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.

Add the die-cut pieces and stickers to the card front. Use Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for some extra dimension to this Thankful Shaker Card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inked Happy Birthday Card

Posted on May 9, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Looking for a colorful Happy Birthday Card? Hi, Margie here today! I am sharing an Inked Happy Birthday Card and showing what adhesives I used to ensure elements stick!

Inked Happy Birthday Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Inked Birthday Background

My card size is a standard A2 size (4.25 x 5.5 inch) so I cut down my white cardstock card panel to 4 x 5.25 inch. Using the fun ink tool applicators, I inked my background in three colors. Let it dry completely or hit it with a heat tool.

Working on the Sentiment

For a clean adhesion, I apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. on the back of a white cardstock piece before die-cutting Happy Birthday. I love the edge-to-edge coverage – think sticker! Next die-cut the black sentiment outline. Remove the backing from the sentiment and place it on the outline piece.

Assembling the Inked Birthday Card

Let’s work on the card panel first. Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser, center the sentiment on the inked card panel. Then apply several 3D Foam Strips Large White to the back and place it on the card base. I like using them as they don’t curl up like the big rolls of foam tape…although I love those too. LOL!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

Instead of sequins and gems, I used the smallest size of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and the silver fine glitter sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack to embellish. Randomly place your circles, remove the top liner, and place the foil over the exposed adhesive (make sure the color side is facing you). Rub gently to transfer the color to the foam, peel off, and done! So easy!

Hello Friend Panda Card

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Is anyone else excited for the carefree days of Summer? Teri here with a Summer-inspired Hello Friend Panda Card. It’s perfect to send to a friend during the hot days of June, July, and August!

Hello Friend Panda Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp Panda and Summer Images

Start by stamping, die-cutting, and coloring in a few Summer-themed images. Don’t have the stamps I used? That’s OK! Pick some stamps that embody the feel of the season!

Embellish your images by adhering them together. Use a flat adhesive on some of the images. I love using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser for this because the adhesive is dry and not messy, plus I can work quickly with it.

Use 3D Foam to adhere some of the remaining images. This will give them pop. I used 3D Foam Strips because they are long and skinny and can easily be cut up to fit any small space. You can also use them together to make thicker strips!

Decorate Your Card

Set your images aside. Adhere strips of patterned paper onto a card. Emboss a panel of vellum and adhere it on top of the card with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Take a strip of cardstock. Create a pattern by adhering Creative Photo Corners in White onto it. Mount the strip to your card.

Add your stamped images onto your card, along with a sentiment. Complete your card by adding few sequins or small embellishments to it.

I hope you are inspired to make a Summer-themed Hello Friend Panda Card of your own! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Creating!

Glittered Celebrate Card

Posted on May 5, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a sparkling Glittered Celebrate Card that is super easy to create. It is suitable for beginner cardmakers.

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

I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique in creating this Glittered Celebrate Card. Wanna join me in making this fun card?

Glittered Celebrate Card Base

Start by trimming a piece of patterned paper to a rectangle top card panel. Then adhere onto a yellow card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive. Next, adhere to a white card base.

Die-cutting 3D Foam

3D Foam Sheets Medium White are perfect for die-cutting and will create a gorgeous uplifting effect for this Glittered Celebrate Card. First, die-cut the Celebrate element from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White.

Then carefully take out the whole die-cut.

Make sure no piece of the die-cut falls out. Next carefully remove the back liner of the foam die-cut.

Then adhere the whole foam die-cut onto the card base.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

Now the glitter fun starts! Carefully remove the top liner of two letters (I chose C and R) and cover them with blue glitter. Rub the glitter into the letters to secure, and tap off the excess glitter.

Repeat the glittering steps with the other letters, using different colors. When all the letters are glittered, remove the outside liner (including the small bits within the letters) and sprinkle white glitter all over.

After applying the glitter, remember to tap off the excess. Now you’ve completed the Wear Your Adhsive on the Outside technique. So simple with stunning results!

And…voilá, your Glittered Celebrate Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Airport Shenanigans Layout

Posted on May 4, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Happy iNational Scrapbook Day! Hi, Margie here today with a layout from our trip to Japan last fall. Pictures are from the two airports we used to get to our destination. Do you have photos like these? Let me share how I document our Airport Shenanigans!

