Faux Metal Band Masculine Card

Posted on October 29, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here with a masculine card with a faux metal band created using 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White with gold holographic foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors. I grunged it up a bit so it’s not so sparkly! Yet, it still has a holographic shimmer!

Faux Metal Band Masculine Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Faux Metal Band Creation

Start with a piece of 4.25 x 5.5-inch of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White. Then cut a slightly larger piece of gold holographic foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.

Remove the top liner from the foam sheet and place the foil with the color side up on top of the exposed adhesive. Rub gently to transfer the color and peel it off. If there are any missed spots, re-foil the area. Repeat as needed.

To give the piece more depth, place the foiled foam piece in an embossing folder.

Run the embossing sandwich through the die-cutting and embossing machine.

Apply black paint over foiled foam with a make-up sponge. Wipe off excess paint with a paper towel or soft cloth. Repeat until you get your desired color over the entire piece. Trim the foam piece to 4.25 x 2.5 inches. Then use a permanent black marker to cover the white edges.

Use gray ink to stamp planks at top and bottom of 4.25 x 5.5-inch brown card. (Plank stamp is not big enough to stamp entire card front at one time. Align stamp with card edge and stamp across the top. Mask top with a scrap of paper. Align stamp with the same edge to stamp across the bottom so planks match. The band will cover where stamping meets).

Adding to the Card Front

I want to mat the top and bottom to anchor the faux metal band against the card front. To do this, cut two 0.5-inch strips of black cardstock.

Peel backing away from one long edge of the foam piece and align black cardstock strip with a narrow reveal along the edge. Repeat on the opposite edge. Trim strips even with the foam.

Apply E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to each of the black strip. Peel the liner from the foam and attach the faux metal foam to the card front.

Place a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in on the back of the ribbon. Secure it over the faux metal band. Trim ribbon ends even with card edge.

Finishing with the Sentiment

Stamp verse with Versafine Onyx Black on black cardstock. Heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Use die-cutting machine and matching die to cut verse strip.

Designer’s Tip: Stamp and heat emboss multiples of these to have on hand.

Place small squares of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix on the back of the sentiment strip and place it along the ribbon.

A Birthday Card

The 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White can easily be cut to any size including 2.5 x 4.25-inch which was used for this card. Since I had a leftover piece, I used it to put together another card, a slimline style.

The differences are the card size, the script stamp and the burlap strips. These pieces butt up to the faux metal band and secured using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. The sentiment is matted with brown and adhered flat with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser

I hope you found inspiration from my Faux Metal Band Cards today! Happy Crafting!

Social Distancing Flip Book

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Christine Meyer

What do you do when you have too many pictures of an event? Too many to put on one layout, or even two, or three layouts? Christine joining you today to show you how I created a Flip Book showcasing my daughter’s recent Social Distancing birthday!

Social Distancing FlipBook by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Flipbook itself came from Simple Stories, I just go to decorate it and put it together. In doing so, I used several adhesives that I will talk about today.

Social Distancing Flipbook Adhesives

First off I created the cover. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong to attach my patterned papers to the cover. I knew I needed the strongest possible option! Then I used some Crafty Foam Tape to pop up the “We’re in this together” sticker.

For my inside pages, I stuck primarily with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips. These made it quick and easy to assemble, without having to worry about it falling apart later.

On this page, I fussy cut the word “Lucy” out of another picture. Because it was so narrow, I used the E-Z Runner Micro to add the letters on.

Having the right adhesives on hand allowed me to add in extra papers behind my pictures instead of just slipping in pictures of cut apart cards.

My back page includes a large Keepsake Envelope to allow her to tuck in some trinkets and memory pieces from that day.

Social Distancing Flip Book Video

I do not have a full process video for this Social Distancing Flip Book but I do have a video that flips through every page and shows the whole thing. You can check that out below:

DIY Holiday Gift Card Holder

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Guest Blogger

Hello, it’s Sheri again with a personalized gift card packaging idea using empty paper rolls into DIY Holiday Gift Card Holders. They are super easy to make so get the kids involved! Let’s get started!

DIY Holiday Gift Card Holder by Sheri Holt for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

It’s only 2 months until the holidays so be sure to start saving those discarded paper rolls now. These will make great little decorations tucked into the tree as well.

DIY Gift Card Holder Base

Let’s create a rustic buffalo plaid DIY gift card holder box.

