Then read about our giveaway details (National Coffee Day Hop and then Simple Stories at the very end)!

Coffee & Donut Scrapbook Page

Hello and welcome! It’s Margie to celebrate National Coffee Day with the Coffee Lovers Community and you! It’s natural to think that coffee goes well with donuts, right? Well, do you remember Mister Donuts? Maybe I am aging myself – LOL! Sadly, there is only ONE place in the U.S. – Godfrey, IL. BUT it is alive and well overseas. Go figure! I created a scrapbook page of my visit to one in Japan. Grab a cuppa and see how I put it together!

Coffee & Donut Background Prep

My Coffee & Donut scrapbook page is on a 12 x 12-inch Kraft Cardstock. Cut a piece of 12 x 12-inch patterned paper in half to 6 x 12-inch. Use one half and set aside the other for another project. Turn the paper to its backside and hand tear the paper (tear it towards you). Continue to stress it by folding over to the front about a half-inch and secure it with E-Z Runner® Micro.

Then adhere the distressed piece to the 12 x 12-inch Kraft cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong.

Layer Embellishments

Wasting not even the product strip of the patterned paper, I cut off the patterned design to create strips to embellish the bottom of my image. I used the collection’s washi tape to secure two strips side-by-side and then Adhesive Lines to adhere the red strip to the center. The other embellishments were from the ephemera pack and secured with a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong and 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Journaling

Cut a cut-a-part to create a journaling box and write your comments in. I penciled and trimmed mine as it will be tucked behind the picture. Secure it with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong.

Make the Coffee & Donut Title

Using the 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small White sheets, I die-cut the letters for my title. Love this idea because it customizes your title as well as pops it up!

Now for the FUN part – foiling the title letters! Once I place the letters down on the page and remove the top liner, I covered a piece of silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographics color side UP to rub the foil to transfer the color to the letter. A technique we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It is using adhesive as an embellishment rather than hiding between layers of paper.

First Day of School Scrapbook Page

Posted on September 27, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! September always makes me think of back to school! Photos of my granddaughter’s first day of school inspired me to put together this First Day of School scrapbook page. All the papers. stickers and more in the Simple Stories Collection’s Essential Kit “School Life” along with adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L were perfect for this page. I simply added black and white cardstock and die-cut letters and number.

Edit to Add: Simple Stories Feature Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winners, Amanda W., Connie J + Debra R.! 🎉

Don’t forget! Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L is featuring our friends at Simple Stories until the end of September. To commemorate, we are giving away three sets of adhesives and paper pack packages. Please see Judy’s fabulous scrapbook page to the end. Then read about the giveaway details!

First Day of School Scrapbook Page by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Choose First Day of School Background Paper

First of all, I chose striped patterned paper and pencil paper for the background. Stripe paper is cut 10 x 10.75 inches and layered over pencil paper with a narrow strip of orange added to the left edge. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to fasten all papers together.

Dimensional Number and Letters

Next, I cut number 3 and letters for “rd grade” and letters for the name “Lauren.” To make these, peel white liner from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black, and fasten black cardstock to 3D foam. Position dies on cardstock side and use die cutting machine to cut letters and number. This technique makes dimensional letters/number that are adhesive backed stickers.

Peel liners from letters and place letters from name on Simple Stories “School Life” Journal Bit. Add chipboard star and cardstock star sticker. Cut black cardstock mat and fasten to the backing using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Cut a strip of ruler paper and fasten across the bottom edge of stripe paper on scrapbook page using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Remove liner from number 3 and press in place. Add letters “rd grade” by removing liners and pressing in place.

Photo Arrangement

Cut white cardstock mats for each photo and fasten to the back of each photo using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Arrange photos on the scrapbook page and temporarily hold in place using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Arrange other pieces to determine the layout. Permanently secure the two photos behind the main photo using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back.

To fasten the main center photo cut 3D Foam Strips Large White to fit and apply on back. Remove liners and press photo in place.

Name Label

Cut pieces of 3D Foam Strips Large Black to fit label and fasten to back, remove liners, and press name label in place.

Add Strips

Cut strips of paper with “school life”, red ruler strips, and alphabet strips. Fasten “school life” strips with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

For narrow red ruler strips, use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive and fasten in place. It’s perfect for narrow pieces!

To add some dimension, the alphabet strips are fastened with 3D Foam Strips which are narrow and work perfectly for these strips. Where the strip extends over the main photo, apply with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Secure the strips near the name label in the same way.

