Woven Heart Card

Hi, Jingle here today and I am so excited to share this fun technique with you using felt to create a beautiful Woven Heart element on your card design!

Woven Heart Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

We are going to create the heart element on this card from felt. First, we need to die cut strips of felt and then thread the first green strip through the grey strips to get us started. You will want to secure that initial strip with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in so it doesn’t fall apart while you are working. I used a strip on both the front and back. Don’t worry about visibility, as this will be cut off later.

Woven Heart Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once you have woven the full block (ensure it is large enough for the shape you intend to cut from it), you will secure the entire thing by backing it with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. This will ensure that when you die cut the heart, your weaving will stay perfectly in place.

Woven Heart Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, you will die cut the heart from the woven felt. I used the Spellbinders Platinum Six with the following sandwich: Platform with Platform Top, shim, Cutting plate, adhesive sheet with felt attached, die, release backing from the adhesive sheet (this protects your top plate from getting very sticky adhesive on it), Cutting Plate. I then ran it through the die cut machine and it successfully cut through the felt and the adhesive sheet the first time! YAY!

Woven Heart Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now we can assemble the card. Trim a 4x 5 1/4 panel of white cardstock along with a sheet of woven paper the same size. Die cut a white circle from a striped embossed cardstock. Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner) to adhere the woven paper to the white panel and then use the same to adhere the circle to the panel, as well. Finally, remove the release paper from the back or the woven heart and adhere.

Now that this is assembled, die cut your sentiment from black and white cardstock. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere that to the felt heart.

Next, adhere the panel to a black panel, an finally, to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

This card is so full of texture! It is truly a wonderfully warm greeting to send to a friend or loved one. I hope you have enjoyed making it with me!

Sweet Punny Valentine Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a Sweet Punny Valentine Card to share. Here are all of the crafty details.

Sweet Punny Valentine Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Start with Layers

Cut the white cardstock card base, the red patterned paper card front, and a strip of pink patterned paper for an accent. Adhere the layers of the Punny Valentine Card together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

The Focal Point

Stamp the sentiment onto the precut floral heart piece with black ink. Adhere and pop up the element to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Sweet Punny Valentine Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp the Moo Deng image on white cardstock and color it using Zig Clean Color Markers and a waterbrush. Fussy cut the image and secured it to the card by stacking two layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Sweet Punny Valentine Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The final touch was to add a few more little die-cut pieces to the Punny Valentine Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Also, I added a little sparkle and shine with coordinating gems and pearls.

Shiny Modern Congratulations Card

Hi, everyone! Looking to congratulate someone on a job well done? Teri here to show you how to put together a Shiny Modern Congratulations Card to celebrate a co-worker, graduate, or even a couple on their anniversary! It’s easy to make a card like this with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and 3D Foam Adhesive!

Shiny Modern Congratulations Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Modern Congratulations Panel

On a white cardstock panel, crisscross two strips of Premium Double-Sided Adhesive 1/4in. to it. Apply foil to them by taking a piece of foil (color side facing you), rubbing to transfer the color, and peel off to reveal the color. Leave some of the adhesive exposed and add another foil color to it. Designer’s Tip: This is a great way to use any used foils…no waste!

Add another strip of adhesive and repeat the foiling steps until you’ve covered the panel with lots of shiny foil! To kick things up a notch and add interest, use some 3D Foam Strips and cover them with foil, too!

Assemble the Card

Cover a card base with patterned paper. Cut a rectangle out of a cardstock panel using a die or a paper trimmer. Set the rectangle aside for another project. Mount the frame onto your card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Shiny Modern Congratulations Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the foiled rectangle to the card. Before you adhere it down, add a couple of Creative Photo Corners Mix (I used the silver ones) to the frame.

Shiny Modern Congratulations Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Mount it to your card with 3D Foam Strips.

Shiny Modern Congratulations Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut some large 3D Foam Circles in half. Randomly add them to your card and foil them.

