Tis the Sea-son Card

Posted on May 25, 2021 by Guest Blogger

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to today’s blog. Although it’s early, I thought I would get a jump on a holiday card like this fun and adorable Tis the Sea-son Card. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I will show you how I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheet and glitter to make this sparkle!

Tis the Sea-son Card Step Outs

A and B: Die-cut three of the Inside Scallop Rectangle Stacklet dies with a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet in White from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. This creates a solid foam rectangle and two foam frames (set aside the smaller foam frame for another day).

C and D: Peel off the liner of one side of the large foam frame and sprinkle the green micro-fine glitter over the exposed foam adhesive. Tap off the excess glitter and set the frame aside.

E: Repeat the process with the solid rectangular foam die cut as above.

Building Details

F: Stamped out the images onto the Premium Marker Paper with Cream ink. Color them with Copic alcohol markers to create a no-line coloring look. Then die-cut each image from its coordinating die.

G and H: Peel off the backing from the large foam rectangle frame and center it to a 4 x 5 1/4-inch piece of Cool Pool cardstock. Note to keep the narrow side of the frame on the left side. Peel off the backing from the solid foam rectangle and position it toward the lower left side by that narrow side of the frame. Fill in the open space between the frame and the solid rectangle with glaze and set it aside to dry.

I: Position the seaweed Christmas Tree first and then add the rest of the seaweed, rocks, fish, and jellyfish to the card front. Make sure to leave the top left clear for the sentiment.

Assembling the Sea-son Card Front

J: Stamp the ’tis the season to be jelly sentiment on to vellum with watermark in, and heat set it with black embossing powder. Fussy cut the banner and attached it to the upper left of the card panel.

K, L, and M: Apply three strips of the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft to the back of the card panel, and center it on a white A2-size (5.5 x 4.25-inch) card base to complete the card.

I think these fun glittered frames add just the right amount of Christmas bling. As I continued to handle the card, I notice there was NO glitter rubbing off. Yay! No glitter except where you want it!!

With this Tis the Sea-son Card, I hope to inspire you to start your holiday cards EARLY! Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed learning an easy way to add some bling to your cards and creations!

Easy Grids of Circles Card

Posted on May 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Teri here with a fun way to use up the leftover negative pieces of 3D Foam Circles: Create cards with circle grids! These cards are easy to recreate!

Easy Grids of Circles Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Circles Grids

Start by taking the negative pieces of a couple 3D Foam Circles sheets and trimming them down so you have a couple grids. You can use a paper trimmer or scissors to do this. You might need take a few passes at cutting the foam, due to the height of it!

Cover a card with patterned paper. Place one of your “grids” on the card.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique

Apply flock or glitter to the grid. Make sure the foam is completely covered. I suggest running your finger over it to make sure there are no sticky spots exposed! If there is, dump a little extra flock (or glitter) onto the grid. Tap off the excess and DONE!

Final Details

Add to your card’s design by placing a sentiment on it, as well as a few embellishments. Use additional 3D Foam Shapes, I used the 3D Foam Pennants, and E-Z Runner® Stars with flock to round out the design. Don’t forget the sequins too for extra sparkle.

Finish your card with a piece of twine or floss! Adhesive Dots work great for holding bows in place so they don’t move around!

Go BIG with a Bigger Circles Grid

Here’s a second card created with a “grid” from another leftover negative!

The grid for this card is much larger than on my first card so I decorated some of the grid by embellishing the insides with stars, sequins and smaller circles. I also didn’t feel like using twine on this card so I went without! It would have looked great with twine though if I had decided to do so!

I hope you are inspired to give this “grid” technique a try next time you have a leftover negative piece of 3D Foam Circles! It’s a great way to get the most bang for your creative buck and let nothing to waste!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

Large Chevron Background Layout

Posted on May 21, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little Chevron Background layout to share. Here are all of the details.

