Make a Wish Foiled Accent Card

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a foil accented Make a Wish card using a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It’s so much fun to use adhesive as an eye-catching accent for your card. I would love to share how I made the card, will you join me?

Make a Wish Foiled Accent Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Wish Embossed Card Panel

First, ink an embossing folder with soft blue ink by rubbing the inkpad softly over the inside of the embossing folder. Make sure you ink the correct side of the embossing folder: the lifted parts are the background parts to be inked.

Then put a piece of white cardstock between the inked embossing folder and run through your die-cutting and embossing machine using the sandwich (plates) as recommended by the manufacturer of the machine. Then remove the paper from the embossing folder.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil

To make the foiled accents, I cut a small strip of the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch sheet. Remove the yellow liner from the strip and dab the adhesive side of the strip onto the embossed cardstock. Repeat in random spots.

Next, take a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors and gently apply onto the adhesive spots on the embossed cardstock. Make sure the holographic pattern is facing upward.

This technique making your adhesive shine is also known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Isn’t this a fun effect?

Make a Wish Card Base

Trim the embossed and foil accented cardstock to a rectangular size and adhere on a gold card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then secure it on a white card base again using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing the card

Adhere a piece of white lace on the card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine. I use it because it turns transparent when it settles, and no adhesive residue shines through the lace! Stamp the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock, cut with scissors, and double-mat with gold and white cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Lastly, adhere to the card using again the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

And voila…your inked and foil accented card is ready to make someone a very happy receiver!

Happy Camper Birthday Cards

Posted on August 3, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a couple of birthday cards created using the 3D Foam Pennants. I think these would make anyone a Happy Camper! There is some paper piecing involved along with stamping. Sounds like fun, right? Let’s get started!

Happy Camper Birthday Cards by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Prep Work on the Happy Camper Birthday Cards

Stamp the trailers out on white cardstock, using Archival ink/Black and Cobalt. Trim out the trailer images and set them aside. Stamp the trailers a second time on coordinating pattern paper. Trim out the door, window, and the side of the trailer. Doing this will add color to the trailers, making for colorful Birthday cards.

Assemblying Layers

1. Adhere mat to white cardstock base using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
2. Apply Crafty Foam Tape 108′ to the pattern paper that will be on the card front.
3. Adhere the card front to the mat with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
4. You are ready to add the stamped trailer images. Add the paper cut outs to each trailer using the 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Setting Up Details

1. Adhere the trailers to the card front with the Crafty Foam Tape 108′.
2. Add the sentiment strips to the card front using 3D Foam Strips.
3. Create the pennants by putting 3D Foam Pennants on the back of pattern paper and then cut along the line of the 3D Foam Pennants. You will need six of these.
4. Remove the paper backing on the 3D Foam Pennants and place the pennants on the card front.

Floating Strips Card

Posted on August 1, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Hi there, Jamie Martin with you today, and I have a card featuring “floating strips”. So don’t throw those scraps away, this is a great way to use them up.

Floating Strips Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Floating Strips Circle

To make this floating piece, I die-cut acetate with a circle die and since I’ve been throwing away my scraps, I cut kraft color cardstock to 1/4″ and purple to 1/2″. You can make the strips any size you like and they don’t need to be the same.

To adhere the strips to the acetate I used E-Z Squares on the purple strips and the Dual Tip Glue Pen for the kraft colored strips since they were so thin. I used a grid to line up my strips and started with the purple strip in the center of the circle and then alternated the colors until the circle was filled leaving spaces in between the colors.

3D Foam Strips were used on the back of the acetate, these strips are nice and thin so they don’t need to be cut other than for length.

Creating a Background

Add interest to your white cardstock card panel by dry embossing it with a stencil.

It was then layered onto slightly larger purple cardstock and mounted to a white card using the E-Z Squares.

Adding Floating Strips Details

The floating strips were then popped up on the card and a white flower die-cut was glued to the left side of the circle using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Stamp the sentiment on kraft-colored cardstock with VersaMark Ink and emboss with white embossing powder. Pop up the sentiment with 3D Foam Strips.

Looking for a great way to make DIY enamel dots? Randomly add Adhesive Dots Micro to the card and place a Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic over the dots (color side up), rub the top and remove the foil liner.

Tall Happy Birthday Banner

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello friends! I had fun putting together this mini but Tall Happy Birthday Banner! The letters have dimensions to really stand out. Twine and buttons add charm!

