Poppy & Pear Card Trio

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Shannon Allor

Hi, Shannon here today! I love having handmade cards on hand. So to add to my stash, I created these Poppy & Pear Card Trio with some scraps from my stash. The bright mix of patterned papers with a bit of neutral florals makes me happy!

Poppy & Pear Card Trio by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Create the Card Trio Bases

Choose three gorgeous patterns with equal beauty on both sides and trim the papers to 4.5″ x 10″. Next, score and fold them in half. To add a bit of interest, I love to use my edge punches so I used this older punch. Now we can see some of the pattern from the inside!

I think that the card trio looks super cute with the corners rounded. I used my corner rounder punch for the final step on my card bases.

Let’s Decorate

This collection has gorgeous neutral florals. I fussy cut some of the florals out of the patterned papers to layer them on the fussy cut frame pieces. Next, I popped the florals up with 3D Foam Strips and 3D Foam Squares. The little frames are adhered nicely with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

It’s time to add cute sentiments! Double stack the 3D Foam Squares to pop up my 3D Foam Hearts. I covered the 3D Foam Hearts with Metallic Foil Sheets in Pastel. Remember to face the color side towards you. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the 3D Foam Hearts.

Daisy Thank You Card

Posted on May 25, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hello, and welcome to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog! This is Jingle here with you today and I have a super fun Daisy Thank You Card that packs a lot of punch to share!

Daisy Thank You Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Daisy Thank You Background

In creating this design, I ink blended on a cardstock panel and then die-cut it for added texture. Diecutting it made it a bit tricky to adhere, but I knew just the right adhesive to make it work brilliantly! I chose the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to cover the entire background panel with adhesive. Then I carefully adhered it to my card base. It worked perfectly!

Die-Cut Elements

After I inked my stems, adhere them to the card front with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. Next, I used the same to layer the sentiment over the stems. Finally, I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White to adhere the flowers to give them some extra dimension. These sheets can be cut easily with non-stick scissors, punch or die-cutting for a custom shape.

This was such a fun Daisy Thank You Card to create and it came together so easily using these fantastic products!

Ink Resist Backgrounds With Glue Technique

Posted on May 23, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like to make your inky background papers for handmade cards? Teri here to show you how to pull off a fun DIY Ink Resist Technique with the Dual Tip Glue Pen!

Ink Resist Backgrounds With Glue Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Ink Resist Technique Starts with Glue Circles

You’ll want to start with a card panel of cardstock. I suggest creating a couple of panels so you can make multiple backgrounds at one time.

Squirt Dual Tip Glue Pen onto a scrap piece of paper. Use the end of a paper towel core to pick up the glue and stamp it on the card panel. Repeat this process until you get the desired pattern. Let the panel dry overnight.

Adding Inks

Once the panel is dry, blend ink onto it. You can add as many ink colors as you want. Be sure to apply a lot of ink so your stamping shows up.

When your panel is covered with ink, take a paper towel or dry rag and rub over the panel. Buff off any ink that is left on the glue design!

Layers for The Card Front

Adhere the ink resist card panel to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Next, cut a panel of vellum to fit onto the card front. For accent, we are using the Creative Photo Corners White. First, snip off the bottom of four Creative Photo Corners with scissors and place the corners on each corner of the vellum panel.

Apply E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser onto your card front so the vellum stays put. Then add the vellum to the card front.

The Sentiment

Stamp and die-cut a sentiment from cardstock. I like to apply 3D Foam to the back of my sentiments for interest and to stand out. I used the 3D Foam Strips for this Ink Resist Card because they are long and thin. Use one or several at a time, and you can cut them with scissors to make them smaller.

Embellish your card by adding a 3D Foam Shape (or two) and cover them with foil like our Metallic Transfer Foil, flock, glitter, and others. I used flock material for a soft look. Remove the top liner, cover with the flock, press to secure, and tap off excess. Done!

Complete your card by adding a few sequins or gems to it.

Variation From the First Card

Using this resist technique, you can make all kinds of backgrounds. Each one can be used to create a unique card. This card was made the same way as the first. The only difference is I applied the ink more randomly over the stamped circle.

I hope you are inspired to give this Ink Resist technique a try! Let me know if you do!

Happy Creating!

Simple and Delicate Sympathy Card

Posted on May 21, 2024 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing a Simple Sympathy Card I created using just a few easy steps. Here are all of the crafty details.

