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.

Snowglobe Shaker Card

Posted on November 28, 2025 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody – happy Friday to you! Are you a fan of shaker cards? Which do you like more… to make them or to receive them? For me, a big bold YES to all of the above, lol! I’m a huge fan and I like to make them as much as I like receiving them! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for creating a Winter/Christmas-themed snowglobe shaker card in non-traditional pastel colors. I used Trinity Stamps dies/stamps and of course, lots of amazing Scrapbook Adhesives products to put it all together! So let’s make a shaker card!

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

Snowglobe Base & Layers

WHITE HEAVYWEIGHT CARDSTOCK:
Card base: 5-1/4″ x 10-1/2″, scored at 5-1/4

PATTERNED PAPER:
Front layering panel (pastel plaid): 5-1/8″ x 5-1/8″
Bottom strip (pink chevron stripe): 1-1/2″ x 5-1/8″
Inside embellishing strip (pastel plaid): 5/8″ x 4-5/8″

PINK CARDSTOCK:
inside layering panel: 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″

WHITE CARDSTOCK:
Inside layering panel: 4-3/4″ x 4-3/4″

Snowglobe Pieces

Die cut all the snowglobe pieces from white cardstock using the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card dies.
–Cut two stand pieces and trim the top and bottom off the second one to add as a band with the sentiment.
–Also cut five of the main snowglobe frame and hang onto three of the snowglobe center pieces. They are not all shown in the photo below.
–Next, cut the snowflake background and two snowbanks (one slightly higher than the other) from those extra pieces.
–Use a blending brush to apply very light blue ink to the background and both snowbank pieces.
–Finally, glue two of the frames together and set aside. Glue two more frames together and set them aside. You’ll have one frame left over.

Adhere the Layers

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere the pastel plaid panel to the front of the card base. Add the pink chevron stripe across the bottom. Similarly, adhere the pastel plaid embellishing strip to the white inside layering panel, then adhere that to the pink cardstock panel.

Build Scene Snowglobe Shaker Card Scene

Firstly, adhere the single frame to the card front using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Secondly, glue the background and both snowbanks flat inside the frame, once again using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Don’t use foam inside the shaker because the shaker bits will get hung up.

Stamp the gnomes and trees from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set in black ink on white cardstock. Color them, fussy cut them, and adhere them flat to the background using the Dual Tip Glue Pen as well.

Assemble Shaker

Cut a piece of acetate from packaging for the shaker front. I’ve always used stiff acetate made for shakers but decided to try packaging this time. I actually prefer this method as it’s easier to work with and it’s easier to photograph. Use the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of one of the frame sections and the front of the other frame section. Sandwich the acetate between the frame pieces and press together to adhere.

Color the whole stand piece with a brown marker and adhere the white band using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Additionally, stamp a sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set in black ink, centering it on the band, and glue the stand to the frame.

Glue the reflection piece to the right side, on top of the acetate. using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Now it’s time to add the 3D Foam Strips around the globe frame. In addition, use Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. at the bottom behind the stand portion. Lay some shaker bits inside the snowglobe. I used iridescent snowflakes that pulled in all the colors in my paper. Pull the release paper off the strips and tape, and secure the frame in place.

Complete Snowglobe Shaker Card

Employ the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using 3D Foam Circles White Mix and pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. The smaller circles fit perfectly on both sides of the sentiment. When applying the foil on the foam circles, remember to face the coloring to you and rub the foil to transfer the color.

Lastly, stamp a sentiment (from the same Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set) in black ink on the inside sentiment panel. Once again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere it to the card base. That’s it… easy peasy! This fun snowglobe shaker card is complete!

Thanks so much for visiting – we’ll see you next time!

Paper Pumpkin Decor

Posted on November 25, 2025 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi friends, Jingle here with you today to share a super fun decor project perfect for your fall table settings! This little Paper Pumpkin Decor is so much fun to create and you can change it up to create several with each one having it’s own fun design!

Paper Pumpkin Decor by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s get started! To begin, die cut 16 circles from patterned paper. I used 8 each of two different designs. The size you choose will determine the size of your pumpkin. Mine are just under 4 inches.

Next, you need to fold each circle exactly in half, like a taco, with the side you want showing on the inside of your ‘taco’.