Tall Happy Birthday Banner by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut Letters and Tags in the Birthday Banner

From aqua cardstock, cut 13 tags. (Approximately 5/8 x 3 1/8 inches)

Cut a piece of blue cardstock large enough for all the letters to be die-cut on. Next, cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White the same size. Remove liner from it and place the cardstock on it. Then, use alphabet dies and die-cutting machine to cut letters for “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”.

Fasten Letters to Tags

Peel the liner from the back of each letter and secure each to a tag. Use a ruler to help align letters to keep them evenly spaced from the bottom of each tag.

Attach Tags to String

Score each tag at 1/2 and 5/8 inches from the top. Bend tag on score lines.

Place a small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix at folded end of each tag.

Cut four pieces of twine about 24-30 inches long (better too long than too short). Put two pieces together for each word banner.

Place twine along the fold of a tag. Remove liner from Thin 3D Foam Square and fold the top of tag over twine and press to firmly attach. Repeat for the other banner (“HAPPY” letter tags).

Cut short pieces of twine and tie between each letter tag. Trim ends.

Add Buttons

Apply Adhesive Dots Medium to the back of each button. Layout buttons in color arrangement. Peel the liner from a button and place it at top of the tag. Repeat for all tags.

I really like how this banner turned out especially how the white of the 3D Creative Sheet shows on the sides of the letters. It will be perfect for a special one-year-old’s birthday party today!

Thanks for Visiting!

Great Pumpkin Advice in a Tag

Posted on July 27, 2021 by Guest Blogger

Hello crafty friends and welcome! I had so much fun creating this super fun Pumpkin Advice in a Tag. Featuring the Self-Laminating Tags with Loops, and the Advice From A Pumpkin stamp sent from The Rabbit Hole Designs, I thought what a cool bag tag for a new college student. It will be a positive reminder that can be attached to a backpack or bookbag.

Great Pumpkin Advice in a Tag by Jenn Gross for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pumpkin Advice in a Tag Step Outs

A – You need a piece of white coloring cardstock and orange cardstock, each cut to 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4″.

B – Stamp one of the pumpkin images from the Pumpkin stamps onto the white cardstock with Almond Cream Nuvo ink and color it with alcohol markers. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink to stamp the sentiments “Advice from a Pumpkin”, “Keep growing”, “Think big”, and “shine from within” over the colored pumpkin image.

C – Handwrite “Name”, “Email”, and “Phone #” evenly spaced on the orange cardstock and use a ruler to draw a line after each word with a 08 permanent black Zig Marker.

D – Remove one of the tags and a loop from the Self-Laminating Tags with Loop Kit.

E – Apply the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips on the backside of the orange cardstock and attach it to the back of the pumpkin image creating one card.

F and G – Follow the instructions printed on the release tape inside the tag to seal the cardstock in between the two laminate pieces to create the tag.

H – Attach the loop.

Backpack Name Tags

Posted on July 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Got kiddos heading back to school? Teri here, and here’s a fun idea for you! I created some backpack name tags for an adorable way to personalized and accent their backpacks!

Backpack Name Tags by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

They are so easy and so fun to create! And the best part is you can customize the tags, just for them!

Backpack Name Tag for Bo

Start by cutting a panel of cardstock to fit inside a self-laminating tag’s pouch. Decorate the panel with patterned paper.

Stamp an image on the panel. Color it in with markers. Use letter stickers (or letter stamps…. or your own handwriting) to spell out your student’s name! Add an adhesive star and cover it with flock or glitter. Complete the panel by drawing a few lines or dots on it with a pen.

Place the panel in the tag’s pouch and seal it up! Add the loop to the panel and hang it on your student’s backpack.

Backpack Name Tag for Sue

While this tag was made for a boy, it’s easy to switch up your design and make a backpack name tag for girl. Change your color scheme or use different stamped images. In this case, I just stamped a girl rather than a boy for it.

One for Ted with a Simple Design

When making your name tags, don’t feel you have to color in your stamped images! Coloring can be stressful and time-consuming! Instead you can also change up your design by simply stamping images on bright patterned papers, just like I did here.

So easy and so fun! The colorful background papers make the images pop!

I hope you are inspired to make a few backpack name tags for the students in your life! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Six Feet Away Dimensional Card

Posted on July 21, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing a unique and simple dimensional card, Six Feet Away. We’ve been through a lot this past year and a half ALL over the world. Why not share a little giggle with someone you love. LOL! See all of the details below.

