Cute Little Tiger Card

Posted on March 17, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Cute Little Tiger Card. To add a little extra sparkle to the card, I accented it with a subtle gold dotted background using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

Cute Little Tiger Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love to share how I made my card. Would you like to join me?

Creating the Tiger Card Panel

Make a blue circle on a piece of white cardstock with blue chalky ink and an ink blending tool. Just add a dab of the blue ink to the center of the cardstock and rub it in a circular motion. This creates a lovely “glow” of blue background for the Cute Little Tiger Card. Designer’s Tip: Use a chalky ink to give it a better glowing effect, as it dries slowly than normal ink and is easier to blend.

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with E-Z Dots®

Roll and tap the E-Z Dots® Refillable Dispenser across the inked circle, leaving tiny glue dots, as shown in the image. Next, take a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and with the color side facing you tap on the exposed dotted adhesive. Rub the foil to transfer the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas.

This Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique makes your adhesive into embellishments.

Cute Little Tiger Elements

For my Cute little Tiger Card, I stamped a little tiger, a palm tree, and a leaf on a piece of white cardstock. Next, I colored the images with color pencils, and fussy cut them. Adhere the palm tree and the leaves to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Using 3D Foam Squares White Mix, I secured the little tiger for an extra lift. Lastly, cut a sentiment banner and adhere to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Making the Card Base

Mat the card panel with a green cardstock and then to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere all the layers.

And…voilá, your Cute Little Tiger Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Geo Diamond Thank You Card

Posted on March 15, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Are you looking for an elegant thank you card? I was! We have a wedding to plan this year with my youngest son 🙂 I created thank you cards like this Geo Diamond Thank You Card to give at the rehearsal lunch. Using our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets with the hot foil system, I loved how they turned out! Hi, Margie here today and let me share my process with you.

Geo Diamond Thank You Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Geo Diamond Background

Following the instructions on my hot foil system, I used a gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. These foil packs are great as they have two sheets of five different colors and are packaged flat – no frustrating curled sheets! Depending on the pressure and the foil design, test before committing. Designer’s Tip: a sand eraser is your best friend if you have over-foiled areas.

Creating the Sentiment

Die-cut the sentiment with gold mirror cardstock for extra sparkle! Then die-cut its outline with vellum paper to finish and anchor the greeting. Usually, I place the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ on the back of the mirror cardstock before die-cutting but I ran out. #Gasp!

I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. If you run it through your die-cut words, it only hits the words and rarely leaves dots on the table surface below. If it does, rub them off. Designer’s Tip: Use the crease tool to press the words into the vellum outline for a firm adhesion.

Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner), adhere the sentiment to the card panel.

Assembling the Thank You Card

Let’s put this Geo Diamond Thank You Card together! For a subtle lift, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. because of its 1/32″ height (half of 1/16″). We also have Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. which has a height of 1/16″. Add the panel to an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5 in.) white cardstock card base. To finish, I randomly placed sequins with the Adhesive Dots Mini.

I hope my Geo Diamond Thank You Card tutorial helps when looking for an elegant design!

Lucky Friendship Card

Posted on March 13, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! It’s almost St Patrick’s Day which inspired me to make this Lucky Friendship Card featuring a shiny shamrock. I used Adhesive Sheets, 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Metallic Transfer Foil to make hearts for the shamrock. Scroll down to read all the details.

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

Lucky Friendship Card Base and Layers

For the card base, cut a piece of 8.25 x 6.5-inch white cardstock, score and fold to form a 4.25 x 6.5-inch card. From another piece of white cardstock, cut it to a 4 x 6.25 inch rectangle and a 3 x 6 inch rectangle. Then cut a piece of 3 x 4-inch green cardstock.

Ink and Distress Cardstock Pieces

Use Distress Ink Oxide Iced Spruce ink pad for a direct-to-paper application to color both white cardstock pieces. Apply more ink to the smaller piece to make it darker. Mist both pieces with water. Then spritz each piece with Distress Spritz Mowed Lawn. Allow to dry

Die-Cut Letters

Apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of the small inked paper and burnish to adhere well. From that piece, use a die-cutting machine and alphabet dies to cut letters for “LUCKY”

Attaching the LUCKY Letters

Carefully remove die-cut letters from dies, peel liners and fasten to large piece of inked paper. Use ruler to align letters about .375 inches from bottom and .75 inches from left edge. Press firmly in place. Designer’s Tip: Use a heat gun to heat letters to help adhesive be more sticky after being pressed through die cutting machine. Apply adhesive to back of panel with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to card front.

