Slim Winter Gnomes Christmas Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Coloring the Winter Gnomes

Start by stamping the Gnome Christmas stamp on a stamping platform. It’s perfect for a slimline card format! Choose the colors you like and with watered-down Distress Oxide ink, start painting.

Then stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and cut it into word strips. Select a coordinating piece of cardstock to mat the card front on.

Add the glitter to the snowflakes, on the card front, and tear the bottom, of both the card front and the mat, to give a jagged edge look.

Assembling the Gnome Christmas card

1. Photo of all adhesive used to complete the card.
2. Add Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to the back of the card front and adhere to the dark grey cardstock mat.
3. Add E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to the back of the grey cardstock mat and adhere to a folded white cardstock base.
4. Add the sentiment word strips to the card front with 3D Foam Strips.

Colored and Striped Snowmen Card

Posted on October 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a snowmen card featuring a gorgeous Stampendous stamp. With only about two months to go, it’s time to get started making Christmas cards!

Colored and Striped Snowmen Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside I created a colored and sparkling snowmen card. Wanna join me in creating the card? Well…let’s get started!

Prepping the Snowmen Card

First, stamp the snowmen image onto white smooth cardstock using a black ink pad. Now I used a very large stamp, so I trimmed it down to a rectangular shape, using only a part of the stamp.

Then I used colored pencils to color the stamped image. Coloring is all about layering, so slowly build up your colors by adding multiple layers of coloring, each adding a little more shadow parts.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

To create the glittered stripes I adhered Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft horizontally over the colored card panel.

Use a craft knife to cut off the excess parts of the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft to make it fit the card panel. Then gently peel off the liners of the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft and sprinkle some silver glitter upon the adhesive stripes.

For secure adhering to the glitter, simply rub them with your finger over the glittered stripes. Next tap off any Excess glitter. This technique, making your adhesive a feature on your projects is also known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Making the Card Base

Adhere the colored card panel onto a soft grey card panel and use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for adhering. Then adhere to a white card base and again use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for adhering to the panel.

Finishing the Snowmen Card

For a finishing touch, I added a few self-adhesive rhinestones.

Designer’s Tip: if you have rhinestones that do not adhere well, or even have no adhesive on the back: simply use Adhesive Dots Micro for adhering!

And voilá….your glittering colored snowmen card is ready! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Winter Wishes Christmas Gift Tag

Posted on October 15, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with you to share a Winter Wishes Christmas gift tag. It’s not just a tag but also part of the gift because it’s reusable! Who doesn’t love that idea? Let me show you.

Winter Wishes Christmas Gift Tag by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Winter Wishes Tag Secret

To make this reusable tag, I started off with the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops and used a frame die to cut white glitter paper and decorative paper that’s slightly smaller than the adhesive on the tag. The sentiment was stamped on white glitter paper with Black Staz-on Ink, this ink will stain your clear stamps even after cleaned, but won’t harm them. The frame pieces were placed on the adhesive from the tag and they were rubbed to ensure adhesion.

Embellishing the Tag

To embellish the tag, I kept it simple with two holly leaf designs. First, stamp with black ink, colored with colored pencils, and cut out. Next, attached on top of the tag cover, using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Make sure the tag is closed by rubbing around the edges.

Although the tags come with loops, I decided to use ribbons to tie at the end.

The possibilities are endless with these Christmas tags! Use them on gifts, attach them to gift bags, and even hang them over wine bottles! How would you use them?

Posted on October 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! I hope you’re having a great fall! I’ve certainly been enjoying the warm weather in the countryside where I live so today, I put together a Happy Fall card with a country scene. I used a word program on my computer to print the greeting.

Countryside Fall Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base

From white cardstock form 4.25 x 5.5 inch card. Cut dark Khaki brown paper 4 x 5.25 inches

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back and fasten to the card front. Set aside.

Cut Frame and Background

Align Stacked Postage die with largest Stacked Tiles, Rectangles die in center and tape to white cardstock. Use a die-cutting machine to cut the frame.

Sweet & Simple Thank You Card

Posted on October 11, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a Sweet & Simple Thank You Card to share. Sometimes you need to create a greeting card in a pinch, and this is just the card to create in a hurry. Here are all of the details on how to create this card.

