Collect Beautiful Moments Card

Posted on July 13, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I’ve put together a layered card of botanical images to make the Collect Beautiful Moments Card. Once the stamped elements were created, it goes together easily with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft.

Collect Beautiful Moments Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Beautiful Moments Card Base

From white cardstock, cut an 8.5 x 6-inch piece and fold it to make a 4.25 x 6-inch card. Use a foam applicator to apply Vintage Photo ink around the edges. Cut a 3.75 x 5.5 inch Kraft cardstock. Use stamps from Field Notes with Vintage Photo ink to stamp the background and then rub Vintage Photo ink over the entire piece. Cut a piece of 3.875 x 5.625-inch mat from black cardstock.

Stamp and Die Cut Images

Stamp a large butterfly image two times on white cardstock, stamp a small butterfly once, and the number image once. Use a rectangle die to die-cut one of the large butterfly images. Fussy cut around the other butterfly image and color with markers.

For the small butterfly, align a small rectangle die horizontally across the image and along the left side and die cut. Then place the die over the opposite edge of the image, aligning the top and bottom edges in the die and die cut again to get a square image

Align narrow die over number image and die cut. Cut black cardstock mat for each stamped die-cut image (not for cut-out butterfly).

Assemble the Beautiful Moments Card Base

Secure each image to the corresponding mat using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Using the same adhesive, layer the Kraft piece onto a black mat. Adhere it to the card base.

Adhere the Images to the Card Front

Arrange images on the card front allowing space for stamped verse. See the photo for the verse stamp placement on the card.

Apply strips of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to the back of the main image, peel liners and fasten to the card.

Place strips of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. at the bottom and top right corner of the small butterfly image. Apply the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser along the top edge. Peel liners and press in place on the card.

To the number image, apply a small piece of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. at the right end (use the end that will extend beyond the main image). Apply adhesive to the rest of it with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Peel the liner and press in place over the top edge of the main image.

Stamp Verse

Stamp the verse with a stamping positioning tool and ink. Cover the stamped verse with clear embossing powder, remove excess, and heat to emboss. Designer’s Tip: Use a small brush to remove stray embossing powder as needed

Lift the Butterfly

Cut pieces of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. and place them on the back of the wings of the cut-out butterfly. Add a second layer of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. to larger wings. Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the body only. Peel the foam tape liners and attach it to the card aligning the butterfly body first and then press the wings in place.

Clean and Simple Tag Layout

Posted on July 11, 2023 by Tracy McLennon

hello scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have a Clean and Simple Tag Layout to share in just a few easy steps. Here are all of the crafty details.

Clean and Simple Tag Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Clean and Simple Tag Layout Design

First I cut the layered background for the tag layout. For the black cardstock, cut 12×12″, and for kraft cardstock, 11×11″. Cut out and adhere the coordinating tags to the kraft cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Add burlap string to each tag and adhere it behind the kraft cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser again. Using the same adhesives, adhere the kraft cardstock to the black cardstock base.

Create a simple layered border strip from patterned paper and white cardstock. Adhere these layers together, and then to the middle of the tag layout using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Mat the cropped 4×6″ photo in white cardstock using Creative Photo Corners Black. Then adhere the matted photo to the tag layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

The final touch is to add some coordinating embellishments around the tag layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sparkling Banner Congratulations Card

Posted on July 8, 2023 by Guest Blogger

Hello, Jennifer here with another Guest Designer project to share with you today! It’s a Clean and Simple Style Sparkling Banner Congratulations Card.

One of my absolute favorite things about Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products is that they have so many creative adhesives on the outside products! Don’t get me wrong… the perfect, long-lasting adhesive that no one ever sees is essential, but I do love it when I can get creative with an adhesive and really let it shine! These 3D Foam Pennants are absolutely delightful! Let me share with you how I created this Clean and Simple design!

