Montana Hike Layout

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello crafty friends! It’s Kristin here to share a layout, Montana Hike Layout. Inspired by some vintage family photos, it felt special to document these family memories through scrapbooking! Using two vacation photos from the 1940s taken during a family hiking trip in Montana. The nostalgic outdoor theme paired perfectly with the P13 Hit the Road collection.

Montana Hike Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Montana Hike Background

To set the mood, I used a map patterned paper as the base of the layout. It gives the sense of adventure and complements the vintage travel photos.

The earthy tones and travel-inspired design worked beautifully with the black-and-white photos. The photo and frame were secured with my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Layer a few simple embellishments around the main photo using 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add dimension to the page.

Add Sparkly Shaker Elements

To give the layout some movement, I created three shaker elements using patterned papers with sequins in coordinating colors from my stash. Cover the window with the acetate using the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. and build a well with 3D Foam Strips around the edges of the window. Fill each with sparkling sequins before sealing it close with clear vellum with the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. and place around the Montana Hike Layout as pictured.

The shaker elements add movement, texture, and fun to the layout while still keeping the vintage travel theme intact. Plus, the sparkle contrasts beautifully with the black-and-white photos.

Finishing the Montana Hike Layout

To complete the page by adding the Montana Hike title with some white Thickers near the center of the layout. For extra hold, I always use my Dual Tip Glue Pen. For more layers and dimension, I used Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. behind additional embellishments. I love how this layout preserves these treasured family memories while combining vintage photos with modern scrapbook techniques.

Final Thoughts

If you love adding texture and depth to your scrapbook pages, foam adhesives are a wonderful way to make your embellishments stand out. They are also perfect for creating layered travel-themed layouts like this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this Montana Hike layout inspires you to document your own treasured travel memories and family photographs.

Happy scrapping! 💕✂️

Glittered Daisy Card

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a summer themed card. For my Glittered Daisy Card, I made some gorgeous daisies using the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. I would love to share how I made this happy and fun card. Will you join me?

Glittered Daisy Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glittered Daisy Card Panel

Start by punching a grass border from green cardstock and adhere it to a blue card panel using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft for a subtle lift. The height of this foam tape is 1/32″ which is half of 1/16″.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

Create sweet daisies using a combination of small and regular size circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix! Flower centers are the regular size circle and the petals are the small circles surrounding the center. Let’s embellish! Peel the liner off the flower center, cover with yellow glitter and rub the glitter into the circle to secure. Tap off excess. Next, peel the liners off of the petals and repeat the glitter steps with the white glitter. This technique to make your adhesive shine is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Mat the Glittered Daisy Card panel to a yellow panel and then on a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

The Finishing Touch

Mat the sentiment stickers on a yellow strip which I hand cut and place them onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle pop. Add a small circle from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix on both sides of the “It’s Your Day” sentiment on the grass border. Use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique by peeling off the liners and covering with yellow glitter.

And voilá, your Glittered Daisy Card is ready. Hope you enjoyed this card tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Geometric Thank You Card

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hi friends, happy Friday! Can’t believe it’s already the middle of May! Do you like to work with geometric shapes on your card designs? Leslie here sharing a geometric thank you card that I think you’ll love. The nice thing about this design is that it can be made with any geometric shape and in any color combo. And it’s another one of those cards that can be mass-produced with ease to have multiples in your stash. Let me show you this card in more detail!

Geometric Thank You Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base Details

I cut the card base from white linen cardstock at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and scored it at 4-1/4″. Next, I cut the focal panel from white linen cardstock at 4″ x 5-1/4″.

Geometric Thank You Card Focal Panel

From the rounded jewels infinity dies in my stash, I chose two sizes of dies. Also chose four colors of cardstock, and cut two small and one larger shape from each color. These were arranged on the focal panel, popping one small shape up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Accordingly, I used 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for the dark cardstock. Then I stamped a simple sentiment.

As you undoubtedly know by now, the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique is one of my favorites! Used the bronze foil in the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Simply remove the liner from the foam circle and press the foil (color side up) onto it. So easy! These created some really pretty embellishments for this design.

