Card Base Layers for Layered Border Birthday Card

Start by cutting the card base layers for this card. The card base is pink cardstock, vellum layer (4×5.25), gold cardstock (3.75×5) and white cardstock (3.5×4.75).

Add 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the top and bottom edges of the white cardstock layer. Using pink ultra-fine glitter, cover the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and brush off the excess glitter.

Cut a piece of pink cardstock the is 3.5″ wide that fits in between your glitter covered 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Adhere Creative Photo Corners Gold to the top and bottom of this pink cardstock layer.

Adhere all of the layers so far together using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. The E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser is perfect for all of the different paper textures I used for this Layered Border Greeting Card.

Cut a piece of white cardstock that is 3.5″ wide and long enough to cover the black background of the Creative Photo Corners Gold borders. Add rows of 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the top and bottom with more pink glitter. Then add this layer to the Layered Border Greeting Card front, again using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

The final touch is to add the gold puffy sticker sentiment to the top white cardstock layer.

Just For You Mixed Media Card

Posted on September 19, 2023 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a mixed media card, Just For You Card. Grab your Adhesive Sheets 4×6 and Metallic Transfer Foil and let’s get started creating this fun card.

Just For You Mixed Media Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

As always with mixed media there is some prep work. We need a card background to put those crazy birds on.

Creating a card background

1. Gather inks. I use Distress Oxide and water them down. Then I dab the card front in the colors, one at a time. Let dry and repeat for more color.
2. I chose the Nature set, for my Metallic Transfer Foil, to enhance the card front.
3. The Adhesive Sheets 4×6 are perfect for applying the Metallic Transfer Foil to the card front. Form the Adhesive Sheet into a ball. Then pull the cling sheet back and dab the sticky adhesive to random areas on the card.
4. Lay the Metallic Transfer Foil over the sticky adhesive and pull up. Repeat the process to get the look you want.
Now you are ready for stamps and stencils.

Create and assemble the card

1. Add stencils and stamps to create interest. I use Distress Oxide, Hero Hues/Black and Archival inks. The focal images are stamped and trimmed out ready for the card front.
2. To distress the crazy birds and card edges use wax by Hero Arts.
3. Use Crafty Foam Tape 108’/ Black and Crafty Foam Tape 108’/ White to adhere the layers of cardstock together on the white card base.
4. Stamp the sentiment and trim out. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using 3D Foam Strips/Black.
Pop the crazy birds on with 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Dotted Kitten Card

Posted on September 17, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a super cute Dotted Kitten Card. With the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside, it’s so easy to embellish your card with adhesives.

Dotted Kitten Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love you to join me in making this easy-to-create cute kitten card. Shall we get started?

Dotted Kitten Card Base

Trim a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size and mat on a salmon-colored card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere the matted panel to a white card base using the same adhesive.

Stacked Squares

Die-cut and emboss a stitched square from a brushed gold cardstock. With a slightly smaller scalloped square die, I die-cut from a piece of white cardstock. Mat the white square to the golden square with Crafty Foam Tape White. Next, adhere to the card front using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Working with Crafty Foam Tape White adds such a lovely dimensional effect to your card. For more interest, adhere a dimensional kitten sticker onto the Dotted Kitten Card.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

Now it’s time to use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. To add Metallic details to the Dotted Kitten card, I adhered 3D Foam Circles White Mix onto the card and left the liner on.

Some of the circles are halfway tucked under the golden die-cut square. Now carefully remove a few of the circles and sprinkle orange glitter upon them. Then rub the glitter over the 3D Foam Circles White Mix for secure adhering.

Remove more of the liners from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and rub some Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors over these 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Make sure that the colored side of the foil is facing up!

Now repeat with several other colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors.

Finishing Touch

Cut a sentiment banner from the patterned paper and adhere it to a slightly larger white banner using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Then to add a wavy effect to the banner, adhere Crafty Foam Tape White as shown in the picture below.

On both ends, place a layer of Crafty Foam Tape White, and in the middle stack three layers of the same Crafty Foam Tape White. Finally adhere some heart stickers onto the card.

Voilá your Dotted Kitten Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Have A Ball Birthday Card

Posted on September 15, 2023 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here today with a masculine-inspired birthday card, Have a Ball Birthday Card, that is perfect if your guy is a sports lover.

