Flower Bouquet Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Flower Bouquet Card. This simple yet elegant card is suitable for many occasions, depending on the sentiment.

I would love to share how I use adhesives to handle delicate items on a card creation.

Flower Bouquet Top Card Panel

To create the panel, start with a stencil by first temporarily adhering it to a lilac cardstock with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. It prevents the stencil from shifting when applying purple ink with an ink blending tool.

Simply rub the dots off with your finger…there’s no damage or stain on the cardstock surface.

Create the Bouquet

Die-cut the stems from green cardstock and the flowers from white cardstock. Roll the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on the back of the stems. The adhesive covers the stem and skips the spaces in between. Adhere them to the card panel.

Designer’s Note: Place a scrap piece of cardstock under the die-cuts to protect the work surface, just in case. Lastly, place Adhesive Dots Micro on the white flowers and secure them on the stems.

Card Base

To layer the card base, mat the lilac card panel onto a kraft panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Using the same adhesive, place the layered panel onto a white card base.

Finishing Touch

To embellish, I centered yellow Rhinestones into the flowers. Tie a satin bow and secure it with the Adhesive Dots Medium.

And voilá, the Flower Bouquet Card is ready to be sent. Designer’s Tip: The card can be themed with specific occasions, simply add a sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this Flower Bouquet Card tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Arch Friendship Card

Love a good purple card! So I thought I would create an Arched Friendship Card for a long distance friend. Hi, Margie here today and I hope you can use this idea for your next card creation!

Arch Friendship Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Arch Card Front

Fold a piece of 8.5 x 5.5 in. white cardstock in half to create a side fold A2-size (4.25 x 5.5 in.) card. Trim the purple patterned paper to 4.25 x 5.5 in. to cover the card front. Apply a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of the patterned paper card panel. See How to Use Adhesive Sheet video.

Before placing the panel on the card base. I do one step to keep the card base from peeking out from behind the panel. Designer’s Tip: Ink the edges of the patterned paper panel and card front with matching ink color. This helps to keep the edges uniform.

Arch Friendship Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Arch Design

Nest two arch dies together to create a frame and place on a 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. Make sure to secure the dies and sheet with washi tape. This will prevent slipping in the die-cutting machine. Next, die-cut and center it to the card front.

Arch Friendship Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Creative Sheets

Remove the top liner of the arch and place gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors set over the exposed adhesive. Make sure the color side is facing you and gently rub/tap the color into the arch. Remove the foil to reveal the color – beautiful! Reapply foil in missed areas.

Arch Friendship Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Elements

Die-cut the leaves in white cardstock and rosette flower pink patterned paper. Designer’s Tip: light mist the flower with water to soften the paper fibers to easily roll and bend the petals. Secure the flower base with Adhesive Dots Large. Determine placement of the floral elements in the lower left corner of the arch and adhere all with the Adhesive Dots Large.

The Sentiment and Sparkle

Stamp and die-cut a sentiment strip onto white cardstock. Place a 3D Foam Strips on the back and add it towards the inside top of the arch. Using Adhesive Dots Micro, add rhinestones and sparkle around the card front.

Patchwork Note Card

Hi, Judy here today! This Patchwork Note Card is made with 1-inch squares of patterned paper adhered to cream cardstock featuring Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. It’s a great design to use up small scraps of patterned papers. By adding a different sentiment, this card can easily be made for other occasions.

Patchwork Note Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the Patchwork Card Papers

Create the card base by folding in half a 5.5 x 8.5-inch rectangle from cream cardstock to form an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5-inch) standard base.

Cut a 3.25 x 4.25-inch rectangle and a strip measuring .375 x 2.75-inch from the same cream cardstock.

From three different patterned papers, cut four 1-inch squares for a total of 12 squares.

To mat the patchwork panel, cut a 3.75 x 4.75-inch green patterned paper rectangle.

Make the Patchwork Design

Partially peel back liner on Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. and place squares on adhesive. Replace the liner and rub over all squares on the front and back. Remove liner, place scrap paper over squares and rub to transfer excess adhesive from between squares, and remove.

Peel a square from adhesive and place on 3.25 x 4.25 inch cream rectangle. Continue to place squares on cream cardstock leaving a tiny space between each one. Squares can be repositioned if not pressed too firmly in place. Once all squares are in place rub firmly to set. An adhesive eraser can be used to remove any excess adhesive along edges of squares.

