One Panel Christmas Gift Cards

Posted on November 23, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like to give cash for Christmas gifts? Teri here to show you how to make some quick and easy One Panel Christmas Gift Cards. It’s perfect to stash some holiday cash into!

One Panel Christmas Gift Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You’ll need a few printed Christmas die-cuts, cardstock, Keepsakes Envelopes, and some basic paper crafting supplies to create these!

Make and Embellish Your One Panel Card Base

Start by cutting a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of cardstock for each card you want to make.

Arrange your Christmas die-cuts on how you want them to be on your card. If you are using any frame die-cuts, consider placing patterned paper or pages from an old book in the middle. Use Crafty Foam Tape to make some of the elements stand out.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser

Give the front of your card a little sparkle by randomly rolling some dots from the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and foiling on top. Simply place a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Make sure the color side is facing you. Gently rub the color to transfer it to the adhesive. Reapply foil on missed areas.

Make your elements stand out a little more by adding a couple of the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack to your design. I used the gold corners which are perfect for adding glitz and work great with rectangle elements!

Add and Decorate the Pockets

Turn your card around and add a Keepsake Envelopes pocket to it. Be sure to leave the flap open and embellish around it with strips of paper or additional die-cuts.

Instead of removing the adhesive section on the front of the pocket, cover it with a small element! Fold up your cash and tuck it in the pocket! Leave the panel blank or write a message to go with it.

Put the panels in standard A2 envelopes to give them out! Or turn them into tags by poking a hole in them and adding some twine or ribbon to them.

I hope this idea gets your creative juices flowing! Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Creating!

Mini Shaker Note Card

Posted on November 20, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

When you’re short on time but want to make a shaker card, how about a Keepsake Envelope to the rescue? These clear self-adhesive envelopes come in several different sizes. Today I am sharing a mini shaker note card with the smallest size (2-inch) and some fun ideas to create with one! Let me show you!

Mini Shaker Note Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Shaker Note Card

Fold a 3 x 6-inch white cardstock in half to create a 3-inch square top fold mini note card base. We’ll be using the Pretty Peonies patterned paper on both sides. On the B-side/pink pattern, cut one square piece of 2.75-inch and 2-inch. On the floral pattern side, cut a square piece of 2 5/8-inch.

Adhere the 2.75-inch square (pink) with the 2 5/8-inch square (floral). Then add the layered square to the card base with the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser.

Create the Shaker

Remove one of the 2-inch envelopes from the Keepsake Envelopes Mix pack and adhere it on top of the 2-inch square (pink) so the paper is behind the envelope. Open the flap and add shaker mix…but wait!

Preparing the Heart Shape Shaker Mix

Create foiled sequin shapes with the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Apply a row of E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser on a non-stick craft sheet and apply your choice of foil to the shapes by placing the foil facing COLOR SIDE UP to rub it with your fingertips to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the results. Reapply foil in missed areas. This concept is called “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.”

View How to Use the E-Z Runner Hearts Video

I am sharing visually how to create those shaker bits in this How to Use E-Z Runner Hearts video – it starts at the shaker bit portion of the video. Enjoy!

Use a pair of tweezers or fingernails to lift the shape from the craft sheet and flip it to its backside to repeat the foiling steps. Create as many as you like with different foil colors.

Embellish the Shaker Note Card

Peel off the liner from the envelope flap and close. Wrap white twine once vertically and knot to close. Tie a loopy double bow and secure it to the envelope with an Adhesive Dots Small. Tie a single bow with a thin white ribbon and secure on top of the twine bow with another Adhesive Dots Small. Use the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to secure the shaker to the center of the card base.

Finishing Touches

Die-cut a flower shape from a sheet of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White and remove the top liner. Apply a piece of purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top using the same foiling technique. Remember the foil color is facing UP!

Place a regular 3D Foam Circles Black in the back of the flower and a small 3D Foam Circles Black in the flower’s center. Adhere the flower on top of the bow. Remove the small 3D Foam Circles Black liner and foil the circle.

Stamp and cut the sentiment on white cardstock. Using Adhesive Dots Small, place it under the flower embellishment. Done! I hope you enjoyed the Mini Shaker Note Card project and it inspires you to create one too!

