Grateful Tag with Metallic Panel

Posted on August 18, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I had fun using leftover Metallic Foil Sheets from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White to make a Grateful Tag with Metallic Panel. No two backgrounds turn out the same! A similar effect can also be created with fresh foil sheets by dabbing assorted foils in random areas until the panel is covered.

Grateful Tag with Metallic Panel by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Grateful Tag Inked Background

Lightly apply Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo ink through a flourish stencil with a sponge applicator. Move the stencil and repeat until you get your desired look. Next, repeat the step in a few areas with Distress Oxide ink Victorian Velvet.

Remove the stencil and rub Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink over the entire tag. Use a sponge applicator to apply Distress Picket Fence ink over areas of the tag. Lightly mist with water and set aside.

Make the Metallic Panel

Cut a piece of white cardstock to 1.875 x 4.25 inches. Next, cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White to 1.625 X 3.875 inches, peel the liner off, and attach it centered on the white cardstock.

Gather used pieces of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Partially peel back the liner on the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White, lightly press the foil on the adhesive, and peel off. Then apply another color overlapping previously foiled areas to fill all spaces. Repeat with different colors until the entire panel is covered. Lastly, apply adhesive on the back with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and attach it to the tag front.

Stamp and Place the Verse

Stamp verse with black ink and die-cut into a strip with its coordinating die. Cut off points at the ends. Place the smaller squares from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the verse strip. At each end of the strip, stack two of the smaller squares from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Peel off the liners and secure the verse across the foil background.

Add 3D Foam Heart Accents

Attach three small hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts vertically above the verse.

Peel off the liner from one heart and apply assorted colors from the leftover Metallic Foil. Repeat the same process for each of the hearts.

Prepping and Adding the Ribbons

Randomly sponge on Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink on white seam binding (or ribbon), and mist with water. Crumple and roll in your hands. Allow to dry or dry with a heating tool. Also, use a heating tool to make sheer ribbons crinkle. Loop the ribbons and thread through the opening of the tag. Trim ends.

Hello New School Year Card

Posted on August 17, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With a new school year coming, I made this Hello New School Year Card. It’s always super exciting and maybe a bit scary to enter school or a new school year, so let’s show some support and encouragement. And… what better way than a handmade card?

Hello New School Year Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This one is super easy to create and suitable for beginner cardmakers. Wanna join me?

New School Year Card Panel

Start by trimming a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size for the card panel. Now cut a label from a patterned paper, cut or punch a hole, and thread ribbon through it. Adhere the label to the center of the card panel. For a subtle lift, I used the Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Place stickers on a piece of white cardstock and fuzzy cut the images. Adhere them to the card panel using 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for dimension and interest.

Create and Layer the Card Base

Mat the card panel on a sea green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere to a white card base with the same tape dispenser. Let’s add a fun element to the New School Year Card.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Shiny star elements will be added by using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. It takes the adhesives from under the layers of paper and brings them out to make them as embellishments! Start with randomly adding some 3D Foam Stars onto the card.

Remove the top liner and place a piece of blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors over the exposed adhesive (make sure the shiny blue color is facing you). Gently rub the foil color to the stars to transfer the color. If there are any missed areas, simply reapply the foil.

What a great way to show your child or grandchild that he or she is a star!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Happy Fall Wreath Seed Packet

Posted on August 15, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Fall season is right around the corner so I wanted to create a seasonal seed packet for the occasion. Featuring the 3D Foam Circle Frames White, I couldn’t resist a wreath design! Hi, Margie here with my process on how to create this. Come join me!

Happy Fall Wreath Seed Packet by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Fall Wreath Design

Stamp, watercolor, and die-cut fall elements. Using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser and Adhesive Dots Medium, I created little clusters…some of them I will use in other future projects #ThinkAhead 😊

Seed Packet

Die-cut a seed packet in cream cardstock. There is no need to assemble yet. Center the fifth largest ring from the 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the front of the packet.

Embellish the Packet Front

I am using the pumpkin and sunflower cluster. Place behind it a strip of 3D Foam Strips toward the bottom. Remove the top liner at the bottom part of the foam ring and place the cluster. With the top liner still intact, I can determine my smaller accent before committing. LOL!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

Cut a piece of brown foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and crumple it to create wrinkles. Next, flatten it out, place it over the exposed adhesive (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the design to the foam. The white wrinkles are exposed adhesive so take a piece of contrasting color like orange/copper from the same foil pack and apply it over the wreath. No need to crumple it. The result is beautiful!

