All Occasion Mixed Media Card

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Here’s an all-occasion card with an easy-to-do mixed media background. Make multiple backgrounds ahead to have ready to add an appropriate verse when an occasion arises. A quick and easy way to add a bit of interest to the background is to randomly place Thin 3D Foam Squares on it, cover it with clear embossing powder and heat emboss.

All Occasion Mixed Media Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Mixed Media Background

Cut a piece of white cardstock about 8.5 inches square. This will make 2 background pieces.

Apply adhesive dots with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser in a grid pattern over part of the paper.

Spray Distress Oxide Sprays Villainous Potion and Saltwater Taffy over the paper, then mist with water. Allow to dry or dry with a heat gun and repeat until the desired color is achieved.

Once dry, rub repositionable adhesive dots off the paper.

Sponge on Distress Uncharted Mariner in various random spots, mist with water and rub to spread the color. Repeat as desired.

Assemble Card Base

Form card from 8.5 x 8.5-inch piece of white cardstock folded to 4.25 x 8.5 inches. Trim inked mixed media paper to 3.75 x 8 inches. Cut black cardstock 3.875 x 8.25 inches.

Fasten background piece to black cardstock using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser at corners and E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser along edges. The Ultra adhesive will hold corners securely which is especially good if the paper has curled from wet media. Use same adhesives to fasten the matted mixed media piece to the front of the card.

Stamp Verse

Stamp verse with black ink on white cardstock, cover with clear embossing powder and heat emboss. Trim around the verse. (Designer Tip – Stamp multiple verses to have on hand and apply to the card as needed.) Cut narrow black mat for verse.

Apply adhesive to the back of the verse with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten it to the black mat.

Add Thin 3D Foam Squares

Lay the verse in place on the card front as desired but don’t fasten. Randomly place small Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix across card above and below verse. Set verse aside

Peel liners from Thin 3D Foam Squares, cover with clear embossing powder and heat emboss with heat gun.

Fasten Verse

Place a small Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the verse, peel liners, and fasten the verse to card front.

Foiled Heart Birthday Card

Posted on July 11, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing an easy-to-create Foiled Heart Birthday Card. Learn how easy it is to add some foiled pizazz to any creation. Here are all of the details.

Foiled Heart Birthday Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

The first step is to cut your cardstock layers and gather and fussy cut the patterned and sentiment pieces. I wanted my Foiled Birthday Card to be bright, bold, and happy. Cut the white cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inch, the yellow cardstock to 4 x 5.25-inch, and the white cardstock base is a classic A2 size (4.25 x 5.5-inch).

Next step is to simply adhere the cardstock layers to the white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

I chose to place my little fussy cut rainbow and the Happy Birthday sentiment first on the Foiled Birthday Card. This will give me a guide as to where I want to place my hearts. Use 3D Foam Squares White Small Size to give a little bit of dimension to the card.

Randomly add the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser one by one to the card front framing the rainbow and sentiment. Sorry, it’s a little hard to see in my photo.

Choose the color of foil that speaks to you, I chose red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Add it to the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser by facing the color side UP and over the heart shape adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Foiled Rainbow Butterfly Card Tutorial

Posted on July 9, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share an easy foiled rainbow butterfly card tutorial with lots of shine and dimensions. I love to use die cuts and add interest by applying Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets – Pastel Colors to make unique butterfly die-cuts. For dimension, I used Crafty Foam Tape White to lift my elements.

Foiled Rainbow Butterfly Card Tutorial by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Rainbow Foiled Butterfly Card Base

The base of my easy rainbow card is basic black cardstock. I decorated it with a Plaid Card Front Thin Die. I die cut the cover plate onto white smooth cardstock and adhered it directly over the card base with Dual Tip Glue Pen. This is a fabulous liquid glue that dries clear and is very easy to manipulate.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

To make the rainbow foiled butterflies, apply the Adhesive Sheets on the front of a piece of white smooth cardstock, keeping in mind the size of the die cuts.

Die-cut two butterflies, making sure to cut the liner side of the white cardstock so that the front is covered with adhesives.

