Santa at the Ranch Card

Posted on November 19, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here to share a fun and unique card project. Who combines Santa with a ranch theme on a card? Me! LOL! I will also show how the 3D Foam Strips can help in those hard-to-reach areas to create this wonderful holiday card!

Santa at the Ranch Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Thought Behind the Santa at the Ranch Card

To use the stamps that I had picked out I would need to build a scene. Then the elements would need to be stamped and colored. Last decide on the layout of the card and which elements will need to be trimmed out. I cut the cow, star, presents, scarf and suitcase out. The trees and deer were stamped on the card front after landscape was penciled in. I used Distress Oxide for the coloring and Archival for the card front.

Assembling the card

1. Pencil in a line to separate the sky from the snow. Stamp in trees. Adhere the small gifts under the tree using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
2. Using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the Santa cow to the card front. On the very end of the cows tail is a trimmed down piece of the 3D Foam Strips. Just the perfect size!
3. Next adhere the Santa hat over the cow horns and the suitcase with 3D Foam Strips.
4. The sentiment is embossed and adhered in the middle of the cow using the 3D Foam Strips.

Finishing touches

1. Adhere the card front to black cardstock using the Crafty Foam Tape 108′.
2. Adhere the card front to a folded card base using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Speckle the card front with acrylic paint for a snowy distressed look. I added black speckles to the snow ground also.

This was a fun Santa at the Ranch Card project!! I hope the concept of creating your own scene doesn’t scare you off. Pencil it off and that will get you started.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Holidays Card

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Happy Holidays card. With 3D foam products, you can easily create a stunning glitter effect on your Christmas cards. For my card, I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Also, the great thing about this card is that it’s quick and easy to create. Wanna join me in making this card? Let’s get started!

Happy Holidays Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Holidays Card Panel

To create the Happy Holidays card first you trim a piece of patterned cardstock to a rectangular size. Then it’s time for a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Start by die-cutting a tree shape from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black.

Now remove the white liner from the die-cut tree and adhere it to the patterned top card panel.

Remove the top liner and sprinkle copper glitter over the tree. Then rub the glitter over the tree shape using your finger for extra secure adhering.

Now tap off any excess glitter. You have created a glittered tree! This technique for making your adhesive shine is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside…it’s that simple!

Making the Card Base

Simply adhere the top card panel onto a red card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser for adhering. Then adhere onto a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser for adhering.

Embellishing the Happy Holidays card

Embellishing the Happy Holidays card is quite simple. First, adhere a small 3D Foam Star on top of the tree. Then remove the top liner and rub gold Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors over the star shape. Make sure you have the gold color of the foil facing up when rubbing the foil onto the star shape. You have just used the technique Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside again! Adhere a moose sticker onto the card. Then adhere a Happy Holidays sticker onto a red banner which you make from a leftover piece of the middle red card panel. Now adhere the sentiment onto the card using some leftover pieces from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black. Finish the card by adhering some pink rhinestones all over the glittered tree.

Voilá your Happy Holidays card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Watercolor Winter Shaker Card

Posted on November 15, 2022 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with you today to let you know that you still have time to make those Christmas cards if you haven’t started yet. See how I created this wonderful watercolor winter shaker card!

Watercolor Winter Shaker Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Watercolor Winter Shaker Background

To make my card I ink blended blue and purple inks on watercolor paper then went over it with a wet brush to make it look like it was watercolored. Once this panel is dry, stamp the snowflake with VeraMark Ink and emboss it with white embossing powder. A pine tree die was used to cut white glitter cardstock.

The E-Z Runner Grand was used to tape pine trees to the bottom of the watercolor panel, then the panel was taped to a blue card.

Winter Shaker Feature

3D Foam Circle Frames make shaker cards super easy! After stamping the sentiment with VersaMark Ink in the center of the card, heat emboss with white embossing powder. Then place one of the 3D Foam Circle Frames on the card. Make sure the sentiment is in the center.

