Thankful Card with Stencil and Heat Emboss

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here today with a Thankful for You Card made with embossing powder. This time I applied embossing powder through a stencil onto paper covered with Adhesive Sheets. It’s a pretty cool technique!

Thankful Card with Stencil and Heat Emboss Tutorial by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thankful Card Heat Embossing Steps

To make the embossed piece with gold and turquoise, apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to black cardstock that is cut to the size of the stencil. With a bone folder, burnish the Adhesive Sheet to bond to the cardstock. Then remove the liner and place the stencil on the adhesive. Replace the liner sheet back over the stencil and press the stencil to secure.

Next, apply gold embossing powder over the stencil and tap off the excess. Designer’s Tip: use a brush to gently remove embossing powder off the stencil.

Carefully pull the stencil away from cardstock. Slowly pull the stencil without pulling the adhesive off the paper. Then sprinkle turquoise embossing powder over the remaining exposed adhesive and tap off excess.

The above photo shows the embossing powders before heat embossing. I touched up with more adhesive and turquoise embossing powder to fix the bare corner. Now to melt the powders with a heating tool.

Creating Layers

Cut the embossed piece to 3 x 5.375-inches and secure it to black cardstock using MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

For the gold border, I applied Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4in left edge of black cardstock with the embossed piece. Remove the liner, cover with gold embossing powder and heat emboss it. Trim the edges as seen in the card. Then adhere it to the front of a white card base with MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser.

Lastly, stamp the Thankful card sentiment on black cardstock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Die-cut the sentiment with an oval shape. Place the oval on the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. I also trimmed the oval even with the card edge for a finished look.

Just another way to use stencils and I really like how it turned out! I hope this Thankful Card inspired you to try this technique.

A note about the choice of stencils…it’s best to choose one that doesn’t have intricate pieces that aren’t joined on all edges. They may be harder to remove from adhesive.

18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout

Posted on June 27, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Foam stickers and titles are all the rage right now. I used one on my 18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout. One of my tried and true techniques lately has been creating my own titles using adhesives.

Today I decided to try my hand at making my own foam sticker title. Let’s take a look at how the 3D Foam Creative Sheets make it easy to design your own title!

18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Title for Love Scrapbook Layout

3D Foam Creative Sheets make it super easy to customize your title!

First up I peeled the top layer off the 3D Foam Creative Sheet revealing a sticky side. I then put my patterned paper onto that. I did cut out just what I needed so I didn’t waste any of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

Next, I ran the piece through my cutting machine using a metal die. Once it was cut out I could peel off the backside and I had a fabulous dimensional title to apply for my 18 Years of Love Scrapbook Layout.

Additional Layout Adhesives

This layout contains a ton of fussy cutting! To adhere that I used a bunch of 3D Foam Adhesives including 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Strips. The flat parts are secured with my E-Z Runner Grand!

My delicate butterflies needed something strong but subtle to secure them. I used one Adhesive Dot Mini to attach these. This allowed them to have dimension but no adhesive showing!

Whenever I combine multiple layers of cardstock that is the same color, I always add dimensional adhesive in between to make it separate. For this layout, because I had big spaces to cover, I used Crafty Foam Tape.

Fun Frog Card Tutorial

Posted on June 23, 2020 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Looking for a way to add pop to your next stamped card? Teri here, and I’ll show you a fun way to make frogs (or any other critter stamps) look like they are going to jump off your cards.

Fun Frog Card Tutorial by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

It’s easy to pull off this look with just a few basic crafting supplies! Let’s get started!

Make a Frog Pop on the Card

First, stamp, color and die-cut one frog. Once you’ve got your stamped image, you’ll want to die-cut four more frog shapes from white cardstock. No need to stamp or color.

Then stack and adhere all the frog die-cuts one on top of each other with the stamped and colored frog on top. We just created one tall frog!

Sentiment Placement

Once you’ve got your frog, stamp the letters around him so he looks like he is part of a word.

To make frog pop even more, add a few 3D Foam Squares underneath him before affixing him to your background paper.

Color the letters in and add a few more stamped words to complete the sentiment.

