Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo

Posted on February 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Do you keep pretty paper napkins in your craft stash? I do! I used a floral napkin to make these Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo. Because they are delicate, I used Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. to assist. I’m very happy with how they turned out and so easy that I plan to make more with other types of papers!

Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo Design

The printed layer of a paper napkin is very thin so to support it, I secured it to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. First, cut the adhesive sheet to 7 x 6 inches and remove the liner from one edge of Adhesive Sheet. Place it to the 7 x 6 inch piece of cardstock. Rub well with bone folder. Designer’s Tip: Choose a light color cardstock similar to background of napkin or white or cream.

Cut the napkin slightly bigger than 7 x 6 inches and remove its back layer. Peel the liner away from the cardstock, place the napkin on the adhesive and press in place.

Make the Bookmark and Sentiment

Die-cut two bookmarks from the napkin covered cardstock. Designer’s Tip: Instead of using a die, two rectangles 1.75 x 6 inches can be cut for bookmark. Place verse stamp in a stamp positioning tool and stamp on the back side of the bookmark with Fallen Leaves ink. Use heat tool to dry ink. Repeat steps for the second bookmark.

Laminate Bookmark

Remove one laminate card piece from the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium pack. Following directions on the package, position one bookmark in card towards hinge edge. Turn over the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium, lift the backing and peel the edge strip. Then partially peel liner and press laminate against the bookmark. Next, place the second bookmark in place and continue to peel liner from backing. Lastly, completely cover both bookmarks.

Rub laminate well with soft cloth or Teflon bone folder along all edges of bookmarks. Cut around each bookmark leaving about 0.125 – 0.25 inch border of clear laminate. Punch hole at top. Round corners with corner punch or scissors

Add the Finishing Touch

Cut a piece of seam binding or ribbon, loop through hole and knot the ends. One of the bookmarks shown with the verse is the back side.

I hope you enjoyed this Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo tutorial. Perfect for the bookworm in you, a friend or two!

A Classic Mouse Birthday Card

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, folks! This is Jingle here today sharing a super fun Classic Mouse Birthday Card featuring everyone’s favorite mouse! I chose to go with a greyscale color scheme for the Mickey to give it that truly classic look. Because the colors are so simple, I wanted to really make things stand out with layers of amazing dimension. That’s where I turned to my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam adhesives collection to build Mickey in the best possible way!

Classic Mouse Birthday Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Begin with the Classic Mouse Design

To create this card, begin by die cutting the pieces using your die cut machine. Designer’s Tip: Good quality cardstock is important when you are building depth and dimension, as it needs to hold up well. Now that our pieces are all cut, we will begin assembly.

Determine which pieces will be popped up and which will be adhered. Since the piece are small, I decided to use the the 3D Foam Squares Black Small. Designer’s Tip: To pick up these small squares and place them on the small die-cut pieces, I find that tweezers work very well. They are also super handy for removing the backing paper!

For the other pieces, I use the smaller tip on the Dual Tip Glue Pen makes for quick and easy assembly with a great hold.

Working on a Background

Let’s prepare our background. Ink blend a pale blue panel for a beautiful sky look. Cut a strip of green cardstock for the grass, and adhere it to the inked panel with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. I love this one for smaller accents like this!

Add the Focal Point & Sentiment

Again, using tweezers, adhere 3D Foam Squares Black Regular to the back of your assembled mouse. You can use a mix of the regular squares and the small ones to ensure you have full coverage. In some spots, you can double the adhesive to be sure it is even across the figure and will rest nicely on the card.

Attach the mouse to the card and then, using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser, adhere a pre-printed sentiment to complete the design.

Assemble the Classic Mouse Card

Finally, use the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft to adhere your panel to the card base. This offers some additional rigidity and that extra bump to make this a super dimensional card!

Doesn’t that look so good?! I just love adding dimension to my die cut pieces!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you create something that really POPS soon!

Up-Cycled Holiday Card Duo

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have some Up-Cycled Holiday Card ideas that came from my pile of last year’s holiday season. Nothing like starting your seasonal cards now especially with what you have on hand! Let me show you my two reconstructed creations!

