Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags

Hi, Connie here to share a set of Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags. They can be used as bookmarks…that was my plan all along! The encouraging words are a plus too.

Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The inspiration came from the flower button by Buttons Galore and More. The color and the homespun fabric made for a beautiful starting point.

Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A look at the products used and a few more to create the tag bookmarks. I started with the Distress Oxide Inks to get a mixed-media background for the focal image. Follow along with my step-out tutorial.

Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags Details

Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. Cut the tags to 2 1/2″ x 6″ cut from heavy white cardstock. Stamp a focal image on the tag first. Add other accent stamps to create the desired mixed-media look. Using a corner rounder tool, punch the bottom corners.
    2. Mount the tag with a coordinating cardstock mat with Crafty Foam Tape 108′.
    3. Stamp word strips and adhere to the tag front using 3D Foam Strips Black.
    4. Finish the tag with a fabric tie and button charm.

I used 3D Foam Strips White to adhere the word strip to the bookmark tag that has the deer on it. The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere a tag reinforcement to the top of the tag (for the fabric tie).

These tags are put together a little differently. Using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere a white cardstock panel behind the tag front (making the tag stronger).

All four bookmark tags were speckled with white acrylic paint for a distressed wintery look.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Button Christmas Card

Hi everyone, with Christmas only a few days away, it’s time for some last-minute Christmas card inspiration so I made this Button Christmas Card. The great thing about this card is that it’s super easy and quick to create. 

Button Christmas Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And… it’s so easy to create that it’s also suitable for beginning cardmakers. The eyecatcher of this card is….buttons! Shall we get started?

Top Card Panel

To create the top Card Panel of the Button Christmas Card start by die-cutting and embossing six small squares from white cardstock. Then adhere them to a piece of green patterned paper.

Button Christmas Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used a ruler to line the squares perfectly. For a nice uplifting effect, I adhered the embossed squares onto the card panel using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Card Base

Adhere the top card panel onto a red card panel and next onto a white card base. To adhere the layers I used the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Button Christmas Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Button Time

To dress the Button Christmas Card up I used….buttons! First I cut off the loops on the back using pliers and then adhered these gorgeous Christmas-themed buttons onto the white embossed squares using Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin. Adhesive Dots is a great adhesive to adhere to all kinds of materials and it won’t leave any glue stains!

Button Christmas Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And voilá, your Button Christmas Card is ready. Super easy and quick to make! Wishing you a happy Christmas crafting!

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper

Hi, Judy here today! As I often give homemade cookies to friends and family around the holidays, I decided to make some festive Christmas Cookie Bag Toppers. It’s an easy project and can be done in steps to fit a busy schedule.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply Adhesive Sheets

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut approximately 4 x 6-inch pieces of white, red, and aqua cardstock. Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of each one.

Die Cut Cookies

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use cookie dies and die cutting machine to cut cookie base shapes from Kraft heavy cardstock.

From aqua cardstock with adhesive on the back, cut star frosting pieces. Also, cut snowflakes from white cardstock with adhesive on the back. When I cut those, the back liner didn’t cut through so I left them in place and simply peeled them off the liner for assembly.

Use red cardstock with adhesive backing to cut a large red frosting heart and a small red one for each cookie. From white cardstock cut white frosting heart (medium size). To save paper, I cut a small red heart from the center of some of the larger red hearts. When assembled the white heart covers the opening.

Assemble Cookies

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To decorate star cookies, peel the liner from the aqua piece and fasten it to the Kraft star. Then lift a snowflake from the liner and attach it to the aqua shape. Press firmly to get good adhesion.

For heart cookies, peel the liner from the large red heart and place it on the Kraft cookie base. Next, take the liner off the white heart and place it over the red heart. Lastly, remove the liner from the small red heart and place it on top.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use an ink applicator and Distress Vintage Photo to add light color around the edges of cookies.

Greeting Tag

Use tag die and die cutting machine to cut Kraft tag.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp greeting with Versamark ink, cover with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Apply Distress Vintage Photo ink to the edges.

Form Topper

Cut a 5.5 x 5.5 inch piece of Kraft cardstock, score, and fold it in half.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut 2.75 x 5.5 inch piece of wood grain patterned paper. Apply adhesive to the back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and attach to the Kraft topper. Rub Distress Vintage Photo ink along the edges.