Next, nest two circle dies together and cut to create a circle ring from white glitter cardstock. This size will cover the 3D Foam Circle Frame on the card panel.

Die-cut a piece of acetate using the larger circle die. Use the E-Z Runner Grand to tape the back of the circle ring and cover over the acetate to create the window. Add shaker bits in the center of the 3D Foam Circle Frame on the card panel. Peel off the top liner of the foam circle frame and place the window on top of the foam to finish.

Foiled Christmas Tree Card Tutorial

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello! Here’s a fun Christmas card to make with foil! This Foiled Christmas Tree Card shows off foil applied over adhesive applied with E-Z Runner adhesives and Adhesive Dots Mini!

Foiled Christmas Tree Card Tutorial by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Tree Stencil

Fold a piece of printer paper (scrap paper) in half. Towards the lower end of the fold measure 1.375 inches from the fold and make a dot with a pencil and draw a line from the dot perpendicular to the fold (bottom of the tree). Use a ruler to measure 4 inches from the dot to fold (top of the tree) and draw a line. Then cut along pencil lines and open the paper to reveal the stencil.

Cut Layers

Before starting the focal design, let’s cut the card layers! Cut a piece of 8.5 x 6-inch green cardstock, and fold it in half to form a 4.25 x 6-inch card base. Set aside. Next, cut a piece of black cardstock to 3.75 x 5.5-inch plus scraps for a sentiment.

Place Mask on Background

Use a pencil to lightly mark the vertical center of black cardstock (marks won’t show after the foil is applied) and make a pencil dot .5 inches from the top at the center.

On the back of the stencil, use E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to apply a few adhesive spots near the tree opening. Align the tree opening top at the pencil dot, use pencil marks to align it straight, and press in place.

Apply Adhesive and Green Foil

At top of the tree opening, apply the adhesive with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser starting on the stencil, across the tree, and ending on the stencil. Continue to apply rows of adhesive in the same way to cover the tree.

Remove the stencil. Check for any residual adhesive from E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser on the black cardstock and rub off any found.

Place green holographic foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors over adhesive, rub well with fingers and then peel foil away. If there are any places without foil, reapply and rub.

Apply Star

Use E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to apply one star on top of the tree, cover with the gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, rub well and peel away the foil.

Apply Garland Foil

Place the stencil in place over the tree again. Use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive in garland-shaped curves going from the stencil, across the tree, and ending back on the stencil. Repeat as desired.

Remove the stencil. Place gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors over the tree and rub well to transfer foil to the garland, then pull the foil away. Repeat if necessary to fill in any places without foil.

Apply Red Foil Balls

Place one Adhesive Dots Mini on the tree, peel away the liner and cover with red foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Rub well before pulling away the foil. It takes a little more care to pull foil away from Adhesive Dots. Repeat to add more ball ornaments over the tree.

Draw the Tree Trunk

Use a gold pen to draw a short tree trunk. Isn’t it striking against the black cardstock?!

Stamp the Greeting

On a piece of black cardstock, stamp the greeting with Versamark ink and add gold embossing power on top. Tap the excess off and melt it with a heating tool. Cut around the greeting to a narrow strip.

Apply adhesive to the back using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and fasten below the tree.

Assemble the Card

Apply E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the back of the tree panel and attach it to the front of the green card base.

Enjoy!

Holiday Coffee Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a festive and fun little project to share celebrating everything caffeinated. Here are all the details about my coffee-themed shaker card.

Grab Coffee + Let’s Create!

First I decided to create a very simple layered background for my shaker card using a white cardstock card base and patterned paper. I adhered these layers together using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Secondly, I stamped and coloured my wreath and coffee image using black ink, Zig Clean Color Markers, and a water brush. I used circle dies to cut the patterned paper circle for the base of the shaker, and the acetate for behind the wreath.

