Faux Postage Fall Card

Posted on October 13, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! I’m enjoying all the golden fall colors here where I live. And that is the inspiration for colors on this Faux Postage Fall card that features images stamped on die-cut postage. It’s actually an easy card to make and! And it can easily be adapted to other occasions with different stamped or printed images.

Faux Postage Fall Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Faux Postage Fall Card Base

From Fossil cardstock, form 3.625 x 8.5 inches slimline card. Rub Distress Vintage Photo ink along the edges. Then cut a 3.25 x 8.125 inches mat of black cardstock and a 3.125 x 8 inches piece of rust cardstock.

Using Vintage Photo Distress ink, stamp bats at the top and corn stalks about one inch from the bottom. Rub Distress Vintage Photo ink along the edges and then rub Distress Black Soot along the edges. Attach it to a black mat using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and then add it to the card front using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser adhesive.

Postage Stamps Steps

Cut three faux postage shapes from white cardstock and three from black cardstock. Using Archival Black Soot ink, stamp bats, scarecrow, and corn on faux white postage shapes. Ink just the bird on the scarecrow stamp and stamp on the corn. Use watercolors to color images.

When dry, adhere each one slightly offset on a black faux postage shape using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Happy Fall Greeting

Stamp greeting on white cardstock with Distress Archival Black Soot ink and trim to narrow strip. Use watercolors to add color. Cut a 3.125 x 0.5 inches strip of black cardstock. Secure the greeting to the black strip using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Finish Card

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back of the bat and the corn faux postage shapes. For the scarecrow postage shape, adhere 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Designer Tip: 3D Foam Squares will make it slightly more lift to the card to give it more prominence.

Arrange faux postage shapes on the card front, peel liners from foam squares, and attach each faux postage shape in place.

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back of the greeting band and secure it across the lower edge of the card.

All done and ready to send to someone special!

DIY Glitter Scalloped Border

Posted on October 11, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a tutorial to share on how I created these fun and sparkly DIY Glitter Scalloped Borders. Here are all of the cute and crafty details.

DIY Glitter Scalloped Border by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

First I picked out a nice bright patterned paper as your 12×12 background. Then cut a piece of white cardstock to 11.25×11.25. Adhere these 2 layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

The next step in creating the DIY Glitter Scalloped Border is to cut the patterned paper strips. I cut strips of patterns that are 0.5″ wide. The lengths can vary, as you’ll be trimming those to suit the layout in the next step.

If you look closely you will see that I traced the photo I was using for the layout onto the white cardstock background. This will act as a guide for your DIY Glitter Scalloped Borders. I then cut the patterned strips to different lengths to suit the placement of the photo.

Next I added the larger (0.5″) 3D Foam Circles Black Mix circles to either side of the DIY Glitter Scalloped Border strips. You’ll notice I didn’t bother adding them to where the photo will be, Just a few in behind to keep the middles from sagging.

Let’s Add Glitter!

I chose ultra fine glitter from my stash that coordinated with these bright and fun patterned papers. I added different colors of glitter to most of the DIY Glitter Scalloped Border strips. Now the strips can be adhered to the layout.

Mat the photo in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then add a second mat of white cardstock using Crafty Foam Tape White. Add the matted photo to the layout also using Crafty Foam Tape White.

The final touches come by adding a few coordinating embellishments around the layout using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall Memory Dex Card Tutorial

Posted on October 10, 2022 by Guest Blogger

Hello friends! It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this quick yet impactful tutorial using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and the 3D Foam Leaves. I wanted to use some of the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to create a couple of Fall Memory Dex Cards. I love the idea of using our adhesives as embellishments for crafting! The 3D Foam adhesives come in lots of other shapes. I cannot wait to try them all!

Fall Memory Dex Card Tutorial by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fall Memory Dex Card Step Outs

I started out this project by creating two fun base cards using a Fall collection. Next, I chose a few colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. I choose a brown, a copper, and a bronze tone to coordinate with the collection that I’m using.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foils

I crinkled up the foil sheets to create little cracks in the product. I love that such an easy technique has such a big payoff!

Now it’s time to apply the foil to the 3D Foam Leaves! Remove the top protective layer off of the leaves and firmly press the foil to the surface. Smooth it out all over your shape using the tips of your fingers. It’s totally ok if you miss a spot. Just reapply the leftover foil bits and the adhesive will grab the foil. How cool!

