Supplies for Your Masterpiece Card

Make Your Masterpiece Card Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the supplies needed, I collect cardstock, stamps, and ink. I grabbed the following adhesives to use in making this card: 3D Foam Pennants, 3D Foam Strips, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors, 3D Foam Squares White Small, Crafty Foam Tape 108ft., and E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Card Step Outs

Make Your Masterpiece Card Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
  1. Adhere a light blue cardstock panel to the black card base using E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.
  2. Stamp a woodgrain background with black ink to a piece of cream cardstock panel. Lift and adhere to the layered card base with Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.
  3. Stamp brush and paint tube images on cream cardstock and trim out. Add three different blue ink tones to the ends of the brushes and paint tube. Place a couple of 3D Foam Squares White Small on the ends. Set aside.
  4. Apply 3D Foam Pennants to patterned paper and trim out. Adhere to the upper right corner of the card front.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

Are you familiar with Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside concept? Instead of hiding the adhesives behind layers of material, we use them as accents or embellishments on our projects.

For my card, I will use 3D Foam Strips with the silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors. Simply remove the top liner of a 3D Foam Strip, place the silver foil (color side UP) over the exposed adhesive and rub gently with a fingertip. Then peel off and Done! No need for a special tool. If you missed a spot, just reapply.

Finish Off Your Masterpiece Card

Adhere the foiled strip to the card front below the foam pennants. This is a visual bar for the brushes and paint tube will be adhered to.

Stamp the sentiment with black ink and cream cardstock. Trim and ink with the same three blue ink tones. Let dry and place on to the card front with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Wrap Twine towards the bottom of the card panel. Done!

Floral Hug Card Tutorial

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a simple to make hug card. I think a lot of us would like to have or a real hug, but with Corona going around, a paper hug is probably the best way to show someone you care.

This card is really easy to make with the use of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. Let me show you how to make your own paper hug.

Floral Hug Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Floral Hug Card Base

Start with a card base made from a white rectangular-shaped base.

There are two card panels, one in purple cardstock that is cut slightly smaller than the card base. Adhere it using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

The top card panel is a floral patterned cardstock cut smaller than the purple cardstock panel. Secure it on top with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Card Panel

Start with the letters H.U.G. and sand them with fine-grade sandpaper. Next, whitewash paint them to give a distressed look.

Floral Hug Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To pop up the letters on the card front, I used Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. There is a reason why I want the letters lifted. In order to tuck the flower accents under the letters, I need the space. The Crafty Foam Tape 108ft is the perfect solution!

Floral Hug Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Designer’s Tip: For an easy way to adhere the letters in a straight line, use a ruler. Simply place the ruler on your card to align with the bottom edge of the floral panel and place the letters against the top edge of the ruler.

Floral Hug Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now grab a combination of the flowers, leaves, and stamens that match the colors of the top card panel.

Decide the placement and secure the flowers and leaves with Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin for a strong, permanent and flexible bond. There are no glue stains.  

Finally, I adhered the stamens underneath the sentiment with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Your Floral Hug Card is ready to be sent to someone who you would like to hug or someone who really needs that hug.

Wishing you happy crafting and stay safe!

Earth Day Suncatcher

Hi friends! Dana here with you today sharing a fun upcycle tutorial. I hope you are all staying healthy and safe, and are finding some time to be creative while social distancing. One benefit of not being able to make a run to the craft store is that I’m finding ways to incorporate what I already have at home into my art. I’ve become aware of how wasteful I can be and am going to try to be more green in my crafting. Earth Day is next week, so my revelation couldn’t have come at a better time!

Earth Day Suncatcher by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I upcycled the glass insert from the frame that I used for a previous Spring décor project, a segment of a broken necklace chain, and some of my favorite adhesive products to create this colorful Earth Day suncatcher. An everyday kitchen staple and some Double-Sided Tape were perfect materials to apply a faux soldered edge to the glass for a more polished finish.

Earth Day Suncatcher Embellishment

Adhesive Sheets adhere to a variety of surfaces, including glass! The clear permanent adhesive is perfect for this project where embellishments need to be translucent for light to shine through.

Earth Day Suncatcher by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Begin by using a permanent marker to transfer a simple image of the Earth onto a 4×6 Adhesive Sheet. I used an icon from a word processing document for my design.

