Dimensional Winter Layout

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little dimensional winter layout to share featuring a fun winter collection and some great Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products. Here are all of the details.

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

Start Your Winter Crafting

My first step in crafting my dimensional winter layout was to pick out the grey cardstock background. I cut the mat for my cropped 4×6 photo in white cardstock. Cut out the patterned tags that you would like to use for the layout background.

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

Add the photo to the white cardstock may using Creative Photo Corners Silver. Add strips of patterned paper to the top and bottom of the dimensional winter layout using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Tear the edges of the green patterned paper for that snowy look.

Start adding dimension by adding a striped patterned paper strip to the top and bottom borders using Crafty Foam Tape Black. The tags also get added to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

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

Splatter white paint all over the background of this dimensional winter layout. Let dry. Adhere the matted photo to the background using Crafty Foam Tape Black. This gives even more dimension to the layout.

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

I added burlap string bows to a couple of the background tags. Then began adding stickers, die cuts and foam stickers that coordinated with my photo. Use a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add the embellishments giving them depth and dimension between all layers of this dimensional winter layout.

You Are Missed Card

Hi, Connie here with my second blog post starting off the new year. I created a mixed media card, You are Missed Card, with a wax seal accent that is trending in cardmaking. What would secure this wax embellishment to the card? I didn’t want to melt the wax directly on the card but wanted the dimension so this is what I found out…

You Are Missed Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You are Missed Card Prep

To create the card there are a few things to do first.

You Are Missed Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. Cut a piece of mixed media cardstock and create a background using watercolors or Distress Oxide inks. I used three colors for a nice mix. Stamp the image on the card front. I used silhouette flowers placed on the Misti with Archival ink/Jet Black.
    2. Create a wax seal using a coordinating wax color. Set aside for later.

Home Sweet Home Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Home Sweet Home Card.  Being January, I chose a winter scene for this card.  The home sweet home sentiment makes the card also suitable to congratulate someone on a new home or as a welcome home card.

Home Sweet Home Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The card is very easy to make so also suitable for beginner card makers.   I would love to share how I made the card. Shall we get started?

The Blue Background Circle

Start by making a soft blue circle on a piece of white cardstock. For this, I used a soft blue inkpad and an ink blending tool. Remember it’s better to add several layers when building up color. By gently adding a little more ink each time you can create that soft fading look for the inked background circle.

Embellishing the Card Panel

Start by die-cutting the trees, a cloud, and houses from a piece of white cardstock.  Then adhere the die-cuts onto the inked circle using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Home Sweet Home Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the smaller parts, I cut some 3D Foam Squares into small strips (using a craft knife) so no adhesive will show. Using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix gives adds a lovely subtle uplifting effect to your Home Sweet Home card.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

To create a snowy effect on the Home Sweet Home card I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen and glitter. Add glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen following the bottom line of the houses and trees.

Home Sweet Home Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Sprinkle some glitter upon and tap off the excess glitter. Let dry. Next, I added a second layer of glue and again sprinkled glitter over the wet glue. Set it aside to dry.

Home Sweet Home Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This technique of making your adhesive shine is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Making the Card Base.

Start by trimming the top card panel for the Home Sweet Home card to the size you like. Adhere to a blue card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then add it to a white card base.

Home Sweet Home

I used my Dymo labeling tool to make a sentiment strip. Simply mat it to a white strip and place it on your card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Voilá! Your Home Sweet Home card is ready to be sent!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background

Hello friends! Valentine’s Day is not far off so here’s a pretty Love Tag with a background created with glue resist and Archival inks. It’s fairly easy to do and creates a nice background for this Love message with 3D Foam Hearts! I was inspired by a technique shown by Wendy Vecchi for a resist background.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Love Tag Background

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place #8 manila tag on scrap paper and place stencil over it. Squeeze out some glue from Dual Tip Glue Pen on a craft mat. Use a make-up sponge to sponge glue through the stencil onto the entire tag. Remove the stencil and wash off the glue. Allow the tag to dry for a few minutes or heat it with a heat tool to speed up the drying time.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use a sponge applicator tool to apply Distress Archival Ink Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry over the tag. Continue until the desired intensity of color.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dampen a paper towel with alcohol and rub over the tag to remove excess ink on resist areas and blend colors. Allow it to dry. Then stamp the script design randomly on the tag with Distress Archival Hickory Smoke ink.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Ink flourish stamp with Versamark ink, stamp, and with heat embossing with gold embossing powder. Press the edges of the tag onto the Versamark ink pad, apply gold embossing powder to the edges and heat emboss.

Die Cut Letters

Die cut “LOVE” and “You” from a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. Set aside.

