XOXO Scrapbook Layout

Posted on February 20, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Happy Galentine’s Day, friends! 💕 Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m sharing a love-filled XOXO Scrapbook Layout dedicated to my amazing gal pals! This project features an adorable XOXO cut file, it was the perfect combo for documenting such a special friendship.

XOXO Scrapbook Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Friends for 40 years with these beautiful ladies is rare and incredibly special. No matter what life brings, I know I can always count on them. That deserves to be celebrated—and scrapbooked! To commemorate and for Galentine’s Day, I organized a fun night out at Indulgence where we attended a chocolate and cocktail pairing. The venue had a wall decorated with the cutest X’s, O’s, and hearts, which made the perfect backdrop for a photo of our girl squad. Of course, that photo had to take center stage on this layout.

XOXO Layout Foundation

For the design, I started with a bold red cardstock background and layered white cardstock on top before adding a beautiful blue and red plaid paper. I cut the XOXO cut file from white cardstock so it would really pop against the patterned paper.

Embellish the Cut File

Using the 6 x 6 patterned paper pad, I backed the cut file with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: Choose five different patterns to keep it cohesive but playful. Center the XOXO cut file onto the layout and pop it up with my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft.! I’m all about that pop!

Mat my photo with the same dispenser and then add Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. to one side so it sits as high as the cut file itself—dimension makes everything better, right?

Finishing Touches

I added a fun flair to the “O” next to my photo. Around my matted photo, two heart balloons, a “Hugs and Kisses” title and little hearts were placed and popped up using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Toward the bottom of the cut file, I’ve secured more ephemera pieces (heart, present and heart jar). Lastly, at the bottom using the foam squares, I added a flower bouquet and a sweet teddy bear.

This layout is full of love, dimension, and meaningful memories—just like my friendships. I hope you’re able to celebrate and document your gal pal relationships this month. They are truly special and will always hold a place in my heart.

With love,
Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli) 💕

Galentine’s Day Shopping Layout

Posted on February 18, 2026 by Kristin Rizzo

Hello crafty friends! I hope you had a sweet Valentine’s Day. It’s Kristin here with a fun Galentine’s Day Shopping Layout to share. Valentine’s layouts are some of my favorites to create. This page started with a February outing to Bath & Body Works with my sister. Their Valentine’s display was full of pinks, reds, and heart details. I snapped a photo, and knew it needed its own layout. Here is how I put the entire page together step by step.

Galentine's Day Shopping Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

My Galentine’s Day Focal Point

The focal point of my page is a heart-themed cut file to highlight the Valentine theme. When I’m backing a cut file, I like to choose my photo first. Then I can pull colors that complement, not compete with it. Since the Bath & Body Works display had a lot of pink and red tones, I stayed within that color family. So, I chose papers from the Simple Stories Heartstrings collection.

To trace and trim, place the cut file face down on the patterned paper. Lightly traced each opening, and trimmed just inside the pencil line so the paper wouldn’t peek out from the edges. Secure the pieces to the cut file with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Heart Shakers

For some movement, two of the hearts were made into shakers. Adhered acetate in the front and then backed the opening with 3D Foam Strips. Next, fill the shaker with an adorable shaker mix and close the sequin by backing it with vellum.

Assemble the Galentine’s Day Layout

To help stand out the cut file, I centered a 10 x 10″ black cardstock against my patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then added pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft behind the entire cut file to lift it off the background. That extra dimension gives it such a fun, layered look and makes the hearts really stand out.

For the title, I went into my stash and pulled out these white Sonnets letter stickers. Use your stash! The letter stickers added just the right handmade touch and balanced the sweetness of all the hearts.

To finish, small clusters were added around the photo with a few elements popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Continue to embellish until desired look is achieved but not to crowd on the page. That’s always my rule: stop before it feels like too much.

Document moments of everyday joy…as simple shopping trip turned into a memory worth preserving. That’s what I love most about scrapbooking—it transforms ordinary moments into lasting keepsakes. Remember start with a photo, limit your color palette but mix pattern scales, and don’t forget dimension.

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

Spring Chicken Birthday Card

Posted on February 17, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here Today I would like to share how I made this fun Spring Chicken Birthday Card with its simple layering. It’s also perfect for a beginner card maker. It’s super quick to make, so if you need a last minute card, this is might be a great fit! Let’s get started!

