Foiled Circles Best Friends Card

Posted on August 18, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun Foiled Circles Best Friends Card to share featuring a 3D Frame Card with 3D Foam Circles White Mix and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Foiled Circles Best Friends Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foiled Circles Best Friends Card Panel Background

On a white cardstock card panel, I colored it with Distress Oxide Inks and a blending brush to custom-create my color.

Stamp a focal image onto white cardstock with black ink and add color using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Fussy cut it out and set it aside. Next, punch out a circle shape from a piece of white cardstock. Make sure to choose a size large enough to frame your stamped image. This will be the base of the dimensional frame. Place it on the inked panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Framing Out the Frame

Using 3D Foam Circles White Mix create a design around the white cardstock circle. This creates a dimensional frame.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

To determine the color design for the frame, I decided to use the blue and silver foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. These two combinations will give me the contrast I was looking for.

First, I added the blue foil to the smaller 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Simply remove the liner, place the foil color side facing you, and rub the foil to transfer the color to the shape. Next, peel off the liner to reveal the color. If there are missed areas, reapply the foil in the same manner. Repeat the steps to the other circles.

Now let’s add the silver foil to the larger 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Repeat the above foiling steps to achieve the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

Add the card front image to the 3D Frame Card using both Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. This creates just a little more dimension between the frame and the colored image.

Assemble the Foiled Circles Best Friends Card

Adhere the card panel to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to randomly dots around the card front. Add glitter to them for a little galactic sparkle! Finish off the look by adding white gel pen dots and stamping the sentiment with black ink.

Back to School Shaker Card

Posted on August 17, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Back to School Shaker Card. A new school year is about to start and a moment to encourage and wish all the best on a new adventure! Bring a smile to a child’s or teacher’s face with this easy-to-create shaker card.

Back to School Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellishing is easy with a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside using 3D Foam Circles White Mix and glitter…more on that later. Shall we get started?

Back to School Card Panel

Die-cut a frame from a piece of patterned paper. Make sure the frame is slightly smaller than the Back to School panel you want to use. Next, adhere a piece of acetate on the back and cover the frame with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Shaker Feature

Place 3D Foam Strips to the back of the panel around the frame to enclose the shaker part to prevent shaker bits from escaping. Also, to keep the panel from sagging place the 3D Foam Strips around the outside of the frame as pictured.

Remove the liners from the inside frame, and fill the shaker with micro beads and sequins. Cover the inside frame with the Back to School panel, and press to secure to close.

Back to School Card Base

Remove the liners from the 3D Foam Strips on the outside frame of the panel and adhere to a black cardstock mat. Then adhere to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish with Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

To embellish the Back to School Card, adhere school-themed stickers on the card. For the finishing touch, use 3D Foam Circles White Mix and glitter to accent the card front. Randomly place 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the front card. Remove the liners and sprinkle glitter over the exposed adhesive. Press the glitter to secure and tap off the excess. This technique of taking your adhesive from between layers to become embellishment is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Voilá, your Back to School Card is ready to make a child (or teacher) very happy to start a new and exciting School year! Wishing you happy crafting!

Hello Strips Card

Posted on August 15, 2023 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here today! If you’re like me, you have lots of scraps that you just can’t bear to throw away but don’t know what to do with them. I had these pretty strips laying around and decided to make a Hello Strips Card. My strips are all the same size, but they don’t have to be, just let your creativity flow!

Hello Strips Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hello Strips Panel

To make my card I cut white cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and die-cut a circle in the upper center. Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in was placed on the back of the strips EXCEPT for the strips that go over the die-cut circle. These strips only had the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in placed on the sides so that if the strips get pushed down, they won’t stick to the card base.

Pop Up the Panel

To lift the panel up on the card, I placed 3D Foam Strips on the back of the panel. Make sure the strips are close to the outer edge and closer to the circle to prevent sagging. For the middle part (the strips over the circle), I decided to place 3D Foam Squares Micro Black on the back of those strips. Remove the paper backing from all and pop the panel on a tan card.

Add The Flower

Stamp a flower using layering stamps, and die-cut it. Pop it up with 3D Foam Squares White Regular. For the stem, I used a 3D Foam Squares Micro Black at the bottom and placed it on the left side of the circle.

Hello Sentiment

Die-cut the Hello from gold cardstock and its shadow from one of the colors of strips. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere together and to the card as shown. For the final touch, add gold glitter enamel dots on the bottom right of the card.

Quick Collage Flower Tag

Posted on August 13, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I put together a very easy collage with Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in on this tag. I used supplies from my stash: a tag previously sprayed with color, a verse strip, scrap papers, and die-cut flowers…quick and easy!

Quick Collage Flower Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Supplies for the Collage Flower Tag

Gather supplies: #8 tag sprayed or inked with color, torn scrap of white cardstock about 2.25 x 3.75 inches, small scraps of old book pages, printed papers, tissue paper, handwritten notes, lace, white die-cut flower, stamped verse strip inked with Distress Vintage Photo ink and ribbons and strings.