Adhere the acetate to the wreath image using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Next, add 2 layers of the 3D Foam Circle Frames White to the shaker base. Now the shaker pieces are ready to add the fun bits for the coffee-themed shaker card.

I added a mix of sequins to the shaker frame to coordinate with my card.

A strong adhesive makes my shakers that much sturdier when shaken. Using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, the wreath shaker was added to the card front.

Finally, I added the die cuts and stamped the coffee image using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I tied a burlap string bow to the mini tag sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed the Holiday Coffee Shaker Card! Don’t forget to keep reading for the Coffee Lover’s giveaway details.

Glitter Shaker Card Tutorial

Posted on November 10, 2022 by Guest Blogger

Hello friends! It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this fun little glitter shaker card filled on top and bottom with Nuvo Rainbow Quartz Triangles! This card was super easy to put together.

Glitter Shaker Card Tutorial by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glitter Shaker Card Base

First, I started with a piece of Jen Hadfield “Stardust” patterned paper in “B.F.F.” I cut the paper 5” x 10” and created a fold down the middle. I rounded the edges on the right side of the card to keep from creasing the corners.

Next, it’s time to have fun with the 3D Foam Circle Frames in White. I removed the adhesive backing off of one side and placed some acetate onto the surface. I then cut around the circle to remove the excess.

Next, it was time to sprinkle a liberal amount of the Nuvo Rainbow Quartz Triangles all over the sticky surface. I made sure to press the glitter into the adhesive side. Make sure to tap off the excess. You may just get glitter everywhere (don’t ask me how I know!).

Shaker Feature

Now it is time to sprinkle a little bit of glitter onto your card base right in the middle of where you would like to place your circle.

Next, gently apply the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. and remove the backing. Carefully set your glittery circle down. You should have a sparkly shaker on the inside and a gorgeous sparkly circle surrounding all of that shine!

Adding the Finishing Touches

I added some super simple stickers to embellish this sweet little card. I used 3D Foam Square White Mix. This is my favorite dimensional foam adhesive mix. You have the option to choose whichever size suits your project the best! How clever!

I hope that I was able to inspire you today to create a quick and easy glitter shaker card with impact!

MultiLayer Wreath Christmas Card

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you how easy is to make a multilayer wreath Christmas card without Dimension. My today’s project is full of layers but can be easily placed into an envelope to be shipped through our mail service. To make this, I will feature the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips and the Glue Pen Dual Tip.

MultiLayer Wreath Christmas Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Multilayer Wreath Process

I started selecting one wreath die cut. Then I die cut it four different times using two different colors of green cardstock.

First, I pasted all the die cut pieces alternating the shapes with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.

My tip on this type of design alternating the shapes is to avoid bunky parts. I just placed the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips on the center part of the die cuts.

Finishing the Multilayer Christmas Card

I created the card base using a different tone of green cardstock from the ones that I used to make the wreath. Then, I decorated it with a piece of designer paper in contrasting colors. Additionally, I adhered the layered wreath on the center of the card. To add these two pieces, the designer paper, and the wreath, I used E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.

Additionally, I die cut a message or sentiment onto red glitter cardstock. On this opportunity, I used the Glue Pen Dual Tip. I just placed the adhesive behind the letters that were on the center of the wreath to make the sides more flexible.

Thanks for stopping by and let me share how easily is created with multilayers and without dimension. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the unlimited possibilities of your adhesives!

Happy Birthday Stars Card

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Like to add texture to your handmade cards? Teri here to show you how with my Happy Birthday Stars Card with 3D Foam Shapes and flock!

Happy Birthday Stars Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This fun Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique is so fun and adds a ton of pizazz and pop to cards.

Making the Birthday Stars

Start by adhering several strips of patterned paper to a piece of cardstock. Place several foam shapes on top. I used 3D stars, but any open foam shape will work.

Burnish flock onto the shapes. Rub a piece of wax paper along the shapes to help burnish it down. Cut the shapes out with your scissors and set them aside.