Up-Cycled Holiday Card Duo by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Holiday Card Duo – Thoughts of This Season

The first card was built from three Christmas cards in my stash. I took one entire glittery scene card front and fussy cut a snowy glittered tree from another. The sentiment was taken from the third card.

Add the glittery card front to a white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Place and pop up the the snowy tree with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix toward the right side of the card. To add a little more lift and highlight the sentiment, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and placed it at the bottom.

For the finishing touch, I wanted to accent it with a little more color and shine so sequins were added to the tree using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Holiday Card Duo – Merry Christmas Across the Miles

The second up-cycled card, I used parts from two Christmas cards. The gold frame and sentiment were from one card. Fussy cut the bird with branch, along with some snowflakes from the other. Let’s work on the frame and sentiment first.

Add the frame to the black cardstock card base using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle lift. Next, wrap a little burlap string around the sentiment strip and tie a bow. Then place it on the top left corner of the card with some small squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

To finish the card, adhered bird with branch to the card front using several 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then add the snowflakes with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a different dimension.

Now I know I have two cards done for the holidays this year! LOL! I hope I inspired you to get started on your holiday cardmaking effort. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Floral Card with Flocked Background

Posted on February 7, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Did you know you can use flock with our adhesives to make a fun striped background? Teri here to do just that with 3D Foam Strips and Premium Double-Sided Tape! I’ll also show you how to put together a super cute Hello Floral Card!

Hello Floral Card with Flocked Background by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Hello Floral Card Panel

Use a white cardstock panel as the base to apply a combination of 3D Foam Strips Large White and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in for an alternating stripe pattern of width and height. Or mix it up to your desired look. Trim off excess off the edges of the panel.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Flock

Remove the release papers on the strips and cover them with white flock. I used the same color but you could mix it up by using different colors. If you decide to go that route, apply each flock color to one strip at a time to keep from mixing colors together.

Assemble the Card Layers

Create your own patterned card mat by adhering a combination of different designs to a card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then pop up the flocked striped panel on the patterned card mat with 3D Foam Strips.

Create the Floral Cluster

Arrange floral die-cut shapes in a cluster design. Designer’s Tip: Use a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in to help determine placement before committing. Once the design is decided, mount the floral cluster on the card front with 3D Foam Strips Large White.

Add any additional die-cuts to your panel with 3D Foam Squares Regular Size for an extra little pop.

Add a Sentiment and Embellishments

For the greeting, I used a sticker sentiment and for extra security. I added a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in because I was worried it would not hold well with the flock I used.

Complete the Hello Floral Card by adding a few more small flower die-cuts or stickers to it with Adhesive Dots Micro. It’s a perfect size!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tips and tricks. Consider making your own flocked paper panel with 3D Foam Strips Large White and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in!

Happy Creating!

Layered Heartful Card

Posted on February 5, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! Valentine’s Day is coming up, so time for some last minute creative Valentine’s crafting. This Layered Heartful Card is very easy and quick to create…and the best part? It’s made of the left over sheet from 3D Foam Hearts! Shall we get started?

Layered Heartful Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Layered Heartful Card Panel

Remove the top liner of the 3D Foam Hearts leftover sheet, keep the bottom liner on to help keep its shape. Plus it’s easier to place it on a red cardstock panel. Once adhered, rub to secure.

Remove the back liner. First randomly sprinkle pink glitter, press to secure into the foam and tap off excess. Next, repeat the same steps with the orange glitter. Trim the red panel to the desired size. The technique making your adhesive shine is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Finishing Touches

Let’s assemble! Layer the card panel onto a pink mat and then onto a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Next, stamp a sentiment on a white banner with black ink and mat onto a slightly larger pink banner using the same adhesive. Lastly, pop up the sentiment subtilty with some Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. The height of this tape is only 1/32″ (about half of 1/16″).

And voilá, the Layered Heartful Card is ready to send! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and inspire you to create one too! I wish you happy crafting!

