Mixed Media Masculine Birthday Card

Posted on November 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! It’s Judy with you today to share a mixed media masculine birthday card. I thought it appropriate to make this card for today’s post as it’s my son’s birthday. I chose blue as it’s his favorite color and started with the round gauge and number 13 leftover from Halloween ephemera and went from there. Sometimes I find it’s best to just let the creative process go its way!

Mixed Media Masculine Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mixed Media Focal Point

For this card, I started with the gauge, a leftover from Halloween ephemera, perfect for my card. I fastened the gauge to a piece of black cardstock using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then I placed a circle from 3D Foam Circle Frames Black around it. After peeling the liner from it, I applied Distress Glaze Prize Ribbon over it.

The color of it doesn’t really show but it gives a glossy coating. While the glaze and foam were hot, I pressed my needle tool into the foam creating ridges around the edge.

To make the blue border around the gauge, I die cut a circle of white cardstock, inked it with Distress Prize Ribbon Oxide Ink, heat embossed Prize Ribbon Glaze over it and fastened it to back of gauge with Ultra Strong adhesive.

Creating the Background

For the background, I stamped the face image first with black ink. I stamped it again on scrap paper and cut out a mask. I used E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the mask to hold it in place as I stamped the background layers.

This photo shows my process of deciding on elements and placement and also shows the background stamped with many different stamps, most with black ink, a few with blue, and crackle in brown. Not all the elements shown made it to the final card.

Assembling the Card

Distress all the pieces and I’ve also added a gear and a brad to the gauge. Using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, apply bits of adhesive to the gear before placing it in the center of the gauge. Then use the same adhesive to fasten the gauge to the background.

To lift up and add dimension to Number 13, adhere it in place with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. The word “November” is layered over it with Thin 3D Foam Squares. Near the top of the card, small “Nov” and “13” are also popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix cut to fit each piece. Another Thin 3D Foam Square holds the token in place at the top corner.

The verse “it’s your special day” was stamped with black ink on white cardstock, heat embossed with glaze, fussy cut, and aged with Distress inks Antique Linen and Vintage Photo. It’s held in place with adhesive applied with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser

The Finishing Details

Before adding Creative Photo Corners White to the top and bottom right corners, I first inked them with Distress Oxide Prize Ribbon ink, added Prize Ribbon Glaze, and heat embossed it.

Then ink and glaze three more Creative Photo Corners White, cut off the tab of each one, and secure them along the left side of the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix

I also added a touch of glaze along the edges of the background using Distress Embossing ink applied with Distress Dabber.

The verse “Happy Birthday” is stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink, heat embossed with Prize Ribbon Glaze, and adhered to a black mat with Ultra Strong Adhesive. Add Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back and place it to the card for dimension.

Coffee Cup Shaker Card by Margie Higuchi

Hi, coffee-loving friends! Margie here today shaking it up with this SUPER FUN Coffee Cup Shaker Card to get your creative juices moving!

Building the Shaker

Die-cut the pieces out of patterned papers. Using the shaker window die cut shape, I hand cut the shape from clear acetate. Apply E-Z Runner® Micro along the edge of the shaker window die cut shape and place the clear acetate over it.

Next, I stacked two layers of 3D Foam Strips on top of the clear acetate, making sure that I was right on top of the edges. Some of my shaker elements are a little higher than the regular height. In the center of the card front, pile on the shaker elements before adding the shaker window.

Adding the Finishing Touches

After assembling the Coffee Cup Shaker Card, I die-cut the coffee cup lid in white cardstock and used an embossing folder to give the shape some interest. Secure the lid with Adhesive Lines.

Next, I clustered some die cut shapes using a combination of 3D Foam Strips and E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra. Then added bling along the edge of the label and on the butterfly’s body. Lastly, add your note inside or a gift card using the Adhesive Dots Repositionable.

