Owl I Need Is You Card

Posted on March 5, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a new card. With spring coming up and the birds starting to sing again in mind, I made this happy themed Owl I Need Is You Card. The card was really fun to create and I would love to share how I made it.

Owl I Need Is You Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Panel and Card Base

Ink blend a circular background with green ink and an inking blending tool on a white cardstock panel. Once I got my desired look, mat the panel onto a green cardstock panel and then on a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Make the Focal Point and Sentiment

First stamp an owl image and a sentiment on white cardstock. After coloring the image with color pencils, I fussy the image. Center the owl, leaving a little space for the sentiment, on the inked background of the card front using 3D Foam Squares Micro White.

For the sentiment, cut a strip around it and mat it on a slightly larger green cardstock strip using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Pop up the sentiment below the owl on the front of the Owl I Need I You Card with 3D Foam Strips.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Hearts

For a finishing touch, I adhered 3D Foam Hearts onto the card. Remove the top liner and sprinkle green glitter on the hearts and rub the glitter to secure. Tap off the excess glitter. This Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique makes your adhesive shine!

And…..voilá….your Owl I Need Is You Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Cherry on Top Cut File Layout

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hi friends! 🍒 It’s Ali here, and I’m so excited to share a super sweet Cherry on Top Cut File Layout I created for the design team using a fun cut file and my favorite crafty foam tape! The title, “You Are the Cherry on Top,” was absolutely perfect for this photo of me sitting on top of a giant cherry at the Museum of Ice Cream when we visited a couple of years ago. I mean… could there be a more fitting title? 🍒

Cherry on Top Cut File Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cherry on Top Background

For the background, I pulled out an older collection from Doodlebug Design — because you know I love mixing in those classic goodies! I used some of the patterned papers for my base and cut the cut file from crisp white cardstock to make everything pop. With the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, I backed the main words with that adorable cherry paper from the collection and added in some Petite Prints for the words “on” and “top” to bring in a little extra texture and contrast.

Cherry Shaker Feature

Now let’s talk about my favorite part… the cherries! I really wanted them to stand out, so I decided to turn them into shakers. First, I backed each cherry with acetate. Then I used 3D Foam Strips to outline the back edges to create space for the shaker bits. After filling them with a fun sequin mix, I sealed them up with another piece of acetate — and ta-da! The cutest little cherry shakers ever! 🍒✨

The other adorable cherry embellishment was added on the upper left corner of my photo for the perfect accent!

To give the rest of the cut file dimension, I added Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. and 3D Foam Strips to the back so it would lift beautifully off that bright red background paper. You all know I can’t resist dimension!

The Finishing Touches

Embellish the letters with adorable buttons and added a cherry Doodle Pop sticker using 3D Foam Squares White Mix to make those cherries pop right off the page and tie everything together.

I absolutely love the sweetness of this layout and how easily it all came together. It’s bright, happy, dimensional, and full of personality — just the way I like it! Have fun crafting, and I’ll see you again real soon! 🍒💕

Hugs, Ali Skifton (aka FunAdventuresWithAli)

Love Story Layout

Posted on March 1, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hi friends! Kristin here to share a special 12×12 scrapbook layout titled “Love Story.” This page features a photo of my husband and me in a loving embrace. It’s one of those photos that instantly brings back all the feelings from that moment. When I create meaningful layouts like this, I focus on three things: layering, dimension, and durability. That’s why I reached for my favorite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Love Story Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Build the Love Story Foundation

First, I chose papers and embellishments from the Simple Stories Heartstrings collection. The soft pinks and romantic florals were perfect for this theme. I layered patterned papers behind my photo using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. It glides smoothly, holds securely and keeps the paper flat without wrinkling. As a result, my base layers feel clean and polished.

Adding Dimension with Foam Adhesive

After building my base, I added depth. For dimension, I used a combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips to pop up the embellishments, hearts, and a few accents around the photo. This simple step makes a huge difference. The raised elements create soft shadows and natural movement across the page. Most importantly, the dimension draws your eye directly to the photo.

