Coffee Lover Cup Card by Margie Higuchi

Hello and welcome! It’s Margie to celebrate the Spring/Summer 2022 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with the Coffee Lovers Community and you! Today, I’d like to share a card with soft touches of florals in my square coffee cup card. Grab a cuppa and see how I put it together!

Coffee Lover Cup Card Prep

First, I cut card panel layers to create my foundation. The card base is a top-fold 5.5-inch square purple cardstock. The patterned paper panel is a 5.25-inch square and the dark purple square measures 4.75-inches. For the cream cardstock, I changed my mind and die-cut a piece of dusty rose with the largest Fluted Square die which measures 4.5-inches.

For the coffee cup, I die-cut the cup three different times. One each in patterned paper, dark purple cardstock, and cream cardstock. Then trim the tabs off as I will not be needing them. The handle was die-cut with dark purple and cream cardstock but kept the tabs on them.

One way to use scrap patterned papers is to die-cut small shapes like these sweet florals and leaves.

Stack the Layers

For the card panels, I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong because these panels are heavy-weight papers.

Assemble the Coffee Cup

I wanted to offset the cup and handle shapes with the cream and dark purple so I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen. It gives me “wiggle” room to move them. Plus one of the tips is narrow so I can dot the glue in narrow areas. Then I adhere the solid cup patterned paper piece in the back and lastly, attached the handle on the right side.

While the glue dries, I die-cut the “Coffee” and “Lover” words on dark purple cardstock and cut them into strips. For the dusty rose cardstock, I cut them the same height as the word strips but a little long for a shadow effect on the ribbon tail end.

I adhered the strips together with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: I use the permanent dots adhesive to my die-cut shapes as the dots hit the areas where it needs the adhesive and skip over the openings.

To secure the coffee cup, I used a combination of the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft, Thin 3D Foam Squares Small and cut up 3D Foam Circle Frames, and 3D Foam Strips in White (see the handle). I love the 1mm height on the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft and Thin 3D Foam Squares…so subtle for layers!

Florals on the Cup Card

Using a combination of Adhesive Dots in Mini and Small, I adhered the floral die-cut shapes around the top of the coffee cup. Next, I placed the leaves with the same combination of Adhesive Dots. To finish, I center the Dew Drops in Lavender on each of the florals.

The Finishing Elements

Instead of a flower to secure the sentiment, I die-cut the heart and its outline in dark purple and dusty rose cardstock which was adhered with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Setting that aside to dry, I assemble the sentiment words together with the Adhesive Lines. Lastly, I added 3D Foam Circle Large to the back of the heart and added all to the center of the cup.

Missing You Butterfly Card

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Butterfly card. With Adhesive Dots, it’s super easy to adhere small items onto your card, such as tiny butterflies. This card is super easy to make so also suitable for beginner cardmakers. Wanna join me in making the card?

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

Making the Card Base

First, emboss a piece of white cardstock. Place a piece of white cardstock in an embossing folder and run through your die-cutting (follow the embossing sandwich recommended by its manufacturer). Trim the cardstock to the desired size. Next, adhere it to a soft grey card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and then to a white card base.

Making the Butterflies

For my card, I die-cut the butterflies. Designer’s Tip: if you do not own a butterfly die, you could also use a butterfly punch. Next, place Adhesive Dots Micro to the back of the butterflies. Remove the liner and adhere to the card base.

Add as many butterflies as you like.

Embellishing the Card

To add an extra element to the butterflies, I add a pearl to the butterflies. Then I adhered a Missing You sentiment sticker onto a piece of soft grey cardstock. Lastly, adhere to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for dimension.

And voilá your butterfly card is ready. Wasn’t that super easy to make?

Wishing you lots of crafting fun.

Good Vibes Ribbon, Card & Tag Ensemble

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a three-piece Good Vibes ensemble created for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L’s booth at NAMTA/Creativation 2022 Trade Show. It is fun to get that thinking cap on and come up with a coordinating project set to be displayed at the show! I added “Award Winning Adhesives” in my ensemble and you’ll see the “why” in my projects.

Good Vibes Ribbon, Card & Tag Ensemble by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Good Vibes Ensemble Instructions

Creating the Ribbon Badge

A little prep work is needed to begin assembling this beauty in the Good Vibes Ensemble!
1. Apply the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 on the white cardstock by burnishing it well to transfer the adhesive on the cardstock. Next, place the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet/Pastel Color, shiny side up on the cardstock. Gently rub with your finger to transfer the color. Peel it away to see the “magic!” Now it’s ready to run through a die-cutting machine.
2. Cut 1/2 (to 1/4) x 6″ strips of patterned paper. Depending on how full you want the tail, depends on how many to cut. I also pick out ephemera pieces.
3. Add 3D Foam Squares White Small and a 3D Foam Strip to the purse shape. Then add foil to the foam adhesives by repeating the foiling steps.

