This is a clean and simple (CAS) design, sure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique! I began by ink-blending the edge of the card panel with some gorgeous colors to create a border.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with E-Z Runner Petite Dots Permanent and Foil
Stamped the black floral image over the inked background. Next, apply my E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to the flower. I did each section at a time so I could foil different gorgeous Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to each section. Simply take a piece of lavender foil with the color side facing you and rub over the adhesive to transfer the color. Repeat the foiling steps with the green foil to the stem and leaves.
Don’t you just love how the foil offers a bit of shine and color? Plus a bonus of a ton of visual texture, making it a super interesting way to ‘color’ your image?!
Next, I added the Dotted Floral Card Panel to my card base using my trusty Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. for some pop. Lastly, add a simple stamped and die-cut sentiment with the 3D Foam Strips for extra dimension. I hope you try this out! It doesn’t take long to create a gorgeous and interesting card!
Documenting social media posts and my son’s trip to Japan inspired my Solo Trip Scrapbook Layout today. Hi, Margie here, and I’d like to share some out-of-the-box ideas with you. Maybe you can use them in your next layout.
Create the Solo Trip Layout Base
Fussy cut out the inside of the airplane window with detailed scissors. Place the 8 x 10 in. photo collage of my son’s social media posts behind the opening and secure it with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft.
Using the same Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I matted a small photo with patterned paper, and later, a piece of 12 x 12 in. patterned paper to finish.
Split two sticker squares to make one square. Designer’s Note: I used a 3D foam leftover liner to help with placement. I added a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. and foiled with a piece of platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to cover the edges. Remove the top liner, place the foil on top (color side facing you), and gently rub to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the shine!
Creative Photo Corner Border
I layered the foiled border by linking cut Creative Photo Corners Silver for texture. Simply cut off the black liner and tuck the corners into each other to form a line. Continue until you get the length of the sticker square. Since it has adhesive on the back just place it on top of the foiled border. Also, I added a row in the upper right corner where I’ll add a title later.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets and Stamps
Cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White just enough for your stamp images. With a piece of platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. Remove a top liner, place the foil on top (color side facing you), and gently rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal a shiny accent! Reapply foil in missed areas.
I thought I would try and stamp on foil…and it worked out! Use ink like Staz-On to keep the image on the slick surface. To get a good image, I stamped twice (my ink pad might be a little dry). Give it a few moments to dry before die-cutting.
In case you were wondering, I did a heat embossing on a scrap piece. The foam doesn’t lose its shape, but the foil gives a matte or soft textured background and dries the ink. Hope you can see from the image below…it’s hard to photograph.
Assemble the Solo Trip Layout
After die-cutting the compass, remove the liner to place it on the sticker square cluster. Next, place the square in the upper left corner of the layout. Next, stamp and die-cut the geo marker like the compass. Add it to the location in the lower right corner photo
Die-cut the word, “SOLO”, with patterned paper and pop them up with the 3D Foam Strips in White on the upper right corner of the layout. Die-cut the word “TRIP” with patterned paper and adhere it with the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser. When you roll the adhesive over the letter, it hits only the back of the letters. If the word is crooked, you can always peel it off, straighten it out and it stays on! I’ve done this three times – lol! Love this adhesive…you have the right to change your mind….er, design! HAHAHAHA!!
What a fun event to document for my son…his first business trip and a week with my family all in Japan! I hope my Solo Trip Layout inspires you to document a trip – business or pleasure!

First step is to cut the simple slimline card base from white cardstock. Next, cut the dark pink cardstock layer and the patterned paper journal block for the top layer.

