Tropical Happy Birthday Tag

Posted on July 1, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

It’s Kristin here. If you love adding shine, and dimension to your paper crafting projects, you’ll love this Tropical Happy Birthday Tag. Together, they create a colorful birthday tag full of eye-catching dimension.

Tropical Happy Birthday Tag by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tropical Happy Birthday Tag Base

One of my favorite things about the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix is the ability to create custom dimensional embellishments. For this birthday tag, I die cut a scalloped frame with it and it cuts like butah! It allows me to turn this die shape into a raised embellishment that adds instant depth to my project.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil

Remove the top liner of the scalloped frame and applied green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Remember to place the foil color side facing you. The foil adhered to the exposed adhesive to create a smooth, shiny finish that coordinates well with the Doodlebug Summer Fun Collection. Reapply the foil in missed areas.

The Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors are an easy way to add elegant shine and vibrant color. The green foil transformed my simple scalloped circle into a standout focal element while having a dimensional effect.

Creating Extra Dimension with Foam

To increase the dimensional effect even more, I used the 3D Foam Strips. I doubled them to create extra height behind several design elements on the birthday tag. Layering the foam strips added visual interest and helped separate the various pieces of the design. This simple technique creates a professional layered look that makes focal images and embellishments stand out.

The bright colors and playful summer theme paired perfectly with the foiled scalloped circle and dimensional layers to create a super fun Tropical Happy Birthday Tag! Hope you give this idea a try.

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

Bright Stars Votive Holder

Posted on June 29, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I have a Bright Stars Votive Holder project to share just in time for the 4th of July. It’s quite easy to make with 3D Foam Stars, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors and a clear glass candle holder. During the day the stars shine brightly and at night, simply add a battery votive for a soft glow that will show through the open stars. It’s a fun home decor accent!

Bright Stars Votive Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Bright Stars Vellum Base

The votive holder measures 3.25 tall x 10″ around if you’re measuring for a vellum wrap. So, I cut a piece of vellum at 3.25 x 10.5″. I marked where the ends lap with pencil and cut it 0.25″ beyond the mark to determine the cut. Apply strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in to the back of one end of the vellum

Bright Stars Placement

Place vellum face up on work surface to add stars from 3D Foam Stars. Carefully loosen each point of largest star and peel off entire star. Place star lightly at angle near center of vellum band. Use needle tool to lift points of 2nd star and then carefully lift it off. Place that star on vellum to one side of large star. Again working with large star, lift points of 4th star (one next to center star), peel it away and place on vellum between large stars.

From second sheet of 3D Foam Stars, lift points of 2nd from largest star, remove entire star and place lightly on other side of large center star. Carefully lift points of inner 2nd star, remove and place back on 3D Foam Stars sheet. Remove one of the larger 2 piece stars and place in center of star on other side of center star (right side).

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

Remove the liner from the largest star, cover with red foil from the Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (color side facing you) over the exposed adhesive. Gently press the foil and peel to reveal the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas.

Repeat the foiling steps with the blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors and with silver foil from Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors as shown in the images until you get the desired color design.

Assemble the Bright Stars Votive Holder

Remove liner from Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in at end of vellum, wrap it snuggly around candle holder and press ends together.

Add more stars as desired to fill spaces especialy near seam, peel liners and cover with foils.

Insert Votive Light

Turn on battery votive light and place in candle holder.

Enjoy your Bright Stars Votive Holder! Even in dark the light will show through open stars.

Chocolate Bar Card

Posted on June 27, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have plans to do something fun! Do you have kids or grands with an upcoming birthday? If so, I have the sweetest birthday card to share… pun intended! Leslie here with a tutorial for making a Chocolate Bar Card – an oldie but goodie and one of my favorites. I used cardstock, birthday papers and die cut pieces in my stash, and quite a few Scrapbook Adhesives products. It’s a great mini slimline size, so let me show you how to make this!

Chocolate Bar Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut Card Base & Layers

BROWN CARDSTOCK:
Card base: 6″ x 7″, scored at 3-1/2″ on long side. This makes a 3-1/2″ x 6″ size mini slimline that fits perfectly into a #6-3/4 business size envelope.
Chocolate bar pieces: Punch nine 1″ squares and eighteen 3/4″ squares.

YELLOW CARDSTOCK:
Inside layering panel: 3-1/8″ x 5-5/8″.