Cute Bow Border Layout

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet and simple bow border layout to share. This layout features something that I have so much in my stash, ribbon. Here is how I created this fun bow border.

Cute Bow Border Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

First I cut a strip of white chipboard that is 1.5×12, this will be the base of the bow border. I added strips of Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4in up both sides. Next I created 24 mini bows using some great chevron ribbon from May Arts Ribbon and my bow maker.

Add the bows up the chipboard border strip. Add Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/4in to the back of the border, for adhering to the bow border layout later.

I created a simple layered background using patterned paper and cardstock, all adhered together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I matted the photos in white cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and added them to the layout using Crafty Foam Tape White. Add the bow border strip up the left hand side of the layout.

Begin adding the other paper embellishments. I used a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add dimension and depth to the embellishments.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Documenting December Plans

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! December is just around the corner, and it’s a good time to start thinking about documenting the month. A journal is a good place to do it.

Teri here to show you how to get a head start on documenting December and listing some of the activities you want to take part in. All you need is a journal and a few basic paper crafting supplies.

Documenting December Plans by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Documenting December Layout Ideas

Start with a journal that suits your needs. You might need a larger journal. I use one that’s fairly slim. Stamp a couple of Christmas images on the two pages. Got a poor stamp impression? That’s OK! Just go with it and use some pencils to add a little color to the images. It will help hide the poor impressions!

Stamp or print a couple of December sentiments on thin cardstock. Trim them, as well as a couple of thin strips of patterned paper, to fit in your journal. Secure them down over the stamped images, covering up where your stamping was bad!

Now, use a pen and ruler to draw boxes on your pages and to jot down your plans. Just have fun and decorate the boxes with additional stamping, as well as colored pencil doodles.

Embellish with Flock

When I craft, I really love to embellish my projects. With a bound journal, you don’t want to add a lot of bulk or it won’t close all the way. An easy way around this is to roll a few of the E-Z Runner® Stars to your pages. These are double-sided adhesive star shapes. Cover them with the flock. Flock adds very little bulk. Just be sure to press the flock with your fingers to secure onto the stars. Reapply if you feel any stickiness. Quick and easy without any special tools. Other mediums can be used too such as foil, pigment powder, and glitter.

Create more texture by adding flocked lines above the patterned paper strips. How? Runner a line of E-Z Runner® Micro and apply flock on top, using the same step as above with the stars. Lines can be straight, a little wavy…up to you. On my right page, I didn’t mean to make my flock line wavy but I left it so you can see what I mean about making your line wavy. You could easily fix that by making a new sentiment strip, rolling a straight line of adhesive, and then adding flock, or you could just go with it.

Made a Mistake? There’s a Solution!

By the way, if you start decorating a page in your journal and you make a mistake and think there is no way to save your page, I have an easy solution for you! Take some adhesive and put it all over the page. Attach the page to the facing page and turn to the next page in your journal and start over!

Make sure the adhesive you use is a thin adhesive so you don’t add a lot of bulk to your journal, plus you can write or stamp on your journal pages without feeling bumps.

I hope you are inspired to start documenting your December plans in a journal as well! Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy creating!

Soft and Romantic Birthday Card

Posted on November 5, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. Today I would like to share a soft and romantic birthday card. I love soft romantic colors and for this card, I used pigment powder for coloring.

Soft and Romantic Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To add extra-dimensional effect I used some of my favorite products 3D Foam Squares White Mix and the new 3D Foam Squares Micro White for detailed adhering. Oh… and the great thing…this card is also suitable for beginning cardmakers! Wanna join me in creating the card?

Textured Soft and Romantic Birthday Card Panel

Start by trimming a piece of soft grey cardstock to a rectangular size. Next, take a flower-patterned stencil and put it onto the card panel. Tip: hold the stencil in place by using some washi tape. Then use a spatula to spread some texture paste over the card. Now gently lift the stencil to prevent texture paste stains. While the texture paste is still wet, sprinkle just a little pigment powder over. This way the pigment color will add a subtle color effect (the color pigment mixes with the wet texture paste). Now let dry thoroughly or use a heat tool to dry.