Airport Shenanigans Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pictures of our Airport Shenanigans

Do you have pictures of your shenanigans at the airport? We had a lot to choose from but ended up with our top six favorites to put into a collage format. I mat the image onto a light green cardstock based on some green tones in the pictures.

Next, I cut along the bottom edge of the airplane to tuck the matted photo in. I didn’t want to hide the plane and thought this was a good compromise 🙂 To secure, I applied the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and then accented each corner with a Creative Photo Corners Silver.

Airport Title

My title was going to be straightforward (airport codes) so I decided to add a sparkly accent in the middle. With the smallest 3D Foam Stars, I placed it on the tail of the plane and took off the top liner. With a piece of fine silver glitter foil sheet from the pack, I covered the star with the color side facing me and rubbed it to transfer the color to the star. Peel off and you have an instant embellishment!

Die-cut the airport codes with a light green cardstock and place 3D Foam Strips behind the letters to pop them up. Designer’s Tip: use a T-ruler to help line up your title.

For the finishing touches, I added a computer-generated journal and secured it with 3D Foam Strips. Randomly placed rhinestones with a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Mini.

Heartfelt My Favorite Friendship Card

Posted on May 3, 2024 by Liz Ketter

Hi, Liz here today! I am up with my next card in my Heartfelt Card series. I decided to make another friendship card. It just seems that lately many of my friends need a little reminder that someone is thinking of them.

These cards are simple and easy to create with supplies that you have on hand. I like to have a stash of cards ready to send out at a moment’s notice. Don’t worry if you don’t have a stash of cards. I have you covered. With just paper, stickers, and adhesive you can create a card in 30 minutes or less. Let’s get going with the tutorial!

Heartfelt My Favorite Friendship Card by Liz Ketter for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My Favorite Friendship Card Panels and Elements

This card has a horizontal opening rather than a vertical opening. Be sure that any directional items on your paper are going the right way before you cut. You can see on my card that I have a floral background on my card. I had to make sure that I cut that piece of paper the right way so the flowers go up instead of sideways on the card.

Cut 2 background panels, one at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for the bottom base and one at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the base topper. Cut a strip 4″ x 1/1/4″ for the band. Gather sentiment stickers.

Assemble the Card Background

Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser adhere the base panel to the card, then center and attach the floral panel on top.

Add Dimension with Lifted Elements

To lift the elements and create dimension on this card, I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. These packs are my Go-To when it comes to dimension-making with their two different sizes. The regular size squares were used to adhere the band. For the blue heart embellishment, I popped it up with the smaller foam squares for a sweet touch.

You are finished with the Heartfelt My Favorite Friendship Card! Now wasn’t that quick and easy? I keep the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and the 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the top of my craft desk so they are available for any project.

I hope I have inspired you to create a card or two.

Thanks for visiting!

Circle Butterfly Happiness Found Tag

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Lara Scott

Who doesn’t love a butterfly? My Happiness Found Tag features this beautiful butterfly shape framed with 3D Foam Circle Frames White. Hi, Lara here today to show you how I created this elegant tag.

Circle Butterfly Happiness Found Tag by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happiness Found Tag Layers

For the base of the tag, I covered a 3 x 6-inch shipping tag with patterned paper and then added a gold opening reinforcer with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. The next layer was a 2.5 x 5-inch rectangle cut from white cardstock. I placed a clear sentiment sticker at the bottom and outlined the rectangle with a black marker.

Adding Details

Next, I popped up a pre-printed sentiment with the smaller size of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix above the sticker sentiment. The butterfly shape was adhered and lifted with 3D Foam Strips placed on the back of its body to give it movement and interest. The 1/8″ width is the perfect size.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames

Getting to this point, I found that I needed a little something to accent the butterfly focal point. Using the seven largest 3D Foam Circle Frames White (counting from smallest to largest), I placed it behind the butterfly to anchor my design.

Peeling one half off the top liner, I placed the foil color facing me over the exposed adhesive and gently rubbed the foil to transfer the color to the circle frame. Then take the other half off of the liner and repeat the foiling steps. BTW, I chose the chunky gold glitter foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack.