Next, use scissors to carefully cut away the Adhesive Sheet both inside and outside of the design.

Then, peel away the yellow liner and press the Earth embellishment onto the center of a piece of glass.

Finally, remove the top protective layer from the Earth die-cut and sprinkle on green flocking power. Tap away the excess powder and flip the glass over for the next step.

Adding Color to the Suncatcher

Earth Day Suncatcher by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Apply glass paint to the back of the design and let dry.

Then, attach a length of chain to the glass for hanging. Start by cutting two short pieces of 1/8 inch Extreme Double-Sided Tape. Apply the tape to the top left and top right edges of the glass. Next, remove the red liner and press the chain onto the tape.

Cut pieces of 1/4 inch Double-Sided Tape to fit along the edges of the glass. Then, remove the white tape liners and press the tape around the edges of the glass, also coving the small length of the chain on the top sides of the glass.

To finish, press 1/4 inch strips of aluminum foil onto the double-sided tape.

Earth Day Suncatcher by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lastly, apply a small 3D Foam Heart onto the Earth. Remove the top white liner and sprinkle on red glitter. Tap of any excess glitter.

Earth Day Suncatcher by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Hang in the sun and enjoy!

Designer Note: This project is not weather-proof. Hang the finished project inside where it can filter the sunlight but is safe from the environment.

I hope I have inspired you to create with recycled materials to celebrate Earth Day! If you don’t have a piece of glass or glass paint on hand, try making this project using a clear plastic food container, permanent markers, and string.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little Pom Pom Card tutorial to share. With all of the uncertainty in the world these days, why not create and actually send some of those cards. Let’s bring back snail mail and put smiles on the faces of our loved ones. Here are all of the details.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Adding Trim and Paper Layers

First I gathered my supplies for my pom pom card. I choose four colours of the trim, strips of patterned paper that coordinated, a white card panel and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser, adhere the patterned paper to the white card panel. Then on top of the patterned paper, add a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place a black pom trim on top of the adhesive tape and add another piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in before adhering to another strip of patterned paper.

Next, add a patterned paper strip to the top edge and then on top add a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Place a white pom trim on top of that adhesive tape. Then keep building the trim and patterned paper layers as shown in images.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Once all the layers are added to the pom pom card, very narrow strips of patterned paper were cut. Add these on top of the trim edges with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in for a finished look.

Fun Pom Pom Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Punch a hole on one end of the die cut sentiment and thread a yellow burlap string to tie into a bow. Center the sentiment to the card front with 3D Foam Squares White Small Size. Voila! You have a super cute Pom Pom Card to send!

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page

Have you ever had an idea in your head that you just had to put onto paper? For today’s layout, that is exactly what happened to me! Late one night, I was thinking about Creative Photo Corners and making a giant flower with them. I started building and before I knew it, I was hours into a stunning layout with major “wow” factor. Christine, joining you today with a Creative Photo Corners Background Layout!

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

As I created this, I couldn’t help but think what a beautiful home decor piece this would make, if done on wood! But with all the stores closed, that isn’t an option at the moment. So a layout is what I stuck with, for now…

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating a Unique Textured Flower

Start off by drawing a 10-inch circle onto my base paper. Then I went around it adding Creative Photo Corners. Just overlapping ever so slightly as needed.

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

After I completed one circle, I added another. As you can see I overlapped each circle.

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I will be honest and say that as I added each layer, the circles got less circle like and more off-kilter. BUT in the end, it truly didn’t matter, the Creative Photo Corners Background was very forgiving ;).

Textured Flower Sweet Scrapbook Page by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Having created a very complicated background, the rest of the layout needed to be simple. I added the butterflies using 3D Foam Circles.

The entire thing came together to be super unique, full of texture, and so spring-like! If you’d like to see how the whole thing came together you can check out the process video here:

Stacked Happy Easter Card Tutorial

Hi, friends! Can you believe Easter is next week? Teri here to show you how to make a handmade stacked Happy Easter Card. This card is sure to make the recipient smile!

Stacked Happy Easter Egg Element

Die-cut four Happy Easter Egg shapes from white cardstock. Apply color to one of them with ink or markers. The colored die cut will be stacked on top.