Large Chevron Background Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mix & Match Patterns

This Chevron Background is a great way to mix and match patterned papers. The background is plain white cardstock. Then start with the largest chevron. I used a paper collection that I had mostly scraps left of, so start with the largest piece. I varied the pieces in widths as well. The first is 1″ wide, next is 0.75″ wide and the third is 0.5″. Switch up as you wish. Between some of the pieces I added strips of Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/8in, continuing with the same pattern. Add the paper pieces using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

To the pieces of Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/8in I added the gold Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.

Mat the 4×6 photo in white cardstock and add it to the Chevron Background using Crafty Foam Tape White. Then I added the heart embellishments using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I also added gold gems to the tips of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors chevrons, this hides any weird joints there might have been.

Add a few more mini phrases and gems across the Chevron Background, and voila! A super cute layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Permit Time for a Scrapbook Page

Posted on May 19, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a fun scrapbook page using 3D Foam Adhesives to adhere letters and embellishments to this special page. I haven’t created a scrapbook page in over a year and even though my pattern paper is not the latest and greatest, I had fun putting this Permit Time page together and that is what counts!

Permit Time for a Scrapbook Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The 3D Foam Adhesive makes the embellishments pop off the page and I love the look!! Besides the obvious, the embellishments will stay where they are placed which is what we (as scrapbookers) want.

Permit Time Scrapbook Page Step by Step

1. Adhere the two sheets of pattern paper together after trimming 1″ off of both sides of one of the pattern papers. I took 1″ off the orange polka dot paper and then adhered over the black polka dot paper using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser .
2. The border strips and photo were adhered using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser to the page front.
3. The 3D Foam Circles White Mix were used to adhere and give dimension to the die cuts.
4. The 3D Foam Strips were used to adhere the journal strips to the front of the page. Side note: these have quickly become a favorite product of mine. The are perfect for the journal strip sentiment for cards too.

Other Page Details

I adhered the 3D Foam Circles White on the edge of the die cut so the adhesive did not touch the photo. Love that there are two sizes in the package. Very handy!! I also used the NEW product 3D Foam Micro Squares White to adhere the letters along with 3D Foam Strips.

The 3D Foam strips were perfect to adhere the journal strips. The 3D Foam Strips are a great tool. They help with keeping the journal strips lined up…and easy. I love easy!!

I hope you try some of the 3D Foam Adhesives on your projects like my Permit Time Scrapbook Page.

Easy Floral Hug Card

Posted on May 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an easy Floral Hug Card. I love flowers and always have some flower cards for several occasions. Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin are simply the best when it comes to the invisible adherence of mulberry flowers.

Easy Floral Hug Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The card I made is very simple to make so it’s also suitable for beginner cardmakers. Who wouldn’t like to recieve a hug like this per post! Let me show you how I made my card.

Floral Hug Card Base

Start by trimming a piece of white cardstock to a rectangular size and then emboss the cardstock using an embossing folder. Then adhere the embossed cardstock onto a soft green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, adhere onto a white card base using, again, the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Add HUG Sentiment

For the HUG sentiment on the flower card, I used black chipboard letters. Then I cut (using a craft knife) some Thin 3D Foam into small stripes and adhered them to the back of the letters. Remove the liner of the 3D Foam and then adhere onto the card base.

Flower Embellishing

To embellish the card I used small mulberry flowers. Start by picking the flower colors you like for your card. Then put Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin onto the back of the mulberry flowers. Now take of the liner and affix the flowers onto the card.

For the smallest mulberry flowers, I used Adhesive Dots Mini. Finally, for a finishing touch, I adhered some rhinestones to the flowers representing the stamens. Designer’s Tip: If your rhinestones are not self-adhesive: simply use Adhesive Dots!

And voila…your Floral Hug Card is ready to send! Wishing you happy crafting,
Yvonne van de Grijp

Glittered Coffee Card

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Jamie Martin

I’ve created a square Glittered Coffee Card that has wonderful accents of sparkle with the help of adhesives. Hi there, Jamie here with you today and I have a card to send to a friend for a get-together over a cup of coffee. It’s so easy to add glitter to your background with Crafty Power Tape and Adhesive Dots Micro. Let me show you how I made this card.

Glittered Coffee Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glittered Coffee Stamped & Inked

Stamp the Layered Coffee Cup image on white cardstock, using pink and brown inks. Next, cut it out using the matching die. Set this aside.

