Merry and Bright Lights Layout

Posted on December 20, 2025 by Ali Skifton

Happy Holidays! Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today and I’m so excited to share a festive Merry and Bright Lights Layout featuring Doodlebug Design’s “Oh What Fun” Collection, with one of my current crafting obsessions—the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Merry and Bright Lights Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I have completely fallen in love with this foil, and the holiday season is the perfect time to bring on all the sparkle. The gold foil especially adds such a magical touch and really makes the Christmas lights shine.

Building the Merry & Bright Lights Background

Start with cutting the cut file with white cardstock. I love starting with white because it allows all the colors and textures to really stand out. Once the cut file was ready, I backed each section with the bright, cheerful patterned papers from the 6×8 paper pad, and secure with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Accenting with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique

To take the design up a notch, I decided to use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique with some 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors to accent the cut file shape.

I placed a piece of fine gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors to apply them on some of the regular size of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix by taking off the top liner and (with the color side facing you) rub them to transfer the color to the foam squares. Next, cut them in half to fit in the back of the cut file. Apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser to the back of the cut file.

This step not only completed the look of the Christmas lights but also added beautiful dimension, making the lights pop right off the page. The combination of color, shine, and height really brings the whole layout to life.

Mat the Photo

For my photo, I double-matted one of my favorite pictures from last Christmas—me standing in a tunnel of Christmas lights, surrounded by my favorite color of the season. I love how the photo ties in perfectly with the theme of the layout and complements the bright, festive colors of the collection. I sprinkled some enamel dots in between the lights to fill in the white space.

Once everything came together, I couldn’t be happier with the final result. The mix of patterns, colors, and that gorgeous gold foil creates so much visual interest and festive cheer. This layout truly sparkles and feels full of holiday joy—it’s definitely lit!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope this layout inspires you to add a little foil, dimension, and extra sparkle to your holiday projects. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday season! 🎄✨

Love, Ali

Dimensional Christmas Tree Card

Posted on December 17, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a traditional looking Dimensional Christmas Tree Card. This card is all about layering and making the Christmas tree more realistic.

Dimensional Christmas Tree Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I know it might look complicated to create, but I can assure you it isn’t at all. I also added a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside to customize my embellishment with adhesives…can you guess which one? Curious? Well…let’s get crafty!

Dimensional Christmas Tree Panel

Trim a piece of kraft cardstock to a rectangular size panel. Designer’s Tip: For interest, I cut the panel slightly larger than the background stamp so I can add a ruler stamp design all around the background stamp. In other words, create a background you like by adding another design 🙂 Stamp both the pine background and ruler design with black ink for consistency.

Assemble the Panels and Card Base

To create the card base of the Dimensional Christmas Tree Card, I matted the stamped card panel to a red panel for a pop of color before adhering to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Build the Christmas Tree

Die-cut the tree layers from green cardstock and ink the edges with a slightly different shade of green. For dimension, curl the lower parts of the tree layers and secure onto the card front with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles + Glitter

To create the ornaments, I will use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using some 3D Foam Circles White Mix and red glitter. This technique brings the adhesive from under the layers to the front as customized embellishments 🙂 And it’s simple! Once the ornaments are placed on the tree, remove the top liner, cover with glitter and press into the foam to secure. Tap off the excess and done!

To finish trimming the tree, I wrapped some gold twine around the tree and adhered the ends using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then added more to be back of the tree and centered it to the card front.

Add the Sentiment

For the sentiment, I used a sticker that I matted on a red cardstock strip and placed it at the bottom of the tree using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá, the Dimensional Christmas Tree Card is finished! It wasn’t that complicated at all, was it? Wishing you happy holiday crafting!

Shaped Snowglobe Card

Posted on December 15, 2025 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Are you in full-on Christmas mode yet? I stay in Christmas mode all year long! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for creating a Shaped Snowglobe Card. I absolutely LOVE shaped cards… they scream F-U-N as soon as they’re pulled out of the envelope. Using Trinity Stamps and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products, I’ve put together this super fun card, so let’s get started!