Stamping the Sentiments and Packet Assembly

Since it is a seed packet, I stamped the related information on the back of the packet. I wanted a sentiment strip to go across the wreath and found one in the same stamp set. With a 3D Foam Strip, I place the sentiment on the packet front. Next, I assembled the packet with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

The Finishing Touch

I used the smallest heart from the 3D Foam Hearts and centered it between the sprigs. Then foil with the same copper foil on the heart. Makes the perfect accent for my wreath 😊

I hope you enjoyed my Happy Fall Wreath Seed Packet tutorial! Till next time, I wish you a wonderful crafty day!

Hoppin’ Hello Foiled Frog

Posted on August 12, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today and I have a super fun card idea to share with you today! How do we feel about foiling a frog? I feel like it’s a good thing in this case with my Hoppin’ Hello Foiled Frog Card, and I think you are going to love it!

Hoppin' Hello Foiled Frog Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foiled Frog Design Inspiration

Who knew the leftover pieces from my package of 3D Foam Circle Frames would turn into the most adorable frog ever?! After creating a recent card, Hooray Rainbow Card actually, I had a bit left over and all my eyes could see was a cute little frog face. I simply HAD to pull out some foil to bring it to life!

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames

I pulled out the 3D Foam Circle Frames, the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, along with a simple white cardstock panel to get started. Using the leftovers from my rainbow project, I began foiling!

I began with the green foil, covering the bulk of the piece with the green to become the head of the frog. I left the release paper over the circle bits, as I wanted to add additional colors (pale purple and black) for those. I then did each eye area individually.

Creating the Card Front Panel

After adding the foil to each piece, I gently lifted the entire ‘frog head’ all together from the release paper. This allowed me to simply align the head onto the top of the cardstock panel and stick right on! Easy peasy, folks!

This next big might be the trickiest part for some of you! It was for me, but I’ll offer some tips of you don’t have confidence with a pen. I used a wider-tipped black pen to add the mouth of the frog. If you don’t love the hand drawn look or don’t feel confident with it, you can mask half of a circle outline stamp to create a similar look. You may even have a ‘smile’ stamp in your stash that you can use! It is totally up to you.

Layering the Layers

After adding the mouth, I mounted the panel onto a black panel, and then onto a white card base, adding some depth to the look. My E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser is my go-to for panels, as you get a strong hold and can easily apply full coverage.

Adding the Sentiment

Finally, I used my E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser to adhere the Hello sentiment to the card. I chose a nice large sentiment to keep with the playful feel of the frog. You could also choose to go with a fun pun like Hoppy Birthday or something along those lines.

This is a SUPER fun card to create and I hope you give it a try! Remember, sometimes those little leftovers don’t belong in the bin. They belong on a Hoppin’ Hello Foiled Frog Card! Sometimes a design will JUMP right out at you! Happy Creating!

Iced Tea Birthday Shaker Card

Posted on August 9, 2024 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little seasonal card inspired by hot summer days and ice-cold iced tea breaks. Here are the details on how I created this Iced Tea Birthday Shaker Card.

Iced Tea Birthday Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

First I dug this cute chipboard frame out of my stash of crafty goodies and added the acetate to the back using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Once the front of the Iced Tea Birthday Shaker is ready, add the 3D Foam Strips to create the pocket for all of the lovely shaker bits to live.

The next step is to cut a piece of the orange cardstock to fit it behind the shaker frame. Add the desired shaker bits into the frame you’ve created using the 3D Foam Strips, then add the cardstock piece to the back.

Cut the white cardstock card base, fold it, and set it aside. Then cut the other two cardstock layers. Adhere these to the Iced Tea Birthday Shaker Card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser once again to adhere the Iced Tea stamped image onto the frame.

Add Stickles to the stamped image for a little extra sparkle. Then I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment onto the frame using black ink. This finishes off the perfect Iced Tea Themed Shaker Card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Faux Embossed Cards

Posted on August 7, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you love the look of dry embossing? Teri here to show you a fun way to pull off the look without using an embossing folder. Check out my Faux Embossed Cards!

Faux Embossed Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

All you need to pull off this fabulous faux embossed look is a cutting die, cardstock, ink, and, of course, adhesive!

Faux Embossed Cards Design

Use a die to cut several shapes from white cardstock. They can be all the same or different. It’s up to you!

