Believe Snowflake Card

Posted on December 12, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hello, Jingle here today sharing a holiday card with this Believe Snowflake Card. The great thing about this card is that it has a ton of sparkle and shine, but is quite simple to create! Let’s get started!

Believe Snowflake Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Believe Snowflake Card Background

To create the background, use layered stencils to add pink trees with pistachio-colored stars on top. To make the design a vibrant color, I used Distress Oxide inks.

Once the inks dried, layer a piece of vellum cut a bit smaller than the stenciled panel. This will ensure our focal point (the snowflake) stands out from the pattern. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner) is perfect for this! It also happens to be one of my personal favorite adhesives!

The Snowflake Design

Die-cut a large snowflake from a piece of gorgeous black glitter paper. Yes, snowflakes can be black! Trust me on this. With the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner), I centered the snowflake to the vellum. Isn’t it stunning?!

Working on the Sentiment

To create the sentiment, I die-cut the ‘believe’ word from both the pink and mint-colored cardstock several times. I stacked those with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. I find it works well for detailed words like this. Next, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the sentiment to the snowflake and a gemstone to dot the “I” – adding more sparkle.

Assembling the Believe Snowflake Card

Finally, I used the super strong Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft to adhere the stenciled panel to a black glitter cardstock mat. Lastly, I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to adhere the entire panel to my card base to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed this Believe Snowflake Card tutorial and I can’t wait to see you again soon!

Fabric Tree Christmas Tag

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! It’s coming down to crunch time for the holidays but still time to make a few Fabric Tree Christmas tags. These tags feature fabric trees made with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White cut into triangles and covered with fabric. It only takes a small piece of holiday fabric and adds a unique look and texture. (The same technique can be used with patterned paper is place of the fabric.)

Fabric Tree Christmas Tag by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tag and Tag Top

From Balsa cardstock, cut 2.25 x 4.25 inches piece for tag plus 1 x 2.25 inches piece for tag top. Cut angles at top of tag and punch hole. Align tag top piece on tag and cut angles and punch hole same as tag.

Stamp Merry Christmas with Distress Archival Ground Espresso ink on tag top piece.

With foam applicator and Distress Antique Linen ink rub ink around edges of tag ant tag top.

Embossed Background

Tap Distress Antique Linen ink on deboss side of Argyle Plaid embossing folder. Place piece of white cardstock in Argyle Plaid embossing folder and run through die cutting machine to emboss. Cut a piece 2 x 3.5 inches for each tag.

Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the embossed piece and attach it to the tag.

Attach the Tag Top

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back to tag top, peel liners and fasten to the top of the tag.

Make Fabric Trees

Cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White across the width (5.75 inches) x 2.125 inches. Peel off the liner and place the sticky side down on the back of the fabric. Trim fabric edges even with the 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

From a scrap of cardstock, cut a triangle 2.125 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide at the base. Align the triangle pattern bottom along the long side of the fabric-covered 3D Foam Creative Sheet and trace it with a pencil. Turn the triangle upside down, align it with the previous pencil line, and trace again. Repeat. This will make six trees. Cut along each pencil line. Keep scraps to cut a narrow strip for tree trunks.

Optional: To create more varied fabric designs on trees, cut two triangles vertically from the center bottom to the point. These can be mixed and put edges together to form a tree.

Fasten Tree to Tag

Peel liner from triangle tree and place on tag allowing space at bottom for tree trunk and at top for star. (If using split triangles, peel liners from 2 parts and put together on tag to form triangle tree.)

Cut a narrow strip from a scrap of fabric-covered 3D Foam Creative Sheet and a short piece from it for the tree trunk. Peel the liner and place it at the bottom of the tree on the tag.

Add Star and String

Place Adhesive Dots Micro on the back of a small wood star, peel away the liner, and fasten it at the top of the tree on the tag. Cut a piece of string and loop it through the tag’s opening.

Repeat to make more tags.

Bold Take Care Cards

Posted on December 7, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Cold/flu season is upon us, and there’s no better cure than handmade Bold Take Care Cards for your “under the weather” friends! Teri here to show you how to put together these cards to let them know you’re thinking of them!