Stack the white egg die cuts on top of each other to make one Happy Easter Egg shape. I find the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Dots® Petite Permanent Refillable Dispenser are perfect to use for this step, especially with an intricate design like this egg. When the adhesive rolls on the die cut, it sticks to the back and does not leave strings or residue in the open areas.

After you stack the die cuts with the colored one on top, apply tulle (or vellum) behind the egg’s opening. Set the egg aside.

Create the Card Front with Some Glitz

Make a card base from white cardstock. Add a square piece of patterned paper on the card front and then adhere two strips of patterned paper to cover the rest. Apply pieces of Extreme Double-Sided Tape on top where the square and strip of papers meet toward the top and bottom.

Remove the red liner and cover the tape with glitter. Press the glitter into the tape to secure and tap off excess. Now you have a little sparkle to your card. Not a fan of glitter? Use flock or our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets instead.

Complete your card by centering and lifting the Stacked Happy Easter Egg shape on the card front with a combination of 3D Foam Circles White Mix and 3D Foam Strips. Then add embellish the egg with rhinestones. Place three to five sequins to the background with Adhesive Dots Micro.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and are inspired to make your own Stacked Happy Easter Card for your loved ones and friends.

Happy creating!

Framed Easter Bunny Project

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. I made a cute Framed Easter Bunny project. It is a dimensional home decor piece and what a cute Easter decoration! Don’t you agree?

Frame Easter Bunny Project by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Another idea is to simply replace the Happy Easter sentiment with a child’s name to decorate a children’s bedroom. I am sure you will get lots of ooh’s and ahh’s when you gift this 3D bunny frame.

Framed Easter Bunny Base

Start with a wooden photo frame and removed the glass. Cut a piece of pink patterned paper to fit the frame and place it into the frame.

Die-cut and embossed two oval shapes from two different shades of green cardstock. Stack the smaller oval shape on top of the larger oval using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Frame Easter Bunny Project by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Bunny Head

Die-cut the bunny head with white cardstock. Fold the score lines of the pieces and assemble with a combination of the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in.

Once the bunny is assembled, adhere it onto the stacked oval shape.

Then secure the entire piece onto the photo frame with 3D Foam Squares White Small Size to create some extra depth.

Frame Easter Bunny Project by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Embellishing the Bunny

Secure mulberry flowers, stamens and leaves pieces with the Dual Tip Glue Pen around the top of the bunny. Tie a pink satin bow and place it by the right ear with Adhesive Dots Small. Lastly, adhere a Happy Easter sentiment to the frame by stacking two 3D Foam Squares on each end to lift it up for interest.

Frame Easter Bunny Project by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For a realistic look, slightly bend the bunny ears and voila…your Framed Easter Bunny Home Decor piece is ready! Isn’t it cute?

Wishing you happy Easter crafting!

Patchwork Easter Egg Cards

Hi, Connie here with a wonderful Patchwork Easter Egg Cards, pieced together with paper strips! Not only do you use up paper scraps but I show you how to create a shaped card.

I was inspired by fellow DT, Teri Anderson, and her Faux Paper Tape Technique post. Hmm, paper strips for a card front so why not on an egg-shaped card front? That is where I started…

Patchwork Easter Egg Cards Supplies

Let’s get the supplies I need first. For my adhesives, I am using the newly released, Crafty Foam Tape 108ft.! This roll will last me a good long while. LOL! In addition, I’ve added another newly released E-Z Runner® Grand Dots Repositionable. Along with the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. To round out my supplies, I have cardstock, patterned papers, stamps (or you can use stickers) and an egg shape pattern.

Egg Card Instructions

  1. Cut patterned papers into 4 x 1″ strips. Layer them on the front of a 4 x 6″ top-fold card base.
  2. Adhere the strips to the front of the card alternating between E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips and Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. for interest and dimension.
  3. Apply E-Z Runner® Grand Dots Repositionable to the back of the egg shape pattern. It will keep the pattern from shifting while you are cutting the egg shape. Designer’s Tip: the egg pattern can be hand-drawn or you can find a shape online.
  4. Cut around the egg pattern, leaving a small overhang on the top. You should have an egg-shaped top fold card when done cutting. Simply rub off the adhesive dots when finished.
  5. To embellish the cards, stamp the bunny images and sentiments on a piece of white cardstock. Then color the bunnies and sentiment backgrounds. Trim them out.
  6. Wrap twine around the card front and tie a bow secured with a button and Adhesive Dots Small. Next, place 3D Foam Circles Mix White on the backs of the stamp images and adhere them to complete the Easter cards.

