Romantic Flourished Card Tutorial

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a dimensional romantic flourished card tutorial. Thin 3D Foam Squares are a super easy way to add a subtle layered effect to your card. Come on and let me show you how using great products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®.

Romantic Flourished Card Tutorial

Make a white card base and adhere upon a slightly smaller rectangle piece of silver cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

For the card panel, trim a piece of soft pink cardstock to a slightly smaller size than the silver cardstock mat. Now for the fun part, to embellish the card panel!

Embellish the Flourish Card Panel

Die-cut and emboss several flourishes from silver cardstock. Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of the flourishes.

Designer Note: use a craft knife or scissors to cut the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix into strips to add on the stems of the flourishes. Adhere the flourishes to the pink card panel and cut the excess with scissors.

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, secure the card panel to the card base.

For more sparkle to the flourish die cuts, I adhered rhinestones to the card which also help to hold down the delicate vine pieces to the panel.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Make glittered circle accents by removing the top liners of 3D Foam Circles White Mix in the small size and sprinkle + rub with white glitter. After tapping off the excess, adhere them on to the card. This technique is known as “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside“.

Finishing the Card

Cut a piece of silver cardstock to a size slightly wider than the ribbon you want to use on your card. Wrap the ribbon around the silver cardstock and adhere the ends to the back using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Affix to the panel horizontally onto the card. Then add a bow to the ribbon with an Adhesive Dots Large.

Designer’s Tip: If you want to emphasize a special occasion, adhere a sentiment-banner onto the ribbon band.

And voila…your romantic flourished card is ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Coffee Mug Gift Card Holder Tutorial

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Connie Mercer

For the Seasons Givings Blog Hop and Giveaway, CLICK: Seasons Givings 2020: DIY Stamp Wheel New Year Card.

Hi, Connie here with a couple of gift card ideas for a coffee loving friend. I’m creating with a coffee mug die that has a gift card insert inside it, and using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to secure the embellishments.

Coffee Mug Gift Card Holder Instructions

To begin creating these fun gift card holders, use a coffee mug craft die and some pretty paper. Run the die through a die cutting machine. The die set I’m using comes with three parts, so cut all three parts.

Add the beverage piece to the top of the mug using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. It works great for this and easy to apply too!

Add the gift card insert to the inside of the mug card, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. Simply add your favorite card!

Embellishing the Front

Next is the fun part, decorating the front of the mug. Use the 3D Foam Circles White Mix to adhere the embellishments to the front of the mug card. I love the dimension they add to the premade die cuts! So perfect!

DIY Stamp Wheel Happy New Year Card by Dana Tatar

Happy New Year friends! I like to start each year by trying a new technique or product. I have a large stamp collection, but I have not tried making my own stamps. Rather than purchase supplies and tools, I kept things simple by using a common household item and 3D Foam adhesive to make my stamp. I had a lot of fun creating my own stamp wheel using a lint roller and 3D Foam Circles. I used my DIY patterned paper to create a Happy New Year card.

Happy New Year Card Tutorial Featuring Foiled Chipboard Letters and DIY Stamped Paper by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How to Create a Stamp Wheel

Place 3D Foam Circles onto a lint roller. The 3D Foam Circles White Mix contains two convenient sizes of 3D Foam Circles. Use just one size, or both, to create for a random dot design.

How to Brush Powder onto 3D Foam Circles to Cover the Adhesive

Use a paintbrush to apply powder over the adhesive on the 3D Foam Circles.

How to Stamp Paper with a DIY Stamp Wheel Created with a Lint Roller and 3D Foam Circles

Apply several colors of chalk ink onto the 3D Foam Circles. Roll the inked foam roller over white cardstock to transfer the ink to create a colorful polka dot patterned paper.

Assembling the Card

How to Apply Holographic Foil to Chipboard Letters Using a Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Transfer Sheet

Cut small squares from an Adhesive Sheet. Remove the yellow liner and press the adhesive onto the top of the chipboard letters. Peel away the back liner and cover the adhesive with Holographic Metallic Transfer Foil. Lift the foil off to reveal the foiled letters.

Cut the patterned paper to fit over the top and bottom front of a card base. Use an E-Z Runner Ultra Permanent Dispenser to attach the stamped paper to the card. Leave a space in the middle of the card to adhere the foiled chipboard letters using Small 3D Foam Circles.

Finish the card with a stamped “Happy New Year” sentiment.

Gnome Thank You Card Tutorial

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here today with a quick Gnome Thank You card. I never got a chance to use this cute gnome die before the holidays, so I decided to use it to make a cute thank you card!