Sparkling Banner Congratulations Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Sparkling Banner

I began with a simple pen drawn string across my white panel. I then adhered five fishtail pennants from the 3D Foam Pennants, trimming the two that hit the edge.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

Keeping the backing on three of the 3D Foam Pennants, I gently lifted the backing off the other two and sprinkled pink glitter on them. Use your finger to smooth out the glitter for best results. And, well, to sparkle a bit for the rest of the day. Love the Sparkling Banner result!

Once coated, the adhesive is no longer sticky (because it is covered with the glitter entirely), so you can gently remove the backing from the other 3D Foam Pennants and sprinkle silver glitter on those. Again, use your finger to smooth out the surface.

Aren’t these sparkling banners fantastic?! You can add them to any celebratory card!

Working on the Sentiment

Next, we want to stamp the sentiment. I chose a fun Congratulations Sentiment from Ink Blot Shop for this card. This is a long and thin sentiment that I knew I could bend to fit the curve of the banner.

Use your Misti grid guide to get that curve just right and then stamp with black ink.

Next, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the white panel to a pink panel to coordinate with the glittered banner.

Finishing Up

Finally, use Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. to adhere the completed panel to the card base to pop it up and add just a bit more dimension.

Clean and Simple design with a whole lot of pop and sparkle! I hope you love this Sparkling Banner Congratulations Card. Share your sparkling creations with me by adding links in the comments.

So Kind Thanks Card Tutorial

Posted on July 7, 2023 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Teri here to show you how to make a colorful So Kind Thanks Card that is packed with color and details! If you want to thank someone, do it big and bold! I used colorful patterned papers, a cover die, and 3D Foam adhesives to pop elements out.

So Kind Thanks Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Big & Bold So Kind Thanks Card

Start with a cover plate die with a lot of text on it. Die-cut the cover plate multiple times from cardstock and patterned paper.

Remove the letters from all the dies. Apply E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots to the back of one of the dies. If you have left any letters in the die, don’t stress about it. Just put adhesive on them as well.

I like to use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots because the adhesive hits large spots, as well as narrow areas. Simply set the die on a piece of scratch paper and then run the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots over it until it’s completely covered.

Adhere a piece of patterned paper onto a card as a card panel and then add your cover plate die-cut shape.

Begin placing your letters in the die-cut shape’s open spaces. Use Crafty Foam Tape 13ft. in White to mount some of them to make them pop off the card. Don’t be afraid to use your scissors to cut your tape pieces to fit onto your letters. Continue adding letters to the card with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Card Panel

Embellish the card by adding a small die to it. Also, stamp a secondary sentiment onto a strip of cardstock as well. Mount it to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape 13ft. in White. Use your scissors once again to trim the tape to fit on the sentiment strip. If you have the 3D Foam Strips, use those and cut (pun intended!) your time.

Apply a strip of E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser onto one of the letters. Give it a little texture by adding flock or glitter to it.

Complete your card by securing some sequins to some of the letters with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Got leftover die-cuts? Use them to make more cards. Replicate your card design or change it up by embellishing it in different ways! I hope you enjoyed this So Kind Thanks Card Tutorial.

Happy Creating!

Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a fun Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card. I am adding in an unexpected element – tissue paper! Did you know that the Dual Dual Tip Glue Pen is the perfect adhesive for tissue paper?

Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This card is fairly easy to create and I would love to share how I made it. Oh… and a touch of the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside is also used! Wanna join me in creating?

Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card Step Outs

Let’s start by making the top card panel of the Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card. Tear a piece of patterned tissue paper to fit part of a white top card panel.

Apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen over the back of the tissue paper using your finger or the broad tip. Place it onto the top card panel. Make sure to adhere the loose ends of the tissue paper by rubbing more Dual Tip Glue Pen adhesive over the edges of the tissue paper. Then let dry.

Adding Color and Elements to Card Panel Background

Place the top card panel of what is going to be your Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card on top of a paper towel. Then sprinkle pigment powder over the panel. Spray a water mister on the pigment powder to reveal its color and let it flow over the card panel. Let dry. You can use a heat tool to speed up the drying process.

Next, adhere washi tape horizontally over the top of the card panel. Make sure to fold the ends to the back of the card panel. This creates a wonderful layer!