Make Shamrock Pieces

Cut 3 x 4 inches piece of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. and apply to green cardstock. If cardstock has texture, fasten to that side. Smooth side with Adhesive Sheet applied will be front.

Use heart dies and die cutting machine to cut 4 hearts (approx.. 1.125 x 1 inches). Also cut strip .375 x 3.5 inches and stem for shamrock. Remember side with adhesive is front.

Peel liner from a heart, place face down on back side of green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, turn over and press foil to transfer and then peel away. Repeat for each heart, stem and strip. (Designer Tip: I found it easiest to place heart face down on back of foil but you may lay heart on work surface, peel liner and press foil on it)

Cut a 2 x 6 inches piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black. On the paper side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet, align larger heart with smaller one inside, tape in place and repeat for 4 hearts. Run through the die-cutting machine to cut. Carefully remove hearts from 3D Foam Creative Sheet, and remove dies. Set aside smaller hearts for another project.

Carefully peel shiny liner from open heart, align on foil covered heart and press in place. Repeat for all hearts.

Peel liner from open heart and place on back of green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Turn over and press the foil to the heart and peel away. Repeat for all hearts.

Stamp the Verse

Stamp verse on white cardstock with black ink and trim to narrow strip about 2.875 inches long. Place face down on scrap paper and apply adhesive to back with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Fasten on foiled strip. Designer’s Tip: This verse stamp had word “crafty” in it which I omitted by cutting the verse apart.

Assemble Shamrock

Slightly bend each heart so sides curl back. Place small square from 3D Foam Squares Black Mix near top on back of each heart. Arrange on card. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive on the back of one heart point, remove liner, and press the heart in place on card. Repeat for each heart.

Place the stem face down on a scrap paper, apply adhesive with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser on the stem and press it in place on the card.

Finishing Touches

Cut narrow strip of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black and fasten to back of verse strip. Peel liner and attach the verse to the card front across the letters.

Now this sweet Lucky Friendship Card is ready to send! I hope you try making accents similar to mine with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black and dies in your stash!

Playful Luggage Tags

Posted on March 12, 2025 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, this is Jingle here today sharing a super simple and useful project! We are making Playful Luggage Tags to dress up a backpack, luggage, and more. Another bonus…it’s a great way to find your pack or luggage right away!

Playful Luggage Tags by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Playful Luggage Tag Ideas

These tags come together so quickly! A perfect accent for a kid’s backpack, your luggage…even as a gift tag on a basket or bottle of wine! Just customize your materials for the recipient!

Gather Up Your Tags

To begin, you are going to want to pull out the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops. These come with 4 different colors in the pack, so you can customize based on your favorite colors! There is a pink one, too, but my own kiddo stole that one before I took the photo. Naturally. You will also need some patterned papers of your choice, some stickers or die cuts, and alphabet stickers or dies.

Embellish The Tags

Begin by cutting the patterned paper to size. The package for the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops tells you the exact dimensions to use, which is super nice! After trimming, you can add your name using alphabet stickers or die cut letters. I use tweezers for placement as I find it easier to see where I am placing the letters that way.

For this one, I kept the one side simple with the name and a single ice cream die cut and then added three cute cupcake die cuts using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. That little guy is perfect for small projects like this one! I use plenty of adhesive so I am sure they will stay secure.

Assemble

The next step is to add the insert into the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops! These are nice and sticky, so you will gently peel away the colorful side, carefully place your insert where you want it to be and then gently lay the sticky, colorful layer over the insert to seal it into the tag. Only the colorful side has the adhesive so you do have some wiggle room to move your insert into the perfect spot.

Finally, you simply add the clear plastic loop to the tag to finish it off! If this is for a gift, you could replace the loop with a ribbon or something different. But if this is for a backpack or luggage, these nice strong loops are really fantastic! I love the high quality of the tag pieces.

