Love Paw Scrapbook Layout

Posted on September 24, 2022 by Guest Blogger

Hello friends! It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this layout full of Love Love Love! I love to use a cut file as a starting point when creating a layout! You can add all kinds of fun dimensions and include lots of little embellishments to make it pop! Let me show you my Love Paw Scrapbook Layout process.

Love Paw Cut File

I started by backing the large cut file using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and filling in all of the letters and the adorable dog paw print.

Make It Dimensional

Next, I popped the entire cut file up using my favorite Crafty Foam Tape in White. It has the perfect amount of dimension. For a little extra lift, you can always double up the tape. How awesome that it’s totally customizable!

I created the base by double-matting my background paper. The E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips was clutch as it has a nice strong hold. The cut file now has the perfect place to rest.

Our base is complete and it’s time to add the photo and some cute little die-cut pieces using the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. I included a few adorable flair pieces and this project is complete!

Thanks Leaf Card Tutorial

Posted on September 23, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, all! Do you love all things Fall-related? Teri here to show you how to make a Fall-inspired Thanks Leaf Card!

Thanks Leaf Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This card finds inspiration from the colors of the season, plus it has a Fall leaf on it! Let’s get started!

Create an Inky Background for the Thanks Leaf Card

Begin by applying some lines of permanent dots onto a panel of kraft cardstock. Then blend orange and red inks onto the panel over the adhesive!

Use your fingers to remove the adhesive and you’ll end up with a fun pattern in your ink! Set the panel aside and pull out a second panel of kraft cardstock. Stamp a leafy background stamp on it. Cut the leaf from the background. Lightly apply some ink onto the leaf.

Take your inked panel and stamp the same leafy background onto it. Add a portion of an old book page to the bottom of your panel, and mount the panel onto a card base.

Randomly apply adhesive onto your inked panel where the leaf is. Add thread to the panel.

Apply some adhesive dots onto your inked panel, as well as on your fussy cut leaf. Burnish gold or copper foil onto them.

Mount the leaf onto your card with 3D Foam Squares, covering up where the thread is anchored onto your card.

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Snip off one end with your scissors. Use 3D Foam Squares to adhere the sentiment on your card.

I hope this Thanks Fall Leaf Card inspires you to make a Fall-themed card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Easy Sweet Rush Layout

Posted on September 21, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a bright and fun Easy Sweet Rush Layout to share. This bright and beautiful collection was so much fun to work with. I’ll show you how to create a simple dimensional layout with patterns and embellishments. Here are all of the details on how I created this simple layout.

Easy Sweet Rush Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty

The first steps in creating the easy sweet rush layout was to cut the patterned colour blocks (2.5×4) and crop my photo. Then I matted them all in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. I love to mix bold patterns and colours, and this collection was so much fun to do that with.

Adhere these matted pieces across the middle of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape White. I used 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape White under the matted photo. I love to give different depths to the layout using layers of foam adhesives.

Next I added lots of ephemera embellishments around this easy sweet rush layout using a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

My final touch was to add a little bit of sparkle to this Easy Sweet Rush Layout by adding gold star stickers and gems.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Music To My Ears Scrapbook Page

Posted on September 19, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a Music To My Ears scrapbook page using the 3D Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to create a fun dimensional border at the bottom of the page. Can I just say that I love all the creative possibilities with the Crafty Foam Tape? It is at the top of my list of favorite adhesives!

Music To My Ears Scrapbook Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This fun patterned paper just screams “boy” to me. So grab some cute patterned paper if it speaks to you! Take a 1/2″ off two sides of one 12×12 paper, cut some border strips, out of the coordinating paper, in the collection (about 1″ x 12″) in size, and don’t forget the Crafty Foam Tape 108′.

Assemble the Music Page

1. Cut 4 borders from the pattern paper or use die cuts and using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser ( in the collection) adhere 3 of the borders horizontally at the bottom of the page.
2. Adhere the Crafty Foam Tape to the 4th paper border.
3. Lay it over the top, of the border section, at the bottom of the page.
4. Use the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Dispenser to adhere the photo to the cardstock mat.
5. Add Crafty Foam Tape to the back of the matted photo and adhere over the border section, at the bottom of the page.
6. Add the journal strips using the 3D Foam Strips to the page. Using the 3D Foam Circle White Mix add the music note die cuts randomly to the border section. The top right corner embellishment cluster is adhered with 3D Foam Strips Large.

