Colorful Happy Scrapbook Layout Ideas

There were a ton of thin strips left over from a previous project that I just could not toss out. I thought of a few creative ways to use them on projects and I want to share a quick and easy one with you today! I started with a piece of 11 x 11″ white textured cardstock and matted it onto a black patterned paper.

Using my E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, I apply it to the center back of each patterned paper strip. This adhesive is perfect as the double-sided tape is 1/8″ wide. Once all the strips of pattern paper were adhered, I matted my photo onto some pattern paper using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots and then popped the photo up with Crafty Foam Tape 108ft in Black.

Embellish the Happy Colorful Scrapbook Layout

Now that my main design elements are down it is time to add some fun and colorful embellishments along with my title. I used pieces from the Bella Blvd Birthday Bash collection along with a few puffy stickers from the Bella Besties. To adhere the embellishments down I used some of the 3D Foam Squares Mix in White and my favorite Dual Tip Glue Pen.

St Patrick’s Day Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little St Patrick’s Day Card to share. This card features some fabulous decorative buttons from Button’s Galore & More and loads of my favourite color, green!

St Patrick's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

First I cut a white cardstock card base to 10 x 5″, folded in half. I also cut a piece of the darker green cardstock to 4.75″ square. This is also when I cut the button shanks off the back of my decorative buttons.

St Patrick's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the green cardstock to the white cardstock base of the St Patrick’s Day Card using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then I cut 2 light green, and 2 dark green squares that are 2″. I cut 2 gold and 2 light green squares that are 2.25″. Adhere these squares together and then to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

St Patrick's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the decorative buttons to the middle of each square using Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable. Sometimes I will double up the Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable, which will often help secure bulkier items in place.

St Patrick's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the letter stickers to a strip of black cardstock. Flag the ends, and then mat in gold cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This will make the sentiment for this St Patrick’s Day Card POP!

St Patrick's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the matted sentiment to the middle of the card front using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I then added green gems to either side. This is the final green touch to this St Patrick’s Day Card.

Simple Birthday Pocket Card

Hi, Emily here today! I’m very excited to be sharing a Simple Happy Birthday Pocket Card with you all. This pocket is on the front of your card, so it’s the first thing the recipient sees!

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Birthday Pocket Card Base

First, I started with two pieces of patterned paper: one a little more busy (for my pocket) and the other a little more tame (for my background). I cut these out with my A2 Liner Die, so they’d both be the same size.

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Pocket Feature

From there, I took the floral paper and trimmed the long side down to 4 inches, so it would become a 4 x 4 square. Next, I cut this diagonally, to make 2 triangles.

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This will form our pocket! Now, time for the adhesive! It’s important to use strong adhesive when putting the pocket together, so I of course chose the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. to put my pocket together. Put it on the bottom part of the back side of one of your triangles to adhere them together.

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I like to make sure my pocket is the length of my card, it gives me enough space to slip some things inside my pocket! Once that was complete, I adhered my card panel to the front of my card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then, I grabbed the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, and used that along the edges of my pockets to adhere it to the front of my card. The thinness of this tape allows you to be able to get the most room out of your pocket!

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellishing the Birthday Pocket Card

For a fun decorative touch, I added a piece of ephemera, using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the bottom part of my pocket, leaving the top portion still open. How cute is that?!

Simple Birthday Pocket Card by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pocket cards are great for slipping something extra special into the card, like a gift card holder! Or even a little notecard with something special written on it. You decide! Let me know if you try out this fun way to make your own pocket!

Be Different Art Journal Page

Hi, Connie here with a Be Different Art Journal Page using the 3D Foam adhesives for that wonderful dimension it gives a die cut or stamped image. I’m creating with a combination of inks, stamps, and stencils for a mixed media look. The elements on the page were secured with a variety of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products 🙂

Be Different Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To start the project there is some pre-work that will make the page come together with no stress:):)

Be Different Art Journal Page Prep

Be Different Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. Using Distress Oxide inks, create a background mix. To achieve this, I used four coordinating colors, watered down, and randomly added to the page. Stamps and stencils were combined using Archival, for stamping, and Distress Oxide inks for stenciling.
    2. The focal images, letters, and word strips were stamped with Distress Oxide inks. Then trimmed out.

Assembling the Art Journal Page

Glittered Butterfly Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Spring in mind, I made a spring-themed Glittered Butterfly Card. This card is super easy to create so also suitable for beginner cardmakers! 

Glittered Butterfly Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding a 3D effect has never been more simple than simply using 3D Foam Butterflies. Wanna join me in creating the card? Let’s get started!

Glittered Butterfly Card Panel

To create the top card panel for the Glittered Butterfly Card, nest two rectangular cutting dies, and die-cut from white cardstock.