Die-cut a Nested Square Stitched Die with white cardstock. Then stamp with the Freehand Square using brown ink. Apply two strips of Crafty Power Tape near the bottom of the panel.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter

Remove the top liner from the Crafty Power Tape strip. Sprinkle Copper Ultra Fine Glitter on the top, rub with your finger and remove excess glitter. Remove the liner from the second piece of Crafty Power Tape, sprinkle with Rose Ultra Fine Glitter, rub with your finger and remove excess glitter.

Stamp COFFEE in the top left corner of the panel with pink ink. Apply three Adhesive Dots Micro to the top of the panel and sprinkle with Copper Ultra Fine Glitter.

Assembling the Glittered Coffee Card

Layer the stamped panel diagonally onto a kraft color square panel using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then pop it on a kraft-colored card base with 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Note the base has a layer of decorative paper for interest. Place 3D Foam Circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the back of the coffee cup and pop it up on the card.

For the final touch, add white enamel dots to the kraft-colored panel. Your Glittered Coffee Card is done!

So Loved Hearts Card

Posted on May 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a So Loved Hearts Card with a combination of foil covered hearts and letters. This was fun to make with E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.

So Loved Hearts Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hearts Card Die Cut Sentiment

By cutting the letters for LOVED first, they can be used for placement of the hearts. Place letter dies on 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black to determine the size needed for the word LOVED and cut the foam piece.

Remove the liner on one side. Cover with the magenta foil (Color Side UP) from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Rub with your fingertips to transfer color to the foam and then peel the foil off to reveal! Repeat pressing foil in place if there any missed foil spots.

Dust with an anti-static pouch to help with the release when die-cutting. Align letter dies on the foam and die-cut the letters. Carefully remove letters from dies and set them aside. For the other part of the sentiment, stamp it using Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Use its coordinating die to cut into a strip.

Foiled Hearts for the Hearts Card

Using both sentiments as a guide, determine where to place hearts on a piece of 4.125 x 5.875-inch cardstock panel. Then apply the hearts with E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser leaving space between to add more hearts later.

Foil the hearts with the magenta foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Repeat the foiling steps from the LOVE sentiment.

Then add more hearts in the open spots around the foiled hearts. Foil with the fine silver from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.

Sentiment Placement

With the use of a ruler, position the LOVED sentiment. Starting with D, peel the liner back halfway from the bottom and lightly place it down. Continue to remove but be careful not to stretch it.

Then work on the other letters. A needle tool might help in guiding the letters in place. For the stamped and embossed sentiment, apply Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back, peel liners and adhere above the LOVED letters.

Assemble the Hearts Card

Cut a piece of 8.50 x 6-inch white cardstock and fold into a 4.25 x 6-inch card base. Then cut a piece of 4.25 x 6-inch black cardstock. Adhere it to the white card base using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Lastly, use the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser secure the hearts panel to the layered card front.

I hope my So Loved Hearts Card tutorial gave you some ideas for your next cardmaking project. Thanks for Visiting!

Simple Stars Card

Posted on May 11, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I am sharing a simple stars card that can be created in less than 30 minutes. A great option when you need a card in a pinch. Here are all of the details.

Simple Stars Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Simple Stars Card Instructions

First I gathered the basic layers of my card. I cut out the 3×4 printed sentiment from the Stargazer collection. Then cut a white cardstock mat, and the larger layer from black cardstock. The card base is a white cardstock A2. Add the sentiment to the white cardstock mat using Creative Photo Corners Gold. Next adhere that to the next layer using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Using the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser, I added them by hand across the top and bottom of the black cardstock layer of my Simple Stars Card. Then using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors, I covered the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser with the fine gold foil.

Attach the layered card front to the white cardstock base of this Simple Stars Card using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Wish on a Star Card

Posted on May 9, 2021 by Guest Blogger

Wish on A Star! Hello, my crafty friends. Jenn Gross here as a guest designer with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. They offer some amazing products and I am using their E-Z Runner® Stars and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for today’s project. These products will be used to make bling on this sweet card, Wish on a Star. You may recognize this card from the Whimsy Stamps Instagram Hop they did recently.