This card is only two layers so simply adhere the textured grey card panel onto a white card base. Use the EZ Runner for adhering the panel onto the card base.

Embellishing the Card

First, sprinkle some pigment powder onto white cardstock and then use a mister to spray some water over the cardstock. This will make the pigment powder fluid and spread over the cardstock.

Now let dry thoroughly. Then die-cut the word Happy from the colored cardstock. Next adhere a piece of bandage onto the card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Then on top adhere a white banner using 3D Foam Squares White Mix for adhering. With 3D Foam Squares Micro White it’s super easy to adhere to the tiny word “Happy”.

Finally, adhere a birthday sentiment onto the textured birthday card using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá… your card is ready!

DIY Christmas Tree Gift Holder

Posted on November 3, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a cute and easy idea for gift presentations! The adorable DIY Christmas Tree Gift Holder was created using the Keepsake Envelopes and the Adhesive Sheets. The base is a vintage library card holder which is the same as a 4″ x 6″ with a 4″ x 2″ pocket at the bottom. Easy to create if you don’t have the envelopes!

DIY Christmas Tree Gift Holder by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My idea is to hang them all over the tree. Other ideas include personalizing them or given out randomly.

Gather up your supplies and put together the Christmas Tree Gift Holder! A detailed supply list is at the end but you’ll need cute Christmas patterned papers, Keepsake Envelopes, Adhesive Sheets, E-Z Runner Grand, and 3D Foam Squares.

Prep the DIY Christmas Tree Card Holder Base

The above picture shows the back of the patterned paper trimmed to cover the entire vintage library card holder. To apply the Adhesive Sheet, simply pull back its liner strip and line up the top edge of the patterned paper. Next, pull back the rest of the liner to cover the entire patterned paper. Place the liner back to sandwich the patterned paper and burnish with a bone folder (rounded side) to transfer the adhesive. Trim excess. It is so easy!

How to Use Adhesive Sheets Video

Embellishing Details for the Christmas Tree Gift Holder

1. Add 3D Foam Squares White Regular to the patterned paper strips along the bottom of the envelope pocket for dimension. For the smaller patterned paper strips, I used 3D Foam Strips.
2. To secure the die cut shapes and stickers to the front of the envelope pocket, I used the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

1. I used the 2 x 2″ envelope from the Keepsake Envelopes to decorate. Then I packed it with money before adhering to a decorated tag. Next, the tag was slipped in the envelope pocket to finish.
2. The E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser was used to secure the gift card in the pocket.

I hope to see many of these Christmas Tree Gift Card Holders on tree branches or be presented as a gift! What a fun way of gift-giving.

Shine Bright Christmas Shaker Card

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Happy November 1st, if you haven’t started on your Christmas cards, now’s the time! Jamie here with you today and I have a Christmas shaker card that will hopefully inspire you to get started.

Shine Bright Christmas Shaker Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Christmas Shaker Card Basics

To make the shaker portion of the card, die-cut watercolor paper using the Pop Frame Die Set. Stamp the lights from the Bright Nose Frame Perfectly Clear Stamps with Black Onyx VersaFine Ink and emboss it with clear embossing powder. Watercolor the lights with Inktense Pencils. Die-cut the center of the frame from watercolor paper then stamp and emboss the sentiment.

Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive around the back of the frame. Place a square of acetate over the adhesive. Turn the frame over and use the same adhesive on the back of the sentiment and place it in the center of the frame on the acetate.

Shaker Steps

Turn the frame over with the backside facing up and place 3D Foam Strips around the frame making sure the edges touch so that the shaker bits don’t fall out. Now place the 3D Foam Strips around the edges of the sentiment piece. This is done so you will need fewer shaker bits to fill the shaker.