Mixing Old and New Supplies

To add the year on the page, I used Making Memories Pink Glitter Paperie Rouge Alpha Stickers from 2008 on the upper right-hand corner. Yes — 2008! I love pulling older treasures from my stash and pairing them with newer collections. However, older stickers sometimes need reinforcement. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I added adhesive to the backs of the numbers before placing them down. Now they are secure and ready to last for years.

Final Thoughts

This layout makes me smile every time I see it. It feels soft, romantic, and full of texture. Most importantly, it preserves a moment that means so much to us. If you haven’t used foam adhesive recently, now is a great time to try it.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope this inspires you to document your own love story — and maybe even use a few stash treasures along the way.

Happy crafting!

Foil Mosaic Birthday Card

Posted on February 28, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I tried a new technique to make this Foil Mosaic Birthday Card. The foiled background is a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black that has a design embossed into it by using open embossing folder pressed into it with die-cutting machine. If you try this technique, you’ll need to experiment to get die-cutting sandwich that will work with open embossing folder. This technique allows foil to be applied onto raised areas but not in grooves. I used gold embossing powder to fill grooves and heat embossed all of it. Heat embossing dulls the foil slightly and gives it texture, a look that I really like!

Foil Mosaic Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mosaic Birthday Card Layers

Make card base from 5.5 x 8.5 inches white cardstock. Score and fold to form 4.25 x 5.5 inch card.

Cut black cardstock 3.25 x 5 inches.

From a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black cut 3 inches wide piece lengthwise (3 x 4.8 inches). Peel white liner about half way, align it on black cardstock and press to adhere. Then peel liner completely away and press 3D Foam Creative Sheet onto black cardstock.

Press Design

Place cardstock with 3D Foam Creative Sheet attached face down on raised side of embossing folder. It’s important to have 3D Foam Creative Sheet against folder side that will impress grooves into 3D Foam. Use removable tape to keep in place. Turn over so embossing folder is on top and place on base plate of die cutting machine with embossing folder open. Use cutting plate on top for sandwich that will go through die cutting machine easily yet press pattern into 3D Foam Sheet. Pass through die cutting machine.

Apply Metallic Foil

Peel back liner at one end and randomly apply blue and turquoise foils from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. For this technique, do not press hard. Simply lay the foil on adhesive and lightly rub a small area. Continue to peel liner and apply foil until it’s entirely covered. Reapply foil in areas that may have been missed.

Add Embossing Powder

Lay foiled piece on scrap paper, cover with gold embossing powder and remove excess. Use fingers or dry paper towel to lightly brush away excess amounts of embossing powder that clings to foil, small flecks here and there are okay. Use heat tool to melt embossing powder by keeping it about 3-4 inches away and constantly moving it. Foil will get a texture. Too much heat will cause 3D Foam Sheet to curl and shrink.

Fasten to Card

Apply adhesive to back of foiled mosaic piece with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to card front.

Greeting

Stamp greeting on black cardstock with Versamark ink, cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Use coordinating die and die-cutting machine to cut out greeting.

Cut small pieces of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black and place on back of greeting. Peel away liners and fasten greeting on card.

St. Patrick’s Day Shopping Cart

Posted on February 27, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! February is almost behind us… already?! Do you send cards or decorate for St. Patrick’s Day? I love all holidays! Leslie here, sharing a fun piece of decor with you. This St. Patrick’s Day shopping cart can sit on a mantel or side table. Or it can hold candy, chocolate coins, tags, mini cards, or whatever your heart desires! I’m really excited to show you this, so let’s get started!

St. Patrick's Day Shopping Cart by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Build the St. Patrick’s Day Shopping Cart

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and an SVG cut file in Cricut Design Space, I cut all the pieces. Medium green for the base, lighter green for the layers, and black for the wheels. My main adhesive for assembly was the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, It is the perfect size for the narrow grid structure. Also, in the mix, I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I used two additional SVG cut files in Cricut Design Space for two shamrocks and ‘lucky’ words. Cut these from green glitterstock and black cardstock. Placed the ‘lucky’ words on Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to firmly adhere to the glitter cardstock. Employed my new favorite “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique to make some embellishments. Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (black) with two 3D Foam Circles White Mix created perfect shiny embellishments for each shamrock. Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix added just enough dimension to adhere a shamrock to each side of the cart.

