Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page

Hi, Connie here with a fun and messy Art Journal page. I’m using the Adhesive Sheets 4×6, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors, and the E-Z Runner® Grand Repositional Dots Refillable Dispenser. This is a great start in creating a background with texture for your Art Journal page.

Brilliant and Resilient Art Journal Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

As always there is some prep work before the texture can be added. I used Distress Oxide inks and stencils first then added the texture. I use lots of stamps and stencils to get the look I like. That is the fun part 🙂

Adding elements to the page

  • 1. Keep adding color to get the look you are happy with. I ended up adding in more blue and yellow ink. To adhere collage papers or ephemera, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Works well as a collage medium.
    2. Die cuts or stamped images were adhered with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
    3. Words are stamped and embossed on black cardstock. Then adhered to the page using my favorite 3D Foam Strips.
    4. Small stars are stamped, cut out, and adhered to the page using the Adhesive Dots Small.

Some other cool effects, that add texture to a page, are stamping over the die cut/ephemera. Another one is tearing edges or legs, as in my case :):). Also, speckle acrylic paint over the project. Most of the time I go with white acrylic paint, something about white just makes it all better.

Let’s Get Started!

The first step is to cut the patterned paper, and white cardstock layers for this A2-sized easy foiled circles card.

Easy Foiled Circles Background Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the middle white cardstock layer about 3/4″ larger than the patterned paper sentiment. Add the large 3D Foam Circles White Mix around the border of the white cardstock layer.

Using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, start adding color to the circles around the 3D Foam Circles White Mix border of the Easy Foiled Circles Card. Simply face the foil color up over the exposed adhesive and rub to transfer the color. Then peel off to reveal a sparkly circle!

Floral Silhouette Spring Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a spring themed thank you card. Inspired by spring colors, I inked and added a sweet floral silhouette while creating this card. With 3D Foam Squares Micro White, it’s super easy to add a dimensional effect to a detailed die cut.

Floral Silhouette Spring Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And…the great thing about this card is that it’s super easy and quick to make. Wanna join me in creating this spring-themed card? Let’s get started.

Top Card Panel Background

Start by coloring a piece of white cardstock in bright and happy spring colors like red, orange, and yellow. To make the background colors I used chalky inkpads and ink blending tools to blend the spring colors from red to orange to yellow.

Floral Silhouette Spring Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Designer’s Tip: use patterned paper for the background to make the card even quicker to create!

Add Floral Silhouette Elements

First die-cut some stems from white cardstock. Then adhere them onto the colored card panel using 3D Foam Squares Micro White.

Floral Silhouette Spring Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These super tiny (1/8-inch) 3D Foam Squares Micro White are perfect for lifting up detailed elements. Using 3D Foam Products, you too can achieve a wonderful dimensional effect like this Floral Silhouette Spring Thanks Card!

Lastly, place one 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size underneath the stems. This is where a yellow satin bow is added. Then stamp a sentiment onto using a black ink pad.

Floral Silhouette Spring Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Card Base

Now it’s time to trim the top card panel to the desired size. Make sure the Spring bouquet is centered when trimming your card panel. Adhere to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

For the finishing touch, I adhered some yellow rhinestones to the bouquet. Voilá! Your Floral Silhouette Spring Thank You Card is ready!

Floral Silhouette Spring Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Use a white paint marker to make all keys and space bar white. Use a silver pen to color the knob, return lever, point, and areas that will show through the top piece when put in place.

Glue the top piece in place using Dual Tip Glue Pen. The small tip end of the Dual Tip Glue Pen makes application easy on small areas.

Stamp Words

CAS Partner in Crime Card

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with a Clean and Simple (CAS) Partner in Crime Card that you will love! I was inspired by the talented Bibi Cameron to make this CAS Split Card Front. Thanks to the aid of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products, I was able to achieve this idea!

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

CAS Partner Card Base

I created the card base with White Smooth Cardstock. Then, from the top of the card, I cut six strips with a paper trimmer.

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I placed one of the strips on the center of the panel and added a thin layer of adhesive with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser or use the E-Z Dots® Repositionable (I ran out – gasp!). Then, I started to adhere the other strips leaving spaces in between to complete the card front.

Designer’s Tip: You can add the first and the last strips first as a reference for placement. Then you can add the rest of the strips.

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Next, I added a dot of the Dual Tip Glue Pen on each side of the strips, and place another strip vertically. Cut the excess off the bottom ends. Then remove the center reference strip.

Designer’s Tip: If some of the dots from the reference strip won’t come off easily, try a sand or white eraser to assist!

Voila, the decorated card base is finished!

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Decorate the Card Front

Stamp the sentiment on one of the strips with black ink. On a piece of white smooth cardstock, stamp and die-cut a fox image. Color it with Alcohol Markers and place it on the card base with 3D Foam Squares White in Mix.