Shaped Snowglobe Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base & Layers

Using the snowglobe dies, cut all the pieces from white cardstock. Heavyweight white cardstock is great for the base and medium weight is good for the rest of the elements. Cut two frames and saved the extra globe pieces, using them for a snowbank and the inside sentiment which you’ll see in later steps.

Prepare Elements for Scene

Now prepare the elements needed for the scene inside the snowglobe.
1. Color the cabin and trees with markers. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen for cabin assembly. Don’t forget to glue a colored yellow strip behind the windows… the lights need to be on in the cabin!
2. Apply a small foam square from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of one of the trees for a tiny bit of dimension.
3. Stamp the Santa gnome and color him with markers. Then fussy cut him if you don’t have the coordinating dies.
4. Spritz the snowflake background piece with shimmer spray to give it some nice snowy shimmer. Cut a snowbank (from one of the extra globe pieces) and spritz it as well. Let dry and glue the snowbank to the background using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
5. Color the snowglobe stand dark brown to resemble wood. Cut one more stand from white cardstock and trim the top and bottom from it, leaving just the center strip. Using green and red inks, stamp the HO HO HO sentiment three times on the strip. Secure the strip with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. to the stand.

Build Scene

After adhering the two frames together for a little dimension, glue them to the card front with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Now build the scene inside the snowglobe. Glue down the spritzed snowflake background with the snowbank. Similarly, glue the cabin and trees in place, and then add the Santa gnome. Adhere the stand to the bottom using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

The ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique is my newest craft addiction! Take five of the smallest circles from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes and apply Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Use the silver foil to create shiny snowflakes and apply them randomly over the background. Create two additional shiny embellishments with the circles and red foil to add to the sentiment strip on the stand.

Complete Shaped Snowglobe Card

The only thing left to do is to add an inside sentiment. Stamp a sentiment in black ink on the other extra globe piece. Adhere this to the inside using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and the card is complete.

That’s it, my friends! Thanks so much for visiting – we’ll see you next time!

Poinsettia Tag

Posted on December 13, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! This Poinsettia Tag Ornament is a versatile project as it can be used a gift tag, an ornament or both. The focal point is a lovely cluster of stamped flowers and greenery die-cut shapes against a weathered white wood tag. Once on the tag, glitter is sprinkled over glue for pretty sparkle.

Poinsettia Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prepare the Poinsettia Tag Pieces

First, spray 2.5 x 4″ wood tag with Distress Spritz Hickory Smoke and set aside to dry. On white cardstock, stamp the poinsettias and die-cut the shapes with lovely blue ink. Add tiny dots of Liquid Pearls Gold to the centers. Next, stamp the foliage from white cardstock and various green tone ink colors.

Prep the Poinsettia Cluster

Place small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of all foliage pieces about center of each one. Designer’s Tip: This allows ends to be slightly bent forward once on tag for dimension.

On the backs of the poinsettias, apply large Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and add double layer of small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on petals that will be toward the bottom corner of the tag for added dimension.

Add the Tag Title

Cut pieces of 3D Foam Strips to place on the back of the PEACE sentiment and add near the top of the tag, slightly towards the right edge.

Add the Cluster

Arrange the foliage pieces, peel the liners and secure them to the tag. Lay the poinsettias on the tag to use as a guide for foliage placement. Trim bottom ends of foliage if needed. Peel the liners from the poinsettias and place over the foliage near the bottom corner of the tag.

Glitter All The Things

What’s the holidays without the sparkle? Squeeze a small amount of glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen on a scrap of plastic. Use a small brush to spread the glue on the foliage. Next, sprinkle the glitter on top and tap off the excess. Repeat the same glitter steps on the poinsettias and the sentiment. Let dry.

Finish with a Bow and Ribbon

Tie a tiny bow with gold cord and place a small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on each side of bow knot. Tuck it under the large poinsettia and press in place to secure. Thread a looped white seam binding the tag opening and tie a knot. Wrap a piece of gold cord around the seam binding near tag, tie knot and trim ends.