Partially remove the top liner and starting from the bottom, apply a piece of purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors (color side UP) and rub gently with a fingertip to transfer the color. Peel off the foil. Reapply the foil in missed areas.

Next, add the second color (I used the yellow foil in the same Pastel set) to the middle section of the butterfly by repeating the foiling process.

Then continue with the third color (the blue foil) to the top section by removing the rest of the liner. Done! No special tools are needed.

For the second butterfly, I only used two colors (the blue and purple foils) for it. Simply repeat these foiling steps to finish creating it.

Sentiment Strips and Butterfly Shadows

Add more elements such as butterfly layers and sentiment. First, I die-cut a small sentiment onto cardstock. Additionally, I die cut again the same two butterflies to use them, behind the foiled rainbow butterflies.

Taking this opportunity, I selected the Crafty Foam Tape White to secure the die cuts in between. Since the solid areas of the butterflies and the parts of the sentiment are very small, I can better control the size of what I want by cutting to it fit the space, and add dimension all at the same time!

Assemble the Foiled Rainbow Butterfly Card

I placed the butterflies and sentiment over the card base with Crafty Foam Tape White. As a final touch, I added two Creative Photo Corners in Gold on the lower corners of the card base for a little more contrast.

I hope you enjoyed the process of this easy rainbow foiled butterfly card tutorial. Maybe this inspired you to try different products and create your own designs!

Faux Embossed Cards with Flock

Posted on July 7, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Love the look of dry-embossing? Teri here with a fun twist on the technique. I’m here today to show you how to create faux embossed cards with flock and 3D Foam Shapes! The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique is so easy to pull off and looks so cool on completed cards.

Faux Embossed Cards with Flock by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create Background with Foam and Flock

Start by cutting a couple of panels of cardstock to go on a couple of cards. You want to use cardstock that is the same color as the flock you plan to use. Also, you can just make one panel at a time if you wish. I find I like to make a couple of panels at a time when trying out this technique because of the steps involved.

Randomly apply foam shapes onto your paper panels. Remove the backing release paper and apply flock onto them.

Tap off the excess flock. Use wax paper to burnish the flock onto the shapes. The leftover backing paper from the 3D Foam Shapes works for this too!

Mount your panels onto cardstock and then to A2 cards. Set them aside.

Make Sentiments and Completed Cards

Cut several strips of cardstock to fit across your cards. Affix them together and add a sentiment strip on top of each one.

Flip your paper strips over. Apply adhesive onto them. Randomly add some thread or floss to the back of them.

Mount your sentiment strips to your cards. Look for openings on your card panels and add additional foam pieces to hold them onto the cards.

Complete your cards by adding sequins, gems, or some other embellishments to them.

Words about the Faux Embossed Technique

Don’t have any flock to work with to pull off this faux embossed look? You can achieve similar results with glitter and foil. Just remember to use the same color of cardstock as the glitter or foil you use.

And remember to have fun when trying this technique! There are all kinds of 3D Foam Shapes you can use to make faux embossed backgrounds with it.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you’ll give this technique a try!

Happy creating!

Dimensional Camera Card

Posted on July 5, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a dimensional camera card. This is a card that will make any special friend smile. And the great thing…it is super easy to make!

Dimensional Camera Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

On this card, I also used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Wanna join me in creating the card? Let’s go!

The Dimensional Camera Card Base

Start by making the card base. Trim a piece of burgundy cardstock to a rectangular size and adhere to a black card panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing the Top Card Panel

Fussy cut the cameras from the patterned paper as well as the quote. Die-cut and emboss a rectangular scalloped shape from a mustard color gold cardstock. Pop up the quote onto the scalloped panel with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and then onto the card front using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Secure all the fussy cut cameras onto the card front with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Tuck some of the cameras slightly behind the scalloped panel. By using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, you create a lovely dimensional effect.

To embellish the dimensional camera card, place a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro, Adhesive Dots Mini and Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin onto the lens of the cameras. I used different sizes of adhesive dots to correspond with each of the camera lens sizes. BUT some I did not and you will see why later. 🙂

Remove the top liners and adhere rhinestones to the Adhesive Dots. As you can see in the picture, some of the adhesive dots are bigger than the rhinestones. This is where I do something unique to embellish them. 🙂

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

After the rhinestones are adhered, I sprinkled red glitter over the ones that have Adhesive Dots exposed. Just tap off the excess glitter and I’ve created a lovely glittered circle framed around the rhinestones. A little something extra and add a unique touch.