Finishing off the Frog Card

Randomly add a few 3D Foam Stars and remove the top liner. Cover the stars with flock or glitter. Make sure to press the medium into the stars to secure before tapping off the excess. Want your card to have a little sparkle? Add a few sequins to your card as well!

Mat your background paper and adhere it to an A2 card.

Toadally Awesome Frog Card

Here’s another card where I made the frog pop! This time, I stamped, die-cut and colored in the log. Then I die-cut a base for the log from a 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

I stamped, die-cut and colored in the frog and then added four bases die-cut from cardstock under him. Then I mounted him to the log and die-cut a mat for the frog from a 3D Creative Sheet. I cut it up, using just part of the mat his head so his head would not flop around on the card!

While I used frogs to create these cards, you don’t have to when you make your own cards! These tips from my Fun Frog Card Tutorial will work with any critter stamps and dies. Imagine all the possibilities!

I sure would love to see your cards with critters that “pop” off them! Share a link in the comments so I can leave you some love!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

Canada Day Grid Layout

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends and welcome back. Tracy here, and for me this time of year means that Canada Day is coming up VERY soon. We love to celebrate our country, and I thought I would share a Canada Day layout that I created using a favourite photo memory.

Canada Day Grid Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Grid Layout Details

I absolutely love a grid design. You can play with a lot of fabulous patterns, colour, and embellishments in a fun and clean way. Here are some tips on how I created mine.

First, figure out the size of the squares you want to create with. Mine are 3 x 3-inch, and I cut eight of them.

Next, I adhered the squares, spaced apart onto white cardstock. The white cardstock breaks up all of the patterns to create a striking background that’s easy on the eye.

Then adhere the layer to the base patterned paper, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Now the Canada Day grid layout background is complete!

Embellish the Layout

Grab a 4 x6-inch photo and cropped it slightly to mat against a piece of white cardstock. Adhere the two layers with Creative Photo Corners White. Then adhere it to the grid layout background using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.

Mat the “HOME” title with white cardstock, and adhere to the top of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.

Finally, add sticker embellishments to the grid layout. Note I matted some in white cardstock and popped them up using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Others were added directly to the layout.

That’s it to my Canada Day Grid Layout! Thanks so much for stopping by!

One Embossed Card Design Two Ways

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with the same card design, flipped to show a horizontal and vertical view, using an embossed star background. One card sketch, same elements, and a different look.

One Embossed Card Design Two Ways by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embossed Card Instructions

Gather your supplies including 3D Foam Products, E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, WOW! Embossing Powders, stamps, and ink.
Using Versamark, WOW! Embossing Powder and a background stamp creates the background for the card. Designer’s note: You will also need to heat emboss the stamped background to set the embossing powder.
Clean up the sides of the card by trimming the card edges.
Adhere the black cardstock to the folded card with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Using the Crafty Foam Tape 108′ adhere it to the back of the embossed background and then adhere to the front of the black cardstock. Adhere the large label to the embossed background Then add the Statue of Liberty and the sentiment strip to the card front with 3D Foam Circle White Mix.

The Second Card Design

With the same steps, create a vertical card keeping in mind the card elements will be flipped. It’s just that easy!

Once you do the first card the second one goes fast. All you are doing is switching the direction and placement of the embellishments. It is a fun one and I hope you will give it a try!!

Celebrate & Sparkle for the 4th!

Posted on June 17, 2020 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here to celebrate and sparkle with a 4th of July card! Let’s shine for the upcoming 4th of July celebration using sparkly items to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with glitter. Shall we get this party getting started? Let me show you how I made my card.

Celebrate & Sparkle

We’re adding sparkle to this card, using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Instead of hiding your adhesives between layers of cardstock or materials, they become the embellishment or accent on your project. On this 4th of July card, this technique will be used to make an all-over glitter card!

Prepping the Card Panel

Trim a piece of white cardstock to a rectangular shape for the card panel. Next, place a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1-inch horizontally. Continue to cover the entire panel in this fashion, making sure are no gaps between the tape.

I used seven rows of the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1-inch. Cut off any excess with a pair of scissors.

Make sure that everything has securely adhered, and even by using a bone folder.