Glittery Star Holiday Card

Posted on November 17, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With the holiday season coming up it’s time to start making Christmas cards! The Glittery Star Holiday Card I made is super quick and easy to create, so great for beginner cardmakers and those who have to create many cards. Come on and let’s make the card together!

Glittery Star Holiday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glittery Star Card Base

First, create a folded kraft card base. Then adhere a white card panel on the front with the E-Z Runner®Grand Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive. Next, layer a blue patterned card panel.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Star

To create the glittery effect on this Christmas card, I will use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. This concept is bringing your adhesives from under layers to the front to make decorative accents and/or a focal point on a project!

Start with the largest size 3D Foam Star and center it on the card front. Then remove the top liner and cover with copper glitter over the exposed adhesive on the star. Rub the glitter into the shape to secure and tap off the excess. Designer’s Note: to get those pesky glitter still left on the card, use a soft brush to remove them.

Now randomly add some 3D Foam Circles White Mix around the glittered star as accents. Next, peel off the liner and this time cover them with white holographic glitter. Just repeat the glittering steps to finish embellishing.

The Sentiment

For a finishing touch, I added a Merry Christmas sentiment. I used my Dymo Label maker to print out the sentiment and then matted it onto a white banner. Lastly, adhere to the card using 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

And voilá, your Glittery Star Holiday Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy holiday crafting!

Gratitude Journal 2025

Posted on November 15, 2024 by Lara Scott

Hi, L ara here again! This year instead of just doing a Gratitude Journal for November, I decided to do one for the next year.

I had found this nice green color notebook when I was going through boxes of stuff to get rid of and I decided it was the perfect look for a mini album but then I decided it would make a great extended version of a Gratitude Journal. After all the things my family has gone through in the past 6 or 7 years, I have realized there is always something to be grateful for even if it is something as simple as the sound of rain or seeing the sunrise.

Gratitude Journal 2025 by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Gratitude Journal Cover

I didn’t like the cover so I cut a piece of patterned paper about 1/2″ smaller than the journal cover. Then for the second layer, I cut about 1″ smaller than the first patterned paper. Adhere both to the cover using the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing the Cover

I created a word block on the cover by cutting a rectangle shape from green cardstock and a white one about 1/2″ smaller. Mat the rectangles together and adhere to the upper top of the gird paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Using a combination of rub-ons, stamps, letter stickers, and handwritten “gratitude” + “journal”, I achieved my cover design.

Lastly, I drew some line work to frame out the title and added a butterfly die-cut shape adhered with the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. Pictured above is a close-up image of the title 🙂

Finishing Touch

To finish, I tied some pretty ribbon on the wired spine for interest and texture. Here is another view with one of my favorite plants, the Begonia maculata…love the polka-dotted leaves and it goes well with the green colors of my Gratitude Journal!

Here is the journal with the adhesives I used. I wanted to keep it pretty flat so it fit in my purse.

I hope my project inspired you to start your Gratitude Journal for 2025!

Foiled Leaves Thanksgiving Card

Posted on November 13, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today with a quick and simple Foiled Leaves Thanksgiving Card! Dimensional and metallic foil leaves are easy to make with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors with 3D Foam Leaves. Simply use an embossed background with burlap accent and a stamped greeting to quickly put together this card.

Prepare Card Parts

Cut birch cardstock 5.5 x 8.5 inches, score and fold to make 4.25 x 5.5 inch vertical fold card.

From birch cardstock, cut a 2.5 x 2.75-inch piece and emboss with an embossing folder using a die-cutting machine. Also, cut a 2.75 x 3-inch mat from medium brown cardstock.

From burlap fabric (or burlap ribbon), cut a piece to 0.75 x 3.5 inches. Fray ends slightly.

Assemble Card Base

Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the embossed piece and attach it to a medium brown mat. Next, apply adhesive to the back with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and secure it to the card front.

Fasten Burlap

Cut a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. and fasten across the embossed panel for placement of burlap. Peel the liner and press the burlap in place.

Make Foil Leaves

Peel the liner from the medium-size leaf from 3D Foam Leaves. Randomly press Bronze foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors lightly onto a portion of the leaf. Make sure the color is facing you. Continue with Brown and Copper until the leaf is covered with foil. Lastly, press one of the foil colors over the entire leaf to fill any voids. Repeat on two more leaves.