I hope you are inspired by today’s project to use Metallic Transfer Foil to make Shiny Modern Congratulations Cards of your own! Thanks so much for stopping by. See you next time.

Happy Creating!

Valentine Love Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. I made this Valentine Love Card with the ultimate romance day on February 14th. It’s a modern Clean and Simple (CAS) style card that is fairly easy to create. I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique to add an extra fun element. Join me!

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

Valentine Love Card Panel Background

To make the card panel, I inked a piece of white watercolor paper with a combination of pink, yellow, and orange ink. Next, sprinkle water and dab off with a cloth or kitchen towel. This will lift the ink to give a distressed look. Let it dry thoroughly or use a heat gun to speed up the drying process.

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

Add the Sentiment Design

After the watercolor background dried, stamp the word “LOVE” twice on the panel with black ink. Make sure to leave room in the middle to add more designs. Next, die-cut the word “LOVE” from black velvet cardstock. Secure the letters to the card panel with 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to pop up and give interest to the Valentine Love Card. You can use 3D Foam Strips (a width of 1/8 inch) but I had the 3D Foam Squares Black Mix in my stash so I used it. First, I cut into small stripes with a craft knife before adding them behind the die-cut letters.

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

For a pop of bold color, I wanted to add the red velvet hearts. So I secured them with Adhesive Dots Medium to the card panel.

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

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Hearts and Foil

For a fun finishing touch on my Valentine Love Card, I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Randomly roll some E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser onto the card panel. Designer’s Tip: Use a needle or tweezers to pick up and precisely place the hearts. Once you have your desired design, cover the copper glitter on top of the heart, and rub it into the heart to secure. Tap off the excess.

Assemble to the Card Base

Trim the top card panel to the desired size and mat on a piece of red cardstock. Then adhere to a white cardbase using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. And Voilá, Your Valentine Love Card is ready!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a Lovely Valentine’s Day crafting

Magic of Winter Layout

Hi, Ali here today!  I’m excited to share a winter-themed Magic of Winter Layout featuring the amazing E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. This adhesive is perfect for securing all those layers and helps create a beautifully dimensional layout without adding extra bulk. 

Magic of Winter Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Magic of Winter Layout Background

For this project, I used the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Fresh Snow collection. The “First Snow” paper was a fantastic foundation for that layering effect, but I wanted to enhance the depth with a chipboard frame. To attach my framed photo to the paper, I used a Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft for added dimension. 

Magic of Winter Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Design Details

I then layered more ephemera both underneath and on top of the frame using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft, and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. To finish off the look, I sprinkled some enamel dots around the frame and added some fun word sayings to my page.

I love the peace of mind that comes with using this adhesive…everything will stay securely in place!

Love Grid Valentine’s Page

Hi, Lara here, and today I have a great idea to put a small(?) dent in your paper stash. Work ahead to document your Valentine’s event with a Love Grid Valentine’s Page. Although some spacings aren’t perfect, I love how this page turned out. Most people don’t notice but I do…the struggles of a perfectionist. LOL!

Love Grid Valentine's Page by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Love Grid Design

Using a 2-inch square punch, I punched out a whole bunch of squares from multiple patterned papers. Next, I laid out the squares in a grid pattern on a 12 x 12-inch red cardstock. After determining my desired look, I adhere them with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Love Grid Valentine's Page by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Final Touches

Grab a few die-cut shapes that would be perfect with the theme, in this case, I chose a lacey doily and some delicate floral motifs. I adhered them with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Add the sentiment strip using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I drew lines on white cardstock for a photo placeholder and journal spot. I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the gold half pearls.

Adhesives Used

Here are the adhesives used to assemble the Love Grid Valentine’s Page. Using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser was a nice surprise, I haven’t used it before and it rolls so nicely!

Try this Love Grid Valentine’s Page design for your next page idea. It’s a great way to use up paper scraps in your stash 🙂

Valentine Heart Collage Card

Hi, Judy here today! I can hardly believe it’s the end of January already! That means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I put together this Valentine Heart Collage Card. Pretty Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, and 3D Foam Hearts really make this card shine!

