Butterfly Note Card

Hi, Judy here today! I put together this pretty Butterfly Note Card with a collage stamp image painted with watercolors. I stamped a second butterfly separately, cut it out and fastened it with 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to create dimension. The word butterfly also has slight dimension from Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Stamp Image

Cut a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper to 4.25 x 6 inches and a scrap piece about 2 x 3 inches. Stamp the butterfly collage stamp with black ink on the smooth side of large watercolor paper towards the left edge. Below it, stamp “Garden” and its definition stamp towards the lower right. On the smooth side of the smaller piece, stamp just the butterfly and word area of the collage stamp. Then heat set ink.

Paint with Watercolor

Use watercolor paints to color the image and background on the larger piece. But leave the butterfly unpainted. On the smaller piece, watercolor the butterfly and the “butterfly.” Then cut out the butterfly and cut around the “butterfly.”

Assemble the Card Front Layers

Trim the watercolor piece to 3.875 inches wide. Tear off about 0.5 inches of the bottom and tear a slight angle on the right top corner. Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to adhere the watercolor piece to a 4 x 6-inch white cardstock mat. Next, tear the edges of the white cardstock close to the torn edges of the watercolor piece.

Cut Saw Grass cardstock to 6.25 x 9 inches, score and form 4.5 x 6.25 inch side fold card. Adhere the matted watercolor piece to the card base with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Add Butterfly and Word

Slightly bend butterfly wings near butterfly body and curl wings slightly. Cut a large foam square from 3D Foam Squares White Mix diagonally in half and place each half on back of butterfly wings. Next cut a narrow strip from a large square of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and place it on back of butterfly body.

Mixed Media 100% Unique Card

Do you have a drawer full of stencils? I decided to grab one of my favorites to create this Mixed Media 100% Unique Card with some shimmery ink. Hi, Margie here today! Let me show you my process.

Mixed Media 100% Unique Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mixed Media 100% Unique Card Front

Grab an A2-size (5.5 x 4.25-inch) top-fold white cardstock card base and a dotted stencil. Use the shimmer ink. I love this ink color because it has movement (changes color from a dark color to gold).

Mixed Media 100% Unique Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Designer’s Tip: Use the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to secure your stencil down when done, simply rub off the dots.

Assemble the 100% Unique Card

Die-cut three small postage-edge rectangles in patterned papers. Center and put them three in a row with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I punched out a sentiment from the same paper pad and popped it up with several 3D Foam Squares White Small. Place it on the lower center of the postage rectangles.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

Instead of using sequins, gems or enamal dots, I use the 3D Foam Circles White Mix as accents. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I placed several small 3D Foam Circles at each side of the sentiment.

Mixed Media 100% Unique Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, remove the top liner and place a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors with the color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Rub the foil to transfer the color to the circles. Done!

I hope you enjoyed this Mixed Media 100% Unique Card Tutorial. Give these tips a try!

Foiled Background Hello Card

Hi, Jingle here today! I have a fun way to create a background that really shines in my Foiled Background Hello Card.

Foiled Background Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I love finding new ways to use my Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Variety Colors in new and interesting ways. When I pulled out this stamp set to create a card, I wanted to find a way to use the cool background stamp (the sort of blob shape) with foil.

Foiled Background Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Adhesive Sheets

I stamped the image using a permanent ink onto the back of one sheet from the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. packet. I carefully cut around the image, leaving the backing papers in place. Once trimmed, I removed the backing and placed the image onto the card. Next, remove the other backing to place the foil (color side facing you) to the adhesive. Gently smooth it out to transfer the color and then remove to reveal a really cool, shiny background image! Stamp the splatter around the foil to complete the look.

Add Your Focal Image

Let’s add those florals and a perfect sentiment on this gorgeous background! Place a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small White behind a piece of white cardstock. Stamp your floral image onto the cardstock and die-cut with its matching die. Adhere it over the foiled element. Love how it gives the entire shape dimension and keeps those narrow bits stable even when mailed.

Foiled Background Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, die cut your sentiment, adhering the white ‘hello’ to the black shadow using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. I find this to be great for small pieces with detail like letters. Adhere the sentiment using 3D Foam Squares Black Small.

Completing the Card

Finally, you want to add your beautiful card panel to the card base.

Foiled Background Hello Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Because this is white on white, I chose Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft to pop up the panel, providing a minimalist dimension that looks fantastic!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to create!

So Proud of You Card

Hi, everyone! Like to make cards with lots of texture? Teri here to show you how to create my So Proud of You Card filled with flock and 3D Foam Shapes!

So Proud of You Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Proud of You Card Background

Use markers to randomly scribble stripes on a piece of white cardstock. It doesn’t have to look perfect. Set it aside. Designer’s Tip: Save time by using a piece of patterned paper instead.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with a 3D Foam Shape Sheet

Pick a sheet 3D Foam Shapes that has a negative frame. I’m using 3D Foam Stars. Remove the backing sheet and place it on the striped paper. Be sure to press it firmly down. If you have any shapes left in the foam sheet, use a piercing tool, pushpin or a craft knife to remove them.