Card Assembly

Once the focal panel was complete, I adhered it to the front of the card base with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. Love the dimension this gives.

The E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere the layers on the inside panel. To carry the design to the inside, I incorporated two die cuts, adhering them with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Of course, I added a couple more bronze embellishments created with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Lastly, I stamped an inside sentiment, and this completed the geometric thank you card.

Fun and Dimensional Celebrate Card

Posted on May 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I made this Fun and Dimensional Celebrate Card using 3D Foam Adhesive Shapes (squares, circles, pennants and small strips) to create a pattern. Bright colors of embossing glaze cover each foam piece to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. The affect really stands out on a black background. Best of all, it’s a fun and easy card to make!

Fun and Dimensional Celebrate Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dimensional Celebrate Card Pattern

Referring to the image below, on a 3.125 x 5.5 inches black cardstock panel, peel and place small triangles in the 3D Foam Pennants slightly above center at left edge to form a curved row. Next, peel small 3D Foam Circles White Mix and place between points of a triangles. Fill each space between triangle points and at triangle point with a small circle.

Arrange a row of large 3D Foam Squares White Mix above triangles. Lastly, peel 3D Foam Strips and cut to fit vertically above row of squares.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glaze

Let’s make the embellishment truly shine with Distress Glaze and the foam pieces through the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Start with peeling the liners from small 3D Foam Circles White Mix, cover with Distress Spiced Marmalade Glaze, and shake off excess. Designer’s Tip: Use a small dry paint brush to remove any stray glaze. Heat with heat tool to melt the glaze.

Remove the liners from row of triangles and repeat the Distress Glaze steps in Peacock Feathers Glaze. Then the row of 3D Foam Squares in Picked Raspberry Glaze, the 3D Foam Strips in Twisted Citron Glaze. Heat only until glaze melts otherwise, it overheating may cause the foam pieces to curl.

Stamp Greeting

Ink stamp with Versamark ink and stamp greeting. Cover with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool.

Dimensional Celebrate Card Assembly

Cut white cardstock 8.5 x 6 inches, score and form into 4.25 x 6 inch card. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of Celebrate panel and fasten on card.

Bright Woven Layout

Posted on May 10, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and bright layout to share using a simple weaving technique. Here are all of the details on how I created this bright woven layout.

Bright Woven Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

White cardstock is the background of this layout, and that makes the bright patterns and cardstock just pop beautifully. Cut strips of patterned paper and coordinating cardstock that are 1.5×10.5. You will need 8 in total.

Lay down the strips evenly. I started by adhering one end of the horizontal strips using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Now weave the vertical pieces in. Once all pieces are set in place. Adhere all of the ends in place.

Add the chipboard frame to the chosen photo using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere the photo and decorative pieces to the background using Crafty Foam Tape Black. I use multiple layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black to give dimension between the layers of this bright woven layout.

Start adding embellishments around the matted photo. Some I adhered straight to the layout and others I attached using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Adhere the cardstock sticker title to the bottom right hand corner of the bright woven layout.

Happy Mother’s Day Film Strip Card

Posted on May 9, 2026 by Margie Higuchi

Mother’s Day is tomorrow so I am scrambling to get a card together for mom! Hi, Margie here today and I am sharing my process in creating my Happy Mother’s Day Film Strip Card so come along!

Happy Mother's Day Film Strip Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assembling the Film Strip Card Front

The card base was created by folding a 8.5 x 5.5 inch white cardstock in half to make a side-fold A2 standard card size (4.25 x 5.5 inch). Then I cut a 4.25 x 5.5 inch patterned paper panel and covered the card base front with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Die-cut a film strip die with light blue cardstock and secure it on the left side of the card front with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. I love using this adhesive tape because the dots hit the shape and skips over the gaps. Usually I use an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. but ran out – GASP! LOL! Trim off the excess film strip and set aside.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Creative Foam Sheet

Die-cut a solid butterfly with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White and a detailed butterfly from patterned paper. Cover the glitter with the solid butterfly (after removing the top liner), press to secure and tap off the excess. Set aside to create the sentiment.

