Who wouldn’t break into a smile after receiving such a cute elephant card? No sentiment is added to this layered card so it’s suitable for lots of occasions such as a birthday or just to cheer up! Hello everyone, Yvonne here with a super cute stamped elephant card, all easily assembled together with quality products by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

I have used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser for adhering all layers to the card base. For dimension, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Adhesive Dots for super easy adhering of embellishments like the bow, pearls, and rhinestones.

Layering Up a Cute Elephant Card:

Mount a piece of patterned cardstock onto blue cardstock using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere the layered panel to a white card base.

Lift the yellow release paper of the Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch and place a piece of silver cardstock on top. Trim the silver cardstock to the size of the etched die you are going to use. Then die-cut the etched die with the silver cardstock. Remove the release paper and place the frame on the card.

Stamp and color the elephant image onto white cardstock and then die-cut with a rectangle shape etched die. Adhere the rectangle die cut to the card using the E-Z Runner®Grand Refillable Dispenser.

I have lots of non-adhesive rhinestones and pearls laying around waiting to be used. Simply secure them using Adhesive Dots Micro! Pick up a stone with tweezers and then adhere (the back of the stone) to an Adhesive Dot. Tip: tweezers are also great for precise placement of the stones.

For the bow I used Adhesive Dots Medium, this prevents shiny glue stains through the ribbon!

Glitter Cupcake Birthday Card

Posted on May 21, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet and simple birthday card to share that packs a punch. This card started with the super cute 3D Foam Cupcakes. They were ALL the inspiration I needed, so many possibilities. Here are all of the details:

Making a Sweet Card

To start I adhered the 3D Foam Cupcake, and all of it’s inner bits to the piece of white cardstock I was using on my card. It’s easiest to cut the card layers before doing anything else.

The first glitter I added was the highlight in the frosting of the cupcake. Simply peel just that section away, then add the plain white glitter.

Next I used a craft knife to cut the edge of the frosting, and removed the remainder of the frosting section and added the taupe glitter.

After the frosting, then I removed the inner cupcake wrapper sections. I used a darker teal glitter for this, and then after removing the remaining protective covering, add the light teal glitter.

Add pink/red glitter to the cherry separately and adhere to the card with the help of 3D Foam Squares White Mix in small (1/4″).

Add the white cardstock with the cupcake to the next layer using 3D Foam Squares. I added Creative Photo Corners White and ribbon to the yellow patterned layer of my card and adhered it to the base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Finally I added the matted cupcake to the card using Crafty Foam Tape.

Flamazing Birthday Box Card

Posted on May 20, 2018 by Valerie Ward

Hello Crafters! For today’s project, I will share how to make a really cute dimensional box card! The die set that I am using comes with all the elements to construct this card plus a fun flamingo die set to embellish 🙂

Flamazing Birthday Box Card by Valerie Ward for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Step 1 – Box Side Panels

Die-cut two of the main pieces (side panels). With one of the die cuts, die-cut a rectangle from the set to create your window (this will be the front of your card). You will also die-cut the two smaller side panels with plaid patterned papers.

Using the E-Z Runner adhesive, adhere the smaller side panels onto the larger pieces as shown in the image. Afterward, make crisp creases using the bone folders to all the scored lines.

Step 2 – Assembly

Now we’re going to assemble the box using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Apply a thin line of clear glue onto the side flaps. I love that there are two tip options with this Dual Tip Glue Pen. The other tip is a 1/2 inch wide brush for larger applications.

Next, fold up the panels and attach the flaps by folding the ends together to create one box shape.

Step 3 – Making Inside Back Panel

Trim approximately 3.25 x 2.75″ piece of paper (same size as the inside back panel of the card) and create a scene of your choice (mine was the ocean). I had a palm tree die cut made from that fun flamingo die set and adhered it with the Dual Tip Glue Pen onto the scene. Finally, glue the scene onto the inside back panel.

Step 4 – Layered Grass Hills inside the Box

Let’s bring this card to life! Die-cut both the hill shape dies provided in the card die set with white cardstock and color them with markers.

Taking a bone folder, fold the end flaps toward the back and away from you.

Apply E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine to the flaps and attach them to the inside to build your scene.

Step 5 – Dimensional Flamingos

What a fun addition of flamingos to the card! I gave their wings dimension using 3D Foam Squares Small White. Perfect!

Step 6 – Elements on the Outside

With my Adhesive Dots Micro, I attached the flowers to the side panels. Adding a little spring to my card 🙂

On the back side of the card, I decided to create a spring scene by stamping a sentiment and attaching elements with my Adhesive Dots Micro.

The Completed Card

Love that the card folds up completely flat so it can be out into a standard A2 sized envelope!

Here is the front view:

The view from the top:

As you move the card around, it’s fun to see the different elements inside!

Then an element of surprise as you discover the sentiment and another scene on the back!

These are the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products I used for this project. Note that I have the Thin 3D Foam Squares pictured. If you wanted less bulk, these would be a perfect solution! They are half the thickness than our 3D Foam Squares!

Thank you for stopping by; I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting!
