Sending Hugs Gift Tag

Posted on October 23, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Christmas is a few months out, which means it is a great time to get a jump on making a few tags to add to your holiday gifts! Teri here to show you how to make a Sending Hugs Gift Tag with some fun touches with our adhesives.

Sending Hugs Gift Tag by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Create the Sending Hugs Gift Tag Base

Start by adding a piece of patterned paper to the bottom of a die-cut tag with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Set the tag aside. Next, stamp, cut and color a large bear from white cardstock. Also do the same with an accessory for it to hold, like a coffee cup, gift or cupcake.

Use your bear image on the tag as a guide to stamp a sentiment and snowflakes on the tag. Remove the bear to go to the next step.

Make the Bear Come Alive

Place a few squares from the 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix pack on the back of your bear. Mount the bear onto the tag, letting him partly hang off the tag. Place additional 3D Foam Strips 3mm White under your bear’s accessory and add it to the bear.

Take a pen or pencil (or some similar shaped tool) and set it under the bear. Curl the bear’s body slightly around it, allowing it to give the bear some extra dimension.

Add a 3D Foam Strip and Metallic Transfer Foil

Add a 3D Foam Strip toward the bottom of the tag. Set a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil on top of the shapes with the pretty side up. Burnish the foil onto the strip.

Complete the tag by adding some sequins to it with the Adhesive Dots Small, as well as tying a piece of tulle through the top of the tag.

Don’t have the same supplies I used? Look through your crafty stash for similar items to use to make a Sending Hugs Gift Tag of your own. Try using a different stamps. Instead of stamps, use die-cuts. Don’t have sequins? Use gems.

Happy Creating!

Frugal Scrapbook Layout

Posted on October 21, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here and today I have a Frugal Scrapbook Layout to share that I created using scraps of a beloved collection. Here are all of the details.

Frugal Scrapbook Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Keep it Frugal!

Have you ever had a scrapbook collection that you just adore, and can’t seem to part with? I have created with this collection so many times, and now this is all that I have left of the patterned papers. So let’s create a frugal scrapbook layout.

Start with a white cardstock 12×12 base. Then I cut the strip of the blue patterned paper I have left, in half and adhered it to either side of the white cardstock background using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Mat the photo in white cardstock.

Assemble the patterned bits you want to create with for this frugal scrapbook layout. I started with the 3×4 middle row, the sentiment block and the piece of black patterned paper. Then collected six 3×3 patterned pieces for the top and bottom rows. Adhere the pieces to the background using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.

I chose to add a mat of black cardstock to the previously matted photo. Also cut a strip of patterned paper to go under the matted photo. I adhered both of these pieces to the background using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Start adding die cut and cardstock sticker embellishments around the matted photo. The die cut pieces are added using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Add a burlap string bow to the mini tag and adhere to the frugal scrapbook layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bag Shaker Charm

Posted on October 18, 2026 by Margie Higuchi

Do you have a charm on your bag? I’ve been seeing these in recent years and thought it would be cute to make one as a Bag Shaker Charm! Hi, Margie here to show you how I made mine. This past summer, we created these with our retailer friends at a trade show reception hosted by us, Lawn Fawn and Catherine Pooler Design. The stores used theirs to decorate their badge holders. So, come join me!

Bag Shaker Charm by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Gather Shaker Charm Supplies

Let’s die-cut all the things and gather other supporting materials together! Not pictured is using the Rick Rack Strip Die to cut a combination of wonderful pastel color cardstock strips.

Cut the largest Stitched Circle Tag with heavy weight white cardstock.
Cut the second largest Stitched Circle Frame with patterned papers from the Giddy for Gingham Collection.
Cut the third largest Circle Stackable with Clear Acetate.
Cut the two leaves from the Petals & Paisley Die Set with Melon Ice Cardstock
Cut the small six-petal flower, the large eight-petal flower from the Petals & Paisley Die Set with a combination of Blue Raspberry, It’s a Girl or Sixteen Candles Cardstock.

The Butterfly Accent

Stamp, Stencil + Die-cut the I Like Big Butterfly Stamp, Die & Coloring Stencils Set on white cardstock.

Prep the Shaker Base

On the white cardstock Stitched Circle Tag, ink and stamp the sentiment with Midnight ink and a stamp positioning tool. Designer’s Tip: Use the embellishment (flowers, leaves + butterfly) to determine placement. Set aside.
Die-cut a combination of pastel color cardstock with the Rick Rack Strip Die and place several strips below the sentiment with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Trim off excess.