Now here’s a trick to assemble your shaker piece, place your shaker bits around the edge of the frame in between the 3D Foam Strips but not in the very center behind the sentiment. Hold your piece securely and remove the paper backing from the foam. Place a square of red cardstock that is smaller from the frame, on top of the foam and give it a rub. Now you can turn your shaker piece over and glue it with Dual Tip Glue Pen to a slightly larger red cardstock panel and you will be able to get it perfectly centered.

Assemblying the Card

Layer black and white decorative paper to a red card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

After the dog has been stamped, colored and cut out, place two of the larger circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Remove the paper carrier and place another large foam circle on top of the first. This will make the dog taller than the shaker.

Now glue the shaker panel diagonally to the card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and pop up the dog.

Pumpkin Gnomes Card

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! Whether it’s Halloween, Fall, or Thanksgiving, pumpkins are in season. Let’s celebrate the season with a Pumpkin Gnomes Card made with the Slim Pumpkin Gnomes stamp by Stampendous!

Pumpkin Gnomes Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp the Pumpkin Gnomes

On two pieces of 4.25 x 8.5-inch Peanut Cluster cardstock, stamp the same Pumpkin Gnome image with a stamping platform and Distress Archival Black Soot ink. So you have two of the same stamped image. Leave the stamp in the stamping platform.

Watercolor with Distress Oxide Ink

Use a paintbrush with Distress Oxide Re-inkers to paint all gnomes on one piece of cardstock (aka the main image). Then only the center gnome of the second piece of cardstock. I used the following ink colors:

Pumpkins: Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire, Wild Honey
Noses: Spun Sugar
Hats: 1-Dusty Concord with Wild Honey, 2-Prize Ribbon & Cracked Pistachio, 3-Fired Brick, 4-Dusty Concord & Cracked Pistachio, 5-Prize Ribbon & Wild Honey, 6-Fired Brick & Tumbled Glass, 7-Cracked Pistachio
Hat Pompoms & Bands, Beards: Picket Fence
Cat Nose and Ears: Black Soot
Hair: Wild Honey
Leaves: assorted colors
Sky Background: Tumbled Glass
Ground: Hickory Smoke with Black Soot for shading

Add shading using a wet paintbrush with Distress Black Soot ink. Allow drying.

Stamping Pumpkin Gnomes Tip

Place painted gnomes paper back into the stamping platform, ink stamp, and stamp over gnomes. This will redefine the lines especially those swirls in the background. Repeat for the second image with the center gnome colored. Trim main image piece to 3.875 x 8.125 inches.

Glittering the Gnomes

Squeeze a small amount of glue from Dual Tip Glue Pen onto a scrap of cardstock. Use a fine-tip paintbrush to apply glue to pompoms on gnomes’ hats. Sprinkle with Rock Candy glitter and remove excess. Continue to apply glue and glitter to hat bands, stars on the cat’s hat, dots on the purple hat. Don’t add glitter to the center gnome as it will be embellished differently. Paint cat pumpkin gnome nose with glue, sprinkle with black glitter, and remove excess. Apply glue to dots on the orange hat, sprinkle with black glitter and remove excess. Add glue and glitter in the same way to individual gnomes.

The Center Gnome

Fussy cut around the center colored gnome from the second image.

Apply the regular size square from the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to its back. Remove the liners and fasten the gnome over the same gnome on the main image piece.

Assemble the Card

Place a Creative Photo Corners Black on each corner of the gnomes piece. Cut a piece of 4 x 8.25-inch black cardstock for a layer. Then cut a piece of 8.5 x 8.5-inch blue cardstock and fold to form a 4.25 x 8.5-inch card base.

Use E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the main image piece and over back of each photo corner to keep them from shifting. Center on black cardstock and press in place.

Final Steps to the Card

Use a paintbrush to apply glue from Dual Tip Glue Pen to one photo corner. Sprinkle with glitter and remove excess. Repeat for all photo corners.

