Foiled Mermaid Card Tutorial

Welcome back, crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little foiled mermaid card to share. I am using a fun foiling technique to create scales using Metallic Transfer Foils in Variety colors.

Foiled Mermaid Card Tutorial by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A Foiled Mermaid Tail

Cover a section of coordinating cardstock with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Make sure it is large enough for the mermaid stamp image. Then using the teal Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets cover the adhesive with the teal side facing up, press firmly and peel back the foil to reveal the foiled mermaid tail.

Repeat the same process with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets for the tail fin and the seashell top, this time using the purple foil to create the foiled scales.

Next, using the stamp and black permanent ink, stamp the images on top of the foiled sections. Fussy cut the foiled and stamped sections.

Easy Foil Scales

Inking the Background

Create a simple blended background using water-reactive ink and a blending tool, going from the light inside to dark on the outside.

I splattered the blended background with water and let dry and then stamped the sentiment in the corner with black ink.

Adhere the background to the pink cardstock mat using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser, then adhere that to the white cardstock base using Crafty Foam Tape White, so it has a little bit of dimension between the layers.

Stamp the mermaid image once more onto white cardstock and add colour to the remaining sections using alcohol markers. Fussy cut out the coloured section.

Add the fussy cut foiled mermaid image to the card using 3D Foam Squares Small White Size. Using glitter glue, add some sparkle to the seashell and the mermaid’s headband. I also added a line around the edge of the pink cardstock layer.

Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page Tutorial

Hi, Connie here! When I scrapbook a page, I like to include ALL the photos of that event. Today I have a scrapbook page with a pocket designed to hold a lot of photos. That is where the pocket comes in.

When creating a pocket to hold photos you need strong adhesives, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to the rescue!

Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making a Pocket Full of Photos

Step 1 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The filmstrip idea is perfect for showcasing many photos on a page. 16 photos tell my story!!

Step 2 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

There are two ways to create the filmstrip look: use a stamp like I have, or with cardstock and a white gel pen.

To use the latter method, double mat photos on white and black cardstock. With a white gel pen create the filmstrip slots on the black cardstock.

Step 3 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I stamped four images with a filmstrip stamp and black ink. Then cut the stamped design down the middle to create a left side strip and a right side strip. With the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in., add a line of tape on each side. Refer to the photos to show how the photo filmstrips come together.

Step 4 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Pocket Page

The next step is to create the pocket page. Layer patterned paper along with coordinating cardstock to create the scrapbook page front with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Add the zig-zag border to the top and bottom of the pocket. Using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. to both sides and the bottom of the pocket. Adhere to page.

Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 5

Take a few 3D Foam Squares White in Regular size to adhere to the pumpkins to the front of the pocket.

Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 6

Apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the leaves to the pumpkins along with the title of the page. Add stickers to enhance the clusters of pumpkins.

Step 7 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Grab and add a vintage library card and envelope for the journal spot.  You need a special place to tell the story.

Step 8 Pumpkin Patch Pocket Page by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Accent a corner of the envelope with one of the Creative Photo Corners Black. I hope I’ve inspired you to scrap enough photos to tell your story even if that is 16 photos.

Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a cute snowy Christmas card. I added 3D Foam Circles  White Mix for an easy and fun glittered snowy effect on the card. This technique is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. Using this technique, you can perfectly match embellishments to your holiday cards. I’ll show you in detail in my tutorial.

Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Snowy Christmas Card Instructions

First cut some white and soft blue glittered paper into hill shapes using scissors.

Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 1

Apply E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser over the back of the glittered paper. Make sure to run the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser along the bottom straight edgee so that a die cut can be tucked in between the layers.

Step 2 Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then adhere the layers to a piece of white cardstock. Next cut off the excess parts using scissors. Then trim the card panel to the desired size using a paper trimmer.

Adhering Santa and Friends with Depth

By using the various thicknesses of 3D Foam Squares, you can add depth to your card.  The Santa die cut is adhered with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. For a subtle depth, I secured the elves with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Thin 3D Foam is half the height of the regular 3D Foam. See this post comparing 3D Foam for more details. Note the cute girl elf gift box were tucked in between the hilly layers.

Snow with 3D Foam Circles

3D Foam Circles White is a super-easy way to add a fun glittered snow effect to your card.

