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?

Countryside Fall Card

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.

Countryside Fall Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base

From white cardstock form 4.25 x 5.5 inch card. Cut dark Khaki brown paper 4 x 5.25 inches

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back and fasten to the card front. Set aside.

Cut Frame and Background

Align Stacked Postage die with largest Stacked Tiles, Rectangles die in center and tape to white cardstock. Use a die-cutting machine to cut the frame.

Cut a rectangle of light blue using larger Stacked Postage die and die cutting machine.

Fasten Frame to Background

Apply 3D Foam Strips to the back of the white frame. Remove liners and fasten to the light blue background.

Countryside Pieces

From white cardstock cut a piece to fit Countryside die.

Remove the liner and apply a piece of Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch the same size as white cardstock to the back. Place Countryside die on white cardstock and pass through die cutting machine to cut.

Color Pieces

Color buildings, trees, birds and leaves with markers. (Designer Tip: I find it easiest to leave the small pieces in place to color).

Place Pieces in Frame

Arrange buildings as desired in the frame. Peel liners from the back of buildings and press them in place. Fasten small tree in the frame. Peel liners from birds and fasten to the large tree. Peel liner from large tree and press in place on the frame.

Print greeting on white cardstock using computer and word program. Trim around the verse.

Cut small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix in half and apply to the back of greeting. Remove liners and press in place on the frame.

Sweet & Simple Thank You Card

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.

Patchwork Follow Your Heart Card

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.

Patchwork Follow Your Heart Card by Linda Lucas for 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.

Adhere to the card front using E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser, slightly angled onto the Keepsake Envelopes. Glue a button to the centre of the bow.

You are Essential to Me Cards

Posted on October 7, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, all! Has the Pandemic got you staying home and wanting to craft more? Teri here with a couple of “easy to make” handmade cards for essential workers, as well as the essential people in your life!

You are Essential to Me Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These cards are a great way to thank those workers out there, who continue helping others. They are also a fun way to make the essential people in your life smile… with a Pandemic twist!

Create the Essential Card Elements

Start by cutting three of the same “Smile” words from cardstock. Use your markers to add a little color to one of them. I wanted an artsy look so I covered it with light blue and then added some darker blue coloring to the bottom.

Stack the words up and adhere them together and then onto the mat. Rather than using a dot over the “i”, use a sequin or gem!

Stamp and die-cut a couple of critters with masks on. Color them in with markers.

Adhere a panel of patterned paper onto a top folded card. Temporarily set the die-cut word onto and stamp an additional sentiment onto the card. Permanently adhere the die-cut to your card with 3D Foam Strips. These are great because you can cut them up to fit your word perfectly.

Add your stamped critters to your card. Use foam to make one of them pop.

Complete the card by adding some adhesive hearts and flock, as well as some additional sequins.

Essential Card Take 2

You can easily change up the design of your card by using different stamped critters. Here I used three different critters as opposed to just frogs.

Remember, if you don’t have a stamp of a critter with a mask, try improvising. Find a critter stamp and then draw a mask onto it with a pen. Simply draw a rectangle and add a few strings to it. The sky is the limit when it comes to creative possibilities!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to make some cards of your own!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

School Days All Occasion Card

Posted on October 5, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an all-occasion card, using school-themed papers! Can you tell? Thought it would be nice to use this card when corresponding with a teacher, school staff or administrator. Using Creative Photo Corners Gold and Metallic Foil adds a sparkling touch to the card. It’s very easy to make. Let me share my process with you.

School Days All Occasion Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the School Days Card Panel

Start by trimming 2 pieces of patterned paper to the same width. Adhere both pieces onto a green card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Fussy cut a pencil border from patterned paper. Then adhere to the card panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Wrap a piece of green satin ribbon around the card panel and secure the ends to the back of the panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Place the card panel onto a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellishing with the Creative Photo Corners

Now for the fun part! Embellish the School Days card with Creative Photo Corners Gold. It is a unique way to create interest on a card front. Simply tuck them under the satin ribbon on both the top and bottom sides of the ribbon.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Concept

This concept brings the adhesives from between the layers of papers to the outside to create an embellishing element! No more hiding! Let me show you…

Place some Adhesive Dots Micro on the centers of the designs leaving the liners on until ready for the next step. Pick a gold color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. Cut the sheet into a small piece just enough to cover the area.

Remove the liners from the adhesive dots and place the foil color side UP over them. Gently rub with your fingertips to transfer the color. Remove the foil and done! No special machine or tool. If you see any missed areas, simply reapply with the foil.

