Hi, Connie here with a Change is a Beautiful Thing card and a little mixed media thrown in. Use the fabulous 3D Foam Adhesives to create dimension and interest in what we all love on our cards!
Change is a Beautiful Thing Card Prep
There is some prep work before we can start assembling the card. I have a little step out to help with that.
1. Use a combination of Distress Oxide inks to create a background mix to the card. 2. Stamping and using stencils provide a great look – use your favorites! 3. Pick a stamp image as the focal point. Color and trim out. 4. Add more stamps, if needed. I added the Beatle bug.
Hi, Judy here today! I spent some time dyeing papers last week and was inspired to use a couple of pieces for this Hearts Inspire Card. The background was from an old book page, and the largest heart features foiled 3D Foam Hearts for a pop of dimension and sparkle. See my tutorial below…
Hearts Inspire Card Base and Card Panel
Fold in half a piece of 5.5 x 8.5 inches tan cardstock to make a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base. With a sponge applicator, apply Distress Black Ink along the edges.
Apply an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of a 3.25 x 4.375-inch piece of an old book page (make sure the book page fits the inner area of the scallop die). Rub a combination of Distress Vintage Photo and Black Soot ink around the edges. Stamp script randomly using Distress Archival Black Soot ink.
Next, peel the liner from the old book page and place it onto a piece of white cardstock, allowing space around the edges. Position the scallop die so the old book page is centered in the opening and die-cut a large scallop rectangle. This is much easier than trying to center the book page on a scallop rectangle after it’s cut out.
Take a piece of dyed paper large enough to cut a stitched heart die and place an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. behind it. Make sure to rub well to transfer adhesive and die-cut with the stitched heart die. Next, cut a large heart from white cardstock using a heart die, peel the liner from the dyed heart, and layer the two hearts together. Use a gold metallic pen to trace along the stitch line around the edge of the heart.
Sentiment Tag
Stamp the verse on white cardstock with Archival Black Soot ink and trim it to 0.75 x 2.5 inches. Use a sponge applicator and lightly rub Distress Black Soot ink around the edges.
Cut a 2.625-inch long tag from tan cardstock. The tag I used was not long enough so place the tag die on cardstock with the bottom edge of the tag die extending off the die-cutting plate so that it doesn’t cut. Run through the die-cutting machine and trim off to the desired size. Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the verse and fasten it on the tag. Tie three lengths of string (I used crochet thread) to the tag.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Hearts & Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets
Place three small hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts along one straight side edge of the heart (refer to the photo). Peel off the liner, and apply a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors on the heart color side facing you. Rub well to transfer the color, and remove the foil sheet to reveal the result. Optional: Use a cotton swab to dab a small amount of Distress Archival Black Soot ink along the edges of each heart.
Finishing Touches
Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the tag and heart. Remove the liners from the tag and attach it to the heart, as shown in the picture below. Peel off the liners from the back of the heart, position it on the card at an angle, and press in place. Trim ends of string.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Easter coming up I made this cute Happy Bunny Card. If you like to make a card without the traditional Happy Easter Quote, this is the card to make. And with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives, it’s super easy to assemble this card! Wanna join me?
Top Card Panel
The top card panel of this Happy Bunny card is all about layering. Start by punching a fence from brown cardstock. Then tear two strips from bright green cardstock.
Adhere the fence to the bottom of a pale blue card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Layer the two torn green strips to the bottom of the card panel and trim it to a rectangle card panel.
Bunny Fun
Stamp the bunny and two daisy images on white cardstock with black ink. I used a color layering bunny stamp: stamped the fur with soft brown ink, and colored with pencils for more depth. After coloring the daisies, fussy cut them all out using a combination of a fine-tip pair of scissors and a craft knife.
Hi, Erica here today to share a colorful Easter Bunny 12×12 Scrapbook Layout featuring the sweet new Bunny Hop collection and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I will show how to use cut files in a layout. Follow along with me!
Easter Bunny Egg Wreath
Cover the Egg Wreath with the Bunny Hop 6 x 6″ patterned paper pad and the Dual Tip Glue Pen. When covered, flip the cut file and place strips of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft on its back.