Spring Chicken Birthday Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Spring Birthday Card Base

Trim a piece of patterned paper to a rectangular size for the top card panel. Mat it to a yellow card penal and then to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Embellish the Card Front

For the pieces to make the focal point, I fussy cut elements from patterned papers like a tag and a happy birthday sentiment banner. Center and then give the tag a slight angle onto the card front. To make it interesting, I popped it up with 3D Foam Strips LG in White. Mat the Happy Birthday banner with yellow cardstock strip using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then trim it slightly larger than the banner.

Lastly, add an element of fun heart row to the tag using 3D Foam Squares White Small for dimension. And voilá, your Spring Chicken Birthday Card is ready! Wishing you happy crafting!

Snowflake Shadow Box

Posted on February 15, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy weekend! Are you managing to keep warm and cozy while the snowflakes fly?! So far, so good here! Leslie here with you 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.

Snowflake Shadow Box by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This features the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique which is one of my new favorites! I used a punch board to make this shadow box but they can easily be hand-cut and scored. Or cut with an electronic cutting machine and an SVG cut file. Lots of options and I’m glad we have Google nowadays, lol!

Assemble the Snowflake Shadow Box

Using a punch board, I created this 5″ x 5″ shadow box which is 1/2″ deep. Begin by scoring and punching a 9″ x 9″ sheet of navy cardstock per the punch board instructions. Four score lines 1/2″ apart on all four sides. Next, fold the cardstock on all the score lines.

Add skinny washi tape just inside the third score line on one side for a little accent. Then, do a ‘dry run’ fold on that side to make sure the washi tape is where you want it. If placement is good, mark the remaining three sides using a ruler and white charcoal pencil. Of course, the beauty of washi tape is having the ability to move it slightly if necessary.

Construct the shadow box by folding one side (without the angles) in first and securing with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Cut a small square from the Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix in half diagonally and place one half on each end. Don’t pull the backing off yet. Repeat this process on the opposite side (without the angles).

Likewise, fold in the sides with the angles and secure with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Now pull the backing off the foam squares on both sides, tuck under the connecting angled sides, and lightly press. Shadow box is now complete.

Create Snowflake Panel & Elements

Let’s create the snowflake panel which is the star of the show. Die cut a stitched square that’s slightly smaller than the size of the shadow box opening from metallic blue cardstock. Adhere it to a dark purple panel with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. The purple cardstock should be cut to the exact size of the opening. Employ the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique using four snowflakes and four circles from the 3D Foam Snowflakes. Silver holographic was a great choice from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors for three snowflakes. Additionally, I chose purple from the Pastel Colors for the fourth snowflake, cut in half. Lastly, I grabbed some gray from the Nature Colors for the four circles.

Rosettes seem to be making a come-back lately, so I fashioned one from the navy cardstock with a stamped/embossed sentiment. Also fashioned a hollow square box to anchor the rosette. Accordingly, we need a bow of some sort, so I die cut a delicate bow from dark purple cardstock.

Complete the Snowflake Shadow Box

Once again using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, adhere the snowflake panel into the opening. Add a few random dots of glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen and press some clear iridescent gemstones in place. Once again use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere the bow and the rosette with anchor.

And last but not least, create a simple triangular shaped tube to adhere to the back of the shadow box so it will stand for display. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser is a good option for assembling and adhering this piece.

Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo

Posted on February 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! Do you keep pretty paper napkins in your craft stash? I do! I used a floral napkin to make these Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo. Because they are delicate, I used Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. to assist. I’m very happy with how they turned out and so easy that I plan to make more with other types of papers!

Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo Design

The printed layer of a paper napkin is very thin so to support it, I secured it to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. First, cut the adhesive sheet to 7 x 6 inches and remove the liner from one edge of Adhesive Sheet. Place it to the 7 x 6 inch piece of cardstock. Rub well with bone folder. Designer’s Tip: Choose a light color cardstock similar to background of napkin or white or cream.

Cut the napkin slightly bigger than 7 x 6 inches and remove its back layer. Peel the liner away from the cardstock, place the napkin on the adhesive and press in place.

Make the Bookmark and Sentiment

Die-cut two bookmarks from the napkin covered cardstock. Designer’s Tip: Instead of using a die, two rectangles 1.75 x 6 inches can be cut for bookmark. Place verse stamp in a stamp positioning tool and stamp on the back side of the bookmark with Fallen Leaves ink. Use heat tool to dry ink. Repeat steps for the second bookmark.

