Smile, Say Cheese Layout

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello sweet friends! It’s Kristin here to share another fun layout. There’s nothing quite like capturing a magical moment at Walt Disney World—especially in front of Cinderella’s Castle! Today, I’m excited to share this 12×12 scrapbook layout titled Smile, Say Cheese Layout featuring a photo of my sister and me soaking in the magic together. This layout combines dimension and texture using some of my favorite products by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Smile, Say Cheese Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating Smile Say Cheese Layout Foundation

To begin, I selected papers and embellishments that are colorful and playful patterns that perfectly complements the joyful energy of our photo. I secured layers of patterned papers behind the photo shaker frame using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to create depth while keeping the design balanced and clean.

Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft was used to lift key elements off the page. Adding dimension is one of my favorite ways to bring a layout to life, and foam adhesive makes it effortless. By popping up layers and embellishments, I was able to create visual interest without overwhelming the design.

A Fun Shaker Element

The focal point of this layout is a handmade shaker embellishment by using a chipboard frame. First, I backed the frame with clear acetate and added a shaker mix filled with fun, colorful bits that match the theme. Build a well behind the frame with 3D Foam Strips – it ensures the shaker mix have room to shake!

Once sealed, I adhered my photo to the shaker and then to the page, using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. The result is a playful, interactive element that draws the eye to the photo and adds movement to the layout.

Add the Details

To enhance the magical feel, I incorporated a Mickey Dotz from Shimmerz Paints. This small accent added a pop of dimension and shine, tying the theme together. I scattered a few embellishments around the page to guide the viewer’s eye and maintain balance.

For the title, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of “Say Cheese” to make it stand out. I positioned it on the frame to anchor the design and reinforce the joyful moment captured.

Final Thoughts

Foam adhesive was used strategically throughout to create layers and dimension without bulk. This “Say Cheese” layout is a perfect example of how dimension and interactive elements can elevate your scrapbook pages. If you’re looking to add a bit of magic to your next project, try incorporating a shaker element and dimensional adhesive.

Lovely Flowers Card

Posted on March 29, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today… Wishing you a Lovely Day with this pretty Lovely Flowers Card. Lots of gold embossing including the frame made with 3D Foam Frames, gold on embossed background and flowers with gold stamping and centers made with 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. Giving you a wonderful mixed media vibe!

Lovely Flowers Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prepare Card Base

Form a 4.25 x 5.5 inch side fold card from 5.5 x 8.5 inch piece of cream cardstock.

Cut piece of khaki brown cardstock 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Place in Lattice embossing folder and pass through die cutting machine to emboss. Trim to 4 x 5.25 inches. Lightly rub Versamark ink pad along edges of embossed panel, cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Apply adhesive on back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to card front.

Gold Frame

Cut piece of textured cream cardstock 3.75 x 4.75 inches.

Take sheet of 3D Foam Frames and peel liners from 2nd and 3rd largest frames. Lay 3D Foam Frames sheet on work surface and place face down cardstock over it. Press cardstock to stick to frames which have liners removed. Gently pull 3D Foam Frames sheet away from cardstock so that 2 frames are left stuck to it. Cover frames with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Carefully trim away cardstock along edge of frame. Apply adhesive to back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten on card.

Flowers

Cut piece of brown cardstock 4 x 6 inches. Fasten Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to it and rub well with bone folder. Peel off liner and press coffee stained book page on it. Trim book page even with cardstock. (Designer Tip: An old book page is quite fragile. By fastening it to cardstock, it keeps the vintage charm and is sturdy enough to die cut)

Stamp 3 flowers and 4 leaves with Versamark ink. Cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Use coordinating die and die cutting machine to cut out each flower and leaves.

To color flowers and leaves, use water brush to pick up color from tip of Distress Watercolor Pencils. For flowers, use Victorian Velvet on large, Tea Dye on medium, and Chipped Sapphire on small. Color leaves with Shabby Shutters and add a touch of Ground Espresso. Rub each one gently with dry paper towel to remove any paint from gold embossing. While flowers and leaves are damp, curl petals and shape leaves. Allow to dry or use heat tool to dry.

Remove large circle from 3D Foam Circles Black Mix and place on center of small flower. Fill center of large flower with small circles from 3D Foam Circles Black Mix and put 3 small circles on medium flower. Peel liners from each flower center, cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool.

