your own patterned paper.

Start with a rectangular white card panel and distress it by using brown ink and an ink blending tool.

Tear some decorated tissue paper into pieces. Use the broad tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen to apply glue to the back of the tissue paper.

Adhere the pieces to the card panel. No need to perfectly adhere them, wrinkles in the tissue paper are okay!

Use the pointed tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen to place a small drop on your fingertip and rub over the loose ends of the tissue paper to adhere to the card panel.

Cut excess tissue paper sticking out with scissors. If the tissue paper is still moist, let dry. Tip: you can use a heat gun to speed up the drying.

Tissue Card Panel Details

To give more depth to the tissue paper card panel, use a stencil and texture paste. After applying texture paste over the stencil, add some sparkle with dry glitter while wet. Tap off any excess glitter for a sparkly effect!

Then dry thoroughly or use a heat gun to hurry the drying process.

The Card Base

Adhere the tissue card panel onto a black card panel using Crafty Foam Tape White. Then place it on a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Adding the Sentiment

Stamp a sentiment onto black cardstock using watermark ink. Sprinkle white embossing powder over it and melt with a heat gun. Next, trim to banner shape and adhere to the card panel using 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

And voila…You’re the Best Tissue Paper Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Wishing you happy crafting!

3D Foam Fries and Hot Dog Layout

Posted on July 15, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a scrapbook layout that I created to celebrate national hot dog month. If you’re from Detroit, the only way to eat a hot dog is a Detroit-style Coney, which is a beef dog with bean-less chili, mustard, and white onions. Don’t forget the side of French fries!

3D Foam Fries and Hot Dog Layout by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I had a lot of fun creating my own French fries to embellish this page using 3D Foam Strips and White Crafty Foam Tape.

How to Create French Fries with 3D Foam

To create my embellishment, I first cut and folded a small container from patterned paper to hold the French fries. I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8 Inch to hold the sides of the container together.

Next, I cut two pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White approximately 3 inches long. Press the adhesive into glittered yellow flocking powder, removed the adhesive liner from the back of the tape, and then secured the flocked French fries into the container.

Repeat this same technique with 3D Foam Strips until the container was full. I applied puffy stickers to the center of the fry container as a fun finishing touch.

Layered 3D Title with Adhesive Dots

I wanted to create a balanced design, so I added a 3D title to the page. A raw wood veneer die-cut was a fun choice. I secured this embellishment to my layout using Adhesive Dots Mini.

Next, I applied chipboard letter stickers to the bottom of the wood veneer die-cut. I reinforced these stickers with Adhesive Dots Mini to be sure that they stayed in place.

Thanks for stopping by today! I’d love to learn about the signature hot dog in your area. Do you also enjoy a side of fries or are your dogs served with something else?

Leave me a note in the comments section with your must-have toppings!

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!