Place the Egg Wreath onto a piece of 10.75 x 10.75″ white textured cardstock and mat on an 11 x 11″ Petite Prints patterned paper. Lastly, adhere the matted page onto a 12 x 12″ May Flowers patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Time For Photos
Every holiday I like to take some silly photos with Snapchat filters! The bunny ears were perfect with this layout! Cut two photo strips with Bunny Hop patterned paper. Secure the photos with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, place them inside the Egg Wreath.
Don’t Forget A Title
For the title, I used a combination of a Chit Chat piece and the puffy alpha stickers. Double-stacked some Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft to the back of the word, BUNNY, for more dimension.
Finish the title with yellow puffy alpha stickers. Accent with the adorable bunny face die cut with Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. This is my favorite foam adhesive to use on my scrapbook layouts and it gives just the right amount of height!
After all the flowers were adhered down to the layout, I added smaller die cuts and stickers tucked in around the floral clusters. To finish off the layout I used the Bunny Hop puffy stickers and added them around the Egg Wreath cut file.
Hello, it’s me, Lara. Since the temperatures around me have been in the 80s/90s. I am in the mood to plant all the seeds I purchased over the winter, but it is still a little early. Inspired by this thought, I created a Seed Packet Card. Let me show you!
Seed Packet Card Template
I thought it would be a great idea to create these seed packets to organize my seeds. What a fun gift to make for anyone who enjoys gardening. Just put seeds in it and add to a little terra cotta pot with gloves or garden tools. etc.
Score a piece of 6 x 7.5″ white cardstock at 1.4375” and 4.875” with the 7.5″ side up. Next, flip the cardstock (making the 6″ side facing up) and score each end at 0.50″. Referring to the above image, trim off the 0.50″ scored sections on the top and bottom, slightly angled. You can use either the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ or the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. If you are sending this as a card I would say to use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.
Since I am a gardener and have a lot of seeds, I use these seed packets to hold my seeds instead of the original packaging (they don’t reseal). For my use, I assemble with the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ as they are more durable as I am opening and closing the packets, and taking it outside. But I don’t seal the tops.
Stamped Seed Packet Front
Let’s make the Seed Packets pretty! Stamp a flower image in the center on a piece of 3.0625 x 4.625” white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Watercolor it with several colors of pink.
Since I was making this to show as a card or journaling pocket, I created a 3.1875 x 4.75” white cardstock insert with a few lines in black pen. Other options are stamping, using stickers, die cuts, etc. to decorate but keep it flat so it can slide out of the packet with ease. Lastly, add a little bit of bling on the card front with pearls using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
I love how this turned out and I hope you enjoy creating your version of my Seed Packet Card Template!
Hi, Shannon here today! I love to add lots of dimension to my Plant Happiness Scrapbook Layout. I grabbed a bunch of products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Dare 2B Artzy, and Buttons Galore & More!
Plant Happiness Layout Ideas
I like to mat my layouts whenever I have enough patterned paper. This one I layered this one with one bold mat and a much thinner one. It adds the perfect amount of contrast. I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to make sure that my papers would stay right where I wanted them.
Create Embellishments
I spent some time using a stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy. I used permanent ink, clear embossing powder, and some watercolors to color-match my images to my patterned papers.
This was so fun to create! I was able to create embellishment clusters by fussy cutting, stamping, and water coloring. I finished them off with some cute embellishments from Buttons Galore & More!
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have such a fun little seasonal project to share with you. Here are all of the details on how to create this Hoppy Easter Gift Card Holder.
Hoppy Easter Card Base
First I took the Love Truck die set, and I cut out all of my layers from cardstock, foiled cardstock, and patterned paper. These are all of the pieces needed to create the Hoppy Easter Gift Card Holder.
Start by adhering all of the pieces to the base of the Gift Truck using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Hi, Emily here today! I’m very excited to share a super simple yet unique Peep Hole Card that will be sure to impress your loved ones! Featuring the 3D Foam Squares Micro, I am using it in two different ways; one where they are not seen, and the other where they are! Let’s dig into it!
What is a Peep Hole Card?