Lastly, adhere a satin bow to the card with Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft.

Voilá the School Days All Occasion Card is ready! Designer Tip: Add a sentiment to the card to turn it into a specific occasion card.

Wishing you happy crafting!

Adventure Awaits Travel Tags

Posted on October 3, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with four Adventure Awaits Travel Tags using Safe Travels by Simple Stories and Creative Photo Corners White. Adding a fun border is easy with Creative Photo Corners White. This idea can be used on cards, scrapbook pages, and more!

Adventure Awaits Travel Tags by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adventure Awaits Tag Base

To start the tags you will need to cut four sheets of coordinating pattern paper (12 X 12) into four strips, two 3 X 12 and two 3 1/4 X 12. Cut the strips in half (6 X 6) and you will have eight strips of paper that will make four tags.

Adhere the smaller tag to the larger tag using Crafty Foam Tape White, creating four Adventure Awaits Travel Tags.

Creative Photo Corner Border

1. Place the Creative Photo Corners White between the two layers of pattern paper and trim off the extra from the side of the tag.
2. Rub the back of the Creative Photo Corners White with an Embossing Powder Bag and the Creative Photo Corners White will no longer be sticky.

Add Layers

1. Add the background die cuts, to the tags, using E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
2. Over lap the smaller die cuts and adhere with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Creates dimension and looks great!
3. Add the words using the 3D Foam Strips. Punch a tag hole, add a reinforcer and tie with twine to complete the tags.

Thanks for stopping by.

Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts

Posted on October 1, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Happy October 1st! Jamie here with you to start off October with a cute Halloween card that’s a little sparkly and a little spooky. I’m happy to share this Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts card with you so let’s get started!

I love glitter and bling! With the help of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and their adhesives, it’s easy to get everything to stick!

Spooky BOO with Sparkly Ghosts by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a Spooky Boo Card Background

I started off making a cloudy background with pink and gray inks using blender brushes. It’s a beautiful background against the Halloween theme. Set aside to dry. Let’s work on the panel.

Sparkly Ghosts Panel

Now for the super-easy way to add ghosts and sparkle. Cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4x6in Adhesive Sheets to 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″. Next, place on the same size black cardstock. Remove the top liner of the Adhesive Sheet and place white glittered ghost die cuts on the exposed adhesive sheet as desired. Cover the cardstock with black glitter and rub to secure the glitter. Repeat the step until it’s completely covered in glitter.

Assemble the Spooky Boo Card

Attach the ghost panel to a slightly wider purple panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then place it on the left side of the cloud card front using the same adhesive. Mat the card front onto a slightly larger black panel and finally, onto a purple card base.

“BOO” was die-cut from an alphabet stencil and popped up on the card using 3D Foam Squares Micro White. These foam squares make it really easy to pop up pieces that have thin lines, I love them!! For a touch of interest, add black enamel accents randomly in the clouds. And that’s it! So Fun!

National Coffee Day Hop with Coffee + Donut Scrapbook Page

Posted on September 29, 2021 by Margie Higuchi

It’s National Coffee Day and we’re excited to be part of the National Coffee Day Hop with the Coffee Lovers Community! The Coffee Lover’s Blog brews up inspirational coffee-related posts. Read to the end for a chance to win our ADHESIVE GIVEAWAY!! Who are the Coffee Lovers? They are a coffee-loving (or tea or cocoa) group of card makers that’s open to everyone. Margie Higuchi shares a scrapbook page that may bring back memories!

Edit to Add: National Coffee Day Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to Laurie R.! 🎉

Edit to Add: Simple Stories Feature Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winners, Amanda W., Connie J. + Debra R.! 🎉

If you didn’t know… Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L is featuring our friends at Simple Stories until the end of September. To commemorate, we are giving away three sets of adhesives and paper pack packages. First, read Margie’s FUN scrapbook page to the end. Then read about our giveaway details (National Coffee Day Hop and then Simple Stories at the very end)!

Coffee & Donut Scrapbook Page

Hello and welcome! It’s Margie to celebrate National Coffee Day with the Coffee Lovers Community and you! It’s natural to think that coffee goes well with donuts, right? Well, do you remember Mister Donuts? Maybe I am aging myself – LOL! Sadly, there is only ONE place in the U.S. – Godfrey, IL. BUT it is alive and well overseas. Go figure! I created a scrapbook page of my visit to one in Japan. Grab a cuppa and see how I put it together!

