Metallic Embossed Card

Posted on March 29, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Using what I have in my kitchen, I took out my cooking foil to make this Metallic Embossed Card. Featuring the Adhesive Sheets, the card was embossed and WoW! So easy to do! Let’s see how it’s done!

Metallic Embossed Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Metallic Emboss Card Layers

Cut a piece of 7 x 6-inch black cardstock and fold in half to make a 3.5 x 6-inch card base. Next, cut a 4 x 6-inch panel and a 0.75 x 3.25-inch strip from black cardstock. Lastly, cut a piece of 5 x 7-inch aluminum foil.

Creating the Card Panel

Peel away the edge strip from one of the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in., align along the edge of the 4 x 6-inch panel, and press in place. Curl the Adhesive Sheet back and peel the remaining liner while pressing the Adhesive Sheet onto the cardstock. Burnish the sheet well with a bone folder to transfer the adhesive to the panel.

Lay aluminum foil on the work surface. Peel the liner from the panel and place the adhesive side down onto the aluminum foil. Turn it over and smooth the foil. Cut away excess foil along the edges of the panel.

Embellish the Panel

Place the foiled cardstock in an embossing folder with the foil side up on the raised pattern of the folder. Pass it through a die-cutting machine to emboss.

Apply Paint

Add a light coat of black paint with a brush and work it into the embossed pattern. Allow the paint to partially dry. Designer’s Tip: Can’t wait? Use a heat tool to speed up the process.

Rub gently with a folded piece of paper towel to remove paint off the embossed pattern. Allow it to completely dry or again, dry with a heat tool. Stunning!

Secure to the Card

Apply adhesive to the back of the embossed panel with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and attach to the card front.

The Greeting

Stamp a greeting with the Versamark ink on the 0.75 x 3.25-inch black cardstock strip. Cover it with silver embossing powder, remove the excess, and heat with a heat tool to emboss. To frame the sentiment, press an edge of the strip onto the Versamark ink pad, cover it with silver embossing, remove excess and heat emboss. Repeat for all edges of the greeting strip.

Finally, cut a piece of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. and place it to the back of the greeting strip. Peel the liner and secure it on the card front.

Wander & Wonder Layout

Posted on March 27, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

I found some pictures from a past trip so I decided to document one of them before I forget! LOL! Hi, Margie here today! Let me show you how I brought back an old technique, paper tearing, and creating clusters on the page.

Wander & Wonder Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Wander Layout Foundation

Three patterned papers were used to create my layout base. Two papers were hand torn, and the green patterned paper was kept as a whole 12 x 12-inch base. I secured all the layers with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. I like this adhesive for its strong hold as I will have layers of papers on top of the base.

Designer’s Note: Fold the papers where I wanted to tear, lightly mist the fold lines before tearing, and when dry, sand or distress the edges.

Photo Mat Layers

Using the same E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, I cut three mats and adhered with patterned papers: 5.5 x 7.5-inch (green pattern), 4.5 x 6.75-inch (dotted pattern), and 4 5/8 x 6 5/8-inch (taupe pattern). The mats were slightly tilted to give interest. The photo measures 4 x 6-inches.

Cluster Accents

I used the matching ephemera pack for unique cluster accents. Using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Strips, and 3D Foam Circle Frames White, the clusters have amazing dimension.

Title Cluster

In the ephemera pack, I made a title cluster and used a label where I wrote the place and year we visited. I love the varying heights using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Strips, and 3D Foam Circle Frames White (used the small solid foam circles).

Other Cluster Details

Four other clusters I created around the layout…love how they turned out. Always take another look at your page…you never know what other elements you can add.

I hope my Wander & Wonder Layout inspires you to document your trip!

Hello, Rhino!

Posted on March 25, 2025 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, this is Jingle and I am excited to share a super cute Hello, Rhino Card with you that uses all kinds of fun specialty papers.

Hello, Rhino Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Design Ideas Behind Hello Rhino Card

The thing about specialty papers is that they have a lot of interesting qualities to them, but that also means that finding the right adhesive is important. For this card, I relied on some fantastic choices from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to ensure my adhesives were not visible through the papers and that they would stay permanently attached to the card.

