Layered Heartful Card

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″).

CAS Bookworm Layout

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.

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

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

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.

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

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..

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

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!

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

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!

You’re a Grate Friend Card

Hi, friends! Do you like to add glitz and dimension to your stamped cards? Teri here to show you how to use 3D Foam Products with Metallic Transfer Foil to do just that like the You’re a Grate Friend Card!

You're a Grate Friend Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set Up the Grate Friend Card

Make a standard A2-size (4.25 x 5.5″) card base out of white cardstock. Decorate it with patterned paper strips using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Next, stamp a few images, color and cut them out. To anchor the stamped images, I die-cut two circles in different sizes (larger one in white cardstock and the smaller in patterned paper) and mat together with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then place the stamped images on top before centering it on the card front.

Anchor the Focal Point with a 3D Foam Frame

Place a 3D Foam Frame that fits the circled focal point on an angle on the card front, letting some of it hang off. Designer’s Tip: Be sure to leave the release paper on it to keep its shape. Trim excess that is hanging off the card.

You're a Grate Friend Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

One of the reasons why I love the 3D Foam Frames is not only they can be used as traditional frames but they are versatile enough to get creative with – use a portion of them, cut them up or make a wonky shape!

Embellish More with 3D Foam Hearts + Other 3D Foam Products

Why stop with the 3D Foam Frames? Add a few more 3D Foam shapes as accents (think sequins!). So, I added a few 3D Foam Hearts around the layered focal point. Then place a few circles from the 3D Foam Circle Frames outside of the frame. Designer’s Tip: Leave the top release paper on them – it will make easier to foil around them.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

Remove the release paper from the frame. Grab a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Color. With the color side facing you, place the foil on top of the exposed adhesives and gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the frame. Peel to reveal the beautiful shine! Repeat this process with the foam hearts and circles using colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Designer’s Tip: Foil the foam shapes a few at a time rather than all of them at once.

You're a Grate Friend Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fixing a Problem

I managed to get some adhesive onto the sentiment so some of the foil transferred on it when I applied foil to my 3D foam elements – Whoops! BUT I have a solution! Stamp and cut the sentiment a second time. To make it pop, I cut a little bit of foam from the 3D Foam Frames to fit behind the second sentiment. Place over the old sentiment. Designer’s Tip: Make sure when you enough foam to cover the second sentiment completely to avoid any sagging.

I hope you are inspired by today’s You’re a Grate Friend Card tutorial to try the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with some of 3D Foam Shapes and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Creating!

Creative Friends Layout

Hello my creative friends! 💕 Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) with a fun and meaningful layout featuring me and my crafty friends. This page documents my time at Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine’s Create & Inspire event in Canada.

Creative Friends Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Building the Creative Friends Background

For this page, I used my favorite adhesive to attach the amazing title cut file along with the beautiful chipboard frame. I love how both elements pop right off that gorgeous floral background paper—it really brings the whole layout to life. To document my favorite memories from this trip, I used the True Colors collection from Simple Stories, which felt like the perfect match for all the creativity, color, and joy we experienced during the event.

Creative Friends Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding Dimension to Embellishments

I backed the title cut file with two papers from the 6×8 paper pad and added 3D Foam Strips behind the skinny letters to give them some extra dimension. These 3D Foam Strips are such a game changer—no more struggling to cut regular foam tape in half to fit those narrow spaces! I also placed a 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind the box of crayon stickers before adhering it to the letter “D,” and added 3D Foam Strips behind that cute little paintbrush to give it some extra pop and personality.

Creative Friends Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Photo Placement

I printed two 3×4 photos and adhered them to the chipboard frame, then added Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. behind the entire frame to lift the photos off the page. We were snapping fun pictures at the event when Catherine jumped right into the photos with us, and it still makes me smile. I just love our happy faces, and when I look at these photos I can still hear us laughing. Moments like these are exactly why I love documenting our crafty adventures.

Creative Friends Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To finish off the page, I added a sweet paintbrush phrase using a 3D Foam Strips since it’s thin and narrow, placing it right on the frame. I also selected three stickers from the sticker book, applied baby powder to the backs, then added 3D Foam Squares White Mix so they would pop beautifully off the frame and add even more dimension to the layout.

Creative Friends Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Don’t forget to document those crafty events we attend—they are such a big part of who we are. We are collectors of moments, memories, and friendships, and I’m so grateful to have these captured forever. 💖

Stay crafty, my friends!

A Toast to Retirement Card

Hello crafty friends! It’s Kristin with my very first project for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Design Team. I am so excited to be part of this amazing team! This month, I have a friend that is retiring and was inspired to make this simple, but oh so adorable A Toast to Retirement Card.

A Toast to Retirement Card by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Toast to Retirement Card Base & Stamp Details

For the card base, I used a 4.5” x 6.25” pink polka dot card base from a kit. It went so perfectly with the vibe I was going for. Used a stamp positioner to stamp all my images and sentiment with the black ink on white cardstock. Then die-cut the shapes with its matching craft dies.

To color the stamped images, I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and for the toast, some Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle was added to give it a “metal” or “polished” look to it.

Toast to Retirement Sentiment

Stamp the greeting with black ink on white cardstock and trim down to a strip. However, it was stark white and didn’t quite match the look of the card. So, back to my stash and found my metallic rub-on paints to alter the cardstock color. After testing on a scrap piece, I covered my sentiment strip and it was perfect!

A Toast to Retirement Card by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Card

The toaster was popped up with the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft and I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to tuck the toast pieces behind the toaster. For the sentiment strips, I adhered them with the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser above the stamped image ensemble. 

Finishing Touches

Randomly place a teeny tiny amount of glue from Dual Tip Glue Pen on three spots on the card and added the rhinestones. To anchor the card, a border was added around the card by using my Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Marker.  What do you think?

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Toast to Retirement Card tutorial and that it inspires you to find things in your stash of supplies to use again.  Happy New Year and thank you for visiting!

Flowered Heart Love Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with some Valentine’s Day inspiration. Hearts and flowers are a perfect combination to create this Flowered Heart Love Card! I would love for you to see my process in creating this whimsical focal point with lots of mulberry flowers! Wanna join me?

Flowered Heart Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep the Card Panel

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with an embossing folder and trim it into a top card panel size. Die-cut a heart from gold glitter cardstock and adhere it to an embossed card panel. Pop up the shape with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Add Dimension and Texture

To give the heart more interest, I adhere mulberry flowers around its edge with Adhesive Dots Micro. Start by using slightly larger blooms and closer to the center, tuck in smaller blooms. Add in self-adhesive pearls in the centers to finish the look. Love it! Finally, place some mulberry leaves under the heart for an extra somthing.

Flowered Heart Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Card and Add Sentiment

Mat the embellished top panel to a pink panel and then to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. To finish, place a Label Sticker on a small pink banner and adhered it to the center of the heart with 3D Foam Squares White Mix to lift up and highlight the sentiment.