Valentine Heart Collage Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut Papers for the Heart Collage Card

Valentine Heart Collage Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

From white cardstock, cut these pieces:

  • 6.25 x 9.5 inches, score and fold to form a 4.75 x 6.25 inch card
  • 4.75 x 6 inches, embossed with an embossing folder and die-cutting machine, and then trimmed to 4.375 x 5.75 inches
  • 1.875 x 2 inches for the greeting.

Cut these pieces from black cardstock:

  • 4.75 x 6 inches, use postage collage cover die with die-cutting machine to cut collage frame from it
  • 4.5 x 5.875 inches mat
  • 2 x 2.125 inches for the greeting mat.

Assemble the Heart Collage Frame

On the back side of the postage collage frame, apply 3D Foam Strips. Peel liners and attach the collage frame over the embossed panel. Use the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back and secure it to the black mat. Then apply adhesive to the back and place it on the card front.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and 3D Foam Hearts

Take small and medium hearts from 3D Foam Hearts and randomly place them in all outer openings of the collage frame (not the center). Peel the liner from one heart and cover it with magenta or purple foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Make sure the color is facing you. Continue to peel the liners from the hearts, alternating magenta and purple foils to cover all hearts.

Create the Greeting

Stamp greeting with black ink on white cardstock. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back and attach it to the black mat. Then roll the adhesive along the back edges and secure it over the center of the collage on the card front. Place a small heart from 3D Foam Hearts on the greeting, peel the liner, and apply the foil.

Furever Friend Gift Tags

Hi, everyone! Looking for a simple gift to give to your besties? Teri here to show you how to make a super cute gift tag, Furever Friend Gift Tags, to tie onto a tube of candy!

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These tags are a great way to add a personal touch to a small gift of sweetness! They are great for Valentine’s Day or any other day during the year when you just want to give your friends an extra reason to smile!

Make the Tag Base and Frame

Start by cutting a large rectangle from cardstock and patterned paper. Make a frame to place on top of the large rectangles by cutting another rectangle and a smaller one out of it.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stack and adhere the solid rectangles together. If you want your tag to be sturdier, cut a couple more rectangles from cardstock and add them to your stack.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp, color and die-cut a couple of small images to use on your tag. Set them aside. Set your frame on your rectangle stack so part of it is exposed. Place your images on it for placement. Do not adhere them! Stamp a sentiment on your stacked rectangle so it can be seen through the frame’s opening.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Generously apply Crafty Foam Tape to the back of your frame. Don’t be shy! Cut it into smaller pieces if you need to. Adhere your frame to your stacked rectangle.

Decorate Your Tag

Take your images and arrange them so they can go across your frame opening. Flip them over. Apply E-Z Runner® Petite Dots Refillable to them to hold them together. Add small pieces of foam tape where the images will not touch your frame. Adhere your images to your tag.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pump up your design’s cute factor by adding a couple of 3D Foam Hearts. Apply foil to them. I find it’s best to set your foil down (pretty side up) on your foam shapes one shape at a time. Firmly burnish your Metallic Transfer Foil onto the shape until the shape is completely covered with foil. Miss a spot? That’s OK. Set the foil back on the shape and apply more foil.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use a hole punch to poke a hole in the top of your rectangles, turning them into a tag. Wrap jute around a tube of candy. Add your tag. If your tag is not hanging as you want it to, add a small square of Crafty Foam Tape White to the bottom of it.

Furever Friend Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Few Closing Words and Suggestions for Changing the Design

I hope you are inspired by today’s tutorial to make a few of these to give your friends. Remember, you can save time by changing up the design! Rather than placing foam tape under your stamped images, just adhere them to your tag with a flat adhesive like the E-Z Runner® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Consider using small embellishments, like sequins and Adhesive Dots Micro, rather than using 3D Foam Shapes.