Secure the acetate circle onto the patterned paper Circle Frame with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Note: Use a crease tool/bone folder to press the acetate into the adhesive.
Next, place the third largest 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the acetate Circle Frame. Designer’s Note: Keep the top liner is on when removing from the sheet. It helps to keep its shape when placing onto the Circle Frame.

Make the Shaker Charm Frame

Add the butterfly on the upper left side of frame with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
Arrange 2 flowers + 2 leaves to the right side and secure all but the large flower with the same adhesive.
Center the small dot on the corner of the 3D Foam Circle Frames White on the small flower. Pop up the large flower with the small dot + frame from another corner of the same sheet.
Foil the flower centers with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Place foil color up over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer color. Peel to reveal foil. Use Powder Tool to eliminate the stick from the back of large flower.

Assemble the Shaker Charm Frame

Add a small pile of sequins on the center of white tag base.
Use Powder Tool around the frame before removing the liner and place on top of tag base. Press to secure.
Thread the Ocean Sparkle Cord through tag loop and DONE!

I hope this Bag Shaker Charm inspires you to create one for you! Share your creation with me by linking it under this post’s comments.

Layered Halloween Card

Posted on October 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Halloween coming up soon, I thought thought you might like some inspiration to get creative. So, with that in mind, I made this Layered Halloween Card. And yes, it is quite easy to create. Shall we get started?

Layered Halloween Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Layered Halloween Card Base

To create the card base frot he Layered Halloween Card first adhere a starry card panel onto a kraft card panel. Then mat upon a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Create Some Paper Elements

Fussy cut some some images. Next use an ink blending tool to distress the images. For the bug and flowers I used brown ink and for the moon I used yellow ink.

Then die-cut and emboss a rectangle shape from dark grey glitter cardstock. Mat this die-cut rectnagle onto a kraft panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Adding Layers

First adhere the moon onto the card using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Then adhere the flower partly tot he back and front of the layered glittered panel. Next adhere it tot he cardbase using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Then adhere the leave around the glittered panel again using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

Finishing touch

First adhere some halloween tehemed sentiment stickers onto the card. Then for some very subtile detailling adhere some E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card . I like to use tweezers for precise positioning of the stars.

Then sprinkle dark grey glitter upon and rub the glitter. Tap off the excess glitter. This technique making your adhsive shine is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. And voilá, the Layered Halloween card is ready.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Friendship Card with Flock

Posted on October 15, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope your week is going along nicely! Are you a fan of using flock on your projects? Raising my hand here… although I haven’t used much flock over the past few years, I’m a huge fan! Leslie here, sharing a tutorial for making a friendship card with flock. Have used a variety of our 3D products to feature the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. 3D Foam Strips Large White, 3D Foam Circles White Mix, and 3D Foam Pennants. Then added 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips. And, of course, used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put it together!

Friendship Card with Flock by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Cut the Card Base & Layers

Firstly, cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base and score it at 4-1/4″ on the long side. Or use a pre-folded card base (like I did) which is a huge time-saver.

Secondly, for the inside of the card, cut a 3-3/4″ x 5″ layering panel from pink cardstock and a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ sentiment panel from white cardstock.

Thirdly, for the front of the card, cut a 2-3/4″ x 5-7/16″ layering panel from heavyweight white cardstock.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Flock

Using the various 3D shapes and strips, let’s build the flocked panel for the front. Love the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! Start by applying the first row of 3D Foam Strips Large White at an angle on the narrow panel. Then remove the liner, apply the flock, and rub with your finger to secure.

Subsequently, affix the next row using large circles in the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Also remove the liners from the circles, apply the flock, and rub with your finger to secure.

Similarly, add the remaining rows using 3D Foam Pennants, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips Large White. Alternate between small and large squares and circles, and reverse the orientation of the pennants as you go. As seen in the series of photos below, I ended up turning my panel upside down.

Finally, complete the panel using 3D Foam Strips at the top and bottom. These narrow strips fill in the corners nicely. Now the flocked front panel is complete.

Adhere Layers & Add Sentiments

Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the flocked front panel to the card base. Additionally, add a very narrow strip of black vinyl vertically for a little interest.