Adhere your shapes onto a panel of cardstock. Stack two shapes on top of each other as you go! You can save time as you go by using a Dual Glue Tip Pen to do the work! Simply squirt some glue on scratch paper and use an ink blending tool with a sponge pad on it or a sponge dauber to apply the glue. You don’t need a lot of glue for this process. Just a tiny amount that fully covers each die-cut. If your panel is warped from using too much glue, let it sit for a while under a book to flatten it out.

Adding Color

Trim any excess off your cardstock panel and apply ink. Use a water-friendly dye ink to do this. Keep applying ink to your panel until it’s completely covered.

Spritz or splatter some water onto your panel. Use a paper towel to pat off any excess water. Let the panel dry completely. You can let it air dry or speed up the process with a heat gun.

Making Your Card Panel

Add a sentiment to your panel and mount it onto your card. Consider placing some white Creative Photo Corners under the panel, allowing them to peek out just a little to give the card some extra visual interest.

Finish your card by adding a sentiment to it, as well as a few small embellishments.

Final Tips

Remember, if you decide to try this technique out, have fun and play! Try mixing different die-cut shapes to make your faux embossed background! Use fewer or more colors than I did.

You can also go without stacking any of your die-cuts. That’s right! You can use just one layer’s worth like I did here. The results are just as stunning!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial! Happy Creating!

Three-Tier Birthday Cake

Posted on August 6, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Birthday! Celebrate with a Three-Tier Birthday Cake and the best part? No calories! LOL! Hi, Margie here today and I am sharing a cake embellished full of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products. This year marks the company’s 20th year so why not make a cake? Let me show you how!

***** SCT Partner Celebration Giveaway is CLOSED. Thank YOU to those who participated…you all are winners! 💖 Congratulations to Anne B.!! *****

If you are here for the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine’s (SCT) Partner Celebration, you are at the right place! After you scroll through this FUN cake project, we will lead you to the SCT’s entry post so stick with us!

Three-Tier Birthday Cake by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Base Layer Birthday Cake

Using a nesting round paper mache box set, I primed with Gesso and painted all the layers with white acrylic. Let’s start from the bottom layer…

Randomly place both sizes (small and regular) of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix around the bottom layer. Using a combination of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, I went around and foiled the foam circles.

Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I removed the top liner of a 3D Foam Circle White, took a small piece of foil, placed it over the exposed adhesive, and gently rubbed it to transfer the color to the circle. Do this one by one until you get your desired look.

Creative Photo Corner Cake Border

I wanted to add a cake border to each layer to make an elegant accent. So, I created different sizes of wreaths with Creative Photo Corners Gold, and Creative Photo Corners White. I used craft dies to cut rings as bases and tuck photo corners to create a ring. See the Joy Wreath tutorial for details. I placed the largest white corner wreath on the top of the base cake layer, securing it with Adhesive Lines.

Middle Layer Birthday Cake

The sides of the middle layer of the birthday cake were covered with Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. Designer’s Note: use the rounded tip of the bone folder to help apply the Adhesive Sheets. Next, use the foiling steps to cover the sides with the chunky gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors (remember the color side facing you!).

I cut the 3D Foam Circle Frames White in half for the rainbows. Next, I used alternating arches to create my rainbows (you can get two rainbows from a half sheet). Repeat the foiling steps with the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors.

For the larger rainbows, a small heart from the 3D Foam Hearts was centered at the bottom and foiled with the purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. To finish, I added the gold wreath with Adhesive Lines to the top of the middle layer for its border.

Top Layer

Place 14 3D Foam Strips on the sides of the top layer. First, I placed strips in quarter areas of the layer and then worked my way until I got my desired design. Next, take the liners off and cover them with pink glitter. Press into the foam to secure, and tap off the excess. Designer’s Tip: if the glitter doesn’t want to come off, brush it off with a soft paintbrush.

Add the pennants from the 3D Foam Pennants in between the glittered strips. Trim the sides if it doesn’t fit. Repeat the foiling steps with the green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors.

Secure the smaller white wreaths on the top with Adhesive Lines. Center the small heart from the 3D Foam Hearts on the smallest photo corner wreath. I used a small circle shape to create this wreath. Foil it with purple foil. Add a large foam circle from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the foiled heart.

Foil the foam circle with the chunky gold foil. Add two large foam circles on the back of the smallest wreath…but…when I placed the wreath on the top, it looked too small. I replaced it with a large heart from the 3D Foam Hearts. Foiled in pink and added the purple heart. Now it’s done!