Let’s take this idea just a tiny bit further. Use a contrasting color of leftover foil and apply it to the areas that were left bare from the crinkling technique. You will get a lovely bit of contrast and it will look even more like real leaves!

Assemble the Fall Memory Dex Cards

I love to add dimension to my projects. So I used some of the small sizes of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix on my embellishments!

Don’t you love the look of the layered foiled leaves with stickers and a bit of washi tape? Definitely a great combination for upcoming fall-themed projects!

These Memory Dex cards are going to look so cute for documenting the Fall season!

Focal Striped Card Tutorial

Posted on October 9, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here. Today, I am sending a little message with this sweet Focal Striped Card featuring 3D Foam Strips in Large. What a fun and unique way to enhance a card design. Let me show you how!

Focal Striped Card Tutorial by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Start with the Focal Stamp Image

I started printing two images of the digital stamp set Sending a Little Message onto white smooth cardstock. Then, I resized the layer to 5.5″ x 4.25″.

I first traced three vertical lines over the center of the stamped image of 3/8″ wide to cover the major part of the flower base. I used a pencil to then can erase the lines inside of the image and colored it with Alcohol Markers.

When I was satisfied with the coloring, I inked the borders of the printed layer and splattered them with Fireworks to add more interest to the layer. Additionally, I cut with the paper trimmer the traced lines and pasted the 3D Foam Strips in Large over each piece.

The traced strips were less wide than the strips included on the 3D Foam Strips Adhesive Package. I made it with the intention to use the strips included on both sides of the package that are less wide than the others.

Assembling the Card

To assemble the card, I created a white smooth card base and pasted the lateral sides of the decorated layer directly on top. For it, I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.

Then, I pasted the colored strips in the corresponding place. Like the adhesive strips were less tall than the cardstock strips, I completed it with a tiny piece of Crafty Foam Tape White 108 ft.

Voila, my focal Striped card is finished!

I hope you are inspired by this easy and fun technique. With this Focal Striped Card, you add a different look to your colored images and make your cards look wonderful.

Happy creating!

Amusement Park Autograph Book Tutorial

Posted on October 7, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Planning an adventure at your favorite amusement park? Teri here to show you how to make an autograph book to take with you and collect signatures of all your favorite characters!

Amusement Park Autograph Book Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This book is easy to make and comes together quickly! Whether you are planning to visit next week or in six months, this project will be a great way to record your adventure!

Autograph Book Base Pages

Start by cutting some pages from cardstock. Each page should be about 2″ wide. The pages can be as long as you want them to be!

Randomly apply a line of dots from the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable to some of the pages. Set a bronze sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors on top with the shiny side facing up. Burnish the foil onto the dots.

Continue to decorate your pages by adding pieces of patterned paper and stickers to them. Give your pages a little glitz by applying some stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars and E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable to them and adding foil on top.

Take some small tags and tear them up. Add pieces of the tags to your pages with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser so you can have amusement park characters sign them in the future. Also, use a hole punch to add holes to the top of each page.

Flat Embellishment Ideas

Set your pages aside and get out some more small tags. Apply E-Z Runner® Stars and foil them onto the tags.

Designer’s Tip: I wanted my book to be flat so I choose to use “flat” adhesives for this step. Want your book to have a little bulk? Use 3D Creative Foam Shapes instead. There are a lot of shapes available and they look amazing when paired with metallic transfer foil.

Assemble the Autograph Book Pages Together

Now, you are going to assemble the book! Take a piece of twine (or recycle some string from one of your tags) and bring it through all the pages and tags. Try mixing things up by placing a page before a tag and a page after each tag!

When finished, you’ll have a cute little book to pack in your backpack when you hit the park!

Have the characters sign your pages during your visit! Worried you won’t have enough space for all the characters to sign your book? Leave the back of your pages blank so they can sign them as well!

Thank you for stopping by today and taking a look at my Amusement Park Autograph Book Tutorial!

Happy creating!

Best Wishes Fall Shaker Card

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Fall Shaker Card. Simply use the leftover pieces of 3D Foam Leaves to create this Fall Shaker Card.

Best Wishes Fall Shaker Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The technique I used to create this shaker card is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Wanna join me in making this Fall Card? Let’s get started!