Finish Topper

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the snowflake and heart cookies and also on the back of the tag. Arrange on the topper, remove liners, and press in place. Loop a piece of red and white bakers twine through the hole of the tag.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. inside topper on each side.

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fill the bag with cookies and seal. Peel the liners from the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. and place the Cookie Topper over the top of the bag.

Festive Gift Card Holder

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a festive and TASTY gift card holder idea to share. This is the perfect way to present the practical gift of a gift card in a fun way. Here are all the details.

Festive Gift Card Holder by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Make Giving Crafty!

The first step with this project is to measure your chocolate bar. This will determine the measurements for the gift card booklet. You want the first measurement to be just slightly bigger than the chocolate bar. My piece of green cardstock is cut to 7.25″ (length of chocolate bar) by 6.75″. By measuring the shorter edge, score at the 3″ mark and the 3.75″ mark. Fold and create your booklet.

Festive Gift Card Holder by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the patterned paper pieces and white cardstock mats for the front, back, and side of the gift card holder.
White Cardstock- 2.75×7 (2 of them)
Red Patterned Paper- 2.5×6.75 (2 of them)
Striped Patterned Paper- 0.5×7
Adhere these layers to the gift card holder booklet using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Festive Gift Card Holder by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using the same measurements are above. Cut the patterned paper to cover one side of the inside, and the middle inside strip of the gift card holder. My gift card came with this cute little envelope, so I added patterned paper to that as well. Adhere these layers together, again using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Festive Gift Card Holder by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now it’s time to attach the chocolate bar. Using Adhesive Dots 3D, add the chocolate bar to the right hand side of the gift card holder.

Festive Gift Card Holder by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The final touches, are to add embellishments to the front of the booklet using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Stars and Frame Textured Cards

Hi, everyone! Love to add texture to your handmade cards? Teri here to show you two cards with gobs of texture.

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Frames

Blend ink colors onto panels of white cardstock. Consider masking off part of the panels so you only apply ink to the middle. Designer’s Tip: Make your strips of masking paper to do it. Check out this DIY Masking Strips Tutorial. Once you’ve applied your ink, use an embossing folder and die-cutting machine to add texture to your paper panels for extra pop!

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place 3D Foam Frames on your panels, and add some 3D Foam Stars and 3D Foam Circles as well. Trim the excess paper with scissors.

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Flock

Take off the liners on the 3D Foam Frames, 3D Foam Stars, and 3D Foam Circles. Cover them with white flock, and press into the foam to secure them. Tap off the excess – maybe use a small brush to help. You could use glitter instead if you want a more blinged-out look!

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create Your Card Bases, Add the Frames and Decorate Some More

Create cards from cardstock. Cover them with patterned paper. Add your textured panels to your cards, securing them at an angle and leaving a little bit off the edge of each card. I recommend using an especially strong adhesive, like Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″, with embossed papers. Be sure to push the tape onto the panels to secure and avoid the risk of it pulling off when removing the release paper. Trim the edge of your paper panels with your scissors.

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp sentiments on strips of cardstock. Apply Crafty Foam Tape to them. If your strip is narrow, simply cut the foam tape with your scissors to make it fit!

Stars and Frame Textured Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Complete your cards by adding your sentiment strips to them, as well as some small embellishments. Small clay shapes, gems, and sequins all work well for this.

Embroidered Bauble Card

Hi everyone, can you believe that Christmas is only three weeks away? I am in a Christmas crafting mood and made this embroidered Bauble Card. Working with white on white cardstock and then adding an embossed background makes this card very classy. I would love to share how I made my card… wanna join me?

Embroidered Bauble Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base

Start making the top card panel. I used white cardstock and an old embossing folder to create the perfect background for my Embroidered Bauble Card. Mat the embossed panel onto a grey panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere to a white card base using the same adhesive.

Creating the Bauble.

To create the bauble for my Embroidered Bauble Card I die-cut the bauble from white cardstock. Then embroider the bauble with embroidery floss. I used the colors pink, soft pink, and gold. Next die-cut the bauble top and the filigree parts from shiny gold cardstock. Adhere the parts to the bauble using the Dual Tip Glue Pen for precise adhering.

Embroidered Bauble Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing the Card

To add a subtle pop-up effect to the Embroidered Bauble Card I adhere the embroidered bauble onto the card base using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips.

