Floating Strips Thank You Card

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

A Little Birdie Told Me Birthday Dimensional Window Card

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! 

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

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!

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards

Hi, everyone! Metallic Transfer Foil is a such fun way to add a hint of glitz and sparkle to your handmade cards! Teri here to show you how to pair it with a masking technique to create some super sparkly cards!

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This technique is so easy! You just need a few adhesive dispensers, some Metallic Transfer Foil and cardstock!

Prep the Masking Technique and Create the Background

Start by cutting a circle (or some other simple shape) from a piece of paper. This is your mask. Set your mask on a panel of cardstock. Randomly place lines of adhesive across it.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Carefully remove mask from the panel of cardstock. If you are having a difficult time removing it, use a craft knife or your scissors to gently cut and loosen any adhesive holding it down.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Burnish foil onto your adhesive strips until they are completely covered. If you miss a spot, just place the foil on it again and burnish some more onto it. Set your background aside and work on some elements to turn it into a card.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellish Die-Cut Shapes

Die-cut a couple of leaves from white cardstock.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set them on an adhesive sheet and pick up some of the adhesive. Place a die-cut on the non-pretty gray side of the foil and pick up a little bit of the foil. This will result in a distressed look. Flip the foil over with the die-cut on it and apply a little pressure with your fingers to randomly add more foil to the die-cut. The more pressure you add, the darker the foil will be.

Another way to embellish your leaf die-cuts is to simply apply some dots to it. Burnish foil onto to the dots for a unique look.

Use Your Background and Die-cuts to Make a Card

Turn your elements into a card by mounting your masked cardstock panel to glitter paper and then to a card. Add some leaf die-cuts to it.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Decorate the card by applying Adhesive Dots and 3D Foam Shapes onto it and applying foil onto them.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Complete your card by mounting a sentiment strip onto it with a 3D Foam Strip.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Masked Background with Multiple Shapes

You are not limited to masking off just one shape for your card. Try using multiple shapes as I did here.

Masking Technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I created a mask with three different circle sizes for a unique look.

I hope you are inspired to pull your Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets out and try doing this masking technique with them!

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I am sharing a pretty layout created using a favourite old collection of mine. All I had left of this collection were little scraps of beautiful patterns, and embellishments. So here is how I created this layout using scraps.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

A sheet of 12×12 cardstock is the background of the layout using scraps. I used a cardstock circle template as a guide to adhere the puffy sticker titles around the layout.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Paper Weaving Feature

Next, I added strips of patterned paper around the edges of the 12×12 cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

From my scrap pile of beautiful patterned papers, I cut 1/2″ strips. I created a paper weaving base using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add each strip of patterned paper weaving until you have a nice little square of woven patterns. Adhere the ends using the Dual Tip Glue Pen for more stability.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used a slightly smaller cardstock circle template and cut my woven piece into a circle. Adhere this to the middle of the layout using the Dual Tip Glue Pen again.

Friendship Layout with Paper Weaving by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mat the 4×4 photo in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and then adhere to the middle of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Next fill in the empty areas around the title circle border using more of the puffy sticker leftovers. This used the remainder of my collection scraps and embellishments to create this layout using scraps.

An Adventurous Heart Card

Hi, Connie here with a summer-themed An Adventurous Heart Card. I am featuring the Creative Corners White and combining them with some messy ink mixes along with red rubber stamps. I also have a tip to share using the 3D Foam Circle Mix. It is more than meets the eye!

An Adventurous Heart Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Adventurous Heart Card Elements

An Adventurous Heart Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

1. Create a card background using inks. Stamp out focal images, color, and cut out. Stamp out the sentiment and any other element to be added to the card front.
2. Gather adhesives being used to adhere the card together. Add ink (watered down) to two Creative Corners White. Dry with a heat tool. Insert between the card layers.
3. Using the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. adhere the card front to the white cardstock mat. Adhere the sentiment with the 3D Foam Strips White to the card front.
4. Designer’s Tip: Use it all up. Don’t waste any. The negative part from the 3D Foam CircleMix/White is great dimension and can be used on projects too. Adhere the Conch shell with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to the card front and then overlap the round shell using the 3D Foam Circle Mix White.

Lovely Day CAS Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a sweet Lovely Day CAS (Clean And Simple) Card that is really easy to make, which makes it suitable for beginner card makers too!

Lovely Day CAS Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Card Base for a Lovely Day CAS Card

Start by folding a piece of white cardstock to a rectangle card. Then trim a piece of blue cardstock to a card panel that is slightly smaller than the card base. Next, adhere the blue card panel onto the white card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Lovely Day CAS Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making a Frame

First, trim a piece of white cardstock to fit the card base. Make sure that the panel is slightly smaller than the blue card panel. Then die-cut a circle from the white card panel to create a circle frame. Now make a grass border. To make the border, I used some green cardstock and a punch. If you don’t have such a punch, you can also die-cut or fussy cut the grass border. Now adhere the grass border onto the blue card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to adhere it.

Lovely Day CAS Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make sure that the grass is located so it shows within the die-cut circle frame. Then adhere 3D Foam Strips to the back of the frame card panel. Next, remove the back liner and adhere to the card base. You’ve just created a dimensional frame for your Lovely Day CAS Card!

