Bunny Shaped Easel Card

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with a sweet Bunny Shaped Easel Card for Easter. Easel cards are very simple to make and you only have to create a beautiful top layer. For a twist, my card is a bunny-shaped card too.

Bunny Shaped Easel Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Bunny Shaped Easel Card Base

Start by cutting a regular 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base and score at 5-1/2″. Fold your card to accommodate the largest shaped die from the Rabbit Shaped Die Set. Die-cut into the card base with the top of the die protruding slightly over the card base fold. This will create a hinged card base. Then, cut another bunny from the largest die and the decorative bunny-shaped die using the same color of cardstock.

Bunny Shaped Easel Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s start with the hinged card base. First, score the card front horizontally through the middle. Then, apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen to the bottom half of the scored area and place the solid bunny shape on top to form one bunny. Now you have a bunny shaped easel card!

Bunny Shaped Easel Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Top Card Panel Layer

To give texture and interest to the card front, add the decorative bunny layer by securing it with 3D Foam Squares Micro White. These squares are 1/8-inch small and are perfect to go behind intricate designs like this one.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foils

Now to add sparkle and a function, the stopper for the easel front. First, I adhered a piece from the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 in. onto white smooth cardstock. My plan is to die-cut an egg and a butterfly, making sure the front of them has adhesive on the front side.

Bunny Shaped Easel Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

But I wanted to stack them (egg and butterfly) with two more layers so I die-cut two more times and layered them with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I made sure the top die cut shapes had the Adhesive on top.

Now remove the top liners from the egg and butterfly, place the foil color side up, and rub gently with your fingertips to transfer the color to the shapes. I use a combination of magenta and turquoise foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety.

Bunny Shaped Easel Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the stopper, the foiled egg, to the card base with 3D Foam Squares Micro White, so that the decorated panel can stand up.

Embellishing the Easel Shaped Card

To embellish the easel shaped card for Easter, I pasted the foiled butterfly to the body of the rabbit with 3D Foam Squares Micro White. Additionally, I foiled the HAPPY EASTER letters included on the 3D Foam Easter Shapes Kit to complete the idea. I used a piece of Purple Foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Package colors.

Finishing Touches

Place a pink ribbon bow on the bunny’s neck using an Adhesive Dot Large. It is flexible to let me position the bow the way I like.

Butterflies and Flowers Cards

Hi, everyone! Ready for Spring? Teri here to show how to make a couple of Spring-themed Butterflies and Flowers Cards with sparkle and shine. Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Butterflies, 3D Foam Garden Shapes, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors!

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mats for the Butterflies and Flowers Cards

Start by cutting several circles from white cardstock and adhering a few of the 3D Foam Butterflies and the flowers from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes on them. Apply transfer foil onto them: take off the liners, place the foil color side UP, and rub with your fingertips to transfer the color. Simple!

Designer’s Tip: I like to make a lot of circles at one time so I can make a couple of cards at once! If you only want to create one card, make just a few circles.

If your shapes have multiple pieces in them, try using two different colors (red and gold) of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate. Apply foil to the largest piece of the shape first. Then burnish the foil onto the smaller sections.

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Take a 3D Foam Frame and adhere it to patterned paper. Use your scissors to cut around the frame. Adhere a piece of patterned paper onto a card base. Affix your frame onto the card at an angle and cut off any excess.

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mount a couple of your circles onto your card. Place some string or thread on the back of a third circle. Add some 3D Foam Strips to the circle and place them on your card.

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Complete your card by stamping a sentiment onto cardstock, cutting it up, and mounting the words to the card with 3D Foam Strips.

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Card with More Circles

Don’t limit yourself to creating a card with just three circles. Try adding more! Who doesn’t love butterflies and flowers?! This card has five circles worth!

Butterflies and Flowers Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To give the circles some pop, adhere some of them onto the card with 3D Foam Strips. Rather the framing them with a foam frame, frame the frame with them! Complete the card by adding a sentiment inside the frame.

Flower + Grid Love Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Flower + Grid Love Card. I can’t believe how time flies and see the first spring flowers blooming in our garden here in Holland. This was the inspiration for the card I made. The card is simple to create and I would love to share how I made it. Wanna join me?

Flower + Grid Love Card by Yvonne van de Grjip for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Grid Background

Start by punching out 15 squares size 1 1/4″ from white lined cardstock. I used a punch, but if you don’t have one, you can also die-cut or simply cut them out using scissors or a craft knife. Next I adhered a 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size to the back of each square. I distressed the edges of each square and made some extra torn by hand.

Then adhere the squares lined up (3×5) onto a piece of pink cardstock. Leave a little space between all the squares to emphasize the uplifting effect. This is the top card panel for your Flower Grid Love card.

Making the Card Base

First, trim the pink top card panel of the Flower + Grid Love card. It gives a nice effect and balances your card if the space between the distressed and torn squares is the same as the outline size of the card panel. Next, adhere onto an orange card panel using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere the layers. Then adhere to a white card base, again using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser as an adhesive.

