Scrapbook Adhesives DT – Love To Scrap 2

Celebrate Tag

Hey everybody, how did it get to be Monday already?! I hope you had a good weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing Part 3 of my three-piece ensemble created for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth. You’ve seen the chocolate bar card and the set of party treat bags, so now I bring you my giant birthday tag. I have really enjoyed this special project and look forward to the next one!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, a large tag die from STAMPlorations, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

The tag base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White cardstock using a large STAMPlorations Stitched Nested Tag Die. CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry and Bright Gold Foil along with a colorful print in the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 6×9 Collection Pack were used for layers.

Embellishments include a journaling card and lots of die cuts from the same Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ for the horizontal heat embossed foam strips, a rosette with glitter detail, and several foiled circles. I used three colors of Keep It Simple gingham ribbon at the top, tied with a Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine bow.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see all the dimension. There’s so much fun on this tag! For more details, be sure to see my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog!

And one final shot showing all three pieces of my ensemble.

Hi friends – Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a set of party treat bags. You’ll remember me mentioning in my post a couple weeks ago that we were assigned a ‘special project’ (a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth) and this set of birthday party treat bags is Part 2. You’ve seen the chocolate bar, so now I bring you the treat bags… every birthday party needs a cute little bag to hold the treats and favors, right?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, the Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I have fallen in love with, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you really need to! These were so fun to make!

I used the super cute Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn. The bags feature CutCardStock Pop Tone Grape Jelly and Basis Light Lime cardstock, in addition to CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Lessebo Splash, Pop Tone Wild Cherry and more Pop Tone Grape Jelly for the rosettes. Used Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies and EK Success 3/4″ Circle Punch to make the rosettes.

Of course, as mentioned above, I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the circles in the center of the rosettes. Also used Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 12×12 Collection Pack and Die Cut Pieces. I typed the verbiage for the name tags on my laptop and printed them on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock prior to cutting them with the ticket die in the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies.

And here is the green one. For demonstration purposes, I only made two, but you could make as many of these as you’d like. They are THAT fun! Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made them!

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a chocolate bar card. You’ve seen this fun card several times previously on my blog because it’s one of my favorites! This is Part 1 of a ‘special project’ we were assigned – a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth. I thought this birthday card would be great to open with… I mean, after all, who doesn’t love a chocolate bar?! On their birthday or anytime, lol?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I absolutely love! Needless to say, I had a good time!

This is a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline size with the base and chocolate pieces cut from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock. I used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock for the inner wrapper layer and Keep It Simple Happy Birthday papers for the outer wrapper. Also used Keep It Simple die cuts from the same Happy Birthday collection. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner using green purple and blue Making Memories glitter in my stash.

I assembled the card with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, Adhesive Lines, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow. Embellished the panel with narrow strips of the dotted paper used on the front and another (sentiment) die cut. The final touch was adding a Love From Lizi green pinstripe peel-off for a little interest. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how I made this adorable card!

Hi friends, I hope your week is starting off on a nice note and you are enjoying some pretty weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing an easy floral birthday card. And when I say ‘easy’ – I mean that literally! I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique on this card using the 3D Foam Butterflies (you know I love me some butterflies), and of course I assembled it using some of the best adhesives in the land!

I cut the top-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock. I trimmed a Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and pressed the floral image and sentiment into it using my BetterPress. I colored the image with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and adhered it to the card base using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using the 3D Foam Butterflies with purple mica powder along with a very light dusting of white mica powder on the wings. I sealed the butterfly with a light coat of clear satin urethane spray to ensure the mica powder wouldn’t rub off. I then stuck it to a small piece of acetate which I trimmed. I adhered the butterfly with both thin and regular 3D foam squares for some dimension. The final touch on the front was adding gemstones to the butterfly body and a few scattered on the background.

Using the Spellbinders Happy Birthday Glimmer Plate, I pressed the sentiment into another Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel, once again using my BetterPress. I added the patterned paper embellishing strip to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. LOVE how this turned out – and it would be a good one to mass-produce in different colors to have extras in your stash!

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Father’s Day shirt card. Father’s Day will be here in a few weeks and I thought I’d break out my own shirt card design again this year. Don’t groan because I know I inundated you with shirt cards last year, in several different designs besides my own and for several different occasions! Bahahaha! But this one is a little different in that it showcases the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique known only to Scrapbook Adhesives! And, of course, I used a few of their amazing adhesives to put it together.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how it is made. That is, if you didn’t grab the instructions last year, lol! I used CutCardStock Sandcastle and Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock along with a masculine plaid print from the Craft Consortium Tartan 6×6 double-sided paper pad.

The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique came into play with the buttons. I pressed the bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors onto the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix (after removing the liner) to create the buttons. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp and die set.

I cut the inside panel from the Sandcastle cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green. I embellished the panel with some the plaid used to make the shirt and stamped another sentiment, this one from the Brutus Monroe Super Sentimental stamp set.

Geometric-inspired thank you card

Hey everybody – I hope your Friday is totally amazing! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a geometric-inspired thank you card featuring rounded jewels shapes and shiny bronze embellishments created with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. By now you know that I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique and use it on quite a few of my projects these days. It’s such a simple process that really adds a lot to a design. And I used a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to put this card together. Definitely could be used for a male or female thank you, don’t you think?

