Watercolor the image with Inktense Pencils.
Die-cut the Llama panel and a blue panel with a Notched Rectangle Die.

Die-cut two additional Happy pieces from blue cardstock and glue these together using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Now glue the embossed Happy on top of the blue Happy, offsetting it so that the blue can be seen under it.

Good Life Happy Memories Card

Posted on April 29, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Edit to Add: The Insta Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winner, @pegasong! 🎉

Hello crafty friends! Today it’s all about Whimsy stamps on the blog. But all week, we are collaborating with them in an Instagram Hop! It is Day 4 and details are at the bottom of this post. My contribution is this card featuring The Mailbox stamp set. It recalls happy memories of quiet days. It’s such a pretty scene to stamp and color. Let me walk you through my process.

Good Life Happy Memories Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Good Life Happy Memories Card Basics

To make this card, first stamp The Mailbox scene with Versafine Onyx Black ink on the smooth side of watercolor paper. I used my Misti so I could stamp more than once if needed to get a good image. Heat set ink or allow to dry thoroughly before water coloring image.

I like watercolors and chose to use those for coloring. Markers will work well, too. Paint the image with watercolors. Let dry and trim close to stamped image – about 3.375 x 4.25 inches. For the mat, cut white cardstock to 3.75 x 4.625 inches. Then cut a red cardstock mat just slightly larger than the white mat.

Creating the Panels

Adhere the watercolor panel to the white mat using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. This adhesive is strong which makes it ideal for watercolor paper which often curls after painting and needs a strong adhesive to keep it flat.

Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of white mat. Fasten to red mat. E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser is my favorite adhesive dispenser! It’s small and fits my hand well. E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser can be used but it’s not necessary here although I often use it on the corners to be sure they stay in place!

Make the Card Front

Form white cardstock to make a side open card that’s 4.5 x 6.5 inches. Cut yellow cardstock mat 4.375 x 6.375 inches and secure the yellow mat to the card front using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to back of matted stamped image. Remove liners and attach to the card front.

Good Life Happy Memories Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and fussy cut around it.

Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix small squares at top of the sentiment and then apply 3D Foam Squares White Mix along the bottom. Check how it lays on card before placing. If not level, add Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on top of 3D Foam Squares White Mix as needed so it lays flat. It will overlap the stamped image where it’s raised and bottom rests on card. Remove liners and fasten verse on card. It’s ready to be sent out!

I hope you enjoyed this Good Life Happy Memories card!

HapBee BeeDay Mixed Media Card

Posted on April 26, 2021 by Margie Higuchi

Edit to Add: The Insta Hop & Giveaway is Closed. Thank You for Participating!!
Congratulations to the winner, @pegasong! 🎉

Can you stand this stinkin’ cute HapBee BeeDay Mixed Media Card? I am so excited to share with you this project BEEcause Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Whimsy Stamps are collaborating on an Instagram Hop & Giveaway this week! Before we get to the hop, let me show you my cardmaking photo tutorial. Stick around to the end, we’ll take you to the link.

HapBee BeeDay Mixed Media Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

HapBee BeeDay Honeycomb Die Cut

Use a piece of black cardstock and apply 3D Foam Creative Sheet Medium to the back. Die-cut it with the Honeycomb Pattern Die. Designer’s Note: Because it is intricate, I rolled it through the machine about two to three times. Set aside.

Inking a Background

On a 4.25 x 5.5-inch white card panel, I inked the background with Distressed Oxide in Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, and Dried Marigold. Then I misted water on it and let dry. It creates a wonderful mixed media backdrop for my card design. 🙂

Stamping Elements

Next, I stamped a sweet bee with a flower from the Bee Happy Rubber Cling Stamp Set on white cardstock and colored it with watercolor pencils. When done, I fussy cut it and set it aside. Next, I stamped the sentiment, cut it to a ribbon tail, and mat it with black cardstock.

Adding Accents

Using the card elements as a guide, I determined where to place my Adhesive Dots Small. Take off the liners to pour gold glitter on top, press to secure, and tap off the excess. As a result, I have glittered accents for my card panel.

To add more accents, I used the Creative Photo Corners in Gold on all four corners of the card panel and secured it on the black card base.

Assembling the Card

To finish, take off the liner from the back of the honeycomb pattern die cut and place it on the panel. Next, place 3D Foam Circles White on the back of the bee and adhere it to the left of the honeycomb. Add the sentiment to the bottom right corner with the E-Z Runner Petite Permanent Dots. Lastly, add the honeycomb pieces around the panel and the HapBee BeeDay Card is done!

Thanks for buzzing on in to see my HapBee BeeDay Card! Hope to see you again. Keep scrolling down to go to the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L + Whimsy Stamps Instagram Hop & Giveaway – click the image to take you there!

Fun and Colorful Mini Cards

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Teri Anderson

Hi, everyone! There’s just something about leaving a note for someone special and letting them know you care for them! Teri here with some colorful mini cards to do just that!

Fun and Colorful Mini Cards by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

These cards came together quickly by using pre-cut frame die-cuts. Don’t have any frame die-cuts? You easily make your own frames from patterned paper by cutting rectangles or squares and slicing rectangles or squares out of the insides.

