Paper Weaving Background Card

Posted on November 13, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I am featuring a Paper Weaving Background Card made by weaving paper strips. It’s easy and a good way to use paper scraps. I used papers from my stash that I painted on both sides. Pattern papers can be use as well. Simply choose a coordinating color paper for the mat. Once I started, I made several with different greetings.

Paper Weaving

Cut several contrasting 0.5-inch strips of painted or patterned papers. Choose a strip and use E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive square at one end. Secure it vertically near right edge of a 3.5 x 5.5-inch white cardstock piece. Adhere three more strips next to first one with adhesive only at top end. Off set the top edges.

Use E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to one end of a contrasting strip, weave it under and over strips and adhere near the top with right edge flush with the white cardstock panel. Trim the edge to make edge even. At this point only right end is fastened. Trim length as desired.

Continue to weave horizontal strips and trim to different lengths. Add vertical strips as desired. Once weaving is complete, apply an adhesive square with E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser on ends that aren’t adhered down and trim right edge even.

Fasten to Card

Use white cardstock to make 4.25 x 6.25 inch side fold card. Cut teal mat 3.75 x 5.75 inches.

Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of woven paper piece and fasten it to teal mat. Then apply adhesive to back of it and fasten on card front.

Greeting

Stamp greeting with black ink on white cardstock and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Use coordinating die to cut it out.

Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of greeting, peel off liners and fasten on card.

Fall Wreath Layout

Posted on November 10, 2026 by Tracy McLennon

Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here and today I have a lovely Fall Wreath Layout to share. Here are all of the brisk air details on how I created it.

Fall Wreath Layout by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s Get Crafty

Collect and cut the basic layers of my layout: 12 x 12-inch patterned paper and 10.5 x 10.5-inch white cardstock. Next, double mat the 4×6 photo in white and brown cardstock. Cut a slightly larger piece of orange patterned paper.

Adhere the largest layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Add Creative Photo Corners Kraft to the photo and adhere the photo to the cardstock layers using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Fall Wreath Design

Trace a circle onto the background using a pencil to be a guide for the Fall Wreath. Adhere the orange patterned paper and the large printed tag to the layout using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Pop up the matted photo to the layout with the Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Start the wreath by adding a few of the larger die-cut/sticker pieces. The large bottom die cut is layered onto the matted photo, so I used 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix on the edges that hang off.

This next bit is the fun part of the Fall Wreath Layout. Start adding pieces around the wreath. Using a combination of Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix construct the wreath with loads of dimension between each piece.

Finishing Touches

Once the wreath is completed, choose your sentiment piece. I overlapped min onto the matted photo and used 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix where it comes off onto the background of the Fall Wreath Layout.

Add a burlap string bow to the top of the large tag for some festive fall texture.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautiful Day Card

Posted on November 8, 2026 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you like to make your own background papers for your handmade cards? Teri here to show you to make Beautiful Day Card using Creative Photo Corners and 3D Foam Products! It’s so fun to see it come together and to use it on a card! Let’s get started.

Beautiful Day Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Beautiful Day Card with Creative Photo Corner Flowers

Start by cutting a piece of cardstock that’s a bit bigger than you need. Take several Creative Photo Corners White and arrange them together so they look like flowers. Keep doing this until your cardstock is filled.

Use your scissors to cut off any corners that run off your paper panel. Use an ink blending tool to lightly apply ink to the middle of your flowers.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Squares

Apply small 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the middle of each of your flowers. Add several 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix of various sizes around the flowers. Apply flock or glitter onto the 3D Foam pieces. Simply remove the top liner, cover with flock/glitter and press to secure. Tap off excess and done!

Adhere your Panel to your Card

Turn your panel sideways. Then add some cardstock and patterned paper strips to it to make one big paper panel. Mount it onto a card at an angle with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Trim the excess with your scissors.

Add the Sentiment

Cut a strip of cardstock. Add it to you to your card. To adhere it in place, simply add some additional 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix in the open spaces of your card. Place it right on top of them. Pick a sticker sentiment and alleviate the stickiness tapping on your jeans. Set it aside.

Place a piece of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft on your cardstock strip and place some thin metallic thread to it. Allow the thread to go off the edges. Mount your sentiment sticker to the card with additional 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix.

Finish the Beautiful Day Card

To finish, add a few 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix to the top and bottom of your card. Remove the top liners and apply a piece of platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Nature Colors, color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer the color and peel to reveal the shine!

I hope you enjoyed today’s Beautiful Day Card project and are inspired to make your own background paper with these ideas!

Happy Creating!

Java Thank You Card with Coffee Lovers

Posted on November 6, 2026 by Margie Higuchi

Welcome! It’s time for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with this wonderful Java Thank You Card! As a SUPER SPONSOR, we’ve provided great prizes too! Grab a cuppa and join the hop with your beverage-themed artwork!

What are Coffee Lovers? It is a coffee-loving (or tea or cocoa) community of card makers open to everyone. Their blog offers inspirational coffee-related posts and coffee blog hops that YOU can join. You get a chance to win the giveaways as a blogger/participant! So read until the very end!

