Hi, Emily here today! I’m excited to share a simple Envelope of Hearts but a fun take on cardmaking using some lovely 3D Foam Hearts and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets to add more shine to your cardmaking!

Envelope of Hearts by Emily Moore for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The Keepsake Envelopes were my inspiration here as I wanted to create an envelope that was bursting with flowers & hearts! I used the smallest envelope in the pack. The great part about the Keepsake Envelopes is the backing is all adhesive, so I was able to just peel the back off and place it onto the front of my card! I stuffed it with some vellum leaves so it looked more ‘realistic’. Then I added the flowers with my E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. The Keepsake Envelopes would also be a great use in journaling or memory keeping.

I was able to put the larger flower on with the 3D Foam Squares Small since I knew I wanted to add the hearts near them. Also, I added the smaller flowers on with the 3D Foam Squares Micro, I LOVE these squares and get SO much use out of them. They are especially perfect for adding that extra lift on smaller details that are perfect for card making.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Hearts!

Now time to add my heart accents! I love these 3D Foam Hearts, they are perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s holiday and are so much fun to use in card making, and so easy! Simply placed them down around my flowers, and then I grabbed some of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Pastel Colors. Using the pink & purple foils, rub the foil, the color side facing you, onto the 3D Foam Hearts. These add the perfect amount of shine!

To the right side, I had some blank space to fill. To play on the envelope theme, I found some ephemera in my stash that looked like a notepad. I also used this adorable pencil as well! Using the Micro 3D Foam Squares, I placed the pencil on top of the note card, perfect size!

I added one more 3D Foam Heart in the corner of my little notepad, perfect for either writing your sentiment or leaving it as is. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L has all sorts of fun 3D Foam Shapes you can add foil to! This is such a fun technique, and I hope it’s something you will be inspired to try!

Thanks for coming by!