Lovely Day CAS Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making Layers

First stamp the dog and its ball onto white cardstock using black ink and then color the image. Next fussy cut the images. Adhere both into the frame using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This way you create extra depth on your card since the frame is adhered with the slightly thicker 3D Foam Strips.  Now stamp the sentiment onto a white banner using black ink and then adhere it onto a blue banner using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. For a subtle uplifting effect, adhere the banner onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Lovely Day CAS Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And voilá, your Lovely Day CAS Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Mixed Media Strips Cards

Hi, Judy here today! These three cards are made with mixed media strips made with painted paper and Adhesives Sheets 6 x 12in. The patterns are one of a kind and nice to have on hand for quick cards. As shown in the photo below, I painted three different papers and used one for these cards.

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Painted Paper Strips

Cut white drawing paper or card stock to 6 x 12 inches. Use a credit card to apply thin layers of assorted colors of Distress paint to completely cover the paper. Allow to dry.

Next, use mini stencils with black and white paints to add patterns randomly over the entire sheet. Add squiggle lines with stamp and black ink. Allow to dry or speed dry with a heat tool. Note that I applied all stenciling without allowing dry time between colors which lets the colors blend somewhat.

Designer’s Tip: To avoid shifting the stencil when applying any time of media, try the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply Adhesives Sheets 6 x 12in. to the back of the painted paper and rub well with a bone folder to secure the adhesive.

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut paper into various sizes of strips. I cut to the following: 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and 1.50 inches in width. Look at each card assembly below for length measurements.

Sentiment Strips

Use black ink to stamp greetings on white cardstock. Then with its coordinating die, cut greeting strips. Choose which sentiments to use and leave the rest for another project

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Cards

For card bases, cut three pieces of white cardstock to 5.375 x 7.50 inches and fold them in half to make three 3.75 x 5.375-inch cards.

Card 1 (Best Wishes):

This one is a really simple design, simply cut the 1.50-inch painted strip to 5.375 inches long. Then peel the backing from the Adhesive Sheet on the back, and attach it across the card front. Place it about 0.25 inches from the cut edge of the card. Press well to secure.

Card 2 (Happy Birthday):

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut painted strips to the following length sizes:

  • 0.50-inch strip cut to 4.75 inches long
  • 1.50-inch strip cut to 4 inches long
  • 0.75-inch strip cut to 3.25 inches long

Peel the liner off from the 0.50-inch strip and secure it about 0.25 inches from the open edge of the card and end even with the card top. Designer’s Tip: A quilting ruler is very helpful for straight alignment.

Remove the liner from the 1.50-inch strip, position it about 0.125 inches from the first strip with the top edge even with the card top, and press in place. Repeat with the 0.75-inch strip.

Card 3 (You’re Amazing):

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the following length for the painted strips:

  • For the 1.00-inch strip, cut to 3.75 inches long (width of card)
  • 0.75-inch strip cut 3.25 inches long
  • 0.50-inch strip cut 2.75 inches long

Peel the liner off from the 1.00-inch strip and align 0.75 inches from the bottom of the card, and press in place. With the 0.75-inch strip, remove the liner and position one edge flush with the open edge of the card, about 0.25 inches above the other strip, and press in place. Repeat with the 0.50-inch strip.

Finish with Greeting Strips

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Attach small squares from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of each greeting strip, peel the liners, and secure each greeting to the following cards: Card 1- Best Wishes, Card 2 – Happy Birthday, and Card 3 – You’re Amazing.

Mixed Media Strips Cards by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

15-Minute Birthday Cards

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a tutorial to share on how to create not 1, but 2 super cute cards in my 15-Minute Birthday Cards. Here are all of the details on how I created this pair of birthday cards.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started!

The first step is to cut the patterned paper pieces for the simple card fronts for both of the 15-Minute Birthday Cards. The card bases are white cardstock.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhere the patterned bases to the white cardstock card bases using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the second layer of patterned paper to the 15 Minute Cards using Creative Photo Corners White. Using Creative Photo Corners White on cards just seems to add that little bit of texture and a classy look.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

How freaking cute are these Doodlebug Designs embellishments for this Doggone Cute collection. They are self-adhesive, so I simply added the Doodle-Pop and the Shaker-Pop to the card fronts.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pick out a sentiment for each 15-Minute Card, and add that to the bottom of the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Then I added a burlap string to the tag sentiment.

15-Minute Birthday Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I just adore how easy and cute this pair of 15-Minute Cards turned out, and there are so many sweet options in the Doodlebug collections to create these sweet and simple cards.

Clean and Simple Friendship Card

Hi there, Martha Lucia here! Today I want to share a Clean and Simple Friendship Card. I love this style of card but always wanted to add a special detail to make it unique. Well, on today’s card, that special detail is created with the 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Clean and Simple Friendship Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Clean and Simple Friendship Card Base

When I created Clean and Simple (CAS) cards, I prefer to use white cardstock. This Friendship card is no exception. I started making the card base and stamped the sentiment in the center. Then, I die-cut a card panel a little small than the base. Additionally, I die-cut a circle on the center of this panel as the window and to showcase the sentiment. I placed it over the stamped card base with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Clean and Simple Friendship Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellishing the Card

To add more interest to the card, I added some 3D Foam Circles around to the window. My original idea was to foil them with our Metallic Transfer Foils but changed my mind.

Clean and Simple Friendship Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I elected to use the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. It is so fun to do and easy! I decided to cover the foam circles with two different colors of fine glitter.

Clean and Simple Friendship Card by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the embellishments of this Clear and Simple Friendship Card, the process was simple. Just peel off the top liner from one of the 3D Foam Circles and then cover them with the glitter. Softly brush the excess glitter and voila, the embellishment is ready.