Gnome Thank Card Instructions

Using Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch applied to the back of papers before die cutting makes assembling the gnome so easy! Just peel the adhesive liner and put the pieces in place!

The hat and blue body pieces are cut from papers with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch on the back. For the beard and nose, I die cut white card stock on white 3D Foam Creative Sheets. The 3D Foam Creative Sheet gives added dimension plus it’s permanent adhesive on both sides. The nose piece is colored with pink ink before putting it in place.

To add a band of blue to the hat, I use a scrap of blue paper with Adhesive Sheets on the back and die cut at the bottom of the hat die. Next trim it to the desired height and place over the patterned hat. I added tiny dots of white glitter accents to it and the hat.

For the “thank you” band, stamp several different thank you stamps with blue ink. I’m using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere the band and green paper to the card front. To attach the narrow blue strips, I use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, it’s perfect for narrow pieces like this!

Thanks for Visiting!

Winter Wishes Hot Cocoa Gift Set

Posted on December 27, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Wintertime Greetings! Although Christmas is over, I still find the need for an occasional last-minute or forgotten gift. So today, I’m sharing this cute Warm Wishes Hot Cocoa Gift Set as a winter warm-up. What do you think?

Hot Cocoa Gift Set Tutorial by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hot Cocoa Gift Set Up

I’m using a tote bag die, thin chipboard and scrapbook paper. You can buy ready-made versions in the craft stores if you don’t happen to own a similar die.

I cut the paper, Adhesive Sheets 12×12 inch and chipboard to the same size. Adhere them together before die-cutting. If you’re using a pre-made box, try disassembling, tracing and adhering as done above.

After die-cutting and assembling the boxes, I wanted to make a larger box for them to nest inside. Measure the width and depth of the two boxes together and then cut a strip of paper, adding 1-inch on all sides. The 1-inch addition creates the sides of the box.

Next, I cut a strip from the leftover chipboard and adhered it to the bottom with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. The sides are attached using Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ inch.

Embellishing Details

For the edge of the box, I’m using Extreme Double-Sided Tape ⅛ inch to hold the pom trim in place. The strong bond of this tape works beautifully with ribbon and fabric.

Next craft the tag using a matching stamp from the same collection. Stamped the image using black ink onto white cardstock and color with markers. To color the nose, stamp the face onto a piece of an Adhesive Sheet.

Carefully trim out the and then add it over the original stamped image.

After removing the white liner from the Adhesive Sheet, sprinkle on some pretty yellow barite glitter.

In keeping with the yellowy-gold glitter theme, I’m also using it on a couple of the snowflakes from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit.

To complete the Hot Cocoa Gift Set, tuck in a bag of mini marshmallows and cocoa mix and tie on a cute little wooden spoon!

Thanks for joining me and Happy New Year!

New Year’s Goals Mini Tag Book

Posted on December 24, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Can you believe we are just a week away from 2020? Teri here, and I’ve got a fun way for you to head into the New Year with your goals in mind. I’m going to show you how to put together a New Year’s Goals Mini Tag Book to document those goals!

New Year's Goals Mini Tag Book Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This book is easy to put together with a little creativity and is a fun way to remind yourself throughout the year of what you want to achieve!

Creating a Goals Mini Tag Book

For the mini tag book base, start by cutting several tags from white cardstock. Designate one tag as your title tag. Use stamps or letter stickers to spell out, “Go Me!”, on it.

Apply a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2-inch below the words. Remove the top liner and add the silver glitter foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil in Holographic onto it. Make sure the color is facing you and then rub with your fingertips to transfer the color to the tape. You can also use a bone folder to do this.

Affix two scraps of patterned paper at the bottom of the tag using your E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Apply a 3D Foam Heart onto them and then add foil on it as well.

Setting Goals and Making Tags to Document Them

Now let’s create the goal tags! Use letter stickers or stamps to spell “Goal” on several tags. Make sure you have a tag for every goal you want to achieve in the New Year.

Adhere two strips of patterned paper to the bottom of each tag with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Add the number stickers to the tags for each goal.

Complete the tags by decorating them. This is where you get to have a little extra fun and mix things up. Create foil circles by applying Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin and adding foil or flock to them. Randomly apply strips of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2-inch and add foil or flock to them. You’ll also want to do the same thing with additional 3D Foam Hearts.

Kick your goal tags (and title tag) up a notch by adding a little additional color to the letters with a pencil or marker.

Finishing and Binding the Tag Book

Finish the tag book by flipping your goal tags over and writing down your goals.

