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 😉

The Sentiment

Cut out the letters with black cardstock and letter dies. Make sure they fit inside the circle frame. Once I committed, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I hope you enjoyed my CAS Foiled Circle Frame Hello Card. Thanks for visiting and Happy Creating!

Metallic Stripes Card

Posted on July 29, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Here’s a shiny Metallic Stripes Card that’s easy to make and easily adaptable to other occasions. It features Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors with Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to make the shiny stripes. So fun to make!

Metallic Stripes Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Metallic Stripes Card Base

The card base will be a mini slimline card. First, cut a piece of 5.75 x 6.5-inch white texture cardstock. Next, fold to form a 3.25 x 5.75-inch side fold card base.

Stripes Panel

Cut a piece of 1.375 x 4.125 inches from black cardstock for the metallic stripes’ base. And a piece of 1.625 x 4.375-inch black cardstock for a card mat.

Place three strips of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. on a black cardstock base, along each long edge and one in the center. Trim ends of the foam even with cardstock

At one end of the stripes panel, partially peel back liners. Designer Tip: Start from the bottom of the panel.

Place the edge of a foil sheet from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors at an angle across Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. strips. Remember to face the foil color toward you. Return the liners over the foil and press to transfer the color to the stripes. Remove the foil.

Continue this process with alternating colors of foil. The colors I used are pink, yellow, blue, green, and lavender. Designer Tip: To keep the same angle of foil stripes, hold the foil above and align it with the previously applied foil, then move it up and press in place. Repeat.)

Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back stripe base, and secure it on the black mat. Next, apply the same adhesive to the back of the matted stripes and attach it to the card front.

Prepare Greeting

Stamp the greeting on a piece of black cardstock with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder.

Use the coordinating die and die-cut the greeting.

Cut and place a piece of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to the back of the greeting, peel the liners off, and adhere over the metallic stripes towards the bottom of the card panel of the card front.

All finished! So easy and fun…give it a try!

Hooray for Rainbows!

Posted on July 25, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today and I am super excited about this Hooray for Rainbows Card today! Why? Well, because my five-year-old inspired it! The other day, he came to me and said, “Mama, I want to use your foil to create a rainbow. What can I use for the sticky parts to do that?” Well, naturally, I quickly jumped in to find the perfect solution! And then I just HAD to create my own foiled rainbow card, as well!

Hooray for Rainbows Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hooray for Rainbows Card Design

So, what was that perfect solution, you ask? Well, I pulled out the 3D Foam Circle Frames White to get the perfect rainbow look! First, I simply cut the entire sheet of circles in half, while they are still on the release paper. This makes it easy to share with a kiddo or friend, too!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foils

I then carefully lifted the release paper from each rainbow arch, working a single color at a time, and added the various foils! I pulled foils from a couple of different sets. Using a combination of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, I create a colorful rainbow! Simply face the foil color towards you, gently rub it to transfer the color, and peel it off. Reapply foil in the missed areas.

After foiling the rainbow, I carefully removed it from the sheet as a whole piece and adhered it to my card front. I popped up the fun layered sentiment with 3D Foam Circles White Mix which fits perfectly just at the bottom of the rainbow.

This was such a fun design to create and I do hope you try it! If you happen to have a little one in your life, feel free to give them a shot, too! My son did an amazing job foiling each layer of his rainbow independently! Hooray!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hello Butterfly Card

Posted on July 23, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Raise your hand if you love butterflies! Teri here to show you how to make a card with lots of butterflies like my Hello Butterfly Card!

Hello Butterfly Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hello Butterfly Card Panel Background

Emboss a butterfly pattern onto a white cardstock panel. Next, blend ink onto the panel with three different colors. Adhere the panel onto a top-folded notecard with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

Place three strips of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ onto the card. Cover them with glitter. Make sure to press the glitter into the tape to secure it. Then remove the excess by tapping or brushing it off.

Adding Finishing Touches

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Cut several strips of Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft and place them on the back of the sentiment strip. Then adhere it to the card.

Adhere three 3D Foam Butterflies onto the card. Cover them with flock. If you don’t like flock, try changing their look with any of our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets. It’s a great way to add a little extra sparkle and glitz.

Finish the card by adding small embellishments to the card front using the Adhesive Dots Micro! Clay shapes, gems, or sequins are great for this.

I hope today’s tutorial inspired you. Not a Butterfly fan? Try using these techniques to create a card with hearts, stars, flowers, or other shapes!

Happy Creating!

Be Colorful Scrapbook Layout

Posted on July 21, 2024 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a bright Be Colorful Scrapbook Layout to share. Learn how quick and easy it is to create a dimensional layout packed with bright and beautiful colors. Here are all of the details.

Be Colorful Scrapbook Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

My first step is to mat the photo in white and black cardstock. Adhere these layers together using both Creative Photo Corners Black and E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This frames this sweet photo just perfectly for this bright and dimensional layout.

Next step is to add the matted photo to the background using 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black. This ensures lots of room to add dimensional embellishments around the matted photo.

Add the title piece and embellishments to background using a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Dimension between the pieces creates such a sense of space and layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dimensional Butterfly Spring Card

Posted on July 19, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Hi, Margie here today! I wanted to create a simple card but with a little piazza like this Dimensional Butterfly Spring Card featuring 3D Foam Butterflies and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Let me show you my process.

Dimensional Butterfly Spring Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Butterfly Spring Card Layers + Card Base

Gather and trim the following layers: 4 x 3-inch yellow cardstock (card panel), 4 x 3.75-inch patterned paper (panel mat), and for the card base, 4 x 12-inch yellow cardstock and fold in half for a 4 x 6-inch top-fold card.

Prepping the Card Panel

Use a hot foil plate sentiment and a piece of foil color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Following the directions on your hot foil system. Foil a sentiment on your 4 x 3-inch yellow cardstock card panel. Make sure to leave enough room to place your butterflies/dragonflies on the panel. If an overfoiling occurs, use a sand eraser.

Adhere the foiled yellow card panel to the patterned paper panel mat with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Place your 3D Foam Butterflies and Dragonflies on the yellow panel until you get your desired look.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the 3D Foam Butterflies + Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

Remove the top liner of one of the 3D Foam Butterflies or Dragonfly. Apply a piece of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top of the exposed adhesive with the foil color facing you. Gently rub the foil with your fingertips to transfer the color to the 3D Foam Butterflies. Reapply foil in missed areas. Repeat the foiling step until you’re done.

Assemble the Butterfly Spring Card

Emboss your card base with an embossing folder. Place four strips of 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back of the embellished card panel and secure it on the card base. This gives more dimension with a 1/16-inch height, and the strips don’t curl up like the rolls.

Card Base

Mat the card panel with a sea-green card panel. Next, using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere it to a white cardstock card base.
