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!

Gnome Card and Gift Tag Ensemble

Posted on October 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, all! Looking to make a special someone smile? Teri here to show you how to make a cute gnome-themed card and gift tag with an adorable Stampendous stamp! This card and tag are sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face!

Gnome Card and Gift Tag Ensemble by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Color and Flock on the Gnome Card

First, you’ll want to stamp the gnome image on cardstock. Color it in with markers or pencils. Set it aside.

Create a top-folded card and let’s add some texture with some flock! First, place a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape at the bottom of the card front. Remove the liner and cover it with flock. To secure, burnish the flock to the tape with your fingertips. When finished, just tap off the excess a few times on scratch paper.

Add the Sentiment and Finishing Touches

Mat your gnome image and mount it to the card. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and adhere it with 3D Foam Strips. Strips are great because you can easily cut them up to fit your sentiment strips, plus you can line up multiple strips to make a large strip.

Decorate your gnomes by adding a pompom to the tops of their hats by putting a dot on them and then adding flock. To give the card a hint of glitz, add a few sequins as well.

Your card is perfect as it is. Just add a handwritten sentiment inside it. You could also easily turn it into a gift card. Apply some repositionable adhesive to it and temporarily add a gift card!

Create a Tag and its Base

You can easily create a gift tag using the tips I shared today. Rather than creating a card base, make a tag by cutting a rectangle, trimming the top corners, and adding a hole.

Embellish the gnome by adding a pompom with flock to his hat. Just like with the card, try adding some sparkle to your tag by embellishing it with a few sequins too!

I hope you are inspired to make a gnome card and tag of your own! Thank you for stopping by today.

Happy creating!

Fun and Festive Card with Stampendous

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and festive card to share. Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? Well, here is a little inspiration featuring Stampendous stamps and your favourite adhesives. Here are all of the details.

Fun and Festive Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Started

Firstly, I cut the card front for my fun and festive card to 3.75 x 5-inch and stamped some background images. Then I stamped my other images onto a separate piece of white cardstock. I added colour to the images using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Fussy cut out the images stamped onto the separate piece of white cardstock.

Using Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool, I added colour around the edges of the card front.
I added Stickles to some of the background images, the lights, and the snow on the mountains. Next, stamp the sentiment onto the card front using black ink.

Mat the card front in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the layers together of this fun and festive card. Then add this to a white cardstock card base using Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.

Add the fussy cut images to the front of the fun and festive card using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Small Size and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix which gives your card so much more dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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

Coloring the Winter Gnomes

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
