A Series of Fall Cards

Posted on October 29, 2023 by Margie Higuchi

Hello, friends! I wanted to create a series of fall cards inspired by one 12 x 12-inch patterned paper. With a combination of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft., and more, let me take you through some of my cards!

A Series of Fall Cards by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fall Card Thank You Card

First, cut a 4 x 12-inch patterned paper strip. This strip will create two card fronts for an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5-inch) card.

Take the top two pieces (4 x 2.5-inch and 4 x 2.75-inch) and the bottom piece (flip to the dotted pattern and use in the middle to cover the seams) to create my 4 x 5.25-inch card front. The yellow strip is the reverse of the product strip – cool! Adhere all pieces with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Designer’s Note: Cut a piece of 4 x 5.25-inch white cardstock panel to assemble your card front.

For a subtle lift, adhere the card panel to the white cardstock card base with the Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. (its height is 1/32 inch – half of 1/16 inch). Set aside to stamp image and sentiment.

Stamp Image and Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment on the yellow strip of the card front in dark brown ink. Next, stamp the sunflower image onto white cardstock and color it with watercolor pencils and a water brush. Fussy cut the image with detailed scissors and secure it with a regular size in 3D Foam Squares White Mix next to the sentiment.

Fall Card You Grow Girl Card

For the second 4 x 12-inch patterned paper strip, cut the product strip, 4 x 5.25-inch, 4 x 5.25-inch, and 4 x 1.5-inch pieces.

Take the top 4 x 5.25-inch patterned panel and cut it diagonally in half. Flip one to the dotted pattern. We will also be using the yellow product strip and the 4 x 1.5-inch piece. Assemble to create a V-shape card front as pictured and secure with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp the Elements and Coloring

Use your card front as a guide to stamp sentiment. For a subtle lift, adhere the card panel to the top fold white cardstock card base with the Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft.

Stamp the flowers and vase image onto white cardstock and color with watercolor pencils and water brush. Fussy cut the image and center with a combination of regular and small sizes of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the left side of the card front.

Fall Card Plant Happiness Card

For the third and last 4 x 12-inch patterned paper strip, cut the product strip, 2 7/8 x 2 5/8-inch (to mat a stamped image), 1 3/8 x 3-inch, four 4 x 1-inch and four 4 x 1.25-inch pieces.

Stamp an image and sentiment on a 2.5 x 2.25-inch white cardstock piece. Mat on the 2 7/8 x 2 5/8-inch patterned paper piece using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Watercolor with a water brush and set aside to dry for another card.

Stack the four 4 x 1-inch and four 4 x 1.25-inch pieces together and secure with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere them equally spaced with the E-Z Runner® Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser on the top-fold A2 size card base. This adhesive is perfect for this task…simply peel off and reposition the pieces.

Stamp an image and sentiment with dark brown ink on white cardstock. Cut around the images and color with watercolors. Secure on the card front with Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft.

Fall Card You Grow Girl with Foil

Use the second 4 x 5.25-inch piece from the bottom of the second 4 x 12-inch patterned paper strip and place a piece of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. on top of the border design.

Place a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors with the color side up over the exposed adhesive and rub gently to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the color. Reapply foil in missed areas. Secure the panel on a white top-fold card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Add a Creative Photo Corners Gold on each corner of the stamped sentiment and secure it on the card front with several regular size in the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I hope this post encourages you to create a bunch of cards with 12 x 12-inch patterned paper and white cardstock. There were only two pieces left (the product strip and the 1 3/8 x 3-inch piece)…not bad! LOL!

Fall Pumpkin Shaker Home Decor

Posted on October 26, 2023 by Margie Higuchi

Hi, Margie here today, and I am so excited to share this super FUN Fall Pumpkin Home Decor Piece! You can incorporate adhesives not only on paper but on home decor pieces. Featuring the Adhesives Sheets 12 x 12in. and Adhesive Lines, we are assembling this cute pumpkin! Let me show you how!

Fall Pumpkin Shaker Home Decor by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep the Fall Pumpkin

Trace the pumpkin and its middle section onto your choice of patterned paper with a pencil. Cut on the inside of the lines with scissors. Edge the cut papers with ink to give them definition. Paint the pumpkin and its middle section with Nutmeg paint. I used one coat. Let dry.

Assemble the Pumpkin

Apply an Adhesives Sheets 12 x 12in. to the back of each patterned paper shape. Use the round end of the bone folder to burnish and transfer the adhesive completely for that edge-to-edge coverage. Peel off the liners and cover the pumpkin and its middle section piece.