I love how this Circle Butterfly Happiness Found Tag turned out! Maybe this tutorial helps you to give it a try. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Crafting!

EAT Sweet & Simple Card

Posted on April 28, 2024 by Shannon Allor

Hi, Shannon here today! I am ever so excited to bring you this EAT Sweet and Simple Card using the new “Home Cafe” Collection from Fancy Pants Designs and some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L products!

EAT Sweet and Simple Card by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

EAT Sweet & Simple Base

I love to use patterned paper for the base of my cards. I try to find a pattern that is gorgeous on both sides. This one from Fancy Pants Designs was perfect with the bright white and teal print. It was perfect to use with a huge fussy cut floral and a simple sentiment! The 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips were perfect adhesives for the front of my card!

I used the same paper as the cover to have a cohesive feel and popped up the inner sentiment using Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. It’s so easy to use and you can tear it without scissors. To secure the teal paper nicely, I attached it using my favorite adhesive, the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing Touches on the EAT Sweet and Simple Card

I added finishing touches to this fun card by rounding the corners of an inside card panel and adding a couple of Fancy Pants Designs Enamel Dots. This EAT Sweet and Simple Card came together so quickly!

Moooost Valuable Card

Posted on April 25, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, Jingle here today and I look forward to sharing a very fun Moooost Value Card with you. It is amazing what you can do with just the right adhesives at your fingertips!

Moooost Valuable Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Here is the secret – this card makes the moooost of some really great Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to make a simple design really pop! And I mean that literally!

Moooost Valuable Card Parts

I started by creating the colorful striped background panel by simply adding the strips to an Adhesive Sheet, 4×6, trimming to size, and then adhering the entire panel to the card base. I used the flat adhesive sheets, but you could do this with the 3D Foam Adhesive Sheets Mix, as well.

Stamping Parts

For the images, stamp each one, color them, and then die-cut them. To adhere each element to the inked panel, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. I pulled out the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere the stamped and embossed sentiment panel to the card. Finally, I used Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. to adhere the panel with the images over the stripes for a super cute design!

This is a wonderfully playful Moooost Valuable Card and it has loads of dimension thanks to the fantastic adhesives I was able to bring together to create the design. Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a wonderful day!

DIY Stencil Hi Friend Card

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you like to use stencils when you make handmade cards? Teri here to show you an easy way to make your DIY Stencil with cutting dies and Self-Laminating Pouches – Medium!

DIY Stencil Hi Friend Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These stencils are easy to make and perfect to use again and again!

Create a DIY Stencil

Start by sealing a Self-Laminating Pouch. Set a few cutting dies on it and run it through your die-cutting machine. I recommend using a basic shape that is broad and open. Secure your dies with washi tape in case you need to run the pouch through your machine multiple times, and to avoid shifting. Also, if your machine does not cut through the pouch completely, use scissors to complete the cuts.

Use with Inks

Set the stencil on a piece of cardstock. Use it to apply ink to the panel.

Kick up your inking by adding more ink. With a piece of scrap paper, apply the back with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Dispenser. It will serve as a temporary mask. Partially cover your stencil opening, and apply another layer of ink. Then gently peel off the scrap paper, and you’ll end up with two shades of ink in each opening.

Embellish the Card Panel

Give your panel a little texture by placing it in a dry embossing folder and running it through your die-cutting machine. Use what you have in your embossing folder stash, such as dots, stripes, and even flowers, for a different vibe!

Add a Creative Photo Corners White to each corner of the card panel. Then adhere the panel to a card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing Touches to the Card

Stamp and die-cut a sentiment strip. Place it on your card with 3D Foam Strips which is perfect as it has a 1/8″ width. Randomly place some 3D Foam Butterflies on the panel, remove the top liner, and cover them with the flock. Make sure to completely cover the shapes, and press down into the adhesive to secure. Shake off the excess.

Complete your card by embellishing it with clay shapes, gems, or sequins using the Adhesive Dots Micro.

Remember to clean your homemade stencil by wiping any ink off of it with a baby wipe or water and drying it off. Be sure to set it aside so you can use it over and over again! I hope you’ll give this DIY Stencil Making technique a go!

Happy Creating!