To “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside,” randomly adhere 3D Foam Circles White to the top part of the card.

Step 4 Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Then remove the white liners and sprinkle on white glitter. Press the glitter into the 3D Foam Circles White to make sure it’s secured.

Snowy Christmas Card with 3D Foam Circles by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 5

Tap off the excess glitter to reveal the “snow.” That is how to “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” and is such a fun + EASY technique!

Making Card Layers

First, trim a piece of soft blue cardstock to a size slightly larger than the white top panel and adhere the top panel onto the blue panel using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Then adhere
both panels to a white card base using the E-Z
Runner®
Grand Refillable Dispenser

Cornucopia Favors for Thanksgiving

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing how to create cornucopia favors for Thanksgiving. I’ve hosted Thanksgiving many times, and there always seems to be some unforeseen delays no matter how well I plan. These colorful favors add a festive element to your tablescape and guests can enjoy a sweet treat to help tide them over until the main meal is served.

Mini Cornucopia Thanksgiving Favors with Foiled Letters and Colorful Leaves

I love to create projects that are fun to touch! Caning isn’t just for furniture! Its flexibility when softened makes it really fun to craft with. I added color to this cornucopia project with die-cut leaves, tissue paper, and Metallic Transfer Foil, Holographic colors.

Creating Cornucopias from Caning

How To Cut Caning For Crafts

Use scissors to cut rectangles of caning to measure about 7 inches by 4.5 inches.

How to Cut Caning to Create Mini Cornucopias

Use scissors to cut away the bottom left and right corners as shown.

How to Soften Caning with Water

Soak the caning pieces in water for 3 to 5 minutes until pliable.

How to Mold Caning into Mini Cornucopias

Roll the caning pieces into a cornucopia shape and secure with string. Let the caning dry overnight. When the string is cut away the caning holds its shape.

Festive Accents

How to Secure Paper Leaves to Cornucopias with Micro Adhesive Dots

Adhere colorful die-cut paper leaves to the underside of each cornucopia using Micro Adhesive Dots.

How to Add Holographic Foil to Chipboard Letters Using Adhesive Sheets

Cut small squares from an Adhesive Sheet. Remove the yellow liner and press the adhesive onto the bottom of chipboard letters. Peel away the back liner and cover the adhesive with Holographic Metallic Transfer Foil. Lift off the foil to reveal the foiled letters.

How to Embellish Thanksgiving Favors Using 3D Foam Circles

Secure a foiled letter to each cornucopia using Small 3D Foam Circles.

Mini Cornucopia Thanksgiving Favor with Foiled Letters and Colorful Leaves

Insert a contrasting color of tissue paper into each cornucopia and fill with a treat.

Until next time!

Give Thanks Foiled Leaves Card

Hello! Judy here today. I’ve put together a pretty Give Thanks card with Foiled Leaves accents. These metallic shiny leaves are easy to make with Adhesive Sheets and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets.

Give Thanks Foiled Leaves Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Foiled Leaves

To make the leaves, apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to black cardstock. Then die-cut the leaves by placing the die on the side with adhesive. Keep the liner on when die cutting!

Peel the adhesive liner off and cover it with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors, but sure to place them with the ‘pretty’ side up, the dull silver side to the adhesive. Use each of the gold sheets on three of the leaves. For the other two leaves, I used purple from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. They are just so pretty!

Next, buff them with a cloth to give an aged look and attach to the card front with Adhesive Dots Micro.

Give Thanks Foiled Leaves Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Behind the leaves is a layer of dark brown card stock that I stamped with gold ink. I poked holes along the edge for the look of faux stitching. Adhere using E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to a white cardstock card panel cut like a postage stamp edge. I inked the edges with water-based inks. Fasten the layered panel to a script patterned cream card panel with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. The card measures 4.25 x 6-inches.

Foiling the Sentiment

Die-cut the word, “Thanks,” from a sheet of black 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Leave the word in the die and remove the adhesive liner from the back. Press the die against the card stock to get “thanks” to stick in place and pull the die away. It’s a bit tricky to do but keeps the word in its shape.