Assemble the Ribbon Badge

1. Layer the strips of paper and staple them together so they can be attached to the back of the ribbon badge.
2. Stack the award circle shapes from the largest to the smallest. Add a 3D Foam Square between each layer for more dimension and interest. Alter between patterned papers and foiled papers to get a mix of colors.
3. Add the embellished purse with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Add word stickers, for flags, using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″.
4. Use Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ to attach the adhere the strips to the back of the award badge.

Create the Good Vibes Card

Now for the anchor to the Good Vibes Ensemble, prepping the card. It’s easy! Cut more strips of paper using the same pattern paper from the collection. These strips are 1″ to 1/2″ in size Length is 5″. I cut eight and then layered them. You will need two (one for the tent card up next) small award badges that are created using a punch. Stickers for the focal of the card.

1. Use the EZ Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere the mat to a folded card base. created out of the same patterned paper collection.
2. Alternate the EZ Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser with the 3D Foam Strips to create dimension for the card front.
3. Add the focal sticker along with the small foiled award badge, created earlier using a punch.
4. Add twine around the Pelican’s neck.

Set Up the Tag Tent

1. Select two tags from the pattern paper collection and tie them together using twine.
2. Add a decorative straw to each end, of the tags, with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″. Adding the straws helps the tag tent to stay upright.
3. Add stickers and the second award badge foiled, to the front of the tag, using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
4 Add a foiled 3D Foam Strip to the bottom of each tag. I used Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets/Pastel Colors.

And the answer “to the why” is Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L truly has an adhesive for every detail of a project, including my Good Vibes Ensemble! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the NEW products!

Summer Memories

Posted on May 1, 2022 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with you today and I have a summer memories card that has a relaxing beach or lake scene, oh how I would like to be sitting on that grassy knoll.

Summer Memories Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Summer Memories Card Layers

To make my card the image was stamped on white cardstock with black ink and then it was colored with Prisma colored pencils. This image was then layered onto slightly larger black and red cardstock using E-Z Squares® on the back of the stamped panel and on the black panel.

Place 3D Foam Squares were then placed on the back of the red panel and set it was set aside.

Embellish the Card Front

Blue buffalo plaid decorative paper was wrapped on the left side with gold and white twine. To keep the twine in place, Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ was placed on the back of the buffalo plaid panel and the twine was then wrapped around the left side three times over the tape to keep the twine in place.

Apply 3D Foam Squares Mix in White to the back of the decorative paper, being sure to apply enough for the 3D Foam Squares Mix in White so the edges or center won’t sag. Pop this up on a red card, it can either be top or side folding.

Sentiment Details

Die-cut “memories” from gold glitter paper and glue it to a banner die-cut from white cardstock using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Finishing Details

Die-cut a helm with blue cardstock. Place 3D Foam Squares Micro in White on its back. Designer’s Tip: 3D Foam Squares Micro in black will also work because of the dark paper.

Pop up the stamped image on the right side of the card and pop up the helm on the twine as shown and add a sparkly gold enamel dot to the center. Glue down the sentiment below the stamped image using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Add a little more sparkle on the clouds with Unicorn Stickles. You can’t see it in the picture but in person, it adds that little something.

Collage Tag with Foil

Posted on April 30, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Today I put together a collage tag with foil accents that require no glue or matte medium. Premium Double Stick Tape holds all the bits and pieces of collage and the foil. Trust me, the foil is so pretty but just doesn’t show well in the photo. All the details are below.

Collage Tag with Foil by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Collage Tag Base

On #8 white tag, stamp script across top and bottom with Archival Distress Black Soot ink. The Center of the tag won’t show as it will be covered with a collage piece.

Use a sponge applicator to randomly rub Distress Speckled Egg, Salvaged Patina, Vintage Photo over the script until the desired color is achieved. Rub Black Soot along edges. Set aside.

Collage Base

Cut a scrap of black cardstock about 3.25 x 5 inches and a piece about 1.5 x 3.25 inches.

Fasten strips of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in Permanent over cardstock to completely cover it. (Designer Tip: Any of the Premium Double-Sided Tapes can be used) Place a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in Permanent lengthwise along the center of the cardstock strip. Cut in half lengthwise.

Make Collage

Collect bits and pieces of decorative pattern papers, gel printed papers, and fabric scraps.

Peel liners from tape. Tear or cut small pieces of paper and randomly place them on the tape. Leave space between each piece.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

Randomly place foil over the exposed areas of tape, rub foil (with the color side up) with a finger over a small area and lift foil. Repeat with the pastel blue from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, the copper, and bronze foils from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors until all areas are covered. Trim collage piece to 3.125 x 4.5 inches. Repeat the steps on the strips.