Layers with Crafty Power Tape

For the yellow mulberry paper and the gorgeous Aquamarine Glitter Gloss cardstock, I relied on the super sticky and easy-to-work Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. It works well with delicate papers better than a tape runner which can pull and tear them. On the flip side, the Crafty Power Tape is super strong to support heavyweight cardstock like the Glitter Gloss…a win-win!

Layers with Vellum and Rayon Papers

For the Kiwi Translucent Vellum and the White Hemp Flower Rayon papers, I use my trusty E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner). It hides away nicely and provides a gentle application for delicate papers.

The Finishing Touches

Finish the card off by using the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add the adorable critters. The sentiment is secured with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser. A bit of Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. pops the center panel up for some added dimension!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Take Care Card Duo

Posted on March 23, 2025 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Don’t you just love the look of foil on cards and scrapbook pages? Teri here and I am going to show you today these Take Care Card Duo. These cards show you how to combine Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, and Crafty Foam Tape 54ft. with embossing folders for a really fun, unique foiled (and textured) look!

Take Care Card Duo by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Take Care Card Duo Background Design

Apply strips of Crafty Foam Tape 54ft. across several white cardstock panels. Trim any excess tape over the sides of the panels. Next, place your panels in embossing folders and run them through your die-cutting machine.

Designer’s Tip: You might want to try this out before actually making a project. Pick a variety of embossing folders to see what takes to the foam tape best. Also, a good time to adjust your machine’s plate sandwich to ensure a good pass-through!

After your panels are embossed, remove the release paper from one foam tape strip. Apply a piece of color foil (your choice) from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors or Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top of the exposed adhesive (color side facing you). Gently rub to transfer the color. Refoil in missed areas. Repeat this foiling process until each strip is covered.

Turn Your Panels Into Cards

First, die-cut sentiments with white cardstock, and its outline in vellum. Adhere them together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Dispenser. Pop up the sentiment with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft and place them on the panels.

Add two gold corners from the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack to opposite corners on each panel. Make sure they are nice and secure. Apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Dispenser to white cardstock card bases and secure the embossed panels on top.

Finish your cards by adding a few small embellishments to them. Gems, sequins, and pearls all work well for this.

I hope you are inspired by today’s tutorial to give this Metallic Transfer Foil technique a try!

Happy Creating!

Little Boy Layout

Posted on March 21, 2025 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have such a sweet and simple Little Boy Layout to share. Here are all of the crafty details on how I created it.

Little Boy Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Little Boy Layers

Cut the two background patterned paper pieces and the cardstock mats for the 4×6 photo.

Adhere the mats and photo together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Creative Photo Corners Kraft for the photo layer.

Once again using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, add the individual background layers to the layout base. I also added a cardstock sticker border to the left edge of the little boy layout.

Design Layers

Add the matted photo to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black. I love that pop of dimension to this little boy layout.

Add die-cut embellishments around the matted photo using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Small Size and Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. This creates more dimension between layers without adding too much thickness.

The final touches are a few more embellishments and a burlap string bow to the top of the tag. All of these things create the sweetest little boy layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Adventure Awaits Layout

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Ali Skifton

Hi everyone! It’s Ali here today! I’m super excited to share this fun St. Patrick’s Day layout, Adventure Awaits, featuring the Adhesive Dots Micro—perfect for using acrylic word titles! My friend Sheri and I celebrated St. Patty’s by heading out to dinner in downtown Milwaukee, where we indulged in the most delicious shamrock shakes—they were pure heaven!

Adventure Awaits Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adventure Awaits Layout Back Story

For our adorable photo, I used an Echo Park collection, cutting out a shamrock frame from a 12×12 sheet. To add dimension, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. on the frame, making it pop! Plus, I added the 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind my stickers and flair from Scrappin Happy Studio to really make my page come to life! Did you see the leprechaun hat popping off the title? That’s because I stacked three foam squares behind it!

Final Element Details

I also used the Adhesive Dots Micro behind my Color Cast Designs acrylic word title “Adventures Await!” These little dots are fabulous to work with and are strong enough to hold down heavier materials—even though they’re small, they are mighty!

Wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you!

Cute Little Tiger Card

Posted on March 17, 2025 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Cute Little Tiger Card. To add a little extra sparkle to the card, I accented it with a subtle gold dotted background using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

Cute Little Tiger Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love to share how I made my card. Would you like to join me?