Sweet & Simple Thank You Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Quick and Easy Cardmaking

The card base for this Sweet & Simple Card is white cardstock A2 size. Adhere a piece of kraft cardstock that is 4×5.25 using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I used packaging from the paper collection for the next layer. Then cut the green patterned paper to 3.5×4.75, adhere these 2 layers together using Creative Photo Corners Gold.

Adhere the 2 pieces you have already created for this Sweet & Simple Card using Crafty Foam Tape White. Then I cut out the tag, a little strip of pink patterned paper and stick the 2 together using the large foam sticker sentiment. Adhere the tag to the card using Crafty Foam Tape White.

The final touches for this Sweet & Simple Card were to add a burlap string bow to the tag. Then shape and adhere the butterfly ephemera to the card using Adhesive Dots Micro.

A card doesn’t need to be complicated to be beautiful. Grab some leftover bits and pieces in your stash and create some Sweet & Simple Cards.

Patchwork Follow Your Heart Card

Posted on October 9, 2021 by Linda Lucas

Hello everyone, it is Linda here; today I am excited to be sharing a Patchwork Follow Your Heart card created with some of my ever-increasing pile of ‘favourite’ scraps of paper that are too pretty to throw away. I am sure many can relate or is it just me!?! You can see below how I have used four different paper scraps to create a fun background for any card using one of my favourite products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Patchwork Follow Your Heart Card by Linda Lucas for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Patchwork Background

Remove the adhesive from one side of the Adhesive Sheets 4x6in. Adhere to a piece of recycled cardboard measuring 10cm x 15cm.

Using a square 1 3/8” punch cut four squares from three different patterned papers. Remove the top layer from the Adhesive Sheets 4x6in., arrange the squares onto recycled cardboard. Cut the card front to size using a Pierced Rectangle Die; attach to a slightly larger A-frame white card base.

Make Embellishments

Use one of the smallest sizes of the Keepsake Envelopes. Layer 3 pieces of the Journal Bits and Pieces together, slightly fanned out, apply a small strip of the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refill Dispenser to the back of the embellishments. Tuck inside the Keepsake Envelopes.

Peel the backing off the Keepsake Envelopes and adhere, slightly angled to the top right-hand corner of the card front.

Wrap white twine around the lower portion of the card front, twice, secure with a bow.

Adhere 3D Foam Squares to the back of the circular Journal Bits and Pieces.

Add Journal Bits and Pieces to the Circle embellishment. Remove the backing from the 3D Foam Squares and adhere to a white die cut circle.

Adhere to the card front using E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser, slightly angled onto the Keepsake Envelopes. Glue a button to the centre of the bow.

You are Essential to Me Cards

Posted on October 7, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, all! Has the Pandemic got you staying home and wanting to craft more? Teri here with a couple of “easy to make” handmade cards for essential workers, as well as the essential people in your life!

You are Essential to Me Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These cards are a great way to thank those workers out there, who continue helping others. They are also a fun way to make the essential people in your life smile… with a Pandemic twist!

Create the Essential Card Elements

Start by cutting three of the same “Smile” words from cardstock. Use your markers to add a little color to one of them. I wanted an artsy look so I covered it with light blue and then added some darker blue coloring to the bottom.

Stack the words up and adhere them together and then onto the mat. Rather than using a dot over the “i”, use a sequin or gem!

Stamp and die-cut a couple of critters with masks on. Color them in with markers.

Adhere a panel of patterned paper onto a top folded card. Temporarily set the die-cut word onto and stamp an additional sentiment onto the card. Permanently adhere the die-cut to your card with 3D Foam Strips. These are great because you can cut them up to fit your word perfectly.

Add your stamped critters to your card. Use foam to make one of them pop.

Complete the card by adding some adhesive hearts and flock, as well as some additional sequins.

Essential Card Take 2

You can easily change up the design of your card by using different stamped critters. Here I used three different critters as opposed to just frogs.