Embellishing the Flower Love Card

To embellish the card I used mulberry flowers which I stacked and adhere to the layers using Adhesive Dots Micro. Then adhered the (stacked Flowers onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. As a finishing touch, I adhered a wooden Love sentiment onto the card using Adhesive Dots Micro. And voilá, your Flower love card is ready!

Flower + Grid Love Card by Yvonne van de Grjip for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thanks for joining me in making this Flower + Grid Love Card and wishing you happy crafting!

Let Your Light Shine Card

Hi, Connie here with a mixed media Let Your Light Shine Card using the E-Z Runner Grand Repositional Dots Refillable Dispenser to add texture. Stamps and stencils are a must to complete a distressed inspired card front. That’s the goal!

Let Your Light Shine Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The only prep work on this is to add color to the card base. I went with my “go to” color which is green.

Let Your Light Shine Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add Texture to the Let Your Light Shine Card

Let Your Light Shine Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. I used several green tones to get a good mix of colors for the card background. I added several stamps and stencils to get the distressed look I was going after.
    2. Apply the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser up and down the card front.
    Using a paper towel rub the adhesive dots off. Repeat until you get the look you want.
    3. Stamp the flowers and color them. Watercolor, markers, pan pastels – you choose.
    4. Cut the flowers out and set them aside.

Framed Birthday Cake Card

Happy March! Jamie here today and boy do I have a lot of birthdays coming up this month! So I am sharing a fun Framed Birthday Cake Card. If you’re coloring challenged or just don’t have the time, this is the card for you.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Birthday Cake

Firstly, I die-cut all of the pieces from the Stitched Fringe Cake, which includes three layers of the cake from pastel cardstock and the cake plate from mirrored gold glossy paper. The candles were die-cut from purple cardstock. Lastly, the flames were cut from yellow cardstock.

Gold glitter washi tape was placed across the center of each layer. Because the washi tape didn’t stick well, I dabbed some Dual Tip Glue Pen on it.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the cake plate, I placed 3D Foam Squares Micro White on its back and set it aside.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Framing the Card Front

A frame was die-cut from blue cardstock using the Nested Rectangle with Square Holes Die.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue the frame to a white cardstock panel. By the way, I embossed the panel with a Quilted Stitched Pierced Cover Die for texture.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mount the panel to a white card using the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing the Birthday Cake

The cake plate is popped up at the bottom of the card. Using strips of Crafty Foam Tape, lift the two bottom layers of the cake. Leave the top layer to the side for now.

Glue the candle flames to the back of the candles with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Line up the candles with a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ placed across the bottom.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then add the top layer on top of the adhesive to keep them straight. Adhere a piece of the Crafty Foam Tape across the back of the top cake layer and place it on the card. Behind each flame, apply a 3D Foam Squares Micro with a craft knife.

Framed Birthday Cake Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing Touches

Stamp the sentiment on a blue cardstock strip with VersaMark Ink, and heat embossed with Champagne Embossing Powder. Then popped up and adhered across the stem of the cake plate using 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Randomly place enamel dots on the card. Then add touches of Crystal Stickles to each of the flames.

Easy Shamrock Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have such a cute and Easy Shamrock Card tutorial to share. Here are all the step-by-step details.

Easy Shamrock Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wishing You Crafty Luck!

First, cut the cardstock layers for your A2 card. The top layer is green cardstock, then gold foil cardstock, and then dark green cardstock. The card base is white cardstock. Add the stamped sentiment to the bottom of the card front using an embossing pad and gold embossing powder.

Easy Shamrock Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using four hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts, create the shamrock shape on the card front.

Easy Shamrock Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using a 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix, I cut out a little stem for the shamrock. Add this below the shamrock shape. Such a simple way to create this Easy Shamrock Card.

Easy Shamrock Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Grab the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Using the yellow sheet of foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, add it to the shamrock. Simply remove the liners, face the foil color side up, and rub with your fingertip to transfer the color to the adhesive.

Easy Shamrock Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the card layers together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and add Creative Photo Corners Gold to the top layer of the card.

Add green glitter glue around the shamrock image. This just adds a little bit of sparkle. to the Easy Shamrock Card. Let dry completely.

Friendship Flower Card

Hi everyone! I’m thinking of spring and bright flowers with this Friendship Flower Card today. I used watercolors to paint the flowers and added details with a black pen. Putting together cards with these flowers has become a favorite of mine! I used some leftover pieces from other projects for the background pieces.

Friendship Flower Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Friendship Flower Card Parts

Friendship Flower Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Paint three flowers and leaves with watercolors, when dry add details with a black pen and then fussy cut them out. Stamp a random grid pattern on a 5 x 7-inch white card with Distress Oxide Saltwater Taffy ink, that’s been off-stamped once. Then emboss a 2.25 x 7-inch white cardstock with Swirl embossing folder. Paint a 2.25 x 5-inch white cardstock with a mix of Distress Kitsch Flamingo Paint and white gesso. Stamp a verse on white cardstock with Onyx Black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder and trim to 1.375 x 1.875 inches.