Creating the Top Card Panel

Start by adhering the leftover frame of 3D Foam Leaves onto a piece of patterned paper. Simply peel off the back liner and adhere to the card panel.

Next fill the leaves with shaker material like micro beads, seed beads, glitter, and sequins. Then carefully remove the top liner and adhere it to an acrylic sheet that is slightly smaller than the 3D Foam Leaves sheet.

Creating the Foiled Layer

For an extra effect, I adhered a second left 3D Foam Leaves carefully over the shaker layer. Then remove the top liner. Wrinkle some pieces of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and dab the foil (with the color facing up) over the shaker fall top card panel.

Next, sprinkle dark brown glitter upon it and rub the glitter over the remaining adhesive parts. Then tap off any excess glitter. The technique of making your adhesive shine is also known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Making the Card Base

Start by adhering the Green top card panel of the Fall Shaker Card onto a piece of kraft cardstock. For adhering I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base.

Embellishing the Card

First, adhere a piece of orange satin ribbon vertically over the card Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then fold the ends of the ribbon and adhere it to the inside of the card. Next, make a satin bow and adhere to the card using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Finally, adhere a sentiment sticker onto a piece of white cardstock and adhere onto the Fall Shaker Card using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser for affixing. And voilá, your Fall Shaker Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Home Sweet Home Scrapbook Page

Posted on October 3, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a Home Sweet Home Scrapbook Page using Simple Stories and the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. which is our tear tape. I needed a strong tape for the pocket that will hold journal tags on the scrapbook page.

Home Sweet Home Scrapbook Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Home Sweet Home Back Story + Prep

This is a photo of the house that grew up in. As a kid, I thought it was a mansion. It provided everything we needed. It will always be home even though it has a new owner. So many fun times as a kid.

A little prep work ahead of putting the page together. You will need three sheets of patterned paper in the following sizes (each in a different pattern): 12 x12 in., 6 x 12 in., and 3-1/2 x 12 in. There is also a need for some tags and labels. I used Simple Stories’ Happily Ever After Collection to keep it consistent in color and style. Also, I used die-cut shapes in the collection to cluster for a point of interest.

Assembling the Page

1. Use the Premium Double-Sided Tape to adhere the 6 x 12 inch horizontally to the middle of the 12 x 12 in patterned paper. I placed the Premium Double-Sided Tape about an inch from the edge, so the tags will tuck in nicely but be snug.
2. With the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser, secure the 3-1/2 x 12 in. sheet of patterned paper in the center of the 6 x 12 in. piece.
3. Adhere and lift the 5 x 7 in. photo to the right, centered in the horizontal strip with Crafty Foam Tape.
4. Add labels, to the left of the photo, in the center section using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I used this area to add the dates.
5. Secure the One Line Sentiments with 3D Foam Strips, on the tags and the top embellishment cluster. A perfect size to lift and secure those sentiments!
6. The vinyl letters are from my stash and outdated so they might not be as sticky. I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere them. It worked perfectly! Some of the tags were decorated with stickers using the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and some were used for journal thoughts.

Thanks for stopping by and scrapbooking the Home Sweet Home page with me. I’m remembering why I loved this craft for over ten years.

Slimline Foil Merry Christmas Card

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with you today with a vintage-style slimline foil Merry Christmas card that uses Metallic Transfer Foil, pigment ink, and embossing powder.

Slimline Foil Merry Christmas Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Slimline Foil Greeting Steps

Place a Merry Chippie face down on a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in., rub to transfer the adhesive, and then remove the Chippie. The Adhesive Sheet is a thin adhesive and will give edge-to-edge coverage to the Chippie. Any extra adhesive that’s between the letters simply rubs off with your finger.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Adhesive Sheets

Remove the yellow liner from the Adhesive Sheet and use it as a mask to cover the letters by leaving one letter at a time visible.

Take the gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet in Celebrate Colors pack and place it on the “M” with the pretty side of the foil up so you can see it. Give it a good rub to transfer the color and peel off the carrier sheet.

Now move the yellow sheet to reveal the next letter but still keep the rest of the letters covered and apply the green Foil from the same pack. Keep alternating between the two colors of Foil until all of the letters are done.

Distress the Sentiment

I wanted to give the “Merry” an aged look, so I rubbed it with Golden Glitz Delicata Pigment Ink by rubbing the pad directly on the word. It was then covered with clear embossing powder and heat embossed.