Remember that the colorful side of the tag will go over one side of your insert, providing a neat color overlay look. These were so fun, I made another one straight away.

I do hope you give these fun Self-Laminating Tags with Loops a try! This is a super kid friendly project, too. My five-year-old created one right alongside me to give to his Daddy.

St. Patty’s 10 Minute Card

Posted on March 9, 2025 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here. Today, I have a quick and easy St. Patty’s Day 10 Minute Card to share. Here are all of the details.

St. Patty's 10 Minute Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

St. Patty’s 10 Minute Card Base and Layers

Cut the card base from white cardstock. Cut the card front from green patterned paper. The top layer of this St. Patty’s 10 Minute Card is cut from green cardstock. Adhere the bottom layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

I chose to add the green cardstock layer to the card front using Creative Photo Corners White. Using Creative Photo Corners on a card front frames layers nicely, and adds dimension and texture.

Add the Tag Element and Finishing Touches

Place the coordinating tag to the St. Patty’s 10 Minute Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Then pop up the sentiment towards the bottom of the card front with 3D Foam Squares White Small Size. Create differing heights from the 3D Foam Squares adds so much interest to a simple card.

The final touches are to add the heart sticker and the burlap string to the top of the tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Let’s Celebrate Cards

Posted on March 7, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Are you short on time to work on a birthday card or two? Teri here to show you how to make a couple of cards, Let’s Celebrate Cards, in minutes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and 3D Foam Creative Sheets!

Let's Celebrate Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

While this post focuses on making birthday cards, this design could easily be used to make cards for all kinds of occasions throughout the year! Just use a different sentiment. Let’s get started!

Let’s Celebrate Card Design

Start by taking a 3D Foam Sheet and cutting it into strips of different heights to adhere across a white cardstock panel. Designer’s Tip: Use a guillotine cutter to cut my strips for a deeper cut. A regular paper trimmer can achieve it, but you will need to cut the bottom liner with scissors to complete the cuts.

For the design, you can line up as many as you want or arrange them however you like.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the Foam Strips

Remove the release paper from one strip. Place a piece of foil (color side facing you) from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors on the exposed adhesive. Rub the color into the strip and peel off the foil sheet to reveal the color. Remove the release paper from the strip below the first foiled strip, and repeat this foiling step until you’ve added foil to all the strips. Note I used a combination of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on the cards.

Adhere the cardstock panel to a card using the E-Z Runner® Squares Refillable Dispenser. Stamp a sentiment onto the card as well.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the 3D Foam Circles

Take some 3D Foam Circles. Cut a few of them in half. Place the circles and half circles randomly onto your foiled strip. Apply foil onto your circles and half circles. For a more subtle look, use the same color of foil you used on your strips. Change it up by using different colors.

Complete your cards by adding small embellishments with Adhesive Dots Micro. Sequins and gems are always good for this!

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Let’s Celebrate Cards’ tutorial and are inspired to make a few quick cards of your own!

Happy Creating!

Modern Lines and Dots Card

Posted on March 5, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Modern Lines and Dots Card using the Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside technique. This card is fairly easy to create and suitable for beginner cardmakers. All you need is our adhesives, glitter, and embossing powder to melt. I would love to share how I made the card. Wanna join me?

Modern Lines and Dots Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Crafty Power Tape

Start with the line design by placing diagonal lines with the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft onto a soft grey piece of cardstock. Determine what embossing powder colors to use, I used silver and gold. Take one liner off, and cover the exposed adhesive with embossing powder (press the powder into it to secure). Tap off excess and heat to melt. Repeat this step until all the lines are colored. This what you call the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

With the same Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, create the dotted elements with glitter. Place both small and regular size 3D Foam Circles White Mix between the lines of the card panel. Remove the liners and sprinkle gold and silver glitter on the exposed circle adhesives. Make sure to rub the glitter to secure before tapping off the excess.

Assemble the Modern Lines and Dots Card

Mat the top card panel onto a darker grey card panel. Next, adhere the layered panel to a white card base, using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for all the layers.

And voilá your Modern Lines and Dots Card is ready. Designer’s Tip: add a sentiment banner to the card to create the occasion you need…just pop it up using 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Wishing you happy crafting!