Emboss Heart

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place large 3D Foam Hearts onto a non-stick craft sheet, cover with Distress Kitsch Flamingo Glaze, remove excess and heat emboss. Adhere the heart onto the tag.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With a Versamark marker, outline the heart. Next, apply the gold embossing powder and heat emboss it. Note if some of the gold embossing powder sticks to the heart, if preferred, brush off it before heat embossing.

Embellish the Letters

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Keep top release paper on letters and peel 3D Foam letters for “YOU” from the release sheet. Place letters on the heart. Remove liners from the letters and cover them with the gold foil in the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Remember to press the foil color side UP firmly on the letters and peel away to reveal the color. If there are missed areas, simply re-apply the foil.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place “LOVE” 3D Foam letters on the tag, peel away liners and cover letters with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors in gold (color side up). Press firmly and peel away to reveal the color. If there are missed areas, simply re-apply the foil.

Small Hearts

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place small hearts from 3D Foam Hearts on the tag – three at the top left edge and two at the bottom right edge. Remove liners and cover each heart with Distress Kitsch Flamingo Glaze. Remove the excess (use a brush to remove stray glaze) and heat emboss.

The photo shows the bottom two hearts embossed and the top three ready to apply the glaze.

Love Tag with Glue Resist Background by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Rub off the white seam binding with Distress Archival Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry inks, mist with alcohol, and crumple to distribute color. Tie seam binding and gold string to the tag.

Photo Corner Frame Hooray Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a pretty little birthday card to share featuring a Creative Photo Corner Frame. With it being a new year, like lots of people, I have things I would love to do better at in 2023. This year, I would love to send more cards. This means I would like to make more and keep on top of events each month this year. Here are all the details on this first card of 2023.

Photo Corner Frame Hooray Birthday Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Photo Corner Frame

First I cut my cardstock and patterned paper layers according to the die cut pieces I wanted to use for my card, including the gold cardstock layer that will have the Creative Photo Corner Frame.

Photo Corner Frame Hooray Birthday Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using the small white cardstock layer as a guide, add the Creative Photo Corners White to the gold cardstock layer starting with the corners.

Next, fill in the sides of the Creative Photo Corner Frame with more Creative Photo Corners White.

Adhere the first few layers of the Creative Photo Corner Frame card together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

I added the small white cardstock layer to the card using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

The die cut frame was added to the card front using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. I used the same adhesive to attached the sentiment die cuts together.

Attach the die cut sentiments to the Creative Photo Corner Frame birthday card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. The final touch was to add a few coordinating enamel dots for a little bit of extra sparkle and shine.

Hello Cards Two Ways

Hello, everyone! It’s Martha Lucia here. Today I would like to share with you two multidimension cards created with the same design. Let me show you the cards.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create Hello Cards Card Front

To make these cards, I decided to use the same design by just alternating the colors. Let’s keep the card base simple with white smooth cardstock.

The big difference is the color of the decorative layers plus the fun way to make them dimensional on each card. Die-cut the cover plate in white and pink cardstock. Keep all the positive and negative pieces as I will use them later.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First Card: Pink Card Front Hello

With each card, I used different adhesives. The first card, Pink card front Hello, has a floral pink top layer. I adhered it directly over the white card base using 3D Foam Squares White in Mix. The majority of the foam squares used were the 3D Foam Square White in small size from the package.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the flower centers, I placed a 3D Foam Squares Micro White (1/8-inch in size) on the back of each white dot and added them to the flowers. I will add the sentiment after the second card is completed.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Second Card: White Card Front Hello

For the second card, I adhered the white top layer directly over the card base with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, I popped up the large big pink petals using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. It looks stunning against the white! The small center dots were placed with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Love the various height of this card front.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Sentiment

For the final touches to the cards, die-cut the word and its shadow twice in alternating colors of white and grey cardstock.

Lift up the white hello word with the 3D Foam Squares Micro White and place it over its black shadow to complete the sentiment. Next, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere the black hello word to its white shadow to finish the second sentiment.

Hello Card Two Ways by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place lifted white hello sentiment to the pink card front with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Adhere the black hello sentiment to the white card front using a combination of the Dual Tip Glue Pen and 3D Foam Squares Micro White.

Hello Hearts and Butterfly Card

Hi, everyone! Like to add a bit of glitz with foil to your cards and scrapbook pages? Teri here to show you how to make a Hello Hearts and Butterfly card that combines foil with 3D Foam Shapes.

Hello Hearts Butterfly Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Card Base and Add the Foam Shapes and Foil

Start by creating a card base from cardstock and covering it with strips of patterned paper. You’ll also want to add two large 3D Foam Hearts to the card. Cover them with foil. Be sure to completely cover each heart.

Hello Hearts Butterfly Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add a 3D Foam Butterfly to the top of one of the hearts. Burnish a different color of foil onto the butterfly. Be sure to firmly rub the foil onto the shape before removing the sheet. If you miss a spot, just set the foil on it again and rub some more foil onto it.