Stamp the Sentiment

Using the stamp positioner, stamp the sentiment with dark brown ink on a piece of patterned paper and cut into a strip. With the glittered butterfly as a placement guide, adhere the sentiment with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on top of the film strip.

Then adhere the glittered butterfly on the side of the sentiment by removing the bottom liner and adhere the detailed butterfly with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

To finish, accent with crystal glass rhinestones using the Adhesive Dots Micro. For smaller stones, I pull the adhesive dot to smaller piece to secure.

Now it’s ready to be sent to mom! Hope you enjoy my Happy Mother’s Day Film Strip Card tutorial and give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Mother’s Day!

Birthday Treat Jar

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Got a friend with a birthday coming up? Teri here to show you to make a super cute Birthday Treat Jar! While I filled this little jar with treats, you could easily use it to place money or gift card inside instead.

Birthday Treat Jar by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Inner Pieces for the Jar

For this project, you’ll need a small jar with a lid. You can use a glass jar or a plastic one. Don’t feel like buying one to use for the project? Upcycle an old jar for it.

Start by cutting a piece of patterned paper to fit inside the jar. You want the panel to be able to roll up so you can fit it inside it. Decorate it by adding another strip of paper to it.

Cut a clear transparency to fit in the jar. Make sure you can fold the transparency in half. Don’t have a transparency? Recycle a piece of clear plastic packaging. It will work just fine.

Set your transparency on your patterned paper piece. You’ll need to do this for placement. Adhere some 3D Foam Shapes onto it. Pick ones with a birthday theme.

Use Metallic Transfer Foil

Set a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil onto the shapes one at a time with the pretty side up. Burnish the foil onto it. If you are using a piece of foil that you’ve used before and have open spaces, that’s OK. Just apply a little bit of foil at a time. Start with one side of the shape and then do the other. Work toward the middle until the shape is completely covered.

Apply Crafty Power Tape to the inside of your transparency. Add some sequins and seal up the panel. Roll the panel into a circle and place it in your jar. Roll your patterned paper panel and do the same.

Decorate the Jar’s Outside and Lid

Decorate the outside of your jar with stickers or additional 3D Foam Shapes.

Take the lid and decorate it with stickers and additional 3D Foam Shapes. Apply Metallic Transfer Foil to any of the shapes you add.

Complete the jar by tying some ribbon or twine onto it. Use an Adhesive Dot Micro to hold the twine or ribbon in place. Fill the inside of the jar up with candy or whatever you desire.

I hope you are inspired to decorate a jar to give as a gift! Let me know if you do!

Happy Creating!

Dimensional Sending Thanks Card

Posted on May 5, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a new card. I love clustering together fussy cut elements. To level up, create layers for an interesting Dimensional Sending Thanks Card. I love the elegance and classical vibe this card brings 🙂 This card is suitable for beginner card makers too. Shall we get started?

Dimensional Sending Thanks Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dimensional Sending Thanks Card Panel

Start by fussy cutting elements. I always like to cut more elements than I need so I can pick the best combination for my Dimensional Sending Thanks Card. Then adhere onto a beige cardpanel. Start by adhering the back element (the arch) using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive.

Then adhere the chair using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. For the smaller parts I used 3D Foam Squares Micro White. Next tuck the other elements using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix as our adhesive. This way you create a depth on your Dimensional Sending Thanks Card.

Card Base

Adhere the top card panel onto a brown card panel and next onto a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive.

Finishing Touch

For a finishing touch I adhered some sticker sentiments onto white cardstock and cut it (using scissors) to a banner. Then adhered them onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá….your Dimensional Sending Thanks Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Happiness Lavender Farm Layout

Posted on May 4, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hello my crafty friends! It’s Ali, @funadventureswithali, and I’m so excited to share a new Happiness Lavender Farm Layout with you today that is full of texture, layers, and all my favorite foam adhesives! If you know me, you know I absolutely love adding dimension to my pages, and this layout is a perfect example of how mixing different foam products can really bring everything to life.