Add Stickers

At each end of a pencil, fasten small pieces of 3D Foam Strips, peel liners and fasten pencil across the photo with ends fastened to page. Apply a small piece of foam strips to the eraser sticker and fasten it near the photo corner. Peel liner from back of heart sticker, add a small piece of Foam Strips at the left edge, and fasten to edge of the main photo.

Peel liner from “let’s learn” sticker and fasten to white cardstock. Trim close around the sticker to leave a narrow white border. Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to back, peel liners, and fasten across the edge of the smaller photo.

School Is Embellishment

Mat the orange “School is” piece with white cardstock using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Cut a black mat with narrow reveal and adhere with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Cut a strip of “school life” paper off a tag from the page of tags and a strip of stripe paper. Fasten both to the edge of the “School is” piece.

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to back of “School is” assembled piece, remove liners, and press in place between photos.

Make Journal Tag

Add a “school” sticker label to the top of the journal tag. Secure the heart chipboard stickers below the “school” sticker. Fasten the “take note” journal bit at bottom of the tag using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive. Write journaling with a black pen and use a calligraphy marker to write the date. Apply adhesive to back of journal tag using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to scrapbook page.

School Life Mini Tag Album by Linda Lucas for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

School Life Mini Album Base

Using a scoring board and crease tool, score across a 30cm x 30cm sheet of double-sided paper at 15cm. Turn the paper over, and scoring in the same direction, score at 5cm and 25cm. Next, turn the paper 90 degrees, and score at 7.5cm, 15cm, and 23cm. Finally, turn the paper so the scores at 5cm,15cm, and 25cm are vertical.

Starting at the centre of the lower edge, cut on the 15cm line up to the 7.5cm score line at the top of the paper NOTE: This is the only cut in the whole album.

With the side of the paper you want for the cover and pockets) face down, fold and crease along the 5cm scoreline; next fold and crease along the 25cm scoreline; these are the pockets and should be on the inside.

Fold the paper in half on the uncut part at the top of the cut line, with the main side out.

Using the E-Z Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser, tape the four open pocket sides shut.

Start from the bottom right side and Accordion fold and when you get to the end, turn the paper over and repeat the folding process.

Optional: using the Extreme Double-Sided tape 1/4in on one side of the Album middle to hold the secure the two sides together.

Use a small hole punch and create two holes through all the album pages, 2.5cm from both the top and lower edges of the album. Add Binder rings.

Cards for Travelers

Posted on September 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Like to hit the road? Teri here with a fun idea for you! Inspired by the designs from the Safe Travels Collection by Simple stories, I made some handmade greeting cards for your next road trip. These can be sent to your loved ones and friends! Let’s get started on these cards for travelers!

Edit to Add: Simple Stories Feature Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winners, Amanda W., Connie J + Debra R.! 🎉

BUT first…Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L is featuring our friends at Simple Stories until the end of September. To commemorate, we are giving away three sets of adhesives and paper pack packages. Please see Teri’s wonderful project until the end to read about the giveaway details!

Cards for Travelers by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create a Card for Travelers with Patterned Paper + Lots of Little Details

Start by applying a panel of patterned paper and a few additional strips of paper to a card created from cardstock.

Cut a tag from patterned paper. Flip it over and apply some adhesive onto it. Randomly affix some thread onto it, allowing it to peek out from behind the tag. Add the tag to your card.

Pick a couple of travel-themed die-cuts for your card. Embellish one of them by adding an adhesive star and flock to it, as well as a sequin and sticker. Mount your die-cuts to your card. Give them by affixing them with 3D Foam Strips Large in White. I really enjoy using strips because you can easily cut them up so you can use just pieces.

Embellish your card by adding some Creative Photo Corners Kraft to it. Rather than using your corners in a traditional sense, use them like arrows as I did. Finish your card by adding a few additional sequins and stickers, if desired.

Additional Traveler Card Ideas

This card is similar to the first card I shared.

Rather than using die-cuts, I added an airplane sticker to it! I wanted the sticker to have some pop so I mounted it to the card with the 3D Foam Squares Micro in White.

Like the first two cards, this card uses lots of patterned paper.

To make it stand out, I embellished it with the die-cut banner and word strips. Again, I wanted them to pop off my card so I once again pulled out my 3D Foam Squares Micro in White! I also added a few Creative Photo Corners Kraft to mimic the look of arrows.

I hope you are inspired to make a few travel-inspired cards for your travelers.

Happy creating!

Happy Place Layered Embellishments

Happy Place Layered Embellishments by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Say Cheese!

