**As a part of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team, I receive products for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use :) **

Hey everyone! So excited that fall is here and that Lawn Fawn had Happy Harvest stamp set that fits the occasion. Isn’t the scarecrow cute…and the crows too! LOL! There is a coordinating die set, Happy Harvest Lawn Cuts. AND it isn’t complete without some fabulous fall themed patterned papers, I used both Perfectly Plaid Fall Petite Paper Pack and Lets Polka in the Meadow Petite Paper Pack {{BIG GRIN}}
Happy Harvest Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L w Lawn Fawn Blog Hop SEPT 2016
To assemble the layers of card panels on the white card base, I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser (green cardstock and later, white cardstock) and 3D Foam Squares- White, Regular (patterned paper). I stamped the scarecrow and cornstalk onto a white cardstock panel. Colored the scarecrow die cut and applied it (and crow die cuts) with 3D Foam Squares- White, Regular for dimension. Lastly, I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini to add sequins to the card.

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: How to Create a So Thankful Pillow Box with 3D Foam Creative Sheets

**As a part of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Design Team, I receive products for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use :) **

One of my favorite products is the 3D Foam Creative Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®! They cover my entire medium to small sized die cuts with dimension. See my sweet fall pillow box with a handmade wreath from Lawn Fawn? SO CUTE!!


I stamped my pile of leaves images in different patterned papers from the Perfectly Plaid Fall Petite Paper Pack. Then trimmed them down to a small size (don't want to waste the 3D Foam Creative Sheets :) ).


Move the liner back and place the stamped image on top. Replace the liner on top and rub to apply adhesive. Trim to your image size with scissors. Die cut the piece and VOILA!


Repeat with the single leaf image to create dimension, using scraps.


To make my leaves wreath, I cut up parts of the pile of leaves images...


Next I hand cut a ring with scissors - to use a guide for my wreath. It can be ugly - LOL!!


I pre-determined the placement before adhering them down. This part is FUN - just pile it on!



I stamped my sentiment on a piece of patterned paper, trimmed to make a double ribbon tail banner and adhered with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser on top of the wreath.



Now place the wreath on the flattened box. For the finishing touch, add sequins on the wreath with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini. Tip: Flip the box over and rub baby powder on the exposed adhesive of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to prevent it from sticking to anything.


Assemble your box and add your favorite treat! Me? Hmm....maybe not candy corn (lol!) but a coffee gift card would be PERFECT! HA!



As always, thank you for stopping by!!

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Using Adhesives Sheets on Intricate Die Cuts for my Autumn Hello Card

Today I am sharing my autumn themed card and how Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6" saved me time and frustration on placing my intricate die cuts. Let me show you how!


Recently I have been addicted to mono printing using a gel plate and ink pads (paint are the usual medium but I had to be different! LOL!) to make my own patterned papers. Here's what I did...
  1. Mist the gel plate with water and then pounced Orange Blossom Ink, Potting Soil Ink and Fern Green Ink in desired areas.
  2. Then lightly mist with water over the inked area to give it texture (think water droplets).
  3. Wait a few moments and then place a piece of white cardstock over the plate.
  4. Gently rub across the back of the cardstock evenly for good coverage.
  5. Then pull the paper away and enjoy the results!


I am showing one of the patterns that will be used below...


For the die cuts, I first trimmed my paper to size and applied the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6" on the back. I took off the thin border liner and used it as my guide to place my paper. Then took off the liner little by little and rubbed it to cover the back the patterned paper. Perfect coverage!


Next I die cut my intricate die designs and "hello" word (repeat the same process with green cardstock in a small size).


Trim the green cardstock and other patterned paper to created a matted card panel to fit an A7-sized card base. I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser as my patterned paper was warped. I love that it adheres down flat :)



Figure out the placement of the die cuts and then take off the liner to adhere...I started with "Hello" and worked on the edge.


I used Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere my cute acorn die cuts and used E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to center the embellished card panel onto my card base.


Isn't it adorable?! Loved how it turned out and without fighting with the adhesive = EASY!!


Got intricate dies?! Use Adhesive Sheets - they have different sizes. NO STICKY MESS on dies and CUTS LIKE BUTAH! LOL!