The Card Base

Mat the top card panel onto a black card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base. Now it’s time to embellish the Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Stars

To embellish the Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card, start with running the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser in a vertical line over the card.

Cover and rub to secure the glitter embossing powder over the stars. Tap off the excess and use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder. This technique is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It’s such an easy technique without the fancy tools…just use what you have!

Finishing Touches

Adhere a piece of cotton lace horizontally over the card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Add a small picture onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle lift for interest. Lastly, add a washi tape sentiment.

And voilá…your Hey There Gorgeous Mixed Media Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Hi, Connie here with a Make Today Count Card using the Adhesive Dots Small, to connect the buttons to the card front, making it so easy!!!

Make Today Count Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Make Today Count Card background is a mix of Distress Oxide Inks and acrylic paint making it a perfect backdrop to the stamped images.

Assembling the Make Today Count Card

1. Mat the card front to the black cardstock panel using Crafty Foam Tape 108′.
2. Next, adhere the layered card front to the green cardstock mat using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to a white card base.
3. Make the leaf cut-out shapes into a cluster and place it on the card front with the 3D Foam Circle White Mix. This will give it dimension and interest.
4. Using the 3D Foam Strips, adhere the sentiment to the leaf cluster so it will stand out from the embellishment.
5. Add the buttons using the Adhesive Dots Small. This will secure those heavier elements to the card front.

So perfect to add the buttons with!!!

Cute Cat-Titude Card

Posted on July 1, 2023 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here today! Since so many of us are on the go during the summer, I thought of a quick card using cute papers and stickers from Doodlebug Designs to create a Cute Cat-Titude Card!

Cute Cat-Titude Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep the Cat-Titude Card Base

Cut a piece of decorative paper to 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the card panel. Attach a tab piece from the Doodlebug Bits & Pieces pack, using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. I applied the tape on both the front and back sides of the tab so it’s attached to the top right of the patterned panel.

Secure it to a peach-colored card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Let’s Embellish

Also, use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to attach the heart note paper to the card. Place 3D Foam Strips Black on the back of a tag from the paper collection and add pink jute to the top of the tag. Pop this up on the card.

Wear Our Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

Using the Doodle-Pops Playtime, place the cat sticker on the tag, the mouse stick on the bottom right of the card, and the two cat prints on the upper right of the card.

Apply three hearts from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser on the card, two on the tag, and one on the pink panel the tag is layered onto. Sprinkle the hearts with pink glitter, press to secure, and shake off the excess. I love how easy that is and without any special tools!

Final Touches

In order for the pink jute to bend vs sticking up, I dabbed a little glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen on the card and placed the jute in it. Once it dries clear, you won’t know what happened! Shhh..our secret! 🙂

Happy 4th of July Star Tag

Posted on June 29, 2023 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Wow! Where did June go? it’s only a couple days until July. With 4th of July just around the corner, I put together a Happy 4th of July Tag featuring 3D Foam Stars and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors that add shine and sparkle.

Happy 4th of July Star Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Background Panel

Fasten Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in. to piece of white cardstock and trim to 4 x 6 inches.

Partially peel liner from Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in. at one end. Attach pieces of washi tape across the panel leaving about .125 inch gap between each one. Continue to peel the liner back and fasten washi tape until the entire piece is covered. Avoid touching adhesive between tapes as much as possible.

Place red foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors over adhesive between washi tapes and press to transfer foil. Continue until all gaps are covered with red foil.

Trim off washi tape ends and edges of the panel if needed to remove any areas without foil or washi tape. Cut a 1.125 x 5.75 inches strip from washi-covered paper and a 1.25 x 6-inch piece of navy cardstock. Use the tag as a guide to trim the top corner of washi paper and navy mat to match the tag corner. Fasten together using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Apply adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to the back of the matted washi tape panel and fasten in place along the left edge of the tag.

Add Small Stars

Use E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to randomly apply stars along the right side of the tag. Cover stars with silver foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, rub to transfer foil, and peel away foil. Continue to cover all stars with foil.