Add some smaller 3D Foam Shapes to your design. Next, remove the paper from the foam adhesive and cover with flock. Sometimes it’s helpful to rub a little bit of wax paper over the flock to secure coverage.

Add Finishing Details

Trim your panel to fit onto a card base. Center a small shape, apply flock, and pierce two holes through your panel. Tread string through and tie a bow, using an Adhesive Dot Small to keep it in place.

So Proud of You Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Complete the Card

Stamp a sentiment onto a strip of cardstock. Add it to your flocked panel with the Adhesive Dot Small, and then mount the panel onto a card using the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. Use a marker to add tiny piecing marks around the edges of your foam panel. This will help make it stand out.

So Proud of You Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lastly, embellish with a few sequins or gems. I find it easiest to apply Adhesive Dots Micro onto my projects first, and then add the embellishments to them.

I hope today’s So Proud of You Card tutorial is something you might want to try! Let me know if you do!

Happy Creating!

Summer Happiness Layout

Hi there, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here. I’m so excited to share a fun summer scrapbook layout I recently created featuring my absolute favorite adhesive, the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser!

Summer Happiness Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Back Story on the Summer Happiness Layout

This layout documents the first time April and I experienced Pizza on the Farm. Let me tell you, it was delicious! I tried the Big Dill pizza (yes, dill!), and instantly fell in love. We sat on the lawn, enjoyed our drinks, shared laughs, devoured our pizza, and just soaked in the amazing farm atmosphere. We finished the evening with the most delicious homemade ice cream—made completely from scratch!

Summer Happiness Background

To document this special summer outing, I used the Simple Vintage Linen Market collection from Simple Stories. Adhered strips of my favorite patterned papers right down the center of my page. Then added hand stitching to each strip for a little extra texture and charm.

To make my embellishments pop, I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. They gave interest to my butterflies, flowers, and even my “summer” title! The dimension makes the page feel like it’s coming to life. Almost like you’re right there with us on the farm.

If you get the chance to attend one of these fun summer experiences, I highly recommend it! Don’t forget to document it using my favorite adhesive tools! These little memories are worth preserving for years to come.

Happy crafting and happy summer! ☀️🌻
xo,

Geometric Photo Corner Design Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a fun and unique design! I’m sharing this Geometric Photo Corner Design Card. Yes, the pattern on this card is made with just Creative Photo Corners Gold!

Geometric Photo Corner Design Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And…it’s really fairly simple to create. I would love to tell you how I made my card! Hope you will join me in creating it.

Geometric Photo Corner Design

Let’s start with creating the geometrical squares. As a temporary base, I used a leftover liner sheet from a Creative Photo Corners Gold. You can easily remove the Creative Photo Corners Gold squares without them sticking to the sheet. Simply adhere the Creative Photo Corners Gold as shown in the picture in the four steps below.

Geometric Photo Corner Design Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For my Geometric Photo Corner Design Card, you will need to create a total of 12 geometrical squares.

Assemble the Card Layers

For the top panel of the Geometric Photo Corner Design Card, use a piece of red cardstock. Adhere the Creative Photo Corners Gold squares you created onto the card panel as shown in the picture below. Then mat the panel to a black cardstock and then on a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Geometric Photo Corner Design Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To finish, center the rhinestones on each square center with Adhesive Dots Medium. And voilá, your Geometric Photo Corner Design Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Playing Card Banner

One of my favorite ways to create my projects is to use 3D Foam Creative Sheets and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sets. If you are a die-cutting crafter and you like shine and dimension, this Playing Card Banner project is for YOU! Hi, Margie here today! I am featuring a Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique to make it happen.

GIVEAWAY ALERT! We are featured on Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine’s Partner Appreciation today (8/15)! Read at the end of the post for details.

A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to attend a trade-only event. Since the location was in Las Vegas, Nevada, I thought it would be SUPER FUN to create the company banner with a playing card theme (think Poker!).

Playing Card Banner by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Playing Card Banner Foundation

Cut a combination of 4.5 x 6-inch black and (mostly) white cardstock panels, a little larger than the Deluxe Deck Press Plate, and it’s easier to trim. Rather than letterpress the panels, I decided to foil them because we are talking about Vegas! LOL! Follow the directions on your hot plate foiling machine (I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Machine). Couldn’t make up my mind so I foiled a combination of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors.

Playing Card Banner by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Display it with Letters

For shiny and dimensional letters, I first die-cut alpha letters with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. Before placement of letters and accents, determine your banner panel designs…what colors go where. Then secure your letters and remove each top liner to place foils from a combination of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors.

Playing Card Banner by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With the color side facing you, put the foil down over the exposed adhesive and gently rub to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the completed letter! Repeat the foiling step until done. Reapply foil in missed areas.

