Love & Joy Card for World Fussy Cutting Day

Posted on October 25, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Today is World Fussy Cutting Day and I’ve got out my favorite detailed scissors for this Love & Joy Card. Hi, Margie here today! Let me share about our friend and longtime crafting store owner, Sharon Klima, and her love of fussy cutting that inspired World Fussy Cutting Day.

Love & Joy Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

World Fussy Cutting Day

World Fussy Cutting Day was inspired by our friend Sharon, who passed away suddenly from a heart attack in January 2025. Sharon had owned her store, Buffalo Stamps & Stuff for over 30 years and was known and loved by many in our industry. Proud wife, mom and grandma, she loved memory keeping and cardmaking – especially when fussy cutting was involved.

Love & Joy Card Process

Some of Sharon’s friends created design sheets that people can fussy cut to add to their papercraft creations. I choose this sweet set designed by Samantha L of Scraps of Love (thanks, Sam!) from the FaceBook Group I’ll share below. I picked out a few elements to cluster as a focal point on my card front.

Here’s a few fussy cutting tips that might help you along the way! For the fussy cutting sheets and fun discussions, join the World Fussy Cutting Day FaceBook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldfussycuttingday

Love & Joy Card Panel

For the panel, I cut a 4 x 5.25″ patterned paper piece for the base and the foiled patterned border was cut to 2 x 5.25″. Layer the border to the panel with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Create the Focal Point

I centered the cut large lacy heart on the panel and placed the heart tag on the left side of the heart with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Since I didn’t have my Adhesive Lines handy, I rolled my Adhesive Dots Small into a line and applied it to the back of the cut butterfly. After adding it on the bottom left corner of the heart tag, I lifted its wings for dimension.

Finishing Touches on the Card

Using the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft., I added five strips on the back of the panel and centered it on the white cardstock card base. This foam tape has a subtle height vs the regular height of 1/16″ (it’s half of it at 1/32″ – think Thin 3D Foam Squares).

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Hearts

After adding the sentiment by the butterfly with 3D Foam Strips, roll three heart shapes from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser. Next, I used a piece of fine gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack and place on a heart shape (color side facing you). Rub to transfer the color to the heart. Peel off to reveal a shiny accent…so easy! Repeat on the other two hearts.

Heart Health Awareness

There are two folds to this day, we also wanted to bring awareness to heart health. The weekend before Sharon passed, she participated as a host instructor for a virtual cardmaking event. Throughout the weekend, she mentioned she wasn’t feeling well but thought nothing of it. She just thought it was something she ate or a touch of the flu. None of us expected that we would lose her on the Monday after the event.

Sadly, Sharon’s story is not unique. Heart disease symptoms are not easy to discern, and they are different in women than in men. Often when we are not feeling well, we tend to minimize our symptoms and push on, caring for others before ourselves.

We’d like to think that Sharon would be grateful that her story could be used to help others, and that’s what World Fussy Cutting Day is all about. Let’s learn together about heart disease and how we can better take care of ourselves for many more years of crafting.

Fall So Thankful Card

Posted on October 23, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Thanksgiving is almost here, and it’s a great time to let the ones you love know how much they mean to you! Teri here to show you how to put together a fun Fall So Thankful Card to share your gratitude!

Fall So Thankful Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with the Fall So Thankful Card + 3D Foam Frames

Place one of the larger frames from the 3D Foam Frames on top of patterned paper. I picked three foil colors (bronze, copper, and black) from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature. Remove the top liner and in sections, place one color on one section of the frame with the color side facing you. Rub to transfer the color to the frame. Peel off the foil to reveal the shine! Reapply the foil in missed areas.

Repeat the foiling steps with the other two colors. Trim off the excess patterned paper from the foiled frame.

Building Card Panel Layers

Adhere a patterned paper panel to a kraft card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then place patterned paper strips along the edges for color and interest. Next, mount your foiled frame to your card front at an angle and trim off the excess. Throw out or save your excess for another project!

Embellish the Card

Take several ephemera pieces and arrange them on the card front. With the 3D Foam Strips, pop up some the pieces. Designer’s Tip: Use scissors to cut down the foam strips into smaller pieces. Plus I like to use several strips together at one time…customize!

Add Interest with Faux Splatters

Complete your card with faux paint splatters. How? Simply place Adhesive Dots Micro onto your card, stretching them out a little to look like uneven circles. Set a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature on them with the same foiling steps. Designer’s Tip: Practice foiling with the adhesive dots on a scratch paper a few times to get a feel of the process…transferring the color to the dot, the release of the foil, etc.