Coffee & Donut Background Prep

My Coffee & Donut scrapbook page is on a 12 x 12-inch Kraft Cardstock. Cut a piece of 12 x 12-inch patterned paper in half to 6 x 12-inch. Use one half and set aside the other for another project. Turn the paper to its backside and hand tear the paper (tear it towards you). Continue to stress it by folding over to the front about a half-inch and secure it with E-Z Runner® Micro.

Then adhere the distressed piece to the 12 x 12-inch Kraft cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong.

Layer Embellishments

Wasting not even the product strip of the patterned paper, I cut off the patterned design to create strips to embellish the bottom of my image. I used the collection’s washi tape to secure two strips side-by-side and then Adhesive Lines to adhere the red strip to the center. The other embellishments were from the ephemera pack and secured with a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong and 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Journaling

Cut a cut-a-part to create a journaling box and write your comments in. I penciled and trimmed mine as it will be tucked behind the picture. Secure it with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong.

Make the Coffee & Donut Title

Using the 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small White sheets, I die-cut the letters for my title. Love this idea because it customizes your title as well as pops it up!

Now for the FUN part – foiling the title letters! Once I place the letters down on the page and remove the top liner, I covered a piece of silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographics color side UP to rub the foil to transfer the color to the letter. A technique we call Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It is using adhesive as an embellishment rather than hiding between layers of paper.

Hello friends! September always makes me think of back to school! Photos of my granddaughter’s first day of school inspired me to put together this First Day of School scrapbook page. All the papers. stickers and more in the Simple Stories Collection’s Essential Kit “School Life” along with adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L were perfect for this page. I simply added black and white cardstock and die-cut letters and number.

First Day of School Scrapbook Page by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Choose First Day of School Background Paper

First of all, I chose striped patterned paper and pencil paper for the background. Stripe paper is cut 10 x 10.75 inches and layered over pencil paper with a narrow strip of orange added to the left edge. Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to fasten all papers together.

Dimensional Number and Letters

Next, I cut number 3 and letters for “rd grade” and letters for the name “Lauren.” To make these, peel white liner from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black, and fasten black cardstock to 3D foam. Position dies on cardstock side and use die cutting machine to cut letters and number. This technique makes dimensional letters/number that are adhesive backed stickers.

Peel liners from letters and place letters from name on Simple Stories “School Life” Journal Bit. Add chipboard star and cardstock star sticker. Cut black cardstock mat and fasten to the backing using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive.

Cut a strip of ruler paper and fasten across the bottom edge of stripe paper on scrapbook page using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Remove liner from number 3 and press in place. Add letters “rd grade” by removing liners and pressing in place.

Photo Arrangement

Cut white cardstock mats for each photo and fasten to the back of each photo using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Arrange photos on the scrapbook page and temporarily hold in place using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. Arrange other pieces to determine the layout. Permanently secure the two photos behind the main photo using E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back.

To fasten the main center photo cut 3D Foam Strips Large White to fit and apply on back. Remove liners and press photo in place.

Name Label

Cut pieces of 3D Foam Strips Large Black to fit label and fasten to back, remove liners, and press name label in place.

Add Strips

Cut strips of paper with “school life”, red ruler strips, and alphabet strips. Fasten “school life” strips with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

For narrow red ruler strips, use E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive and fasten in place. It’s perfect for narrow pieces!

To add some dimension, the alphabet strips are fastened with 3D Foam Strips which are narrow and work perfectly for these strips. Where the strip extends over the main photo, apply with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Secure the strips near the name label in the same way.

Add Stickers

At each end of a pencil, fasten small pieces of 3D Foam Strips, peel liners and fasten pencil across the photo with ends fastened to page. Apply a small piece of foam strips to the eraser sticker and fasten it near the photo corner. Peel liner from back of heart sticker, add a small piece of Foam Strips at the left edge, and fasten to edge of the main photo.

Peel liner from “let’s learn” sticker and fasten to white cardstock. Trim close around the sticker to leave a narrow white border. Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to back, peel liners, and fasten across the edge of the smaller photo.

School Is Embellishment

Mat the orange “School is” piece with white cardstock using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Cut a black mat with narrow reveal and adhere with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Cut a strip of “school life” paper off a tag from the page of tags and a strip of stripe paper. Fasten both to the edge of the “School is” piece.

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to back of “School is” assembled piece, remove liners, and press in place between photos.

Make Journal Tag

Add a “school” sticker label to the top of the journal tag. Secure the heart chipboard stickers below the “school” sticker. Fasten the “take note” journal bit at bottom of the tag using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive. Write journaling with a black pen and use a calligraphy marker to write the date. Apply adhesive to back of journal tag using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and fasten to scrapbook page.