I created this layered embellishment layout using just a few of my favourite adhesives and the Say Cheese Main St Collection. First I created a simple layered background using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then added the layered border up the middle using both the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Mat the 4×6 photo in 2 layers of white cardstock. I added Creative Photo Corners Black to the photo and used Crafty Foam Tape Black between the white cardstock layers and to add it to the layout itself.

Next, I began adding the layered embellishments to the layout using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Just that little bit of dimension between the layers makes all the difference. I will even use foam products behind stickers to add dimension.

This collection was just so much fun to work with. The Collector’s Essential Kit provided so many fabulous embellishments to create my layered embellishment layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good Fun Page with Simple Stories!

Posted on September 19, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a Good Fun scrapbook page using Sunkissed by Simple Stories and some pretty awesome adhesive. I love the 3D Foam Strips for attaching title letters and the Creative Photo Corners White make a creative border for added dimension. This photo is from 1983 and I remember this fun time just like it was yesterday. This guy is all grown up and has kids of his own but I sure miss this little 3 year old wanna be fisherman!

Good Fun Page with Simple Stories by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Good Fun Patterned Block

1. Depending on the length and width cut the pattern paper strips about a 1/2″ and as many as you need to cover the space needed. Mine is about a 5″X7″, so I cut 12 strips.
2. Adhere one end of the strip to a white cardstock base (5″x7″) using the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Dispenser. Lift the other end up and adhere with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser. This lets you have one end, that can be picked up, to make sure the strips of paper are straight. After completing this process the 5″X7″ strip block is ready to be attached to the front of the page using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Creative Photo Corners Border

1. I used a combination of Creative Photo Corners White and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to create the border.
2. Cut the liner flap off the Creative Photo Corners White , leaving just the corner photo tip.
3. Alter every other photo tip and adhere using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This will give you a up and down pattern and some really cool dimension to decorate with stickers and cutouts.

Good Fun Embellishments

1. Adhere the title with the 3D Foam Strips.
2. Using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix, adhere the word and image stickers to the scrapbook page.
3. For dimension, apply the 3D Foam Strips to the additional strips and place on top as a strip collage.

I have covered all the elements of the page with the exception of the blue fish. The fish were added to bring more of the cobalt blue color into the page. It is a stencil and I love what it added to the page.

Adhere the embellished page to a coordinating pattern paper from the Sunkissed Collection by Simple Stories with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Finally, add the journal notes, along with the date to complete the Good Fun Scrapbook Page.

True Love Art Journal

Posted on September 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a wedding-themed True Love Art Journal. I love Art Journaling and find inspiration for many occasions. For this page, I used a picture taken at my own wedding a couple of years ago. Using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives it’s ever so easy building all the layers for the pages. Wanna join me in creating an Art Journal like the one I made?

Edit to Add: Simple Stories Feature Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winners, Amanda W., Connie J + Debra R.! 🎉

Just a reminder that we are having a giveaway featuring our friends at Simple Stories! From 9/15/2021 until the end of September, we are giving away three adhesives and paper pack packages. Please read through Yvonne’s wonderful art journal project to the end for the giveaway details!

True Love Art Journal by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Art Journal Background

For the background of the Art Journal, I trimmed a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size and adhered it into my Art Journal using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Then I tore two pieces of patterned paper into strips. Next, I altered the edges of the torn paper strips using brown ink and an ink blending tool.

Now adhere the strips onto the Art Journal pages using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Building the Layers

As I mentioned, my Art Journal layout is all bout layering. First, adhere a piece of washi tape in a horizontal line over the torn and inked paper strips.

Then adhere the photo along with Creative Photo Corners Gold (which I put on 3 corners) onto the layout. Use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere to the photo.

Next use a stencil and white structure paste to create the starry pattern: put the stencil onto the Art Journal layout and keep the stencil into place using your hand or some washi tape. Then use a spatula to even the structure paste over the stencil. Now gently lift the stencil to prevent staining and let it dry thoroughly.

Embellishing the Art Journal Pages

To embellish the Art Journal layout I used a black true love quote and adhered it onto the layout using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then I adhered stickers (the banner, hearts, camera, and text) onto the Art Journal layout.

Finally, I finished the page by adhering sequins onto the layout using Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Mini for adhering.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Celebrate Birthday Slimline Card

For the card front, the large floral print was so pretty, I used it as a beautiful background. I secured it with the E-Z Dots Refill Dispenser to a slightly larger yellow panel. Then popped it up using the 3D Foam Circles White Mix on a dusty blue card base. Again, with the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, I lifted the birthday shadow die cut shape, the garland, and the balloons for more dimension. To keep the happy strip and the white birthday word to its shadow shape, the Dual Tip Glue Pen did the trick.