Remove the top liner and apply purple foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors and rub it well. You can rub it with a cloth for an aged look. Stamp the word GIVE on dark brown cardstock and heat embossed with gold. Pop up the paper with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Give Thanks Foiled Leaves Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Tie a bow with a gold cord inside of a purple ribbon secure in place with Adhesive Dots Small. This is a different fall color combination that I’m used to but I like how it turned out!

A Textured Background using Creative Photo Corners

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little texture filled background featuring White Creative Photo Corners on my Shine Like the Stars card.

I love creating with Creative Photo Corners in different ways than JUST holding your photo. Using the same colour of corner and creating a pattern makes a gorgeous textured background for any project.

Texture Background with Creative Photo Corners by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Textured Background Step Outs

Start by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 3.5 x 4.75-inches. Beginning at the bottom, create rows of Creative Photo Corners White. The first row should have five complete Photo Corners. For the second row, start with half of a photo corner and continue up the card repeating this pattern.

Continue this pattern until you have about 1-inch at the top. Cut a piece of patterned paper that is 3.5 x 1-inch, and a border strip to go on top. Adhere these to the top of the background piece using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Cut green cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inches and patterned paper to 4 x 5.25-inches. Adhere the patterned piece to the white cardstock base, and the textured background piece to the green cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Adhere the green matted textured piece to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Complete the card by adding the sentiment sticker using Crafty Foam Tape White, and then a few star embellishments.

Snow Globe Shaker Ornament Tutorial

Welcome! Shellye McDaniel here today with a DIY Snow Globe Shaker Ornament. This project tutorial is great for kids and adults!

Snow Globe Shaker Instruction

I started with a clear, disposable cup with lid. I found a package of these at my local dollar store. The cup measures approximately 2 x 2 inches.

Step 1 Snow Globe Shaker Ornament by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

First, I attached a mini snowman figurine and two tiny bottle brush trees to the inside of the lid with Adhesive Dots 3D.

Step 2 Snow Globe Shaker Ornament by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For the hanger, I used a piercing tool to create a hole in the top. With an embroidery needle, thread the Baker’s Twine through the opening and back to make a loop. Cut the end and double knot to secure.

Snow Globe Shaker Ornament by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 3

To create a snowy background to the inside of the cup, I used 3D Foam Circles White Mix in the small size. I randomly placed them behind the snowman (using it as a guide). Sprinkle glitter and tap off excess. Done!

Make the Shaker

Finally, I added a small handful of glittery snow into the cup. To attach the cup to the lid, I ran a bead of the Dual Tip Glue Pen around the edge. Place the lid onto the cup to seal. To dress up where the cup and lid conjoin, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to attach the Baker’s Twine. Perfect!

Snow Globe Shaker Ornament by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 4

For the base, I wanted to be sturdy so I used a combination of a 3-inch scalloped circle die, lightweight chipboard, paper, and a sheet of Adhesive Sheet 4x6in.

Snow Globe Shaker Ornament by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Step 5

Now isn’t that the cutest ornament? It would look great as part of a tablescape too! With some help, these make a great craft for older children, tweens, and teens too! Here is a second look at the Snow Globe Shaker Ornament.

Good Vibes with Glittery Banners on Cards

Hi, everyone! Teri here to show you how to make fun banners with 3D Foam Pennants, glitter and a few other basic supplies for your card!

A Banner Idea

Let’s get going! Start by randomly adhering several strips of patterned paper onto a card front. Making a scrapbook page? Use a large piece of cardstock as the base for a layout instead.

Now take three fishtail banners from the 3D Foam Pennants. Leave the liner paper on one side. Dip them into glitter, covering completely them with the sparkly stuff. Remove the excess glitter and liner, and tack them onto your project.

Cut a piece of twine and tie a bow at one end of it. Use Adhesive Dots Micro to mount the twine to your card. Cut the excess twine with your scissors. It’s that simple!

Cardmaking Accents

Complete your banners by adding another 3D Foam Shape and burnishing Metallic Foil Transfer Sheets Holographic Colors onto it. Butterflies, Flowers and Hearts all look wonderful on banners. Be sure to pick out a 3D Foam shape that is appropriate for your card!

Place three 3D Foam Circles onto your card. Remove the liner paper and dump glitter over them. When you remove the excess, you’ll end up with something that looks like faux brads.

To finish, stamp a sentiment, I’m using “Sending Good Vibes,” onto a strip of cardstock. Place it onto your card with 3D Foam Circles White Mix.