Don’t you love how these Patchwork Easter Egg Cards came out? I hope you try this!

Wishing you have a wonderful Easter and enjoy your family time.

DIY Cow Print Paper with Adhesive Sheets

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a scrapbook layout documenting my trip to a dairy farm. The animal print patterned paper that I had in my stash is great for wildlife, but not so good for the farm yard. I solved my problem by creating a DIY Cow Print Paper using Adhesive Sheets and flocking powder.

DIY Cow Print Paper with Adhesive Sheets by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

DIY Cow Print Patterned Paper

DIY Cow Print Paper with Adhesive Sheets by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I’m really pleased with how my cow print paper turned out! It is soft to touch, just like a real cow. I hand cut shapes from a 6×12 Adhesive Sheet and then sprinkled on flocking powder. The 6×12 Adhesive Sheet was the perfect size to fill about half of a 12×12 piece of cardstock. Adhesive Sheets are available in a variety of sizes to fit your crafting needs. If you’d like to see the complete tutorial, please CLICK HERE.

Adding Dimension with Embellishments

DIY Cow Print Paper with Adhesive Sheets by Dana Tatar for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The design of this page is simple, so I added interest to the layout with textured embellishments like corrugated cardboard and foam letter stickers, embossed paper flowers, cow print flocked shapes, and twine.

I used 3D Foam to add height to the page. 3D Foam Squares worked great to raise the second photo off the base of the page. I used 3D Foam Circles to secure the paper flowers to the layout.

Micro Adhesive Dots are the perfect size to help hold the twine bow in place.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to try creating your own patterned papers! Until next time,

Happy Crafting Scrap Card

Hello friends! Judy here today with a “scrap card” of sorts in my Happy Crafting Card. The background and stamped cat came from my pile of saved bits and pieces on my work table. From there I added verses, inking and stenciling on the background and stamped wood floor. This epitomizes my crafting style! I often work on the floor (Yes, I really do!) and I have a mess of scraps all around me!

Happy Crafting Scrap Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Happy Crafting Card Background

With my colored background card panel, I stenciled alphabet, numbers, dots, and circuits with Distress Inks on top. Next, rub ink into various areas and along the edges. Attach to a white 4.5 x 5.75-inch white card base using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Happy Crafting Scrap Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Elements

For the floor piece, use Kraft cardstock, stamp with wood grain and rub with Distress Ink. Then hand cut the edges to fit my card. Since this is a thick and inked paper, I used a strong adhesive – E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

The wonky rectangle was a happy accident. I cut several rectangles that I didn’t like. Then I noticed the scrap rectangle on my floor! I do almost all my die cutting on the floor because my table is very small. It’s too much bother to clear it off to put a die cutting machine on it! Cut the rectangle from Kraft card stock and colored with Distress inks. I used 3D Foam Strips to pop it up and attach it to the card. Perfect for the narrow frame!

Happy Crafting Scrap Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Stamping Out the Details

Use the stamped cat, which was stamped with black ink on white card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, and color with alcohol markers. He reminds me of my cat Bravo! Another reason this card fits with my crafting style, I usually have at least one of my three cats in my room when I’m working! Pop the cat on the card with 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

The verses were stamped with black ink on white card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Just add color with Distress inks. “Happy Crafting” is fussy cut and matted with white card stock put together with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Place pieces of 3D Foam Strips at each end and center to hold it in place over the frame. Avoid it being higher than the frame. Add the verse strip below it with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. The narrow adhesive strips are perfect for small word strips! It was also used to secure the word strips at bottom of the card.

Happy Crafting Scrap Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Final Touches

My final touch was to add tiny scrap paper pieces around the cat! I added a piece of string, too. These are all attached with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. I found it easiest to use on such tiny pieces.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun Happy Crafting Card! Remember, use up those scraps! Stay well!

Thanks for Visiting!