Add Interest in the Collage

Use Archival Distress Black Soot ink with assorted stamps to stamp randomly over collage.

Assemble the Tag

Place Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in Permanent across the bottom and top of the back of the collage piece. Fasten the foiled strip to each end. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in Permanent along all edges of the collage piece, peel liners, and secure to the tag.

Cut Letters

Place a piece of black 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix onto the back of a navy cardstock piece big enough for the letters. Place letter dies on the cardstock side and die-cut.

Add Title

Apply large Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix cut in half to back of “Joyful” strip. (Designer Tip: The Joyful strip is from a collection of stamped words I keep on hand. It was stamped with black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. )

Peel the liner from letter B and fasten it to the tag. Repeat with the letter E. Peel liners from the Joyful strip and press in place on the tag.

Add Fibers

Color seam binding with inks, mist, and crumple as desired. Combine with torn pieces of fabrics and loop through hole on tag. Tie small piece of fabric around fibers near tag.

Welcome Baby Boy Slimline Card

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a simple slimline card to share with lots of cuteness and dimension to welcome a baby boy! Here are all of the details.

Welcome Baby Boy Slimline Card by Tracy McLennon For Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Welcome Baby Card Panels

First I created a simple layered card front for the simple slimline card base which is made from white cardstock cut to 7 x 8.5-inch and folded in half. Cut the next white cardstock layer to 3.25 x 8.25-inch and adhere to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Prep the Card Front

Cut the blue patterned paper to 3 x 8-inch, and adhere to the card front using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Then I cut three strips of striped patterned paper that are 0.75 x 3.25-inch and adhered them to the card front using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

It’s in the Details

For this Welcome Baby card, I chose three sweet little animal images to stamp, along with the “Baby Boy” sentiment. I stamped them all onto white cardstock, add color with Zig Clean Color Markers, and then water brush them. Die-cut out the images and place them on the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Mat the letter stickers (welcome) to patterned papers to complete the sentiment. Then add that to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I hope you enjoyed my Welcome Baby Boy slimline card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Masculine Happy Bday Card

Posted on April 26, 2022 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a masculine Happy Bday card with a touch of metallic! Notice the pennants are gold. That’s gold holographic foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. In the directions below, I tell you how to change them from shiny bright to matte gold.

Masculine Happy Bday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embossed Panel

Form a side fold 4.25 x 5.75-inch card base from navy fleck cardstock. Next, cut a 4 x 5.5-inch olive cardstock panel and emboss it with the Cracked Leather embossing folder.

Rub Distress Oxide Brushed Corduroy ink pad over embossed pattern direct to paper. Mist lightly with water. Use foam applicator to rub Distress Chipped Sapphire ink around edges. Then rub Distress Black Soot along the outer edges.

Apply adhesive to the back of the embossed panel using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to the card front.

Cut Happy BDAY Letters

Cut navy cardstock to fit the birthday greeting die. Adhere it with a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black to the backside. Place die on cardstock side and run through die cutting machine 2-3 times to cut letters

Apply Foil to Pennants

Remove top liners from four pennant shapes from the 3D Foam Pennants set.

Place the gold sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors over pennants (color side UP), rub well to transfer the color, and then peel off to reveal. Use fine-grade nail emery board (or sandpaper) to rub lightly over foiled pennants to dull the shine.

Using the Letters

Remove letters B, D, A, Y from die cut greeting and place each one on a pennant. Carefully remove pennants from the release sheet and place them upside down on the work surface. Place navy twine across the top of each pennant and press into adhesive.

Use talcum powder or cornstarch to dust adhesive off the backs of the pennants. Tap off excess. Powder takes away stickiness so pennants can be arranged easily before securing to the card.

Make Tag

Cut 1.25 x 3.75-inch piece of olive cardstock. Lightly rub Brushed Corduroy ink pad direct to paper over olive paper. Mist lightly with water. Allow it to dry. Attach “H A P P Y” letters to the tag. Punch hole at the end. Use corner rounder punch to round corners at the end where the opening is located.

Cut 1.5 x 4-inch navy cardstock and round corners at one end. Apply adhesive around the outer edges of the front side using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser

Place gold foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors over adhesive (color side UP), rub well and remove foil sheet. Rub with nail board to dull shine and slightly distress edges.

Secure the tag with letters to foiled piece with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Cut slightly larger navy mat, round corners and fasten to back. Punch hole through all layers.