This type of card is called a Peep Hole Card, that’s what I best know it as! The trick is to pick your card base and die-cut the image out of just the front of your card. You want to make sure your card base is open so you aren’t cutting completely through your card. Then, you’ll use the part you die cut out to put on the inside of your card, where the hole is so you can see through to the front!
3D Foam Squares Micro Use #1
That’s where the 3D Foam Squares Micro comes into play! I knew I wanted to use the micro squares for my heart image so it would “pop” off the inside of my Peep Hole Card. The 3D Foam Squares Micro are SO handy when it comes to intricate die cuts such as this one. They are small enough to put behind the image so you can still add that little bit of dimension to your card.
This part was quite simple! This is such a fun and unique way to send a Peep Hole Card to someone you love. Now for the front of my card, I knew I wanted to add some sort of sentiment, so I die cut out a lovely saying that would span across the whole heart image on the front. I then adhered this on just the edges with the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, which provided enough space between the base of my heart and the heart.
3D Foam Squares Micro Use #2
From there I knew the outside needed just a little sparkle, so I decided to add some more of the 3D Foam Squares Micro White to the front of my Peep Hole Card. Did you know you can use these with some Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to add some shine? I felt this was the perfect touch for my card, adding some of the lavender and yellow foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to match the splatter pattern on my card base.
While a simple card indeed, it is a show stopper and something your loved ones would be sure to rave about! I have a full process video sharing the process into this beautiful Peep Hole Card!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here sharing a fun and sweet Happy Easter Scenery Card. Glitter and 3D Foam work so well together so why not put them together featuring the 3D Foam Easter Shapes? It’s super easy to create to come up with this cute Easter bunny card. I would love to share how I created my card. Shall we get started?
Easter Scenery Cloudy Card Panel
First trim a piece of white cardstock to a rectangle cardpanel. Then use a cloud stencil to create a cloudy background for the Happy Easter Card. Hold the stencil over the cardpanel and use an inkblending tool and soft blue ink to create a cloud- line. Then repeat untill the panel is fully covered with clouds.
Creating a Scenery
To create a scenery for the Happy Easter Card, die-cut trees from dark brown cardstock and grass borders from green cardstock.
Next adhere the elements onto the top card panel using the Dual Tip Glue Pen as your adhesive. It’s fine tip is perfect for precise adhering!
Let dry and cut of any parts sticking out of the card panel.
Making the Card Base
First adhere the scenery card panel onto a green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Make sure you leave space for adhering the text on the bottom. Then adhere onto a white card base.
3D Foam Bunny Fun
Now the 3D Foam fun starts… all you need is the 3D Foam Easter Shapes! Start by adhering the bunny and eggs onto the the card and leave the top liner on.
Then remove the liner of the bunny and sprinkle white glitter upon. Rub the glitter over the bunny and tap off any excess glitter. To create a dual color Easter egg I used a craft knife to cut the top liner in half and peeled of only half of the top liner, ten sprinkled glitter upon and used a different color glitter for the bottom part of the Easter egg.
Making the Card Base
First adhere the scenery card panel onto a green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Make sure you leave space for adhering the Happy Easter text on the bottom. Then adhere onto a white card base.
Rainbow Text
First adhere the Happy Easter text from the 3D Foam Easter Shapes onto the card. Then, to create a lovely rainbow effect for the Happy Easter Card I peeled of the “H” and sprinkled pink glitter upon. Next rubbed the glitter over the “H” for secure adhering. Now tap off the excess glitter. Repeat with the rest of the text and use different colors of glitter.
Finishing Touch
For a finishing touch I adhered a cute little satin bow and used Adhesive Dots Micro for invisible and stainless adhering. Voilá, your Happy Easter Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you Happy Easter crafting!
Hi, Connie here with a fun Good Time Mixed Media Card using 3D Foam Adhesives for the cut out die cuts. Dimension looks great on the card front! Makes everything pop!!
Good Time Mixed Media Background
To start this Good Time Mixed Media Card, you first need to create a background with rubber stamps, stencils, and your favorite ink. It is hard to mess this part up, just keep adding stamps (eclectic designs) until you smile!!!
I use Distress Oxide for my card backgrounds. Next stamp out your focal image and the small parts. In my case, it would be the elephant, hat, tie scooter, and glasses. Add color to the images and trim out.