Optional: Touch the tip of E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser on the leaf to transfer just a few dots of the adhesive. Then cover adhesive dots with foil. Repeat as desired on each leaf.

Pull a leaf off of the backing and touch the stem and very tip of leaf to foil to cover adhesive so stem and leaf tip aren’t sticky. Place leaf on center of burlap. Repeat with two more leaves and press firmly into burlap to secure. If leaves are placed lightly, they can moved if needed for desired placement.

Stamp Greeting

Ink stamp with Versafine Black Onyx and stamp greeting below leaves panel.

How easy is that! Change it up with a different greeting, different embossing designs, and even different colors of foil.

An Autumn Thank You Card

Posted on November 10, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today and I have an Autumn Thank You Card to share with you that celebrates fall color tones and the brilliance of foil! Let’s get started!

An Autumn Thank You Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Autumn Thank You Pumpkin Design

To create this card, I began by die-cutting the pumpkins, inking them, and assembling them with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I set those aside to let dry.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Strips Large

Place three 3D Foam Strips Large White at the bottom of the white card panel. I covered each strip with beautiful foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors pack. Remember to face the colors towards you and gently rub to transfer to the strips. I love this pack for autumn designs. The gold and copper tones are perfect!

Assembling the Card Front

After foiling the strips, I adhered the pumpkins with a combination of E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares White Regular, providing plenty of dimension.

Finally, I die cut the thank you sentiment from gold and craft striped cardstock and adhered that to the card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. I love how warm this autumn design feels! I hope you give it a try!

Vintage Christmas Card

Posted on November 7, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi friends! Can’t believe Christmas is next month! Teri here to show you a Vintage Christmas Card. I will share some adhesive tips on how to make the elements stand out!

Vintage Christmas Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Vintage Christmas Card Base

Start by creating a card base from white cardstock. Roll the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser onto the card front. Next, add page pieces from an old book to it. Note: Make sure to put the adhesive on the card front first. Old book pages are sometimes delicate and will tear when you roll the adhesive directly onto them.

Adding Layers

Gather an assortment of printed and vintage-inspired die-cut elements. I picked out a window as a focal point, along with some various Christmas items.

Apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to the back of the window and cover the openings with a combination of transparency and patterned papers. Next, add Crafty Foam Tape Black on the sides of the window and set it aside.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Petite

Roll the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable along some of the edges of the card. Be random and messy for a grungy, vintage look. Gently burnish a piece of red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate on top of the exposed adhesive. Remember to face the foil color towards you. Use as much or as little as you’d like.

Pop Up the Christmas Scene

Grab your window and remove the liners to secure it to the card front. Determine your design with the other elements. To create a dimensional scene, I used a combination of flat and 3D Foam adhesives. I layered pieces of 3D Foam Tape and Thin 3D Foam Squares to make different depths. Note: This helps steady the elements so nothing wobbles.

Finishing Touches

Finish your card by adding a sentiment and a few embellishments. Pompoms are great for mimicking the look of snow. Simply place an Adhesive Dot with it and adhere them to your card! Use as many (or as little) as you want!

I hope you were inspired by today’s Vintage Christmas Card tutorial. Try out some of my tips for making your own.

Happy Creating!

Beautiful Fall Leaves Card

Posted on November 5, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here is a seasonal card. Days are getting colder and the trees start falling leaves in beautiful autumn colors. This was the inspiration for my Beautiful Fall Leaves Card.

Beautiful Fall Leaves Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To make the leaves look frosty, I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. I would love to share how I made my card with you. Would you like to join me?

Fall Leaves Card Panel

Start by putting a piece of kraft cardstock between an embossing folder with a tree ring pattern and then running it through your die-cut embossing machine. Then, trim the embossed cardstock to a rectangular size. Next, use a dark brown inkpad and gently rub it over the embossed pattern.

Card Base Layers

To create the card base for the Frosty Fall Card adhere the embossed top card panel onto an orange card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Next, adhere to a white card base and use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to affix.

Creating Frosty Leaves

First die-cut some leaves from green, orange, and red cardstock. To add fading colors to the leaves for your Frosty Fall card I colored the leaves in multiple shades with inkpads by simply rubbing red, dark yellow, brown, and olive green inkpads over the parts of the embossed leaves.

Let the ink dry. Next, apply some glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen onto a piece of soft foam and dab the glue onto parts of the embossed leaves.

