It’s very close to Halloween! Why not make a quick BOO Treat Bag for a friend, neighbor or Trick or Treater! Let’s make several of these easy and quick bags!
That’s it! The only thing left to do is fill with treats!
3D Foam Creative Sheets are one of my favorite things to die cut! They cut easily and give dimension! With adhesive on both sides, it’s so easy to add glitter or paper to one side and fasten them with permanent adhesive on the back.

Hi, friends! Like the watercolor look? Like cards with glitter on them? You are going to love learning how to make some paper crafted cards like these! Read on for the quick and easy tutorial!
Make Watercolor Leaves and Background
The first thing you are going to do is make the background. Create a standard A2 card from white cardstock. Set it aside.
Take a piece of watercolor paper and brush on several different colors of watercolor paint onto it. Let the paper panel dry.
Then take some leaf dies and cut several leafy die-cuts with them from the panel. Not a fan of leaf dies? Consider using different shapes like hearts, flowers, and stars – all would look lovely on a card too!
Adhere the leaves onto your card with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Be sure to cover the back of the leaves thoroughly with glue so nothing pops up and off the card.
Cut a strip of cardstock and stamp a sentiment onto it. Use Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to adhere it the card. I like these thin squares because they make card elements pop but they don’t make them too bulky.
Let the tape run off the edges of the card. Use your scissors to snip away the excess.
Take an embossing powder bag and rub it over the tape strips and the areas near the tape strips. (Don’t have a powder bag? Try using a dryer sheet instead.) The purpose of this rubbing is to remove static so extra glitter will not stick to the project.
Remove the red liner from the tape. Set the card on scratch paper and dump glitter onto the strips.
Shake the excess glitter off your card, and you’ll be left with some awesome glitter stripes.
Remember, it’s up to you how many stripes you add to your card. You can add three, four or more! The possibilities are endless!

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a home decor tutorial. I decorated a plain glass lantern for the season by adding black glue leaves that I then colored with glass paint. This project replicates the look of stained glass and is a great way to dress up a front porch or table centerpiece for Fall.
How to Decorate Glass with Black Glue Leaves
1. Gather a variety of printable leaves and acorns and cut out. Use E-Z Dots® Repositionable to secure the leaves to the inside of a glass lantern.
2. Mix 3 parts of liquid glue from the Dual Tip Glue Pen with 1 part of black acrylic paint. Transfer the black glue into a bottle fitted with a fine tip applicator.
3. Apply the black glue to the outside of the lantern, using the leaf outlines as a guide. Let dry. Remove the paper leaves from the inside of the glass. Rub off any residual adhesives with a finger.
4. Use a paintbrush to add color to the leaves.
Designer Note: I used a specialty ink for glass.
5. Secure fabric leaves to the inside of the lantern using Large Adhesive Dots. Add a flameless candle to the lantern. Applying a Large Repositionable Adhesive Dot to the bottom of the candle will keep it upright.
The colored glass really catches the light in a beautiful way! Try decorating a lantern for Winter by painting holly leaves and berries, snowflakes, or a festive holiday greeting onto the glass.
Hello, my crafty friends, Terri here, with a Word Scramble Gamer Card. My son was the inspiration for this card, and Jillibean Soup has the perfect paper collection to pull this off. Stick around for just a few minutes because this word scramble card has secret clues to unscramble the word. The kids are going to love this!
The Perfect Gamer Collection
The Jillibean Soup “2 Cool For School” Paper Collection Kit turned out to be the perfect collection. It’s chock full of boy stuff, puffy stickers, journal frames, die cuts and the most amazing double-sided patterned paper. Deciding which direction to take can sometimes be a challenge, but not this time. Gaming is a big part of many of our kids lives (adults too!) and this was the perfect theme for what I had in mind.
Round Up Your Supplies
For this project, I kept it as minimal as possible. Besides the collection kit, you’ll need a white A2 side-fold card, scissors, a trimmer, and your adhesives. You’ll need just a bit more white cardstock for the clues, but I’ll get to that later.
As you can see in the photo above, the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix will be used on all my die cuts, to pop up for added dimension. Adhere the journal frame to your A2 card with some trimmed plaid paper included in the paper kit, using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Add your scrambled word to the right edge, using the alpha stickers also included in the paper kit (as seen in the last photo below), for your gamer card.
Creating Secret Gamer Clues
Gaming involves a lot of strategy and problem solving, at times. I thought it would be fun to have the clues on the back of the card. The sticker frame included in the kit was just right to frame my trio of clues. Each tab was scored and folded and has a written secret clue to solve the scrambled word. I trimmed some white cardstock and adhered the inside and backside with my Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. Those puffy sticker circles serve as the closure for the folded tabs and are so easy to gently peel and reveal!
Simply apply more alpha letters, numbers and stickers to the back to direct your kids. Shall I reveal my clues? 1. Summer 2. Game 3. PlayStation. Have you figured it out yet?
This was the hottest game this summer, and every kid I know was playing it. You guessed it, Fortnite! It’s still super hot and all you have to do is ask your kids or grandkids. Trust me, they’ll know what you’re talking about.