Assembling the Pumpkin

Now we can begin putting the pumpkin together. Using a very strong adhesive, I chose Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in because I knew I could depend on it to hold the entire project together nicely, we are going to adhere the back of one ‘taco’ to the back of the other design as shown in the photo below.

Be sure to carefully align your half circles to maintain the spherical shape when it is completed.

Adhere all of your ‘tacos’ until the final one. With that one, you will adhere it directly to the two final exposed ‘wrong sides’ in your pumpkin. You should have a completed sphere as shown below. If you would like a fuller pumpkin or a simpler one, you may adjust the number of circles used to create different looks.

Adding the Stem and Decor

Now that the pumpkin is complete let’s add the stem and a bit of fun decoration to it!

To create the stem, cut a piece of brown paper lunch bag and crumple into a stem like shape.

Position the stem in the hole at the top of the pumpkin. this is pretty easy to do, so you can tuck it in there and adjust to the height and look you want. Then you want to use the Dual Tip Glue Pen in the hole around the stem to ensure it stays in place.

Select three die cut pieces to accent the top of the pumpkin. Using 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White, adhere the leaf pieces to the tag. This will keep the whole arrangement in place. Next, you will tie the tag to the stem with a length of faux leather ribbon.

Take a few moments to shape and position your faux leather where you want it and there you have it! Your beautiful completed decor piece!

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you create a pumpkin or two for your own table! This is a great one to adapt for the kiddos, too. My six year old made one using only 8 circles and he loved the process. Make it a family craft night and show us what you made!

Have a great day,
Jennifer Ingle (aka Jingle)

Foiled Holiday Circle Gift Tags

Posted on November 23, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Christmas will be here before you know it! Teri here to help you get in the mood by showing you how to make some fun Foiled Holiday Circle Gift Tags with foil and 3D Foam Shapes on them.

Foiled Holiday Circle Gift Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Those Circle Gift Tags

Die-cut a couple of large circles as the tag base with white cardstock. Then cut several large circles in different colors of cardstock. Cut up those colored cardstock circles and add a few to your large circle with the E-Z Dots® Petite Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: For interest, add a little ink on the edges. Lastly, punch a small hole on the top.

Add the Sentiment and Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and place it across the tag with E-Z Dots® Petite Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Add a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape below it (remove the top liner) and foil! How? Take a piece of silver foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foil, and (color side facing you), rub the foil into the tape to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the shine…so easy!

Foiling Some 3D Christmas Shapes

Grab a couple of foam ornament shapes and a sheet of green foil from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foil. Repeat the foiling steps mentioned above. Then “hang” them by drawing some stitched line or string with a black pen or marker.

I used the foam tree shapes from the same kit on the other Holiday Circle Gift Tag and did the foiling steps (ie. Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique). Then to fill out the design, I randomly rolled a few E-Z Runner Stars Refillable Dispenser and make them shine with the foiling steps to them as well.

Finish the Tags

Complete the tags by threading white floss through the punched hole. Ribbon also makes a nice touch too!

These tags would be perfect to decorate your holiday gifts or super fun to tie on bags of holiday treats. So many gift presentation ideas! Ready to make some Foiled Holiday Circle Gift Tags of your own? I hope you are and would love to see the results!

Happy Creating!

Leaf Banner Thank You Card

Posted on November 22, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Fall Y’all! I had some fall-themed collection on my desk so I decided to use them and our 3D Foam Leaves to create a Leaf Banner Thank You Card. Hi, Margie here today to show you how I created some interest to foiling without any special tools!

Leaf Banner Thank You Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Leaf Banner Card Panel Layers

For an A2-size (5.5 x 4.25″) standard white cardstock card base, I cut a 4 7/8 x 2-inch yellow patterned strip of paper. The larger patterned paper was 4 7/8 x 3-inch.

The larger patterned piece, I paper torn the bottom edge before adhering together with the yellow paper to form a 4 7/8 x 3-inch panel. I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to secure the layers. The panel was popped up with Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft.

Designer’s Tip: Use the rounded end of a bone folder to burnish the adhesive to secure the layers.

Leaf Banner Details

I tucked the twine behind the foam tape and secure the banner front with Adhesive Lines.

