Traveler’s Notebook Gift Bag

Hello, Shellye here with an anytime gift, would be perfect for an upcoming occasion like Mother’s Day or graduation. It’s a Traveler’s Notebook Gift Bag! The handmade notebook is tucked into a unique woven bag!

Traveler’s Notebook Gift Bag Instructions

To begin, I started with the gift bag. The base of the bag is an empty sweetener box. I embellished it with a variety of patterned papers and secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. It’s really easy to change the adhesive out.

See the quick How to Use and Refill E-Z Runner® Grand Dispensers video below.

Now that you have your adhesive set up, take the sweetener box apart to flatten. My box measures 5.5″ x 3″ x 7″. Just a side note, cut the patterned papers slightly larger than the box before attaching to all sides of the box.

For the bag front, I created texture and interest with a paper weave background. I select three patterns of paper and cut them into 3/4″ strips. On a flat surface, weave the papers together and apply E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill to the ends. After I determined the size of the woven mat (to fit one side of the bag), I used the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1-inch to affix.

For the other sides of the bag, I used a corresponding patterned paper to cover using E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill.

Gift Bag Details

For the handles, I folded a 12″ x 1.5″ strip of paper in half so the width is 3/4″ and held the fold with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. The handle strips were attached to the inside of the bag’s opening with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in.

For around the top edge of the bag, I added pom trim with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

To the front, I lifted up a circle shape with a sentiment using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then accented with layers of hand-cut flowers and leaves, a bird sticker, burlap banner, and hand-tied buttons. To finish the bag, I tied a pretty polka dot ribbon bow and secured another hand-tied button in its center.

Traveler’s Notebook Step Outs

For the Traveler’s Notebook cover, I started with a piece of 8.5 x 11″ patterned paper and corner-rounded the edges. Then score at 5″ and 6″ on the long side.

Next, paced the paper inside one of the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards X-Large and burnish the adhesive side with a bone folder. Retrace the score lines and carefully fold into the notebook shape.

Punch two holes on the top and bottom of the spine (as shown above) and then threaded with round cording. A hole was also added at the center of the spine for the closure cording.

To create the two inserts, I used 9.5″ x 7″ white cardstock and fold in half to make the cover. To embellish, cover the white cardstock with patterned paper using Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch.

Inside each cover, include three sheets of folded white paper. The completed notebooks were held in place by the cording loops.

More Traveler’s Notebook Details

The patterned papers I used resembled washi tape strips so I made my own! Simply use a leftover strip of the Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch and applied it to the back of the paper. Next, I cut the paper strip in half and packaged in a cellophane baggie.

Clothespins were also embellished in the strips of paper and packaged, in addition to the journal cards and frames! Lots of goodies to use with the new Traveler’s Notebook!

Add everything in to complete the Traveler’s Notebook Gift Bag set. Now it’s ready to give!

Thanks for joining me!

Dry Erase Shopping Lists for Planners

Hi, everyone! Looking for a way to remember what you need to get at the grocery store? Teri here to show you how to make these dry erase shopping lists to keep in your planner. Then take out and tuck in your purse when you are ready to go shopping!

These lists are easy to make with a few basic paper crafting supplies and Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards! Let’s get started.

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Dry Erase Shopping Lists

First, pick a self-laminating pouch – card for your list. I’m making a 4×6 list so I’m using a Self-Laminating Pouch – Card Medium. Cut a piece of cardstock to fit in the pouch and then cover it with patterned paper. I recommend using a light-colored paper since you are going to end up writing over it.

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, decorate the panel with strips of patterned paper.

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add a few die-cuts. I used flowers and sea creatures. You may want to use something else. It’s all about what appeals to your design senses!

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp a few words on panel, like “My List” or “Stuff to Get.” Make your stamping really pop by using pencils or markers to add a little color to the letters.

Seal the Lists

Now, it’s time to laminate the panel. Open up the card. Set your panel on it and then slowly set the sticky part of the pouch on top. Use your fingers to really rub out any air bubbles as you go.

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once you’ve laminated your list, use a paperclip to anchor it in your panel.

Dry-Erase Shopping Lists for Planners by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use dry-erase markers to write on your list. You can also use wet-erase markers on them!

Making a Smaller List

Craving a smaller list for your planner? That’s easy. Just use a Self-Laminating Pouch – Card Small and create a smaller design!

