Happy Colorful Birthday Card

Posted on August 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like colors? Teri here to show you how to make a bold birthday card by adding lots of color to the sentiment. To create this Happy Colorful Birthday Card, you’ll need a large sentiment die! It’s key to the design.

Happy Colorful Birthday Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a Colorful Birthday Sentiment

Start by applying a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet Medium to the back of a piece of white cardstock. I like my paper to be just a little bigger than the foam sheet.

Place the birthday sentiment die onto the panel and run it through your manual die-cutting machine. Then use markers to scribble color over the die cut sentiment! When I like to make colorful cards, I tend to use a rainbow color scheme! You don’t have to follow my lead! Instead, try using a couple of different colors together. Green, purple and blue is a nice color combo! Another fun combo is pink and orange…many possibilities!

Once you have added the color, remove your sentiment. Also, consider saving the leftover pieces from your sentiment to use on another card.

Embellishing the Card

Apply patterned paper to a folded card. Add your sentiment. Embellish the sentiment by adding a couple of colored stamped images to it.

Complete the card by adding a few adhesive stars topped with flock or glitter and some sequins!

You can easily take my design and create the exact same card. You can also take elements from my design and do your own thing! Just remember, adding color to your birthday sentiment will make the card pop. Adhering the sentiment to foam will make it pop even more!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Happy creating,

Metallic Background Layout

Posted on August 21, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun and sparkly little layout to share. Find out how I created this metallic background. Here are all of the details.

Metallic Background Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Metallic Background Design

First I started with a sheet of 12×12 black cardstock. Next, using the 1/2″ 3D Foam Circles Black Mix circles, I adhered one to the middle of each side of the cardstock. I then connected those dots using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Using the 1/2″ 3D Foam Circles Black Mix circles again, add them in from the corners of the layout about 1.5″.

Now add 3D Foam Circles Black Mix again just in a bit from the previously placed circles. Begin connecting those dots again on this Metallic Background using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

This design begins to look more and more Art Deco-inspired as I create this Metallic Background.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Remove the backing from the outer pieces of Crafty Foam Tape Black and add the fine gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.

Remove the backing from the inner Crafty Foam Tape Black square, and the outer 3D Foam Circles Black Mix and cover them with the fine silver Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. The metallic background is coming together. Cover the first 3D Foam Circles Black Mix placed in the same gold Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors as already used.

Mat the 2 photos in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and add Creative Photo Corners Gold. Adhere the photos to the Metallic Background using 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black. I created the simple little title using letter stickers matted in coordinating cardstock. Then adhere to the layout using the small 3D Foam Circles Black Mix.

The final touch is to add a little extra sparkle by way of pretty sequins and Adhesive Dots Micro.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Hello Striped Card

Posted on August 19, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a Happy Hello Striped Card background idea that uses Foam Crafty Tape 108′ for sizing and dimension. It sounds complicated but it isn’t, just takes some crafty time. Get your favorite patterned paper and let’s get started.

Happy Hello Striped Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Hello Card Background Steps

1. Cut patterned paper into strips, adhere Foam Crafty Tape 108′ to the strip of paper and attach at an angle on the card front. You could do any direction you want, up and down , side to side or make up a totally different pattern.
2. Once the strip is down, turn over the paper and cut off the hang over on each side.
3. Continue on using different papers that coordinate together doing step 1 & 2.
4. Add very small, thin strips, where more color is needed, adhering with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Assembling the Card

1. Adhere the stripped card front to a folded card base using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
2. Stamp out Robin bird, color and trim out. Stamp out sentiment and use a die to cut the strip into a rectangle shape for the card front. Attach the sentiment strip using the 3D Foam Squares Black Small. Cut an oval mat for the center of the card. Adhere the Robin bird inside the oval shape using the 3D Circle Black Mix to complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you put this technique to the test and send a Happy Hello to someone special!

Framed Birthday Card Tutorial

Posted on August 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an easy-to-make framed birthday card. I always like to have some birthday cards in my stash… always handy when you need to send a card last minute!

Framed Birthday Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With 3D Foam Strips it’s ever so easy to adhere dimensional frames to a card. Wanna join me in making this framed birthday card? Let’s get started!

Making the Card Base

First, fold a piece of white cardstock in half to create a square card. Then adhere to a piece of patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. This is all you need to create the base card.

Creating the Frame

For this card you need two die cuts. First die-cut and emboss a square shape from white paper. Then die-cut and aemboss a frame from gold cardstock.

To keep the two metal cutting dies in place I used some washi tape. Now use some 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere the white die-cut square onto the card base. Then adhere the frame over the white square and tuck one corner under the white die-cut square. To adhere the golden frame I used 3D Foam Strips.

I trimmed the 3D Foam Strips using scissors to fit the frame.

Finishing the Card

Adhere a sentiment onto the frame using a piece of 3D Foam Strips. Then adhere some mulberry flowers and leaves onto the card using Adhesive Dots Mini for adhering. And finally tuck some stamens under the leaves and adhere using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

And voilá, your framed birthday card is ready.

I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Cool Techno Birthday Card

Posted on August 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! I put together a Cool Techno Card today with 3D Foam Circle Frames with a circuit board background to inspire me to create a unique birthday card. See the 3D Foam Micro Squares? Heat emboss those in red to form little “diodes”. What a fun card!

Cool Techno Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cool Techno Card Panel

Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to fit the embossing folder. Use die-cutting machine and embossing sandwich to emboss circuit pattern on cardstock.

