Fall Foiled Leaves Garland

Hi, Judy here! This Fall Foiled Leaves Garland came out from shopping at a craft and home decor store with my sister. She suggested making a garland out of some wood leaves…well, who can resist a sibling challenge?! LOL! To add more elements, I picked out a slightly different Fall color combo by using blue with orange, inspired by the plaid fabric I found in a display of fall fabrics.

Gather Leaves Garland Supplies

Along with the wood leaves and orange fabrics, I added heavy and medium weight twine, blue seam binding, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Adhesive Sheets

Peel back the liner from Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch and place wood leaf on adhesive. Replace the liner, flip over and burnish over the leaf with a bone folder. Peel back adhesive sheet from leaf and place leaf on non stick craft mat. Note, the adhesive will not completely cover the leaf. Designer Tip: I found it easier to cut Adhesive Sheets 6×12 inch to fit each leaf as duplicated this process.

Use your thumb to press a portion of the Copper/Orange foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (color side facing you) randomly on the leaf. Do not foil all of the exposed adhesive. Repeat with Brown foil and Bronze foil from the same foil pack until you get your desired look. Repeat these steps for the other side of leaf.

Add Another Layer – Ink

Apply ink with a foam applicator to cover areas without the foil on the leaf. It’s okay to rub over the foil as it will not absorb it. Simply wipe off the ink from the foiled areas with a paper towel. This works best on a non-stick craft sheet. Now, turn over the leaf and repeat the inking steps. Designer Tip: I recommend gloves for inking process. My fingers were quite blue when I got done.

Seal with Clear Embossing

Working on one side at a time, cover leaf with clear embossing powder. Remove excess and melt with a heat tool. The clear embossing will seal any stickiness. Repeat to make a total of nine embellished leaves.

Tie Leaves to Garland Base

Cut a piece of 8 feet long heavy twine and knot the ends to make a garland base. Position a leaf stem on the twine and with an 8 inch piece of medium weight twine, tie leave stem to the twine garland. Repeat with all leaves, spacing them about 9 inches apart.

Finishing with Fabric Strips

Cut fabric strips to about 1.5 inches wide and 8 inches long. Loop over garland twine centered between leaves.

Crumple blue seam binding by misting with water and wadding it into a ball in your hands. Shake out and allow to dry (or use hair dryer, heat gun to dry) Cut into about 8-9 inch lengths. Loop two on each side of fabric. Continue to add fabric and seam binding between all leaves.

Gilded Frame Card

Hello crafty cardmaking friends! Tracy here, and today I have a pretty little Gilded Frame Card featuring the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black. Here are all of the details on how I created it.

Gilded Frame Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Basic Layers for the Gilded Frame Card

My first step was to cut all of the basic layers of this gilded frame card. This includes a white cardstock card base and two more patterned paper layers. Then a 2.5″ kraft cardstock square, and a patterned paper 3″ square.

Gilded Frame Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Let’s start the gilded frames. Using the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black, frame the 2 square pieces and trimming off any excess.

Now using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, cover the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black creating the gilded frame card pieces.

Adhere the flat layers together using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser. Leaving the 2 patterned pieces separate for now.

Add a burlap string bow to the bottom of the card front and then attach it to the card base using Creative Photo Corners Kraft.

I added the sentiment ephemera to the card using some left over bits of 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black. Then I added the small heart using Adhesive Dots Micro. Add a few gems to the large frame to complete the gilded frame card.

Wonder World Tunnel Card

Have you ever wanted to try a tunnel card? For my Wonder World Tunnel Card, all you need is patterned papers, circle die, scissors and of course, adhesives! This was my first attempt in creating one from start to finish 🙂 Hi, Margie here with my process…come join me!

Wonder World Tunnel Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Wonder World Tunnel Card Base

There’s a total of five 6 x 6″ layers, including the back and front of the card. Determine your back layer (think background) and set it aside. It will not be cut. Depending on your patterned paper thickness, layer the other four layers together and die-cut with a 4.25″ circle die. Otherwise, cut them two at a time.

Designer’s Tip: Use temporary tape to secure the layer so they don’t shift when die-cutting. I used the E-Z Runner® Repositionable Dots and rubbed off the dots when finished.

Since I only had the patterned paper collection, I fussy cut some elements from the patterned papers and determined placement before securing them with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. For the front card panel, I used some 3D Foam Circles White Mix to secure the large gear piece to the upper left corner for interest.

Create the Tunnel Card

For the tunnel mechanism, cut two pieces of 4 x 6″ patterned paper and with the short side up (4″ side), score every 1/2″. Next, accordion fold the piece starting with a mountain fold…you should end up with four mountain folds. Repeat for the second piece.

On the 6 x 6″ background piece, attach the accordion piece by apply the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on its end on the outer side and attach it on the inside edge of the background piece.