Hello Hearts Butterfly Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add a few small 3D Foam Circles below the butterfly so it looks like it is flying away. Burnish foil onto them.

Hello Hearts Butterfly Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Bunch of a line of gold thread up and adhere it onto your card. You can use any adhesive you’ve got to do this. It will be covered up. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Adhere it onto the card and over thread with Crafty Foam Tape.

Complete the Card by Adding Some Extra Details

Add a few lines of adhesive onto the card’s background with a E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and burnish foil onto them as well.

Complete the card by adding a few sequins onto it. You can use just a few sequins or a whole bunch of them. It’s completely up to you.

I hope you are inspired to make a card with 3D Foam Shapes and Foil Transfer Sheets. Layering shapes together and using multiple colors of foil with them is a fun way to create a unique look and add lots of dimensions.

Happy creating!

Winter Birthday Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a winter birthday card. Winter birthdays are great to keep on using Christmas designs… simply give them a twist! And… 3D Foam Strips are great for making a frame to create a shaker card.  

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This winter scenery shaker card is not hard at all to create when you follow the instructions. Shall we get started?

Making the Top Card Panel

Start by inking a soft blue circle onto a piece of dark blue cardstock. To create the circle I used chalk ink and an ink blending tool. Gently dab the ink onto the cardstock and by adding layers of ink you can create a circle shape.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now let the ink dry. Then put the winter scenery die on top of the inked card panel and run through your die-cutting and embossing machine using the plates as recommended by its manufacturer. Gently remove the die and trim the cardstock to the desired size. Next, make another die-cut from a slightly larger piece of soft blue cardstock. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere both layers: the dark blue inked panel on top of the larger soft blue card panel.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then Trim the soft blue layer to the desired size.

Making the Shaker Element

First, run the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser over the back of the stacked Card panel. I chose the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser because of the thin line of adhesive it produces…this makes it possible to cover detailed die-cuts with adhesive without the adhesive showing through.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then adhere a piece of transparent sheet to the back.

To create a tray for the shaker material I used 3D Foam Strips to create a rectangular tray on the back of the top card panel of the winter birthday card. Peel off the liner on only 3 sides of the 3D Foam. So leave the liner on one side.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then adhere to a white card base. Now it’s time to fill the shaker with sequins, micro beads, seed beads etc.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then remove the liner from the 4th side of the 3D Foam Strips tray and thus you will close the shaker dome.

Finishing the Card

Since it’s a winter birthday card, I made a matching text strip “warm birthday wishes” which I adhered to a soft blue banner. Then adhere the banner onto the card using 3D Foam Strips.

Winter Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And voilá, your Winter birthday card is ready to give someone a very warm feeling!

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

Happy Birthday Shaker Card

Hi, Connie here with my first post for 2023!! I created a sweet Birthday Shaker Card using the Crafty Foam Tape White 54″ and the 3D Foam Strips. They are the same thickness (at 2mm or 1/16″), so together, they are perfect for constructing the shaker part of a card.

Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Setting Up the Birthday Shaker Feature

Before we can put this card together there are a few steps to get ready.

Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I’m using the Sizzix Die called Instant Photo as my shaker. Run the die through the
die-cutting machine with white cardstock. Cut a piece of acetate (clear film) for the frame cover.
Stamp image on white cardstock for card front embellishment.

Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using the inside piece from the Instant Photo die, add in a sky. I use PanPastels
and layer the colors in a row. Then take a circle stencil (or punch a circle out of cardstock)
works great, lay it over the sky and erase out the center. When using PanPastels it will remove the color.

Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Color your focal image, in my case, the bird, and cut it out. Gather some sequins for the inside of the
Instant Photo frame and the EZ Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser will get you started.

Constructing the Birthday Shaker

Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen glue the acetate sheet to the back of the photo frame.
    2. Cut a sheet of pattern paper or stamped paper, for the mat, that will hold the 4 x 4 sky
    background for the shaker. Use the EZ Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to
    adhere it to the mat.
    3. Place the Crafty Foam Tape White 54″ at the bottom of the sky piece and the 3D Foam Tape Strips on the top and both sides. By doing it this way, you have a straight edge that keeps the adhesive in alignment. I did this step twice so the sequins would have lots of room to move about.
    4. Before I could add the top to the shaker I wanted to stamp a bird and speckle with acrylic white paint. Dry with a heat tool before adding the sequins.
    5. Peel off the liner to the adhesive tapes and place the photo frame over the shaker bottom.
    6. Use Crafty Foam Tape White 54′ to adhere to the card base. Then using the EZ Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser adhere to the card front.
Happy Birthday Shaker Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To complete the card add the bird embellishment to the front of the card with 3D Foam Circle White Mix and the sentiment with 3D Foam Strips. Now give it a good shake :):)