Lastly, use stickers, die-cuts or stamps to add a sentiment to your card…and done! I hope you are inspired by today’s Fall So Thankful Card tutorial to make some cards of your own for those you are thankful for!

Happy Creating!

Hello Halloween lovers! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet and spooky layout to share. Here are all of the details on how to create this Purrfect Halloween Layout.

Purrfect Halloween Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

First step in creating this Purrfect halloween Layout is to mat the photo in white cardstock, and attach that using Creative Photo Corners Black. Next, cut a second mat from black cardstock, and adhere that using E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Cut strips of patterned paper to create the patchwork looking background. Adhere all of these strip using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I hand cut the crescent moon shape from patterned paper, and also adhered that to the background using E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Add the matted photo to the background using Crafty Foam Tape Black. Then add some embellishments around the matted photo using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This hauntingly accents this Purrfect Halloween Layout.

Attached the title piece and coordinating embellishments to the bottom right hand corner using a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Pumpkins Farm Fresh Layout

Posted on October 20, 2025 by Ali Skifton

Hi there, It’s Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli)! I’m so excited to share a new fall layout, Pumpkins Farm Fresh, with you today, featuring the adorable Doodlebug Farmhouse Collection. Their papers and stickers are just the cutest, and I absolutely love working with their collections.

Pumpkins Farm Fresh Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pumpkin Farm Fresh Story – Schuett Farm

Last fall, Jeff and I discovered the sweetest little pumpkin farm just minutes from our house. We picked out a few pumpkins to decorate our front stoop and even tried our luck in the corn maze—though we had to make a quick exit thanks to an unexpected rainstorm, right in the middle of getting lost! 🌽🌧️

Building the Farm Layout

The colors in the Farmhouse Collection were a perfect match for the cozy, rustic vibe of our farm photos. To start my layout, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to layer two patterned papers over coordinating colored cardstock. I added hand-stitched borders along the patterned edges for a handmade touch, then placed a sticker border along the left side of the orange fall-themed paper for extra charm.

To give my photos a bit of dimension, I used a Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. behind them. I also popped up some of my favorite Doodlebug embellishments—flowers, bumblebees, and that fun word-title die cut—using my go-to 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Even the cute plaid tag got a little lift with some foam tape!

For the “Farm Fresh” title, I used a thin foam strip to help it stand out from the background. Finally, I sprinkled a few enamel dots and flower sprinkles around the page to bring it all together.

I hope you’re enjoying all the cozy vibes this fall season brings. I know I can’t get enough of pumpkin everything! 🎃

Until next time—happy crafting!

Thanks for visiting!

Spooky Halloween Card

Posted on October 17, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Halloween coming up in just two weeks it’s time to get creepy crafting. With that in mind I made this Spooky Halloween Card.

Spooky Halloween Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The card is all about layering and I would love to share how I made my card.

Window and Frame

First I die-cut a window from a large piece of black cardstock. Then used the leftover frame to create a top card layer for my Spooky Halloween Card by trimming it to a rectangular size. The window itself I colored using silver and gold wax to give it a metallic look.

Simply rub some wax by using your finger to rub.

Middle Card Panel

For the middle card panel of the Spooky Halloween Card, I used black cardstock which I trimmed to a size slighty larger than the top frame card panel. Then I used purple and green chalky ink pads and an ink blending tool to create a spooky sky effect.

Card Base

First adhere the black top frame card panel onto the inked card panel using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Then adhere onto a lilac card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. This is the card base for the Spooky Halloween Card.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

To create a starry sky I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. First adhere some starts from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser into the inked frame. I like to use tweezers for precize adhering of the stars.

Then sprinkle fine gold glitter upon the stars and rub the glitter. Then tap off the excess glitter. Next adhere the die-cut and metallic waxed window into the frame using 3D Foam Squares Micro Black.

These extra tiny 3D foam squares are perfect for detailed adhering. Since 3D foam squares a slighty thicker than the Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix it will create an extra, subtile uplifting of the window on the Spooky Halloween Card.

Spooky Details

First die-cut some spooky figures from white cardstock. Then ink them with grey inkt o alter them. Next adhere the ghosts into the window frame using 3D Foam Squares Micro Black as your adhesive. I tucked the ghosts half under the frame so it looks like they fly through the glass. For a finishing touch I stamped a sentiment onto a piece of lilac cardstock using a black ink pad. Then cut it to a banner and adhered it onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

And voilá, your Spooky Halloween Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy Halloween crafting.