Sparkle On

Now for the fun part! Remove the liners of the first, third, and seventh stripe (tape). Then cover the exposed adhesive with red glitter. Push and burnish the glitter into the adhesive to secure. Tap off the excess.

Remove the liner from the remaining stripes (the second, fourth, and sixth tape). These stripes will be in blue. I used two types of glitter. First, sprinkle the glitter with little stars and tap off. Then use fine blue glitter to fill in. A fun way to create with glitter! But wait, there’s more! LOL!

Outstanding Stars

Die-cut the stars from a white sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix. This gives you beautiful star shapes with dimensions. It cuts like butter without dulling or have build-up on your blades. Carefully remove the liner and adhere the stars to the glittered top card panel.

Use your fingers to rub the star shapes onto the card to affix it firmly. Cut off any excess with scissors or a craft knife. Next, remove the top liner of the stars and sprinkle white glitter on top. Don’t forget to push the glitter in to secure and then tap off any excess. That’s how you Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside!

Finish the Card

Create a white card base slightly larger than the glittered card panel. Adhere the card panel to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.

For the sentiment, stamp with embossing ink onto a piece of black cardstock and sprinkle white embossing powder. Melt the with a heating tool. Cut to a banner shape and adhere it to the card using 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Voila! Your Celebrate & Sparkle 4th of July Card is ready to shine!

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Uncle Sam Patriotic Décor

Posted on June 15, 2020 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how to create a piece of patriotic home décor using 3D Foam Strips and Transfer Foil Sheets. This red, white, and blue wood Uncle Sam is a great way to decorate for national holidays or to show your patriotism all year long.

Uncle Sam Patriotic Décor by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The summer months cover patriotic holidays in the US such as Memorial Day, Flag Day and 4th of July. These occasions are often celebratory in nature, and I enjoy gathering with friends and family, decorating, sharing a meal, and all the entertainment that goes with it. I know I will be able to display this décor piece several times a year.

How to Add Pizazz to Wood Décor

I started this fun project by first adding color to the wood pieces using acrylic paint. After the paint dried, I assembled the Uncle Sam using Extreme Double-Sided Tape. Once the décor piece was painted and assembled, it was time to embellish!

I added a soft sparkly finish to the beard by first applying a layer of glue using the 1/2-inch wide brush on the Dual Tip Glue Pen, and then sprinkling on glittered white flocking powder.

Next, I added a small button to the light blue wood star, securing the embellishment with an Adhesive Dot Medium.

To add stripes to the Uncle Sam hat, I applied 3D Foam Strips to the top portion of the hat at a slight angle fanning out from the center. Next, I peeled away the easy release liner and pressed a piece of Holographic Metallic Transfer Foil over the adhesive. The shimmer really catches the light!

For me, Uncle Sam is a symbol of our great nation, and he serves as a great reminder to pause and give thanks to those who have made sacrifices to secure our freedoms. I want to give special thanks to my fellow military families and friends for their service.

Heat Embossed Background Birthday Card

Posted on June 13, 2020 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! Judy here to share how to use Premium Tape and WOW! Embossing Powders to create a stunning heat embossed background for cards and other projects!

Heat Embossed Background

Let’s start with a piece of 5.5 x 8.5-inch tan cardstock as the card panel. I thought the color would blend in and not be obvious if it showed between tape strips. You can make any size card panel you want!

Apply alternating pieces of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1 inch and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4 inch on the card panel. Burnish the tapes well with a bone folder.

Remove the top liners from the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1 inch first and sprinkle with WOW! Opaque Primary Angel Eyes Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess.

Next, remove the top liners from the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/4 inch and cover with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess.

Designer’s Tip: press the embossing powder into the tape with the fingertips to be sure there is good coverage and the powders are secured.

Use a heating tool to melt embossing powders over the entire piece. See the magic happen for a stunning heat embossed background. But we’re not done yet!

The Stamping Details

Randomly stamp the flower image across the 1-inch Opaque Primary Angel Eyes (turquoise color) embossed areas with dark brown ink. Use scratch paper to mask off the gold strips to protect it from the stamping.

Next, stamp the script design with black ink across entire piece for another layer of design. Rub off any ink on the gold strips with a paper towel.