Simple and Delicate Sympathy Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

Start this simple sympathy card by cutting the base layers for the card. Cut a white cardstock A2 card base. Next, cut a piece of 4 x 5.25-inch glitter cardstock, and another piece of white cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inch. Add Creative Photo Corners White to the corners of the white cardstock piece and adhere to the glitter cardstock layer using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Adhere both layers to the card base, using again the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock using black ink. Then die cut out the sentiment using a decorative die. Die cut the next larger decorative layer for the Simple Sympathy Card from glitter cardstock. Adhere the sentiment piece to the glitter cardstock using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Adhere the decorative pieces to the Simple Sympathy Card, card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. The final touch was to add some pearls around the decorative die cut pieces.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Heartfelt Love Doily Card

Posted on May 19, 2024 by Liz Ketter

Hi, Liz here today! My next card in my Heartfelt series is a card that is all about Love. I like to send “Love” cards to my family and friends just to remind them how much I love them! This Love Doily Card is another simple card to make. Just paper, stickers, adhesives and a small doily. You can easily change out what I used with elements from your stash. Let’s get to the tutorial!

Heartfelt Love Doily Card by Liz Ketter for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gather Your Card Elements

On this card I am creating a layered base. You will need two panels to cover the base. One panel 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and a second panel 5 1/4″ x 4″. Then two panels to create the vertical band. One panel 3″ x 4″ and a second panel 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4.” Be sure to pay attention to the paper design and keep the pattern going in the direction you want it to when you cut out the panels. Then gather various sizes of doilies and stickers.

Create the Panel Layers

Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser layer the bottom base panel on the card base and then the second layer centered over the first layer. Create your vertical band by adhering and centering the smaller panel over the larger panel. Set this vertical panel aside.

Add Dimension

Using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix attach the vertical band to the center of the card base. I like these foam squares as the paper backing is easy to take off of the squares. Then adhere the doily to the vertical band using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Final Items

Attach the large heart sticker to the doily using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and then pop-up the love sticker using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Now you are done!

That is it! Now wasn’t that easy? I hope this simple Love Doily Card tutorial has inspired you to create!

Glitter Drip Birthday Card

Posted on May 17, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here sharing a Glitter Drip Birthday Card. I made this glitter drip element using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

Glitter Drip Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wanna join me in creating the card? Let’s get started!

Glittered Drip Card Panel

Die-cut a postage-shaped card panel from black cardstock. Hold it upright and apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen from the panel’s top. Let the glue run down to create the drip effect.

Next, cover the drip with sea blue glitter, and tap off the excess.

Set it aside to dry thoroughly. This technique of making your adhesive shine is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Card Base

Once dried, mat the Glitter Drip card panel onto a piece of patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Using the same runner, adhere onto a white card base.

Add the Embellishments

To anchor the embellishments, I used a beautiful frame. Using 3D Foam Strips Black, I lifted the frame on the card front. These strips are 1/8″ in width and are perfect for those narrow areas of an element.

The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere foam flowers and mulberry leaves inside the frame. Finally, I secured a sentiment banner with 3D Foam Strips Black.

Voilá, your Glitter Drip Birthday Card is ready. Wishing you happy crafting!

Travel Tag Trio

Posted on May 15, 2024 by Lara Scott

Hey Y’all, Lara here again with a great Travel Tag Trio set that was super easy to create! You can make these tags as simple or detailed as you want. Use up those scraps! Or any other odds and ends you might have around. Depending on your tags’ details, they can take 5-30 minutes each. They are also great for kids’ projects.

Travel Tag Trio by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Travel Tag Backgrounds

All three tags are approximately 6.25 x 3.125″ but you can make your own by cutting out a tag shape or using a die-cut machine to create your own. The process for each tag started the same. Each was covered with patterned paper and secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then I added a little coordinating extra 3/8″ wide strip on the top of the tag, punched a hole, and added gold foil hole reinforcers that I designed and cut out on my electronic cutting machine.

Travel Tag #1 – Lost and Found

This was probably the most detailed tag since I hand-lettered and used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with foil. On a piece of 2.5 x 5″grid paper, I hand-wrote the quote “The Best Way to be Lost and Found at the Same Time.” Then added another piece of striped paper across the bottom part of the grid paper. Designer’s Tip: Use this piece from the marketing strip on the bottom of the paper.

For the flowers, I used them from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes. After placing them on the tag, remove the top liner and place a piece of fine glitter gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors over the exposed adhesive. Make sure the color side is facing you. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the flowers. Add a little bling, tie on a piece of ribbon, and add a few stickers and you have a great gift tag or embellishment for a travel scrapbook page or mini book.