Happiness Lavender Farm Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happiness Lavender Farm Layout Design

This very special 5 x 7″ photo was taken at a lavender farm in Door County WI during a summer trip with my husband, Jeff. It was our first visit there and fell in love with the endless rows of soft purples and white over a peaceful atmosphere. Of course, the incredible and truly unforgettable lavender scent! I picked colors and patterns that mirrored the tones in photo. The background paper had layered details but I added even more layers to enhance the effect.

For varying heights, I used a combination of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft., 3D Foam Squares White Mix, to create depth and interest across the entire page. It helps each element stand out while still working together beautifully. To make my 5×7″ photo the focal point, I double matted it for extra definition. I added crafty foam tape behind the photo, which allowed me to tuck in embellishments underneath for a more dynamic, layered look. In the top right corner, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix to pop up ephemera pieces, creating a soft cluster that draws your eye across the page.

Add the Elements

Place a 3D Foam Strips behind the word “Beautiful” and add it in the upper right area. Then a 3D Foam Squares Micro White behind an adorable bee. A few enamel dots sprinkled around that cluster help tie everything together and add just the right finishing touch.

Underneath the photo, tuck a torn piece of purple paper for a bit of texture and softness. On the bottom left side, I created another cluster using lavender sprigs layered over the background with 3D Foam Strips. They’re perfect for those longer, thinner pieces. I love how full and dimensional this area feels with just a few added elements. In finishing that cluster, a cute enamel brad to hold the sprigs together, another popped-up bee, and—of course—more enamel dots.

Add the Title

For my main title, “Happiness,” I used 3D Foam Strips to give it lift and placed it toward the bottom center of the page, slightly overlapping the photo. I layered in a banner that says “Life is Sweet” using 3D Foam Strips as well, adding even more dimension and interest.

To balance everything out, I created a final cluster in the bottom right corner. 3D Foam Squares White Mix were added behind a floral honeycomb ephemera piece. Next, add an even thicker foam square behind a small flower vase to really make it stand out. I overlapped the elements slightly and finished it off with another sweet bumblebee and a few more enamel dots.

With all these layers and textures, it truly brings me right back to that beautiful day in the lavender fields. I can almost smell the lavender and hear the soft buzzing of the bees all around. It’s amazing how a page can hold not just a memory, but a feeling.

I’m already dreaming about our next visit back!

Happy spring vibes, friends!

Beautiful Day Layout

Posted on May 2, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello, it’s Kristin and today is iNational Scrapbooking Day! On this occasion, I am sharing a Beautiful Day 12×12 layout. Inspired by the wonderful patterned paper and its embellishments, I highlighted a picture of me at a photo spot of my favorite store. The message, “Let the real you shine”, behind me felt empowering, so I wanted the design to reflect that same uplifting energy.

Beautiful Day Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Beautiful Day Background

Start with this yellow tone-on-tone design paper, it adds interest while keeping the page light and fresh and it allows the photo and embellishments to really stand out. For my photo, I matted it with a green patterned paper using my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. The contrast between the yellow and green helps frame the photo.

Building the Floral Clusters

For my floral clusters. I fussy cut a large floral piece from one of the patterned papers in the collections and popped it up with Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft to add the page. Next, I used ephemera and decorative elements to tuck them underneath – some were adhered flat and others were popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to add crystals to give the page extra light and movement to the page.

The layering on the layout added depth, but it also helps guide your eye toward the photo and the inspiring message. The mix of textures and heights keeps the design visually interesting.

Beautiful Day Title and Finishing Touches

Place the chipboard title, “Beautiful Day”, near the photo with the Dual Tip Glue Pen to anchor the design and highlight the moment. It pairs perfectly with the encouraging message in the photo. I added a few more elements using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Circles White Mix above the large floral arrangement for extra dimension.

This layout celebrates confidence and self-expression. The yellow leaf background and green dotted photo mat create a bright foundation. The collection adds playful color and texture with lots of layers and some crystals to give the page the most perfect finishing sparkle.

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️