WHITE CARDSTOCK:
Inside sentiment panel: 3″ x 5-1/2″.

GOLD FOIL CARDSTOCK:
Front inner wrapper: 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ with approximately 1/2″ torn off the top (tear away from you).

PATTERNED PAPER:
Front outer wrapper: 3-1/8″ x 3-1/2″ with approximately 1/2″ torn off the top (tear toward you).
Inside embellishing strips: Approximately 1/4″ x 2-15/16″ (cut two).

Adhere Layers

First, build the chocolate bar. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the nine 1″ squares to the top of the card. You’ll want about 1/8″ distance from the edges and 1/8″ between the squares. Next, glue pairs of the 3/4″ squares together with Dual Tip Glue Pen to make a total of nine. Apply one Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back of each square. Then adhere them to the 1″ squares on the card front. Yum, that chocolate bar is looking good!

Additionally, adhere the torn patterned paper to the torn gold foil cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Affix this piece to the card front with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. That wrapper looks pretty authentic, doesn’t it?!

Now let’s work on the inside. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the white and yellow panels together. Then adhere them to the inside of the card base. Grab the Dual Tip Glue Pen and adhere the embellishing strips across the top and bottom of the white panel.

Embellish Chocolate Bar Card Front

So let’s create the banner using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique. With green, purple and blue glitter along with the 3D Foam Pennants. For additional stability, I stuck the pennants to white cardstock and trimmed around the edges. Remove the liner from one pennant and sprinkle glitter over it. Press with your finger to secure and then tap off the excess. Repeat the glitter steps on the remaining pennants. Apply Adhesive Lines to the top of the pennants and affix them to a length of white twine with knotted ends. Also apply a 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of each pennant and add them to the card front.

Afterwards, add an assortment of die cut pieces using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The different thicknesses of the foam squares adds different levels of dimension. Pull out the Dual Tip Glue Pen again and glue a few more die cuts flat (without dimension).

Complete Chocolate Bar Card

To complete the card, adhere another die cut piece (sentiment) to the inside panel using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. As a final touch, I added narrow green pinstripe peel-off stickers to the panel for a little interest.

Hey There Card

Posted on June 23, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you love color? Teri here with a fun way to embrace all things color related by making a tone-on-tone Hey There Card with cardstock and 3D Foam Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel.

Hey There Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Not only is this a fun way to play with color when making cards, but it’s also a wonderful way to add a little bit of glitz and dimension!

Pick Out Cardstock and Metallic Transfer Foil

Start by pulling out a few sheets of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel. Match them the best you can to cardstock. It’s OK if they aren’t an exact match. Just try go with something close in tone.

Create a notecard from white cardstock. Cut your other pieces of cardstock into strips to fit on it.

Add 3D Foam Shapes

Take each strip and randomly apply 3D Foam Shapes onto each strip. You can use the same shapes, or you can mix it up by using a variety of them. I used a combination of 3D Foam Strips, 3D Foam Circles White Mix, 3D Foam Hearts, and 3D Foam Frames. Trim off any pieces that go off the edge.

Take your transfer foil and apply it to the shapes on each corresponding piece of cardstock. Make sure you apply the foil to one shape at a time. I find that works a bit better than doing it all at once.

Adhere your cardstock strips onto your card. Trim the card is necessary.

Create a Sentiment

Stamp a sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock. Place a 3D Foam Circle Frame around the sentiment. Apply transfer foil to it. Trim the excess with your scissors.

Apply adhesive to the back of your circle. Randomly arrange metallic thread on the circle so loops peek out from the sides. Add several 3D Foam Strips to the circle and mount it to the card.

Complete the card by adding some sequins, gems or small embellishments to it.

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make a tone-on-tone card with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets of your own!

Happy Creating!

Sweet and Simple Family Layout

Posted on June 21, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a Sweet and Simple Family Layout to share which I created in just a few easy steps. Here are all of the details.

Sweet and Simple Family Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

First step was to choose the patterned paper background and then I cut a piece of 9.25″ square white cardstock. Adhere these layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next cut a white cardstock mat for the 4×6 photo, and secure with Creative Photo Corners Black. Set aside for now.