Hello crafty friends, Yvonne here sharing a spooky Halloween card. This Halloween card is super easy to assemble with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products. Of course, I used the traditional colors of Halloween, and details like a spiderweb die cut. I made it into a sticker using Adhesive Sheets…no stains and perfect coverage on the die-cut! Let me show you how I made the card.
Making the Spooky Details
Using an ink blending tool, chalk ink a purple circular shape on orange cardstock. Let dry.
Lift the yellow liner of an Adhesive Sheet 4×6 inch sheet and place a piece of black cardstock on top. Trim the black cardstock to the size of the spiderweb die and die-cut. Remove the liner from the die cut and place onto the orange cardstock over the inked purple circle shape.
Next, trim the orange cardstock with about 1/8 inch border around the black die-cut.
Adhere the layered panel to a purple card panel. Wrap black satin ribbon around the panel and adhere the ends to the back of the card panel with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere the layered panel to an orange card base.
The Finishing Ingredients
Stamp a Halloween sentiment onto black cardstock using an embossing ink pad. Sprinkle white embossing powder over it and use a heat tool to melt.
Trim a banner from the embossed sentiment and tear the left side of the banner. Adhere the sentiment to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Die-cut some bats from dark green cardstock, draw eyes and a mouth using a white pen or white ink. Now curl the wings of the bats slightly and finally affix the bats to the card using Adhesive Dots Mini.

Welcome back, scrappy friends. Tracy McLennon here and today I have a sweet and simple layout tutorial to share that packs a huge punch of SPARKLE! Here is my complete tutorial on how to add Sparkle & Shine with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Glitter….do you LOVE it like me? It’s just SO darn pretty. I do have a little tip for you, keep a dusting cloth in your craft area for quick stray glitter clean up. Inevitably a piece of glitter will end up on your face, it’s just science. Let’s Sparkle & Shine with this tutorial.
Bring on the Sparkle!
First, grab the glitter you would like to use, your Dual Tip Glue Pen and a thick bristled brush.
Cut the white cardstock to 8×10.5.
I marked on my background where I wanted my photo to end up, that way I knew where I wanted my glitter strips to reach. I created a small pool of liquid adhesive from the Dual Tip Glue Pen on my craft mat then brushed the adhesive onto the white cardstock, making sure to leave some wispy brush strokes on the ends. Then add the glitter.
Repeat this with all of the glitter colours. Let dry.
Finishing Touches!
Adhere the white cardstock onto a piece of 8.5 x 11-inch black cardstock.
Hello, Crafters! Valerie here today. I have an interactive Christmas card with a flip slider on it! That is just ONE of the cool features on this card. So let’s get right to it and I’ll show you how to create this fun, cute holiday card!
Step 1: Attach the Merry
Stamp the first part of the sentiment onto your patterned paper with your ink, then use a letters die set and die cut the letters to spell “MERRY.” I’m using a set that has a shadow layer behind the letters (see below image).
Using my E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser I adhered the letters to the paper. BUT I didn’t like how they were aligned, so it was SUPER-DUPER nice to have the reflexibility to be able to lift those letters up and shift them a little! Here you’ll see where I start lifting them.
Step 2: Add Foil Letters
Now I need to add the second layer of letters on top of the shadowed letters. Here they are die-cut from a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheet from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit.
Adhere them on top of the green letter shadows, and peel off the top liner to expose the adhesive.
This is the fun part! Take a piece of the red foil from the same 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit and lay it over the sticky letters (red color side UP). Gently press it to transfer the foil to the letters. Then slowly peel it off, and you have fun glossy-red letters!
Aren’t they gorgeous?!
Step 3: The Panels for the Flip Slider
Here I am putting together the panels that will go onto the flip slider. I have a red base and a top layer of patterned paper which I attached together with my E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Step 4: Attach Panels to Flip Slider
First you have to fold the slider unit as shown in the image below. Then adhere the panels to the flip slider (and the colored images to the panels) with my E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
After everything is attached and folded, the only place you need to add adhesive is on the back of the 2 little tabs; I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. Then just place your unit on top of your card!
Step 5: Add the Sequins
After I finished the card, it needed “something” and that was to add sequins! To secure them to the card, I used my Adhesive Dots Micro.
NOW, my card is done!
Here is the flip slider in action (so fun!):
I hope you enjoyed this and thank you very much for stopping by! Valerie

I adore the papers in this collection and the attention to detail of the designs carried across to little Pea Pods, the instant pop out die cuts. I wanted to make an alternative to a regular card so I created a fold out wallet, this enabled me to use lots of the gorgeous designs!
I cut and scored a piece of brown cardstock to make the outer wallet. Using a trimmer I cut various designs of the patterned paper and also matted one of the wonderful sentiments. All affixed in place with the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. This works on even the smallest paper pieces and die cuts as it dispenses in little strips, use as little or as much as you need.
I switched to 3D Foam Circles White Mix to fix down those little die cuts, they fit so neatly on the reverse and there are two sizes in each pack.
On the outside of the wallet, I opted for Crafty Power Tape to keep the patterned paper in place. This is a super high-tack double sided tape with a liner that is so easy to remove.
I finished my wallet by wrapping a piece of twine around to keep it closed. These wallets make a nice alternative to cards and, of course, you could pop inside a store gift card or photo if you wished. Thank you so much for joining me today.