For the stem, I wanted texture so I placed several Adhesive Lines on the front by wrapping around it and did the same for the back. On the sides, I added one each in the middle. Next, wrap the twine (about 1.5 yards) around until you get your desired look. I tied a knot for now as a place keeper.

Add about 11 Adhesive Lines on the back of the middle section of the pumpkin and remove all the liners. Using a heat tool, warm up the lines and the middle section of the pumpkin base. Place the middle section on top and push it into the base to secure. Designer’s Tip: I used a stack of books on top for added pressure. 🙂

Shaking It Up in the Middle

Nest two long narrow oval dies together and secure them with washi tape onto a 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. Roll them through a die-cutting machine to cut out a narrow oval ring. Die-cut one more time with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White and then with patterned paper. Lastly, die-cut just the larger oval with acetate. You should have three oval rings and one solid oval.

Stack the two 3D Foam ovals. With the top liner still on, powder the inside and outer edges to take off the stickness. Add Touch of Fall Sequinz inside. Designer’s Tip: Use Adhesive Dots Micro to secure a couple of sequins so that when the pumpkin stands, not all the sequins will fall down.

Apply the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser on the back of the patterned paper oval and add the acetate to create a window. Then take off the top liner of the 3D Foam oval and add the window to complete the shaker feature.

The Finishing Touches

Snip off the backs of the Fall Friends 3D Buttons – Autumn Bounty and secure each with an Adhesive Dots 3D – it’s perfect for those bulky embellishments! Tie a bow with your twine and you’re done!

I hope this project makes you think about using the Adhesives Sheets 12 x 12in. and the various shapes of Adhesive Dots + Lines – they really made my assembly go fast and smooth! Till next time, Happy Fall and thanks for visiting!

DIY Stencil Paste Tutorial

Posted on October 23, 2023 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you love using stencils to make cards and scrapbook pages? Teri here and today’s post is for you! I’m going to show a fun way to create your own DIY Stencil Paste with a Dual Tip Glue Pen

DIY Stencil Paste Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This technique is so fun and the paste looks so good when used with stencils.

Make the DIY Stencil Paste

You’ll need a few supplies to get started: A jar, a plastic spoon or knife, paint, baby powder, and a Dual Tip Glue Pen. Start by squirting one part glue with one part paint. Flip your plastic spoon or knife over and stir the glue and paint together until completely blended.

Now, you’re going to start adding baby powder to your mix. Start with just a small amount. Keep adding and stirring until you have a nice thick paste form.

Set a stencil on a piece of cardstock. Apply the paste through the stencil and onto the panel. Use an old gift card to scrape off any excess.

Use this process with additional pieces of cardstock to make more stenciled panels. Be sure to stir the paste in between applications to keep it from drying. Once you’ve completed your panels, let them sit and dry completely.

Create a Card

Adhere one of your stenciled panels onto a card created from cardstock with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Cut up some of your additional stencil panels and mount them onto the card as well.

Cut a rectangle from cardstock. Stamp a sentiment on it and adhere it to your card with Crafty Foam Tape.

Take a couple stamped and die-cut images. Apply E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on them, as well as 3D Foam Squares White Small to adhere them to your card.

Complete your card by adding a few sequins to it using Adhesive Dots Micro.

Be sure to save any leftover stenciled background papers so you can use them to make more cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Leave me a comment if you decide to give his technique a try!

Happy Creating!

Shaker Front Christmas Card

Posted on October 21, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing a festive little project featuring a few of my favourite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products. Here are all of the details on how to create this Shaker Front Christmas Card.

Shaker Front Christmas Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

The first step is to gather your cardstock base layers for this Shaker Front Christmas Card. The base is white cardstock that is 6×12 folded in half. Green cardstock cut to 6×6. Cut a piece of burgundy cardstock that cover the front of the largest of the Keepsake Envelopes Mix. Using dies, cut the circle out of the burgundy piece and the decorative die from white cardstock.

Adhere the green cardstock to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Cut strips of the patterned paper that are 5.75″ long and miter the corners. Adhere to the card front creating a frame again using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in., adhere the burgundy cardstock piece to the Keepsake Envelopes Mix piece. Add another strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. to the opening of the Keepsake Envelopes Mix to ensure a secure pocket for the shaker bits. Add in all of the pretty shaker bits and then close the pocket. Adhere the Keepsake Envelopes Mix piece to the Shaker Front Christmas Card.

Shake Shake Shake!

Adhere the white die cut piece to the card front using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Fussy cut out the tree and gift from the patterned paper and add to the Shaker Front Christmas Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Add Stickles to the pieces for a little extra sparkle. Finally, add the sticker sentiment to the card front.