Then dip the leaves in a mix of clear embossing powder and transparent glitter while the glue is still wet. Next heat using a heating tool. This way the embossing powder melts and bonds the glitter. The result is a beautiful frosty effect. The technique for making your adhesive shine is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Finishing the Card

Adhere the frosted leaves onto the card base using Adhesive Dots Micro for invisible adhering. For a finishing touch, I stamped a sentiment onto a piece of olive cardstock using a black ink pad. Then cut a banner from it using scissors. Then adhere the sentiment onto the card using 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

And voilá, your Frosty Fall Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a happy fall crafting!

Mini Gratitude Folio

Posted on November 3, 2024 by Lara Scott

Hi, Lara here today! Since it is still fairly warm in Texas, there really isn’t a fall season, but it does cool off a little. I created a Mini Gratitude Folio with only one 12 x 12″ paper just for the occasion. Also, I added extra cardstock for the photo mats. Creating simple projects that look advanced is just as fun as creating detailed projects! Let me show you.

Mini Gratitude Folio by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Gratitude Folio Base

Score and cut one sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper to form the base of this mini folio. It has many little pockets, flip-ups, and folders, along with a few tags.

Adding Elements

Make a little cardstock file folder to fit in the front pocket. Next, add the gratitude label and a few gold foil stars cut from an electronic cutting machine. Then add a small tag to the front side pocket and place some ribbon on it.

Inside Pages

Cut and layer photo mats with white and orange-red cardstock. Place a small “Give Thanks” ephemera and a few die-cut leaves with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. For the Plaid card, I cut the paper so it would overlap when closed. Next, I placed gold and white baker’s twine, which is attached to the back of the card with E xtreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

The page with the heart folds down so more photos can be added with some writing or a quote inside. Don’t forget to add those photo mats! All were secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. The center page is a pocket under a flap that lifts up. Mini magnets were used to keep the first page closed and velcro dots to keep the pocket sealed.

Here is a close-up of the photo flip-down. I added a gold label and a die-cut heart.

Use a 1.5-inch circle punch to punch out a notch for the pocket in the center pocket page.

I hope you give this Mini Grateful Folio project inspires you to try it!

Perk Up Soon Shaker Card Tutorial

Who can resist a shaker card with a coffee theme? Hi, Margie here today! To create this card to brighten someone’s day! Featuring our Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. it covers my card front with edge-to-edge adhesive to secure my acetate in my shaker element. Let me show you.

Perk Up Soon Shaker Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

What are Adhesive Sheets

Adhesive sheets provide a clear application of strong permanent clear adhesive for edge-to-edge coverage on die cuts, embellishments, photos, and papers…acetate too!

View the How to Use Adhesive Sheets video below.

Creating the Card Front

My card front is A2-sized (4.25 x 5.5 inch) so the Adhesive Sheet will cover most but not all of it which is fine. I only need it to cover the open areas. Peel off the liner and place a piece of 3.5 x 5.5-inch clear acetate over it. Designer’s Tip: use the round end of a bone folder to burnish the adhesive into the acetate to ensure secure hold.

With my shears, I cut a narrow strip from the 3D Foam Strips to add on the thinner borders of the card front. Then using the rest of the 3D Foam Strips I covered the rest of the card front. Set it aside.

Adding Shaker Mix to the Perk Up Soon Card

Cut a piece of 4.25 x 5.5-inch blue patterned paper and cover the white card base with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft.. Next, add the cute coffee shaker sprinkles on the left side of the card front, and set it aside.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Crafty Power Tape

The fun part begins! Apply a strip of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. vertically down the right side and trim the ends. Pour embossing powder, making sure to press down to secure, and tap off excess. With a heating tool, melt the powder. I love this technique and the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. does not melt or change its shape!

Finishing Touches

After assembling the card panel with the card base. Stamp the sentiment in a combination of the VersaMark ink and the same embossing powder on the blue patterned paper. Cut it into a strip and secure it with the Adhesive Lines. Add the heart and coffee beans using a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Small. Done!

Just a note: Maybe do the heat embossing on the card panel before adding acetate. Mine warped a little. LOL! #LessonLearned Thanks for stopping by! Keep scrolling for the Coffee Lovers’ Blog Hop info. Good Luck!