I hope you enjoyed my “no calorie” Three-Tier Birthday Cake Tutorial. LOL! Happy 20th, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!! Thanks for coming by 🙂

Summer Sunshine Card

Posted on August 5, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Summer Sunshine Card. I made this card to celebrate the sunny summer season. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I was able to create a wave accent. Let’s get in a sunny mood and make this card.

Summer Sunshine Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Summer Sunshine Card Panel

Trim a piece of white cardstock to a rectangular size to create a card panel. Ink a pink circle with an ink blending tool on the panel. Place a few 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the “Sunshine” sticker and center it on the inked panel.

By lifting the sentiment sticker, you create a lovely interest in your card. Use other sticker designs to finish the panel design with a combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This gives you a variety of height in the design, and what a great way to use your sticker sheet!

Make a Card Base

First, adhere the top card panel on a pink cardstock mat with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base, again using the same adhesive.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Dual Tip Glen Pen

To create the wave border, I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique which takes the adhesive from between layers to make embellishments. With the fine tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen, draw a couple of wave designs at the bottom of the card panel. Cover with sea green glitter and tap off any excess. Then let it dry thoroughly.

Once dried, the Summer Sunshine Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a happy summer crafting.

Watermelon Card Duo

Posted on August 3, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Happy National Watermelon Day! To commemorate, I created a Watermelon Card Duo featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside concept with the 3D Foam Garden Shapes and the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser. Hi, Margie here today, and let me show you my process!

Watermelon Card Duo by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Watermelon Card Design Idea

I used the same color cardstock for both cards, which is a great excuse to use my cardstock stash. LOL! The card front designs are similar in style, but the technique is slightly different. Both card panels were popped up with Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft.

Sending Love Card Panel

This card is a little more of a CAS (clean and simple) style of the two cards. In case, I wanted to change my mind, I used the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. It gives the papers enough adhesive but can be pulled off without damaging the surface…you can rub off the dots and reapply. It ended up being my adhesive of choice to secure both cards.

Starting with the dark green cardstock, I cut it on an angle and secured it with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser on the light green cardstock. Next, I made an angle cut on the light green and the cream cardstock.

On a 4 x 5.25-inch red cardstock panel, I adhered the cream/green watermelon rind with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser.

Card Panel Design

Using the raindrops from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes as watermelon seeds, I randomly place them on the red part of the card panel. Make sure to leave enough space for the sentiment strip. I used the 3D Foam Strips to lift the sentiment from the panel.

Assemble the Card

For more pop, I placed several strips of the Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. on the back of the card panel and centered it on a 4.25 x 5.5-inch dark red card base.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Garden Shapes

Once the card panel is adhered, I take the top liner off each seed (one at a time) and place a cut piece of black foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors over the exposed adhesive. Make sure the color side is facing you, gently rub the foil with your fingertip to transfer the color, and peel off the reveal. Any missed areas can be reapplied with foil.

Hi There Card Design

The second one is the same steps with the exception on how to create the watermelon rind. Instead of angle-cutting the layers, I tore each of the edges for a distressed look. The sentiment strip was secured with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser which is a thin 1/8-inch width white double-sided adhesive. Perfect for narrow areas 🙂

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

For this card, I used the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser to create cute seeds 🙂 Randomly apply the double-sided adhesive hearts on the card panel. Next, repeat the foiling steps, using a small piece of pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Couldn’t help myself…I added a heart by the sentiment too! LOL!

Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card

Posted on August 1, 2024 by Lara Scott

Hi, Lara here today with a CAS (clean and simple) style card, Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card. My neck has been stiff which makes it hard to sit for long. So, I choose to create a CAS card. Hopefully, the neck issue will be resolved in the next few weeks so I can return to making more projects 🙂

Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gather Up Products Used for the Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card

Gathering up supplies for the Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card. Included are E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Circle Frames White, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors, and the Dual Tip Glue Pen (not pictured).

Create the Card Base and Front

Fold in half a piece of 6.25 x 9″ black cardstock to create a 6.25 x 4.5″ card base. Cut a piece of 6 x 4.25″ patterned paper for the card panel. Adhere it to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then place the label down with the same adhesive.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames

Center the largest circle frame from the 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the label. Remove the liner and place the fine glitter foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors on top. Make sure the foil color is facing you. Gently rub the foil into the frame to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the result! Missed areas can be reapplied with a clean foil. This Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique has given me a lot of ideas 😉