Creating the Tiger Card Panel

Make a blue circle on a piece of white cardstock with blue chalky ink and an ink blending tool. Just add a dab of the blue ink to the center of the cardstock and rub it in a circular motion. This creates a lovely “glow” of blue background for the Cute Little Tiger Card. Designer’s Tip: Use a chalky ink to give it a better glowing effect, as it dries slowly than normal ink and is easier to blend.

Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with E-Z Dots®

Roll and tap the E-Z Dots® Refillable Dispenser across the inked circle, leaving tiny glue dots, as shown in the image. Next, take a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and with the color side facing you tap on the exposed dotted adhesive. Rub the foil to transfer the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas.

This Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique makes your adhesive into embellishments.

Cute Little Tiger Elements

For my Cute little Tiger Card, I stamped a little tiger, a palm tree, and a leaf on a piece of white cardstock. Next, I colored the images with color pencils, and fussy cut them. Adhere the palm tree and the leaves to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Using 3D Foam Squares White Mix, I secured the little tiger for an extra lift. Lastly, cut a sentiment banner and adhere to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Making the Card Base

Mat the card panel with a green cardstock and then to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere all the layers.

And…voilá, your Cute Little Tiger Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Geo Diamond Thank You Card

Posted on March 15, 2025 by Margie Higuchi

Are you looking for an elegant thank you card? I was! We have a wedding to plan this year with my youngest son 🙂 I created thank you cards like this Geo Diamond Thank You Card to give at the rehearsal lunch. Using our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets with the hot foil system, I loved how they turned out! Hi, Margie here today and let me share my process with you.

Geo Diamond Thank You Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Geo Diamond Background

Following the instructions on my hot foil system, I used a gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. These foil packs are great as they have two sheets of five different colors and are packaged flat – no frustrating curled sheets! Depending on the pressure and the foil design, test before committing. Designer’s Tip: a sand eraser is your best friend if you have over-foiled areas.

Creating the Sentiment

Die-cut the sentiment with gold mirror cardstock for extra sparkle! Then die-cut its outline with vellum paper to finish and anchor the greeting. Usually, I place the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ on the back of the mirror cardstock before die-cutting but I ran out. #Gasp!

I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. If you run it through your die-cut words, it only hits the words and rarely leaves dots on the table surface below. If it does, rub them off. Designer’s Tip: Use the crease tool to press the words into the vellum outline for a firm adhesion.

Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner), adhere the sentiment to the card panel.

Assembling the Thank You Card

Let’s put this Geo Diamond Thank You Card together! For a subtle lift, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. because of its 1/32″ height (half of 1/16″). We also have Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. which has a height of 1/16″. Add the panel to an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5 in.) white cardstock card base. To finish, I randomly placed sequins with the Adhesive Dots Mini.

I hope my Geo Diamond Thank You Card tutorial helps when looking for an elegant design!

Lucky Friendship Card

Posted on March 13, 2025 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! It’s almost St Patrick’s Day which inspired me to make this Lucky Friendship Card featuring a shiny shamrock. I used Adhesive Sheets, 3D Foam Creative Sheets and Metallic Transfer Foil to make hearts for the shamrock. Scroll down to read all the details.

Lucky Friendship Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lucky Friendship Card Base and Layers

For the card base, cut a piece of 8.25 x 6.5-inch white cardstock, score and fold to form a 4.25 x 6.5-inch card. From another piece of white cardstock, cut it to a 4 x 6.25 inch rectangle and a 3 x 6 inch rectangle. Then cut a piece of 3 x 4-inch green cardstock.

Ink and Distress Cardstock Pieces

Use Distress Ink Oxide Iced Spruce ink pad for a direct-to-paper application to color both white cardstock pieces. Apply more ink to the smaller piece to make it darker. Mist both pieces with water. Then spritz each piece with Distress Spritz Mowed Lawn. Allow to dry

Die-Cut Letters

Apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of the small inked paper and burnish to adhere well. From that piece, use a die-cutting machine and alphabet dies to cut letters for “LUCKY”

Attaching the LUCKY Letters

Carefully remove die-cut letters from dies, peel liners and fasten to large piece of inked paper. Use ruler to align letters about .375 inches from bottom and .75 inches from left edge. Press firmly in place. Designer’s Tip: Use a heat gun to heat letters to help adhesive be more sticky after being pressed through die cutting machine. Apply adhesive to back of panel with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to card front.