Six Feet Away Dimensional Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dimension to Your Six Feet

Start by creating a simple layered card base using patterned paper and cardstock. I also matted the sentiment piece with white cardstock all using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Add the matted sentiment piece to the card using two layers of 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This will give lots of room to add different layers of dimension to this card.

To add the ephemera pieces around the matted sentiment of this simple dimensional card, I used a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to give space and dimension between the layers. Start by adding the lower layers and work your way up.

The finished project is a snarky little dimensional card that is sure to bring a smile to someone you care about.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Makes You Happy Mixed Media Card

Posted on July 19, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a fun project, Makes You Happy Mixed Media Card, using scraps from my stash and the wonderful Adhesive Sheets. They really make things easy when using a cutting die. Let me show you.

Makes You Happy Mixed Media Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The mixed media prints, used on this card, were created using a Gel Press and Fresco Chalk paint. They were hanging out in my stash, just waiting to be created with.

Happy Mixed Media Card Background

1. Decide on the area you wish to cut. I’m using a Postage Stamp cutting die. I’m only using the Adhesive Sheets on the medium die cut as shown in the photo.
2. Run the mixed media paper (with the adhesive sheet attached to the back of the paper) through the die cutting machine.
3. Remove the cutting die from the paper, peel off the liner and adhere to the larger die cut, as shown in focal photo.

Assembling the card

1. Secure the medium die cut to the large die cut using Crafty Foam Tape 108″.
2. Place the large die cut to a black cardstock mat with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
3. Stamp the medium die cut with a script texture stamp. Stamp the two butterflies and trim out. Adhere the butterflies to the medium die cut using 3D Foam Circles White Mix.
4. Stamp the sentiment on a strip of cardstock and attach to the card front using 3D Foam Strips Black. The sentiment was embossed with black embossing powder.

I love how my Happy Mixed Media card came together using these prints from my stash! Give it a try!

TV Frame Card Tutorial

Posted on July 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a unique dimensional TV Frame Card. I had so much fun making this TV frame card!

TV Frame Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

With the help of the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I was able to not only glue but also help accent the card. Are you curious how I made the card? Come on and join me and let me show you how to create the card!

Making the TV Frame

For the TV frame, I used a steel rule die and die-cut the TV from chipboard. Cover the TV by rubbing a brown chalk ink pad over it.

Next I used a black inkpad to accent the edges of the shape and to color the smaller parts. Because I want to use embossing powder, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to secure the embossing powder to the die cut.

Simply rub some glue over the shape and sprinkle the brown transparent embossing powder over it. Use a heating tool to melt the powder.

Now, I applied metallic wax over the TV antennas and the panels. Adhere the parts onto the TV frame using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. For the TV screen background, I adhered a piece of black cardstock (which I hand cut using scissors) to the back of the TV frame using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Lastly, adhere the woman figure into the TV screen with 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Making the Card Panel

First I cut out a piece of patterned cardstock to a rectangular shape. Then tear a piece of cotton flower paper and adhere it onto the card panel with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Next, alter the edges of the cotton paper with brown ink. Then adhere the panel onto a piece of corrugated cardstock with the EZ Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for affixing. Wrap a piece of beige ribbon around the card panel and adhere to the back of the panel using the EZ Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Now adhere the TV Frame embellishment onto the panel with the EZ Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finishing the Card

To embellish the card panel, I wrapped some twine around the card panel. Place a sentiment sticker onto a piece of corrugated cardstock and mat with a piece of black cardstock using the EZ Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser before adhering it to the card panel.

Adhere the card panel onto a white card base with the EZ Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then accent the card by stamping some accents onto the card using a black ink pad.

And voila your TV frame card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

You are Fabulous Background Tutorial

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Hi there, Jamie here with you today with a bright and cheerful You are Fabulous background card tutorial. Send out it to friends on these warm summer days! One thing that I love doing is to make my own backgrounds, that way no matter what I’m making, I don’t have to worry about having the right colors or styles of decorative papers.

You are Fabulous Background Tutorial by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating My Fabulous Background

The product I find myself reaching for the most to make my background is the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. because it is heat resistant – you can sprinkle it with embossing powder and heat it with your heat gun without losing its shape.

The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to attach the sun since I needed to make sure that the circle was in the right position, I needed to slide it around a bit.

Adding Dimension

Cards are always a little more fun with a bit of dimension, so I added 3D Foam Circles to the back of the watercolored bird. Even though this adds dimension, it can still be mailed without a problem.

The E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser was used to attach the panel to a larger decorative paper panel then onto a white card.

I hope you enjoyed this You are Fabulous Background card and give some of these techniques a try!