With two different flourish stamps and Versafine Black Onyx ink, randomly stamp two-three flourishes at a time. Cover with Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder, tap off excess and heat to emboss. Repeat to cover the entire piece. When cooled, cut the card panel to 3.75 x 5.50-inch.

Beautiful Bold Black Accents

Cut a 1 x 5.50-inch strip of black cardstock and apply Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in along the 5.50-inch edge. Remove the top liner and cover it with the Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Tap off the excess and melt with a heating tool.

Stamp the birthday greetings using Versafine Onyx Black ink and Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine Embossing Powder. Melt with a heating tool. Trim paper as needed.

Card Assembly

Create a 4.25 x 5.50-inch (A2 size) card base from ivory cardstock. Secure the black cardstock strip about a 1/8-inch from the open edge using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the embossed card panel to the card front using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix in regular size to the back of the Happy Birthday sentiment. Next, cut one Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix in regular size into thirds and apply them to the back of the narrow sentiment. Adhere both sentiments to the card front.

I hope you’ve enjoyed learning how to make this heat embossed background! I plan to make a few more pieces to have on hand for a quick card. Just imagine all the color combinations with different embossing powders and stamping!

Thinking of You Embellished Card Tutorial

Posted on June 11, 2020 by Tracy McLennon

Hello, my crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a sweet Thinking of You card full of fun embellishment ideas to share using one of my favourite adhesives, the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Try these techniques on your next project.

Thinking of You Embellished Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Thinking of You Card Step Outs

Let’s start with my white cardstock card panel. For a punch of bold, textured, and beautiful black sentiment, I used the WOW! Embossing Pad and WOW! Primary Ebony Embossing Powder to the cardstock.

Since I had the WOW! products out, I stamped and embossed some of the floral designs, and others using a plain black ink on white cardstock. This is a great way to add some subtle texture differences between the images. Cut the images out and set aside.

Adding Background

For the background, I added a blended Distress Oxide ink section around the sentiment and the right side of the card panel. Using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, run strips of adhesive on top of the inked area. For a more distressed background, I rubbed little sections of the adhesive off using my finger.

Place a piece of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors in teal on top of the adhesive strips, color side UP. Then gently rub the foil with your finger to transfer the color. Pull away the foil and WOW! Refoil if there are missed areas.

Mat and adhere the distressed card panel to the black cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Lastly, adhere to the white cardstock card base.

Final Details

Add the fussy cut stamped, and embossed floral images up the side of the card using a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a difference in dimension between layers.

That’s it for my Thinking of You card! A quick and easy distressed background with just a few simple ideas.

Dream Scrapbook Layout

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Christine Meyer

Sometimes you have the perfect title piece within a collection and other times you have to create your own. Would you have ever guessed that an adhesive combined with WOW! Embossing Powder can help with that? Christine joining you today to showcase a fabulous technique with our 3D Creative Foam Sheets on my Dream Scrapbook Layout! Let’s dive in!

Dream Scrapbook Layout by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dream Scrapbook Layout Title

Today I am going to be sharing one of my favorite, creative techniques with our adhesives on this Dream Scrapbook Layout! All you need is 3D Foam Creative Sheets and WOW! Embossing Powder. I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets White Medium. These sheets allow you to cut out the adhesive into any size or shape that you want.

These sheets are foam with adhesive on both sides. Once you have cut out your shape – peel back the top layer. Add embossing powder to the exposed adhesive. Heat it up and allow it to cool down. Then you can peel off the bottom adhesive and you have a sticker ready to use!

The Metallic Silver Embossing Powder from WOW! Embossing Powder was used and it came out really neat! The texture it adds is absolutely gorgeous. I opted to adhere to the white cardstock and then cut around that to create a backdrop for my title. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I adhered the title to the layout.

Other 3D Foam Adhesives

I’ve shown you the magic you can make with 3D Creative Foam Sheets but don’t forget the basics of 3D Foam Squares and how they too can transform a layout. I used them to pop up the flowers in this corner.

Sometimes you want even more height – this butterfly has double layers of 3D Foam Squares under the wings to give the illusion of them lifting off the page.

All of these ideas are highlighted in my process video – let’s have a look!