You can also mix things up. Rather than using stamps to put words on the list, use letter stickers instead. Also, consider using stickers, as well as die-cuts, to decorate the list with!

All Occasion Lace Square Card Tutorial

Greetings, friends, Margie here with an intricate All Occasion Lace Square Card made with one thin metal die set! By lifting up the layers with 3D Foam Strips, it makes the card go from beautiful to stunning!

All Occasion Lace Square Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

All Occasion Lace Square Card Base

Die-cut black and white cardstock with my one thin metal die set. By using two contrasting cardstock colors, I create a simple and elegant look. For this card, I used two white squares, one black intricate cut card panel, one black circle shape and its coordinating intricate circle design in white.

All Occasion Lace Square Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The two square shapes will be the card base. Score 1/2-inch on the top of the solid square. This scored area will become the hinge on top of the card.

All Occasion Lace Square Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, I took out the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refill cartridge and replaced it with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill. This is such an easy step to replace. OR use our newly released E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser (I do not have one…yet.).

Visit the quick How to Use and Refill the E-Z Runner Grand Dispensers video below.

Now that you have your E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refill set up, apply it on the decorative edge square about 1/2-inch on the top. I use this adhesive on die cuts because it only covers the cut areas. If there is any residue, simply rub it off! Once applied, put the two squares together to make one square card base.

Card Front Layers

For the black intricate cut card panel, I placed 3D Foam Strips to the narrow areas. It lifts the layers to create dimension and interest to the card design.

All Occasion Lace Square Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Designer Tip: Color your 3D Foam Strips to match your card panel color. I colored mine with a black marker and the excess white foam disappeared!

Lastly, I added self-adhesive cream pearls to the card front and done!

Intricate 80th Birthday Card Tutorial

Hello, card making friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little tutorial on how to create this Intricate 80th Birthday Card. Every once in a while an occasion demands a beautiful and intricate birthday greeting. Here are all of the details.

Intricate 80th Birthday Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

First I cut my card base from pink cardstock to 10 x 7-inch. Then fold in half to create a 5 x 7-inch card base. I die-cut all my layers from white cardstock using one die set. Adhere the outside frame piece to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape White.

Next, I added the lacy insert die cut piece to the card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

To make the number 80 stand out, I used gold foam number stickers.

Rose Accents

I created these pretty Wild Roses using rose stamps, dies and shaping molds. Prills were added to the middle of each flower with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Place the completed flowers to the card using Adhesive Dots Large.

Pillow Box Easter Treats

Hi, Connie here with a really fun Pillow Box Easter Treats, using Kraft pillow boxes. Decorating the boxes is always so easy especially when you have the right adhesives. Let me show you how!

Pillow Box Easter Treats by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Supplies for the Pillow Box Easter Treats

Pillow Box Easter Treats by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For your supplies, you will need to gather patterned papers, trim, stamped images or bunny stickers, pillow boxes and paper flowers. I used a combination of Adhesive Dots 3D, 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, Dual Tip Glue Pen Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ and 1/8″ to assemble.

Pillow Box Step Outs

Pillow Box Easter Treats by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  1. Apply a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ to the backside of the patterned paper.
  2. Wrap around the center of the pillow box.
  3. Attach trim using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″. Wrap around the box and lay trim over the adhesive strip.
  4. Add the bunny image using a couple of 3D Foam Squares Regular Black.
  5. Attach a flower with an Adhesive Dots 3D.
  6. The sentiment is placed with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Designer Note: Use up scrap papers and small pieces of trim to decorate the fronts of the pillow boxes.

Box Filler Ideas

Wouldn’t these Pillow Box Easter Treats look great in an Easter basket? Or it would be super cute to hide them right alongside the plastic colored eggs. They would be perfect for the non-candy people by adding cash or a gift card inside the box.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! Today I am sharing how to make a Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card. With a little help of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, it’s easy to create these sparkly accents to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Spring (and Easter) is around the corner so why not use a cute bunny as a focal piece on my card. Let me show you how I made my card.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Accents

Start by die-cutting a lattice rectangular shape from green cardstock. On the edges, I will make the glitter jewel accents.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside by adhering 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the edges of the lattice rectangular shape. I used the small circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Remove the top liners from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Adhere small rhinestones on top of each circle. Make sure that the rhinestones are smaller in diameter.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, sprinkle green fine glitter over the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and then tap and brush off the excess glitter. I loved how this part of my Jeweled Birthday Wishes Accent Card turned out!

