Dimensional Floral New Year Card

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With this sweet Dimensional Floral New Year Card, I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2024! This card is all about stamping, fussy cutting, layering, and of course, lots of dimensions! Adding a combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for various uplifting heights is so easy to create. I would love to show you how I made my card.

Dimensional Floral Card Base

To create the top card panel of the 3D Happy New Year Card simply trim a piece of pink cardstock to a rectangular size. Then adhere to a grey card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere to a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Floral Accents

I used a poinsettia stamp set…yep, poinsettias are not limited to Christmas only! Start by stamping multiple poinsettias and branches onto white cardstock with an embossing ink pad. Sprinkle gold embossing powder over the wet ink, tap off any excess embossing powder, and use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder.

Now use an inkblending tool and a spot of pink ink to color the poinsettias. To color the hearts of the poinsettias and the branches I used color pencils. Now fussy cut the flowers and branches.

Building a Scene

To create a lovely Dimensional Floral New Year Card, I used a combination of the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the flowers and branches onto the card. Make sure to leave a little space to place a sentiment.

For the sentiment, I used my Dymo label maker to print out Happy New Year and then place it on a grey banner. Tuck the banner in the flowers with the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá, your Dimensional Floral New Year Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting in 2024!

2024 Art Journal Page

Posted on January 3, 2024 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here bringing in the New Year with a 2024 Art Journal page. I’m using 3D Foam Adhesives for that dimension that we all love to add to our projects. Art journal pages are no exception! They make everything look better.

2024 Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Starting my art journal page with the idea (for lack of a better word) that 2024 will be the Best Year yet. Believing that it will be that for all, I have my bird friends singing it loud.

The 2024 Art Journal Page Background

1. Select your ink colors, I’m using Distress Oxide ink. Water the ink down and dab the paper into the ink. Dry after each layer. Repeat the process for your desired look.
2. For a more distressed look, add tissue paper with text on it.
3. Use the large tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen to apply on the tissue paper. Then with the background stamps, randomly place them in areas of the page. Go crazy!!! This is the fun part!

Adding the Elements

1. Stamp, trim, and color the elements to accent the page. Apply 3D Foam Strips Large behind the words, and for the numbers, use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
2. The three singing birds are adhered with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
3. The word LOUD is secured with the 3D Foam Strips. They fit so perfectly!!
4. Lastly, the word SING is adhered with the 3D Foam Squares Micro White. To complete the page, I added some stamping and speckled the page using white acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will make a 2024 art journal page and have FUN with it throughout the year!

Book Lover’s Bookmark Card

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

Hi, Margie here today…Happy New Year! My resolution for the year is to read more books! Inspired by this goal, I created a Book Lover’s Bookmark Card because it can house a corner bookmark and it’s a perfect gift for any of my bookworm friends. Let me show you!

Book Lover's Bookmark Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Book Lover’s Bookmark Base

Score a piece of a 4-inch square of patterned paper into four 2-inch quarters. Cut one square off and set it aside to use for the card base. Adhere the flaps together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to create a square pocket shape.

Bookmark Assembly

One side will have a double layer – open and fold over one layer, leaving the outside pattern as a 1/8-inch border as shown in the upper right corner image. Secure it with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Next, apply half of a 1.25-inch decorative circle with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and adhere to the middle of the square, leaving half overhang on the edge. Your bookmark is done. Set it aside.

Embellish the Card Base

Fold a piece of 6 x 4-inch white cardstock in half to create a 3 x 4-inch side fold card base. Adhere a 2.25-inch square on the upper right corner and layer the 2-inch square cut from the bookmark base. Use your bookmark as a guide for placement. Adhere a border at the bottom edge of the card base.

The Finishing Touches

Mat a piece of 3 5/8 x 4 5/8-inch of pink patterned paper on top of a 3 7/8 x 4 7/8-inch of green patterned paper. Place it on top of a 4 x 5-inch white cardstock panel. Center the 3 x 4-inch white card base and add the bookmark in the upper right corner.

Place a small 3D Foam Heart on the lower left corner, remove the top liner, and foil the heart with a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors in Pink. Simply place the foil color facing you and rub the foil to transfer the color. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and adhere with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on top of the border.

I hope you enjoyed my Book Lover’s Bookmark Card! So what is your New Year’s Resolution? Share with me in the comments below. Wishing you a better and wonderful year in 2024 (the Year of the Dragon)!

