Working with adhesives is a technical yet vital part of scrapbooking. You need to ensure that each piece you add to your layouts is of archival quality so your hard work and memories can last for years to come. When remembering our loved ones, we want to use the best quality products that will survive the test of time. In this layout, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L demonstrates how to use their EZ Runner for vellum, the permanent EZ Runner, and clear mounting squares to create a pleasant memory of a loved one.
“Echoes of our Past” is another example of using several different adhesives in one layout. The 3L adhesive products used here are: Self Adhesive Paper Photo Corners, Photo Tape, Adhesive Transfer Sheet, Foam Squares, EZ Squares, and EZ Runner.
Attaching non-adhesive backed metal embellishments can be a delicate task - something possibly just short of a surgical procedure! Tombow presents a solution with their new MONO Metal Liquid Glue. With this adhesive, you can safely and easily attach photos, cardstock, metal and plastic embellishments to your scrapbook and paper crafting projects. The dual tip applicator includes a pen style tip for precision and a brush tip for larger areas. This photo safe adhesive dries clear, is non-toxic, washable, and ideal for albums and keepsakes.
If you’re like me, there are times when you need an extra strong adhesive for your projects. The new Tombow MONO Adhesive Power Bond is extra strong and firmly attaches heavy weight paper, textured cardstock, and photos. The compact applicator applies a film of adhesive precisely where you need it. Its permanent and instant bond dries smooth and wrinkle-free. Although not refillable, it is photo-safe and works well for your memory books and projects.
Adhesives have so many uses it can be difficult to choose one appropriate for your project. Take the time to read about each adhesive to see which fits your needs the best. Remember to stick to it and check back here often to get the latest updates on the world of adhesives. Together, we can get that paper and those embellishments to stay put.