Sending Hugs Mixed Media Gift Tags

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a couple of Sending Hugs Mixed Media Gift Tags using stamps and ink, and featuring 3D Foam Strips. These were really fun to create and the 3D Foam Strips make adhering the sentiments a breeze!! That is a win in my book.

Sending Hugs Mixed Media Gift Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Sending Hugs Tag backgrounds

1. Using watered down Distress Oxide inks dab the tag in a color, let it dry and repeat until you get the look you want. This process can be done several times with different color of inks. I selected three coordinating colors of ink.
2. Stamp label, birds then color and trim out. I used Distress Oxides to add color to the birds.
3. Stamp added images to the tag fronts using the same inks used to create the tag backgrounds.
4. Stamp out the sentiments and trim out. I used Hero Arts Pigment ink for this.

Add the large labels to the tag front with Crafty Foam Tape 108′. Using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix add the birds to the large labels. Add sentiments using 3D Foam Strips. To finish the tags add twine and fabric to the tops of the tags.

Halloween Pumpkin Card

Posted on October 17, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone! Halloween is coming up very soon and for some inspiration, I made this Halloween Pumpkin card. Yvonne here….I love the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside for my cards and I would love to share how I used it to embellish my card. Wanna join me?

Halloween Pumpkin Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Top Card Panel

For the top card panel of the Halloween Pumpkin Card, I used a piece of purple cardstock which I inked with chalk ink to lighten it up a bit. This is to create a foggy effect for the background. Since I don’t know the exact size my card will be I did not trim the card panel to the right size yet.

Die-Cutting

First I die-cut the pumpkin layers from colored cardstock. Then I used an ink blending tool and a brown inkpad to alter the pumpkin.

Next, adhere small pieces of Crafty Foam Tape 108ft to the back for the die-cut pumpkins, peel off the liners, and layer the pumpkins. Crafty Foam Tape 108ft is 1mm thick (1/32″ – half of 1/16″) and is perfect for that subtle dimension to the Inked Halloween Pumpkin Card.

Die-cut some creepy houses from black cardstock and apply gilding wax to them. Adhere the elements to the purple-inked card panel using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.

And then trim the card panel to the right size.

Card Base

First adhere the purple card panel onto an orange card panel and next onto a black card panel.

To adhere the layers of the Halloween Pumpkin Card simply use the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Now the fun starts: embellishing the Halloween Pumpkin Card using a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. I used this technique twice! First by adhering some stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser onto the card.

Then sprinkle dark blue glitter over the stars and rub the glitter for secure adhering. Then tap off any excess glitter. For the second use of the technique, I used my Dual Tip Glue Pen to apply glue to the card: for the ground as well as onto small parts the houses.

Next sprinkle black glitter over the wet glue and tap off the excess glitter. Then let dry thoroughly.

Finishing Touch

For a finishing touch to the Halloween Pumpkin Card, I glued some wobbly eyes onto the pumpkin. To adhere I used Adhesive Dots Micro. Next I used my dymo to create a sentiment and adhered it onto an orange banner. Then adhere onto the card using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.

And voilá, your Halloween Pumpkin Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy Halloween crafting!

Halloween Pumpkin Shaker Card

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! As it’s October and Halloween is coming, I’m sharing a fun Halloween Pumpkin Shaker Card. It just makes me smile to see those beads and sequins through the Jack ‘O Lantern face. I’ve added a few shiny bats flying in the cloudy sky. Keep reading to learn how I made it.

Halloween Pumpkin Shaker Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Pumpkin Shaker

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of rust, orange, tan, and green card stock. Die-cut the pumpkins from rust and orange papers. Then die-cut stem pieces from green and tan cardstock. Then die-cut a yellow pumpkin from cardstock. Lastly, cut a piece of acetate slightly smaller than the yellow pumpkin without the stem.

Peel the liner from the green stem piece and attach it to the stem of the yellow pumpkin. Then peel the liner from the tan stem piece and secure it over the green stem. Peel the liner from the back of the orange pumpkin and place it over the rust pumpkin.

Then partially peel the liner from the rust pumpkin, with the sticky side up, place acetate on it, and continue to peel the liner and secure the acetate.

Attach 3D Foam Strips on acetate around the face to form space for the shaker. To curve 3D Foam Strips easily, temporarily peel liners away, tear or cut them, and replace the liners before filling the shaker.

Add sequins, micro beads, and glass glitter to fill the shaker. Peel the liners and fasten the yellow pumpkin to cover the shaker.