Have A Ball Birthday Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Have a Ball Birthday Card Base

Start with making a texture on the card panel with a 4 x 5 1/4″ white cardstock and an embossing folder that has sports-related words. Run through a die-cutting machine. Next, glue on top of a tan card base using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Since I had my die-cutting machine out, I cut a basketball and a soccer ball. The black outline and details were glued together with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. There were other sports pieces that I die-cut but not pictured such as baseball and football. Some were inked for shading before assembly.

The Focal Point

Die-cut a circle from tan cardstock. Stamp a sentiment on the front with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Add a combination of 3D Foam Strips and 3D Foam Squares White Regular on the back to pop it up on the center of the card. The shapes are perfect for this Have a Ball Birthday Card!

To be level with the tan circle, 3D Foam Circles White was placed on the portion of the balls that were over the embossed panel. Secure the rest of the balls with the Dual Tip Glue Pen onto the tan circle.

Diagonal Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment and embossed it on a white cardstock strip, layered onto a larger piece of black cardstock using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. Pop up the matted sentiment on a diagonal across the top of the tan circle with 3D Foam Strips.

Add the Final Touches

Lastly, randomly place orange enamel dots on the card front for the finishing touch. Done!

Autumn Leaf Card

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Where I live the leaves will soon turn colors. With that thought, I put together an Autumn Card featuring a cut out stamped leaf that’s fastened and popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Subtle stamped images of the same leaf create the background and a stamped title completes the card.

Autumn Leaf Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Parts

Cut white card stock 8.5 x 5.75 inches and fold to form a 4.25 x 5.75-inch card. From Saw Grass cardstock, cut a piece to 3.75 x 5.25 inches, and from dark brown cardstock cut a piece of 3.875 x 5.375 inches.

Stamp leaf with Distress Archival Ground Espresso ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Color Leaf

Use a foam applicator tool to apply Distress inks (Broken China, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, and Twisted Citron) over the leaf extending beyond the edges of the leaf image. Rub over the leaf with a paper towel to remove excess ink. Fussy cut around the leaf allowing a slight border.

Background

Use leaf stamp and Distress Antique Linen ink to stamp the background on Saw Grass paper.

Stamp Verse

Temporarily position the leaf on the background to determine the placement of the verse and then stamp “Autumn” with Onyx Black ink. Ink verse with Onyx Black ink, stamp off once on scrap paper, and then stamp below “Autumn”.

Card Assembly

Adhere the background to a dark brown piece using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispense r. Then apply adhesive to the back with the same adhesive and secure to the card front.

Attach the Leaf

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the leaf. Apply adhesive to stem with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispense r. Peel liners from the foam squares and attach the leaf to the card front.

I hope that inspires you to create a fall-themed project. Enjoy!

You’re Pawsome Shaker Card

Posted on September 11, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a sweet You’re Pawsome Shaker Card to share. Create a super cute card in a matter of minutes. Here are all of the details.

You're Pawsome Simple Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

Doodlebug Designs has some of the sweetest collections and coordinating embellishments. With these and our adhesives, I created this sweet You’re Pawsome Shaker Card in about 15 minutes. Let’s first cut the patterned paper and cardstock layers for the card. The card base is a white cardstock. The yellow patterned paper is 4 x 5.25 inches; the blue patterned paper is 3.5 x 4.75, and the white cardstock mat is 3.75 x 5.

Adhere the yellow patterned paper to the white cardstock card base with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere the blue patterned paper to the white cardstock mat using Creative Photo Corners White.

Add the tag to the card front, and the matted blue patterned paper piece to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the adorable shaker sticker piece to the tag. Then the sentiment die cut piece gets added to the bottom of the card front using 3D Foam Squares White Small Size.

The perfect final touch for this sweet You’re Pawsome Shaker Card was to add a yellow burlap string bow to the top of the tag.

Vintage Happy Halloween Skull Card

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Like making cards with a vintage feel? Teri here to show you a fun vintage-inspired Halloween card!

Vintage Happy Halloween Skull Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

Create the Card Base, Add Foil Strips and Sentiment

Start by blending some ink onto a card base through a stencil. Stamp several Halloween images in black ink on top.

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Set the sentiment strip on your card to use it as a guide for placing some strips of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in on it.

Trim the excess tape and put any leftover scraps on the back of your sentiment strip. Set the strip aside.

Apply Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet Nature Colors onto the strips of tape on your card. Be sure to really burnish firmly onto the tape so that the tape strips are completely covered.