CAS Bookworm Layout

Posted on February 4, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hi there! It’s Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli), and I’m so excited to share this CAS (Clean and Simple) Bookworm Layout featuring my bestie Jenny and me. We are huge readers for as long as I can remember, even back in high school. Leaning into reading even more, we attended several book events nearby. I’ve documented a book launch party of Emily Henry’s new book Great Big Beautiful Life.

CAS Bookworm Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Building the Bookworm Layout

For this layout, I chose a pretty teal cardstock for the background and used the adorable bookshelf stickers from a sticker sheet as an element. How? Simply apply baby powder to the backs of the shelves and used 3D Foam Strips behind them. It was perfect since the pieces were so narrow. This really made them pop off the page.

For interest, I staggered the shelves and used my favorite 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind the book stickers and stacked them on each shelf. To add even more dimension, I also popped up the other book stacks, plants, and typewriter ephemera.

I used my handy E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere the note papers and layered our photos over the torn pieces for extra texture. I absolutely love how this layout came together!

We have so much fun discussing the books we read and attending bookish events together. I hope everyone is taking advantage of the cold weather we’ve been having—perfect for cozy reading time or getting crafty. Stay warm and happy reading! 📚✨

DIY Mini Desktop Calendar

Posted on February 1, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello crafty friends! It’s Kristin here with another project! There’s something magical about turning an everyday object into something functional and whimsical. This year, I decided to give new life to a ring jewelry box by transforming it into a DIY Mini Desktop Calendar — and the results are pure pixie dust! I had purchased a set of 2026 mini calendars with the good intention of making a few gifts for friends this year, but life got in the way.

DIY Mini Desktop Calendar by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Repurpose to Create a Mini Desktop Calendar

Gather a few items from my stash and grabbed some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products. The adhesives are strong, clean, and perfect for any style crafting where precision matters.

Start with the Base

Measure the inside of the box and cut the patterned paper selections down to 3.25″ x 3″. Then adhere them inside the top and bottom of box with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft..

Once the patterned papers were secured, it needed something so I pulled red baker’s twine from my stash. Secure it down along the interior edges using the Dual Tip Glue Pen using the fine point. Now the interior looked more polished to me!

Adhering the Calendar to the Base

To position the calendar sitting at an angle, I used some chipboard to make a slanted base. Cut a piece of 2.75″x 5″ and scored it at 2.25″ and 2.75″ to form an angled base. Adhere the calendar to that base with the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in and using the same tape, adhered the calendar to the base.

Fussy cut a found Mickey & Minnie tag (it was from a sweatshirt I bought last year) to fit inside the box. To make it stand, I cut a small 0.5″ x 3.5″strip of chipboard and scored it at 1″ and 2″. Place a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in to the back of the mice and adhered it in the box as shown.

Finishing Touches

In my stash, there’s a Disney-themed 3D sticker set and from it, I used the MAGIC banner, the word “Dream” (pop it up with the small squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix) and the camera placed in between Mickey and Minnie. Done!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun DIY Mini Desktop Calendar tutorial. It is compact, charming, and full of personality. The sturdy adhesives ensure everything stays secure for the entire year.

It’s a perfect gift idea, a fun desk accessory, and a great way to upcycle something that might otherwise be forgotten. Mine is proudly on display in my office at my brand-new job! I hope this inspires you to find things in your stash to use outside the box. Thank you so much for visiting!

Patchwork Birthday Card

Posted on January 29, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Lately, I’ve been inspired by lots of sewing and quilting online so I decided to make a paper patchwork background for this cute Patchwork Birthday Card. It’s a way to use up paper scraps and create a whole new “patterned” paper.

Patchwork Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Patchwork Pieces

Cut pieces:

Patterned papers – Seven 0.5 x 12 inch strips and cut in half to 6 inches long
Printer paper – 6 x 6 inches
White cardstock – 4.25 x 6 inch piece
Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. – 6 x 6 inches and 4.25 x 6 inches

Strip Placement

Apply 6 x 6 inch piece of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. to printer paper, burnish well. Secure 4.25 x 6 inch piece of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. to white cardstock.

Partially peel back liner along one edge of 6 x 6 piece. Align the edges of the patterned strips horizontally and press in place. Repeat this step by adding alternating strips until completely covered. Use paper trimmer cut side edges evenly. Then cut 0.5 inch strips vertically across the panel.