Mat the Panel

Patchwork Note Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back and fasten to green patterned paper. Then apply adhesive to the back of it with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and fasten it to the card front.

The Sentiment

Patchwork Note Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamp sentiment on narrow strip of cream cardstock with Twilight ink. Punch .125 inch hole in left end. Thread ribbon through hole and tie a bow.

Patchwork Note Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place small squares of Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of sentiment strip, peel liners and fasten to card front.

Hopping By to Say Hello

Hi, this is Jingle here today and I am Hopping By to Say Hello with this fun spring shaker card! Shaker cards are so easy to create when you use the 3D Foam Circle Frames White. I used the absolutely gorgeous Graphic 45’s Spring Is In the Air Collection Pack. I fussy cut the bunny right out of one of the paper designs – its hop is just too cute not to use!

The Shaker Feature

To create the shaker portion, die-cut a circle from the pretty blue patterned paper and adhered that to my card panel using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser.

Then add one of the 3D Foam Circle Frames as a ring around that circle. Cut the white patterned paper and die-cut the circle before adding a sheet of acetate behind the window with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser.

Add sequins inside the foam circle frame. Finally, apply some Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. to the back of the white panel around the opening and adhere it over the filled shaker and the rest of the panel.

The Hopping Bunny

Fussy cut the bunny and adhered her to the card front using the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Then add the sentiment strip, trimmed from one of the postcard sheets in the paper pack, using Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. The whole panel is mounted on a pink panel to make it pop off the card base!

Birthday Stars Card

Hello, Crafty Friends! If you are like me, the one occasion I am always sending cards out for is birthdays! Because of this, I always like to have a few on hand that are ready to go! Teri here and I’m going to show you how I put together my latest, Birthday Stars Card, in the stash!

Birthday Stars Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This card came together quickly with 3D Foam Stars, Crafty Foam Tape, Metallic Transfer Foil, and a few basic cardmaking supplies!

Create the Birthday Stars Card Panel

Start by cutting a panel of white cardstock to place on a card. You’ll want to cut a frame out of it. Use a rectangle die or a paper trimmer to do so! Set the panel on your card. Use the opening as a guide to randomly apply some 3D Foam Stars to the card base.

Birthday Stars Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

Remove the panel from your card. Apply the brown foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Nature Colors to the 3D Foam Stars. Remember to face the foil color to you. Peel off the top liner and rub to transfer the color. Add a few random pearls or gems to the design.

Birthday Stars Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellish the Cardstock Panel

Take your cardstock panel and blend several ink colors onto it. Flip the panel over and apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Dispenser to it. Set a piece of tulle over the window opening. Trim the excess tulle.

Use pieces of Crafty Foam Tape and place them around the window opening. Designer’s Tip: If you want more dimension, consider stacking up the Crafty Foam Tape to create two layers. Adhere your panel to your card.

Add the Sentiment

Cut a small rectangle of cardstock. Stamp a sentiment on it and mount it onto your card, slightly over the window opening. Use Crafty Foam Tape to make it really pop off the card.

I hope you are inspired by today’s Birthday Stars Card tutorial to make a few birthday cards to keep on hand for yourself!

Happy Creating!

Frosty Layout

Hi everyone! It’s Ali here today! I’m super excited to share this fun Winter layout, Frosty, featuring the Adhesive Dots Micro—perfect for using on those enamel dots to decorate that big snowflake! Jeff and I attended the Snow Sculpture competition in Lake Geneva and were in awe with all that talent.

Frosty Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Frosty Layout Back Story

For our frosty photos, I used an Echo Park collection and used a cut file title. To add dimension to the title, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.!  Plus, I added the 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind my stickers to pop off the page.

Final Element Details

I also used the Adhesive Dots Micro to adhere those cute enamel dots to my snowflake in the title. These little dots are fabulous to work with and are strong enough to hold down heavier materials—even though they’re small, they are mighty! 

Stay Chill!

Thinking of You Double Z-Fold Card

A creative friend made this super fun fold card so I wanted to give it a try. The Thinking of You Double Z-Fold Card is perfect to send to a special friend for a pick me up. Hi, Margie here today! Let me show you how.

Thinking of You Double Z-Fold Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Double Z-Fold Card Base

On a piece of 11 x 4.25 in. patterned paper, score on the long side up (11 in.) at 2.75 and 5.5 in. Burnish the score lines. Fold in half at 5.5 in. and fold in quarter at 2.75 in. in the opposite direction to form a Z shape.