Assemble Layers

Friendship Flower Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Attach the embossed panel to the card using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Since it’s a strong adhesive it that works well for an embossed panel. Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of a pink panel, peel the liners, and fasten to the card front.

Adhere Flowers and Verse

Friendship Flower Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Determine flower placement and add Adhesive Dots Large on the backs of each flower. Don’t forget to allow space for verse. For the larger leaves, use Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to fasten to the card. And for smaller leaves, adhere with Adhesive Dots Large at the stem end. I also used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix under one or two of the top leaves (cut the foam squares as needed to fit leaves).

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of the verse, peel the liners, and fasten in place on the card.

Slimline Happy Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with a Slimline Happy Birthday Card. This is a quick and easy card to make using up ephemera or card kit pieces from your stash.

Slimline Happy Birthday Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Slimline Birthday Card Base

To make this card, I am using different pieces from a Celebration Card Kit. It comes with many patterned papers, cardstock, and ephemera. First, select a decorated card base and add a second layer in a solid cardstock with Crafty Foam Tape 108′.

Slimline Happy Birthday Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assembling the Card

Next, let’s embellish and assemble the card front panel. I started adding the different ephemera pieces. First, I lifted and adhered the large word sentiment to the center of the card, using Crafty Foam Tape 108′. This is a fabulous roll of crafty foam tape that you can cut to the size you need. Plus it gives a subtle lift with its height of 1/32″ (half of 1/16″ so think of it as a Thin 3D Foam Square).

Slimline Happy Birthday Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Continue to add more ephemera pieces with Crafty Foam Tape 108′. For my design, I arranged all the candles behind the gift bag and some balloons on the other side.

Slimline Happy Birthday Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

For a fun accent, I placed 3D Foam Squares Micro White (1/8-inch in size) on the gift bag. Then, I removed the liners and foiled them with the gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Simply face the foil color side UP, and rub with your fingertip to transfer the color. Missed a spot? Reapply the foil. This technique is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Another fun idea, I randomly rolled the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on top of the sentiment and ephemera pieces. Then repeat the same foiling step as above using the same foil color or another from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Instant gratification and no special tools are needed!

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my Slimline Happy Birthday Card. See you soon with more inspiration!

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards

Hi, everyone! Spring often kicks off the wedding season, and a fun way to celebrate a young couple’s union is to give them a handmade card. Teri here to show you how to make some quick wedding cards like these Pretty Framed Wedding Cards!

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Frames

Start by adhering several pieces of patterned paper to a piece of white cardstock. Then mount a combination of 3D Foam Circles in White and 3D Foam Frames onto the pieces of patterned paper.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply the bronze color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors set to the frames. Simply place the foil color facing you and rub the foil over the exposed adhesive to transfer the color. Reapply the foil if you have missed areas.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Panel Embellishing

Adhere a panel of patterned paper onto a white card base. Place a couple of your foiled frames onto it. Consider mixing and matching circles and rectangles together. Place a third frame onto your card, adhering it with a 3D Foam Strip Large White so it can lay across the other frames.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add a few wedding-themed die-cuts to your card. Don’t have any? Make your own decorations with stamps and additional patterned paper.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellish the card by adding a 3D Foam Heart to it. Be sure to add foil to it as well. Also, add some Adhesive Dots Micro and apply foil to them. Complete the card by adding some metallic thread or twine to it.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Switch It Around with the Same Technique

Since I like to make many frames at one time, it’s easy to make a second wedding card to use for another occasion as I did here.

Pretty Framed Wedding Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Change up the design by adding more 3D Foam Hearts to it. While working on this card, I burnished foil onto one side of each heart before placing them on the card. I don’t recommend normally foiling this way, but it can be helpful when adding small foiled 3D Foam Shapes to any design.

Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page

Hi, Connie here with a fun and messy Art Journal page. I’m using the Adhesive Sheets 4×6, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors, and the E-Z Runner® Grand Repositional Dots Refillable Dispenser. This is a great start in creating a background with texture for your Art Journal page.

Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

As always there is some prep work before the texture can be added. I used Distress Oxide inks and stencils first then added the texture. I use lots of stamps and stencils to get the look I like. That is the fun part 🙂

Art Journal Page Texture

Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding elements to the page

Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. Keep adding color to get the look you are happy with. I ended up adding in more blue and yellow ink. To adhere collage papers or ephemera, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Works well as a collage medium.
    2. Die cuts or stamped images were adhered with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
    3. Words are stamped and embossed on black cardstock. Then adhered to the page using my favorite 3D Foam Strips.
    4. Small stars are stamped, cut out, and adhered to the page using the Adhesive Dots Small.
Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Some other cool effects, that add texture to a page, are stamping over the die cut/ephemera. Another one is tearing edges or legs, as in my case :):). Also, speckle acrylic paint over the project. Most of the time I go with white acrylic paint, something about white just makes it all better.