Cut a few pieces of patterned paper for the layered background. Adhere them to the layered background using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. This is the base for this simple family layout. Add the matted 4×6 photo now using Crafty Foam Tape Black. At this time I also added the patterned tag to the left hand side of the matted photo, again using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Start adding coordinating embellishments around the matted photo. Some are adhered straight to the background. Others are added using a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Add a burlap string bow to the tag. As well as more embellishments around the matted photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Red, White and Blue Card

Posted on June 20, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! Three cheers for my Red, White and Blue Card! How fun is this fourth of July card?! I created featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Stars. The patterned papers from the adorable Doodlebug Fourth of July collection is perfect! We celebrate with my parents by having a cookout, enjoying drinks, relaxing together, and ending the day with fireworks. It’s one of my favorite traditions, so I wanted to make a special card just for them.

Red White and Blue Card by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Red, White and Blue Card Front

For this card, I started with two 6 x 6″ patterned papers that reminded me of the American flag. I layered them onto a white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. For the sentiment, I used a sticker that I remove the stickiness with the powder tool and popped it up with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. Center it on the card front.

You can see a peek of the next step! LOL! #WearYourAdhesiveOnTheOutside

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

My favorite part of this project is definitely the stars — because nothing says Fourth of July like sparkling stars and fireworks! I used Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors along with 3D Foam Stars to create custom embellishments that perfectly matched the card.

Place the 3D Foam Stars where you want them on the card.
Remove the top liner from one star.
Lay a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors over it (color side facing you).
Gently rub the foil to transfer the color, then peel it away to reveal the shine.
Repeat with other colors like blue, gold, and silver for a fun fireworks-inspired look.

Transferring the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors onto the stars is so satisfying! In less than a minute, I had gorgeous shiny embellishments that look like little firecrackers bursting right off the card.

The Inside of the Card

I just wanted to add something fun on the inside of the card too!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and joy-filled Fourth of July filled with family, friends, fireworks, and lots of crafty fun.

Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layout

Posted on June 18, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

It’s Kristin here, and I’m sharing my Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layouts to celebrate our furry family member. The page highlights two sweet round photos of my dog, Bristol. The soft vintage colors, floral elements, and layered details were the perfect choice for showcasing my precious pup.

Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating Brissy Girl Layout Foundation

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, I adhered patterned paper circles I cut and photo mats. My tape runner is one of my most-used tools because it provides quick, even coverage and keeps larger elements securely attached. The two round photos of Bristol are the focal point of the page. The circular shape adds softness and movement while helping the design feel unique and playful.

Building Layers and Dimension

One of my favorite ways to add interest to a scrapbook layout is by creating dimensional layers. I used a combination of Crafty Foam Tape Black and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to lift the elements (such as floral shapes and tags) around the photos. It cast subtle shadows that make it more dynamic and visually appealing.

Adding the Finishing Details

Once the larger elements were in place, secure the smaller embellishments and delicate pieces with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The fine-tip applicator allowed me to place tiny accents exactly where I wanted them without excess adhesive showing.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layout inspires you to document the special pets in your life. Try adding dimension on your next scrapbook project.

Happy crafting & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

Floral Let’s Celebrate Card

Posted on June 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Clean And Simple Style (CAS) Floral Let’s Celebrate Card. There are times that you don’t need a lot of material to create a special card. With that in mind, I have this feminine card. I would love to share.

Floral Let's Celebrate Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Panel Layers for the Floral Celebrate Card

On a soft pink cardstock rectangle panel, center a piece of pink satin ribbon with our tear tape, the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. Remove the liner and wrap the ends around the panel to secure.

Add flower trim to the top and bottom of the satin ribbon using Adhesive Dots Large. Each flower center is a pearl which does not have any adhesive so I secured them with Adhesive Dots Mini.

Mat the embellished panel with a dark pink panel and then on to a white card base, using Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft.

The Finishing Touch

To finish, I added a white cardstock strip by tucking it underneath the ribbon flowers. To secure it, I used Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. A sweet pink bow was adhered with the Adhesive Dots Mini on the white cardstock strip between the flower trim.

For the sentiment, I added a sticker on the satin ribbon. And voilá, the Floral Let’s Celebrate Card is finished!

Easy Floral Birthday Card

Posted on June 15, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hi friends, I hope your week has started off on a nice note and you are enjoying some pretty weather! Do you like having extra birthday cards in your stash that are easy to mass-produce? Yes, I do (raise hand)! Leslie here, sharing an Easy Floral Birthday Card with you today. When I say ‘easy’ – I mean that literally! Let me show you this card in more detail.