Java Thank You Card

Have you ever used a card kit? I have one from Paper Rose Studio so I created this Java Thank You Card! So, how do you make it your own? Hi, Margie here today to share how to do just that and featuring our newest 3D Foam Strips 3mm White! First, let’s figure out which items we will use. The card panel was cut to 4 x 5.25-inch, an embossed circle focal point, a coffee accent and a sentiment element.

Then I wanted to use a coffee color to the card base but I didn’t want to get a whole pack of brown card bases. My solution? Ink swipe your white cardstock card front with Vintage Photo! Make sure to give it time to dry or hit it with a heating tool.

Assemble the Java Thank You Card

Once the ink dries, secure the card panel to the card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then add the embossed circle focal point using the same adhesive.

Now to make the card “interesting” – how? Use a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips 3mm White for the coffee accent and the sentiment element. The foam squares are 2mm (1/16″) in height so I used it for the coffee accent. Then on top, I lift the sentiment just a little with the foam strip in 3mm (just a tad under 1/8″). So the varying dimension is so cool in person!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles

For the finishing touches, I am going to use several small 3D Foam Circles White Mix as sequins. Randomly place them around the card front and then determine what foil colors to use.

Remove one of the top liners to place a piece of foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (color side facing you) over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer the color and peel off to reveal the shine! Repeat these steps (using other colors…or not) with the other “sequins.”

I hope you enjoy my Java Thank Card tutorial and helps you to break open your card kits in your stash or try one.

Thanks for reading through and Happy Coffee Lover’s Hopping!

Thankful for You Card

Posted on November 3, 2026 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. With Thanksgiving is coming soon, I thought you might like some inspiration on getting crafting for the occasion. This Thankful for You Card is simple to create as I only used pre-cut paper elements. Sometimes simple layered adhering is enough to create a great card.

Thankful for You Card by Yvonne van de Grijip for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And by adding a little spark you give your card that extra luxurious effect. And yes, this card is simple to make for even the beginner card makers. Shall we get started?

Top Card Panel

First trim a piece of green patterned cardstock to a rectangular size for the card panel. Next, pick out die cut elements from the same collection to create a scene. Now to embellish! Center the label shape with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

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

For interest, adhere the other elements and sentiment to the card panel with Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. Designer’s Tip: Cut in pieces that fit behind the shapes and stacking the pieces create multiple layering dimension/height. Lastly, mat the top card panel to a Kraft cardstock cardstock piece and then onto a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Add Sparkle to the Thankful for You Card Front

To add a touch of sparkle, I’m adding glitter and a dab of Dual Tip Glue Pen onto the centre of the flowers and on a leaf. Simply sprinkle frosty glitter on top of the glue dab, tap off the excess and let dry thoroughly.

And voilá, the Thanksful for You card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Cute as a Button Pumpkin Canvas

Posted on November 1, 2026 by Margie Higuchi

It’s Harvest season and love all the colors it represents. Today, I found a painted pumpkin on a canvas in my stash…yes, I’m trying to clean my craft space…SQUIRREL! LOL! Hi, Margie here to share this Cute as a Button Pumpkin Canvas featuring Adhesive Dots 3D, 3D Foam Leaves and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets COLOR…and of course, BUTTONS!

Cute as a Button Pumpkin Canvas by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Button Pumpkin Design

At a trade show, Buttons Galore & More gave me this canvas to play with. So I decided to use my Adhesive Dots to secure all these wonderful buttons, half pearls and sequins also given to me by the kind folks at Buttons Galore & More. I used a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro, Adhesive Dots Mini, Adhesive Dots Medium and Adhesive Dots 3D. Designer’s Tip: Use a gem picker! Such a helper!!

On each side of the pumpkin, I used only buttons to keep a consistent texture and look. These buttons were secured with the Adhesive Dots 3D. Designer’s Tip: For extra security, I briefly blasted the heating tool on the back of the canvas to melt the Adhesive Dots 3D into the buttons (think globs of glue gun glue! lol!).

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Leaves

For extra shine and more dimension, I placed a medium leaf from the 3D Foam Leaves on the upper right side of the pumpkin stem. I wrinkle a piece of green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and after removing the top liner, I place the foil color side facing me. Rub to transfer the color to the leaf and you’ll see the distress lines (which is exposed adhesive).

Next, I place a piece of green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors over the leaf (color side up), rub to transfer the color into the exposed adhesive. Peel off to reveal the marble design! I changed my mind…I layered another smaller leaf from the 3D Foam Leaves instead of what is pictured. Repeat the foiling steps. Done!

I hope you enjoyed my Cute as a Button Pumpkin Canvas! Thanks to Buttons Galore & More folks for a super fun project 🙂

Foiled Background Thanksgiving Card

Posted on October 29, 2026 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today! I put together a Thanksgiving card that features a stunning metallic foil background created with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black. The leaves pattern is made by passing 3D Foam Creative Sheet through an embossing folder. It may look difficult but it’s really not.