Bold Take Care Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Bold Take Care Card Background

Start by cutting a panel of white cardstock and several strips of colored cardstock. Arrange the strips onto your paper panel. Designer’s Tip: Make multiple cards in one sitting by cutting several panels and strips to make several all at once. Adhere your strips down with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Set your panel in an embossing folder and run it through a die-cutting machine to give it texture. Designer’s Tip: Consider spritzing your panel first with water for a crisper and deeper embossing design.

The Sentiment

Die-cut your sentiment outline out of your card panel, and save that piece. Next, die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock several times to stack them for dimension. I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to secure the stack because it rolls over the shapes without leaving an adhesive residue between the open gaps. Then secure it on its matching sentiment outline piece with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Assemble Your Bold Take Care Card

Trim your cardstock panel to fit on a card base and mount it with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Apply Crafty Foam Tape to place your sentiment in the opening. Be generous – cut into small strips to fully cover the back of your matted sentiment.

Place your sentiment on your card. If you are making multiple cards at one time, consider using sentiments from different panels together.

Complete your card by adding 3D Foam Stars to the card front. Foil the stars with platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature to it. Make sure to face the color side up, rub gently to transfer the color, and remove the foil. Lastly, add sequins or other small embellishments.

I hope you are inspired by today’s Bold Take Care Cards post! Are you ready to make some cards of your own? Thanks, as always, for stopping by!

Happy Creating!

Adorable Starry Christmas Card

Posted on December 5, 2024 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. Today, I’d like to share how I made this Adorable Starry Christmas Card. I turned it into a sparkly eyecatcher card using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Shall we create this card together?

Adorable Starry Christmas Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Starry Christmas Card Front Design

Ink a blue circle background on the card panel with a blending tool. First, dab some ink onto the centre of the circle and spread the ink to a fading circle edge. Mat the inked top card panel with a blue panel and lastly, to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

The Star Focal Point

Stamp the star image onto white cardstock, color it, and fussy cut. Next, print the sentiment for the Starry Christmas Card and cut it into a banner shape. Mat the sentiment to a slightly larger blue banner using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Adhere the star image and the sentiment to the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle dimension. The thin foam is about 1/32-inch in height – half of 1/16-inch.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

To add a sparkly effect to my Starry Christmas Card, I used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Instead of hiding your adhesive in layers, you make your adhesive shine using them as embellishments!

First, randomly adhere some 3D Foam Stars to the card front. Remove the liner and cover with white glitter. Rub the glitter to secure and tap off the excess. Apply some E-Z Runner®Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card panel and cover them with silver glitter. Again tap off the excess glitter…it’s that easy!

To finish, add a touch of glitter to the star image. Simply apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen to the star, cover with glitter, tap off the excess, and let dry.

Voilá, this Adorable Starry Christmas Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you a happy Christmas crafting!

Joy to the World Layout

Posted on December 4, 2024 by Ali Skifton

Hi, Ali here today! I am happy to share a festive Joy to the World Layout featuring the Dual Tip Glue Pen. This glue pen is versatile as it has two different tips (wide for larger coverage and fine for narrow areas). The fine tip was perfect for the intricate cut file I used on this layout.

Joy to the World Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Joy to the World Layout Background

I used the Simple Vintage Yuletide collection by Simple Stories to back up this cut file. The squares were cut using a paper trimmer. Then I used the fine tip on the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue each square to the back of the cut file. The glue is permanent and dries clear, so you don’t have to worry about any glue residue showing.

Design Details

For dimension, I added Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft to the back of the finished cut file and centered it on my beautiful red patterned paper. I love the look of this page with the photo of me and the regal Nutcracker in Chicago.

To make my title stand out, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and placed it in the bottom right-hand corner, along with poinsettia stickers. On the top of the page, I used the foam squares to secure the bells and stars.

Thank you for visiting my Joy to the World Layout process. Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday!

Stars and Joy Card

Posted on December 1, 2024 by Lara Scott

Hi, Lara here today! Featuring 3D Foam Stars and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, I created this quick and easy Stars and Joy Card using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. The holiday season in Texas can be either cold or warm. Being born in Hawaii, I love green tropical Christmases. But growing up in Colorado, Utah, and Idaho, the freshly fallen snow was magical. White Christmases are beautiful but I would rather be warm! HA!