Mist with Distress Oxide Prize Ribbon Spray. Mist lightly with water. Use a heat tool to dry completely.

Rub Distress Archival Black Soot ink pad directly over the embossed piece to apply ink to raised design. Keep ink pad flat and use light pressure continuing to apply ink until all details are inked. Heat set the ink and trim to 4.125 x 6 inches.

Add Circle Frames

Place 2.5-inch circle frame from 3D Foam Circle Frames Black over the circuit background. Press in place. Remove the liner and apply black embossing powder. Heat set with a heat tool. Add a larger 3D circle frame (about 3.25 inches wide) around the first circle. Place a smaller circle frame (about 1.75 inches wide) in the center. Press firmly in place.

Remove liner from small 3D foam circle frame, cover with black embossing powder, remove excess, and heat set. Designer’s Tip: A dry paintbrush can be used to brush away stray embossing powder before heat setting. Repeat for a large 3D foam circle frame.

Attach Micro Squares

Place 3D Foam Squares Micro Black on embossed circuit background. Use a tweezer if needed to place Micro Squares. Press firmly in place.

Remove liners from Micro Squares, cover with red embossing powder and heat emboss using a heat tool. Repeat as needed.

Assemble Card Base

Form 4.5 x 6.5-inch card from Kraft cardstock. Apply Twisted Citron ink along edges of the card front. Dry with a heat tool. From black cardstock, cut a mat that’s slightly larger than the embossed circuit piece. Secure the card layers together using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Stamp Greeting

Apply Twisted Citron ink directly from pad to scrap of Kraft cardstock. Dry completely with a heat tool.

Use a stamping duster over the inked paper to keep embossing powder from sticking in unwanted areas. Stamp greeting with Versafine Black Onyx ink. Cover with black embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss with a heat tool.

Cut greeting apart and trim around each word. Cut black cardstock mat for each word. Fasten each word to the black mat using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Fasten Greeting to Card

Position greeting on the card to determine placement.

Apply small squares from 3D Foam Squares Black to the back of greeting pieces on ends that fasten on the embossed background. Apply adhesive with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to ends that lap over circle frames. Remove liners and attach the greeting to the card front.

Place more 3D Foam Squares Micro Black near greeting. Apply embossing powder and heat emboss as previously directed.

Just Because Mixed Media Card

Posted on August 11, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet little mixed media style card to share. Here are all of the sparkly details on this Just Because Mixed Media Card.

Just Because Mixed Media Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Just Because Mixed Media Background

The first step to create this mixed media style card is to cut the white cardstock card front to 3.75×5. I use a little dab of the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to secure the card front to my craft mat. Then taped my chosen stencil down to the craft mat over the card front. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and a palette knife, I smeared the adhesive over the middle portion of the stencil. Let it sit for a few moments. Then remove the stencil, and add that glitter. Tap off the excess and let dry completely.

Other Card Details

While you are waiting for the mixed media card front to dry, stamp the chosen sentiment and the image onto white cardstock using black ink. I added color to the image using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Once dry, fussy cut out the stamped image and cut down the sentiment piece. This is my mixed media style card front once completely dry.

Assembling the Card

Mat the card front in grey cardstock, and adhere it to the white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next add the stamped sentiment and the fussy cut image to the card front using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

For the frame cut one full Scalloped Nested Oval using the largest die and recycled packaging. Adhere the stamped coloured and fussy cut image to the lower portion of the large Scalloped Nested Oval using E-Z Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser 150 feet.

Cut a coordinating frame using the largest two dies, with the smaller one inside the larger and run through the Die Cutting Machine. Apply 3D Foam Strips around the frame border line up the scallops before adhering.

Apply one Adhesive Dots Large to each end of the back of the sentiment, adhere the sentiment across the upper portion of the frame with the Adhesive Dots Large on either side of the dimensional frame.

Book Lovers Card Tutorial

Posted on August 7, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Got a few book lovers in your life? Teri here with a fun idea for you: Make a couple of book-themed greeting cards for them! You can use these cards to send notes or give them as gift sets. These cards are easy to make! The key is having some book-themed patterned papers to use.

Book Lovers Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Book Lovers Card Basics

Start by cutting a piece of patterned paper to fit on the card, and set a piece of patterned paper on the panel. Then make a border by placing several photo corners in a row.

Decorate the panel by cutting a few squares of patterned paper, specifically using a couple of book-themed ones. To make one of the squares stand out, I lifted it with 3D Foam Strips. The beauty of the strips is you can use one strip or a couple together. You can also cut them up to fit your needs.

The panel needed a little something so I made a piece of “faux” washi tape by adding some adhesive to the back of a strip of patterned paper. I tore the edges and placed them over the sloth square.

To complete the card, I mounted the panel to a base and then added a few stars that I coated with the flock. I also added a sentiment.

Design it Up a Notch

A fun way to kick up your card design is to add some stickers to it!

The pink book here is a sticker! I “de-stickered” it by rubbing it on my pants and allowing lint to get on it. Then I applied foam micro squares to it so it would pop when I adhered it to the card.

You are not limited to using book-themed patterned paper! You can also use book-themed journaling cards as I did on this one.

Don’t have any book-themed journaling cards? Print a favorite reading-related sentiment on cardstock and use it instead!

I hope you are inspired by these Book Lovers cards for the readers in your life! Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy crafting,
Teri Anderson