Accordion Diorama Card

Posted on October 15, 2025 by Leslie Turner

Hi everybody! Do you happen to be a fan of fun folds? Undeniably, I’d rather make a fun fold than a regular card! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for making an accordion diorama card. This is an easy design that sure packs a punch!

Accordion Diorama Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut Diorama Card Base, Bridge & Layers

COLORED CARDSTOCK:
–Card base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″. Fold on the score lines and burnish with a bone folder.
–Bottom bridge: 3″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″. Valley-mountain-valley fold on the score lines and burnish with a bone folder.
–Pocket: 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 3/4″. This piece gets folded in half on the score line and burnished with a bone folder.

PATTERNED PAPER:
–Front and inside panels: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ (cut two).
–Inside bridge panels: 7/8″ x 4-1/8″ (cut two).
–Pocket: 3/4″ x 4-1/8″.
–Back embellishing strip: 1/4″ x 4″.

ACETATE:
–Inside diorama: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/8″.

WHITE CARDSTOCK:
–Back sentiment panel: 4″ x 5-1/4″.

Adhere Layers & Create Pocket

For best results, I love the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the patterned paper layers to the cardstock. Firstly, adhere the front panel to the card base. Next, adhere the two inside bridge panels to the bridge. Similarly, adhere the narrowest panel to the pocket. Additionally, adhere the back embellishing strip to the white cardstock back panel.

Now, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, apply glue to the center and both ends of the pocket piece. Sit a weight on this piece to get good adhesion while it dries. Keep the top open as the acetate sheet will get tucked into this pocket. Afterwards, adhere the pocket to either side of the bridge, butting the bottom edge with the score line.

Cut Aperture & Add Frame for Diorama

Using your choice of shaped dies, cut an aperture through both layers on the front of the card base. Use the same die and one slightly larger to cut a frame for the opening. Glue it in place with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Assemble Card

Start by adhering the bridge to the back flap of the card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. Ensure the pocket is facing the rear. Add the inside patterned paper panel to cover the bridge flap. I was interrupted by the doorbell, and when I went back to finish, I attached the panel before gluing the bridge. So I had to hide the flap with another piece of the patterned paper. Don’t do what Leslie did, lol!

Apply a strip of Crafty Power Tape to the top edge of the front side of the acetate. Line it up with the fold line and hold it in place with a couple of clips. Tuck the bottom of the acetate into the pocket. Remove the release paper from the tape and close the card to adhere the acetate to the back side of the front flap. Once again, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips, apply adhesive to the other flap on the bridge. Fold the bridge up and close the card to adhere it to the back side of the front flap.

Complete Accordion Diorama Card

Attach an image and sentiment to the acetate using an Adhesive Sheet. For embellishments, I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique by using small and medium circles from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Cover the circles with the foils (color side facing you) for shiny embellishments!

Also used two kinds of ribbon from my stash for an embellishment across the bottom, attaching with E-Z Dots® and Mounting Squares. The final step was stamping a sentiment on the back sentiment panel and using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips to adhere it.

Thanks for visiting – we’ll see you next time!

Quiet Wonder of Fall Foil Card

Posted on October 12, 2025 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today. I am excited to share a simple design that shows how foil can be used in your fall designs as this Quiet Wonder of Fall Foil Card.

Quiet Wonder of Fall Foil Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create this beautiful fall card using some gorgeous papers. Add the always wonderful Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to one of the three trees, and have yourself a WoW! factor.

Wonder of Fall Focal Point

Apply a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in behind some white cardstock and then die-cut a tree shape with it. Make sure the adhesive sheet side is facing the correct way – in this case, facing front! After die-cutting, peel off the liner and add a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors pack with the color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer the color and remove to reveal the beautiful shine! Reapply the foil in missed areas.

But I didn’t stop with just some clever foiling. I used the thinner Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft for the foiled tree, and then popped up the other trees using 3D Foam Strips and 3D Foam Squares White Regular. The foam strips are perfect for those delicate tree trunks!

Final Card Assembly

To assemble the card, I added a simply cut wavy border to ground the trees before adding the trees with their dimension. I then used my trusty E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere the white panel to a dark Kraft colored panel for a thin border.

Finally, I adhered the panel to a card base using Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. I like this tear tape when I have multiple layers. Because it has a STRONG hold, I can trust it to handle those layers.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to create your own fall foiled design!