Attach the embellished circle cut layers one by one using the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser by attaching each with the side of the mountain facing you. Attach the end of the accordion piece on the back of the front panel so it doesn’t show.

Finishing Touches

One thing I forgot to do when make the layers and elements…outline with a dark marker or ink. I used a marker. After outlining and some doodling, I repeated my assembling other side of the card with the second accordion piece.

Wonder World Tunnel Card by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This Wonder World Tunnel Card can be for any occasion, depending on the sentiment. I left it as is so when an occasion needed a card, I would add the appropriate greeting.

I love how this turned out…can’t wait to make one again 🙂 What do you think? Would make one too?

Miss You Floating Front Card

Hi, friends! Have you ever made a card with a transparency? Teri here to show you how to do just that by making a Miss You Floating Front Card with a transparency window. Then I’ll add some 3D Foam Shapes to it that will make it clearly amazing!     

Miss You Floating Front Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Make the Floating Front Card Base

Start by creating a card base from white cardstock. Open the card up and cut a few inches off the bottom. Make sure your panel is slightly taller than the piece you cut off. Mount it onto the cardstock.

Cover the top front of your card with patterned paper pieces. Add a border with a sticker or piece of cardstock as well.

Add a strip of cardstock across the bottom of the card. Mount a 3D Foam Frame to cardstock. Add Metallic Transfer Foil to the frame. Remember, when using foil, you want to set it on the 3D Foam with the pretty side up. Rub it firmly onto the 3D Foam to transfer the foil. Once you’ve added the foil, cut part of the frame off and adhere it to your card.

Miss You Floating Front Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add 3D Foam Shapes and Metallic Transfer Foil

Set some 3D Foam Butterflies on the transparency. Add some 3D Foam Circles as well. Burnish the foil onto them.

Miss You Floating Front Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Open your card up and add a piece of patterned paper to it. Be sure to position the paper panel so it can be seen through the window. Add a sentiment that you can see through the window. I used stickers but a stamped one would work just as well.

Complete the card by closing it up and adding a few sequins (or some other small embellishment) to the front of the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Miss You Floating Front Card project and are inspired to try making a card with transparency.

Happy Creating!

Colorful Beaded Card

Hi everyone, Yvonne here! You know I like to use different and sometimes unexpected materials on a card. Well…. Today it’s beads! Using the technique Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside I made this Colorful Beaded Card.

Colorful Beaded Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And the fun thing is that ist’s so simple to make that it’s even suitable for beginner cardmakers. I would love to share how I made my card with a simple tutorial. Shall we get started?

Top Card Panel

First adhere a black sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix onto a black cardpanel. Then rub the sheet for secure fastening. Next remove the top liner. Now sprinkle lots of seed beads over the sticky surface of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix. Then rub for secure fastening of the seed beads.

Colorful Beaded Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Now tap off the excess beads. This technique making your adhesive shine is known as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.

Thread the Ribbon

Make two incisions on both sides of the beaded panel (as shown on the picture below) with a craft knife. With an orange ribbon, carefully thread through the openings.

Wrap the ends around the back of the panel of the Colorful Beaded Card and adhere the ends to the back using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

Finish the Colorful Beaded Card

Mat the beaded card panel onto an orange panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and then to a white card base. Next, secure a bow on the ribbon with an Adhesive Dots Large.

Colorful Beaded Card by Yvonne van de Grijp for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And voilà, your Colorful Beaded Card is ready. Yes…it’s that simple to create! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Magical Moments Layout

Hey everyone! It’s Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli). I’m so excited to share a fun Disney Magical Moments Layout featuring Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft, and a fun cut file! During a visit to Disney World in March, we had the most exciting character encounter with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket! We were thrilled to get photos with these two adorable guys, and I knew these memories needed a special layout.

Magical Moments Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Magical Moments Cut File

Using an older Disney-themed collection, I backed my cut file using seven patterns. I absolutely love how they pop against the blue grid background. The cut file title especially seems to jump right off the page with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.

Magical Moments Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Placement of Photo and Embellishments

I added the journaling word “Magical” to the letter M in “Moments” for a fun little detail. To give the red bow on Minnie’s head interest, I added 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Magical Moments Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Finishing Touches

To anchor the page, two borders were added along the top and bottom of the layout. Next, my photos were double-matted with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for a nice framed look.

Magical Moments Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I applied baby powder behind my stickers (cotton candy and clock) to alleviate the stickiness. Then with a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips, popped them up on the page. Behind the heart, I added a 3D Foam Squares Micro White to place it in the upper right corner, along with a cute tab sticker.

Magical Moments Layout by Ali Skifton for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

And, of course, no Disney layout is complete without a little bit of sparkle! I sprinkled stars in three different spots around the layout to finish everything off.

