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!

Hey Ghoul Friend Pumpkin Card

Posted on September 7, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you love Halloween? Teri here with a cute card you can make to send to your best ghoul friend in honor of the big day!

Hey Ghoul Friend Pumpkin Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Pumpkin or Two

Start your pumpkins with two rectangle-shaped patterned paper pieces as the pumpkin base. Then add strips of patterned paper and felt to each of the rectangle bases with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Don’t have felt? Try ribbon and washi tape.

Place a 3D Foam Frame on top of the paper panel and cut around the outer edges of the frame with scissors. Remove the top liner and cover it with flock. Tap off the excess and now you have a textured frame!

Create the Pumpkin Stem

Take a couple of 3D Foam Squares and cut off the sides at an angle to make a stem. Pull out and cut a small piece of the green foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foils in Pastel Colors. Peel off the top liner of the cut foam square, place the foil (color side UP), rub gently to transfer the color, and peel off the foil to reveal. Missed a spot? No problem, simply reapply with the foil.

Decorate the card base with patterned paper. Add your pumpkin or pumpkins to it. Give your pumpkin personality by adding wiggle eyes, a mouth, and bows tied from twine.

Finishing Up Your Card

Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Mount it to your card with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Complete your card by adding a few stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser onto it. Burnish flock, glitter or foil onto the stars for a fun accent.

Happy creating!

Jeweled Friend Card

Posted on September 5, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Jeweled Friend Card. Adding jewel stones to a card makes a card so much extra fun doesn’t it? Liquid glue often dissolves the backing foil of the jewel stones. Solving this problem is super easy: use Adhesives Dots!

Jeweled Friend Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wanna join me in making the card?

The Jewel Friend Card Background

Start by adding some green color to the white top card panel. Next use a soft green inkpad and an ink blending tool to create a green banner horizontally over the top card panel. Now stamp upon the two rows.

Adding the Jewel Embellishments

Create a dazzling effect on the Jeweled Friend card adhere lots of square jewel rhinestones to the card. Simply the stones by using Adhesive Dots Micro, Adhesive Dots Mini and Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin.

As mentioned earlier, liquid glue often dissolves the foil backing of the rhinestones and they leave ugly spots. When using Adhesive Dots, you will not have this problem! Simply place the dots on the back, remove the liner and adhere them to the card panel.

Designer’s Tip: I like to use tweezers for precise placement of the rhinestones.

Create the Card Base

Mat the embellished card panel onto a blue card layer with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere the layered panel to a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing the Jeweled Friend Card

As a finishing touch, I secured a Hello Friend sticker onto a blue banner. Lastly, adhere the banner onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá, your Jeweled Friend Card is ready. Hmm…I liked the card so much I decided to keep it myself and put it on display in my craft room! LOL!

Wishing you happy crafting!

Hey Dude Scrapbook Page

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a Hey Dude scrapbook page using the 3D Foam Strips for a unique journal technique. The fun patterned paper is by Bella Blvd. I love using the 3D Foam adhesives on my scrapbook pages. The pop of dimension, gives the page, an added element of interest.

Hey Dude Scrapbook Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s gather supplies and get started! You will need two sheets of pattern paper. Keep one 12×12 and the other sheet at 6×12. Grab your 3D Foam adhesive, a border stamp set, photo, and computer-printed journal strips.

Assemble the Hey Dude Page

1. Trim the second sheet of pattern paper to 6×12 and adhere it vertically to the 12×12 base sheet with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips. Using the border stamp set, stamp each end with a border. I used a plain sewing machine stitch.
2. Use the E-Z Runner Grand Dots Repositionable Dispenser to adhere the photo to the cardstock mat. The repositionable dot adhesive was used because you can always fix and straighten items. It happens!
3. Fun round die cuts were secured with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
4. Remaining die cuts were adhered with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the 3D Foam Strips Small.

With a combination of the Dual Tip Glue Pen and the 3D Foam Strips, the journal spot was secured. Alternating the two different adhesives will give you a fun dimensional read.

Title Prep

1. The stickers, that with this paper collection, were grey so I inked them with black Archival ink so that they would coordinate with the other words used to create the title.
2. I used the 3D Foam Strips to adhere them to the scrapbook page. Completing the page with a splat of black acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by and scrapping this Hey Dude page with me. It feels good to be scrapbooking!

Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Information

Posted on August 30, 2022 by Margie Admin

Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets add colorful shine and metallic luster to cards, scrapbooks, DIY, and mixed media projects. Each package contains five different colors. There are two sizes to choose from 6 x 12-inch and 6 x 6-inch.

It’s quick and easy to apply using our Adhesives with no extra tools, gel, powders, or heat required. To create custom foiled designs use them on Adhesive Sheets, 3D Foam Creative Sheets, 3D Foam Designer Shapes, E-Z Runners, Crafty Power Tapes (our tear tapes), Mounting Squares, and more.

How to Apply the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

To apply foil, place foil color side UP on top of the exposed adhesive surface, gently rub with a fingertip, and peel away to reveal the foiled element. If there is a missed area, no problem, simply reapply the foil. It’s that easy. Get the kids involved! Designer’s Tip: cut a small piece of the foil for easy application.

Thankful Card with Foil

Posted on August 29, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Here it is at the end of August already! For me, that brings thoughts of fall with its beautiful colors, especially leaves. That is my inspiration for this Thankful Card with foil leaves. It’s so easy to add foils to make the 3D Foam Leaves on this card!

Thankful Card with Foil by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Thankful Band

From black cardstock, die-cut letters for the word “THANKFUL.” Some of the letters are still in dies in this photo. Apply Adhesive Sheets to the back of a 0.75 x 7 inches piece of tan cardstock. I like to cut my strips longer than needed and trim them later.

Use E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive at each end near the edge of a tan strip. Place a clear ruler along the long edge 0.25 inch from the edge and press it onto the adhesive to hold the ruler in place. Place eight Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix evenly spaced along the ruler edge.

Remove liner from one Thin 3D Foam Squares and place die-cut letter on it. Continue to place a letter on each Thin 3D Foam Square to spell “THANKFUL”. Place brown foil sheet from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors over letters and rub well to transfer foil to Thin 3D Foam Squares. Repeat to cover all squares. Optional: Heat slightly with a heating gun to dull the color slightly.

Trim a tan strip to 6 inches long. Cut black cardstock 1 x 6 inches. Adhere the Thankful band to the black band using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Card Base

Cut tan cardstock 8.5 x 6 inches and fold to form a 4.25 x 6 inch card. From black cardstock, cut a 1 x 6 inch strip and from wood grain paper cut a piece 4.125 x 6 inches. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to secure the black strip along the bottom of the card and then fasten wood grain paper at top of card lapping over the black strip.

Make Foil Leaves

On a sheet of 3D Foam Leaves, remove the liner from the small leaf and cover with bronze foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Rub foil well to transfer to leaf (color side up) and then remove foil. Repeat with brown foil on the oak leaf and copper foil on the maple leaf. Peel each leaf from the carrier sheet and apply foil to the backside. Heat leaves slightly with heat gun and shape while warm. Optional: Draw leaf veins with a black fine marker.

Assemble Card

Apply adhesive to the back of the “THANKFUL” band using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to the card front.

Thread twine through button holes and tie a bow. Apply small Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back, peel the liners and fasten on the card.

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the leaves, peel the liners and attach leaves around the button with stems tucked under the button.