Celebrate Birthday Pillow Box

How cute to make a coordinating pillow gift box with paper from the same collection? I used a pillow die which makes it easy to do and completes your Celebrate Birthday gift ensemble!

The E-Z Dots Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere the side of the box. Next, a couple of dots from the Dual Tip Glue Pen were used to make sure that the edge is secure.

Finally, the box was tied with a blue ribbon with stickers from the Happily Ever After Kit was placed on the box with one circle from the 3D Foam Circle White Mix placed under the bottom of the lantern since it doesn’t lay flat.

Make someone’s birthday special with this Celebrate Birthday Card and Gift Card Ensemble!

Folio Pocket Wedding Card

Posted on September 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! Today, I have a folded Folio Pocket Wedding Card to show you! I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by @pinkstrawberryz. By adjusting the size and adding a ribbon closure, I was able to personalize it to my needs.

Folio Pocket Wedding Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make Pocket Card Base

Cut patterned paper to 9 x 12 inches.

Score 3/4 inch along both short sides and at the center which is 6 inches from the short edge.

Rotate the paper to score 1 3/4 inch along the top long side and at 6 inches (3 inches from the bottom edge).

Cut away corner pieces as shown in the photo. From top edge cut along the center fold line to score line. Use center score line as a guide to cut from bottom to horizontal score line. Fold folio in half and cut flap edges at a slight angle at the center and outer edges. Cut at a slight angle at the center bottom edges. Fold along score lines. Use corner rounder punch to round corners.

Form Pockets

Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to inside outer edges of pockets. Fold up and press in place.

Vellum Pocket

Cut 2 1/2 x 5-inch piece of vellum. Score 1/4 inch from both short edges and along one long edge (bottom). Fold on score lines. Apply adhesive to folded edges with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Secure the vellum pocket to the folio pocket.

Add Ribbon and Chipboard Sticker

Fold folio to a closed position. Mark center of the flap. Apply a line of adhesive for ribbon using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Place ribbon over adhesive allowing about 2/3 of length extending beyond the top of the folio and about 1/3 extending below the flap. Press firmly in place. Apply more adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser over the ribbon.

Peel liner partially from the upper back of chipboard sticker. Place over the ribbon with part of sticker on flap and part extending below the flap.

Peel the remainder of the liner from the back of the chipboard sticker. Dust with powder so the sticker is no longer sticky on the part that extends below the flap

Add 3D Hearts

Peel liner off a small heart from 3D Foam Hearts. Place gold foil from 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foil over the heart and rub firmly to transfer foil to heart. Peel the heart from its backing and place it on the flap to one side of the chipboard sticker. Repeat to add another heart along the other side of the sticker.

Decorate Pockets

Add decorative stickers and chipboard stickers to the inside of the folio. Repeat the process to add small hearts inside folio on the pocket. Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside by applying the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet color side up to a medium 3D Foam Heart. Then place it on the vellum pocket. Lastly, add a word sticker over it.

Tags and Pocket Inserts

Cut 2 tags from Simple Stories paper and punch holes in tags.

Tie a silk ribbon bows on each tag and insert them into the folio pocket. Cut verse piece from a patterned paper and tuck in the other pocket.

Gift Card Folder

Cut a piece of patterned paper to 4 x 4 3/4 inches and score 2 1/2 inches from the short end and fold. Round corners with a corner punch. Tuck into vellum pocket to hold a gift card.

Close Folio

To close the folio, fold the left flap down, fold the folio in half and fold the flap with ribbon to the front. Tie the ribbon in a bow, tuck the folio in an envelope to give or mail.

Dimensional Hello Slimline Card

Posted on September 11, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and easy little tutorial on how I created this Dimensional Hello Slimline Card. Here are all of the details.

Dimensional Hello Slimline Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hello Slimline Card Base

First die cut the scalloped slimline card front from white cardstock, then die cut the circle openings. Next, cut a mat for the card front also using white cardstock. Using Distress Oxide Inks and a blending brush I added color to that white cardstock mat.

Stamp the little animal images onto white cardstock, and add color using Zig Clean Color Markers and a waterbrush. Stamp the card sentiment in the bottom right hand corner of the die cut front piece. Then using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix, add the little animal pieces to the inked mat using the die cut front as a guide.

Add the die cut front piece to the inked mat of the card using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Adhere the Dimensional Slim Line card front to the white cardstock card base using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Add the “Hello” die cut sentiment to the card using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