Once again using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere the inside sentiment panel to the pink cardstock. In addition, adhere two very narrow strips of black vinyl horizontally. Lastly, stamp sentiments in black ink on both panels.

Complete Friendship Card with Flock

Afterwards, adhere the sentiment panel to the inside, which completes this card! Here are views of the front and inside of this friendship card with flock. So pretty and such a fun technique!

Glittered Frame Holiday Wishes Card

Posted on October 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here! I’m thinking ahead to the holidays with this Glittered Frame Holiday Wishes Card. The frame is two frames from 3D Foam Frames covered with glitter along with some glitter on stamped and colored holly makes this card sparkle.

Glittered Frame Holiday Wishes Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glittered Frame Card Foundation

On a piece of 4.25 x 11 inch white cardstock, score 3.5 inch and 2.125 inch on the other end with the 11 inch side on top. Fold both ends inward.
Place on the 3.5 inch end only the Linen embossing folder and pass through a die cutting and embossing machine.
Using the same embossing folder, emboss a piece of 3.5 x 4.5 inch white cardstock rectangle.
Cut a 3.375 x 4.25 inch rectangle and a 0.75 x 4.25 strip from red cardstock. Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to the red strip and fasten to the edge of embossed end of the card allowing a narrow reveal.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Frames

Peel the top liners off of the second and third largest frames on a sheet of the 3D Foam Frames. Place the embossed white cardstock piece face down over the frames and press to adhere well. Gently pull cardstock with the two 3D Frames away from 3D Foam Frames sheet.

Cover the exposed 3D Foam Frames with Distress Clear Glitter, press glitter into frames to secure and tap off the excess glitter. Trim away paper that extends beyond frame.

Assemble the Card

Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to mat the glittered panel to the red cardstock rectangle. Place the matted frame panel on card front – make sure you apply the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on the back left side of the panel (maybe mark the area before apply adhesive).

Assemble the Holly

Stamp and die cut two branches on watercolor paper. Use a water brush with Distress stains to paint holly. Dry with heat gun.

Use a small brush to apply glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen on holly shapes. Then cover with glitter and remove excess. Set aside to dry.

The Greeting

Stamp and die cut the greeting on white cardstock. Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the greeting and adhere on card in lower right corner of the frame.

Add the Holly to the Glittered Frame Card

Trim the branch end off of one holly branch and cut it apart. (See cut pieces in above photo).

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of larger piece of cut apart holly and fasten near top corner of frame. Then add Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of branch tip and tuck it under other piece.

Adhere the remaining holly branch along edge of frame (note how the leaves fall on frame and extend beyond frame). Place 3D Foam Squares White Mix on holly that extends beyond frame and apply adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on parts that lay on frame. Peel liners and fasten second holly branch.

You’ve Been Framed Tag

Posted on October 12, 2026 by Connie Mercer

Hi there!!! Connie here with a You’ve Been Framed Tag, that was super fun to make. I live in rural Texas so this was especially right up my alley. Also chickens do have an attitude 🙂 🙂

You've Been Framed Tag by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

You’ve Been Framed Tag Background

Instead of a store bought tag, I hand cut a 4 1/4” x 7 1/4” white mixed media cardstock. But you can size it to your liking. Clip the corners and punch a top hole. Now all it needs is to add some color. That’s the fun part!

Water down the Distress Oxide inks and randomly add to the tag base. Once dried, stamp the background Power Lines stamp with black ink. This stamp design certainly spoke to me for this tag.

Stamp and Cut Elements

Stamp the images using a stamping platform and the E-Z Runner Grand Repositionable Dots Refillable Dispenser, to hold the image in place. Hand cut the images and color with watercolors, pencils or markers. I used the left-over color from the Distress Oxide inks.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

Remove the top release sheet from the 3D Foam Stars and lay the foil on top (color side facing you). I used the gold color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Color.
Rub the foil over the star to transfer the color and pull up. Easy !!!
Gently remove foiled star from the sheet. Set aside for placement on tag.

Assemble the Tag

Adhere the cow portrait to the inside of the frame using 3D Foam Squares Black Regular.
Secure the frame with the E-Z Runner Grand White Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
Using the positive and negative of the 3D Foam Circle Mix Black for the crazy chicken.
Adhere the word strips with the 3D Foam Strips Black.
Complete the tag by adding white paint splatters and black finger smears to the edges of the tag.
Outline the frame with a gold paint pen.
Last but not least, add the fabric tie topper.