You’ll also want to bind the book together with a ball chain. Mine came from an old key chain. Don’t have any ball chain of your own? Use twine instead.

When you are finished with this Goals Mini Tag Book, tuck it in your purse so you can open it and be reminded of your goals daily. Another fun idea? Hang it on the wall near your desk.

Wishing you the best New Year!

Foiled Valentine’s Day Treat Box

Posted on December 23, 2019 by Guest Blogger

Hi everyone, Ivy Pe here with a very easy treat box using a variety of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® tapes and 3D Foam products! 😊 Lovin’ the different colors of red, magenta and silver in foil, it really makes this treat box shine without much effort. So why not make a Valentine’s Day Treat Box?!

Valentine’s Day Treat Box

I’m going to embellish the front surface of a ready-made gable box using a combination of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4-inch, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Creative Sheets.

For the top row die-cut a thin scalloped border with 3D Foam Creative Sheets. In the next row, apply a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4-inch. Below it, place a strip of Crafty Foam Tape Black and a row of 3D Foam Circles White in small size underneath. Cut a thin strip of 3D Foam Creative Sheet using my paper trimmer. Then die-cut a different scalloped border with 3D Foam Creative Sheets and placed it at the very bottom. Finally, add a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape ½-inch above the border.

Foiling Fun

Now the fun part: foiling! I’m using a combination of the red and silver foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit, magenta foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Variety, and the silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Holographic.

Taking one row at a time, remove the top liner and apply the foil color side UP, rub the foil with my fingertip to transfer the color and peel off. Simple! Repeat with the rest of the rows, using the desired foil color.

Designer Tip: Reapply the foil if you missed a spot.

Adding the Glitter Tag

Let’s make a silver glitter tag ties in with the box. Start by die-cutting four different sized hearts with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. It is so easy to cut and leaves no residue on my dies.

Using the same combination of foils on the treat box, place a heart die cut on the bottom of a silver glitter tag and remove the top liner. Apply the foil as mentioned above. Repeat with the other hearts.

Thread the ribbon through the top of the tag and tie around the handle of the box. Secure it even more by adding the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2-inch in the ribbon before tying it onto the box.

I love using the Metallic Transfer Foils, they add such an impact to a project and make it look much more complicated than it really is. Without much time and effort, you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day Treat Box!

Have a crafty day!

Christmas Photo Cube

Posted on December 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back, festive friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and festive little gift idea to share. What a sweet piece to display for the holidays! Here are all the details on my Christmas Photo Cube.

Let’s Get Crafty!

Start with a plain plastic photo cube, I picked mine up at my local dollar store. The first step is to measure your cube, and then cut pieces of patterned paper or cardstock to cover the 4 sides and top of the Christmas Photo Cube. Adhere these base pieces of patterned paper and cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Mat the cropped photos in white cardstock and then adhere to the sides of the cube using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Embellishing the Photo Cube

Using a circle punch, I cut a piece of patterned paper to go on top of the wooden spool and adhered it using an Adhesive Dot Medium. Then measure and cut a piece of patterned paper to fit around the spool, and adhere using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. The mini tree and spool are attached to the top of the Christmas Photo Cube using Adhesive Dots Medium.

Embellishments are added to the sides of the Christmas Photo Cube and top using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Candy stickers are adhered to the mini tree using Adhesive Dots Micro.

Add the mini tag with a string bow using layered 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the top of the Christmas Photo Cube.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Merry Card Set Tutorial

Posted on December 19, 2019 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie Mercer here with these Merry Card Set with a little extra special surprise when you open the card. I’m using adorable holiday papers along with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to make sure these cards assemble with ease!

Merry Card Set Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Merry Card Set Instructions

Create a grid design using various holiday patterned papers. Adhere to every other rectangle with 3D Foam Squares Mix White creating dimension.

Create a pocket to hold the chocolate mix. Adhere the pattern paper, to the pocket, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill inside. An easy way to create the pocket is, fold over a piece of heavy cardstock, adhere both sides together.

Here’s a quick video on How to Use and Refill the E-Z Runner Grand below.

Adhere the pocket to the inside of the card, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. The inside of the cards can hold a gift card also or both!

The sky is the limit on creating gift cards! These cards are 6 x 6-inch in size and are big enough to add the gift inside the card. They will also look festive on a package or on a Christmas tree!

Be Merry Card Instructions

The second card is themed using a grid to create the card design. Instead of rectangles, use strips of pattern paper and adhere them to the card front with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill. Use white 3D Foam Squares to adhere to the paper and the die cuts to make easy dimension!