Place some Creative Photo Corners White onto your foil strips for decoration. Line them up, overlapping them slightly as you go. Set your card aside.

Take a piece of thread and randomly place it on the back of your sentiment strip. Cover the strip with 3D Foam Strips Black and place it on your card. Remove the excess.

Embellish the Card with Foil Dots and Add Some Old Paper to It

Set some Adhesive Dots Micro on your card. Cover them with foil. You want to make sure you really push the foil hard onto the dots as you burnish it down.

Take some pages from an old book. Cut them to fit on your card. Roll adhesive onto your card and not the pages. Affix the pages on your card and cut away any excess paper.

Complete your card by rounding the corners and sponging on some additional ink along the edges. You can apply a little bit of ink or a lot!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make a vintage-style Halloween card of your own!

Happy Creating!

Framed Botanical Card

Posted on September 5, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone! Yvonne here with a classic Framed Botanical Card. By using 3D foam products you can easily add a luxurious dimension to your card. 3D Foam Squares Micro White is a great adhesive for adhering tiny and details items.

Framed Botanical Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Furthermore, the Framed Botanical Card is all about some simple layering. I would love to share how I made my card. Wanna join me?

Top Card Panel

Start by die-cutting a frame from white cardstock. Then adhere the frame onto a grey cardpanel using 3D Foam Strips.

This will uplift the frame on the Framed Botanical Card. Next die-cut and emboss a panel that will fit the frame. To color the die-cut, leave it in the metal cutting die and use an ink blending tool and some brown ink to color the centre part.

Then use a stamp and grey ink to add a woodgrain effect.

Next adhere the inked die-cut frame into the uflifted frame using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Card Base

Adhere the framed top card panel of the Framed Botanical Card onto a kraft card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base, again using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for adhering.

Botanical Image

Start with fussy cutting the botanical image such as a white rose. I like to use scissors for the outline cutting and a craft knife for the detail cutting. Then apply 3D Foam Squares Micro White and 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size to the back of the image.

Now remove the liners and adhere the image to the frame. Voilá, your Framed Botanical Card is ready!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Remember Your Roots Art Journal Page

Posted on September 3, 2023 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with an art journal page using mixed media products by Hero Arts and the E-Z Runner Stars Refillable Dispenser to make great accent pieces.

Remember Your Roots Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

There is some prep work to get to the page ready to stamp, adhere the sentiments and add the stars using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature. The thing about building a background for an art journal page you can’t mess it up. Add layers of ink, collage old papers or distress the page. I did all three!!!

Art Journal Page Prep

1. Add color to a blank art journal page using ink. I used Distress Oxide inks.
2. Speckle the page with water and then dab off leaving cool looking water spots. Stamp the focal images using the pigment ink. To speed up drying time use the heat tool to help dry the ink.
3. Use stencils to add background words.
4. Emboss the sentiment words, distress the paper and set aside.

Assembling the Art Journal Page

1. Add 3D Foam Strips Black to one of the Tim Holtz paper dolls die cuts.
2. Using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on the other die cut. This is added dimension and will make one overlap the other.
3. Add the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the sentiment words.
4. Place stars in random places using the E-Z Runner Stars Refillable Dispenser and then apply the Metallic Transfer Sheets Nature / Black over the stars and pull up.

I hope you enjoy this project. It is a little messy but not bad and you end up with a cool art page.
Thanks for stopping by!

Pinky Thanks Card

Posted on September 1, 2023 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here today! Pretty cards don’t have to take a lot of time, just pretty dies and papers. This Pinky Thanks Card design can be used for any occasion that a thank you card is needed. Just change the paper patterns and colors and you’re set!

Pinky Thanks Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pinky Thanks Card Front

To make my card front, I die-cut the Candy Stripes die with white cardstock and used pink patterned cardstock as a panel.

Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue the white stripes on top of the pink patterned cardstock.

Adding Embellishments

Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to secure the white leaf die cut shape and the black twine.

Create the Sentiment

Using a Thanks die, cut it from black glitter paper and the shadow from white cardstock and glue the black glitter paper Thanks to the top of the white shadow using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Place 3D Foam Squares Micro Black to the back of the thank you. Be sure to place enough on the back so you don’t have any parts sagging.

Finishing Up

Pop up the Thanks on the right side of the card. Attach the card front to the white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