Designer tip: The negative, from the 3D Foam adhesives, is like bonus dimensional adhesive. Like free 🙂 🙂

Simple Autumn Card

Posted on October 10, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty cardmaking friends! Tracy here and today I have a sweet and simple autumn card to share. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Simple Autumn Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty!

First I cut the card base from coordinating brown Doodlebug Cardstock, a 5×7 card base. Then cut a piece of orange patterned paper to 4.75×6.75. I also cut out one of the large printed tags.

Adhere the patterned paper to the simple autumn card base using Creative Photo Corners Gold. I will often use additional adhesive on the back of the patterned paper just to keep it in place.

Add a burlap string bow to the top of the large tag and then adhere that to the card front using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser.

I decided to add an additional piece of green patterned paper that was 3×3. Attach that to the large tag using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser. Add the Doodle Pops embellishments to the card front. They are just SO dang cute!

Choose your ephemera sentiment and adhere it to the simple autumn card front using 3D Foam Squares 3mm Black Mix.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy Gift Ornament

Posted on October 7, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Looking for a unique gift to make a friend? Teri here to show you how to make a gift card holder with a Christmas Ornament! Decorate your ornament featuring 3D Foam Butterflies and 3D Foam Circles White Mix with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors. You’ll end up with a gift the recipient is sure to be amazed by!

Enjoy Gift Ornament by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Basics for a Gift Ornament

Start by finding an ornament with a wide screw top opening. Can’t find one? Try using a small clear jar instead. Next, cut a rectangular piece of patterned paper to fit inside the ornament. Then cut a similar sized clear transparency piece and adhere a few 3D Foam Circles and 3D Foam Butterflies.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Shapes, Tape and Foils

Now the fun! Cut a small piece of Platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors and place on top of the shapes with the color side facing up. Rub the foil to transfer the color onto the shapes. Done! Now roll the patterned paper and transparency tightly and place them inside the ornament, letting them loosen up.

Apply a strip of Premium Double-Sided Tape across the exterior of the ornament as pictured. Using the same foiling steps using a piece of gold foil, create your gold border accent.

Finishing Touches

Place a sticker on the ornament, placing it over your largest foam shape. Seal the ornament. If desired, add piece of patterned paper or cardstock onto the lid.

Fill the ornament by making a tag to put inside the ornament. Instead of the tag, you could place a small gift inside. A gift card, cash or even a small pair of earrings would be great gifts to place inside.

Also, consider adding a hanger to the top of your ornament. Twine, ribbon and jute all make excellent hangers. If you are using a jar with a lid rather than an ornament, consider making a hanger for it.

If you noticed the image above, this Enjoy Gift Ornament is part of a wonderful gift ensemble. So, check them out too! See the tutorials for Take Time to Relax Tag and Miss You Floating Card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and are inspired to make gift ornament for a friend.

Happy Creating!

Cute and Sparkly Duck Card

Posted on October 5, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Cute and Sparkly Duck Card. Sometimes embellishing your card is ever so easy and simple. For interest, I used a combination of dimension and the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique to make my card special. This is super fun to create and perfect for beginner card makers! Shall we get started?

Cute and Sparkly Duck Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make a Duck Card Panel

Stamp and color the duck image on white cardstock and fussy cut using scissors. Die-cut and emboss a rectangle from blue cardstock, a scalloped circle from green patterned cardstock and a circle from white cardstock. Adhere the circles and the image onto the blue rectangle panel of the Duck Card using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Create a card base with white cardstock. Mat the Duck Card panel to a piece of Kraft card panel and adhere to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Sentiment

For the sentiment on the Cute Duck Card, I used a sticker quote which was adhered onto a kraft banner. Then I added a white banner using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. To make it stand out even more, I layered it with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with E-Z Runner Hearts and Stars

For extra sparkle and a sequin placement alternative to my card, I randomly placed several E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser shapes onto the blue card panel. Designer’s Tip: I used a pin for precise positioning the hearts and stars.

With your choice of foil colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Color, place the foil (color side facing you) over the sticky shapes you want to foil and rub to transfer the color.

Next I sprinkled gold glitter over the sticky stars, rubbed the glitter to secure and tapped off the excess. This application in making your adhesive shine as embellishments is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! EASY!!!

And voilá, the Cute and Sparkly Duck Card is ready. Easy and simple! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.
