One sheet of white cardstock will make 3 cards, I did four 🙂 These are great to keep on hand for gift bag cards.
Friendship Mini Card Fronts
1. Use the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere the white cardstock to the stamping platform. It will hold the paper in place while stamping the image. 2. Trim the image into four 3 x 3″ sections. These will be the card fronts for the card set. Add color using distress oxide inks. 3. Add a Creative Photo Corner/Black to one corner of each mini card front. 4. Using Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to secure the mini card front on a 3 x 6″ piece of white cardstock.
Finishing touches
1. After the mini card front is adhered to the white cardstock, score right above the raised edge. This will make a 3 x 3″ mini card. 2. Adhere the card front to coordinating cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. 3. Add the sentiment strips with the 3D Foam Strips to the mini card front. 4. Using the Adhesive Dots Large, secure the buttons to the card front.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy making these. Connie
Hi everyone, Yvonne here. Today I am sharing a dimensional Botanical Home Card that is fairly easy to make, it’s also suitable for beginner cardmakers. This card is all bout layering and adding dimension. I would love to share how I made my card. Wanna join me?
Botanical Home Card Background
To create a background for the Botanical Home Card, I stamped dotted lines onto a piece of soft grey cardstock using light grey ink. Then stamp horizontal lines on top using dark grey ink.
Creating a Scenery
First I fussy cut out a window from patterned cardstock using scissors and a craft knife. Adhere to the stamped card panel using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
This is the base for decorating the Botanical Home Card. Next, cut botanical elements from patterned cardstock and adhere them to the window frame using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. By using various thicknesses, you add extra depth to the card. Then tuck a twig behind the adhered elements. Trim the top card panel to the desired size.
For the finishing touch, stamp the sentiment and a word onto white cardstock with black ink. Secure on the Botanical Home Card with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Voilá! the Botanical Card is ready. It’s so easy to create a beautiful card!
Hi, Judy here today! I’ve put together a Cute Kitty Tag Card with papers, a dimensional sticker from Doodlebug Design, and assembled with Scrapbook Adhesives products. It’s so easy that it is purrfect for a beginner card maker!
Layers for the Kitty Tag Card
First, cut a piece of 6.5 x 9-inch white cardstock, and score in half to fold into a 4.5 x 6.5-inch side fold card base.
Cut a 4.375 x 6.375-inch piece from the brown with dots, and hearts patterned paper.
From a piece of white cardstock, cut it to a 3 x 5-inch layer.
Use the pink hearts patterned paper, and cut a piece to 2.875 x 4.875 inches.
Take a piece of plaid patterned paper and cut it to 2.375 x 4.375 inches.
Attach the pink hearts patterned paper to the white cardstock layer using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. With the same adhesive, adhere the plaid patterned paper on top of that matted layer, and then place the layered panel to the card front.
Creat the Cute Kitty Tag
Fussy cut a tag from a patterned paper from the collection. Use it as a guide to cut another tag shape from a scrap of white cardstock. Trim off the sentiment. Apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the back of the top portion of the tag and attach it to the white tag.
Cut a piece of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. to fit the greeting, fasten it to the back, peel the liner, and place it on the tag over the space where the greeting was cut from the tag.
Place the Doodle-Pops cardstock sticker over the image on the tag and press firmly to secure.
Cut six strands of baker’s twine, and thread them through the hole in the tag. Gather twine together near the tag and tie another piece of twine around the twine, knot, and tie a bow. Trim twine ends.
Attach the Tag to the Card
Cut pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. to fit the back of the tag and press in place. Peel liners from the foam tape and fasten the tag on the card.
Peel hearts that came with the Doodle-Pops sticker and press them in place with the greeting. Done!
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little Hello Slimline Shaker Card to share. Here are all of the crafty details.
Building the Hello Slimline Card Front
After creating some layouts with this collection, I was left with a few pretty bits and pieces and decided to create a Hello Slimline Shaker Card with those leftovers. These three mini frames inspired me to use them as a focal point. Cut acetate pieces and grey cardstock pieces to fit behind each. Using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in, adhere the acetate to the back of each frame.
Create the Hello Slimline Shaker Card base from 8.5×7 white cardstock and fold it in half. Cut a piece of 8.25×3.25 patterned paper and adhere it to the card front using the Double-Sided Tape Runner Petite Dots Permanent.
Add 3D Foam Strips around the window of each mini frame. This is when you can choose and add your shaker bits. Next, attach the grey cardstock shaker bases, and secure your shakers for the Hello Slimline Shaker Card.
I decided to add another strip of patterned paper to the bottom of the card front. Then attach the shaker frames to the card with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
The final touch was to add a couple of die-cuts. The sentiment and the butterfly piece were added to the Slimline Shaker Card using Thin 3D Foam Strips Black Mix.
Hi, Erica here today! I am so excited to share my first project for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L design team member! Today I have a Season of Happiness Scrapbook Layout to share with you.