I hope you enjoyed the Poinsettia Tag tutorial and it inspires you to create some for your holiday makes! Thanks for visiting!

Engaged Art Journal Pages

Posted on December 10, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Are you looking for a shorter way to document life? Hi, Margie here today and I am sharing my newest memory making journey, Art Journaling! It gives a smaller real estate so it’s faster and sometimes easier to create pages. Come see my Engaged Art Journal Pages!

Engaged Art Journal Pages by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Engaged Art Journal Page Foundation

I picked my journal size which is 6 x 8″ because I see a lot of paper pads in that size 🙂 After choosing a two page layout with the same patterned papers as the base. The strips of papers vary in width from 0.25 to 3″.

The thin borders are about 1/8″ in width and they were secured with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser (the adhesive is also 1/8″ in width). Designer’s Tip: I cannot draw a straight line, let alone roll a straight line – LOL! So I folded the excess that are off the edges and hide behind the paper.

Engaged Art Journal Pages by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding the Pictures

For smaller pages, I created a collage of pictures so I have different sizes. The three pictures I picked were secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Journal Pages

Add three Dew Drops in Amber on each page under the pictures on the thin border. Secure the acetate accents with the Adhesive Dots Small. Then add the title, Engaged 2024, on the border under the largest picture.

Hope you give art journaling a try like my Engaged Art Journal Pages. Let me know if you already do and share in the comments!

Tiny Tree Gift Tags

Posted on December 7, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Looking for a simple but cute way to decorate your Christmas packages? Teri here to show you how to make some adorable Tiny Tree Gift Tags.

Tiny Tree Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These little tags look adorable on Christmas packages and are so easy to make!

Making Tiny Tree Gift Tag Base

Cut a couple of trees from green cardstock and one in white cardstock with triangle dies. To give the green triangles interest, blend a little ink on them before layering and adhering them together with the E-Z Dots® Petite Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Mount the white triangle to the back of the layered green one. Roll the adhesive just at the top so that it can open to write a small message. Punch a hole in the top of the tag and add a star to the tree top.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Premium Double-Sided Tape

Place strips of Premium Double-Sided Tape across the tree and remove all of the release papers and add foil. With a piece of silver foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foil, place the foil color side facing you to the exposed adhesive and rub to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal the shine! Note that the other Tiny Tree Gift Tag, I added sentiment strips instead of the foil strips.

Further embellish the tree tags by randomly adding some small 3D Foam Circles to them and apply the foiling steps from above. This time, I used a combination of different foil colors from the the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foil. Complete your tree tag by adding some twine to it.

Change It Up

Stamp a small sentiment on the tree and tape strips around it. Repeat the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with the foils. Then randomly add the 3D Foam Circles and foil. Also, fashion a tree stump from a tan or brown piece of cardstock for a fun look.

Make a bigger tree tags than mine – that’s OK. Just add more decorations to your trees! I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Tiny Tree Gift Tag tutorial and are inspired to play! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Creating!

Holiday Magic Snowflake Card

Posted on December 5, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with some seasonal inspoiration. With Christmas coming up in a few weeks, it’s time to get crafty and make Christmas cards. With 3D Foam Snowflakes it’s super easy to create a snowy scenery like this Holiday Magic Snowflake Card.

Holiday Magic Snowflake Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love to share how I made my card. Will you join me? Oh…and the fun thing is…this card is also suitable for beginner cardmakers!

Holiday Magic Top Card Panel

Trim a piece of dark blue cardstock to a rectangular size. Next, use a light blue chalky inkpad and blending tool to create an additional color effect on the panel. Mat the panel on a slight larger soft blue panel and lastly on a white card base, using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Snowflake

Place some 3D Foam Snowflakes on card front towards the right side as pictured (keep the top liner on for now) and surround the flakes with the foam dots (keeping the top liners on) . Grab some enamel dots that will fit in the centers of the snowflakes. Remove the liner of the snowflakes only to center the enamel dots.

Cover the snowflake foam shapes with white glitter, rub/press the glitter in to secure, and tap off any excess. Remove the liner of the dots and repeat the glittering steps with silver glitter. The super easy technique is Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside – bring the adhesives out from layers to make them shine as embellishments!