Easy Floral Birthday Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base Details

I cut a top-folding card base from kraft cardstock at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5-1/2″. Next, I trimmed a cotton cardstock panel to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and pressed the floral image and sentiment into it. Used my BetterPress for this, however, stamps can also be used. Colored the image with alcohol markers and adhered it to the card with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. This easy floral birthday card is taking shape!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using the 3D Foam Butterflies and purple mica powder. Super easy process – remove the liner, add the mica powder, and rub it to secure. Also very lightly dusted white mica powder onto the wings for some added sheen. Subsequently, I sealed it with a light coat of clear satin urethane spray outside. Wanted to ensure the mica powder wouldn’t rub off.

Afterwards, I stuck the butterfly to a small piece of acetate, tucking in gold thread for antennae. Acetate is great for adding stability. Trimmed around the edges and affixed it to the card front. Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix (one small square cut in half) was perfect under the body. Additionally, 3D Foam Squares White Mix (two stacked) worked well for slightly more dimension under the wings.

Finally, I added gemstones to the butterfly body using the Dual Tip Glue Pen along with a few on the background. The front of this easy floral birthday card is complete!

Finishing the Easy Floral Birthday Card

Once again using the BetterPress, I pressed an additional sentiment into another 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of cotton cardstock. Adhered this panel to the inside of the card base with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Last, but not least, I adhered a patterned paper strip to the bottom of the inside panel which completed the card.

Lovely Day Pieced Quilt Card

Posted on June 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! This Lovely Day Pieced Quilt card was inspired by cards made by my mom years ago when she had a quilt store. I recently found some of them and wondered if I could make a similar card with paper. Her cards had fabric strips sewn together to make the pieced panel. I made the panel with pieced papers. I hope you enjoy this technique.

Lovely Day Pieced Quilt Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Quilt Card Layers

Score and fold in half a piece of 8.5 x 6 inch Birch cardstock to form a 4.25 x 6 inch card base. From another piece of Birch cardstock, cut 3.875 x 5.5 inch panel. To make a window in the panel, die-cut a 2.375 x 3.125 inch rectangle window. Lastly, cut a 4 x 5.625 inch mat from navy cardstock. Designer Tip: Rectangle can be slightly bigger or smaller.

Papers for Quilt Pattern

Choose three pattern papers that are dark, medium and light colors. Dark paper (Indigo): cut two 1.25 inch strips about 6 inches long; Medium paper (Tan/Indigo): cut two 0.625 inch strips about 6 inches long and Light paper (blue floral): cut one 0.623 inch strip about 6 inches long. Designer’s Tip: Instead of 6 inch strips, use 8 inch strips to make two cards!

Patterned Strips to Adhesive Sheets

Peel back one end of a sheet from the Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in., place strips on adhesive with a slight gap between each strip, and replace the liner back over strips. Burnish well with bone folder.

Add Strips to Paper Backing

Peel one dark strip (Indigo with the 1.25 inch width) and place on piece of printer paper. Next, peel a medium strip (0.625 inch width Indigo/Tan) and place right against first strip so edges fit tightly together with no gap.

Continue with light strip (0.625 inch width of Blue Floral), another medium strip and finally dark strip. Trim away printer paper along long outer edges.

Add Adhesive to Panel and Pieces

Peel back the liner of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. and place panel of assembled strips on the adhesive, cover with liner and rub with bone folder. Do not remove panel. Carefully cut away adhesive sheet around all the edges of the assembled strips. Next, cut one end of assembled strips so that its even. Then cut seven crosswise strips of 0.625 inch each.

Make Pieced Panel

On piece of printer paper cut lengthwise in half (4.25 x 11 inches), draw a line at 45 degree angle from long edge. Designer’s Tip: I use a quilters clear ruler for this step.

Peel the liner from a pieced strip (a straight pin helps to get liner loose) and place it along drawn line. Peel the liner from another pieced strip, align it so center three squares are offset by one square from strip already in place. Repeat placement steps with the strips with the squares offset each time. This will create diagonal pattern like a pieced quilt. Once all the strips are in place, trim away printer paper along side edges. Square up one end and then cut panel about 4 inches long, width does not need to be trimmed.

Stamp Verse

Stamp verse on birch panel below rectangle window with black ink.

Assemble Card

Apply the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on back of verse panel along edges of rectangle opening. Place panel over pieced strips panel and press to secure. Using the same adhesive runner, attach to the navy mat and then to the card base.

Wishing you a lovely day!