Foiled Background Thanksgiving Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Layers

Cut black cardstock 8.5 x 6 inches, score and fold to make 4.25 x 6 inch side fold card. Also cut .625 x 2.75 inch strip and 3.625 x 4.875 inch rectangle.

From orange cardstock, cut 3.875 x 5.125 inch rectangle and .75 x 2.875 inch strip.

Emboss Background Panel

Cut 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black to 3.5 x 4.75 inches (simply cut .5 inch off one long side). Peel back liner at one end, position it centered at one end of black cardstock rectangle and continue to remove liner and press in place.

Place it in embossing folder so that cut sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black will be against side of folder with raised leaf veins so that veins will be pressed into the sheet. Use appropriate die cutting machine plate sandwich to safely pass embossing folder through die cutting machine.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet

Peel back liner from embossed design and lightly press orange/copper foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors on leaf patterns. The object is to apply foil to raised parts of leaves but not in veins or recessed areas.

Continue with bronze foil on leaves and around all edges. Finally, use brown foil to fill in any other areas.

Define the Design with Black Embossing

Cover with black embossing powder and tap off the excess. Then rub your hand over entire foiled piece to remove any embossing powder that sticks to foil. Photo shows excess embossing powder rubbed off.

Gently heat emboss with heat tool. This will melt embossing powder and make foil crinkle. Before foil cools, lightly press bronze foil over it to add touches of shiny foil.

Stamp Greeting

Stamp greeting with Versamark ink on black cardstock strip. Cover with gold embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss.

Assemble the Card

Mat the leaf panel to the orange mat using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and then attach the layered panel to the card front.

Repeat with the sentiment – mat the orange strip together with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and adhere it to the card front.

Fabulous Swing Easel Card

Posted on October 27, 2026 by Leslie Turner

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! Hopefully your week has started off on a nice note! I love having an assortment of extra all-occasion type cards in my stash, don’t you? You just never know when you’ll need one or what kind you’ll need! You can check ‘friendship’ off your list with this one! Leslie here with you today, sharing a ‘fabulous’ swing easel card (pun intended) featuring a variety of our amazing products. This fun fold is one of my all-time favorites because it puts a little different spin on the classic easel card. So let me show you more of the details!

Fabulous Swing Easel Card by Leslie Turner for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Card Base Details

Firstly, I cut the card base from black cardstock. There’s something about the pops of color in those patterned papers on the black background!

Secondly, I cut layering panels from two coordinating patterned papers and some white cardstock.

Thirdly, I adhered all the layering panels to the card base with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Focal Panel & Sentiment

Next, I stamped and heat embossed the image on a white cardstock panel and cut it with a stitched mini scallop die. Additionally, I colored the image with alcohol markers and adhered it with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Have to ask if you ever heard of Flock Dots? Maybe I invented them, lol! Read on to see how I made these and used them to embellish the focal panel.

Afterwards, I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock scrap and punched it with a large oval punch. As the sentiment also serves as the ‘stopper’ for the easel, I adhered it to the bottom panel with 3D Foam Circles Black Mix.

Embellishing the Fabulous Swing Easel Card

For me, embellishing any project is always super fun! As I mentioned above, I created what I’m calling Flock Dots. These are small dots of adhesive from the Dual Tip Glue Pen dropped onto parchment paper and then dusted with white flock from my stash. I allowed these to dry overnight and used them as embellishments on the focal image panel when I assembled the card. They are irregularly varied in size, and so delicate and sweet!

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

By now you know that the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ is my favorite technique! Using 3D Foam Squares Micro Black and pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, I created some embellishments. Turned these sideways in diamond orientation and added four to both outside corners of the bottom panel. The fabulous swing easel card is now complete!

Greatest Gift Pocket Tag

Posted on October 26, 2026 by Connie Mercer

Hi there!! Connie here with a Greatest Gift Pocket Tag using pattern paper for the pocket. So many ways this can be accomplished but here is my version!! The easy way 🙂

Greatest Gift Pocket Tag by Connie Mercer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Creating the Pocket Tag Base

Start with a large tag which I hand cut. Find coordinating ink colors to match the patterned papers that I will use as a pocket and a smaller tag. I used Distress Oxide ink for this.

I also used some cool border dies and cut them out to add length to the tag. Fussy cut the tag pocket from some pretty pattern paper for a great look. The small tag is covered with coordinating pattern paper from the same paper collection.

Stamping Tag Background

Adding in the stamps is the fun part for me. I love a vintage mixed media look. Numbers and script stamps always speak to me, so that is what I use. White ink is a nice touch too especially on a dark paper. Create with the stamps, that you love, will always be my motto!

Assemble Pocket Tag

Attach the two die cut borders together using the 3D Foam Square Micro White and set aside.
The 3D Foam Crafty Tape Black 108′ was great for the dimension I was looking for to adhere the pattern paper pocket to the tag front.
Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, cover the smaller tag with pattern paper.
Love adding the paper dolls so I used the 3D Foam Circles White Mix for this.
Sentiments are added with the 3D Foam Strips Black.
Lastly, the bottom die cut borders are adhered with the 3D Foam Strips White.

Thanks for stopping by.