The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique brings the adhesive from being in between layers of material to the top as unique embellishments to any project! This will help expand your ways to use adhesives.

I used this technique to add interest to the card front background with Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Mini. Randomly place the adhesive dots on the card front, sprinkle holographic glitter on top, and rub the glitter to secure. Then tap off any excess glitter.

And voilá your dimensional camera card is ready to make a friend very special!

Thanks for joining me in making this card. Wishing you happy crafting!

Hello Foil Sentiment

To make the words, apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheet 4″ x 6″ on the top of a white cardstock panel. Next, place the Hello die on top of the cardstock and die-cut three times.

Peel off the top liner from the HELLO words and place a piece of yellow foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Pastel COLOR SIDE UP over the exposed adhesive side. With your fingertip, gently rub to transfer the color to the HELLO word.

Repeat the same foiling steps with the other HELLO words in pink and blue foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Pastel.

Hello Foil Card Base

With a mini slimline die, die-cut a piece of decorative paper and use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to mat to a slightly larger white panel. Then onto a pink card base.

Happy 4th Patriotic Stars Tag

Posted on June 29, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! It’s almost time to celebrate the 4th of July! To me, that means stars along with red, white, and blue. Try 3D Foam Stars and bright red foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors together to make this Happy 4th Patriotic Stars Tag! I like to set a tag like this on a mantle or shelf as decor.

Happy 4th Patriotic Stars Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tag Base

Start with a #10 white tag and a slightly larger piece of star patterned paper. Apply a piece of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12-inch to the tag front. Simply lift the liner and place the tag facing down onto the exposed adhesive. Cover with the liner and rub well to transfer the adhesive to the tag front. Place the tag adhesive side down to the back side of the star patterned paper.
Flip the tag on its back and trim off excess paper around the edges. Punch a hole at the top.

Blue Pennant

To create your pennant, cut a piece of blue patterned paper the same width as the tag and 7.5 inches long. Starting about 2 inches from the top, make a diagonal cut to the center of the opposite end.

Use the remainder of the Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12-inch and apply the adhesive to the back of the pennant. Adhere to the tag so the point is about .5 inches from the bottom.

Star Border

With a piece of 1.75 x 4.125-inch red patterned paper, roll the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser along each long edge of the paper.
Place a piece of red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors over adhesive (COLOR side UP) and rub well to transfer the foil. Peel away the foil sheet. Reapply the foil in missed areas. Trim edges if needed so that the foil pattern is at the very edge.

Cut a piece of stripe patterned paper, making sure the pattern runs lengthwise. Each long edge has a border of navy and white stripes (about 1.125 wide x 4.125 inches). Using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, secure to the center of foiled red paper.

Cut a strip of the 5 stars patterned paper, and place a small foam star from the 3D Foam Stars sheet over each star of the strip.
Peel the top liner from a star, cover with red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (COLOR side UP), and rub the foil well. Peel the foil off. Repeat the foiling steps until all the stars are foiled.

Add a piece of Crafty Foam Tape 108ft to the back of the star strip. Peel the liner off and attach the star border over the striped piece.
Then on the back of the layered border, a piece of Crafty Foam Tape 108ft along each of the long edges. Peel the liners off and adhere to the top of the tag

Bottom Border

Cut a piece of 0.5 x 4.125-inch red paper. Use the same process as the Star Border steps 1 & 2 to create the bottom border with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

This time cut a narrow strip of 0.25 x 4.125-inch navy and white stripe paper. Secure the strip with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and secure it along the unfoiled edge of the red paper.

Lastly, adhere the strip to the bottom of the tag with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Peel off the pennant tip, if needed, to place the border.

The Focal Star Design

From the 3D Foam Stars sheet, carefully pull up the points of the two largest stars together.
Place them on the tag about 0.5 inches below the foiled star border. Use a ruler to align it in the center.