I cut the card base and front layering panel from Neenah Classic 100# Linen Solar White cardstock. I used CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange, Pitch Black, Brick Orange and Sunflower Yellow for the geometric shapes, all cut with two sizes of Hero Arts Rounded Jewels Infinity Dies. I popped the small ones up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors along with 3D Foam Circles White Mix. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Paper Crafts Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, and then adhered the panel to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape. I do love the dimension this gives.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and layered it on Lessebo Pitch Black and then Lessebo Sunset Orange. The E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere these layers. To carry the design to the inside, I adhered two die cuts with the Dual Tip Glue Pen and added a couple more bronze embellishments. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink, and this completed the card.

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed some nice Spring weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a pretty fun fold for Mother’s Day. For this anchored swing flap, I used patterned paper, washi tape, dies and stamps that haven’t seen the light of day in a while, and that made my heart happy. Of course, I used some pretty amazing adhesives and other complimentary products from Scrapbook Adhesives to put it together!

I’ve made quite a few swing flap fun folds over the past several years and this one is an anchored swing flap which is kind of a fun twist. I won’t go into huge detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made this one. This card features pretty embellishments made using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique – I used wrinkled gold and red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors which compliments the CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock.

I also used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock which compliments the gold foil in the Pinkfresh Studio Hydrangea & Rose Washi Tape cut with the coordinating die. Most of the construction was done with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips but also used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix along with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I used the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the sentiments which I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. The overhead photo on the below right shows the extra score line with the flap folded backwards to anchor the swing flap. Neat, huh?!

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute birthday candle card that would be great for the young and old alike. I’ve made a few of these in the past (inspiration for the faux quilt design from Splitcoast Stampers HERE) but I made this one a little different. I used an older paper pack in my stash as well as die cut pieces and stamps/dies from the Happy Birthday collection at Keep It Simple. And, of course, I used some of the most awesome adhesives ever made to put it together!

I won’t go into a bunch of detail here, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you’d like to see how I made it. I cut the candles from strips of blue, orange, red and green patterns in the Darice Dots and Stripes 6×6 paper pack that I had applied to Adhesive Sheet. I used a small Hero Arts Rounded Jewels infinity die for the flames which I colored with Copics and popped up on Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I used a 110# Solar White pre-folded card base from CutCardStock and popped the front panel up on Crafty Foam Tape. As mentioned above, the sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection which I cut with the coordinating die. I added a few Freckled Fawn enamel shapes to finish off the card front. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for the layer construction and the Dual Tip Glue Pen for adding the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a wide strip of the red paper used for a couple candles on the front, and layered it on CutCardStock Mantis Green. I added another stamped and die cut sentiment along with a cake die cut piece (from the same Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection) using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a beautiful week and your temps are increasing… just a little bit anyway! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a beautiful sympathy card. Let’s face it – the average crafter does not find this type of card easy to make. Many people believe that cardinals symbolize the presence of lost loved ones, especially when grieving. When I found this SVG cut file from SVG Cuts featuring a cardinal, I knew I had to make it into a sympathy card. And, of course, I used a few of the most awesome adhesives to put it together!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Cardinal Crate Box Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from a large variety of cardstock from CutCardStock (along with prints from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad) which I’ve listed below. I made several changes to this file. I believe it was intended to be a Winter-themed card, and since I was making a sympathy card I omitted the greenery with the berries and cut extra pieces for the remaining greenery. I also made the second and third inserts flat instead of shaped so the white cardstock wouldn’t show through the greenery.

I used two coordinating floral papers from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad for the flap on the front and the envelope. I ran the crate panels through the Big Shot in the Crafter’s Companion Wood Grain embossing folder. I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser for the assembly of the card base and inserts. I added a white twine bow and flower embellishment to the front flap, and affixed the flap with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Heartfelt Condolences stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on the sentiment panel and popped it up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I’ve included a shot of the flattened card on the envelope; it’s a big one! This would definitely need to be mailed in a padded envelope for protection if it was not going to be hand-delivered. I really love how this turned out and would hope the recipient finds it comforting!

I used some fun papers, stamps and dies in my stash for this delightful friendship card. I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner and the glittery lines across the base, and of course, used some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together!

I’ve made quite a few tented easel cards over the years but this is the first tall one I’ve made. I had to tweak the measurements a bit to make it taller so the banner would fit above the bird. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to learn how to make this taller version. I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Dual Tip Glue Pen for the assembly.

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Basis 12×12 Aqua cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Vivid Double-Sided 6×6 Paper Pad. The image and sentiments are from the Prickley Pear Stamps Hey Girl Hey stamps and dies, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored with a variety of markers.

I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique to create the banner using the 3D Foam Pennants and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, along with 3D Foam Micro Squares and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors for the tiny embellishments beside the letters on the pennants. I also used Adhesive Lines and diamond glitter in my stash for the lines across the base which are kind of hard to see in the photos but really add some pretty sparkle.

The inside sentiment panel was cut from Solar White cardstock and another sentiment from the Hey Girl Hey stamp set was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added an embellishing strip with the glittered lines to the top of the panel to match the base. I’ve included one final side shot so you can see the cool construction. I love how this turned out!
