Birthday Boy Letterboard

Hello! It’s Ivy Pe coming back with a certain young man’s birthday celebration idea. It is a Birthday Boy Letterboard that I embellished with all things sparkly and fun!

Birthday Boy Letterboard Banner

I’m using the fishtail banner shape from 3D Foam Pennants set as a guide to hand-cut a slightly larger two-sided banner with patterned paper. I cut eight banners in total.

On the front side of the banner, place a 3D Foam fishtail banner shape. Do this on all eight banner fronts. Take off the top liner, place the blue color of the Metallic Transfer Foils Variety Colors set COLOR side UP and rub with your fingertip to transfer the foil to the banner. Repeat this step seven more times.

Add a foiled letter sticker on top to spell “birthday.” Sandwich each banner on a twine thread and secure each with an Adhesive Dots Large.

How do you add the banner to the letterboard? I used letters and shapes from my letterboard pegs – just pick the ones you don’t use much. Place an Adhesive Dots Large on the back of the peg and then add on the back of your banner ends.

More Birthday Boy Letterboard Parts

I assembled the cake and candle pieces from the 3D Foam Party Shapes set. After adhering them to the patterned paper, I cut them out to form one shape. Take off the top liner, place the turquoise and blue colors in the Metallic Transfer Foils Variety Colors set COLOR side UP and rub with the fingertip to transfer the foil.

To make the star elements, layer a smaller star shape from the 3D Foam Party Shapes on top of a larger star that I die-cut from felt. Repeat the same foiling steps.

Embellish and add the letter pegs on the backs with an Adhesive Dots Large. They’re ready for the letterboard. Just add pictures and done!

Hello Friend Striped Background Card

Hi, friends! Teri here to show you how to make a cool striped background for your next card with flock and 3D Foam Strips! Along the way, I’ll show you how to put together a card like my Hello Friend card with a sweet sleeping cat image! Let’s get started!

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Striped Background

Start with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ panel of cardstock. Place several strips on it. If you want your striped background to be perfectly spaced out, use a pencil and ruler to draw lines along the panel before you adhere the strips to it. If you are OK with a more freestyle look, just wing it and eyeball your placement!

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

By the way, there’s no wrong or right amount of strips to use on your panel. You can use as many as you’d like! The more you use, the closer your stripes will be. The less you use, the more far out they will be.

Remove the liners from each strip. Set the panel aside. Stamp a sentiment – I’m using “Friend” – on a 4″ strip of cardstock and mount it to one of the 3D Foam Strips.

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Dump flock all over the remaining strips. Remove the excess. Not a fan of flock? Try using Metallic Transfer Foil instead! Glitter is also a fun way to decorate them.

Adding Stamped Images

Now that you have your striped background done, you’ll continue making the card. Color the stamped and die-cut image in and add it to your card. I used an image of a cat but you could flowers, a different critter or some other cute icon to create an adorable scene.

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place some small 3D Foam Squares in the open spaces between the 3D Foam Strips and mount your image on top.

Once you’ve added the image, it’s a good time to take a second look at the striped background to make sure the flock is firmly burnished onto the foam.

Designer Tip: I have a simple trick for doing that! Take a piece of backing paper from the strips and rub the shiny side along the flock. I find this works well with the flock, as well as glitter!

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finish with Hearts

Complete the panel by adding some hearts around your Hello image. Then adhere the panel to a card made from white cardstock!

By the way, I created the hearts for my card by placing a small piece of red cardstock on a 3D Foam Creative Sheet and then die-cutting several hearts from it.

Hello Friend Striped Background Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You can give your hearts a little extra personality by drawing dots or lines on them with a white gel pen! Using a pen not your thing? Try sponging a little ink onto them instead.

Framed Winter Wishes Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a framed winter wishes card. I am using the NEW 3D Foam Strips to lift up the detailed framing on my card front. They are only 1/8-inch wide, so perfect for this kind of job.

Framed Winter Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Framing Details

Die-cut a square with a pale glittered square and placed it on an A4 size white cardstock with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

To create an open decorative frame, I nest a decorative edge square with a square shape inside, secure with washi tape and die-cut a piece of white cardstock with a die-cutting machine.