I love how this page captures such a fun and unexpected Disney memory. Those little character encounters that you don’t see every day can become some of your favorite memories!

Here’s to magical moments at Disney! ✨🏰💙

Family Vacation Interactive Layout

It’s Kristin and today I’m sharing a Family Vacation Layout featuring a cherished family photo from a trip taken in August of 1960. The focal point of this layout is the large circle background. However, instead of leaving the circle flat, I created five individual shaker elements throughout the design. I used products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to securely assemble the layers and add beautiful dimension to my page.

Family Vacation Interactive Layout by Kristin Rizzo for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Family Vacation Layout Shaker Features

I randomly and carefully selected a few areas on the circle patterned paper to cut out in order to make the shakers. Every section I selected as a shaker, I used different sequin mixes to give its own personality while still working together as part of the overall layout. The shakers add another layer of interest among the patterned papers, flowers, butterflies, and ephemera.

After you cut your shaker windows, back them with acetate. Flip the page over and use Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. around the back of the window. Adhere your acetate and then adhere the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. around the back of the window (on top of the acetate). Fill with your sequin mixes and to close the shaker, I cover it with vellum.

Embellishing the Family Vacation Layout

After completing the shakers and attaching my photograph using E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser , I added ephemera from the collection and my stash. I included colorful flowers, labels, buttons, tickets, and several beautiful butterflies. I popped several items up using 3D Foam Squares White Regular & 3D Foam Squares White Small.

Final Thoughts

This layout was such a fun layout to create. It was great to get out my stash of sequins and items from my stash along with the Vicki Boutin Storyteller collection. The circle design gave me plenty of opportunities to mix patterns, while the five shaker elements added something extra special.

I hope this project inspires you to look through your own supply stash and experiment with unexpected designs. Try creating a circle background, mixing your favorite patterned papers, or adding a few shaker elements to your next 12×12 scrapbook layout!

Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️

School Days Shaker Layout

It’s back to school season here. Although my kids are OLD (me too – lol!), I wanted to create this School Days Shaker Layout featuring one of our newest product, 3D Foam Strips 3mm White. It is our highest height of foam at 3mm or just under 1/8”. Taking advantage of the height, I used thicker buttons as part of the shaker mix. What do you think?

School Days Shaker Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

School Days Shaker Frame

Start by fussy cutting the rows of pencils and cut slits in between each pencil to make it curve. Using a couple of pencil rows, I framed the 6” white cardstock circle with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. To make the frame fuller, I added another layer but this time, I used the 3D Foam Strips 3mm White to give it interest and dimension.

Shaker Base

Looking at the shaker frame, I thought it was boring, so I cut a circle out of patterned paper and made a wall around the circle with the 3D Foam Strips 3mm White. Also, I tested the height of various buttons to make sure they didn’t go over the foam well. #Passed

School Days Shaker Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Assemble the Shaker Feature

Adhered together the frame and the base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

School Days Shaker Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Add the Shaker Mix

Using my fingers or tweezers, I pulled a star from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to foil both sides of the star and powdered it to alleviate any stickiness. Then placed it to the shaker well. Repeat the steps until you get your desired amount.

School Days Shaker Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Lastly, I applied three stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the shaker surface. Use pieces of foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the color to the stars. A couple of buttons were secured with the Adhesive Dots Micro on the surface too. So, when the layout is upright, not all the shaker pieces will fall to the bottom.

School Days Shaker Layout by Margie Higuchi for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Remove the top liner of the foam strips from the base and add a 6.25” acetate circle press to secure. Add more pencil rows to cover the gap between the frame and shaker base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.

Make the School Days Shaker Layout

Trim the used patterned paper from the shaker feature to 11” square and mat with a 12 x 12” coordinating patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Then attached the shaker feature using the same adhesive.

Mat and Add Photo

For the photo mat, I used a fun zig-zag design to create a decorative edge to the bottom. Using a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Strips 3mm White (because of the uneven surfaces), I secured the matted photo to the lower corner of the page.

Create the Title

To anchor the title, I cut a strip of sentiments from the back of the collection cover page and secured it with a combination of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and 3D Foam Strips 3mm White across the lower part of the page.

Die-cut “SCHOOL” in teal cardstock (to match the school door) and used 1” circle punch to cut out the super cute alpha from the patterned paper used for the photo mat, I put together the page title “SCHOOL DAYS.”

I hope you enjoyed the School Days Shaker Layout tutorial. Give the new 3D Foam Strips 3mm White and add those bulky bits into your next shaker creation!

We also have the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black as well as the 3D Foam Squares 3mm White Mix and 3D Foam Squares 3mm Black Mix to give you three varying heights in your paper crafting projects! See more product details, click here: New Products in 2026.
