I created a colorful all-occasion pop-up card using Safari Adventure Collection – 6 x 6″ Patterns and Solids and Safari Adventure Collection – Journaling and Ephemera Cards.
I fussy cut a flower from another ephemera card and adhered with 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular (and card panel) for dimension. Just add glitter to the mix for a fun accent. The black card base against these pattern papers really makes a stunning combination. I edged all the papers with like ink colors for a subtle finish. Inside I added a journaling card to write a note. Everything was adhered with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. For step by step tutorial on my blog, click: Jungle Safari Pop Up Card Tutorial.

By Doris Cote October 26, 2016 - 6:00 pm
I make a lot of mini albums for family and friends and go through double sided tape like nobody’s business. Can never have too much of it on hand and in all the sizes. I tend not to use a large tape runner because I’m a lefty and the tape is not centered on the huge runners, so I have to look over and around for good placement. Love the smaller ones.
By Laurie Black October 26, 2016 - 8:51 pm
Darling projects, thanks for the inspiration!
By Janet Ingraham October 26, 2016 - 10:09 pm
Holy Cow these beauties are made without hot glue. EZ runner, 3D foam, extreme double sided tape, and scrapebook adhesive does it all. I will be buying those three items I don’t already have.
By Katie B. October 27, 2016 - 3:08 am
Beautiful card and papers! Thanks for showing us what you used for dimension. Thanks for sharing.
Katie B.
By Debbie Reitz October 27, 2016 - 9:36 am
The vibrancy of these colors and these creative projects wins big in my opinion! EASY adhesives are such a plus from glue!!
By Stacey October 27, 2016 - 9:47 am
So glad to see this blog hop!! I needed more adhesive and now I can order from you!!
By Stacey S October 27, 2016 - 9:50 am