Fasten Flowers

Apply adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to center back of each flower and fasten in frame on card. Also fasten leaves with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser by applying adhesive just to base of leaf (part that is under flower).

Add Verse

Stamp verse on cream cardstock with black ink and cut apart between each word. Cut pieces of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to fit on back of each word. Peel liners from each one and fasten words on card

Sympathy Box Card

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’re having a great week and seeing some pretty Spring weather! Do you struggle with sympathy cards? Admittedly, they don’t come easy for me. I used an SVG cut file and transformed it from a winter-themed card into a sympathy box card. Of course, I used a few of my absolute favorite adhesives to put it together. Box cards are a great option because the recipient can display them as long as they’d like.

Sympathy Box Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the Pieces

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and an SVG cut file in my stash, I cut all the pieces for the sympathy box card. As noted above, this card was designed to be more of a wintery card with berries and such. To transform it into a sympathy card, I omitted some of the greenery and cut extra pieces of others. So it will be a ‘fluffy’ card!

Assemble the Crate Base

For texture, I ran the rectangular layers through my die cutting machine with a wood grain embossing folder. These were adhered with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser, along with the patterned paper layers.

Adhere the Cardinal & Greenery

Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser, I adhered the cardinal and greenery. Started with the first and second inserts.

Next I moved to the third insert and then the flap on the box card front. Just for a little extra stability, I affixed the flap to the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Complete the Sympathy Box Card

Time to adhere the inserts and close up the box. Also added a flower and twine bow to the front. Lastly, I added a stamped sentiment to the back which I popped up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Bright and Cheerful Birthday Shaker Card

Posted on March 25, 2026 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today sharing a Bright and Cheerful Birthday Shaker Card with you. It’s full of super fun dimensional elements with a shaker feature – perfect for anyone who loves to celebrate BIG + SHINY!

Bright and Cheerful Birthday Shaker Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Birthday Shaker

To create a shaker, I used the super handy 3D Foam Frames as the base. Some tiny heart and star sequins make for a simple, but super pretty backdrop for the overall card design. Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft allowed the remainder of the patterned panel to pop off the card base perfectly!

Embellish the Birthday Shaker Card Front

For a fun and festive scene, I used 3D Foam Trees and 3D Foam Stars covered with shimmering Metallic Transfer Foil in Celebrate Colors. I added a couple of Doodlebug Design bracket stickers to really draw the eye into the center of the card, as well.

The 3D Foam Pennants make the perfect celebratory topper for this design. Again, these are covered with the super shiny foil to really make the card extra fun. A bit of twine runs behind the pennants to bring it all together.

A super fun Happy Birthday message grounds this design. You can easily switch this up to a congratulations or other fun celebratory message that suits your recipient.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for making my time on this team so delightful! I hope you are inspired by this design and I can’t wait to see what you create!

Have a wonderful day,
Jennifer Ingle (aka Jingle)

Circled Thinking of You Card

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you like to make handmade cards? Teri here to show you how to make create some one-of-a-kind accents (Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique) with 3D Foam Shapes and Metallic Transfer Foil like this Circled Thinking of You Card. These accents will kick up your card designs to another level of fun! I’ll also show you how to make a super fun card!

Circled Thinking of You Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Circled Thinking of You Card Base

Start by making a card base. Then adhere strips of patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser onto it to make a background and set it aside.

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

Place a couple 3D Foam Circle Frames on a scrap of patterned paper. Then I took a piece of silver foil from the 3D Holiday Embellishment with Foil (leftover from another project) and placed on top of the foam circle frame (after I took the top liner off). Rub to transfer foil to the frames (color side facing you) and peel off the foil to reveal the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas. Cut the circles out and use them as accents on your card base.

Add Elements to the Circled Thinking of You Card Front

Decorate the card front with die-cut accents using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and a few 3D Foam Circles for dimensional interest. Next, stamp the sentiment or make one with die-cuts or stickers…I combined stamp + stickers 🙂

Make Faux Brads with Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique

Create a few faux brads around the card front with small 3D Foam Circles using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Simply repeat the foiling steps from above. So easy and no special tools – perfect for beginners or those who are short on time!

Finally, add a few stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card front and foil them with the same silver foil.

I hope you enjoyed learning about how to make your own one-of-a-kind accents with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Plus how to make today’s Circled Thinking of You Card. Let me know by leaving a comment if try any of today’s tips.