The stickers I used for the title are from “back in the day”. They had lost the adhesive on the back of each letter. No problem! The Dual Tip Glue Pen worked like a champ!!! To complete the page, acrylic paint was splattered randomly on the front of the page.

Thanks for stopping by and scrapbooking with me.

Vintage Butterfly Card

Posted on September 17, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hello everyone, Yvonne here with a Vintage Butterfly Card. I love vintage-styled cards with romantic colors. The soft salmon color and the bows give a feminine touch to this card.

Vintage Butterfly Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I would love to share how I made the card. Shall we get started?

Making the Card Base

Start by trimming a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size. Then use a distressing tool to alter the edges of the patterned paper. Then add a little brown ink onto the torn edges to make it more vintage looking. Next, adhere the altered card panel onto a salmon card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for affixing.

Then adhere onto a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Creating the Doilies

First die-cut and emboss a circle shape from dull gold cardstock. Then die-cut and emboss a white doily circle shape from white cardstock. Next adhere both die-cuts onto the card base using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Embellishing the Card

First fuzzy cut a butterfly and adhere to the card base using Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin. Next stamp the sentiment upon a piece of white cardstock using a black ink pad. Then cut it to a banner and adhere it to a salmon banner using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere the banner onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

For a finishing touch, I adhered two white satin bows onto the Vintage Butterfly Card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá your card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Hello Thinking of You Card

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Jamie Martin

Hello! Today I am sharing a Hello Thinking of You card to perk someone’s day with a colorful background and a little sparkly accent. I will show you step by step how I achieved this wonderful friendship card!

Hello Thinking of You Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hello Thinking of You Card Background

To make the panel, shades of yellow and pink inks were blended on white cardstock, then attached to a black card using the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser.

Work on the Card Panel

Stamp the flower on watercolor paper and color it with colored pencils. Then die-cut with a rectangle stitched die and layered onto a purple die-cut panel also using the E-Z Runner Grand Dispenser.

Stamp the Hello Thinking of You sentiments on the panel and then pop up it with 3D Foam Circles. I mounted it diagonally on the card.

Sparkly Accents

Butterflies were die-cut from foam from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foils.

Place one of the butterflies in the top right corner. Take the gold foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foils and apply it to the top (color side up) of the butterfly and rubbed to transfer the color. Add a little rhinestone to its body to finish. Add three star shapes from the E-Z Runner Stars to the bottom left of the card. Rub crystal glitter on top and tap off the excess.

My Hello Thinking of You card is done and ready to be sent! Thanks for Visiting!

Happy Fall Leaves Card

Posted on September 13, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Happy Fall everyone! The days are getting cooler where I live, and fall colors are beginning to appear. I love the rich earthy colors of fall! That is my inspiration for this Specimen Fall Leaves Card.

Happy Fall Leaves Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Leaves

Stamp 5 different leaves on mixed media paper using Archival Hickory Smoke ink using stamp position platform. Paint leaves with watercolors. When dry, use stamp positioning platform to stamp leaves again using Archival Ground Espresso ink. Fussy cut out each leaf.

Make Envelope and Insert

Use envelope die and die cutting machine to cut bakery parchment paper. Fold envelope and fasten together with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser, its narrow size works well for this. Also cut fastener circles from red cardstock. Attach them to envelope using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser with string under circle on flap. Stamp on envelope with black ink

Cut insert from off white cardstock using die and die cutting machine. Stamp on it with black ink. Apply small amount of adhesive to back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and tuck into envelope so that it extends out of envelope.

Maker Folder

Cut folder from ivory cardstock using die and die cutting machine. Stamp on tab of folder and add some faint stamped script. Tuck a scrap of ledger paper in folder, apply adhesive inside folder with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and press folder closed.

Stamp Greeting

Die cut label from Kraft cardstock and stamp “Happy Fall” on it with black ink

Card Base

Form 5 x 7 inch card from Balsa cardstock. Randomly stamp assorted leaves along edge with Antique Linen ink. Also rub ink along card edges.