Attach the Tag to the Card

Apply 3D Foam Strips around the outer edge of the tag except for the end with the hole. Cut to size as needed. Peel liners from foam strips and place tag on the card front

Fasten BDAY Pennant

Tie the end of the twine with pennants to tag. Cut a 0.75-inch square piece of navy cardstock, round two corners, and punch a hole. Adhere it to the edge of the card with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Arrange the pennant and tie the end of the twine to the tab. Flip the pennants over and place a large Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix over twine on the back of each pennant. Remove liners one by one and press pennants in place on the card.

Adding Triangles

Place 3 triangle pieces from the 3D Foam Pennants sheet on a scrap of navy cardstock. Use scissors to trim close to each triangle. Remove liners from each triangle and place on the card below the tag pointing to “BDAY”.

Office Birthday Wishes Card

Posted on April 23, 2022 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Got a co-worker with a birthday coming up? Let’s make an office birthday card. Teri here to show you how to make a card for your favorite office mate!

Office Birthday Wishes Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To make a card like this, you’ll need some office-themed and birthday stamps, as well as a few basic paper crafting supplies.

Stamp an Office-Themed Design

Start by stamping a sentiment on a panel of cardstock to fit on the front of a card. You’ll also want to stamp and die-cut some office-themed stamped images. You can temporarily set the images on the panel to figure out how you think you might want to arrange them and then stamp the sentiment on the panel so it’s in the right place.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Techniques

If your sentiment has an open space, add a 3D Foam Heart (or 3D Foam Star) to it and cover it with some red flock! Tap off the excess and it will give your card a little bit of texture.

Run some E-Z Runer® Petite Permanent Dots randomly along the edges of your panel. Grab one of our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets (I used the Holographic Set) and gently rub color side UP/facing you onto the dots! Peel off the foil and WoW! If you missed an area, simply reapply the foil.

If the 3D Foam Heart has any exposed adhesive, try applying the foil over it for a fun and unique effect!

Finishing Touches

Secure the stamped images to the card panel with a combination of E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This will give the card some fun variation of dimension and pop!

Mount the panel onto cardstock and then onto your card. For accents, add a few Adhesive Dots and foil onto them, using the same steps for the foiled edges!

Use this Office Birthday Wishes card to give to a favorite co-worker! Either sign it yourself or have your whole team sign it!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Happy Cards with Foiled 3D Foam Circle Frames

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a couple of bright and fun happy cards using the 3D Foam Circle Frames. I am showcasing the Metallic Transfer Sheets Pastel Colors on the foam frames which were released recently. These Circle Frames add a kind of retro vibe. Gather your supplies and let’s get started!

Happy Cards with Foiled 3D Foam Circle Frames by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Cards Prep

I’m using Simple Stories pattern paper along with several styles of 3D Foam adhesives. The 3D Foam Squares White Mix fit the stickers that I want to embellish the Happy Cards with, so I went with those.

Foiling Process

Lay the 3D Circle Frame White (peel off release sheet) face down on the shiny side and gently rub with your finger and then pull apart. If you have a spot that did not adhere foil repeat again. Peel the backing off and adhere to your card front.

Assembling the Card

1. Roll the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser on the back of the card mat and adhere to the card base.
2. Use the Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to adhere the card front to the card mat.
3. Lift the small stickers with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the card front.
4. Place the sticker words to the card front with the 3D Foam Strips White.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will create with the newly released Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on the 3D Foam Circle Frames White. Fun products for my Happy Cards! Check out the other new colors of foil!!!

Easter Bunny Card with 3D Foam Strips

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an Easter Bunny Card that is super easy and quick to make. It might come in handy when you need a last-minute card.

Easter Bunny Card with 3D Foam Strips by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside and glitter, you have a sparkly background within minutes! Wanna join me in creating this Easter Bunny card? Let’s go!

Making the Top Card Panel

First, make a yellow circle on white cardstock using a yellow ink pad and an ink blending tool.

Then stamp Happy Easter below the inked circle. Next, randomly adhere 3D Foam Strips over the yellow circle.

Remove the liner of one of the 3D Foam Strips and sprinkle purple glitter on top. Rub the glitter over it to secure and tap off the excess. Repeat this step with the rest of the 3D Foam Strips using purple, orange, and yellow glitter.

This is what we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. In other words, take your adhesive from behind layers of paper and bring them out to use as embellishments.

Making the Card Base

Trim the glittered top card panel to the desired size and mat to a fuchsia cardstock. Add the layered card panels to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

The Easter Bunny

Stamp the Easter Bunny onto a piece of white cardstock using a black ink pad. Color the image with coloring pencils and fussy cut the bunny. Adhere onto the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

To finish the card, I drew a small heart on white cardstock, colored and fussy cut it. I adhered it onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

And voilá, your Easter Bunny Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!