Make Some More!

You can easily recreate these banners. I followed the same design formula to make a second card.

Slight changes were made. I changed the look of the card front by placing the patterned papers in a different way. The butterfly from 3D Foam Garden Shapes is adhered at a different angle on the banner.

Rather than placing the sentiment strip on it in the same place as the first card, I affixed it slightly higher on this one.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Happy creating!

Foiled Thankful Card Tutorial

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. The beautiful colors of autumn inspired me to make this card with a foiled Thankful sentiment. Using Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch with Metallic Transfer Foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil, you can easily make your own foiled word stickers. Let me show you how.

Foiled Thankful Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Autumn Colors in the Tree

Die-cut and emboss a tree from dark brown cardstock. Set aside to work on the leaf die cuts.

To make the colored leaf die cuts, first ink a piece of Kraft cardstock using a dauber and autumn colored inks. Simple dab circle shapes with the dauber in various colors and let dry thoroughly.

Once the ink colors dry, die-cut and emboss the leaf shapes. You will have beautiful colored autumn leaves!

Adhere the leaves to the tree using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. TIP: I cut the 3D Foam Squares into small thin stripes to fit behind the die cut.

Making the Card Panels

Die-cut and emboss an old book page into a rectangle shape. To alter the panel, use an ink blending tool and a brown ink pad.

Mat it on a piece of dark brown cardstock and adhere using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

Next adhere the embellished autumn tree die cut to the panel using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

With a black fine-liner, draw some horizontal lines at the foot of the tree to anchor the design.

Foiled Thankful Card Tutorial by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut a piece of green and orange satin ribbon. Wrap the slightly wider green satin ribbon around the panel and adhere it to the back using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong. Then wrap the orange ribbon on top of the green ribbon and the card panel, adhere the same way.

Adhere the finished card panel onto an olive green cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong. Then mat upon a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong.

Make a Foiled Thankful Sentiment Sticker

Adhere a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the back of the dark brown cardstock by removing the yellow liner and placing cardstock onto the adhesive. Make sure to transfer the adhesive well by burnishing with your fingers or a bone folder.

See a 1 minute How to Use Adhesive Sheets for Die-Cutting and More video below.

Now to make the cardstock into a foiled sentiment! Adhere a piece of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to the front of the cardstock, using the same process as above.

Remove the white liner from the front side of the cardstock and place a piece of red foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil. Apply the foil colored side UP. Transfer the foil by burnishing gently with your fingers.

Peel away the foil sheet and die-cut the sentiment. Remove the liner from the back side and adhere the foiled Thankful sticker to the card base.

To complete the card, adhere fall colored rhinestones to the tree. Since my rhinestones are not self-adhesive, I am using Adhesive Dots Micro.

And voila…your foiled Thankful card is ready.

Holiday Kraft Gift Tag Tutorial

Hi, it’s Connie Mercer here with some holiday kraft gift tags that make a fresh loaf of pumpkin bread look even better. For these sweet gifts I’m using 3D Foam Squares Black Regular Size to give the tag that lift I was looking for. Dimension is a good thing, right?!

Holiday Kraft Gift Tag Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My supplies include stamps, ink, pre-cut tags, E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, 3D Foam Squares Black Regular Size, and Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch. In addition, you will need brown paper bags for wrapping the mini loaves. Lunch bags work great!

Holiday Kraft Gift Tag Tutorial by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Holiday Kraft Gift Tag Tutorial

To create the tags, stamp foliage on each tag in green ink. Stamp the sentiment on kraft cardstock and trim them down to a label size.

Add the 3D Foam Squares Black in Regular Size to the back of the sentiment labels and then adhere the sentiments to the bottom of each tag.

Add berries and splatter with white acrylic paint.

Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, add strips of adhesive to the back of the tag reinforcement piece. Then add it to the top of the tag, around the hole.

Open up the brown paper bag, cut out the bottom of it, and wrap it around the mini loaf. Secure the sides with the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Wrap twine around the mini loaf and tie on the gift tag with the twine.

Add a label with the flavor of the bread on the front of the wrapped mini loaf using  Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8-inch. The label will not get lost or fall off with this strong adhesive. It’s perfect for this!