Try Your Hand with the Details

Die-cut the Q letter, heart, Queen, Joker, and layered hearts with various and appropriate color cardstock. I assembled them with the Dual Tip Glue Pen…loved how they turned out! Next, adhere them with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser for strong adhesion on a slick surface. For smaller accents, I used the Adhesive Dots Small and the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Playing Card Banner by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

On the back of each panel, I cut two 0.75 x 2.5-inch strips of white cardstock to make a loop to thread a gold cord through the panel. I secured them with E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then, using six clear suction cups with hooks, I used the window behind our table to help decorate our booth. Sorry about the picture below…it was against the light.

I hope my Playing Card Banner project inspires you to create a unique and fun-themed banner!

Foiled Get Well Card

Hi, Jingle here today, and I have a fun technique to share using our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors! You’ll be wanting to grab your supplies and make your own! Let’s get started…

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foiled Get Well Card with Sticky Embossing Powder

Today I am going to share a tutorial on how to use sticky embossing powder to foil your stamped images!

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To begin, you will need a packet of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors along with Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder and the stamp set you intend to use. I chose a line drawn leaf that stands well on its own.

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp your image with embossing ink and sprinkle the powder over the image. Heat the powder to melt completely.

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, lay your foil over the image and press down across the embossed image. Because the embossing powder is sticky, your foil will stick to it nicely! You may need to add a little heat to ensure you have full coverage. Then, gently peel the foil to reveal your foiled image!

Adding the Sentiment

Once you have your focal point image foiled, you can work on bringing together the rest of the design, beginning with the sentiment. To create a dimensional sentiment, you will want to add a cut sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White to some black cardstock. Next, you will die cut the sentiment, making it ready to adhere! Be sure to pop out all of those little pieces between the letters before removing the release paper, as it makes your life much easier.

While still IN the die, adhere the sentiment in place. Gently remove the die, ensuring that the sentiment remains perfectly aligned. This is a great tip when working with the foam sheets!

Completing the Design

Stamping a few accent ‘splatters’ onto the card gives it a finished look.

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

When you are happy with the splatters, it is time to mount a black panel on your card base for matting. I like to use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser for this to get a strong hold.

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To add some subtle dimension (1/32″ height – half of 1/16″) to the finished look, use the Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to adhere the stamped panel to the card.

Foiled Get Well Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And there you have it! A really cool finished Foiled Get Well Card design that is bound to wow your recipient!

Color Block Slimline Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and easy Color Block Slimline Card to share. Here are all of the details.

Color Block Slimline Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

First, I chose the strip of patterned paper with these printed tags. I cut out the section of colours I wanted to use, and cut out the tag holes. Cut a mat from a piece of navy cardstock and a card base from white cardstock.

Color Block Slimline Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the card base and the navy cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then add the tag layer to the color block slimline card using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Color Block Slimline Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, I chose the sticker sentiment and added it to the pink section of the card front. There were die-cut pieces that matched the color sections. So I secured them to the Color Block Slimline Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

The final touches to the card were the coordinating burlap string bows to each of the tags.

Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo

Hi, friends! Do you like to make cards with a lot of glitz? Teri here to show a fun and easy way to make cards in a snap with Metallic Transfer Foil (I used the ones from the 3D Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil) and some of the 3D Foam Shapes (using 3D Foam Hearts and 3D Foam Stars)! Let’s share my process with this Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo!

Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep the Card Panel

You’ll need the leftover negative piece from a sheet of 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Hearts. Note that not all 3D Foam Shapes have negative pieces. We’ll be creating a foiled background panel with it.

Remove the back liner of the negative foam sheet and place it on a piece of white cardstock. Trim the foam to fit the panel.

Accent with Creative Photo Corners

To make the panel stand out and create a unique accent, place a Creative Photo Corner Black under two opposite corners as pictured. I recommend placing a little adhesive (like the Adhesive Dots Small) on the back of the panel and adding the corners to it. Just let a little bit of the corners show. Then adhere the panel to a card base with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser.

Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Shapes

I decided to apply a trio of foil colors (red, blue, and green) from the 3D Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil. It’s easiest to start with one color and switch to another color, rather than applying all colors of foil at once.

Simply remove the top release paper from your negative sheet…just tear off a section that you want to foil. Place the foil (color side facing you) over the exposed adhesive, gently rub to transfer the color, and peel off to reveal the foil. Reapply foil in missed areas. Repeat the foiling steps on the rest of the panel.

Make a Sentiment

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Using the sentiment strip as a guide, hold it to your card and determine placement. Set it aside. Set an Adhesive Dot Small on the panel, bunch up a piece of metallic gold thread, and place it on top of the adhesive dot.

Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add 3D Foam Strips on the back of the sentiment strip and set it on the card. But make sure to stack foam strips based on where there are openings in your foiled panel.

Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add Sequins

Complete your card by adding a few gems or sequins to it with Adhesive Dots Small. If the dots are a bit too big, roll them up with your fingers to decrease in size – it might give it a little pop.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Easy Friendship Foil Card Duo tutorial! This is a quick technique, but it is also a great way to use any negative pieces of 3D Foam Sheets you have on hand.

Happy Creating!