Dotted Floral Hello Card

Hello, Jingle here today! I have a fun technique to share with this Dotted Floral Hello Card that is super easy to do and gives such interesting results featuring the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Let’s dive in!

Dotted Floral Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Dotted Floral Card Panel

This is a clean and simple (CAS) design, sure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! I began by ink-blending the edge of the card panel with some gorgeous colors to create a border.

Dotted Floral Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with E-Z Runner Petite Dots Permanent and Foil

Stamped the black floral image over the inked background. Next, apply my E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the flower. I did each section at a time so I could foil different gorgeous Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to each section. Simply take a piece of lavender foil with the color side facing you and rub over the adhesive to transfer the color. Repeat the foiling steps with the green foil to the stem and leaves.

Dotted Floral Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Don’t you just love how the foil offers a bit of shine and color? Plus a bonus of a ton of visual texture, making it a super interesting way to ‘color’ your image?!

Dotted Floral Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, I added the Dotted Floral Card Panel to my card base using my trusty Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. for some pop. Lastly, add a simple stamped and die-cut sentiment with the 3D Foam Strips for extra dimension. I hope you try this out! It doesn’t take long to create a gorgeous and interesting card!

Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout

Documenting social media posts and my son’s trip to Japan inspired my Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout today. Hi, Margie here, and I’d like to share some out-of-the-box ideas with you. Maybe you can use them in your next layout.

Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Solo Trip Layout Base

Fussy cut out the inside of the airplane window with detailed scissors. Place the 8 x 10 in. photo collage of my son’s social media posts behind the opening and secure it with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft.

Using the same Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I matted a small photo with patterned paper, and later, a piece of 12 x 12 in. patterned paper to finish.

Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creative Photo Corner Accents

I cut a row of Creative Photo Corners Silver to create a unique accent and applied a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. on the front. Peel off the top liner and place it facing down to the back of the layout panel. I centered a photo on the front side of the paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. On the lower right corner, I added some to the back of the photo mat before adhering it to the page.

Embellish a Sticker Square

Split two sticker squares to make one square. Designer’s Note: I used a 3D foam leftover liner to help with placement. I added a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. and foiled with a piece of platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to cover the edges. Remove the top liner, place the foil on top (color side facing you), and gently rub to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the shine!

Creative Photo Corner Border

I layered the foiled border by linking cut Creative Photo Corners Silver for texture. Simply cut off the black liner and tuck the corners into each other to form a line. Continue until you get the length of the sticker square. Since it has adhesive on the back just place it on top of the foiled border. Also, I added a row in the upper right corner where I’ll add a title later.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and Stamps

Cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White just enough for your stamp images. With a piece of platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Remove a top liner, place the foil on top (color side facing you), and gently rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal a shiny accent! Reapply foil in missed areas.

I thought I would try and stamp on foil…and it worked out! Use ink like Staz-On to keep the image on the slick surface. To get a good image, I stamped twice (my ink pad might be a little dry). Give it a few moments to dry before die-cutting.

In case you were wondering, I did a heat embossing on a scrap piece. The foam doesn’t lose its shape, but the foil gives a matte or soft textured background and dries the ink. Hope you can see from the image below…it’s hard to photograph.

Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Solo Trip Layout

After die-cutting the compass, remove the liner to place it on the sticker square cluster. Next, place the square in the upper left corner of the layout. Next, stamp and die-cut the geo marker like the compass. Add it to the location in the lower right corner photo

Die-cut the word, “SOLO”, with patterned paper and pop them up with the 3D Foam Strips in White on the upper right corner of the layout. Die-cut the word “TRIP” with patterned paper and adhere it with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. When you roll the adhesive over the letter, it hits only the back of the letters. If the word is crooked, you can always peel it off, straighten it out and it stays on! I’ve done this three times – lol! Love this adhesive…you have the right to change your mind….er, design! HAHAHAHA!!

What a fun event to document for my son…his first business trip and a week with my family all in Japan! I hope my Solo Trip Layout inspires you to document a trip – business or pleasure!