Stars and Joy Card by Lara Scott for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Stars and Joy Card Layers

Make a 4.5 x 5″ card base with dark red cardstock. For the card panel, cut a piece of the green striped patterned paper about 1/2″ smaller than the base. Adhere them together with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

This is Joy Sentiment

The sentiment is printed on vellum so it is translucent. For it to stand out, I secure a piece of white cardstock with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. This adhesive is perfect for vellum – once dried, it disappears! Next, fussy cut around it and attach it to the card front with the 3D Foam Squares White Regular for added dimension.

Lastly, I added a bow below the sentiment for texture and secured it with 3D Foam Square Micro White.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

To finish embellishing the card front, I accent it with some 3D Foam Stars. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I applied gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors set. Simply remove the top liners, place the foil color facing you over the exposed adhesive and gently rub to transfer the color. Remove and reveal…it’s that easy! No tools are needed. Here is a close-up of the stars. I like the crackled and distressed vibe they have!

Recap of my Supplies

These Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products made my cardmaking a breeze! On our blog, we have many tutorials on how to apply them to projects or stretch your adhesive beyond to make them as embellishments. Look through, make some, and post so we can share in your creative joy!

Hope you have a great holiday season and make a few personalized cards like this Stars and Joy Card.

Foiled Trees Christmas Card

Posted on November 29, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I made this Foiled Trees Christmas Card that is so festive and easy to make! Use triangles from 3D Foam Pennants and green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors to make such pretty trees! Stamp a greeting and use the Dual Tip Glue Pen with snowy glitter and the card is done.

Foiled Trees Christmas Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Pieces and Design

Score and fold a piece of 5.5 x 8.5-inch white cardstock to make an A2 (4.25 x 5.5-inch) standard card base.

For the snowy hill, I cut a strip of 2 x 5.5-inch white cardstock and cut a curve along the top long edge of the strip.

Position the curved piece along the bottom of the card front and slide it down slightly below edge of card. Lightly trace a curve with a pencil.

Arrange the Pennant Trees

Place five triangle pennant pieces from the 3D Foam Pennants set above the penciled curve to form trees. Use black pen or fine tip marker to draw tree trunks from pennant to penciled line. Erase the penciled curve.

Assemble the Curved Piece

Place pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft., on the back of the curved piece along top and bottom edges. Remove the liners and secure the curved piece to the bottom of the card.

Add More Trees

Remove two triangle pennants from the 3D Foam Pennants set and place them on the work surface with the sticky side up. Cut a small piece of foam from excess pieces on the pennant sheet and place at tip of each triangle. This will help even the height of the trees when placing them on the curved hill.

Adhere the two triangles from 3D Foam Pennants set on the curved snow hill with tips extending above edge of curve. Draw trunks on trees with black pen.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Pennant and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets

Remove the liners from one or two pennant trees, cover with a piece of green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (color side facing you), press in place, and remove the foil. Continue to cover all pennant trees using the same foiling step.

Stamp the Greeting

Ink greeting stamp with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamp at top of the card.

Making it Snow

Use fine tip of the Dual Tip Glue Pen to apply glue along the edge of the snow hill, and around the trees below the snow edge. Next, cover with glitter and tap off the excess. Apply more glue across hill and add glitter.

Above trees, use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to make dots for snow, cover with glitter and tap off the excess. Repeat as needed. Allow to dry.

A Doggone Happy Birthday

Posted on November 25, 2024 by Jennifer Ingle

Hello, Jingle here! Today, I am sharing a super fun, dimensional Doggone Happy Birthday card that is sure to bring a smile to your recipient’s face!

A Doggone Happy Birthday Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Doggone Happy Birthday Elements

Let’s get started creating this design! Stamp and die-cut the dog and tennis ball images. Next, color and shade the images with Olo markers.

Create the Background Panel

Create a stenciled background. Use a cloud stencil and some blending brushes, and add ink in layers to create a soft cloud look.

Next, die-cut two strips of green cardstock with a grass die. The first strip is adhered to the inked panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser as a back layer. To create dimension, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. for the front strip. This will provide a stage for your two die-cut pups to frolic and play!

Add the Sentiment

Now that the background is complete, you will stamp your sentiment onto the clouds. I used a stamp tool positioner to place and ink my greeting.

Finishing Touches

Add the little dog die-cuts on the card panel using the 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I use both sizes to ensure a good hold across the figure. The small circles from the 3D Foam Circles White Mix are perfect for the little tennis ball!

Finally, you will cut a black panel just a bit larger than your panel, mat the panel, and then adhere the whole piece to your card base with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, for a very fun birthday card!