Now to create the foiled leaves with the combination of the 3D Foam Leaves and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. View the 3D Foam Leaves Foiling Technique video below to see how I created a two color leaf.

This is the results below! Designer’s Tip: Use an anti-static powder tool to alleviate any stickiness from the foam.

Card Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment with dark brown ink on a 2.25 x 0.50-inch strip of yellow pattern paper. Trim the strip to fit the card front. Secure and lift the strip with 3D Foam Strips. Then add the large orange rhinestone at the end of the sentiment to finish.

Thankful for You Shaker Card

Posted on November 20, 2025 by Ali Skifton

Hi, Ali here today! Today, I’m so excited to share a special Thanksgiving card I created for my husband, Jeff. This Thankful for You Shaker Card is perfect because of the colors, patterns, and cozy autumn vibes. I tried a few new-to-me products, 3D Foam Circles White Mix and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. Once I started using them, I couldn’t stop! They added so much texture, shimmer, and dimension to my card that I’m already dreaming up ways to use them again for Christmas cards and winter projects.

Thankful for You Shaker Card by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Building the Background

Choose two patterned papers from the 6×6 Farmhouse paper pad. I love how well these papers coordinate! Cut each sheet on the diagonal and pieced together to form the background for my card front. This simple cut added visual interest and a bit of rustic charm. Adhere with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Layering the Focal Point

Layer a scalloped circle with a slightly smaller circle to frame the focal point to the card’s center. Place a fun and an interactive element, Doodle-Pop pumpkin shaker, to the layered circle. Love how the shaker adds a little movement and sparkle! Because it’s a heavier embellishment, I used extra adhesive to make sure it stayed firmly attached.

Adding Dimension and Shine

Let’s add the details…because it’s all in the details, right? Some of the cute leaves, acorn and floral pieces were randomly placed around the circle with a combination of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares White Mix for depth and texture.

Now, the real fun began…Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! I centered some of the 3D on the floral accents. Remove one of the top liners. Cut a smaller piece of fine gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack and with the color side facing you, rub the foil color into the foam circle. Peel off to reveal the color. Repeat the steps with the other foam circles. It was unbelievably easy!

The gold really makes the flowers pop! It’s such a simple technique, but it brings an elegant shimmer to the design that catches the light beautifully.

Final Touches and Thoughts

After everything was in place, I stepped back and couldn’t help but smile. The combination of warm colors, layered textures, and metallic shine perfectly captured the cozy spirit of Thanksgiving.

Creating this card reminded me why I love handmade crafts so much—they’re not just paper and glue, but tiny pieces of joy and gratitude we can share with the people we love.

I hope this Thankful for You Shaker Card inspires you to try out this Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with 3D Foam shapes and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for your own seasonal creations. Trust me, once you start experimenting, the possibilities are endless—from Christmas cards to scrapbook layouts to gift tags!

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with warmth, creativity, and love.

Warm hugs,
Ali 💛

Layered Thanksgiving Tag Card

Posted on November 17, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with some inspiration for Thanksgiving cardmaking. This Layered Thanksgiving Tag Card is all about adding interest to create a beautiful dimensional card.

Layered Thanksgiving Tag Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The great thing is that it’s easy to make and beginner-friendly. Let’s get started!

Layered Thanksgiving Card Base

Start by trimming green patterned cardstock to a rectangular size and mat on a brown panel. Next, secure the layered panel to a white card base. I used the the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere all the layers!

Create a Tag Shape

Cut a large tag from patterned paper and punch a hole towards the top of the tag. Next, thread an orange ribbon through the punched opening. For dimension, add several regular size squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix pack on the back of the tag and place it diagonally on the card front.

Die-cut a scalloped circle from patterned paper and distress the edges by inking with brown ink and an ink blending tool. Center the inked circle to the tag right below the line using several squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Adding Elements

For the focal point, I centered the doodle-pop sticker on the scalloped circle. The sentiment was from the cardstock ephemera pack and I used the smaller squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix pack to place it under the circle.

Voilá! Your Layered Thanksgiving Tag Card is ready…ten days till the big turkey day! In the meantime, wishing you happy crafting!

