Thoughtful Flower Card with 3D Petals

Posted on May 13, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Hello! It’s Judy here today with a tutorial for my “You’re so Thoughtful” flower card that features dimension. Using Thin 3D Foam Squares and Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin to fasten the flower, the petals are slightly raised while the center of the flower is attached flat to the card.

You’re So Thoughtful Card Base

This card has a 4.5 x 6 inch cream card base, then a cream rectangle mat with inked edges. Next I have a die cut shape that is stamped with script and has inked edges. These layers are assembled with MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser. This dispenser can be personalized with photos or papers, like a tiny work of art on your dispenser!

Stamp the flower on cream cardstock with ink. Then die cut and watercolor the image with water based inks. Shape the petals while the paper is still damp, and allow it to dry.

Now fasten the flower to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the petals. On some petals, layer two Thin 3D Foam Squares for more depth. Use Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin on the back of center of the flower. One strip from MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser is on end of the stem.

Stamp the verse on narrow strips of cream cardstock. Fasten each piece with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix cut to fit. It’s so easy to do by cutting through Thin 3D Foam Squares with scissors! That way the unused pieces remain on the liner sheet for another project.

You can see the flower petals are slightly raised and center is flat to make a pretty and dimensional flower card!

Little Princess Card with Burlap

Posted on May 11, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back, paper crafting friends! It’s Tracy here and today I have a sweet little princess card to share that is NOT short of cuteness and texture. I love playing with texture on all of my paper crafting projects, and that means you have to find the right adhesives for the job.

Princess Card Instructions

First, I gathered the bits and pieces I planned on using on this sweet little princess card. Including that beautiful pink burlap. The problem is burlap is SO often hard to adhere to a project. That’s where Crafty Power Tape comes in.

Little Princess Card and Burlap by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add strips of Crafty Power Tape to the white cardstock card base. Then add the pink burlap, and press down firmly to secure it in place.

Using Crafty Power Tape again, adhere the teal patterned paper layer to the pink burlap.

I wanted the narrowest little strip of patterned paper on the edge of the teal pattern, the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser was the perfect adhesive to attach it. This adds another subtle layer to my card.

I used the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser again to adhere the polka dot die cut frame to the card. Next, se 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size and Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to add the princess die cut pieces.

Finally, I simply added a few quick coordinating embellishments to my princess card, the bow clip and a few enamel dots. Then I used glitter glue to add a little extra sparkle here and there.

Happy Mail Greetings! Shellye McDaniel here today with a sweet happy mail mini bag album to give or keep stuff full of adorable items!

Happy Mail Mini Bag Album by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mini Bag Album Basics

To begin, selected two flat bags that measure 5 X 6.25-inch. For the first bag, fold it up from the bottom about 3-inches. Next, make an easel from the second bag; below is a photo of how to make the folds:

After folding, attach it to the bottom back of the second bag as shown above.

Album Decorating Details

Onto the decorating! For the cover, use a journal card embellished with one of the 3D Foam Frames. Sprinkle some micro pony beads and glitter onto the adhesive surface.

Next, attach an additional patterned paper and made it flip up like the cover. The papers and pocket are 3D embellished with stickers and die-cuts using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. You could tuck a gift card along with the tags!

Filling the Mini Bag Album

Finally, fill the opening of the bag with lots of handmade goodies. I included a bag tag created with the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops. To the inside of the tag, I added a trimmed down journal card. I think these would be so cute personalized on the other side with initials or a name.

Lastly, I’m sharing a peek at how the easel on the back works. The bag has the ability to lie flat or stand up on a tabletop!

Crafty Friend Card with Foil Technique

Posted on May 7, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Got a crafty friend in your life? Teri here, and I’m going to show you how to make a quick card that is sure to make your favorite stamping sister (or brother) smile!

Crafty Friend Card with Foil Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Crafty Friend Card with Foil

Start by creating a standard card from a panel of white cardstock. Then, cut a long rectangle from an Adhesive Sheet 4×6 inch. Tear off the bottom of the rectangle and rub the adhesive to transfer it onto the card.

Crafty Friend Card with Foil Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This fun technique would be appreciated by your crafty friend – trust me! LOL! First, take a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil (color side UP) and rub it directly onto the adhesive. When burnishing foil, I like to make a fist with my hand and rub the foil over and over again until it completely adheres to the card. Another way to burnish foil? Use bone folder rather than your hand!

Crafty Friend Card with Foil Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding the Fun Stuff

Now that you’ve added foil to your card, you’re going to do some stamping! Stamp a couple stamps and hearts onto cardstock. Color them in with markers and then cut the images out with your scissors. Mount the images onto your card with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I love using these squares on cards because they give elements a little pop but not too much.

Crafty Friend Card with Foil Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Take a strip of cardstock and stamp a sentiment onto it. Adhere it to the card as well with the Thin 3D Foam Squares. If the sentiment strip is longer than your card, snip off the ends with your scissors.

Complete the card by adding a few sequins to it. You’ll notice on my card that I tried to place sequins on some spots where I didn’t apply foil to the card. Sequins are a great way to hide any mistakes.

By the way, did you know the Micro Adhesive Dots work well for applying sequins to cards? They are the perfect size for these small embellishments.

Mother’s Day Love Shaker Card

Posted on May 5, 2019 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here sharing a shaker Love Card I made for Mother’s Day…I know my mum will be very very happy to receive this one! Shaker cards are a lot of fun to make and with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White, it’s also very easy to make. So, let me show you how I made the card.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With shaker cards, I like to work from top to bottom layer. Why? This way I trim the middle layer card to the right size panel after having adhered it to the top (Shaker layer). So I do not need to be very precise adhering these card layers.

Making the Shaker Top Layer

Trim a piece of patterned cardstock to a rectangle shape. Die-cut and emboss a circle towards the top center. This layer will be the shaker window.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, to cover the opening, adhere a piece of acetate to the back of the panel securing with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Shaker Feature

Die-cut with the same circle that was used for the window panel into the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White three times. Using scissors, hand-cut a bigger circle around the circle openings of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White. You will need to do this with all three to create three rings. Remove the liners, stack and adhere all three rings to the back of the acetate window panel.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then adhere 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size to the back of the card panel. Make sure to have the same height as the stacked 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White Circles. To achieve this I stacked a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add some shaker materials on top of the acetate circle on the back side of the panel. Remove the liner on the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White circle die cuts and all the 3D Foam Squares. Cover the shaker panel with the second piece of white cardstock panel and gently rub to assure secured adhering of the layers. You have finished the shaker part of the card!

The Shaker Card Base Instructions

Turn around the card panel with the shaker side up. Trim the white panel to the right size. Ink the edges of both layers with a grey ink pad and an ink blending tool. Then adhere the layers to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and trim the card base to the right size.

Embellishing the Card

Die-cut a wreath from green cardstock and adhered it to the card using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. Note that I cut them into small stripes to tuck behind the die cut.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, glue the flowers, leaves, and stamens onto the wreath.

Mother's Day Love Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I adhered the metal butterflies to the wreath with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Now die-cut the Love sentiment from gold glittered cardstock. Roll the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser over the back of the Love die cut and adhere to the shaker window.

Glittered Finish

Finally, I made glue stripes onto the card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and then sprinkled white glitter on top.

Let dry thoroughly and voila…your Shaker Mother’s Day card is finished.

Wishing you happy crafting!