Cut a piece of 11 x 3 in. patterned paper and repeat the score and fold step. Flip the 11 x 3 in. patterned paper over to the B-side pattern. Make sure the long scored piece is on the left side as pictured above. Set them aside.

Mat Pieces

With a piece of soft blue cardstock, cut one piece at 5.5 x 2.5 in. and one piece at 2.75 x 2.5 in. Using a piece of white cardstock, cut one piece at 5.25 x 2.25 and one piece at 2.5 x 2.25. Emboss the 5.25 x 2.25 in. white cardstock.

Embellish the Thinking of You Z-Fold Patterned Paper Strip

Adhere the embossed panel to the 5.5 x 2.5 in. soft blue panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. Next, add on all four corners a Creative Photo Corner Silver and adhere the panel to the 11 x 3 in. patterned paper strip with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Stamp and cut a sentiment strip on a soft blue cardstock. Pop up the sentiment on the embossed panel with 3D Foam Strips.

At one end of the strip, add a small heart from the 3D Foam Hearts and remove the top liner. Cut a piece of blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and wrinkle the piece. Place it on top of the heart (color side facing you). Gently rub the foil to transfer the distressed color to the heart. Cut a piece of green foil from the same set and place over the distressed foil heart. Peel off the foil to reveal a shiny marbled heart accent!

Embellish the Middle Section

On the middle section of the patterned paper strip, place a small, medium and largest heart from the 3D Foam Hearts and remove the top liners. Repeat the foiling steps (solid + distressed type).

Finish Off the Last Section

Stamp a sentiment in the center of the 2.5 x 2.25 white cardstock and adhere to the 2.75 x 2.5 in. soft blue cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. Add on all four corners a Creative Photo Corner Silver. Secure the panel to the patterned paper strip with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Thinking of You Double Z-Fold Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Card

Apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser on the back of each end of the patterned paper strip and attach to the card base. Make sure to fold up the strip and apply the adhesive on each end.

Make sure the card forms a Z-shape. Now it’s ready to be sent! I hope you enjoyed this fun fold card and make it for your friends!

Metallic Embossed Card

Hi, Judy here today! Using what I have in my kitchen, I took out my cooking foil to make this Metallic Embossed Card. Featuring the Adhesive Sheets, the card was embossed and WoW! So easy to do! Let’s see how it’s done!

Metallic Embossed Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Metallic Emboss Card Layers

Cut a piece of 7 x 6-inch black cardstock and fold in half to make a 3.5 x 6-inch card base. Next, cut a 4 x 6-inch panel and a 0.75 x 3.25-inch strip from black cardstock. Lastly, cut a piece of 5 x 7-inch aluminum foil.

Creating the Card Panel

Peel away the edge strip from one of the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in., align along the edge of the 4 x 6-inch panel, and press in place. Curl the Adhesive Sheet back and peel the remaining liner while pressing the Adhesive Sheet onto the cardstock. Burnish the sheet well with a bone folder to transfer the adhesive to the panel.

Lay aluminum foil on the work surface. Peel the liner from the panel and place the adhesive side down onto the aluminum foil. Turn it over and smooth the foil. Cut away excess foil along the edges of the panel.

Embellish the Panel

Metallic Embossed Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place the foiled cardstock in an embossing folder with the foil side up on the raised pattern of the folder. Pass it through a die-cutting machine to emboss.

Apply Paint

Add a light coat of black paint with a brush and work it into the embossed pattern. Allow the paint to partially dry. Designer’s Tip: Can’t wait? Use a heat tool to speed up the process.

Rub gently with a folded piece of paper towel to remove paint off the embossed pattern. Allow it to completely dry or again, dry with a heat tool. Stunning!

Secure to the Card

Apply adhesive to the back of the embossed panel with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and attach to the card front.

The Greeting

Stamp a greeting with the Versamark ink on the 0.75 x 3.25-inch black cardstock strip. Cover it with silver embossing powder, remove the excess, and heat with a heat tool to emboss. To frame the sentiment, press an edge of the strip onto the Versamark ink pad, cover it with silver embossing, remove excess and heat emboss. Repeat for all edges of the greeting strip.

Finally, cut a piece of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. and place it to the back of the greeting strip. Peel the liner and secure it on the card front.