Cruisin’ Birthday Card

Posted on November 15, 2025 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy weekend! Don’t you just love having extra birthday cards in your stash? It seems I make more birthday cards than any other kinds of cards, and masculine cards are a bonus! Leslie here, sharing a cruisin’ birthday card that would be fun to mass produce with different manly background papers. This card features several of my absolute favorite Scrapbook Adhesives products!

Cruisin' Birthday Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assembling The Focal Element

I created the focal element first. Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. were applied to the back of the smaller gray circle and the gold emblem piece. Next, I used E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble the remaining flat elements. Finally, I used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the needle base, first portion of the sentiment, and the bottom of the emblem.

Putting It All Together

Once again, I reached for the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the patterned paper to the card base. Also used it to adhere the focal element (without any additional embellishments), and this completed front of this cruisin’ birthday card.

Finishing The Inside

And yes, I’m one of those nerdy crafters who finishes the insides of my cards. I generally like to incorporate one or more of the patterned papers used on the front. Occasionally I will leave the inside blank to customize it for the person receiving it, but this card needed a cruisin’ birthday card sentiment. The E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere the layers on the inside. This is unquestionably my go-to adhesive for all of my crafting!

Thanks so much for visiting – we’ll see you next time!

Floral Thank You Card

Posted on November 12, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! For this pretty Floral Thank You Card, I used watercolors in fall colors to paint the flowers. I like to add a little dimension to cards so I’ve used 3D Foam Strips Large White to attach the flowers to the panel. For the cardstock, I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White for greeting words. This card goes together quite quickly once the watercolor flowers panel was finished.

Floral Thank You Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Flowers Focal Point

Cut a piece of Distress watercolor paper slightly larger than floral stamp, 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Use a stamp positioning tool to stamp flowers onto smooth side of watercolor paper with Morning Mist ink. Leave stamp in stamping tool to use again later.

Use watercolors to paint flowers. Place painted piece back in stamping tool, ink stamp with Fallen Leaves ink and stamp. Use coordinating die and die cutting machine to die-cut flowers.

Floral Card Layers

Cut white cardstock 8.5 x 6.5 inches, score and fold to form 4.25 x 6.5 inch card. From light blue cardstock, cut 3.375 x 4.25 inch rectangle and use a 0.5 inch corner rounder to round each corner. Cut 3.5 x 4.375 inch rectangle from dark brown cardstock and round each corner with corner rounder.

Apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the back of the light blue piece and secure it to the dark brown piece. Then adhere the layered panel to the card front about 1.25 inches from the top.

Secure the Flowers

Cut pieces of 3D Foam Strips Large White to fit the back of the floral die-cut shape. Peel off the top liners and center it to the card front.

Create the Greetings

On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the sentiment words using Fallen Leaves ink and trim the excess cardstock. Place 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White on the back of the stamped cardstock. Trim off any excess foam sheet.

Die-cut it with the coordinating word dies. Designer’s Tip: It’s best to make at least two passes with die cutting machine to ensure a clean cut. Peel liners from the die-cut words and attach them on the card as shown.

Layered Fur Baby Layout

Posted on November 9, 2025 by Tracy McLennon

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here and today I wanted to share this fun Layered Fur Baby Layout I created featuring my handsome dog Zeus. Here are all of the details on how I created this layered pet layout.

Layered Fur Baby Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foundation of the Fur Baby Layout

Black cardstock is the background of this layout. Cut a piece of the blue bone patterned paper, and slightly smaller piece of green patterned paper that are 11″ long. Adhere these to the top and bottom of the black cardstock background using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Cut a strip of yellow patterned paper and adhere in between the other pieces, again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Mat the cropped 4×6 photo in white cardstock and attach using Creative Photo Corners Black. Cut another white cardstock mat a little larger. Adhere this layer using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Cut a strip of red patterned paper that is 3″ wide and flagged at the bottom. Adhere that to the right hand side of the layered pet layout using E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Next step is to add the layout title. I added these 2 die cut pieces using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I also added a tag piece to the top of the red patterned paper strip using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Adhere the matted photo to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Add die cut pieces and tags along the bottom green patterned paper section using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This creates a sweet border for this layered pet layout. Add the sticker and shaker embellishments around the layout title.