We love the farmhouse style and so does Margie Higuchi as she created her sweet Memories scrapbook page using the Farmhouse Stew Collection. For Day 4 of our Blog Swap Week with Jillibean Soup (JBS), both design teams inspire us all. Take a look at JBS blog and both our Instagram accounts for more and giveaways too! Stay with us till the end for details. Let’s take a look at Margie’s page!
Memories Scrapbook Page by Margie Higuchi
Using the Farmhouse Stew Collection from Jillibean Soup, I have created a sweet scrapbook page of my college friends at a recent gathering. This was so easy to create because the collection pack had everything I needed.
Creating Layers on my Page
Let’s start with my foundation which is the three different patterned papers I used for my layers. The Gimme Some Sugar patterned paper was my 12 x 12 inch base, cut Hold Your Horses patterned paper (blue) to 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches, Bless Your Heart patterned paper (brown) to 9 x 9 inches and lastly, cut Gimme Some Sugar patterned paper (red) to 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches.
I wanted to create some interest on the page so I added splatters. Using a mix of Happy Hues – Yummy Yellow and water, I lightly flicked with a small brush around the left side and bottom of the Bless Your Heart patterned paper (brown). Set aside to dry.
Punch out a sentiment from Farmhouse Pea Pod Parts (die cuts) sheet, apply a strip at the bottom with E-Z Runner Grand Ultra and place below the photo. Punch out “Memories” from the same sheet and give it a pop with 3D Foam Circles White Mix Small Size. Adhere below the sentiment. Lastly, add three puffy butterfly stickers from the Farmhouse Stew Puffy Stickers set below the Memories die cut. Set aside.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside
By this time, the paint splatters dried but I wanted a little more interest so I decided to use a combination of 3D Foam Circles White Mix Small Size and Adhesives Dots Micro to “WEAR YOUR ADHESIVE ON THE OUTSIDE” with glitter and glittered embossing powder! Yes, both are heat resistant and are so much fun to create! Let me show you how.
Three 3D Foam Circles White Mix Small Size were placed randomly on the Bless Your Heart patterned paper (brown) and then I added in my four Adhesives Dots Micro. Note: I used my embellished photo mat as a guide…didn’t want any of the dots to be blocked.
First I started with the glitter – just sprinkle over whichever dot or circle you choose, press it in to secure and tap off the excess. For the glittered embossing powder, repeat the same steps but at the end, melt with the heating tool.
A close up of the brown glittered 3D Foam Circles White Mix Small Size and two of the heat embossed gold dot and circle. Love how they retained their shape under the heat!
To continue with “WEAR YOUR ADHESIVE ON THE OUTSIDE” I wanted to share an embellishment I enhanced the flower bouquet die cut from Farmhouse Pea Pod Parts (die cuts) sheet. By applying E-Z Dots Permanent to the centers of each flower and sprinkling the same brown glitter.
Adding on the Final Touches
Then I continue to assemble a sweet bouquet in a glass jar. I used the Adhesive Lines to put the jar and bouquet die cuts together and then added 3D Foam Circles White Mix Small Size behind both. They will adhere on top of a 9 3/4 inch piece of rick-rack trim going across the layers of the page, secured with the Adhesive Lines.
Lastly, adhere the embellished photo mat with E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong and you are done! Here’s another look at the finished Memories Scrapbook Page!

So much to enjoy during this Blog Swap Week with Jillibean Soup! Have you picked a favorite or one to try? Don’t forget to visit Jillibean Soup blog and our Instagram accounts to enter our giveaways. Details at the end of this post. Now about these fabulous Notepad Gift-ables from Shellye McDaniel!
I chose two different double-sided papers from the collection: Bold Brilliance and Flashy Tint for the base. I cut the papers to 3.25 x 8.25-inch and then scored at: 3.25-inch, 3 5/8-inch and 7-inch.
Now it’s time to attach the notepad. I’ve used the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2 in and applied several strips to the bottom of the pad. I centered the pad over the covered chipboard square.
After folding over the top flap and corner rounding the edges, I applied two strips of the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4 into each side of the flap as shown. This will create our little pocket!
Notepad Gift-ables Details
To the pocket I can add mini paper clips, a book of stamps, coupons, etc.