Travel Tag #2 – Go

Travel Tag #2 includes simple stamping and layering of a piece of white cardstock cut to 2.5 x 4.75″ with a few hand-drawn lines. Cut out a small banner from light blue cardstock and add a sticker. Cut out the globe from one of the label papers, and add some dimension with 3D Foam Squares White Small. Then place the letter stickers to spell Go. After adding a few stickers and some ribbon, it is done!

Travel Tag #3 – Weekend Vibes

Tag #3 is probably the most simple. Cut out the Weekend Vibes from a label paper and add to the tag with Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. Stamp on two gold foil chipboard labels, adhere to the tag, and trim off the excess. Add a gold star and some ribbon and you have a great little tag that takes about five minutes. I think it took me longer to decide what to put on the tags than to make them.

A Few More Views

I had never done the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique before with the 3D Foam Shapes and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets. It was fun and I will incorporate that concept in future projects. So be on the lookout!

Hearts & Floral Gift Card Trio

Posted on May 14, 2024 by Shannon Allor

Hi, Shannon here today! I am bringing you this fun project, Hearts & Floral Gift Card Trio, featuring the “Adhesive On the Outside” Technique! I grabbed a bunch of scraps from the American Crafts “Poppy & Pear” and some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L products!

Hearts & Floral Gift Card Trio by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gift Card Trio Base

For the base, cut three 7.5 x 3″ patterned paper pieces. Be sure that the patterns are pleasing to the eye on both sides. Score with the long side up (7.5″ side) on a scoreboard at 2″ and 5″. Then crease the lines with a bone folder.

For each base, I cut three different flap closures (rounded corners, rounded flap end, and scalloped edge). For two of the base, I created two slits with a craft knife to fit the gift cards. The third one, I plan to secure the gift card with an Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

I wanted to see how well the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small in White would work with a one-inch heart punch. It was so easy and cut like butter! Next, I removed one of the liners and centered each foam heart on the flap end of the gift card holder (front side), positioning the tip of the heart over the edge.

Now for the fun part, the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique! Peel off the top liner of the punched foam heart, and place the foil from the Metallic Transfer Sheets in Pastel with the color side facing you. Then lightly burnish it with your fingertip to transfer the color. It adheres to the foam shape with ease. Don’t worry if you miss a spot. Just reapply the foil to fill in the missing area.

Next, I punched out from a patterned paper scrap and attached it to the back side of the heart with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. This was perfect to finish off the exposed side of the hearts!

Belly Bands for Gift Card Trio

I’ve created little belly bands using a contrasting pattern for each. Start with a one-inch strip and fold it around the gift card holder. Apply just a small amount of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips adhesive to hold the ends together. To pop up a sentiment or floral element in the bands, I used several 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Welcome to the World Card

Posted on May 12, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hello, friends! This is Jingle here today with a super fun Welcome to the World Card for a special little one! I used fantastic papers and stickers from PhotoPlay Paper, along with my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L favorites, to make this simple design come to life.

Welcome to the World Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Welcome to the World Card Layers

Create a white card base. Trim the star patterned paper slightly smaller than the base and adhere with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. I love this adhesive because it gives you a little time to reposition if you need it. Also, it stays flat beneath thinner papers and doesn’t show through!

Adding Elements

This next step is super fun! Create elements with stickers. Grab a powder tool (or just some cornstarch and a small brush) and dust the back of the stickers you want to use on your card. This eliminates their stickiness. Now you can use an adhesive of your choice.

After the stickers were dusted, I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix which allows for dimension and interest to the design!

To anchor the sticker elements, I centered a plaid panel on the card front with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. Next, adhere the foam-backed stickers onto the plaid panel.

Finishing Touches

To finish, let’s add a little sparkle! Adhere a black strip of cardstock to the card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. To adhere the small smoke colored gems to the card, I used dots of Dual Tip Glue Pen.

This truly is a fun card to create! I hope you have enjoyed my process with this sweet Welcome to the World Card.

Thankful Shaker Card

Posted on May 11, 2024 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet little Thankful Shaker Card to share. Follow along for all of the crafty details.

Thankful Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

Let’s cut all of my card front layers. I have the pre-cut card base so I need a yellow cardstock piece for inside the card. Then the purple patterned piece for the card panel and a pink cardstock for the card front of the Thankful Shaker Card.

Adhere the inside yellow cardstock and the purple patterned paper to the card using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. I added a Creative Photo Corners White on each corner of the pink cardstock before securing it to the card front with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This gives the front stability when die-cutting in the next step.

Die-cut a hole out of the card front to match the pre-cut card base. Add the scalloped sticker around the shaker opening. Next filler the shaker cup with the Spring Mix Upz. Add the self-adhesive shaker cup inside the card using the card front opening as a guide.