Make a Collage Element

Peel the back yellow liner on Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in and place a white cardstock piece on it. Replace the liner and rub well to transfer the adhesive to the cardstock. Lift the liner and remove cardstock. Place it adhesive side up on work surface.

Place small pieces of torn paper on the adhesive overlapping slightly until the cardstock is covered completely. Tear away any edges that extend beyond cardstock.

Use a sponge applicator to apply Distress Vintage Photo ink to the edges and on the collage as desired. Scribble or make marks with a pencil on it. Place a small piece of ribbon on Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in to pick up adhesive and place on the collage.

Attach Collage to Tag

Cut and place 3D Foam Strips Large on the back of the collage piece and peel the liners. Fasten a piece of lace behind the collage on the 3D Foam Strip and then secure the collage to the tag.

Add Flower

Stack two small 3D Foam Circles White on the back of the flower and Adhesive Dots Mini on the leaves. Peel off the liners and attach the flower over the collage.

Fasten Verse

Cut strips of 3D Foam Strips Large to fit the back of the verse strip, peel liners, and adhere across the flower and the collage.

Tie Fibers to Tag

Cut several pieces of string and ribbons and tie them on the tag.

Enjoy! Thanks for Visiting!

Circle Frame Birthday Card

Posted on August 10, 2023 by Guest Blogger

Hello, folks! Jennifer Ingle here today! Back with another fun guest post. This time I pulled out some of the amazing Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors for a super fun look! As you know, it is always fun to Wear your Adhesives on the Outside! I am going to show you how I created this super fun Circle Frame Birthday Card design.

Circle Frame Birthday Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Circle Frame Birthday Card Supplies

To begin, you will need a cardstock panel (4 x 5.25 inch) and a package of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and the 3D Foam Circle Frames from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. These frames are AMAZING and have so many awesome possibilities!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames

Leaving the 3D Foam Circle Frames White in place, gently peel the liner off the largest circle you plan to use for your card. I used the second largest circle frame.

Place a piece of the metallic transfer foil over the exposed 3D Foam Circle Frames White. Make sure the color side is facing you. Then use your fingers to gently press it into place to transfer the color to the ring.

Gently lift the foil to reveal your perfectly foiled ring! If there are missed areas, simply reapply the foil. Repeat the foiling steps for each color and ring size you plan to add to your card. Here you can see the four rings I foiled for placement on my card.

Create the Card Design

Next, I cut the entire sheet, still on the backing, in half so I could use both sides of the rings on my design. This does mean I now have cut rings for a future project, but that is totally fine. You could absolutely foil all of them and create two designs at once using this same technique.

Carefully place the half-rings on the card panel.

Prep the Sentiment

Next, you want to blend Grape Soda and Dragonfruit ink on a scrap of white cardstock for the sentiment. Die cut the word Happy from your blended scrap. Stamp Birthday on a strip of cardstock in black ink. Adhere the sentiment to your card, using foam circles for the die-cut portion (to raise it to the same level as the rings) and using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser for the strip to ensure it stays put!

Assemble the Card

Cut and score a sheet of coordinating cardstock for your card base. I used Hero Arts Adriatic for my base.

Finally, adhere your panel to the card base with your E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser to complete your design. The shine really is absolutely wonderful!

Thank you so much for joining me today with the Circle Frame Birthday Card and happy foiling!

Snail Mail Card

Posted on August 7, 2023 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Raise your hand if you love sending cards to your friends and loved ones! Teri here to show you to make a super cute card to drop in the mail next time you go to send out some happy snail mail!

Snail Mail Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamped Images and Shapes

Start by stamping and die-cutting a few mail-themed images and sentiments. Color them in with markers (or pencils)!

Pop Them Up

Use a combination of 3D Foam Squares Mix in White and 3D Foam Large Strips in White on the back of them. Is your strip or square too large? No problem! Use your scissors to cut the foam down to fit perfectly on your die-cut elements!

Put the Card Together

Set your die-cut images aside and apply strips of patterned paper to a card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Great for a strong hold!

Last Touches

Set your largest die-cut element upside down and apply 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back. Next, take a piece of thread or twine and randomly place it across it, allowing some of the fiber to “peek out” from behind the die-cut. Place the die-cut shape on your card.

Add your other stamped images to the card as well. Complete your card by embellishing it with sequins. Adhesive Dot Micro works well for this – the size is perfect! Simply place an Adhesive Dot on your card and set a sequin right on top!

I felt like the snail was floating a bit after I completed my card so I took a marker and scribbled a little shadow underneath it. Another fun idea would have to put some adhesive under it and add some flock or glitter to it. Maybe I’ll try that with my next card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make some cards of your own to send out!

Happy Creating!

Best Friends Forever Card

Posted on August 5, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a super cute Best Friends Forever Card. This card is easy to create, even for beginner card makers. And a finishing touch is added using the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Best Friends Forever Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wanna join me in creating the card? Let’s get started!