Love is in the air! It’s Ali here today and I am excited to share this Be My Valentine Layout with you featuring the 3D Foam Strips to bring dimension to my journaling word strip stickers.
Be My Valentine Back Story
Celebrating Galentine’s Day in Chicago at the beautiful London House! We had a delightful afternoon tea filled with laughter, and those heart-shaped macaroons were the perfect sweet treat!
Be My Valentine Details
For my scrapbook layout, I used last year’s Valentine’s Day collection from Simple Stories and some heart cutouts from my Cameo. Following an Allison Davis sketch, I put this fun page together with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
The 3D Foam Strips add dimension to my journaling sticker word strips — they really make the words pop! I love that! Also, a combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft. were placed behind the heart and chocolate stickers for an extra touch and interest.
Wishing everyone a Valentine’s Day full of sweet treats and lovely memories! Thanks for visiting!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an adorable Special Delivery Baby Card. This card screams cuteness with pastel colors, lace die-cut, and a sweet bear digi stamp.
This card is fairly easy to create and with the uplifted elements it looks so luxurious…it’s meant for that special baby born. I would love to share how I made my card. Wanna join me?
Special Delivery Card Panel
Print a cute digi stamp onto watercolor paper. Color it with ink and a waterbrush. Let the image dry thoroughly. Next, trim it to fit a blue die-cut card panel and secure it with the stamped panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Die-cut and emboss a white lacy card panel to fit the layered blue panel. Adhere a blue satin ribbon across the bottom half of the lacy panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Leave the ribbon ends out.
Next, apply strips of Crafty Foam Tape 108ft to the back of the blue panel to center onto the white lacy panel. This gives a subtle dimension to your Special Delivery Baby Card.
I love how this card turned out…matching colors in the layers, the coloring, and the satin ribbon create a professional and luxurious look to this Special Delivery Baby Card! A wonderful way to congratulate the newly born’s parents and family. Wishing you happy crafting!
Hi, Lara here to share a Valentine’s Day project, Love Heart Pocket Tag. I recently saw a large double-sided pocket tag but wanted something that would be a journal spot for a scrapbook page or a gift tag. You could leave a little note and a gift card, which would make a great gift. So, let me share my process!
This tag was created with patterned paper cut to 3.5 x 7.5″ but you could make it any size you wanted to fit your project. I think it would look great on a 12 x 12″ scrapbook page.
Love Heart Pocket Base
My tag was about 3.5″ wide so I cut the pocket out of white cardstock to the height I wanted + 3/4″ and about 1″ wider. Make it a tiny bit wider so when the sides are folded, they would lay flat. The sides are scored at 1/2″ and the bottom is scored at 3/4″. Secure the three sides to form a pocket with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. and wrap it around the bottom of the Love Heart Pocket tag.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Creative Sheet & Electric Cutting Machine
I cut out a heart shape from the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White and added the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors in Pink to the front. I think this product could create some amazing looks with shapes cut out with dies from a manual die cut machine. I thought about trying to cut on an electronic cutter using a deep-depth blade.
Journal Notecard
Cut a piece of white cardstock to fit inside the pocket. Then, stamp the love image with pink ink, add clear embossing powder, and heat emboss it. Lastly, I added some line work with a black pen around the notecard.
Adhesives used to create this project:
I think this would make a great journaling block for a scrapbook page. What would you use this tag for? I hope this Love Heart Pocket Tag inspires you to make some for your project.
Hi, Judy here today! I used a printed winter scene card as inspiration to create this Textured Warm Winter Wishes Card. A simple white embossed background adds interest without taking away from the image. It’s a simple design that’s easy and quick to put together.
Card Parts
Cut white cardstock 6.25 x 9 inches, score and fold to form 4.5 x 6.25 inch card.
Cut navy cardstock 3.375 x 4.625 to use as mat for image card.
From white cardstock, cut 4.5 x 6.25 inch piece, place in embossing folder and use die cutting machine to emboss it. Then trim to 4.25 x 6 inches.
Place face down on the work surface and apply pieces of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. along all edges and in center. Peel the liners, adhere the image panel to the card front, and press in place.
Add Greeting
Stamp greeting with black ink on white cardstock. Use a coordinating die to cut around it.
Cut narrow strips of Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. and place them on the back of the greeting. Peel the liners and fasten the greeting on the card.

Hi, this is Jingle here with you today sharing a super fun Shimmering Birthday Hugs Card that inspires you to Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles White Mix! This project packs a lot of punch and it is not difficult to recreate, so let’s get started!
Stamp the Shimmering Birthday Card Focal Point
Stamp the adorable pug image with a stamp positioner and black ink. Who wouldn’t want to hug that cuteness?! Then carefully line up your sentiment below the dog and stamp in VersaFine ink for a clear, crisp impression.
Create the Platform
Using a T-Square, lightly sketch lines at the base of your pug above the sentiment. This will tell us where to cut when we begin our fussy cutting. You want the lines just at the base of the dog image out to each edge. Using your favorite detailing scissors, fussy cut around the image and cut just below the pencil line. If the line shows, simply erase it.
Color your image with alcohol markers to complete your image. Now we are ready to get to the fun Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles
On a second card panel using the stamped pug as a guide, randomly place the smaller 3D Foam Circles White around the panel. Designer’s Tip: I find tweezers are easier to pick up and help determine the placements of those little guys.
Use two different foil colors that fit the card design. I used the silver and blue colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors pack. Peel off some of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix, and place the foil over the circle. Rub or tap the foil (color side facing you) to transfer the color to it. Peel off to reveal the sparkle! Repeat until you’ve covered all the dots.
Assemble the Shimmering Birthday Hugs Card
After the foiling step, it’s time to give your stamped image a bit of pop! Line the back with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. This will provide a 1/16-inch lift, offering a dimensional look to the entire card! Just look at how he comes to life and is ready for a hug!
Baby, It’s cold outside! It’s Ali here today and I am excited to share this Winter Fun Scrapbook Layout with you featuring the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. to bring dimension and interest to this cold winter scene.
Winter Fun Back Story
During the Covid pandemic, Jeff and I were thrilled to finally leave the house and visit an ice sculpture festival close to our home. Despite the chilly temperatures that day, we were grateful for the opportunity to enjoy some fresh air. I absolutely adore how Miss Kate’s Warm Winter Wishes collection allows me to craft this delightful winter scene, especially with the accompanying cut file.
Winter Fun Cut File Details
Cut the file twice, one from red paper and one from white. Then using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere the two layers together. I’m really pleased with how the vibrant red of my title and snowflake pops against the background!
Embellish the Layout
Embellish the snowflake on the cut file with white enamel dots. Next, add a charming flair to the center. To give my die-cut shapes some dimension, I used my favorite 3D Foam Squares White Mix . But for the title and photos with larger areas, I utilized my Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft. for a smooth and secure attachment.
Stay Warm and thanks for visiting! Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli)
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a bright Hello Love Layered Card to share that is so simple to create. Here are all of the crafty details.
Hello Love Layers
First step in creating this bright layered card is to cut the cardstock and patterned paper layers. The card base is white cardstock, the next layer is yellow cardstock. Die cut the next 2 layers from black and white cardstock. Cut pieces of patterned paper to cover the top layer (the die cut white piece).
Often I find chipboard stickers to have a lack of stick. In this case, I will pull out my Dual Tip Glue Pen to attach the pieces to my projects. These pieces are the finishing touch to this bright Hello Love Layered Card.