Make Shamrock Pieces

Cut 3 x 4 inches piece of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. and apply to green cardstock. If cardstock has texture, fasten to that side. Smooth side with Adhesive Sheet applied will be front.

Use heart dies and die cutting machine to cut 4 hearts (approx.. 1.125 x 1 inches). Also cut strip .375 x 3.5 inches and stem for shamrock. Remember side with adhesive is front.

Peel liner from a heart, place face down on back side of green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, turn over and press foil to transfer and then peel away. Repeat for each heart, stem and strip. (Designer Tip: I found it easiest to place heart face down on back of foil but you may lay heart on work surface, peel liner and press foil on it)

Cut a 2 x 6 inches piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black. On the paper side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet, align larger heart with smaller one inside, tape in place and repeat for 4 hearts. Run through the die-cutting machine to cut. Carefully remove hearts from 3D Foam Creative Sheet, and remove dies. Set aside smaller hearts for another project.

Carefully peel shiny liner from open heart, align on foil covered heart and press in place. Repeat for all hearts.

Peel liner from open heart and place on back of green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Turn over and press the foil to the heart and peel away. Repeat for all hearts.

Stamp the Verse

Stamp verse on white cardstock with black ink and trim to narrow strip about 2.875 inches long. Place face down on scrap paper and apply adhesive to back with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Fasten on foiled strip. Designer’s Tip: This verse stamp had word “crafty” in it which I omitted by cutting the verse apart.

Assemble Shamrock

Slightly bend each heart so sides curl back. Place small square from 3D Foam Squares Black Mix near top on back of each heart. Arrange on card. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive on the back of one heart point, remove liner, and press the heart in place on card. Repeat for each heart.

Place the stem face down on a scrap paper, apply adhesive with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser on the stem and press it in place on the card.

Finishing Touches

Cut narrow strip of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black and fasten to back of verse strip. Peel liner and attach the verse to the card front across the letters.

Now this sweet Lucky Friendship Card is ready to send! I hope you try making accents similar to mine with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black and dies in your stash!

Playful Luggage Tags

Posted on March 12, 2025 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, this is Jingle here today sharing a super simple and useful project! We are making Playful Luggage Tags to dress up a backpack, luggage, and more. Another bonus…it’s a great way to find your pack or luggage right away!

Playful Luggage Tags by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Playful Luggage Tag Ideas

These tags come together so quickly! A perfect accent for a kid’s backpack, your luggage…even as a gift tag on a basket or bottle of wine! Just customize your materials for the recipient!

Gather Up Your Tags

To begin, you are going to want to pull out the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops. These come with 4 different colors in the pack, so you can customize based on your favorite colors! There is a pink one, too, but my own kiddo stole that one before I took the photo. Naturally. You will also need some patterned papers of your choice, some stickers or die cuts, and alphabet stickers or dies.

Embellish The Tags

Begin by cutting the patterned paper to size. The package for the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops tells you the exact dimensions to use, which is super nice! After trimming, you can add your name using alphabet stickers or die cut letters. I use tweezers for placement as I find it easier to see where I am placing the letters that way.

For this one, I kept the one side simple with the name and a single ice cream die cut and then added three cute cupcake die cuts using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. That little guy is perfect for small projects like this one! I use plenty of adhesive so I am sure they will stay secure.

Assemble

The next step is to add the insert into the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops! These are nice and sticky, so you will gently peel away the colorful side, carefully place your insert where you want it to be and then gently lay the sticky, colorful layer over the insert to seal it into the tag. Only the colorful side has the adhesive so you do have some wiggle room to move your insert into the perfect spot.

Finally, you simply add the clear plastic loop to the tag to finish it off! If this is for a gift, you could replace the loop with a ribbon or something different. But if this is for a backpack or luggage, these nice strong loops are really fantastic! I love the high quality of the tag pieces.

Remember that the colorful side of the tag will go over one side of your insert, providing a neat color overlay look. These were so fun, I made another one straight away.

I do hope you give these fun Self-Laminating Tags with Loops a try! This is a super kid friendly project, too. My five-year-old created one right alongside me to give to his Daddy.