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Layers

Print a digi-stamp and matching sentiment out onto white cardstock. Use markers to color the image. Then die-cut it into a rectangle size that fits the green jeweled card panel. Lift and attach the white cardstock panel with Crafty Foam Tape White to the green jeweled card panel.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Secure the layered card panel onto a dark green card panel with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle dimension.

Finally, adhere the stacked card panel onto a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Jeweled Birthday Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing Touches

Make a pink satin bow and adhere to the card base using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. This tape is a great way to prevent any glue shining through the ribbon! And voila…your bunny card with glitter jewels is ready.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wishing happy jeweled crafting day!

Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a Spring home décor tutorial. One of my favorite flowers is the cherry blossom. I know it is Spring when I see floral branches full of these beautiful blooms. I created my own floral branches to decorate a frame using brown paper bags and Adhesive Sheets.

Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cherry Blossom Branches from Paper Bags

Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • Cut a paper bag to lay flat. Crumble the bag and then smooth out onto work surface.
  • Cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets 12×12 Inch to cover the paper bag.
  • Remove the yellow backing paper. Place the adhesive sheet onto the bag and press.
  • Remove the white backing paper. Starting from one corner, roll the paper bag up into a thin roll. Crunch and press the bag while rolling to create texture.
Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply 3D Foam Strips to the paper branches. Press the branches onto the frame, bending and connecting several branches into a realistic design.

Embellishing the Frame for Spring

Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Note: For a more distressed look, like the one on this finished frame, rub away some of the foiled adhesive dots immediately after foiling.

  • Apply Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. to the back of each wood letter. Press onto the frame over the paper branches.
  • Stack layers of fabric cherry blossom petals, holding them together with Adhesive Dots Small. Apply a Small Adhesive Dot onto the center of each flower and cover with yellow glitter.
  • Stick the glittered cherry blossoms to the paper branches using Adhesive Dots Small.
Cherry Blossom Frame Tutorial by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To finish, attach several bright green leaves to the frame.

I’m really enjoying the way this beautiful décor piece freshens up my space. I used cherry blossoms for this project, but any flower would look fantastic on an altered frame.

DIY Travel Journal

Hello! It’s Judy here today. I’ve put together a DIY Travel Journal to take on a trip this month. Can you believe I made the covers with Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium? I’m super pleased with how nice they look!

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

DIY Travel Journal Step Outs

Each cover consists of a Self-Laminating Card, patterned paper and heavy card stock. Attach the two together using Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. I stamped the script design randomly on outside of covers and added a title to the front cover.

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The inside covers are stamped with the script design. Once the ink dries, placed each of the covers into Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium and firmly sealed the edges. Inside the cover, I added a brown card stock page that shows through the clear edge of the Self-Laminating Card. This also serves to hide page edges if the alignment is off a little when binding it.

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The back cover looks very much like the front without the title.

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Inside Pages

Cut the inside pages to 4 x 6 inches from heavier text paper and mixed media paper. Three sections divide the book using Kraft card stock and the mixed media paper in the center section. The reason I like to create these books is that I can choose the papers! To bind the pages together, use a binding machine and attach them together with O-wire rings.

Creating the Dividers

Three sizes of Keepsake Envelopes Mix were added to the dividers. These will be perfect for tickets or other memorabilia collected on a trip. For now, I’ve tucked in some die cut labels that I can add to my journal pages as I make entries. Apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch on the back of the paper and die-cut the label shapes for stickers. Simply remove adhesive backing and stick them in place.

Tip: Use leftover letters to make more labels by putting them on strips of card stock that have Adhesive Sheets applied to the back. Letters are adhesive-backed so its easy to do! The ocean label was done that way.

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Other Details

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the back of the patterned paper with cameras on it and cut them out for stickers. Add a pocket on a divider and add the camera stickers in. Then when you used the stickers up, you can use the pocket can hold memorabilia.

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

More keepsakes can be tucked into another divider with two small pockets!

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A pocket at the back of the journal has Creative Photo Corners Kraft tucked inside. Use them to place a photo or keepsake to a page. When the pocket is empty, it can hold a keepsake!

DIY Travel Journal by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I’m looking forward to filling this journal with notes, sketches and stories from my trip.

Thanks for Visiting!