Heart Dangle Card

Posted on December 29, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! This Heart Dangle Card features a technique of randomly applying foil over a stamped design that has been embossed with embossing powder. I used the technique on the 3D Foam Hearts as well.

Heart Dangle Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp Background

Cut 4 x 5-inch navy cardstock for a card panel.

Ink background stamp with Versamark ink and stamp on navy cardstock. Cover the image with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.

Apply Foil

Take out blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. This is a good technique to use foil that has been used and still has areas of color as this technique is meant to add touches of foil rather than completely cover images.

Use a heat gun to reheat the area of the embossed design, place foil over the heated area, and press lightly. Allow to cool slightly and then peel away the foil sheet. Repeat until desired foil transfer is achieved. It’s important to heat emboss just enough to be sticky but not too soft as to smear. It may take a little practice.

Assemble Card Base

Cut an 8.25 x 6.5-inch piece of white cardstock, score, and fold to a 4.125 x 6.5-inch card.

Use an embossing folder and die-cutting machine to emboss the bead board design on 4 x 4.25 piece white cardstock. Trim to 4.125 inches wide and cut in half (across bead board pattern). Fasten each half to the top and bottom of the card front using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the card. It’s easier to apply to a flat card front than an embossed piece.

Cut dusty aqua card stock 4.125 x 5.25 inch. Apply adhesive to back of navy foiled piece with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to dusty aqua mat. Fasten both to card front using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Stamp Greeting

Stamp greeting with Versamark ink on navy cardstock, cover with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.

Use a die and die cutting machine to cut decorative edge square around verse. Tap edge of verse on Versamark ink pad, cover edge with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool. Repeat on all edges of verse.

Make Heart Dangles

Cut 2 lengths of white pearl cotton about 3 inches long.

Take out sheet of hearts from 3D Foam Hearts, peel liner from a medium heart and place end of pearl cotton on it. Remove another medium heart and place it over heart with string. Repeat for a second heart.

Peel liner from one side of a heart, press into white embossing powder and heat with heat tool. Repeat for second heart. Peel liner from back side of heart and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Gently reheat heart and place foil on it, allow it to cool slightly and peel foil away. Repeat as needed for desired effect. Apply foil to other heart in same way.

Fasten Greeting

Place 3D Foam Squares White Regular on back of stamped greeting piece with extra one at center bottom. Peel liner from center foam square and place strings of hearts on it, press string into adhesive and trim string ends. Peel liners from remaining 3D Foam Squares and fasten greeting to card front.

Add Bow

Tie 2 strands of pearl cotton in a small bow and trim ends. Place Adhesive Dots Mini on back of knot of bow and fasten at top of greeting.

Ornate Dimensional Layout

Posted on December 21, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I am sharing a layout that I created for family of their 2023 Family Photo. This Ornate Dimensional Layout will be housed in a shadowbox frame, so I was able to create with tons of dimension. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Ornate Dimensional Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

These beautiful patterned papers make stunning backgrounds. I created a simple one with some torn strip at the bottom, adhered using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. When creating a layout that will be hanging on a wall or displayed, my go to adhesive is the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This will make sure that any Ornate Dimensional Layout will stay together.

Next step is to mat the 4×6 photo in white cardstock, adhered together using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Add the large ephemera pieces behind the matted photo using the same adhesive. Adhere the ephemera frame using Crafty Foam Tape White. Then add the matted photo to the middle of the layout using 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape White.

Attach more smaller ephemera pieces around the matted photo using both Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. using different depths of foam adhesive can add so much more dimension. Some of the laser cut pieces are very delicate, like the “You” of the title. This was added using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Next step is to attach the flowers to the Ornate Dimensional Layout. I added flowers to either side of the matted photo using Adhesive Dots 3D. My last step was to add the laser cut leaves around the flowers using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Encouraging Word Mixed Media Tags

Posted on December 19, 2023 by Connie Mercer

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.

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

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.

Thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Button Christmas Card

Posted on December 17, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

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.

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 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!

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

Christmas Cookie Bag Topper

Posted on December 13, 2023 by Judy Hayes

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Share with someone to make their day!

Festive Gift Card Holder

Posted on December 11, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stars and Frame Textured Cards

Posted on December 9, 2023 by Teri Anderson

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

I hope you are inspired by today’s tutorial and will try out some of these tips next time you make a card with lots of texture!

Happy Creating!