Next, I needed a straight-edge open frame to compliment the large frame. Nest two square dies, secure with washi tape and die-cut with white cardstock.

Stack the two frame shapes by putting 3D Foam Strips to the back of the larger window frame and adhere to the smaller frame.

Framed Winter Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To give the frame more height place 3D Foam Strips to the back of the stacked frame, remove the liner and adhere to the blue glittered square.

Framed Winter Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the white cardstock A4 sheet to a size slightly larger than the stacked frame to create the card base.

Building the Card Front

Die-cut and emboss a tree shape from kraft cardstock and then shade it with brown ink and an ink blending tool. Using the fine tip on the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere the tree to the card.

For the snow tops on the branches, die-cut and emboss from white glittered cardstock. Keep the die cut in the etched die and stencil through the die with grey ink and an ink blending tool. Remove and adhere it to the card base with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Framed Winter Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The deer is die-cut from dark brown cardstock and placed on the card using 3D Foam Strips. Finally, secure a stamped sentiment to the card with 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Framed Winter Wishes Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding Sparkle

We are creating snowflakes by adding 3D Foam Circles White Mix and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors to Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Instead of using adhesives between layers of paper, we bring them out as embellishments!

Randomly place the 3D Foam Circles in small size on the card front, remove the top liner, place desired foil (color side UP), rub with fingertips to transfer the color and peel away to see the color.

For an extra snowy effect, I put some foam ball clay on to the branches and on the ground.

Stamp a sentiment onto white cardstock, cut into a banner shape and adhered it to the card frame using 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

And…voila…your Framed Winter Wishes card is ready. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy winter crafting!

Queen Bee Shaker Card Tutorial

Hi, Connie here with a wonderful Queen Bee shaker card constructed from scratch. Using the Crafty Foam Tape and a sheet of acetate (snagged some packaging), you’re set to go! Let me show you how.

Queen Bee Shaker Card Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Queen Bee Shaker Card Prep

Stamps are a major part of my embellishing the card front. Starting with the background to the detailed elements which are stamped, colored and trimmed are done and ready to go. Double-mat the background card front with black cardstock secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. Set aside the elements for now.

Making the Shaker Feature

Die-cut a Polaroid Frame to create the shaker front. Cut the acetate to cover the window frame. Flip the frame to its back to apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ around the frame. Take off the liner and place the acetate down. Attach the Crafty Foam Tape to the edges of the frame. Next, sprinkle in a mix of sequins and beads in the middle of the card front. Remove the backing from the Crafty Foam Tape on the frame and place it over the sequin grouping. Press down to secure and complete!!

Queen Bee Shaker Card Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Embellishment Cluster

Collect the stamped elements created earlier and place them around the framed shaker to decide on the placement of pretties. The Dual Tip Glue Pen is great to secure them as well as the 3D Foam Squares to lift up the elements for dimension.

Queen Bee Shaker Card Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For more height, adhere the card front to a folded card base with 3D Foam Squares to complete the Queen Bee shaker card.

Secret Message Mini Book

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun Valentine’s Day craft. I really enjoy making books. The signature of this mini book requires only a single sheet of 8.5 x 1- inch paper. This design uses a simple variation on an accordion fold, and unfolds to reveal a secret message, making it a fun gift for a special valentine!

Secret Message Mini Book by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Mini Book Assembly

Secret Message Mini Book by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape to secure the folded pages, also called a signature, of the mini book to a paper cover. To add a string or ribbon closure to the book, peel the red liner from the tape and press the material onto the double-sided tape. Next, cover the tape with the signature and press to seal.

Embellishing the Mini Book

Secret Message Mini Book by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The strong permanent bond of 3D Foam Circles makes them perfect for use with all types of embellishments. The circle shapes in the small size fit perfectly inside the curves of my metal heart embellishment. The added height from the 3D Foam provides space for the string closure to wrap around the mini book.

Secret Message Mini Book by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The mini book unfolds to lay flat, revealing a secret message. I’d love to have you stop by my blog for the complete tutorial and to read the message I hid inside the pages!