Card Base

Start by making the card base for the Best Friends Forever Card. Trim a piece of patterned paper into a rectangular panel. This will be your top card panel. Then adhere to a soft grey card panel and then to a white card base. To adhere the layers, I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Adding Dimension

To add some dimension to your Best Friends Forever Card, mat a die-cut notebook paper onto a piece of white cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then place diagonally onto the card using 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. This will add a nice dimension to your card.

Place a kitty shaker sticker onto the card, and adhere a die-cut banner onto the card with 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size for extra dimension. To fit the banner, I cut some 3D Foam Squares White Regular in half.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

For an extra luxurious and soft effect on my Best Friends Forever Card I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Start by adhering E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser onto the card. I like to use tweezers for precise placement of the hearts.

Then rub some white flock over the hearts. This will create a soft texture on the hearts….just like kittten fur! Simply tab off the excess flock and voilá…your Best Friends Forever card is ready.

You’re My Best Pal Card

Posted on August 3, 2023 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a fun pet lover card, You’re My Best Pal Card, using die cuts by Doodlebug Design, and 3D Foam Adhesives. Using patterned papers and matching die cuts make it easy and fast to create themed cards. For an added touch the pattern paper can be added to the flap of the envelope.

You're My Best Pal Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assembling the You’re My Best Pal Card

1. Gather the papers and pick out the die cuts for the card front. Cut the pattern papers to card size 5 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ is what I used.
2. Trim a triangle, the size of the envelope flap, from the pattern paper. Adhere it over the flap using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Trim around the flap with scissors and cut off the excess.
3. Add the bottom mat to the card base using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Add the second mat using the Crafty Foam Tape 108′ for added dimension.
4. Add the die-cut images using 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam White Circles Mix, and 3D Foam Strips.

Using an old toothbrush and watered-down black acrylic paint add a splash of color to complete the card. I love how
the paint adds a little distressed look to the die cuts. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on the You’re My Best Pal Card!

Collage Background Birthday Card

Posted on July 29, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I’ve put together a birthday card with Happy Birthday foiled banners over a collage background with metallic foil accents. Making the collage background is simple and can be used for several projects.

Collage Background Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Collage

Cut a piece of white cardstock 6 x 12 inches. This will make a collaged sheet large enough for several projects. Apply Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12 in. to cardstock and rub well to transfer adhesive. Partially peel back the liner at one end and place assorted torn pieces of patterned paper on the adhesive. Allow space between papers. Continue to peel back the liner and fasten the paper pieces over the entire cardstock. Cut off any pieces that extend beyond the edge.

Place a piece of pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors over the collaged paper (color side facing you). Press/rub firmly to transfer foil to spaces between papers. Lift the foil away and repeat until all spaces are covered with the foil.

Card Base

With a piece of 10 x 7-inch off-white cardstock, fold it to form a 5 x 7-inch card. I had a collage background from my previous projects. So I cut a 5 x 6-inch piece and used the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to the back to center it on a card.

Apply a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. along the top and bottom edge of the collage, peel off the liners, and place pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors over the tape, press in place and peel away the foil.

Make the Frame

Cut a 4.25 x 5.25-inch piece of text pattern paper. On the back side, draw lines 0.375 inches from each edge to form a rectangle. Use a craft knife or scissors to cut out the inner rectangle to create a frame.

On the back of the frame, apply two strips of 3D Foam Stri ps along all edges cutting pieces to fit the frame. Set aside.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Banners

Die-cut letters from black cardstock to spell “Happy Birthday.” Peel the top liner from a triangle pennant from the 3D Foam Pennants sheet. Use a pair of tweezers to center the letter on it. Repeat this step to spell out the sentiment.

Once done, cover them with blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Simply place the foil color side up, rub with your fingertips to transfer the color, and peel off the foil. Foil over all the letters. Reapply foil in missed areas.

Lay a piece of string on the non-stick craft mat. Starting with the “H” pennant piece, place it about 2 inches from the end of the string. Make sure the top edge of the pennant is on the string. Repeat to spell out “HAPPY.” Repeat the process with a couple of string pieces to spell out “BIRTH” and “DAY.”

Add Banners and Frame

Peel the top edge of the liner on the frame and place it on the card front centered over the collage background.

Remove the “HAPPY” banner from the craft sheet, and press the adhesive side of the pennant against pants or cloth to reduce some stickiness. Then lightly place it on the card. Repeat with the other two banners (“BIRTH” and “DAY”). Once they are in the desired area, press into place to commit.

Lift the frame and put strings behind the frame. Hold the frame up to peel the remaining liners from 3D Foam Stri ps on the back and press in place over banner strings. Trim string excess that extends beyond the frame.

Accent with 3D Squares Micro & Foil

Randomly place 3D Foam Squares Micro White near banners within the frame, peel the liners, cover with pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, rub to transfer foil, and peel it away.

And the card is complete! Here are more projects made with the same collage sheet: Collage Tag with Metallic Transfer Foil and Joy Collage Frame Canvas