Apply shading around the edges of the pumpkin and stem using a foam applicator with Distress Vintage Photo ink.

Designer Note: This photo shows the shaker a bit too full. I removed some filling before finishing the card. It’s important to have space for shaker pieces to move.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Bat Shapes

Attach Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the front side of the black cardstock.

Use bat dies and die cutting machine to cut bats. Be sure dies are placed on the side of the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. were applied.

Peel the liner from the bat and place the adhesive side down on the back (dull side) of the black foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Turn the foil over and rub well to transfer the foil to the bat. Repeat the foiling steps for all three bats.

The Card Details

Stamp greeting on light gray cardstock with Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Trim to about .5 inch wide strip. Die-cut small and large clouds from light gray cardstock. To make the card base, cut a piece of 7.75 x 6.75-inch black cardstock to form a 3.875 x 6.75-inch card. Use a 0.50-inch corner punch to round the top corners.

Distress the Card Front

Apply Distress Crayon Phantom Mist in streaks across the upper part of the card, moisten the finger, and rub to blend. Repeat as desired. Across the bottom use Distress Crayon Unravelled and blend with a wet finger.

Rub Distress Crayon Phantom Mist randomly over clouds and rub with a wet finger to blend. Also, apply the greeting strip in the same manner and use a cloth to buff the crayon from words.

Clouds and Pumpkin Placements

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the small cloud, and cut as needed to fit. Peel the liners and place the cloud near the top of the card.

On the back of the large cloud, apply 3D Foam Squares Black Regular, cut as needed to fit. Peel the liner, place it on the card below the small cloud, and overlap it slightly. Place 3D Foam Squares Black Regular on the back of the greeting strip, peel the liner, and adhere at the bottom of the card.

Apply E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to the back of the pumpkin shaker and attach on the card.

Designer Tip: E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser has strong holding power making it an excellent choice for a shaker to keep it secure for shaking.

Fasten Bats

Use 3D Foam Squares Micro Black on the back of bats. Cut as needed to fit. Peel liners from bats and secure them over and below clouds. Place black foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors over bats again as needed to fill any area where foil may have rubbed off during assembly.

October Memories Halloween Layout

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a spooky little October Memories Halloween layout to share. With a little dimension, I’ll walk you through the details.

October Memories Halloween Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

This layout features the Simple Vintage October 31st collection, so I decided to go vintage with the photo used. This is ME in 1984, in a clown costume my mother lovingly made for me. The perfect subject for this dimensional Halloween layout.

First I cut the cardstock and patterned paper layers for the background. Black cardstock- 12×12, web patterned paper 11×11 on the outside and 1″ thick. The other 2 patterned papers are both 8×8.

Adhere the background layers of the layout using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Mat the 3.5×5 photo in white cardstock and adhere together using Creative Photo Corners Black. These will give the perfect vintage feel for this dimensional Halloween layout.

Cut 2 more layers of patterned paper and adhere them to the layout using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next, add the matted photo to the middle of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape 108′ Black.

Begin adding all of the cute embellishments around the dimensional Halloween layout using a combination of E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Once the final embellishments are added around the layout. Add a burlap string bow to the tag above the matted photo.

Upcycled Christmas Gift Tags

Posted on October 7, 2023 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! The holiday season is just two months away! A fun way to get ready for the big day is to make some upcycled Christmas Gift Tags to make a great presentation! Teri here and I’ll show you how to make these today with a unique twist…use past holiday cards!

Upcycled Christmas Gift Tags by
Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep Work

Start by die-cutting a few tag shapes from old holiday cards. You’ll also want to cut some from white cardstock for variety.

Take a few of them and cut the word, Merry.

Lift Up the Fronts

Flip your white shapes over and use 3D Foam Strips to cover the back of them. Cut the strips up as you go to fit the open space.

Embellishing

Mount the foamed fronts onto your tags cut from old holiday cards. Add a 3D Foam Star to one of the R letters and remove the top liner. Apply a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature color side facing you on top. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the 3D Foam Star with your finger.

Take an E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and randomly apply the dots to the edges. Add foil to them using the foiling method.

Finish by threading jute through the holes and double-knot them. Then stamp sentiments on strips of cardstock and add them on top.

Change It Up with the Recycled Fronts

Change the look by placing a tag cut from a past holiday card on top instead.

Embellish them the same way as your first batch.

Remember, none of these tags created with these techniques will look alike since you’re working with a variety of past holiday cards. It makes the results so fun!

Ready to give these tips a try? I’d to hear from you if you do!

Happy Creating!