Embroidered Bauble Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere a sentiment sticker onto a strip of grey cardstock and place it on the bauble with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. For a finishing touch, I adhered small pearls onto the bauble and also a small silver bow on top of the bauble using Adhesive Dots Micro to prevent any glue stains. And voilá, the Embroidered Bauble Card is ready. Wishing you happy crafting!

Merry Christmas Greeting Card

Hi, Connie here with a Merry Christmas Greeting Card featuring Creative Photo Corners in White and the E-Z Runner® Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser. I have also added Season to be Jolly patterned paper and stamps by Dare 2B Artsy.

Merry Christmas Greeting Card Step Outs

I have a few step photos showing how the Creative Photo Corners highlight the focal image of the card.

Merry Christmas Greeting Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To create the focal image, stamps were used on 2″x 2″ size squares making a grid. The grid was adhered to black cardstock using the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser. This worked perfectly to help keep the squares straight.

Holiday Plaid Pocket Tag

Hi, Margie here today with a wonderful Holiday Plaid Pocket Tag that you can tuck in a gift card and a gift tag. I used a thin metal cutting die but you can find online a pocket tag tutorial or two.

Holiday Plaid Pocket Tag by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Holiday Plaid Pocket Tag Pieces

Die-Cut a pocket tag base from the Boughs of Holly patterned paper with the Interactive Tag Die. Next, die-cut a tag from the tag die paper with Tula & Norbert’s Christmas Party Tag Die. For the decorative elements, die-cut a 2 1/8-inch scalloped circle from white cardstock and a 1 5/8-inch circle from the Boughs of Holly patterned paper.

Holiday Plaid Pocket Tag by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Pocket Tag

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. on the tab and bottom of the pocket tag base. Remove the liners and secure to create the pocket tag. Add Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to the back of the circle and secure it on the white scalloped circle. Then adhere the layered circle to the pocket tag front with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the Tag Front

Choose your star placement with 3D Foam Stars for the top of the layered circle. Foil with a combination of green, red, and gold from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Remove the top liner of each star and place the foil COLOR SIDE FACING YOU. Rub with your fingertips to transfer the color to the star. Repeat steps.

Embellish the Gift Tag

Depending on your tag design, place the 3D Foam Stars as desired. I chose the same foil combination of green, red, and gold from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Repeat the foiling steps as above. Add into the pocket with a gift card and it’s ready to give away!

Hope you enjoy this gift presentation. Share your creation in the comments below. I would love to visit and leave a comment 🙂 Thanks for visiting!

Christmas Gift Card Holder

Hi, Judy here today! Here it is the end of November and I’m feeling the holiday pressure. As usual, I have far more ideas for things to make than time! With that in mind, I made an easy to make Christmas Gift Card Holder with patterned papers and printed tag fastened to a sleeve band that holds it closed.

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card and Score Card Base

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut a 5.25 x 11-inch piece of double-sided pattern paper. Use a scoring board to score at 2.5, 6.25, 7.5, and 8.75 inches

Assemble the Card Base

With the outer side of the paper face down, fold up at a 2.5-inch score line and 6.25-inch score line (valley folds). Fold back on a 7.5-inch scoreline (mountain fold) and then fold up on an 8.75-inch scoreline (valley fold).

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

On the back side of the paper, apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. along the 6.25-inch fold and at the ends between folds. This will form a stand-up pocket for the gift card.

Create a Card Pocket Opening

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Measure and mark about .75 inches from each end of top edge of gift card holder. Use scissors to cut away a narrow strip along the folded edge between marks. This will open a pocket for the gift card. Rub Distress Vintage Photo ink along the edges of the pocket and all edges of the card.

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp Greeting

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut a 0.375 x 5.25-inch strip of Balsa cardstock. Stamp Merry Christmas with black ink towards the right end. Apply Distress Vintage Photo ink along the edges and lightly over the strip.

Secure the Greeting and the Border

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut 1 x 5.25 inch piece of green pattern paper. Apply adhesive to the back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten along the front flap edge of the gift card holder. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. to the back of the stamped greeting strip, peel the liner, and secure it across the green border.

A Sleeve Band

Cut a 2.25 x 8.25-inch piece of stripe paper. Rub Distress Vintage Photo ink on the edges.

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place against closed card front and fold ends to back. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. on the back of one edge, peel the liner, tape the ends, and press together.

Add Decorative Tag

Christmas Gift Card Holder by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Ink edges of ephemera tag with Distress Vintage Photo ink. Thread red pearl cotton through the tag hole and tie a small bow.