Remember, if you don’t have a stamp of a critter with a mask, try improvising. Find a critter stamp and then draw a mask onto it with a pen. Simply draw a rectangle and add a few strings to it. The sky is the limit when it comes to creative possibilities!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to make some cards of your own!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

School Days All Occasion Card

Posted on October 5, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an all-occasion card, using school-themed papers! Can you tell? Thought it would be nice to use this card when corresponding with a teacher, school staff or administrator. Using Creative Photo Corners Gold and Metallic Foil adds a sparkling touch to the card. It’s very easy to make. Let me share my process with you.

School Days All Occasion Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the School Days Card Panel

Start by trimming 2 pieces of patterned paper to the same width. Adhere both pieces onto a green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Fussy cut a pencil border from patterned paper. Then adhere to the card panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Wrap a piece of green satin ribbon around the card panel and secure the ends to the back of the panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Place the card panel onto a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing with the Creative Photo Corners

Now for the fun part! Embellish the School Days card with Creative Photo Corners Gold. It is a unique way to create interest on a card front. Simply tuck them under the satin ribbon on both the top and bottom sides of the ribbon.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Concept

This concept brings the adhesives from between the layers of papers to the outside to create an embellishing element! No more hiding! Let me show you…

Place some Adhesive Dots Micro on the centers of the designs leaving the liners on until ready for the next step. Pick a gold color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. Cut the sheet into a small piece just enough to cover the area.

Remove the liners from the adhesive dots and place the foil color side UP over them. Gently rub with your fingertips to transfer the color. Remove the foil and done! No special machine or tool. If you see any missed areas, simply reapply with the foil.

Lastly, adhere a satin bow to the card with Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft.

Voilá the School Days All Occasion Card is ready! Designer Tip: Add a sentiment to the card to turn it into a specific occasion card.

Wishing you happy crafting!

Hi, Connie here with four Adventure Awaits Travel Tags using Safe Travels by Simple Stories and Creative Photo Corners White. Adding a fun border is easy with Creative Photo Corners White. This idea can be used on cards, scrapbook pages, and more!

Adventure Awaits Travel Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adventure Awaits Tag Base

To start the tags you will need to cut four sheets of coordinating pattern paper (12 X 12) into four strips, two 3 X 12 and two 3 1/4 X 12. Cut the strips in half (6 X 6) and you will have eight strips of paper that will make four tags.

Adhere the smaller tag to the larger tag using Crafty Foam Tape White, creating four Adventure Awaits Travel Tags.

Creative Photo Corner Border

1. Place the Creative Photo Corners White between the two layers of pattern paper and trim off the extra from the side of the tag.
2. Rub the back of the Creative Photo Corners White with an Embossing Powder Bag and the Creative Photo Corners White will no longer be sticky.

Add Layers

1. Add the background die cuts, to the tags, using E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
2. Over lap the smaller die cuts and adhere with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Creates dimension and looks great!
3. Add the words using the 3D Foam Strips. Punch a tag hole, add a reinforcer and tie with twine to complete the tags.

Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts

Posted on October 1, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Happy October 1st! Jamie here with you to start off October with a cute Halloween card that’s a little sparkly and a little spooky. I’m happy to share this Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts card with you so let’s get started!

I love glitter and bling! With the help of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and their adhesives, it’s easy to get everything to stick!

Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a Spooky Boo Card Background

I started off making a cloudy background with pink and gray inks using blender brushes. It’s a beautiful background against the Halloween theme. Set aside to dry. Let’s work on the panel.

Sparkly Ghosts Panel

Now for the super-easy way to add ghosts and sparkle. Cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4x6in Adhesive Sheets to 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″. Next, place on the same size black cardstock. Remove the top liner of the Adhesive Sheet and place white glittered ghost die cuts on the exposed adhesive sheet as desired. Cover the cardstock with black glitter and rub to secure the glitter. Repeat the step until it’s completely covered in glitter.

Assemble the Spooky Boo Card

Attach the ghost panel to a slightly wider purple panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then place it on the left side of the cloud card front using the same adhesive. Mat the card front onto a slightly larger black panel and finally, onto a purple card base.

“BOO” was die-cut from an alphabet stencil and popped up on the card using 3D Foam Squares Micro White. These foam squares make it really easy to pop up pieces that have thin lines, I love them!! For a touch of interest, add black enamel accents randomly in the clouds. And that’s it! So Fun!
