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!).

Today I made a very special card for a special lady – my mom! Happy Birthday!! Along with loads of dimension, I used Adhesive Dots Small and glitter to create a sparkly flower center. Would you use this technique? Give it a try!
Let’s start with the flower die cuts. I die-cut, embossed and then stencil through the die with ink to highlight its embossed design.
Next I embossed a 4.0 x 5.25 inch piece of dark pink cardstock with an embossing folder to make my A2-sized (4.25 x 5.50 inch) card panel. Cut and embossed a leafy vine in green cardstock.
I wanted a different kind of dimension so I cut the dark pink card panel one third from the bottom to leave space in between to stamp my sentiment. Using Crafty Foam Tape – Black, it give the panels a lift.
Using the two piece card panel as my guide, I lined up the sentiment in my stamp placement tool for a perfect imprint.
Now my favorite part! Making those glittery flower centers 🙂 I placed an Adhesive Dots Small in the center, rub and lift off liner gently. Then pour on the glitter over the adhesive dot, press and shake off excess. SUPER EASY + FAST!

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a decorated gift bag. A regular Kraft sandwich bag it is so easy to embellish with layers using Scrapbook Adhesives products.
Hello, it’s Amy here, Happy March! Whether you like to design clean and simple or multilayers, a combination of E-Z Runner Permanent and 3D Foam Squares will work for you.
This looks like a relatively clean and simple design but the portal window actually consists of 4 layers. The E-Z Runner Permanent is easy to control in small spaces, like the rim of the window.
Here’s a peek at my supplies:
The base of my window is the panel with the sailboat and waves. I started with that first and then die cut it into a circle. My second layer are the otters. I adhered them with the E-Z Runner Permanent onto the sailboat layer.
I used the E-Z Runner Permanent to adhere the front of the portal window (the one with the circles) to the back of the portal window which is a white panel to coordinate with my card base. When those were attached to each other I used the E-Z Runner Permanent to adhere it to the stamped panels
The window was then adhered to the cardbase with 3D Foam Squares.
That’s it for me today. I hope you have a great rest of the week!
Amy

I’ve used Adhesive Dots Medium to assemble the flower and also to hold the greenery in place. The flower is die cut from the same color cardstock as the greenery and colored with inks! The blue strips peaking from behind the texture ribbon is same sage paper inked with blue. An Adhesive Dots 3D pops up the flower. It’s layered over a piece of lace ribbon and texture ribbons plus loops of twine. I’ve inked the texture ribbon to add color. Several Adhesive Dots Medium hidden behind the flower and one at the end hold the lace ribbon onto the texture ribbon. I’ve used Premium Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ to fasten the texture ribbon to strips of inked cardstock on each edge. It holds well on the fabric. I’ve created the background paper with inks, stencils and script stamp. It’s fastened to the top fold card with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. My favorite adhesive! It goes on so easy and holds great! The greeting and verse are popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White.
How about a cute gift card box instead of a basket and I’m using 3D Foam Squares, Extreme Double Sided Tape. and Dual Tip Glue Pen to put it all together. Hello there friends, Latisha here with you. Today, I am sharing a fun way to present a gift card for Easter.
Creating an Adorable Easter Gift Card Box
First, I grab patterned paper and felt for die-cutting shapes. Then I gather adhesives and ribbon to start putting it all together.