Apply adhesive to the back of the matted main image piece with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and secure to the card front.

Finished and ready to give or send! I hope you enjoyed my Pumpkin Gnomes Card. Happy Pumpkin Season!

Fall Slimline Gatefold Card

Posted on October 27, 2021 by Margie Higuchi

Fall is in the air and through the changing colors of the leaves! I am sharing a seasonal gatefold card inspired by the Slim Fall Sunflowers Cling Rubber Stamp from Stampendous. Hoping to get you in the moody so you will also create and spread some seasonal cheer. Let’s get started!

Fall Slimline Gatefold Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Fall Slimline Card Basics

Start with cutting one 3.5 x 8.5-inch piece out of Kraft cardstock and from the same cardstock, cut a 3.5 x 9.5-inch piece. Score the 3.5 x 9.5-inch cardstock on the long side at 0.50-inch on each end. Then stamp the Slim Fall Sunflowers Cling Rubber Stamp image between the score lines.

On the stamped panel, cut 3-inch from the scoreline on the right side. Apply E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra on each scored line and secure to the ends of the 3.5 x 8.5-inch card panel. Now you have formed your gatefold card base.

Card Front Embellishment

On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the Slim Fall Sunflowers Cling Rubber Stamp image and color the left side of the image with watercolor pencils or any color medium you like. Then fussy cut the colored portion of the image.

Add Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. to the back (making sure not to add over the opening of the card front) and place it on the corresponding area on the card front. The height on this foam tape is just enough to lift the layer without the bulk. Another advantage is you can cut the tape as long or short as your project needs.

Stamp sentiment on vellum and cut in a long strip to cover end to end on the left side of the panel (about 5.5-inches). Adhere to the card front with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine adhesive which is perfect for vellum! Once the adhesive settles, it will be clear. The sentiment stamp is from the Times Together Perfectly Clear Stamps set also by Stampendous.

Inside the Card

For the inside of the card base, I wanted to have a finished look so I added a piece of 3 x 8-inch white cardstock piece and secured it with Creative Photo Corners in Gold.

Now it’s ready to be sent! I hope you enjoyed the Fall Slimline Gatefold Card tutorial.

Keep crafting!

Carried Away Gnome Step Card

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Linda Lucas

Hello everyone, it is Linda here with a Gnome Step Card inspired by an image from Stampendous’ Slim Autumn Gnomes! This adorable image has been layered using a number of 3D Foam products to add dimension without adding extra bulk. Let me show you my process!

Carried Away Gnome Step Card by Linda Lucas for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gnome Step Card Base

Cut a green card base to measure 11cm x 30cm. With a scoreboard, score the card base at 12cm, 24cm and 27cm 2cm, to create the two steps.

Fold the card base along the score lines into mountain and valley folds with the smallest at the front of the card.

Cut patterned paper to 10.5cm x 11.5cm and 10.5cm x 2.5cm.

Adhere to the corresponding steps using E-Z Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser 150 feet.

Creating the Stamp Image

Stamp the image onto white card stock using black ink. Die-cut the image using the second largest die and the smallest. Colour the images.

Adhere 3D Foam Strips to the back of the die cut images

Layer the die cut images onto slightly larger orange card stock, next Adhere 3D Foam Strips to the back of the layered images.

Remove the backing from the 3D Foam Strips and adhere to the card base.

Adhere the sentiment using E-Z Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser 150 feet.

Adhere a large circle from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix to a larger flower and a small one to each of her smaller flowers. Pop these onto the bottom left-hand corner of the smaller step.

Adhere a square from the 3D Foam Squares to a cardboard heart, adhere to the top right-hand corner of the larger step, with a flower on either side.

Tie thin coloured twine around the top of both layers.

This is my final tutorial as Guest Designer for this year and I hope you enjoyed all of my creations. I’ve enjoyed inspiring you for the last several months!