Happy Creating!

Simple Winter Card

Posted on March 21, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet and Simple Winter Card to share. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Simple Winter Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Simple Winter Card Front Layers

Make a 5×7 white cardstock card base and the patterned paper layers for the front of the Simple Winter Card. Adhere these layers to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Add the die cut sentiment piece to the bottom of the card front, again securing with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

Chipboard Focal Point

Sometimes I find that chipboard stickers don’t always stick. So I chose to add even a little more dimension by using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add the deer to the simple winter card. I also added a chipboard sticker to the sentiment piece.

Add Embellishments

Add a tag top to the top of the card front using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. This creates a little more dimension between pieces on this simple winter card. Add a burlap string bow to the tag piece. The final touches are to add a few more coordinating cardstock stickers to the card.

I hope my Simple Winter Card tutorial inspires you to dig through your stash and use them up for a wonderful card creation!

So Lucky Happy Layout

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hi friends! Ali here from FunAdventuresWithAli, and today I’m excited to share a festive So Lucky Happy Layout that celebrates one of my favorite spring holidays—St. Patrick’s Day! This page documents a fun outing with my friend Sheri, and it’s one of those memories that just makes me smile every time I look at the photos.

So Lucky Happy Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

So Lucky Happy Story

Sheri and I decided to celebrate by heading out for a Shamrock Shake at a cute little café. It was such a fun treat! Not only was the shake delicious, but they decorated it in the most festive way. It came topped with a sour rainbow strip, a green Rice Krispie treat, and even a gold coin. It was such a creative and playful presentation, and of course we had to snap a few photos before enjoying it. These little outings always make for the best scrapbook memories.

So Lucky Cut File

The focal point of this layout is a cute cut file that says “So Lucky.” I backed the main title with a piece of striped patterned paper to give it a bright and colorful base. For the shamrocks in the design, I used two different green patterned papers to add a little variety and dimension while still keeping the overall look cohesive. The adhesive I used for these steps is the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Dispenser. It does two things, hits the cut file (skipping over gaps) and papers can be pulled off to be repositioned again.

The Photo Placement

To highlight our photos, I created a collage using three pictures of Sheri and me dressed in our festive green outfits. And can we talk about those shamrock shades? They were too cute not to feature! To make the title stand out over the photo collage, I used my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. The foam adhesive adds the perfect amount of dimension and really helps the title pop off the page.

Finishing Off the Page

Add more pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. behind the larger green shamrock in the upper right corner of the photos to stand out as an additional design element. Layering dimension throughout the page helps guide the eye and gives the layout a little extra interest.

Use the 3D Foam Squares Micro White to pop up smaller elements such as the flowers, a green beer icon, a gold coin, and the word “Happy.” These elements helped me complete the title phrase “So Lucky Happy,” which perfectly sums up the feeling of the day.

Lastly, I sprinkled a few enamel dots around the page. Enamel dots add just the right amount of texture and color without overwhelming the design. They’re always one of my favorite finishing touches!

This layout makes a great project for beginner scrapbookers or anyone looking for a fun and quick page design. Using foam adhesives and layering a few simple embellishments can really elevate a layout without making it complicated. I hope everyone had a little good luck and enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year! It’s always fun to document these small moments and festive outings, especially when they include good friends, cute accessories, and yummy treats.

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting the blog today!

Loved This Day Layout

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Some photos instantly take you back to a moment. This 12×12 Loved This Day Layout captures one of those memories and celebrates sister memories, magic and one unforgettable moment in front of Cinderella’s Castle. ✨ For this magical scrapbook layout, I used adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L allowed me to confidently layer, lift, and sparkle every element without worrying about anything shifting over time.

Loved This Day Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Building the Foundation

Start by adhering my patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. It provides smooth, consistent coverage and keeps everything firmly in place.

After adding patterned papers behind the Loved This Day cut file with a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, I popped up the file with my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.. The foam gives the title the perfect lift and shadow, helping it to really stand out against the background papers.

Layering Patterned Papers for a Magical Look

The pastel tones and subtle prints enhance the fairy-tale feel without overpowering the photo. By layering patterned papers and popping select elements up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, I created depth that draws the eye straight to the photo of us “holding” Tinker Bell. ✨

Adding Sparkle and Dimension

Disney layouts need sparkle! ✨ Mouse rhinestones were added for a subtle magical shimmer using my Dual Tip Glue Pen. Next, I added stickers for playful accents and for extra security, I added E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser behind them. Finally, I chose a Mickey mouse shaker mix for the interactive texture to add to the shaker.

