Scrapbook Adhesives DT – Love To Scrap 2

happy mom day

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed some nice Spring weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a pretty fun fold for Mother’s Day. For this anchored swing flap, I used patterned paper, washi tape, dies and stamps that haven’t seen the light of day in a while, and that made my heart happy. Of course, I used some pretty amazing adhesives and other complimentary products from Scrapbook Adhesives to put it together!

I’ve made quite a few swing flap fun folds over the past several years and this one is an anchored swing flap which is kind of a fun twist. I won’t go into huge detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made this one. This card features pretty embellishments made using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique – I used wrinkled gold and red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors which compliments the CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock.

I also used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock which compliments the gold foil in the Pinkfresh Studio Hydrangea & Rose Washi Tape cut with the coordinating die. Most of the construction was done with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips but also used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix along with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I used the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the sentiments which I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. The overhead photo on the below right shows the extra score line with the flap folded backwards to anchor the swing flap. Neat, huh?!

Happy Birthday candle card

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute birthday candle card that would be great for the young and old alike. I’ve made a few of these in the past (inspiration for the faux quilt design from Splitcoast Stampers HERE) but I made this one a little different. I used an older paper pack in my stash as well as die cut pieces and stamps/dies from the Happy Birthday collection at Keep It Simple. And, of course, I used some of the most awesome adhesives ever made to put it together!

I won’t go into a bunch of detail here, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you’d like to see how I made it. I cut the candles from strips of blue, orange, red and green patterns in the Darice Dots and Stripes 6×6 paper pack that I had applied to Adhesive Sheet. I used a small Hero Arts Rounded Jewels infinity die for the flames which I colored with Copics and popped up on Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I used a 110# Solar White pre-folded card base from CutCardStock and popped the front panel up on Crafty Foam Tape. As mentioned above, the sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection which I cut with the coordinating die. I added a few Freckled Fawn enamel shapes to finish off the card front. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for the layer construction and the Dual Tip Glue Pen for adding the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a wide strip of the red paper used for a couple candles on the front, and layered it on CutCardStock Mantis Green. I added another stamped and die cut sentiment along with a cake die cut piece (from the same Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection) using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a beautiful week and your temps are increasing… just a little bit anyway! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a beautiful sympathy card. Let’s face it – the average crafter does not find this type of card easy to make. Many people believe that cardinals symbolize the presence of lost loved ones, especially when grieving. When I found this SVG cut file from SVG Cuts featuring a cardinal, I knew I had to make it into a sympathy card. And, of course, I used a few of the most awesome adhesives to put it together!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Cardinal Crate Box Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from a large variety of cardstock from CutCardStock (along with prints from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad) which I’ve listed below. I made several changes to this file. I believe it was intended to be a Winter-themed card, and since I was making a sympathy card I omitted the greenery with the berries and cut extra pieces for the remaining greenery. I also made the second and third inserts flat instead of shaped so the white cardstock wouldn’t show through the greenery.

I used two coordinating floral papers from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad for the flap on the front and the envelope. I ran the crate panels through the Big Shot in the Crafter’s Companion Wood Grain embossing folder. I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser for the assembly of the card base and inserts. I added a white twine bow and flower embellishment to the front flap, and affixed the flap with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Heartfelt Condolences stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on the sentiment panel and popped it up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I’ve included a shot of the flattened card on the envelope; it’s a big one! This would definitely need to be mailed in a padded envelope for protection if it was not going to be hand-delivered. I really love how this turned out and would hope the recipient finds it comforting!

Hey Girl Hey

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great weekend and doing something fun! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a tall tented easel card. I used some fun papers, stamps and dies in my stash for this delightful friendship card. I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner and the glittery lines across the base, and of course, used some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together!

I’ve made quite a few tented easel cards over the years but this is the first tall one I’ve made. I had to tweak the measurements a bit to make it taller so the banner would fit above the bird. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to learn how to make this taller version. I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Dual Tip Glue Pen for the assembly.

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Basis 12×12 Aqua cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Vivid Double-Sided 6×6 Paper Pad. The image and sentiments are from the Prickley Pear Stamps Hey Girl Hey stamps and dies, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored with a variety of markers.

I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique to create the banner using the 3D Foam Pennants and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, along with 3D Foam Micro Squares and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors for the tiny embellishments beside the letters on the pennants. I also used Adhesive Lines and diamond glitter in my stash for the lines across the base which are kind of hard to see in the photos but really add some pretty sparkle.

The inside sentiment panel was cut from Solar White cardstock and another sentiment from the Hey Girl Hey stamp set was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added an embellishing strip with the glittered lines to the top of the panel to match the base. I’ve included one final side shot so you can see the cool construction. I love how this turned out!

Lucky Shopping Cart

02/28/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy Fri-YAY! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project created with a super cute SVG cut file from Cricut Design Space and some of my most favorite Scrapbook Adhesives products! I originally saw this shopping cart made in a Valentine theme by a designer on the 12×12 Cardstock Shop DT who linked to the creator of the cut file in Cricut Design Space. I thought it was so stinkin’ cute I just had to make one in a Lucky St. Patty’s Day theme!

Using Louise Beauregard’s Shopping Cart SVG cut file in Cricut Design Space, I cut the shopping cart base from CutCardStock 12×12 Scottish Highlands, the wheels from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black, and all the layering panels from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Lichen Encore Textured 12×12 cardstock. Then I assembled it using a combination of the E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and Dual Tip Glue Pen. I used some old green glitter brads in my stash for the center of the wheels.

I also found the Shamrock Window Decoration and Lucky Shamrock Font SVG cut files in Cricut Design Space. I cut the shamrocks from the green in the Brutus Monroe Rainbow Glitterstock and the shamrock layers and ‘lucky’ word from Lessebo Pitch Black. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the shamrock layers together and Adhesive Sheet on the back of the words. I employed the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (black) and 3D Foam Circles White Mix to create some embellishments for the shamrocks. I adhered the shamrocks on the sides of the shopping card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Here are a couple more angles of this adorable 3D project. Now to decide what to put in it… maybe some candy, chocolate coins, tags, or mini cards! Or just leave it empty and display it on a mantel or side table! Eeeeek, so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Hello Winter Shadow Box

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you’re not too frozen where you are, lol! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a snowflake shadow box. I love making Winter-themed pieces of decor to display on the mantel or side table, and this frosty creation was so perfect for the cold weather we’ve been having! I employed the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique for these snowflakes and circle embellishments using our 3D Foam Snowflakes and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (also Pastel Colors and Nature Colors), and put it all together with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and Dual Tip Glue Pen. I have to say this – if you haven’t tried the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique, you need to!

I used the We R Makers Shadow Box Punch Board to make the 5″ x 5″ shadow box (from CutCardStock Basis Navy) and added some MAMBI skinny washi tape to the front for a little interest. I used a Love From Lizi Stitched Square Nested Cutting Die to cut the focal panel from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Vista and layered it on CutCardStock Plum.

As mentioned above, I employed the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique for three snowflakes using our 3D Foam Snowflakes and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (in Silver) and one snowflake using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors (in purple) which I cut in half. I added four circles which I made with the same technique using circles from the 3D Foam Snowflakes and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (in gray).

I used the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies to cut a bow from the Plum cardstock and to cut a rosette from the Basis Navy cardstock. Oddly, there was not a corresponding circle die for the center of the rosette so I used a Stampin’ Up 1/2″ circle punch to punch a circle to adhere to the center. The sentiment is from Prickley Pear Stamps Winter Truck stamp set which I heat embossed using Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink and Alabaster Embossing Powder and punched with a Stampin’ Up 3/4″ circle punch.

I made a simple triangular shaped tube which I adhered to the back so the shadow box would stand for display. I really love how this turned out!

have a TEA-rrific day!

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L DT inspiration project with you today, created with a few of my essential ‘go-to’ adhesives. This faux narrow panel step card is such an easy and fun card to put together, and really packs a punch. I feel like this chilly January weather calls for a warm cuppa, so that’s the direction I went! I have several of the Altenew Mini Delights stamp and die bundles in my stash and thought this one was perfect for this TEA-riffic friendship card.

I used Spellbinders Standard Circles (Small and Large) and Classic Scalloped Circles (Large) dies to create the focal element background, using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble it. Then I added the stamped flowers and tea cup die cuts from the Altenew Afternoon Delights (Mini Delight) Stamps and Dies, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for assembly.

I cut the card base and faux narrow panel from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock and coordinating prints in the We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard 6×6 paper pad. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put these pieces together. I adhered the focal element to the card base with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and then added a stamped sentiment (using the 3D Foam Squares) and some clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment and that completed the inside. I’ve included a side angle shot so you can see the fun construction. This is a great card that can be tailored to literally any occasion!

Let the Fun Begin z-fold mini album

Hey everybody – how’s the weather where you are?! Tis the season to be freezin’ here! We really didn’t feel the cold (or heat) out in southwestern Colorado because of the low humidity, but it’s pretty high here and we are definitely feeling it. I’m a cooler weather kind of girl but have to admit that I’m counting down the days until we see some warmer weather!

I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute z-fold mini album. And yep, you guessed it… this one is for documenting some fun Summer activities! As mentioned in my post several weeks ago, Doodlebug Design invited our design team to collaborate with them so I used a ton of their products along with awesome Scrapbook Adhesives products for the assembly.

I won’t go into too much detail here on this post, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see my tutorial. I cut the album base from CutCardStock 12×12 Twine cardstock and used all kinds of Doodlebug textured cardstock, patterned paper, enamels and die cut pieces to bring this fun mini album to life. I used our E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to put it all together.

All the pockets are decorated, and there are tags and pull-outs tucked into the pockets for photos and journaling. Here are close-ups of all five sections on the front and the two on the back. To say this was fun is an understatement, lol! You know I love me some mini albums! And the more colorful they are, the better I like them!

Fun Perpetual Calendar

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – I hope you had an amazing Christmas (if you celebrate) and hopefully have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project created with some really fun Doodlebug Design products along with some of the best adhesives ever! Everybody needs to start a new calendar for the new year, right?! I’ve made a few different versions of perpetual calendars over the years and this particular one is my own design from about five years ago.

Doodlebug Design is one of my all-time favorite companies and they invited our design team to collaborate with them so I was MORE than happy to play with lots of their products… another amazing opportunity that I thoroughly enjoyed! When linking to the Doodlebug Design products I used, I discovered they are out of stock on a few of them, but I’ll check back to see if they’ve been restocked and will update my post.

There are lots of pieces to this project and it took several hours to complete… and I enjoyed every stinkin’ minute of it! The E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen were my best friends for putting this together. I used Neenah Classic Crest Epic Black 130# cardstock for all the panels and base, which is nice and sturdy. I also used 80# Solar White cardstock, several die sets in my stash, and lots of Doodlebug Design products. I started by creating the panels for the days of the week.

Then I created the panels for the months of the year.

Next I created the panels for the dates in the month (two columns).

And perhaps the most fun of all was creating the panels with seasonal icons. In addition to using more Doodlebug Design products, I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using 3D Foam Snowflakes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Christmas Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors for a couple of the tabs.

And finally, I created the base, attached the 1/2″ black Zutter wire, and put it all together using my Zutter Bind-It-All.

And here’s one final shot of the completed calendar. If anybody decides to tackle this, I’d love to see your version! There are a few more details on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog, so be sure to check it out!

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a most excellent weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a shaped snowglobe card that I created for the Scrapbook Adhesives collaboration with Trinity Stamps. I used the super cute Snowglobe Card Die Set and North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set along with some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together! I LOVE shaped cards and I totally love how this turned out!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog to see my tutorial if you want to see how I made this. As mentioned above, I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card Die Set along with Solar White cardstock (in both 110# and 80# weights) for the entire card, coloring the snowglobe base, cabin, and trees with a variety of markers. You can’t see it too well in the photos but I used Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist over the background for a little snowy shimmer.

The lil’ gnome dude and sentiment on the base are from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black, and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Eucalyptus inks. And I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using small circles from our 3D Foam Christmas Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. So fun!

The inside sentiment is another one from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.