Laminate Bookmark

Remove one laminate card piece from the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium pack. Following directions on the package, position one bookmark in card towards hinge edge. Turn over the Self-Laminating Pouches – Cards Medium, lift the backing and peel the edge strip. Then partially peel liner and press laminate against the bookmark. Next, place the second bookmark in place and continue to peel liner from backing. Lastly, completely cover both bookmarks.

Rub laminate well with soft cloth or Teflon bone folder along all edges of bookmarks. Cut around each bookmark leaving about 0.125 – 0.25 inch border of clear laminate. Punch hole at top. Round corners with corner punch or scissors

Add the Finishing Touch

Cut a piece of seam binding or ribbon, loop through hole and knot the ends. One of the bookmarks shown with the verse is the back side.

I hope you enjoyed this Unique Laminated Bookmark Duo tutorial. Perfect for the bookworm in you, a friend or two!

A Classic Mouse Birthday Card

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Jennifer Ingle

Hi, folks! This is Jingle here today sharing a super fun Classic Mouse Birthday Card featuring everyone’s favorite mouse! I chose to go with a greyscale color scheme for the Mickey to give it that truly classic look. Because the colors are so simple, I wanted to really make things stand out with layers of amazing dimension. That’s where I turned to my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam adhesives collection to build Mickey in the best possible way!

Classic Mouse Birthday Card by Jennifer Ingle for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Begin with the Classic Mouse Design

To create this card, begin by die cutting the pieces using your die cut machine. Designer’s Tip: Good quality cardstock is important when you are building depth and dimension, as it needs to hold up well. Now that our pieces are all cut, we will begin assembly.

Determine which pieces will be popped up and which will be adhered. Since the piece are small, I decided to use the the 3D Foam Squares Black Small. Designer’s Tip: To pick up these small squares and place them on the small die-cut pieces, I find that tweezers work very well. They are also super handy for removing the backing paper!

For the other pieces, I use the smaller tip on the Dual Tip Glue Pen makes for quick and easy assembly with a great hold.

Working on a Background

Let’s prepare our background. Ink blend a pale blue panel for a beautiful sky look. Cut a strip of green cardstock for the grass, and adhere it to the inked panel with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. I love this one for smaller accents like this!

Add the Focal Point & Sentiment

Again, using tweezers, adhere 3D Foam Squares Black Regular to the back of your assembled mouse. You can use a mix of the regular squares and the small ones to ensure you have full coverage. In some spots, you can double the adhesive to be sure it is even across the figure and will rest nicely on the card.

Attach the mouse to the card and then, using E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser, adhere a pre-printed sentiment to complete the design.

Assemble the Classic Mouse Card

Finally, use the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft to adhere your panel to the card base. This offers some additional rigidity and that extra bump to make this a super dimensional card!

Doesn’t that look so good?! I just love adding dimension to my die cut pieces!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you create something that really POPS soon!

Up-Cycled Holiday Card Duo

Posted on February 9, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have some Up-Cycled Holiday Card ideas that came from my pile of last year’s holiday season. Nothing like starting your seasonal cards now especially with what you have on hand! Let me show you my two reconstructed creations!

Up-Cycled Holiday Card Duo by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Holiday Card Duo – Thoughts of This Season

The first card was built from three Christmas cards in my stash. I took one entire glittery scene card front and fussy cut a snowy glittered tree from another. The sentiment was taken from the third card.

Add the glittery card front to a white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Place and pop up the the snowy tree with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix toward the right side of the card. To add a little more lift and highlight the sentiment, I used 3D Foam Squares White Mix and placed it at the bottom.

For the finishing touch, I wanted to accent it with a little more color and shine so sequins were added to the tree using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

Holiday Card Duo – Merry Christmas Across the Miles

The second up-cycled card, I used parts from two Christmas cards. The gold frame and sentiment were from one card. Fussy cut the bird with branch, along with some snowflakes from the other. Let’s work on the frame and sentiment first.

Add the frame to the black cardstock card base using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a subtle lift. Next, wrap a little burlap string around the sentiment strip and tie a bow. Then place it on the top left corner of the card with some small squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

To finish the card, adhered bird with branch to the card front using several 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Then add the snowflakes with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for a different dimension.