For the personalized tags, die-cut small circles out of white cardstock and initials out of 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small Black. Place the letters on the circles towards the bottom to leave room for the hole to be placed at the top. Sprinkle the adhesive foam letters generously with black glitter and press it in for complete coverage.
Use the MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser on the back
of each 2-1/2” x 6” strips of patterned paper to attach securely to each paper roll.
Placing the seam in the back, press
each of the wrapped rolls flat.
Lay the gift card on top and center to use as a guide to score the end of the roll to form the closure.

Finishing Steps

Insert your gift card and secure the flaps by wrapping with twine and attaching your tag. You can add simple extra elements such as a couple of pine sprig die cuts. It’s ready to give out!

I hope you were inspired to try this DIY Holiday Gift Card Holder this holiday season!

Easy Leaf Gift Tag Tutorial

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Teri here to show you how to create some Fall-themed gift tags! These are so easy to make and goes well with really, any occasion. But today I am sharing an easy leaf gift tag tutorial. So come on!

Easy Leaf Gift Tag Tutorial |by Teri Anderson fo rScrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These gift tags were unbe-“leaf”-ably easy to make and look great when added to gifts handed out during the Fall months. They also are fun to use to decorate Thanksgiving and Harvest dinner tables with.

Easy Leaf Gift Tags with Foam Shapes + Flock

Start by placing several 3D Foam Frames on different color patterned papers.

Trim the frames, leaving a border around each one. You can make the border as thick or thin as you’d like. Add some 3D Foam Leaves and Circles to the inside of your frame until you get the desired look.

To Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside, remove the liners from all the 3D Foam shapes and cover them with either flock or glitter. Make sure you burnish the flock or glitter onto the foam by rubbing your fingers over it until there are no sticky parts exposed. Tap off excess. It’s that easy!

Adhere your patterned paper panels to a rectangle piece of kraft cardstock. Add a stamped or handwritten sentiment strip to each tag. Any sentiment fitting your desired occasion for your tags will do!

Poke a hole through the top of each tag and add a little kraft jute to it.

Complete your tags by adding stitch marks with a pen. You can even make dots or add both dots and stitch marks!

Add Glitz to Your Tags

For a little sparkle, add a few sequins to your tags. Gems would work too.

Don’t limit yourself to decorating around the foam shapes. You can decorate the shapes as well by adhering a sequin (or two) onto them.

I hope you are inspired to create some easy leaf gift tags of your own. Add them to your Fall gifts or even decorate your Harvest table with them!

Happy creating,

Together Fall Layout

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello, autumn loving crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun Together Fall Layout to share. It features a dimensional background using some of my favourite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Here are all of the details.

Together Fall Layout By Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Together Fall Layout Basics

First, you will want to gather your patterned papers and start creating a simple background for this Together Fall Layout. The white cardstock is the base. Cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 7.5 x 12-inch and adhere up the middle of the layout using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Next, cut two strips of the plaid pattern to 0.75 x 12-inch. Adhere one strip to the bottom of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape108ft. Set the other aside for now.

Background Details

Cut many 1-inch patterned squares. There are five squares in each row, so I cut and piled the squares in the order that I wanted them to appear.

Also cut a strip of the polka dot pattern to 1 x 7.25-inch and adhered it to the bottom of the kraft cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Each row of squares are added using a 3D Foam Squares White Small Size in one corner, and E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser in the opposite corner.

Adhere to the Together Fall Layout with the foam square at the bottom, this lifts each square for that little bit of dimension.

Repeat this for each row, all the way up the kraft cardstock.

Once the squares reach the top of the kraft cardstock. Add the plaid border strip that you previously set aside using Crafty Foam Tape108ft.

The Finishes

Mat the photos in white cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, and adhere to the Together Fall Layout with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

The sticker title was added to the left-hand side of the layout. Add the ephemera pieces around the matted photo and on the left-hand side of the layout using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Adhesive Dots Micro.

It's Your Day Birthday Slimline Card by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Birthday Slimline Style

First of all, die-cut the card panels with desired patterned papers. Then gather the die cut shapes that you want to add to the card panel.

Step by Step

Add Crafty Foam Tape 108ft to the back of the rectangle card panel and adhere to the top of the scalloped edge card panel.
Using 3D Foam Squares Black Regular Size pop up embellishments on the card front.
Add the layered card panel to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser.
Add stamped sentiment under the Happy Birthday sticker using the 3D Foam Strips.

A white rectangle of cardstock piece was added to the inside of the card
for writing a personalized note to finish off the birthday slimline card.