I hope you have enjoyed this playful pup greeting!

One Panel Christmas Gift Cards

Posted on November 23, 2024 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! Do you like to give cash for Christmas gifts? Teri here to show you how to make some quick and easy One Panel Christmas Gift Cards. It’s perfect to stash some holiday cash into!

One Panel Christmas Gift Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You’ll need a few printed Christmas die-cuts, cardstock, Keepsakes Envelopes, and some basic paper crafting supplies to create these!

Make and Embellish Your One Panel Card Base

Start by cutting a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of cardstock for each card you want to make.

Arrange your Christmas die-cuts on how you want them to be on your card. If you are using any frame die-cuts, consider placing patterned paper or pages from an old book in the middle. Use Crafty Foam Tape to make some of the elements stand out.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser

Give the front of your card a little sparkle by randomly rolling some dots from the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and foiling on top. Simply place a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Make sure the color side is facing you. Gently rub the color to transfer it to the adhesive. Reapply foil on missed areas.

Make your elements stand out a little more by adding a couple of the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack to your design. I used the gold corners which are perfect for adding glitz and work great with rectangle elements!

Add and Decorate the Pockets

Turn your card around and add a Keepsake Envelopes pocket to it. Be sure to leave the flap open and embellish around it with strips of paper or additional die-cuts.

Instead of removing the adhesive section on the front of the pocket, cover it with a small element! Fold up your cash and tuck it in the pocket! Leave the panel blank or write a message to go with it.

Put the panels in standard A2 envelopes to give them out! Or turn them into tags by poking a hole in them and adding some twine or ribbon to them.

I hope this idea gets your creative juices flowing! Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Creating!

Mini Shaker Note Card

Posted on November 20, 2024 by Margie Higuchi

When you’re short on time but want to make a shaker card, how about a Keepsake Envelope to the rescue? These clear self-adhesive envelopes come in several different sizes. Today I am sharing a mini shaker note card with the smallest size (2-inch) and some fun ideas to create with one! Let me show you!

Mini Shaker Note Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Shaker Note Card

Fold a 3 x 6-inch white cardstock in half to create a 3-inch square top fold mini note card base. We’ll be using the Pretty Peonies patterned paper on both sides. On the B-side/pink pattern, cut one square piece of 2.75-inch and 2-inch. On the floral pattern side, cut a square piece of 2 5/8-inch.

Adhere the 2.75-inch square (pink) with the 2 5/8-inch square (floral). Then add the layered square to the card base with the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser.

Create the Shaker

Remove one of the 2-inch envelopes from the Keepsake Envelopes Mix pack and adhere it on top of the 2-inch square (pink) so the paper is behind the envelope. Open the flap and add shaker mix…but wait!

Preparing the Heart Shape Shaker Mix

Create foiled sequin shapes with the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Apply a row of E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser on a non-stick craft sheet and apply your choice of foil to the shapes by placing the foil facing COLOR SIDE UP to rub it with your fingertips to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the results. Reapply foil in missed areas. This concept is called “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.”

View How to Use the E-Z Runner Hearts Video

I am sharing visually how to create those shaker bits in this How to Use E-Z Runner Hearts video – it starts at the shaker bit portion of the video. Enjoy!

Use a pair of tweezers or fingernails to lift the shape from the craft sheet and flip it to its backside to repeat the foiling steps. Create as many as you like with different foil colors.

Embellish the Shaker Note Card

Peel off the liner from the envelope flap and close. Wrap white twine once vertically and knot to close. Tie a loopy double bow and secure it to the envelope with an Adhesive Dots Small. Tie a single bow with a thin white ribbon and secure on top of the twine bow with another Adhesive Dots Small. Use the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to secure the shaker to the center of the card base.

Finishing Touches

Die-cut a flower shape from a sheet of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White and remove the top liner. Apply a piece of purple foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top using the same foiling technique. Remember the foil color is facing UP!

Place a regular 3D Foam Circles Black in the back of the flower and a small 3D Foam Circles Black in the flower’s center. Adhere the flower on top of the bow. Remove the small 3D Foam Circles Black liner and foil the circle.

Stamp and cut the sentiment on white cardstock. Using Adhesive Dots Small, place it under the flower embellishment. Done! I hope you enjoyed the Mini Shaker Note Card project and it inspires you to create one too!