Create a Large Foil Star

Remove the small star from the center of the largest stars on the sheet of 3D Foam Stars. Carefully lift the points of the large star along with the inner three stars. When all points are lifted, continue to lift the entire group of 4 stars and place them on navy cardstock.

Peel liner from the largest star, cover with red foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, rub gently to transfer foil to the star, and peel away.

Repeat for the next star using silver foil. Continue with the remaining two stars alternating red and silver foils.

Use scissors to cut around the star leaving a narrow border of navy cardstock.

Make Greeting Strip

Stamp the greeting on white cardstock and cut along the curve of the greeting and beyond to make the strip long enough to fit across the tag.

Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the stamped greeting and fasten it to a piece of navy cardstock. Cut along the greeting strip leaving a narrow border of navy.

Attach Star and Greeting

Attach Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of the large star and greeting strip, remove liners, and attach both to the tag.

Place Open Stars

Remove a medium open star from a sheet of 3D Foam Stars and attach it over the background panel near the top of the tag. Remove the liner, cover it with a silver foil sheet from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, rub to transfer foil, and peel away. Place another medium open star between the large star and greeting and apply the foil.

Tie Fibers on Tag

Cut 2 lengths of white seam binding, 3 silver strings, 2 navy cords, and 1 red silk ribbon about 15 inches long, insert them together in the hole of the tag, and tie a knot.

Happy early 4th of July!

Floating Strips Thank You Card

Posted on June 26, 2023 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I have a fun tutorial to share with you on how to create Floating Strips in a Thank You Card. This is a technique that you can use for any occasion.

Floating Strips Thank You Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Floating Strips

To make a fun and creative card with floating strips, you can use acetate or window sheets and strips of cardstock! I’ll show you how to use dies to cut different shapes.

For this sample, I went for a circle die but you can use any shaped die for this technique. Additionally, I used strips of cardstock, but you can also use strips of patterned paper and use up your scraps.

To make this type of card, you’ll use a window as your base and put strips of cardstock or patterned paper over the top. First, I die-cut a circle in heavyweight acetate and several strips in different colors of cardstock.

With Dual Tip Glue Pen, I started to adhere the strips one by one, leaving a tiny gap in between. But don’t worry if the glue seeps through, simply wipe the excess and it will dry clear.

After adhering the strips, let them dry well. Then trim the excess strips off around the circle with a pair of scissors.

For added interest and dimension, I placed small 3D Foam Squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and a few from the 3D Foam Squares Micro White. This makes my Floating Circle work on my card. Love it!

Finishing the Card

Make the card base and the top layer. For the card base, I used Sahara Sand cardstock, and for the top layer, White Smooth cardstock. Cut the top layer a little small than the card base and secure it on top with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Then, I centered the floating circle and stamped a Thank You sentiment with Black Ink to create a striking contrast. As an accent, I added a gold leaf over the floating strip circle using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Thanks for visiting and believe me, it has been my complete pleasure to share this idea with you! Give it a try!

A Little Birdie Told Me Birthday Dimensional Window Card

Posted on June 25, 2023 by Guest Blogger

Hi, Jennifer here today with my second project as a guest designer at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L! I love how easy it is to combine adorable patterned papers, stickers, and great Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to bring together a super cute Birthday Dimensional Window Card in no time at all!

A Little Birdie Told Me Birthday Dimensional Window Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dimensional Window Card Front

For this card, I used the Pretty Kitty collection from Doodlebug Design. You guys…I am not even a cat person, but these elements are just TOO CUTE! First, trim the background panel and adhered it to my card using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then add the window sticker to the center of the card with that cute little kitty peeking out!

Sentiment Placement

I trimmed one of the border pieces to size (the hearts) and then added that across the entire card, again, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere it. Finally, I added the Happy Birthday banner strip using Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. (from the giant roll, of course… because that is EXACTLY how I roll). Adding that bit of extra dimension coordinates perfectly with the layered sticker and is so easy to do!