Next, find a medium foam star (they are usually nested with another star in a corner of the 3D Foam Stars sheet). Place it in the center of the large star on the tag.

Foil the large star first. Peel back the liners from one of the points to expose the adhesive. Place the red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (COLOR side UP) and rub well with your fingertips. Peel off the foil to reveal the color. Reapply foil in missed areas. Repeat the foiling steps with the center star.

Stamp and Add Word Sentiment

Stamp the words with Archival Night ink and clear heat emboss. Use a coordinating die, cut the words into strips. Apply adhesive using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the strips and mat them with navy patterned paper. Repeat for all the words.
Attach each word strip with the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. This tape has a lower height range than our regular Crafty Foam Tape so there’s less bulk. It’s perfect for dimensional cards going through the mail!

If needed, use a ruler to align and center the “Happy 4th of July” strip at the bottom edge of the tag and above the large star.
For the bottom of the tag and at the tip of the pennant, use the ruler to position the “Celebrate” and Independence Day” strips. Peel the liners off and fasten them in place.

Add Ribbons

Gather together red, white, and navy ribbons, along with white string. Thread through the hole and tie a knot at top of the tag.

I hope you enjoyed my process on this Happy 4th Patriotic Stars Tag. Have a great 4th of July!

Quick and Easy 5 Minute Card

Posted on June 28, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! I think we’ve all been there, you are headed out to an event and realize you didn’t make a card. Today I am sharing a quick and easy solution, the 5 Minute Card. Here are all of the details.

Quick and Easy 5 Minute Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

The easiest way to create an Easy 5 Minute Card, is to keep it clean, simple but striking. I chose to go with white, black, and gold. Cut the cardstock and handmade paper layers for the card. Start by taking the black cardstock card front and adding the Thickers sticker sentiment to the bottom. Now, I began adding the stars trickling down from the top of the card using the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser.

Once satisfied with the number of stars on the Easy 5 Minute Card, rub the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets – Pastel Colors over top of the stars (COLOR side UP). I chose the Pastel Yellow from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets – Pastel Colors, as it most closely matched the puffy sticker.

To adhere the layers of the Easy 5 Minute Card together I chose the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Although hard to see in my photos, I used a layer of handmade paper between the black cardstock and the white cardstock card base. It has flecks of gold and silver, and it just had that special bit of texture for this Easy 5 Minute Card. When adhering any textured paper, I turn to my E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. That’s it! There is your Easy 5 Minute Card.

Easy Slimline Card with Dimension

Posted on June 26, 2022 by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hello there, Martha Lucia here to share an easy slimline card with dimensions featuring the 3D Foam Circle Frames White. To embellish the card, I’ve added some elements from the Sunkissed Collector’s Essential Kit by Simple Stories.

Easy Slimline Card with Dimension by Martha Lucia Gomez for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, I created the card base with pink cardstock. The size of my slimline cards is 8-1/2″x3-1/2″ closed. Then, I added a second layer created with designer paper from the Sunkissed Collection. To adhere the layer, I used the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

With the same color of cardstock, I die cut the third large size of the Delighted Lace Rectangle Slimline Die. In addition, I created a rainbow cutting in a half sheet of the 3D Foam Circle Frames White.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

To embellish the rainbow, I used three different colors of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors: Yellow, Blue and Green. Remove the top liners of the circles and pressed the foil (color side UP) over the adhesive to transfer the color. Easy, simple, and fun!

Using the large size of 3D Foam Squares White Mix, I adhered the foiled layer over the decorated card base. I love this package of adhesive because it includes two different sizes that are perfect to add dimension to small and large pieces.

But my project is not ready yet! I continue the embellished process using a Chipboard Sticker from the same Simple Stories Collection Kit. To add it, I used the Adhesive Dots Medium. They are strong and flexible at the same time to let me play around with the free area of the decorative layer.

As a final touch, a few Journal Bits were included on top of the decorative layer. These are thin pieces and you can enhance them, by just adding more dimension. For it, I used the small size of 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Final Touches

Additionally, for a distressed look, I used scraps of the foil. It was the easy part because I only add a few touches of E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots over the decorated card to change totally my look.