Frame and Build Colorful Mini Cards

Start by creating a base for your frame by folding a piece of cardstock in half and trimming it to fit under the frame. Add a piece of patterned paper (or two) behind the frame and adhere it the card.

Decorate the inside of your frame with stickers or die-cuts. Also, my frame for this card had a small heart die-cut built into it so I adhered it to the frame with a foam square.

You’ll also want to decorate your frame. Consider using foam strips to add lines to your card, plus try using foam circles to make dots. You can also create a scalloped border by cutting foam circles in half and then lining them next to each other.

Once you’ve adhered your pieces of foam to your colorful mini card, dump flock onto them. Be sure to burnish the flock completely to the foam so there’s there is not sticky adhesive exposed.

Complete your card by adding a few gems or sequins to the design.

Two More Takes on Colorful Mini Cards

I created this card a little differently.

While I still designed it around the frame, I added two strips of foam inside the frame. I also added a small scalloped border to one of the strips.

For added pop, I tied some twine around the die-cut sentiment and affixed it the card with 3D Foam Squares.

This colorful mini card was also created differently. Once again, I built the design around the frame die-cut. To give the card pop, I adhered the frame to the card with foam strips.

I added a 3D Foam Circle Frame to the middle of the card and put sticker sentiment on top of it. (Creative tip! To keep the sticker from collapsing in the middle, I added a couple foam squares to the middle of it!) Then I applied foam onto the circle frame. I love how it gives this mini card a hint of texture!

I sure hope these fun and colorful mini cards will make their intended recipients smile, and my fingers are crossed they do the same for you!

Happy creating,
Teri Anderson

Dimensional Unicorn Layout

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I’m sharing what I used to create this pretty little unicorn layout with loads of dimension. Here are all the details on how I created by Dimensional Unicorn Layout.

Dimensional Unicorn Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add Dimension Like a Pro

I love to create layouts packed full of texture and dimension. With that comes some tricky things to adhere. Here are some tips. I started creating this layout by tracing a circle (you can use a place or a bowl) in the middle of the background patterned paper. I then used different coordinating coloured pearls to create the wreath around the layout. Some of these were self adhesive, but all of the coloured pearls I had to adhere myself and I used Adhesive Dots Micro.

In the bottom right hand corner of my Dimensional Unicorn Layout I added a large clusters of dimensional flowers. For all of the stems, leaves and flowers I used Adhesive Dots Medium to add them. Sometimes I used more than 1 Adhesive Dot Medium on the flowers, depending on how uneven the backs of them were.

Mat the photo in white cardstock and then cut similar sized pieces of patterned paper that are used as the photos backdrop. I off-set each slightly and adhered them to the background using a combination of Crafty Foam Tape White and E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Add the matted photo to the patterned layers using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Finally I added the laser-cut ephemera. I wanted these pieces to stand out from the layered patterned paper in this dimensional layout. So I often used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix combined with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, this keeps dimension between all layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Vintage File Board Cover

Posted on April 19, 2021 by Connie Mercer

Hi, Connie here with a really cool project. It’s a Cover, for a lack of a better word, to be placed in front of a Vintage File Board. The Self-Laminating Pouches-cards XL made this task easy to achieve. And I almost left out FUN!!!

Vintage File Board Cover by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I keep track of all my design work and dates so I don’t forget. It is also a great place to keep track of products, magazines, and other industry information that is important to me. This can be easily re-designed by using pattern paper and calendar pages for the inside.

Vintage File Board Supplies

Gather some of my HomeHobby products and faithful E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser as my foundation. Also, an Alphabet stamp set, and a Calendar stamp set, together with the Archival Black ink. My project is centered around an 8 x 10″ vintage photo.

Vintage Cover Instructions

Stamp all the letters, months and numbers, on white cardstock, with black ink, and trim out. Using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser, mat the vintage photo to the black cardstock.
Add the title (MONTHLY) to the front of the photo with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser. Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ to a strip of cardstock.
Remove the liner and add each letter on the cardstock strip creating the word, ASSIGNMENTS. This makes it easier to get the placement of each letter correct.
Adhere under the word MONTHLY with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Inside Pages and Cover

Use the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ to secure each month and year stamped cut out onto each area on the page.
When the pages are completed set aside and let’s work on the cover.
Insert the Vintage Photo inside the Self-Laminating Pouches/Cards XL (making sure it is straight and the margins on all sides are equal). Gently pull the release sheet back. I used a Hockey puck to rub back and forth for a smooth finish. It worked great!
Lastly, make a strip for the top of the cover to be punched. With the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″, adhere both the front and back of the Vintage Photo Cover. Punch two holes so it will fit on the Vintage File Board.

Morse Code Message Card

Posted on April 17, 2021 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone! Yvonne van de Grijp here with a fun and unique way to make a greeting in this Morse Code Message card. For the card front, I chose to add words with the code to read them easier, but you can create a secret message and let them figure it out. Isn’t this a fun idea? Using Adhesive Lines and Adhesive Dots Micro makes the code with ease!