Foiled Hearts Hello Card

Posted on February 25, 2026 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today and I am excited to share this shimmering Foiled Hearts Hello Card with you today! One of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products are the various foam adhesive shapes. For this card, I used the 3D Foam Hearts as the main element on my card.

Foiled Hearts Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foiled Hearts

I used a variety of sizes and then covered each heart in Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, resulting in super shiny, gorgeous hearts for my background! No special tools needed.

After placing the hearts down on the card panel, remove the top liner and cover with a piece of foil (color side facing you). Rub the foil to transfer the color and when you peel off the foil, it reveals a beautiful shine! Repeat the foiling steps for the rest of the hearts. If there’s missed areas, simply reapply the foil…easy!

Sentiment

The sentiment is bold and simple. Just a cardstock die cut “hello you” that stretches across the full card panel, secure it using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. This keeps the message clear and allows those hearts to truly be the star of the show!

The Finishing Touch

Mat the white panel on a colored backdrop provides just that little bit of extra oomph to really make this simple design shine! But give it a pop up by adhering with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft.. Then add the layered panel on a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser.

I hope you give this Foiled Hearts Hello Card a try. Don’t forget to use the Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside concept!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Shiny HBD Card and Tag Duo

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Got a birthday coming up? Teri here to show you how to make a super cute Shiny HBD Card and Tag Duo to celebrate the big day!

Shiny HBD Card and Tag Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

HBD Card and Tag Duo Shiny Background

With a paper trimmer, cut the foam from one sheet of 3D Foam Strips Large but not the bottom liner. Keep them connected for now. Designer’s Tip: I used the large strips for today’s projects, but you could definitely use the smaller width of the 3D Foam Strips.

Let’s apply the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! Remove the paper from the top of the strips. Place a piece of pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Pastel on top with the pretty side up. Set it on an angle partially covering the strips and rub to transfer the color. Reapply the foil in any missed areas. Take a second color of foil (in my case, gold from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors) and repeat the foiling steps to the rest of the strips.

Create a Card Base

Cut the foiled strip panel into two. Apply cardstock and strips of patterned paper to a top-folded card with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Add a couple Creative Photo Corners White as well. Take the larger panel of foiled strips and adhere it to the card front. Designer’s Tip: Partially remove the backing paper before placement. Fold up the top to serve as a handle for control on placement.

Add a Sentiment and Embellish More

Take a medium size 3D Foam Star and place it to a piece of yellow cardstock. Apply blue foil to the star and trim the star out with scissors. Add a “happy” sticker on top of the star. Next, take a strip of white cardstock and add the word to “birthday” to it. I used stickers, but you could handwrite it or stamp it, if desired. Then adhere the sentiment strip to the card front with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft.

Randomly add more 3D Foam Stars to your card and apply the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with more blue foil. Complete your card by adding a few sequins to it with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Make a Tag

Use your smaller panel of foiled 3D Foam Strips Large to make a tag. Create the base from pink cardstock. and add a couple strips of patterned paper to the tag with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Accent the tag front with a few Creative Photo Corners White. Next, add the foiled strips to the tag.

Center the sentiment to the tag and place some 3D Foam Stars. Apply the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with more blue foil. Next, add a few sequins to it with Adhesive Dots Micro. Slit a line to the top and tie some twine through it.

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to try some of the tips and tricks I’ve shared!

Happy Creating!

XOXO Scrapbook Layout

Posted on February 20, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Happy Galentine’s Day, friends! 💕 Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m sharing a love-filled XOXO Scrapbook Layout dedicated to my amazing gal pals! This project features an adorable XOXO cut file, it was the perfect combo for documenting such a special friendship.

XOXO Scrapbook Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Friends for 40 years with these beautiful ladies is rare and incredibly special. No matter what life brings, I know I can always count on them. That deserves to be celebrated—and scrapbooked! To commemorate and for Galentine’s Day, I organized a fun night out at Indulgence where we attended a chocolate and cocktail pairing. The venue had a wall decorated with the cutest X’s, O’s, and hearts, which made the perfect backdrop for a photo of our girl squad. Of course, that photo had to take center stage on this layout.