Now I know I have two cards done for the holidays this year! LOL! I hope I inspired you to get started on your holiday cardmaking effort. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Floral Card with Flocked Background

Posted on February 7, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Did you know you can use flock with our adhesives to make a fun striped background? Teri here to do just that with 3D Foam Strips and Premium Double-Sided Tape! I’ll also show you how to put together a super cute Hello Floral Card!

Hello Floral Card with Flocked Background by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Hello Floral Card Panel

Use a white cardstock panel as the base to apply a combination of 3D Foam Strips Large White and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in for an alternating stripe pattern of width and height. Or mix it up to your desired look. Trim off excess off the edges of the panel.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Flock

Remove the release papers on the strips and cover them with white flock. I used the same color but you could mix it up by using different colors. If you decide to go that route, apply each flock color to one strip at a time to keep from mixing colors together.

Assemble the Card Layers

Create your own patterned card mat by adhering a combination of different designs to a card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then pop up the flocked striped panel on the patterned card mat with 3D Foam Strips.

Create the Floral Cluster

Arrange floral die-cut shapes in a cluster design. Designer’s Tip: Use a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in to help determine placement before committing. Once the design is decided, mount the floral cluster on the card front with 3D Foam Strips Large White.

Add any additional die-cuts to your panel with 3D Foam Squares Regular Size for an extra little pop.

Add a Sentiment and Embellishments

For the greeting, I used a sticker sentiment and for extra security. I added a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in because I was worried it would not hold well with the flock I used.

Complete the Hello Floral Card by adding a few more small flower die-cuts or stickers to it with Adhesive Dots Micro. It’s a perfect size!

I hope you enjoyed today’s tips and tricks. Consider making your own flocked paper panel with 3D Foam Strips Large White and Premium Double-Sided Tape 1in!

Happy Creating!

Layered Heartful Card

Posted on February 5, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! Valentine’s Day is coming up, so time for some last minute creative Valentine’s crafting. This Layered Heartful Card is very easy and quick to create…and the best part? It’s made of the left over sheet from 3D Foam Hearts! Shall we get started?

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

Layered Heartful Card Panel

Remove the top liner of the 3D Foam Hearts leftover sheet, keep the bottom liner on to help keep its shape. Plus it’s easier to place it on a red cardstock panel. Once adhered, rub to secure.

Remove the back liner. First randomly sprinkle pink glitter, press to secure into the foam and tap off excess. Next, repeat the same steps with the orange glitter. Trim the red panel to the desired size. The technique making your adhesive shine is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Finishing Touches

Let’s assemble! Layer the card panel onto a pink mat and then onto a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Next, stamp a sentiment on a white banner with black ink and mat onto a slightly larger pink banner using the same adhesive. Lastly, pop up the sentiment subtilty with some Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. The height of this tape is only 1/32″ (about half of 1/16″).

And voilá, the Layered Heartful Card is ready to send! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and inspire you to create one too! I wish you happy crafting!

CAS Bookworm Layout

Posted on February 4, 2026 by Ali Skifton

Hi there! It’s Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli), and I’m so excited to share this CAS (Clean and Simple) Bookworm Layout featuring my bestie Jenny and me. We are huge readers for as long as I can remember, even back in high school. Leaning into reading even more, we attended several book events nearby. I’ve documented a book launch party of Emily Henry’s new book Great Big Beautiful Life.

CAS Bookworm Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Building the Bookworm Layout

For this layout, I chose a pretty teal cardstock for the background and used the adorable bookshelf stickers from a sticker sheet as an element. How? Simply apply baby powder to the backs of the shelves and used 3D Foam Strips behind them. It was perfect since the pieces were so narrow. This really made them pop off the page.

For interest, I staggered the shelves and used my favorite 3D Foam Squares White Mix behind the book stickers and stacked them on each shelf. To add even more dimension, I also popped up the other book stacks, plants, and typewriter ephemera.

I used my handy E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to adhere the note papers and layered our photos over the torn pieces for extra texture. I absolutely love how this layout came together!

We have so much fun discussing the books we read and attending bookish events together. I hope everyone is taking advantage of the cold weather we’ve been having—perfect for cozy reading time or getting crafty. Stay warm and happy reading! 📚✨