Decorating the Envelope

What’s a card without an envelope?! It’s as simple as adding a decorative paper to the inside of the envelope. Secure it with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser for that surprise element when opening.

Using the coordinating acrylic stamps, add some stars to accent to the front of the envelope. Then color the stars with markers.

Such a fun card!! Can’t wait for a birthday to come around so I can sign my name to the card and give it to a special someone.

Glittered Cage Fall Card

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With the trees changing colors and the leaves falling, I was inspired to make this happy fall card to celebrate the season’s beautiful colors. For a pop of glamour, I added a glittered cage!

Glittered Cage Fall Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Layering the fall images is made simple using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. But the unexpected surprise is adding a glittered element.

Glittered Cage Card Base

First, choose the colors you want to use for your fall themed card. How wonderful to choose such a beautiful fall color palette!

For my card, I used a white card base and paired it with a burgundy card panel as a second layer. Adhered together using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, mat with a piece of wood panel patterned paper. Again use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to adhere to the card base and this panel layering part is done.

Add Sparkle Accent

Now for the fun part! Start with die-cutting a bird cage shape from 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small, Black. This foam sheet is so easy to use and cuts like butter! No foam residue on the die.

Pull off the liner of the cage die cut and adhere it to the centre of the card.

Next, carefully pull off the top liner of the cage shape. Grab a fall color glitter and sprinkle on top of the exposed adhesive. Press the glitter into the cage shape to secure and then tap off the excess.

Now you have this amazing glittered element and the extra surprise? It is also dimensional! We call this technique Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Instead of hiding the adhesive under layers of paper, it shines on the outside as an important element of my card.

Card Embellishing

Let’s embellish more! Start with fussy cutting images from a piece of patterned paper. Use a pair of small scissors to work around the details. Then adhere the images to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Finally, using my label maker, punch out the happy fall sentiment and adhered it to the card.

Voila…your Glittered Cage Fall Card is ready to celebrate autumn. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Happy Fall Flip Book

Posted on October 15, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a quick and easy fall flip book album that I used to document my trip to a fruit farm. It doesn’t officially feel like fall for me until I spend a day outside collecting apples and pumpkins.

Happy Fall Flip Book Album by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I repurposed a store-bought flip book, converting the album from summer to fall, by swapping out some of the patterned paper pages and by embellishing the front cover with some fall imagery using the Stampendous Truck Loading Die Cutting Set.

The flip book measures approximately 7.25 x 4.25 inches, and contains four 4 x 6 inch photo inserts and four printed pages that are perfect for journaling and memorabilia. To alter this flip book for my day trip, I first applied plaid patterned paper to the inside covers and the front cover binding using 1/4 inch Extreme Double-Sided Tape. Next, I cut fall patterned papers to size and alternated those pages with the 4 x 6 photo sleeves. Finally, I punched holes in each page and strung a piece of string through the holes to hold the album together.

Embellishing the Flip Book

I saved the apple bag from my trip and used pieces of it in my flip book. The E-Z Runner Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser was perfect for sticking a piece of stamped paper to a plastic photo sleeve.

I added fall imagery and quotes to many of the book pages to reinforce the themes of my photos.

Die-Cut Cover Details

Happy Fall Flip Book Album by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Pinterest

I used the Stampendous Truck Load Cutting Die Set to create the fall scene for the flip book cover. After cutting and applying chalk ink to the die-cut pieces of patterned paper, I used the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere theme to the album cover.

Foiled Dots and Buttons Holiday Card

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Guest Blogger

Hello, Sheri here again and I have a very quick & easy card that uses foiled dots and buttons accents to create a custom holiday card. Let me show you how!

Foiled Dots and Buttons Holiday Card by Sheri Holt for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

It only takes a few ingredients to create this one-of-a-kind card with lots of shine. I created my own background to match my focal image using adhesives and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Variety Colors.

Foiled Dots & Buttons Tree

On a card panel, place various sized buttons to form a tree. Fill in the gaps of the tree with 3D Foam Circles in small size until I got my desired shape. Next, I picked up each button and attached small Adhesive Dots to the back and put back in place.

Foiled Stripes

To create my background, I simply added stripes with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ inch to the front of my card base. One by one lay each color foil on the tape (color side up) and pressed to transfer each color.

Once my background was complete, I used the same process with the foam circles on my tree. Designer’s Tip: press with the end of an eraser head to make sure the circle was completely covered.

A simple stamped sentiment and black matting completed my focal image. I attached the panel to my custom background with the MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser.