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cover the back of the colored fox image by die-cutting another fox shape in white cardstock and adhere it with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Easy Embellishments

For the finishing touch, randomly apply some hearts from the E-Z Runner Hearts on the top of the card. Foil with a piece of magenta color from the Metallic Transfer Foil from the Variety Colors. Simply apply the foil over the exposed adhesive with the color side facing up and rub it with the fingertips to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal and repeat with the other hearts.

CAS Partner in Crime Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I hope you enjoyed this Clean and Simple Easy Card. We will love to see your projects inspired by this idea.

Happy Spring Cards

Hi, everyone! Spring is almost here, and Teri here to show to how to make a couple of Happy Spring Cards inspired by the season’s color scheme and butterflies!

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Spring Cards’ Layers

Start by creating a card base and adding a couple of pieces of patterned paper. Try to pick light colors, like pinks, greens, and anything pastel. Add a torn page from an old book. I used a page from a book that is over 100 years old. The page was fairly fragile so I put adhesive on the patterned paper and then put the torn page on top, rather than applying adhesive to the page and then placing it on the card.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add a library book card (or a tag) to the card. Add two 3D Foam Butterflies to it and gently burnish the foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Color onto them. Make sure to face the foil color side up. Peel off the foil to reveal the color. Easy!

Roll some of the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots onto the edges of the card. Rub off some of the dots with your fingers for a distressed look. Once you’ve done this, apply foil using the same steps above to the dots.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You’ll also want to add some faux paint splatters. These are really easy to create with Adhesive Dots Micro. Simply place a few dots on your card and then add some foil to them. Be sure firmly burnish the foil onto them to make sure they are completely covered.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a sentiment for your card by stamping some words on cardstock. Add strips of Crafty Foam Tape to the back of it. Ball up a little metallic thread and place it under the tape.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finish the card by placing a few buttons. Be sure to use buttons in Spring colors!

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Take 2 on Another Spring Card

You can kick things a notch when making a second Spring inspired card. Stick with the same color scheme but embellish the card a little differently.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Instead of using a book card, go without it. Add faux paint splatters to your buttons. It works just like when adding them to paper. Simply place an Adhesive Dot Micro on your button and apply Transfer Foil on it.

Happy Spring Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I hope you are inspired to make a few Happy Spring Cards of your own!

Pastel Love Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Pastel Love Card. With Valentine’s Day coming up this is a super fun and fairly easy-to-make card. I’ll share some unique ways to embellish the card. So follow along!

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

Wear Your Adhesive on The Outside

Start by trimming a piece of pink cardstock to a rectangular size for the top card panel of the Pastel Love Card. Then a combination of 3D Foam Circle Frames White and 3D Foam Circles White Mix are randomly placed on the card panel.

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

Remove the liner from one of the 3D Foam Circles. Rub a piece of foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors (with the colored side facing up) onto the circle. Peel the Metallic Foil off to reveal the color. Repeat with several colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors.

For a fun effect, I added glitter to some of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Remove the liner, and apply the glitter over the exposed adhesive. Make sure the glitter has securely adhered. Shake off excess.

This type of technique is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It is taking the adhesive from between the layers and showcases them as an embellishment. A wonderful way to make the most of your adhesive!

Wrap the Card Panel

For another unique technique, let’s wrap the dotted top card panel with a piece of tulle! Cut a size slightly larger than the top card panel of the Pastel Love Card.

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

Flip the top card panel to its back. of the top card panel facing up. Run the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser along the edges of the panel.

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

Carefully fold the tulle around the edges and on top of the adhesive. Press down to secure as shown in the picture.

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

Making the Card Base

Adhere the wrapped card panel to a yellow mat. Use the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere the layers to the white card base of the Pastel Love Card.

Adding the Sentiment

Die-cut the letters “LOVE” from a white chipboard. Use 3D Foam Squares Micro White to adhere the word onto the card. This helps level the sentiment from the height of the embellishments plus it sticks well on textured surfaces!

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

And voilá, your Pastel Love Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this Pastel Love Card tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Happily Ever After Card Set

Hi, Connie here with a mixed media style Happily Ever After Card Set using the adhesive on the outside. So fun and easy to do! All you need is the Adhesive Sheets and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets to get started. Stamps and stencils come in handy too!

Happily Ever After Card Set by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happily Ever After Card Background

Happily Ever After Card Set by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I went with a mix of Distress Oxide colors to give my card backgrounds a distressed look. Red tones are a must for February.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil

Happily Ever After Card Set by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  • 1. I chose a pink sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Pastel and an orange/copper sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature. I used the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 as the adhesive. The perfect size for a small project.
    2. Take one of the Adhesive Sheets and crumple it up making a loose ball. Uncrumple so it is wrinkled.
    3. Randomly place the Adhesive Sheet on the mixed media background and pull up (leaving the sticky adhesive).
    4. Lay the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet over the sticky adhesive and pull it up. Continue to repeat this process until
    you get the amount of color that you want on the card backing.

Adding stencils and stamps are also a great way to distress the card front and is so fun!