Texture the Frame

Create a frame by adhering a 3D Foam Frame to patterned paper and cutting it out. Cover it with the flock. I recommend using a paint brush to sweep away any stray flock after you’ve burnished the flock to the frame.

Assembling the Card

Adhere a panel of patterned paper onto a top-folded card. Add your frame and the stars. Use Crafty Foam Tape to affix the largest element to the card.

Embellish your frame with a couple of Creative Photo Corners and sequins. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and adhere it to the card. Be sure to put foam strips on it, separating where it will overlap your foam shapes.

Complete the card by rolling some adhesive along the top and bottom of the card. Burnish some foil on top. Depending on what look you are going for, use either Dots or Strips for the adhesive.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to add some texture to your next card or scrapbook page just like my Happy Birthday Stars Card!

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card

Posted on November 5, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card. Being fall, the leaves are falling and pumpkins are ready to harvest. With that in mind, I created this easy-to-create card.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This pumpkin card is all about simple layering, some coloring, and adhering. Wanna join me in creating this thanksgiving card?

Making the Top Card Panel

Start by stamping the pumpkins and twines onto a white cardstock panel using a black ink pad. Also, stamp an extra image of the pumpkins onto a smaller piece of paper.

Next color the image of the separately stamped pumpkin. Then color the outlines of the pumpkin image you stamped onto the white card panel.

Layering the Pumpkin Card

Cut out the colored image of the pumpkins and fussy cut the image. Then adhere onto the top card panel using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

This way you create a subtle uplifting effect on your card. Then adhere the panel onto a dark brown card panel and use the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere.

Next, adhere onto a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser for affixing.

Embellishing the Pumpkin Card

Place a Happy Thanksgiving sticker onto a banner cut out from a leftover piece of dark brown cardstock (the same color you used for the middle card panel) and secure to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Adhere some tiny green mulberry leaves all over the card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen for adhering.

And voilá your Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card is ready. Easy to make, wasn’t it?

Wishing you happy crafting,

Pumpkin Square Card Set

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with an easy and fun way to make a plaid background using the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser and Distress Oxide Ink. I’m using pumpkin stamps to bring on the fall weather in this Pumpkin Square Card Set! Hoping anyway!

Pumpkin Square Card Set by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These Pumpkin Squares Cards are about 4″, so you will need to cut your card base, card mats, and card front accordingly. For my card front, I’m using a piece of white cardstock with some ink stains (in my stash). Now I’m all ready to go!

Plaid Background for the Pumpkin Square Card

1. Gather the supplies. You will need E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser, Distress Oxide Ink in Spiced Marmalade, and seasonal-themed stamps.
2. Starting from top to bottom, apply the Repositionable Dots Adhesive. Turn the cardstock and go horizontally with the adhesive. Apply the Distress Oxide Ink to the card front using a foam applicator.
3. Using your finger rub off the repositionable adhesive. The plaid design will start to show.
4. When all the adhesive is removed, spray the card front with water and then dab off. This will give you a distressed look.

Stamping and Embossing the Pumpkin Square Card

1. Using a stamping platform, stamp the image onto the card front. Re-stamp if necessary.
2. To put the card together, you will need the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, the Crafty Foam Tape 108′, and 3D Foam Strips (for the words).
3. Emboss the stamped words, using white embossing powder, on black cardstock. Cut into a word strip.
4. Adhere the Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to the card front and then adhere to the black cardstock mat.

Last Finishing Steps

1. Adhere the black cardstock mat to the yellow mat using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
2. Then the yellow cardstock mat to the folded white cardstock base.
3. I ran out of adhesive in between this process so super easy just popped in a NEW E-Z Runner Strips Refill.
4. Add the 3D Foam Strips to the back of the embossed word strips and adhere to the card fronts. Speckle with white acrylic paint to finish the cards.

Thanks for stopping by !!