Create Patchwork Panel

Peel back the liner at short end of the 4.25 x 6 inch cardstock, place a patchwork strip along edge, trim off excess. Place next patchwork strip so that squares are off-set from previous strip and patterns, each square centered on seam of previous strip. Cut strips as necessary to alternate patterns. Strips can be cut in pieces to make patterns and colors random. Continue to place patchwork strips in this manner to cover entire cardstock piece. Trim panel to 3.75 x 5.5 inches.

Card Base Layers

Cut 7 x 10 inches rectangle of white cardstock, score and fold to create 5 x 7 inches card.

Cut Pieces:

Lime Green Cardstock: 4.5 x 6.25 inch mat
Pink Cardstock: 4 x 5.75 inch mat
White Cardstock: 1.25 x 3.625 greeting panel
Pink Cardstock: 1.50 x 3.875 greeting mat

Adhere the lime green mat to the card front with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Then place the pink mat on top and lastly, the patchwork panel, using the same adhesive.

Greeting

Mat the white cardstock greeting panel with the pink mat with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. From the sticker sheet, place the “Happy” and “Birthday” on the layered greeting panel and add the tiny hearts stickers in front of “Happy” to finish.

Add the Greeting and Embellish with Flowers

Place several large squares from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the greeting panel. Peel off the liners and place it on the card front as shown. For the finishing touches, put several Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of five assorted flowers. Arrange the flowers on the card below greeting, and attach in place.

TEA-riffic Friendship Card

Posted on January 27, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody – happy Tuesday! Hoping the first month of the new year has been kind to you so far. Are you ready for a warm cup of tea?! I think I am! Leslie here, sharing a super cute faux narrow panel step card which can be tailored to literally any occasion. Thinking this chilly weather calls for a warm cuppa, that’s the direction I went… a TEA-riffic friendship card! This fun fold features several of my essential ‘go-to’ Scrapbook Adhesives products. Let me show you how easy this card is to make!

TEA-riffic Friendship Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

TEA-rrific Focal Element

Using circle and scallop dies, I cut a layered background for the focal element, approximately 3-3/4″ in diameter. Reached for the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble it. Next, using a stamp and die bundle in my stash, I added fussy-cut florals with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The cup was popped up on Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for just a hint of dimension.

Card Base Details

Afterwards, I cut the card base at 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″ and 6-3/4″. Adhered patterned paper panels using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Additionally, I cut the faux narrow panel at 1-1/2″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″. Also adhered patterned paper panels to this piece using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

TEA-riffic Friendship Card Assembly

Applied adhesive with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to the inside outer ends of the faux narrow panel. Closed the card base and slid the narrow panel into place, centering it and lining up the bottom edges. Pressed into place to adhere.

To complete the front, I added the focal element and a stamped sentiment using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Had to add a few clear gemstones… gotta have some bling!

Finishing The Inside

I incorporated a strip of patterned paper used on the front onto the sentiment panel. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment, and this super cute fun fold was finished!

Sweet Forest Shadow Box Card

Posted on January 25, 2026 by Jennifer Ingle

Hello, and welcome! This is Jingle here today sharing a Sweet Forest Shadow Box Card I created with a birthday theme in mind!

Sweet Forest Shadow Box Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Forest Shadow Box Construction

For this card, I used some of the same construction principles that I used in my last post, Blooming Birthday Shaker Card. This one, however, is a shadow box instead of a shaker. I popped up the circle window using 3D Foam Circle Frames and arranged my die cut pieces to create my scene inside!

Not only is this a great way to add dimension and depth, it looks like a LOT of work. The truth is, however, it is super simple with great dimensional adhesives!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames

For a bit of shine and a whole lot of pizzaz, I added a foil frame to the window. How? Simply place the frame that best fit the opening from the 3D Foam Circle Frames White. Remove the top liner and place a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (color side facing you). Rub the foil into the frame to transfer the color. Peel to reveal the shine!

I hope you give the Sweet Forest Shadow Box Card idea a try! I’d love to see what you create, so don’t hesitate to tag me!
