Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Springtime Birthday card. Applying thin die cuts can often be tricky but they are no longer a problem with Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6″.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I’d like to share a card that has a dimension in my background and in my embellishment, using our 3D Foam products. LOVE how it turned out!
Hexie Shamrock Card Tutorial
This green collection is the perfect pattern to use for this occasion. I cut about 26 Hexagons from my die and edged them with green ink for a subtle look. I ended up using 24 but I wanted a choice of patterns 😉
Once I cut and inked them up, I placed the die cuts on top of my A2-sized (5.50 x 4.25″) card base.
After all were secured them down, trim off the excess and your card base is done.
Embellishing Details
Now to embellish! I cut a rectangle shape from green patterned paper and cut another a little larger to the mat with gold mirror cardstock. I adhered them together with E-Z Runner® Grand.
To create my gold shamrock, I took four 3D Foam Hearts and placed them on top of my matted rectangle. Remove the top liner to sprinkle gold glitter on top. Press firmly to make sure they are stuck on well. Shake off excess.
To anchor my embellished shamrock, I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ as a ribbon by adhering right down my card base. After taking off the liner, I sprinkled glitter. press down and dust off the excess.
For these wonderful sequins and gems, I used the Adhesive Dots Small to adhere to the card front. These adhesive dots are perfect for many sizes of embellishment – we have six sizes of Adhesive Dots!

Hello, AJ here today with a card I created with leftovers from a die cover plate. While the pieces were all still intact in the die, I quickly added a light dot of liquid adhesive from our Dual Tip Glue Pen to each little piece.
Then I adhered to the white card panel. I didn’t want to waste all the pretty little mirrored pieces, and it worked out perfectly for a second card!
To finish the card off, I stamped a butterfly and sentiment. Then popped it up with a few 3D Foam Squares, and adhered a few sequins using our Adhesive Dots Mini.
Do you ever thought to use your leftovers for a second project? Give it try in your next card project.
Hi all, it’s Amy here with a Spring themed, tag embellished card. I was at my local stamp shop this weekend and was reminded how much I love pale blue and green teamed up.
Here’s a peek at some of my supplies:
I’m a big fan of buying pre-scored note cards. Sometimes with the colored cards, I cut them in half so I have 2 panels to work with.
I ended up trimming down one of the panels and mounted it on a green panel with my E-Z Runner® Permanent.
I stamped my sentiment on the die cut tag.
Then I added the tag to the card base, lining up the images. For visual interest I adhered it with 3D Foam Squares and finished it off with coordinating ribbon.
The tilted tag adds more detail to the overall card design.
I wanted to thank you all for the awesome comments on my projects. Today is my last post with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I’ve had such a wonderful time being on the team! I’m constantly amazed by the fabulous design team.
Here are a couple of my favorite projects that I’ve posted:
Hello Friends!! Latisha here with you today, sharing a fun way to gift a bottle of wine with a tag created with 3D Foam Squares, Gauze and Twine.
The Gauze was the perfect medium to create a textured bow, so i wrapped it around the neck of the wine bottle and created a bow.
Next I created a tag with Webster Pages die cuts and project life pieces. Layer the tag and die cuts with 3D Foam Squares White, Regular, and then tie to the gauze using the Twine.
With a few simple materials, it really can take a gift from blah to wow! The Gauze really is so pretty and takes gift wrapping to the next level.
Hey there friends! Michele here with a fun, springy card! I’ve been on a coloring kick lately and couldn’t resist this image. In addition, I added sequins, held in place with Adhesive Dots Mini. They are PERFECT for keeping ’em right where you want them!
The layers were put together using Crafty Foam Tape White. This is definitely one of my “go-to” products! It adds nice dimension without making the card too bulky.
I tied green ribbon vertically and used a Adhesive Dots Medium to hold the knot in place. The top of the ribbon kept flopping down, so I used a Adhesive Dots Mini to keep it up. 🙂
As I mentioned in past posts, I love to use Adhesive Sheets for intricate dies. This makes materials with fine details quick, easy and mess-free. Before die-cutting the shape remove the yellow backing and attach the adhesive to the back of the paper you want to die-cut.
Then, simply run through your die-cutting machine and remove the paper backing. On today’s design, I used this process for both the doily die-cut and the brown layer of the butterfly.
Once the doily was die-cut I attached it to a kraft die-cut tag and trimmed the edges as shown below.
Next, I stamped the sentiment onto the tag.
I die-cut the bottom butterfly layer from orange patterned paper and the top layer from brown cardstock. For the top layer, I once again attached Adhesive Sheets to the back before die-cutting then simply peeled the backing off and attached to the orange layer.
I then attached the layered butterfly to the tag using Foam Squares Mix White. This is the second of my favorite products because it adds just the right amount of interest to projects by enhancing the 3D look of the layers.
I ran lace and ric-rac through the hole of the tag. I then threaded the button with twine and attached it over the hole using Adhesive Dots 3D.
The thing I love about these adhesive dots is their ability to hold thick or heavy items firmly to a project. The round shape and size variety is also a plus for attaching buttons, sequins, flat-backed pearls and rhinestones.
Finally, I embellished the tag with rhinestones and there you have it — Quick, easy and filled with little details thanks to the help of the great line of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today. I am showing you four favorite ways to decorate our 3D Foam Shapes. I will use 3D Foam Hearts to demonstrate the use of foil, embossing powder, glitter and gilding flakes.
Let’s get started… Glitter: Spread the glitter over the heart and press. Remove excess. Flakes: Take the flakes and press them down onto the 3D Foam Heart. Remove excess. Heat Embossing: Sprinkle embossing powder (I used gold – so pretty!) over the heart, remove excess and heat it directly. Did you know our foam is heat resistant? Foil: Apply foil sheet over the heart and peel off. (I used our red foil – coming soon!)
Hello Good Friends! It’s Judy here today. I’m sharing a Good Friends Mini Canvas created just for you withArt Medium, Lace Ribbons and Adhesive Dots 3D and Adhesive Dots Medium. I enjoy making little canvases like this for special friends. It’s tiny yet says a lot!
I started this Good Friends canvas by attaching the Lace Ribbons around the edge of a 3 x 4ʺ canvas using Art Medium. It works really well as a glue!
Next, I stamped the verse on white tissue paper with black ink and clear heat embossed it. I painted the canvas including Lace Ribbon with chalk paint. I brushed on another layer of paint on front and placed the tissue paper with verse over the wet paint. I smoothed in place and then carefully tore off the excess at the edges. I lightly brushed paint over the tissue and around the verse, even lightly brushing over it. A very light rubbing with a damp paper towel removed any paint that covered the verse.
I sponged on a bit of Distress Oxide inks around the verse. I also sponged on Fired Brick Oxide ink lightly over the Lace Ribbon. Then I fastened twine around the Lace Ribbon using Art Medium to fasten it.
The flowers were cut from Kraft cardstock sponged with Distress Oxide inks: Broken China, Iced Spruce, Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber, and Peeled Paint. (Fossilized Amber not shown in the photo)
Once the flowers were rolled, I used Adhesive Dots 3D to fasten the bigger flowers together and Adhesive Dots Medium for the smaller ones. The Adhesive Dots make it so easy to put together these little flowers!
I started by cutting a 4.25″ x 5.25″ rectangle from pattern paper and adhered it using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips to my card base. I then cut three strips of patterned paper of various sizes and adhered those horizontally using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips to my base piece of patterned paper.
Next, I adhered my sentiment using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. I finished my card with a flower, ribbon, enamel dots and a few small embellishments, I adhered each with a combination of Adhesive Dots Mini and Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin (coming soon!).