Finishing Touches

For the finishing touches, draw tiny snowflake dots with a white pen. Place a sentiment sticker on a soft blue banner and adhere onto the card with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And Voilá, your Holiday Magic Snowflake Card is ready to be posted or gifted! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy holiday crafting!

Happiest Season Of All Layout

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Ali Skifton

Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m so excited to share a festive Christmas layout with you today—Happiest Season of All. This page was such a joy to create, and I love how perfectly everything came together.

Happiest Season Of All Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happiest Season Of All Story

The picture I chose is one of my absolute favorites. Last Christmas, Anne and I visited the Mariah Carey Bar in Chicago, and it was every bit as magical as you’d expect—sparkling lights, gorgeous decorations, and total holiday vibes in every corner. We took this photo in front of the most beautiful Christmas tree, and it instantly brought back all the joy and fun of that weekend. It really was the perfect kickoff to the holiday season.

Building the Christmas Layout

To build the foundation of my layout, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to double-mat the background. I love how a double mat gives the page structure and a touch of sophistication. After that, I adhered the title cut file using foam strips, then moved on to my favorite part—embellishing!

For the title, I used a cut file with skinny letters, which worked beautifully with my 3D Foam Strips. The foam added just the right amount of dimension, making the title pop without overwhelming the design. I paired the cut file with the new Simple Stories collection, All Wrapped Up. The colors and patterns in this line matched my photo so well that it almost felt meant to be.

I added stickers and ephemera pieces around the layout, using 3D Foam Squares White Mix to give the smaller embellishments some lift. It was especially fun to pop up the tiny ornaments and add enamel dots to the centers of the ribbon bows for an extra festive touch. I also used a mix of foam square sizes along the sticker border to keep everything visually dynamic.

For my photo, I reached for the Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft. It gave the picture just the right elevation above the title and helped draw the eye directly to the focal point of the page.

All in all, this layout was such a fun and cheerful project—truly capturing the happiest season of all. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing a little crafty Christmas magic with me. Until next time, happy creating!

Warm Wishes, Ali

Joyful Christmas Card

Posted on November 29, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! My inspiration for this Joyful Christmas Card came from a pieced and quilted fabric tree project I saw online. I decided to make something similar by using assorted paper strips to create the tree and added foil garlands and a gold foil star. Read on for all the directions.

Joyful Christmas Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Joyful Christmas Card Layers & Strips

Fold a piece of 9 x 6.5″ white cardstock in half to create a 4.5 x 6.5″ card base. Place a 4.25 x 6.25″ rectangle Balsa cardstock in a Pine Branches embossing folder and emboss the design. Adhere both with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Next, for the patterned strips, choose an assortment of eight Christmas theme papers and cut a 0.75 inches wide strip from each one.

Create the Tree Shape

First, I need to create a tree template. On the paper liner side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White, draw a 3.375″ wide base + 5.25″ tall triangle (picture shows three triangles to make multiple cards). Cut along the lines.

To adhere the strips, start from the triangle base, partially peel the back liner and add a strip of paper. Continue to peel the liner and add more papers until the entire triangle is covered. Flip the triangle and trim off excess.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Micro

Create lines of lights with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: It works best to start E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser off edge of tree. Go slowly with even pressure.

To make it shine, cut a piece of red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, and press firmly over the lines with the color side facing you to transfer the color. Peel away to reveal the shine! Designer’s Tip: Try practicing to roll the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser on scrap paper first to give confidence in applying such a thin line.

To place the tree onto the card front, peel the liner from the back of tree along the bottom and align the tree on the card towards the left side. Press in place. Completely peel away the liner and press the tree in place.

Adding the Finishing Touches with the Star and Sentiment

Place a small star from the 3D Foam Stars on top of the tree. Repeat the foiling step with a piece of the gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. For the sentiment, stamp the greeting with black ink on a piece of white cardstock and heat emboss with a clear embossing powder. Cut with its coordinating die and adhere with 3D Foam Strips.