Here’s a closer look at the completed word. In person, it’s super sparkly and shiny.

Slimline Foil Merry Christmas Card Background

A mini slimline cover plate was die-cut from white cardstock and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ was used around the border of the cover plate piece.

The cover plate was placed on the same size sheet of decorative paper.

Card Assembly

Pop up the “Merry” Chippie on the center of the panel using 3D Foam Circles. Place the stamped and heat embossed “Christmas” sentiment below and off the right side of “Merry” with the 3D Foam Circles.

Lift the word up by applying 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the back. I used enough 3D Foam Circles to ensure no sagging of the word once mounted to the card. Attach the panel to a green card with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in

Halloween Treat Bags

Posted on September 29, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! Here it is at the end of September already! Next comes October and that brings Halloween. With that in mind, I put together an easy-to-assemble Halloween Treat Bag! The basic treat bag is easy to make with #8 tags. You can decorate with stamping as I did or go in your own direction.

Halloween Treat Bags by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Treat Bag Base

The basic components to make Halloween Treat Bag are two #8 white tags and two 2 x 2.25-inch pieces of white cardstock.

Designer Tip: Two 3.125 x 6.25 inches pieces of white cardstock can be used in place of tags. Simply punch a hole at the top and cut corners as desired.

Score 1.5 inches from the bottom on each tag and score 0.5 inches from each edge of the longer side of both cardstock pieces

Stamping and Spraying on Tags

On one tag, stamp web with Versamark ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. This will be in front of the Halloween Treat Bag.

The photo below shows the process. The first tag shows it’s stamped with web, The second one shows it’s sprayed with stains, and the last one is stamped with bats

Spray stamped tag and plain tag plus side pieces with Distress Spray Stains (Villainous Potion, Uncharted Mariner, Wild Honey). Mist lightly with water. Repeat spray stains as desired. Set aside to dry or dry with a heat tool.

When dry, rub over the web with a towel to remove excess ink. Clear embossing on the web acts as a resist to allow the white color of paper to show through.

Use Distress Archival Ink (Black Soot) to stamp bats. I inked only a portion of the bat stamp.

Assemble Halloween Treat Bag

Fold tags and side pieces along the score lines. Apply strips of the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 20’ to the bottom of the back tag below the score line (the one that’s not stamped). Also, apply Crafty Power Tape on scored edges of both side pieces.

Remove the liners from the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 20’ on the tag and attach tags together between score lines.

Remove liners from one end of each side piece. Adhere to one tag along the side and next to the bottom fold as shown in the photo. Remove liners from other ends, fold tags up to form a bag, and press the side piece against the other tag to form a treat bag.

Designer Tip: The following steps can be done before the assembly of the treat bag if you so choose.

Stamping the Greeting and Pumpkin

Stamp greeting with Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Trim to a rectangle around the greeting

Stamp pumpkin with black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Use watercolor crayons to color pumpkin and then blend colors with a water brush. Fussy cut out the pumpkin and use a craft knife to cut out the inside space of the handle.

Secure the Pumpkin and Greeting

Place a large square from 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the pumpkin, remove the liner, and fasten the pumpkin to the Halloween Treat Bag.

Apply a regular size 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back of the greeting, peel liners and attach to the Halloween Treat Bag.

Simply repeat to make as many Halloween Treat Bags as you like! All that’s left is to fill it with treats and share it with someone special!

Butterfly and Lace Transparency Card

Posted on September 26, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you how easy is to make a lovely Butterfly and Lace Transparency Card. To make this, I will feature the E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. It is ideal when you are using transparent card stock like velum.

Butterfly and Lace Transparency Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Transparency Card Steps

I started with a regular card base of 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2 and score it at 4-1/4″. Keep the card open to cut the die-cut panel on both sides of the card, leaving the same distance from each border.

Additionally, I die-cut a piece of Vellum Cardstock of the same size as the card base and made a score line on the center. The idea is to put this transparent piece inside of the card to see through the die-cut window.

To secure the vellum card to the inside of the card base, I used E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive. You only need to secure the lateral borders to create a better flexibility of the transparent layer.

Embellish the card:

To don’t compete with the concept of the card, I decided to embellish and decore it with a few elements. First, I printed one of the butterflies included on the digital stamp set Just Butterflies onto white smooth cardstock. Then, I colored it and fussy cut with scissors.