Glittered Butterfly Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then leave the cut paper inside the die and color the edges with an ink blending tool and a pink ink pad.

Glittered Butterfly Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now remove the dies and see a gorgeous pink coloring bordering around your card panel.

Glittered Butterfly Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Butterflies and Glitter

Now it’s time to add the dimension to the card.  First, adhere 3D Foam Butterflies (and dragonflies) onto the inked card panel. By using 3D Foam Butterflies you create lovely dimensional embellishments. Carefully remove the top liner and adhere pearls onto the sticky foam butterflies and dragonflies. Next, sprinkle pink glitter all over, rub the glitter in to secure, and then tap off any excess.

Create the Card Base

Mat the card panel onto a pink panel with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Add the layered panel to a white card base. And… voilá your Glittered Butterfly Card is ready! Yep..it’s that simple. Wishing you happy crafting!

Make Your Heart Sing Tag

Hi, Judy here today! When I was working on this project, I was struggling with an idea. As I sat at my worktable, I started looking through a dish of bits and pieces and I found a die-cut heart and a verse that inspired me to make this vintage-looking tag.

Make Your Heart Sing Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Layer and Ink Tag Background

The base is a #8 manilla tag. I pressed some adhesive from Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. along the left side and placed pieces of a torn old book page on it leaving gaps between pieces.

Over the exposed adhesive areas, I sprinkled Distress Glazes, heat embossed them with a heat tool. Repeat until I like the look of it.

The entire tag is colored with various Distress inks rubbed over it. Script and foliage are stamped on the tag with black permanent ink.

Create the Heart Focal Point

These hearts are from my stash: a foil heart cut from foil-covered cardstock and a smaller heart cut from fabric-covered cardstock. Fabric-covered cardstock was made by attaching the fabric to the cardstock using Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. Foil-covered cardstock is made with aluminum foil tape from the hardware store taped on before die cutting.

By rubbing Distress Crayon and Distress Archival Black Soot ink onto the edges of the foil heart, it gets a more vintage look. Rub Distress Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain inks on the fabric heart for an “old” look. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to secure the fabric heart over the foil heart.

Create the Verse

To make the verse pieces, stamp the verse on white cardstock and cut it apart into separate pieces. Color each verse piece with Distress inks and small amounts of Distress Vintage Photo Glaze heat embossed on them.

Lift with 3D Foam Strips = Perfect!

Apply strips of 3D Foam Strips Black to the back of all verse pieces. It has the perfect width so lifting and attaching sentiment strips are so easy!

On the back of the heart, add 3D Foam Squares Black Regular to the center part to fill in the raised part of the heart. Add 3D Foam Strips Black around the edges of the heart.

Embellish and Secure the Lace

To make the lace look old, rub with Distress Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain inks, mist with water, and roll in a ball to spread ink through the lace, allow to dry or dry with a heat tool. Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. along the top edge of the lace.

Assemble Pieces on Tag

Peel the liner from the lace edge and adhere across the tag and trim ends. Next, peel the liners from the heart, and attach it over the lace. Make sure to press well to secure. Arrange the verse pieces, peel the liners from each piece, and place them on the tag.

Near the bottom edge of the tag, place a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in. and wrap ends about 0.5 inches to the back of the tag. Remove the liner and place two strands of cord over the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in., press in place, wrap ends to the back of the tag, and trim excess.

Finish with a Bow and Ties

Tie a piece of cord into a small bow. Place Adhesive Dots Micro on the back of the bow knot, peel the liner, and place the bow on the heart.

Make Your Heart Sing Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use Distress ink to “age” several pieces of torn fabric and cord. Lastly, loop through the tag hole…and done!

Galentine’s Day Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I thought I would share a little Valentine’s Day-inspired creation. Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples. It’s time we celebrate the love we have for everyone in our lives. So today I am sharing a Galentine’s Day Card. Tell your friends you love them this year. Here are all of the details.

Galentine's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty

Firstly, I inked up my Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment and covered the V with a small piece of washi tape. Then stamped it on white cardstock. Add the glitter letter G to the sentiment completing the Galentine’s Day Card phrase. Next I die cut out the sentiment, a red cardstock mat and a pink cardstock decorative mat. Create a white cardstock card base.

Galentine's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut a piece of orange cardstock and the patterned paper base. Adhere the patterned paper base to the white cardstock card base using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Add the orange cardstock piece to the Galentine’s Day Card using Creative Photo Corners White. Adhere the die cut layers together using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and set aside for now.

Galentine's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the layered die cut piece to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. I also added the strawberry cardstock sticker with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Galentine's Day Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To add a little sparkle to the Galentine’s Day Card I attached red gems to the die cut piece. I had a coordinating envelope for the card and added a cardstock sticker to the back of it.