Working on the Cut File for the Season of Happiness Scrapbook Layout
I started by backing the cut file with 6×6 holiday-themed patterned papers. This process does take some time but the result is so worth it! It’s great that I can showcase so many different colors and patterns on one layout. To adhere the patterned papers to the cut file, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Once covered, I added the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft all over its back. This gives it some height and pops up off the layout. The Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft is my favorite foam tape to use with cut files because it is the perfect thickness to give just a little bit of dimension to my layouts.
Mat my photo onto some pink polka dot patterned papers using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then apply the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White on the back of a piece of red patterned paper. I love to cut these up (they come in 6×12 sheets) to pop up my photos. I can cut the perfect size for my 4×4 photo and it covers the entire back of the photo.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Creating layered embellishment clusters with die cuts and stickers and Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. I double up the foam adhesive behind the reindeer to start the cluster to the right of my photo. I can tuck other embellishments behind this die cut to help create a fun and dimensional cluster. To finish off the layout, I add some enamel dots.
I hope you are inspired by my holiday layout! You can check out my process video over on my YouTube channel HERE!
Hi crafty friend! Emily here today! I’m so excited to be a new designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Today, I am going to share a fun take on a tri-fold or gatefold card with a circle shaker. One of the hardest parts of creating a shaker, in my opinion, is making sure the foam tape around the edge is all sealed so nothing spills out. These 3D Foam Circles Frames come in rings so all you have to do is make the correct size frame and bam! It’s that simple!
Creating the Circle Shaker Element
To create your shaker, you will need a base, some pretty sequins (of course), acetate, foam adhesive, and a frame. With the 3D Foam Circles, the foam adhesive is done! Nest two circle dies to create a ring and die-cut with patterned paper for the frame. With the larger circle die and a piece of acetate, I cut a circle for the window and adhered it to the frame with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Cut another large circle for the background and stamp the sentiment. I chose this sentiment because it felt right heading into the new year! Next, grab the lovely assortment of sequins, these have stars in them, and knew I wanted to use them for my shaker element and had just the right paper to go with it.
Place the sequins on the base, make sure not to put too many! Then carefully assemble the shaker element!
Creating the Tri-Fold Card Base
My next step was to create my card! Using this fun 8.5 x 5.5-inch star patterned paper, I scored my paper at 2 1/8 inch and 6 3/8 inch with the 8.5-inch side facing up. For the inside of my card. I cut the A2 Liner Die as a mat to write or stamp on it, and it gives a finishing touch.
Adding a Surprise Fold
I cut out another piece of patterned paper in the A2 Liner Die, and then scored it at 3/8 inches just at the top. This creates a tab so I can add it over the top of the inside of my card. Secure it with some Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4 in. This surprise fold covers where your sentiments would be written, and creates another design element!
Embellish the Suprise Fold
For interest and dimension, I placed a cute ephemera piece with 3D Foam Squares! Inside the top half of the flap, I added a space to insert a gift card. Create a holder with the Gift Card Holder Die and patterned paper. Here, I cut out a strip of the patterned paper (it has a row of suns on it – so cute!). Add the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser on each side of the strip to create a holder for the gift card holder to slip into and out of.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil
Time to decorate! Did you know Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L has different shaped tape runners? I had to use the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser! They also offer beautiful foils, here I am using the purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to match my card. Apply the stars on the inside bottom base of my card for a little touch of shine! Simply roll your tape like usual, place the foil onto the adhesive stars (or whatever shape you have) color side facing you, and rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off, and it’s like magic! Such a beautiful and simple trick to add some shine and different embellishments to your cardmaking.
Assemble the Card
Time to add my shaker onto the base of the front of my card! Make sure you add the adhesive on only ONE SIDE of the back of your shaker element. This adds such a fun touch to your card! Finish this off by adhering more of those star sequins and the front of my card base, as well as some stickers and other ephemera to the rest of my card.
That’s it! This was such a fun card to make, with a lot of different elements! Have you ever made a tri-fold card before? Have you ever done it with a shaker element? You should try it!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With this sweet Dimensional Floral New Year Card, I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2024! This card is all about stamping, fussy cutting, layering, and of course, lots of dimensions! Adding a combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for various uplifting heights is so easy to create. I would love to show you how I made my card.
I used a poinsettia stamp set…yep, poinsettias are not limited to Christmas only! Start by stamping multiple poinsettias and branches onto white cardstock with an embossing ink pad. Sprinkle gold embossing powder over the wet ink, tap off any excess embossing powder, and use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder.
Now use an inkblending tool and a spot of pink ink to color the poinsettias. To color the hearts of the poinsettias and the branches I used color pencils. Now fussy cut the flowers and branches.
Building a Scene
To create a lovely Dimensional Floral New Year Card, I used a combination of the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the flowers and branches onto the card. Make sure to leave a little space to place a sentiment.