Make the shaker feature with the 3D Foam Strips. The 3D Foam Squares White Mix elevated some of the sticker elements. The added dimension makes the layout feel alive — almost like pixie dust is floating across the page. ✨

If you love creating dimensional scrapbook layouts with cut files, shaker elements, and layered embellishments, high-quality adhesive makes all the difference. Have you scrapped your favorite Disney World memory yet? I’d love to see how you use dimension and sparkle on your magical layouts!

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

Posted on March 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a colorful Glittered Stripe Thinking of You Card to bring some happiness to someone. This card is super easy to create so also suitable for beginner card makers.

Glittered Stripe Thinking of You Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love to share how I made it and also show you how I used the technique Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Oh…and it took me less than 30 minutes to create this card, so also a great idea for some last minute card making. Shall we get crafty?

Glittered Stripe Top Card Panel

Adhere a sheet of 3D Foam Strips Large (excluding the two smaller side strips) onto a piece of white cardstock and trim to the desired size.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, we will custom create the card panel with 3D Foam Strips Large + glitter. Peel of the liner of one strip and cover it glitter. Rub into the strip to secure and tap off the excess. Repeat the steps with other glitter colors.

Card Base

Adhere the top card panel of the Glittered Thinking of You Card onto a yellow panel and next onto a white card base. Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive.

Sentiment Banner

Adhere the Thinking of You banner onto a yellow piece of cardstock. Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive. I trimmed the yellow banner tot he right size using scissors. Then adhere upon the card using 3D Foam Squares White Small.

And voilá, the Glittered Stripe Thinking of You Card is ready! I Hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Friendship Fun Fold Card

Posted on March 15, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hi everyone! Happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! Leslie here with you today sharing a tutorial for a friendship fun fold card, a tall tented easel card. I used some fun papers, stamps and dies in my stash and I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

Cut Card Base & Layers

For the card base, cut a piece of colored cardstock at 4-1/4″ x 12″. With the long side across the top, score it at 5-1/2″ and 11″. Burnish the score lines with a bone folder. Adhere a 4-1/4″ x 3″ piece of cardstock to the top of the 1″ flap with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Be sure to butt the smaller piece up against the score line for a smooth fold.

For the inside of the card, cut a 4″ x 4-1/4″ panel from white cardstock.

Cut the patterned paper layers in the following sizes:
Back: 4″ x 4-1/4″
Bottom: 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
Embellishing strip: 1/2″ x 4″

Friendship Fun Fold Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble Layers

Using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere the patterned paper layers to the card base and inside sentiment panel.

Create Focal Elements

Stamp, color and cut the focal image. Now let’s make the banner! I will use the 3D Foam Pennants with the blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. For more support, I stuck the pennants to white cardstock and trimmed around the edges. Remove the liner from one pennant. Place the blue foil on top of the exposed adhesive (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal the color. Repeat the foiling on the remaining pennants.

This is the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique where you stretch your adhesive use to become embellishments! Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of white cardstock and die cut the letters G-I-R-L. Peel off the liner and place each letter on a foiled pennant. Apply Adhesive Lines to the top of the pennants and affix them to a length of white twine with knotted ends.

Build Front Panel

Use Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the pennants and place close to the top of the card front. Add fun tiny embellishments to the banner by adding lavender foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to 3D Foam Squares Micro Black. Second time using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. So easy!

Add sentiments and the focal image to the card front with a combination of the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. For a little interest, I randomly placed a three-dot triangle pattern on the card front panel with a gold pen.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Adhesive Lines

Third time’s charm… Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Adhesive Lines and diamond glitter! Apply a row of adhesive lines on the top of the sentiment panel and cover with glitter. Press to secure and tap off excess. Afterwards, stamp a sentiment on the panel.

Also add a row of adhesive lines on the top and bottom of the lower panel and cover with glitter. Next, add a row of Adhesive Lines to a strip of patterned paper layered on a strip of cardstock and glitter. Use 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind the layered strip and center on the bottom base. This will serve as a stopper for the card to stand to display.

Complete Friendship Fun Fold Card

Finally, adhere the inside sentiment panel to the inside of the card base with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. The card is now complete! Here are two additional angles to view.