XOXO Layout Foundation

For the design, I started with a bold red cardstock background and layered white cardstock on top before adding a beautiful blue and red plaid paper. I cut the XOXO cut file from white cardstock so it would really pop against the patterned paper.

Embellish the Cut File

Using the 6 x 6 patterned paper pad, I backed the cut file with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: Choose five different patterns to keep it cohesive but playful. Center the XOXO cut file onto the layout and pop it up with my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft.! I’m all about that pop!

Mat my photo with the same dispenser and then add Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. to one side so it sits as high as the cut file itself—dimension makes everything better, right?

Finishing Touches

I added a fun flair to the “O” next to my photo. Around my matted photo, two heart balloons, a “Hugs and Kisses” title and little hearts were placed and popped up using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Toward the bottom of the cut file, I’ve secured more ephemera pieces (heart, present and heart jar). Lastly, at the bottom using the foam squares, I added a flower bouquet and a sweet teddy bear.

This layout is full of love, dimension, and meaningful memories—just like my friendships. I hope you’re able to celebrate and document your gal pal relationships this month. They are truly special and will always hold a place in my heart.

With love,
Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli) 💕

Galentine’s Day Shopping Layout

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello crafty friends! I hope you had a sweet Valentine’s Day. It’s Kristin here with a fun Galentine’s Day Shopping Layout to share. Valentine’s layouts are some of my favorites to create. This page started with a February outing to Bath & Body Works with my sister. Their Valentine’s display was full of pinks, reds, and heart details. I snapped a photo, and knew it needed its own layout. Here is how I put the entire page together step by step.

Galentine's Day Shopping Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My Galentine’s Day Focal Point

The focal point of my page is a heart-themed cut file to highlight the Valentine theme. When I’m backing a cut file, I like to choose my photo first. Then I can pull colors that complement, not compete with it. Since the Bath & Body Works display had a lot of pink and red tones, I stayed within that color family. So, I chose papers from the Simple Stories Heartstrings collection.

To trace and trim, place the cut file face down on the patterned paper. Lightly traced each opening, and trimmed just inside the pencil line so the paper wouldn’t peek out from the edges. Secure the pieces to the cut file with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Heart Shakers

For some movement, two of the hearts were made into shakers. Adhered acetate in the front and then backed the opening with 3D Foam Strips. Next, fill the shaker with an adorable shaker mix and close the sequin by backing it with vellum.

Assemble the Galentine’s Day Layout

To help stand out the cut file, I centered a 10 x 10″ black cardstock against my patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then added pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft behind the entire cut file to lift it off the background. That extra dimension gives it such a fun, layered look and makes the hearts really stand out.

For the title, I went into my stash and pulled out these white Sonnets letter stickers. Use your stash! The letter stickers added just the right handmade touch and balanced the sweetness of all the hearts.

To finish, small clusters were added around the photo with a few elements popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Continue to embellish until desired look is achieved but not to crowd on the page. That’s always my rule: stop before it feels like too much.

Document moments of everyday joy…as simple shopping trip turned into a memory worth preserving. That’s what I love most about scrapbooking—it transforms ordinary moments into lasting keepsakes. Remember start with a photo, limit your color palette but mix pattern scales, and don’t forget dimension.

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

Spring Chicken Birthday Card

Posted on February 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here Today I would like to share how I made this fun Spring Chicken Birthday Card with its simple layering. It’s also perfect for a beginner card maker. It’s super quick to make, so if you need a last minute card, this is might be a great fit! Let’s get started!

Spring Chicken Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Spring Birthday Card Base

Trim a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size for the top card panel. Mat it to a yellow card penal and then to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Card Front

For the pieces to make the focal point, I fussy cut elements from patterned papers like a tag and a happy birthday sentiment banner. Center and then give the tag a slight angle onto the card front. To make it interesting, I popped it up with 3D Foam Strips LG in White. Mat the Happy Birthday banner with yellow cardstock strip using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then trim it slightly larger than the banner.

Lastly, add an element of fun heart row to the tag using 3D Foam Squares White Small for dimension. And voilá, your Spring Chicken Birthday Card is ready! Wishing you happy crafting!