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheets Two Ways

Hi, Emily here today! Do you have a stash of paper scraps in your craft room you want to get rid of? Before doing so, check out this technique where I use strips of paper with Adhesive Sheets 4×6 to create a beautiful background for my Feel Better Card!

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheets Two Ways by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheet First Way

What’s great about the Adhesive Sheets is you can use them with your die-cutting machine! They leave no sticky residue, and the backing peels off very easily so you can create your own stickers. That is one way I used these sheets. I had a word die I knew would need some adhesive on the back. Instead of using glue, it was so much easier to use an Adhesive Sheet! That way, when I stuck my letters (Feel Better) onto my vellum piece, there was no residue.

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheets Two Ways by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheet Second Way

I was inspired to create this card background because of the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 in particular. These are the perfect size for an A2 card base! I started by peeling the backing off the Adhesive Sheet and then placing it onto some white cardstock. From there, I carefully peeled back the other sheet off to expose the adhesive. I then used strips of different patterned paper to form a diagonal pattern on my white cardstock. This is a fantastic way to use up your scraps in the craft room!

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheets Two Ways by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

From there, I die-cut out the base of my card, and assembly was fairly simple since my background was complete! To put my word piece onto the base of my card without any adhesive showing through my vellum, I used the 3D Foam Squares Micro in White. These worked perfectly, as they were small enough to be behind each letter and also added some dimension to the front of my card!

Feel Better Card: Adhesive Sheets Two Ways by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I finished it off with some sequins, and it was quite simple to make! The Adhesive Sheets make it so easy and way less messy than having to use glue. If you’d like to see a full process video on how this card came together, you can find that on my YouTube channel here!

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card

Hi, Erica here today to share an adorable shaker card! Valentine’s Day is coming up and I have an easy Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card you can create to share with your loved ones!

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card Products

I gathered up one of my favorite Doodlebug Design collections, Lots of Love, with its stitched heart dies, card base, and Odds & Ends elements. You will also need some foam adhesive. I like using the 3D Foam Creative Sheets so I can cut my own strips. Or you can pick up some 3D Foam Strips which are 1/8″ in width…personal choice!

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create The Shaker Frame

You will need to create a frame for your shaker. I used two layering heart dies and some pattern paper from the Doodlebug Design Lots of Love collection. You will also need to run the larger heart die through your die-cutting machine to cut out two pieces of clear acetate or vellum.

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add Adhesive

Next, you will adhere one piece of the acetate to the back of the die-cut heart using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Then add thin foam strips that I cut from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to the back of the die-cut frame. I layered up my foam strips so the sequins had plenty of room to move around.

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I find that if you remove both backing pieces from the foam it is easy to move it around the curves of the heart. Once you have your foam adhesive down you can fill the center with sequins. Take the second piece of adhesive and close up the shaker. You may need to trim off some of the acetate from the second piece if you have any of it showing when you flip your shaker over.

Add Pattern Paper

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Trim some pattern papers to adhere to your card base using the 3L E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong. Next, adhere your shaker element to the center of your card base with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Finishing Touches

Life is Sweet Valentine Shaker Card by Erica Thompson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once your shaker element is dry on your card base it is time to add some finishing touches. I used the Odds & Ends to create floral clusters on the shaker. The Dual Tip Glue Pen is the perfect adhesive to use for the leaves. I add a small amount at the ends of the leaves and tuck them behind the floral clusters. For my sentiment, I used one of the Chit Chat pieces and popped it up using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Laced Love Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, it’s time for some LOVE inspiration. With that in mind, I made a Laced Love Card with of course…lots of lace! I would love to show you how to create this delicate card.

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I can assure you it’s by far not as complicated as it looks…just use the right adhesive products like Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L! Shall we get started?

Laced Love Card Panel

First, trim a piece of soft pink cardstock to the size you would like to have for the top card panel of the Laced Love Card. Then cut lots of pink lace pieces to cover the top card panel horizontally.

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Affixing the lace is super easy. Simply adhere the lace onto the card panel using Crafty Power Tape 81ft. This adhesive won’t show any adhesive traces guaranteed!  Next cut off the excess lace using scissors.

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base

To create the card base for the Laced Love Card, mat the laced card panel onto a soft pink card panel. Next, add to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Flowers Element

As a last-minute decision, I added a flower ribbon as a fun element. I used Adhesive Dots Mini to simply place behind each flower heart and adhere to the card. These adhesive dots are clear so it does its job of strong bond without being seen!

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Love Sentiment

Since it’s a Valentine’s card, I wanted to add a love element to my card. First I die-cut the word LOVE from white cardstock. Then I adhered the sentiment onto my Laced Love Card using 3D Foam Strips.

Laced Love Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This creates a lovely uplifting effect on the card and is the perfect width at 1/8″. And voilá, the Laced Love Card is ready.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy Valentine’s Day crafting!