Cut 4.25 x 5.75 inches black cardstock

From red cardstock cut 4.125 x 5.625 inches piece. Use needle tool or push pin to poke holes along edges (I used Tim Holtz ruler which has evenly spaced holes). With fine point black pen, draw faux stitching over holes. Lightly stamp random script with black ink near top and bottom.

Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to fasten red piece to black mat and then fasten both to card.

Assemble Card

Arrange folder and envelope on card and fasten in place using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser

Cut Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix as needed and attach to backs of leaves. Arrange leaves on envelope, remove liners from foam squares and press in place.

Cut 2 pieces of 3D Foam Strips Black and place on back of greeting label. Peel liners from foam strips and attach greeting to card.

Easy Fall Shaker Card

Posted on September 11, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a quick and easy fall shaker card tutorial to share. I wanted to dig into my crafty stash and use up products I have been holding on to for a long time. Here are all of the details.

Easy Fall Shaker Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Search Your Stash

Everyone has a stash of crafty goodies that you’ve been hoarding for one reason or another. I have a little collection of chipboard frames from old collections in a bin, and today I decided to create a shaker card using some of them.

The first step in creating this fall shaker card is to choose the chipboard frames you would like to use. Cut acetate to fit behind the frames, and adhere to the acetate using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

I chose to overlap the frames slightly for this fall shaker card, and I did this by adhering them together using Adhesive Dots Mini.

Cut patterned paper pieces to fit behind each frame. Using 3D Foam Strips, create the walls in back of the frames to contain your shaker bits. Fill the shakers with the sequins mix and add the patterned paper backing to each frame.

Create a simple layered background for the fall shaker card using cardstock and patterned paper. Add the shaker frames to the card front using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. The final touch is to add a few coordinating embellishments and sentiment pieces.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Handmade with Love Shaker Pocket Card

Posted on September 10, 2022 by Guest Blogger

Hello friends! It’s Shannon up on the blog today bringing you this fun & fast little card featuring a shaker pocket. Shaker elements add a lovely touch of movement to our projects. I love to have cards on hand and using up bits & pieces of collections is so rewarding!

Handmade with Love Shaker Pocket Card by Shannon Allor for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Start of the Shaker Pocket Card

I had a scrap of patterned paper that was perfect for my card base. I used a bone folder to create a crisp fold and then I rounded two of the corners on the front of the card. Next, I a chose frame and used the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch to attach a piece of acetate to my shaker window. The little strips are so easy to remove!

Next, it was time to use 3D Foam Strips to create a little well to corral our sequin mix.

I like to wait to take off the little foam strips until I am happy with the number of sequins inside.

A scrap of vellum was perfect to seal the sequins into the cute little shaker frame.

I am smitten with the Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix in White! I used three of them on the back of my sentiment piece. They add the perfect amount of dimension. If you need a little more depth, just double them up!

The E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser was clutch for attaching the shaker frame to my card base. The adhesive stayed hidden behind the vellum!

I detail cut out a few little floral elements and then popped up the center flower on another Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix in White and this project was complete!

Fall Thanks Card with Dimension

Posted on September 9, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here. Today I am sharing a Fall Thanks Card with Dimension. This is inspired by the season with a lot of dimension created by the leaves. See how the 3D Foam Squares not only lift up elements but also make sparkly accents to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside!

Fall Thanks Card

To make this, I used an Inspirational Fall Card Kit which include different type of leaf designs. Start by creating the card base and decorating it with a die cut piece included on the kit. To secure it, I used the regular size of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Card with Dimension

Then I added the small size of the 3D Foam Squares White to the different pieces I selected for my card.

Designer’s Tip: Add 3D Foam Squares toward the center of the elements leaving free space to tuck in or over to arrange other pieces until you get the desired look.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

After arranging all the leaves and the sentiment on the card front, I decided to embellish the card with tiny shiny square accents instead of sequins. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside concept, I used 3D Foam Micro Squares White and Metalic Transfer Foil Sheet Variety Colors.

Simply place your squares on the card panel, remove the liner and place the blue foil (color side UP) over the exposed adhesive. Rub gently with your fingertip to transfer the color. Done! I used the Blue Metallic Transfer Foil to create a sparkly contrast to my Fall Thanks Card. It has dimension and sparkle!