Wish on a Star Card by Jenn Gross for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wish on a Star Card Front

In step A, I stamped the Silver Fairy stamp on a piece of coloring cardstock. Then I colored using a combination of TriBlend and Copic alcohol markers.

Image B shows a piece of 4 x 5.25-inch dark night sky patterned paper with the Star Dangle stencil over the top. Then use Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink to stencil. Set it aside to dry.

In steps C and D, I positioned a star shape from the E-Z Runner Stars at the end of the runner and ran it over one of the stenciled stars. Ten stars were used on the stenciled card front.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

In steps E, F, G, H, and I, I share my foiling steps. From the Metallic Transfer Foils Sheet in Holographics, I chose the Fine Gold Glitter sheet. To make it easier to foil, I cut a strip. With the color side UP, place over one of the E-Z Runner Stars on the card front. Use your fingertip to rub and transfer the color to the star. Simply peel off to reveal a newly foiled star. Easy – no tools! Repeat this step with the remaining stars.

Layering Your Card Base

Images J, K, and L, I used Craft Foam Tape 108ft in White on the back of the card panel. Designer’s Tip: apply two strips in the middle and remove the release papers. Then apply foam tape to the four sides and turn back the corners of the release papers as shown in L. This makes it easier to center the card front onto the green A2 card base as you see in image M. Just press the card panel in the middle and peel back the release paper to secure the card front.

The Wish Sentiment

In steps N through P, I die-cut WISH using 3D Foam Creative Sheet from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit. It cuts like butter and with no residue on the metal die. Next, I gently removed the foam word and its release paper backing. Then placed it on the front lower right of the card pressing it in place.

Images Q and R, remove the top release paper, place a piece of gold foil from the Creative Embellishment Kit over it. Don’t forget – color side up! Repeat the same foiling step as the stars. Gently lift the foil revealing the gilded word “Wish.”

Finishing the Wish on a Star Card

As you see in images S, T, and U, attach the stamped Silver Fairy to the card front using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips. It’s ready to be sent out!

Thank you for stopping by! I love hearing from you. Let me know what techniques you enjoyed most from today’s Wish on a Star Card?

Faux String Art Celebrate Cards

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Sewing on handmade cards is really popular these days! But have you tried making a card with embroidery floss and thread without ever doing a single stitch? Teri here to show you how to do just that. Let’s started on these Faux String Art Celebrate Cards!

Faux String Art Celebrate Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My faux string art technique is so fun and so easy! All you need is floss, 3D Foam Circles and a few basic paper crafting supplies to create some really amazing cards.

Faux String Art Mechanics

Start by cutting two rectangles of cardstock. Mine are 5″ x 3 3/4″ each. Set one aside and set the other on your work surface. Use a pencil and ruler to mark rows along the side of the panel. You want to mark about 1/2″ in from the sides of panel and put marks at every inch mark.

Take two 3D Foam Circles, stack them up and adhere them at every inch mark.

Take pieces of floss or twine and wrap them around the circles. I used a rainbow color scheme but you can use any color combination you like.

Once you’ve wrapped as much floss as you’d like around the circles, add foam strips around the panel’s borders. Be sure to use two layers worth of strips so they are as tall as your circles.

Take your second paper panel and cut a rectangle out of it so you have a frame. Adhere it on top of the foam strips.

Embellish your string art by adding a few sequins or gems to it. Also, stamp a sentiment onto a strip of cardstock and add it to the panel.

Mat the panel on cardstock and then add it to a card. I felt my card was a little plain so I went one step further by applying a few adhesive stars and dumping white flock onto them. I love faux-embossed look it gives the panel.

Switch Up the Design by Adding More Rows

A fun twist on this technique is to add more rows of floss to your design.

For this card, I also wrapped the floss around the foam circles so it crossed itself. I think the look is really interesting.

I hope you are inspired by this faux string art technique to give it a try! Please leave a comment for me to stop by your blog and check your projects! See you again soon!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson
