Scrapbook Adhesives DT – Love To Scrap 2

Dream Big tag

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project featuring pretty papers, die cuts/ephemera and dies from Uniquely Creative, along with some amazing adhesives (and other products) from Scrapbook Adhesives! Yep, Scrapbook Adhesives is collaborating with Uniquely Creative and I had such a good time using products from both companies to create this mixed media tag!

Using a Uniquely Creative Slim Stitched Nesting Tag Die, I cut the tag base from CutCardStock Glama Brown Kraft cardstock. Then the fun began layering patterned paper, cardstock, die cuts and other pieces of ephemera from the Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities collection using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I inked the edges of some of the pieces with Ranger Hickory Smoke distress ink on a dauber. I popped some of the elements up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix – these are 1mm and 2mm thick respectively and gave different heights of dimension. I also used the Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage stamp set to stamp cross and double stitching in random spots in Memento Olive Grove ink using an acrylic block.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique three times on this tag – the first with a strip of foiled squares down the left side created with E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser and crumpled brown and bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. The second instance was the application of green flock onto several 3D Foam Squares Micro White and then placed in diamond orientation in random spots on the tag.

The third instance of the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside was created with blue embossing powder heated onto 3D Foam Strips with my heat tool. I cut the strip in different sized pieces and placed them on the right edge toward the bottom for a little interest. To use the term FUN would be an understatement… I had an absolute blast making this!

Hi friends, happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a good week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog sharing a tutorial for a swirly circles thank you card. Have you ever heard of a swirly circles card element? It’s a fun one to make and gives the optical illusion of a spinning spiral! We have a couple NEW Scrapbook Adhesives products that we’re showcasing. We now carry 3mm thick foam squares and strips in white and black! Very excited to share this project using 1mm, 2mm and 3mm white foam squares, along with 3mm white foam strips and holographic transfer foil! You know I absolutely love the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to know more. I used CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue and Stardream Metallic Neptune cardstock, along with Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage 6×9 Papers. The swirly circles element was created using the Fiskars 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″ circle punches, and the Stampin’ Up! 2″ circle punch.

The sentiment stamp is from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears stamp set, stamped in Catherine Pooler Bay Breeze ink, and cut with a Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears die. I used Cottage Cutz Garden Stems dies, My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2 dies, and Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears dies. I assembled the card with E-Z Runner Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser along with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a floral strip cut from an additional print in the Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage 6×9 papers. I stamped another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears stamp set in the Bay Breeze ink, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. I really love how this turned out!

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! Can you believe we’re on the down-slide into September?! Holy moly, where has this year gone? I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing some inspiration for a sweet (pun intended, lol) birthday card inviting the recipient to eat cake! I could go for that!

You know I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique and have featured it twice on this clean and simple card. I used the 3D Foam Cupcakes along with orange and red flock and brown glitter from my stash to create the focal image. I also used the 3D Foam Micro Squares White along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to create the little embellishments on the pinstripes. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I assembled the card with some of the best adhesives ever!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Classic Crest 80# Solar White and CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock. I chomped two corners of all the pieces with a Tonic Corner Punch and affixed two sets of diagonal stripes using Love From Lizi Orange/Gold Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers. I adhered the lightweight Solar White panel to the orange panel using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips.

As mentioned above, I used the 3D Foam Cupcakes along with orange and red flock and brown glitter from my stash to create the cupcake focal point. I adhered some individual polymer clay mini pastel confetti sprinkles (from Keep It Simple) using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Then I used the 3D Foam Micro Squares White along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to create the little embellishments on the pinstripes.

To complete the card front, I stamped a diagonal sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of Doodlebug Design patterned paper. I stamped another sentiment from the same Keep It Simple stamp set, and layered the panel on Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock.

Chandler Purse with set of 6 Notelets

08/22/26 Top Rocker honor at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody – I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a pretty Chandler purse and set of six notelets tucked inside. Well, you know I love me some paper purses, and the Chandler purse is actually one of my favorite purses to make. Of course, it’s always fun to add a set of notelets! I used stamps, dies, and lots of pretty paper and cardstock in my stash along with a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to bring this project to life!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to know more. The Chandler purse was cut from CutCardStock Basis Black and assembled with Crafty Power Tape. I embellished the handles and closure with strips of CutCardStock Strawberry Cream cardstock which I adhered with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips and added small black brads from my stash.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using yellow, blue, green and pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors along with 3D Foam Strips for the angled embellishment in the lower right corner. Then again using a large 3D Foam Circle with blue glitter on the closure. I added two 5/8″ velcro circles underneath the closure flap. I just love how this turned out!

Now let’s look at the notelets I tucked into the Chandler purse. I cut six 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ bases from CutCardStock Basis Black, layering panels from assorted prints in the Vicki Boutin Bold & Bright 6×8 paper pad, and inside sentiment panels from 80# Solar White cardstock. I adhered all the panels with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.

I cut a flower for each notelet using the flower die from the Vicki Boutin Floral and Butterfly dies – inspired by a friend who used this awesome die for an inspiration project on another DT. I cut the flower from an assortment of cardstock from CutCardStock (listed below) and adhered one to each notelet with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Here For You stamp set on the front of each notelet in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Since the notelets were an odd size, I designed a pocket envelope (which can be seen in the tutorial) that I made from white 65# Hammermill copy paper. These notelets are so fun and were perfect to tuck into the purse!

Hey everybody, how did it get to be Monday already?! I hope you had a good weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing Part 3 of my three-piece ensemble created for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth. You’ve seen the chocolate bar card and the set of party treat bags, so now I bring you my giant birthday tag. I have really enjoyed this special project and look forward to the next one!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, a large tag die from STAMPlorations, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

The tag base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White cardstock using a large STAMPlorations Stitched Nested Tag Die. CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry and Bright Gold Foil along with a colorful print in the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 6×9 Collection Pack were used for layers.

Embellishments include a journaling card and lots of die cuts from the same Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ for the horizontal heat embossed foam strips, a rosette with glitter detail, and several foiled circles. I used three colors of Keep It Simple gingham ribbon at the top, tied with a Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine bow.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see all the dimension. There’s so much fun on this tag! For more details, be sure to see my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog!

And one final shot showing all three pieces of my ensemble.

Party Treat Bags

07/18/26 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!
07/18/26 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends – Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a set of party treat bags. You’ll remember me mentioning in my post a couple weeks ago that we were assigned a ‘special project’ (a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth) and this set of birthday party treat bags is Part 2. You’ve seen the chocolate bar, so now I bring you the treat bags… every birthday party needs a cute little bag to hold the treats and favors, right?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, the Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I have fallen in love with, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you really need to! These were so fun to make!

I used the super cute Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn. The bags feature CutCardStock Pop Tone Grape Jelly and Basis Light Lime cardstock, in addition to CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Lessebo Splash, Pop Tone Wild Cherry and more Pop Tone Grape Jelly for the rosettes. Used Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies and EK Success 3/4″ Circle Punch to make the rosettes.

Of course, as mentioned above, I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the circles in the center of the rosettes. Also used Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 12×12 Collection Pack and Die Cut Pieces. I typed the verbiage for the name tags on my laptop and printed them on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock prior to cutting them with the ticket die in the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies.

And here is the green one. For demonstration purposes, I only made two, but you could make as many of these as you’d like. They are THAT fun! Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made them!

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a chocolate bar card. You’ve seen this fun card several times previously on my blog because it’s one of my favorites! This is Part 1 of a ‘special project’ we were assigned – a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth. I thought this birthday card would be great to open with… I mean, after all, who doesn’t love a chocolate bar?! On their birthday or anytime, lol?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I absolutely love! Needless to say, I had a good time!

This is a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline size with the base and chocolate pieces cut from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock. I used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock for the inner wrapper layer and Keep It Simple Happy Birthday papers for the outer wrapper. Also used Keep It Simple die cuts from the same Happy Birthday collection. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner using green purple and blue Making Memories glitter in my stash.

I assembled the card with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, Adhesive Lines, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow. Embellished the panel with narrow strips of the dotted paper used on the front and another (sentiment) die cut. The final touch was adding a Love From Lizi green pinstripe peel-off for a little interest. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how I made this adorable card!

Hi friends, I hope your week is starting off on a nice note and you are enjoying some pretty weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing an easy floral birthday card. And when I say ‘easy’ – I mean that literally! I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique on this card using the 3D Foam Butterflies (you know I love me some butterflies), and of course I assembled it using some of the best adhesives in the land!

I cut the top-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock. I trimmed a Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and pressed the floral image and sentiment into it using my BetterPress. I colored the image with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and adhered it to the card base using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using the 3D Foam Butterflies with purple mica powder along with a very light dusting of white mica powder on the wings. I sealed the butterfly with a light coat of clear satin urethane spray to ensure the mica powder wouldn’t rub off. I then stuck it to a small piece of acetate which I trimmed. I adhered the butterfly with both thin and regular 3D foam squares for some dimension. The final touch on the front was adding gemstones to the butterfly body and a few scattered on the background.

Using the Spellbinders Happy Birthday Glimmer Plate, I pressed the sentiment into another Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel, once again using my BetterPress. I added the patterned paper embellishing strip to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. LOVE how this turned out – and it would be a good one to mass-produce in different colors to have extras in your stash!

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Father’s Day shirt card. Father’s Day will be here in a few weeks and I thought I’d break out my own shirt card design again this year. Don’t groan because I know I inundated you with shirt cards last year, in several different designs besides my own and for several different occasions! Bahahaha! But this one is a little different in that it showcases the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique known only to Scrapbook Adhesives! And, of course, I used a few of their amazing adhesives to put it together.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how it is made. That is, if you didn’t grab the instructions last year, lol! I used CutCardStock Sandcastle and Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock along with a masculine plaid print from the Craft Consortium Tartan 6×6 double-sided paper pad.

The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique came into play with the buttons. I pressed the bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors onto the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix (after removing the liner) to create the buttons. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp and die set.

I cut the inside panel from the Sandcastle cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green. I embellished the panel with some the plaid used to make the shirt and stamped another sentiment, this one from the Brutus Monroe Super Sentimental stamp set.

I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a geometric-inspired thank you card featuring rounded jewels shapes and shiny bronze embellishments created with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. By now you know that I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique and use it on quite a few of my projects these days. It’s such a simple process that really adds a lot to a design. And I used a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to put this card together. Definitely could be used for a male or female thank you, don’t you think?

I cut the card base and front layering panel from Neenah Classic 100# Linen Solar White cardstock. I used CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange, Pitch Black, Brick Orange and Sunflower Yellow for the geometric shapes, all cut with two sizes of Hero Arts Rounded Jewels Infinity Dies. I popped the small ones up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors along with 3D Foam Circles White Mix. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Paper Crafts Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, and then adhered the panel to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape. I do love the dimension this gives.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and layered it on Lessebo Pitch Black and then Lessebo Sunset Orange. The E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere these layers. To carry the design to the inside, I adhered two die cuts with the Dual Tip Glue Pen and added a couple more bronze embellishments. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink, and this completed the card.