For the sentiment, I used my Dymo label maker to print out Happy New Year and then place it on a grey banner. Tuck the banner in the flowers with the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
And voilá, your Dimensional Floral New Year Card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting in 2024!
Hi, Connie here bringing in the New Year with a 2024 Art Journal page. I’m using 3D Foam Adhesives for that dimension that we all love to add to our projects. Art journal pages are no exception! They make everything look better.
Starting my art journal page with the idea (for lack of a better word) that 2024 will be the Best Year yet. Believing that it will be that for all, I have my bird friends singing it loud.
The 2024 Art Journal Page Background
1. Select your ink colors, I’m using Distress Oxide ink. Water the ink down and dab the paper into the ink. Dry after each layer. Repeat the process for your desired look. 2. For a more distressed look, add tissue paper with text on it. 3. Use the large tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen to apply on the tissue paper. Then with the background stamps, randomly place them in areas of the page. Go crazy!!! This is the fun part!
Hi, Margie here today…Happy New Year! My resolution for the year is to read more books! Inspired by this goal, I created a Book Lover’s Bookmark Card because it can house a corner bookmark and it’s a perfect gift for any of my bookworm friends. Let me show you!
Book Lover’s Bookmark Base
Score a piece of a 4-inch square of patterned paper into four 2-inch quarters. Cut one square off and set it aside to use for the card base. Adhere the flaps together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to create a square pocket shape.
Bookmark Assembly
One side will have a double layer – open and fold over one layer, leaving the outside pattern as a 1/8-inch border as shown in the upper right corner image. Secure it with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Next, apply half of a 1.25-inch decorative circle with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and adhere to the middle of the square, leaving half overhang on the edge. Your bookmark is done. Set it aside.
Embellish the Card Base
Fold a piece of 6 x 4-inch white cardstock in half to create a 3 x 4-inch side fold card base. Adhere a 2.25-inch square on the upper right corner and layer the 2-inch square cut from the bookmark base. Use your bookmark as a guide for placement. Adhere a border at the bottom edge of the card base.
The Finishing Touches
Mat a piece of 3 5/8 x 4 5/8-inch of pink patterned paper on top of a 3 7/8 x 4 7/8-inch of green patterned paper. Place it on top of a 4 x 5-inch white cardstock panel. Center the 3 x 4-inch white card base and add the bookmark in the upper right corner.
I hope you enjoyed my Book Lover’s Bookmark Card! So what is your New Year’s Resolution? Share with me in the comments below. Wishing you a better and wonderful year in 2024 (the Year of the Dragon)!

Hi, Judy here today! This Heart Dangle Card features a technique of randomly applying foil over a stamped design that has been embossed with embossing powder. I used the technique on the 3D Foam Hearts as well.
Stamp Background
Cut 4 x 5-inch navy cardstock for a card panel.
Ink background stamp with Versamark ink and stamp on navy cardstock. Cover the image with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.
Apply Foil
Take out blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. This is a good technique to use foil that has been used and still has areas of color as this technique is meant to add touches of foil rather than completely cover images.
Use a heat gun to reheat the area of the embossed design, place foil over the heated area, and press lightly. Allow to cool slightly and then peel away the foil sheet. Repeat until desired foil transfer is achieved. It’s important to heat emboss just enough to be sticky but not too soft as to smear. It may take a little practice.
Assemble Card Base
Cut an 8.25 x 6.5-inch piece of white cardstock, score, and fold to a 4.125 x 6.5-inch card.
Use an embossing folder and die-cutting machine to emboss the bead board design on 4 x 4.25 piece white cardstock. Trim to 4.125 inches wide and cut in half (across bead board pattern). Fasten each half to the top and bottom of the card front using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the card. It’s easier to apply to a flat card front than an embossed piece.
Stamp greeting with Versamark ink on navy cardstock, cover with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.
Use a die and die cutting machine to cut decorative edge square around verse. Tap edge of verse on Versamark ink pad, cover edge with white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool. Repeat on all edges of verse.
Make Heart Dangles
Cut 2 lengths of white pearl cotton about 3 inches long.
Take out sheet of hearts from 3D Foam Hearts, peel liner from a medium heart and place end of pearl cotton on it. Remove another medium heart and place it over heart with string. Repeat for a second heart.
Peel liner from one side of a heart, press into white embossing powder and heat with heat tool. Repeat for second heart. Peel liner from back side of heart and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Gently reheat heart and place foil on it, allow it to cool slightly and peel foil away. Repeat as needed for desired effect. Apply foil to other heart in same way.
Fasten Greeting
Place 3D Foam Squares White Regular on back of stamped greeting piece with extra one at center bottom. Peel liner from center foam square and place strings of hearts on it, press string into adhesive and trim string ends. Peel liners from remaining 3D Foam Squares and fasten greeting to card front.
Add Bow
Tie 2 strands of pearl cotton in a small bow and trim ends. Place Adhesive Dots Mini on back of knot of bow and fasten at top of greeting.