Sparkly Birthday Party Cards

Posted on March 1, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Do you have a pack of 3D Foam Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L? There are 15 different themed pre-cut shapes. I happened to have the 3D Foam Party Shapes pack to make Sparkly Birthday Party Cards! Hi, Margie here and let me show you how I created them – get the kids involved!

Sparkly Birthday Party Cards by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create Birthday Party Card Front

Cut a piece of 4 x 6 in. patterned paper diagonally with each opposite corner at the 0.50 in. mark of the paper trimmer.

Add a strip of Crafty Power Tape on the diagonal edge. Use the bone folder to burnish the tape. Next, apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser on the back and place on a white A2 size card base. (Note: I changed my mind and used the B-side of the paper…love two-sided papers!). Set aside.

Embellish the Focal Point

After die-cutting a decorative edge oval out of white cardstock, I designed my focal point using the various shapes from the 3D Foam Party Shapes pack. Designer’s Note: I used a leftover liner to help with placement and to line up the Happy Birthday sentiment.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

Cut a small piece of all the colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Remove a top liner from one of the shapes and place the foil on top (color side facing you). Gently rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal shiny colored accents! Lastly, I drew balloon strings and dotted accents to one of the oval designs. Repeat the foiling steps to the diagonal border before assembling the card.

Assemble the Birthday Party Card

Apply 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back of the oval and center on your card front. Now it’s ready to be sent out!

I hope you enjoyed this Sparkly Birthday Party Cards tutorial. Grab a pack of 3D Foam Shapes and create with your kids!

Floral Hello Friend Card

Posted on February 27, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Lately, the frigid cold in my area has made me wish for spring and pretty flowers. So it inspired me to put together this Floral Hello Friend Card. It has great details from the tiny envelope to the sweet flowers that were fussy cut which I find that kind of meditative! LOL!

Floral Hello Friend Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Floral Hello Card Base and Panel

Cut a piece of textured cream cardstock to 10 x 6.5 inches, score, and fold to form a 5 x 6.5-inch card base. Next, cut a piece of 4.125 x 5.25-inch white cardstock for the card panel.

Plaid Background

Die-cut the outline rectangle die from a layered plaid die set using black cardstock. Set aside.

Apply an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6in. to the back of a 4.25 x 5.5-inch smooth cream cardstock and trim any excess adhesive sheet from the length. Die-cut it with the plaid die. Make several passes through the machine and remove cut-out pieces. Peel the liner back and press it into the black cardstock rectangle piece.

Designer Tip: I sometimes use a heat gun to warm the adhesive after die-cutting to make it more sticky after being compressed.

Attach Panel to the Card Base

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the black plaid panel piece and secure it to the white cardstock mat. Next, adhere to the card front again with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Create a Small Envelope and Insert

Die-cut a small envelope from text-weight cream paper and a card insert from white cardstock. Fold and assemble the envelope with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp a verse with black ink on the card insert near the top left corner. Apply Distress Antique Linen with an applicator to lightly color along the edges of the envelope and insert. Trim a narrow piece off the bottom left corner of the insert for an angled placement in the envelope. Next, apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser across the bottom back edge of the insert and tuck it into the envelope at a slight angle.

Embellishment Details on the Floral Hello Card

Stamp three flowers and extra leaves using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Color with watercolors (or markers) and fussy cut around each one. On a piece of black cardstock, stamp the “Hello Friend” greeting with Versamark ink, cover it with white embossing powder, remove excess, and heat to emboss. Trim around the greeting to 0.25 x 1.75 inches.

Assemble Card

Place 3D Foam Squares Black Regular towards the top of the envelope back. Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive along the bottom edge of the envelope back. Arrange the desired card design, remove liners from 3D Foam Squares, and press in place.

Shape flowers with fingers to be slightly domed. Fasten 3D Foam Squares Black Regular to the back of flowers and leaves. Cut 3D Foam Squares Black Regular as needed to fit behind the leaves. Arrange on the card, peel liners, and attach the flowers. Then peel liners from extra leaves and tuck them in place.

Place 3D Foam Squares Black Regular on the back of the greeting, peel liners and place it on the card over the flower stems.

I hope you enjoyed my Floral Hello Friend Card tutorial. Use some of these ideas and tips for your next card creation!