This simple craft is a fun way to let your Valentine know they are special. These mini books are more affordable than handmade cards, so I’m looking forward to passing these out to my friends and loved ones this month.

Foiled Candle Birthday Card

Hello blog friends! Today, I’m sharing a Foiled Candle Birthday Card that features NEW 3D Foam Strips. They are 1/8-inch strips of 3D Foam with permanent double-sided adhesive. Can you see where I’m using them?

The three strips of the 3D Foam Strips make the foiled candle. Simply cut the strips to size and apply blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors to make a shiny candle! And the flame, that’s a leaf shape from 3D Foam Leaves that I covered with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors!

Foiled Candle Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Layers of the Card Base

To make this card, I stamp stars on a gray card base. For the card panel, attach patterned paper to a white mat and then to the card base with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

To make the blue foiled mat, apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch on one side of a piece of white cardstock. Die-cut the cardstock into a rectangle shape. With the blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, foil the outside edges colored side up, rub with your fingertips to transfer the color, and remove the foil sheet. Reapply as needed.

For the next layer, die-cut a smaller frame rectangle shape with white cardstock and rub the front with gray ink to color it.

Using the gray rectangle frame as a guide, cut a piece of white cardstock to fit behind the opening. Stamp a grid pattern and stars with gray ink.

Using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on the back edges of the stamped cardstock and center on top of the foiled layer. The exposed Adhesive Sheet in the foiled layer will help secure in the center.

Finally, use the new 3D Foam Strips on the back of the gray frame and center it on the card front. It’s perfect to add dimension to a narrow frame like this!

Foiled Candle Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Foiled Candle

Now the fun part, adding the candle! Carefully peel three strips of the 3D Foam Strips together off the sheet and cut to length. Place them on the card front on top of the stamped white cardstock, remove the liner and foil with the blue foil, colored side up and rub to transfer. To add the flame, add the leaf shape from the 3D Foam Leaves, remove the top liner and foil with the gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors using the same steps as above. See how easy it is to make a foiled candle?

Completing the Card

To match the layered card panel, stamp the same grid pattern on white cardstock for verse piece and edge it with gray ink. After the ink dries, stamp It’s Your Special Day! in black ink and clear heat emboss it. Stamp a grey star as well. To make the foil borders at the top and the bottom, add Premium Double-Sided Tape ⅛-inch, remove the liner and cover with blue foil. Pop it up on the card with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

For the Make a Wish sentiment, stamp on a scrap piece of white cardstock with black ink and clear heat emboss. First fussy cut around it. Then create a foiled mat by adding a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to another piece of scrap white cardstock, peel the liner off and cover it with the blue foil. Attach the Make a Wish sentiment to the foiled piece with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Fussy cut around edges.

Designer’s Tip: use a blue marker to color edges.

Then fastened to the card front with 3D Foam Squares White Mix and you are done with the Foiled Candle Birthday Card! This bright card is a great masculine birthday card. Change the colors of foil and paper to make it appropriate for any birthday.

Thanks for Visiting!

Rainbow Cupcake Card Bases

First I started with an A2 card base and cut patterned paper to the same size. Next, I attached the paper with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots. After I cut the yellow striped paper to 3.75″ X 5″, I used Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft to adhere to the base paper.

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique

Hi, friends! Can you believe Valentine’s Day is just three weeks away? Teri here, and I’ve got a fun vellum shaker card you can make to tell your sweetheart you love them!

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Vellum Shaker Card Window

You’ll first want to do some cutting. You will need a card base, plus two cardstock panels and one vellum panel to fit on top. You’ll also want to cut a rectangle out of one of the cardstock panels.

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Sponge a little blue ink on the blue panel. It doesn’t need to look perfect. It just needs to add the look of texture.

Masking Technique

Also repeatedly apply removable dots with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to the second panel of cardstock. (Please note it’s key that you use removable adhesive and not permanent. You’ll see why in a minute.) Don’t worry if your dots overlap or your lines are uneven! It will add to the handmade look of your finished card!

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set the kraft panel of cardstock on a craft mat or a scratch piece of paper. Gently sponge brown ink onto the panel. Use your finger to rub off the adhesive!