Morse Code Message Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let me show you how to step it up a notch with a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside for extra sparkle! This card is super easy to make, perfect for beginning card makers so let’s get started!

A Glittered Morse Code Message

Start by finding the Morse Code alphabet on the internet and write down the code for the text you want to add to your card. I chose the text “I love you”.

Then trim a piece of white cardstock to a rectangular size for a card panel. Adhering two Adhesive Dots Micro (representing the letter “I”) onto the white card panel.

Remove the liners and sprinkle black glitter upon the dots. Rub the glitter with your finger into the dot to secure and tap off excess. This technique, making your adhesive into embellishments is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Now adhere in Morse Code the word “love” onto the card panel using a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Lines. Repeat the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique but this time with red glitter.

Continue until you completed your greeting in Morse Code.

Making the card base

Adhere the glittered morse code card panel onto a red card panel mat using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finally, adhere on a white card base, using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Adding Words

For a finishing touch, I used tiny letters and word stickers. To “translate” the Morse code into words I first adhere the letters in front of the corresponding morse letters. Then finished the card by adding the words “always & forever.”

Voilá! Your Morse Code Message Card is ready. It is a unique presentation and I hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial. Give it a try!

Wishing you happy crafting!

3D Foam Circle Frames Shakers

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana here today sharing a fun way to use the new 3D Foam Circle Frames on a scrapbook layout. I modified old chipboard flowers from my stash into beautiful flower shakers in a couple easy steps.

3D Foam Circle Frames Shakers by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I took the old chipboard from drab to fab by using colorful paint pens. 3D Foam Circle Frames, a colorful shaker mix, and a piece of acetate make fun shaker centers for the flower embellishments.

3D Foam Circle Frames Shaker Assembly

First, I used a paint pen to color a chipboard flower. After the paint dried I applied 3D Foam Circle Frames to the center of the chipboard flower. Next, I filled the center of the frame with a fun Sparkletz shaker mix, which includes small beads, rhinestones, sequins, and pearls.

I cut a piece of acetate to fit over the frame to seal the shaker feature. Then I applied a layer of paint around the edge of the frame to add a pop of color and to cover the white foam circle. Finally, I applied a layer of glitter glue over the paint for a sparkly finish.

Embellishing the Page

Arrange the shaker flowers across the page on a diagonal and fill in the white space with smaller die-cuts and stickers. Grouping the embellishments by color is a fun way to fill in the background.

I hope I have inspired you to create your own embellishments. Thanks for stopping by today!

Foiled Floral Anniversary Card

Posted on April 15, 2021 by Jamie Martin

Hi, Jamie here with a Foiled Floral Anniversary card to share! Isn’t it stunning?! I show how to create this look without a foiling machine. Use this technique on any of your card creations and WoW your friends with a foiled handmade card!

Foiled Floral Anniversary Card by Jamie Martin for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Foiled Floral Anniversary Card Cover

Place an Adhesive Sheet on the back of white cardstock and die-cut with the floral card cover die. Remove the Adhesive Sheet liner and place the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet on the top color side UP. With your fingertips, gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the die cut. Then peel off to reveal the shimmery metallic color! Yes, it’s that easy! If you see missed areas, simply reapply the foil.

Adhesive Lines were thin enough to be placed around the edge of the die-cut frame and were perfect to adhere to a textured decorative paper panel!

Embellish the Heart

After die-cutting a heart from pink cardstock, stamp a sentiment and emboss it with Champagne Embossing Powder. Pop up the heart with 3D Foam Circles onto the card. Apply Metallic Transfer Foil on the super cute butterfly from the 3D Foam Butterflies using the same step as the frame. Next, adhere to the heart and add two pink rhinestones to its body.

The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to glue this panel onto a pink card, the glue gives you time to move the panel around to make sure that’s it’s straight and it doesn’t warp your paper or have an odor. That’s it!

Vintage Train Birthday Card

Posted on April 13, 2021 by Judy Hayes

Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card with a vintage look. The antique train image set the stage for it! I added black photo corners at the image corners and on the corners of the card. It makes me think of an old photo album. Let me show you how to create this Vintage Train Birthday Card.

Vintage Train Birthday Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Vintage Train Focal Point

My design started with the train image stamped in black on watercolor paper. I wanted to keep a somewhat neutral color palette. It ended up with a touch of green, too. After painting, I tore the paper edges to the size I liked, about 3.5 x 5 inches.

Card Panel Layers

Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to fasten train image to black cardstock.. E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser is super strong adhesive that works well for watercolor paper since it’s thick and often wants to curl.

I chose a tan cardstock cut to 8 x 7.75 inches and folded it in half to form a 4 x 7.75 inch card.

Vintage Train Card Details

To stamp the brackets at top and bottom of the train image, use a stamping platform, almost a must to get them in center and straight and also use it to stamp “Happy Birthday”.

Adhere the train image by using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive along edges and center. On each corner, place a photo corner from Creative Photo Corners Black and place it on the card front.