Hi You Paper Napkin Card

Posted on October 10, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you like to use non-traditional products to make cards and scrapbook pages? Teri here to show you a fun way to use decorative paper napkins on this Hi You Paper Napkin Card!

Hi You Paper Napkin Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pick any paper napkin with a design you like and pair it with 3D Foam Frames and Metallic Transfer Foil for a really cool look! Read on to learn more.

Make a Background with a Paper Napkin

Cover a piece of cardstock with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Designer’s Tip: Use a brush to help make an even coat of glue or use a rubber glove to spread with a finger. Next, peel one layer of the napkin and place it on the panel. Let dry – I left mine overnight to completely dry.

Place a few 3D Foam Frames on the panel. I used different sizes. Once you determine placement, cut them out to make your rectangle accents.

Design the Card Panel

Place and adhere your frames to your panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Also, I left part of the frames hanging off the edge before trimming the excess. Stamp a sentiment on the panel with black ink.

Frames were foiled with a piece of silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets. Simply remove the liner from one of the frames to place the foil color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off for the easy reveal! Reapply the foil in missed areas. Repeat the foiling steps on the other frame. Mat the panel to a piece of cardstock and then onto your card.

How to Hide a Mistake

Wanted to share a boo-boo on the sentiment on my card – it was crooked. So, I stamped a second time on a strip of cardstock and trimmed it to fit on the card. But this time, I used 3D Foam Strips to give it some pop, and it also covered up my mistake. LOL!

Finish the Card

To complete and give the card some more bling, I added a few sequins but you can use gems or some other small embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out today’s Hi You Paper Napkin Card tutorial! I’d love to hear if you decide to make a project that uses decorative napkins like I did!

Happy Creating!

Halloween Moonlight Card

Posted on October 5, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Halloween Moonlight Card. The full moon, dark colors, and its eerie vibe are perfect for this card. I would love to share how I made my card.

Halloween Moonlight Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Use Adhesive Sheets with an Intricate Background

I use the Adhesive Sheets 4x6inch for my detailed twig background. It covers the design with edge-to-edge adhesives – think sticker! Apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4x6inch onto a piece of black cardstock panel, rub it into the cardstock to transfer the adhesive to it. Next, die-cut the twig background with the adhesive-back cardstock. View the How to Use Adhesive Sheets for Die-Cutting video…

Halloween Moonlight Card Panel

To create a moonlight scene, I used stencils and inks. First temporary adhere a circle stencil mask onto a white cardstock panel with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Use dark blue and purple ink with an ink blending tool to create the background for the Halloween Moonlight Card. Remove the circle mask and rub the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser dots off with your fingers.

Add yellow ink with an ink blending tool to color the moon. Next, use the moon detailed stencil on the inked moon and apply dark yellow ink with an ink blending tool. Remove the stencil and let dry.

Assemblying the Layers

Remove the liner of the twig top card panel and adhere on the inked background. Trim the edges to fit the top card panel. Adhere on a dark blue card panel and then on a black card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing Touch

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and mat on a dark blue banner using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere on the card front by popping it up with some 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

And voilá, your Halloween Moonlight Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Hexagon Grid Love Card

Posted on October 4, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Happy Word Card Making Day! Today, I have an easy but impactful Hexagon Grid Love Card to share. Hi, Margie here today, and I’m excited to share my tutorial with you.

Hexagon Grid Love Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Foundation for the Hexagon Grid Card Base

In my stash, I found some wonderful newsprint tissue paper and hand-torn a thick border. On a standard A2 (5.5 x 4.25″) white cardstock card base, I adhere it with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Create the Hexagon Grid Design

With two hexagon craft dies, I die-cut the larger one with patterned paper and the smaller one with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. You will need four of each size. Place the larger ones on the card front in a grid format using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

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

Center the smaller hexagons on top of the larger ones by removing the bottom liner. Next, peel off the top liner to one and place a piece of teal foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors on top of the exposed adhesive (color side facing you). Gently rub to transfer the color and remove to reveal the finished results! Repeat the foiling steps with the rest of the hexagons.

To finish, trim a piece of the leftover 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White (cutting from the hexagons) to fit the back of the sentiment strip. Place underneath the hexagon grid design…done!

I hope you enjoyed my easy Hexagon Grid Love Card tutorial! Give the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique a try. Happy World Card Making Day!!