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Shaker Feature

Flip the panel upside down and adhere the vellum onto it. Then “frame” the window with Crafty Foam Tape.

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Set a mixture of embellishments on the window. Sequins, beads and gems all make wonderful shaker filler! Adhere three die-cut hearts to the blue panel and affix the blue panel to the shaker window. Mount the shaker to a card created from cardstock.

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing off the Card

Decorate the shaker with stamped critters and die-cut hearts. (I used mice but you may want to use some other cute stamps! The decision is up to you.) Here’s a trick for adhering super small stamped images to a card. Set them upside down on a piece of scratch paper and apply adhesive to them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. It’s the perfect tool for getting adhesive completely on the small parts of those images!

Vellum Shaker Card with Masking Technique by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Complete the Vellum Shaker Card by stamping a sentiment on a strip of adhering it to the card with 3D Foam Squares. Add a few embellishments as well.

Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial

Hi, Ivy Pe here! Are you planning on a vacation soon? How about making custom luggage tags to accent your bags! I am so excited because we are going on a cruise – my husband’s first time! Using these Self-Laminating Tags with Loops will make it so easy. Let me show you!

Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial by Ivy Pe for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Custom Luggage Tags Instructions

These tags need to stick out so why not make my design BOLD with the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets. First I had to cut out my design with label paper to give it support and to make it a foiled sticker. Using the washi tape setting of my electronic file cutting machine, I cut my shape.

Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial by Ivy Pe for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once cut and peeled off the mat, I placed it cut side down on the Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6-in. Simply peel off the liner, place the paper down and replace the liner and rub the paper to transfer the adhesive.

Designer’s Tip: Burnish well with your fingertips, rounded side of a bone folder or plastic card for a good transfer.

Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial by Ivy Pe for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foiling My Design

Once you have your edge-to-edge adhesive coverage, you are ready to foil! There are five colors of the Metallic Transfer Foil in the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit. I chose the blue color. Place the color side up, over the design and gently rub the foil to transfer the color.

If you missed a spot or two, reapply the foil. I love that you don’t need a machine for this step. Instant gratification! LOL!

Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial by Ivy Pe for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Custom Luggage Tags Tutorial by Ivy Pe for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Tag Base

Cut two pieces of 2.25 x 3.34-inch patterned paper. one for the front and one for the back. Place the foiled design in the center of the front piece and our contact information on the back piece. Attach them together using the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots.

Now it’s the fun part! Center the cardstock onto the inside of the Self-Laminating Tag, making sure the color side is covering the contact information for a little privacy and the clear side is covering the design side. Pull the liner off and assemble the tag. Thread the loop through the opening and you’re done!

Adhesive Solutions for a Dimensional Layout

Hello crafty friends and welcome to 2020! Tracy here, and today I have my first creation of the new year. Today I am sharing a dimensional layout and some Adhesive Solutions for those tricky dimensional products. Keep reading for all of the details.

Adhesive Solutions for a Dimensional Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhesive Solution Ideas

I start by creating a simple layered background, matting the photo in white cardstock, then a larger mat of patterned paper and then another layer of white cardstock, all with the edges distressed. I’m useing the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser for the photo and then Crafty Foam Tape White for the other layers.

Adhesive Solution #1:

The first tricky piece that I need to adhere is the branch of flowers across the bottom of the layout. The layout is going to be framed and everything needs to be adhered securely place. I used Adhesive Lines across the entire branch to make sure it was firmly in place.

Adhesive Solutions for a Dimensional Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhesive Solution #2:

Continue to add the dimensional flowers around the photo and more around the branch. Here I’m using Adhesive Dots Medium to make sure all of these tricky pieces stay in place.

Adhesive Solutions for a Dimensional Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adhesive Solution #3:

The paper collection includes a stunning sheet of very intricate paper die cuts. As always, I wanted to pop these up to create lots of dimension. The tricky part is that most of them are very fine.

For this I cut very narrow strips of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix, then cut those into smaller pieces to fit each piece. I added them around the matted photo and the dimensional branch.
