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.

Take a look at this cool vibe going on the canvas project that Linsey Rickett created for Day 2 of our Blog Swap Week with Jillibean Soup. We are visiting both companies’ blogs and Instagram accounts for wonderful giveaways. The designs from the Bohemian Brew Collection Pack inspired her to make this project with our E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and its various E-Z Runner® Grand Refills, and Creative Photo Corners. Don’t forget to read all the way to the end for giveaway details!
A piece of the blue patterned paper panel from Happiness was adhered down first and on top of it, a piece of the red patterned paper panel from the B side of Content was adhered down. This completes the layered base of the canvas.
Embellishing the Canvas
Now for the fun part, embellishing! For the focal images (“Enjoy the Journey” and “Beautiful Soul”), Bohemian Brew Bite Size Bites was used by cutting the two panels and securing them with the Gold and White Corners from the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack.

The celebration starts on both companies’ blogs and ends on both companies’ Instagram pages. See the giveaway details at the end of this post!
This collection is outstanding! It’s full of color and uplifting sentiments. Instantly I knew which photos I wanted to use, they feature my family, who colors my world (mushy sentiment tie-in intended!)
You can see that my photos are odd sizes, I’m not too ashamed to tell you, I ran out of photo paper, and I used “cut offs” from letter-sized photo paper sheets! I love that the photos printed out in a non-traditional size. They worked perfectly for the idea I had for this layout. Don’t be afraid of adding multiple photos to your layouts, that’s what scrapbooking memories is intended for!
This collection has so many fun patterns and colors, I wanted to try to incorporate as many as possible on my layout. Let’s look at how I accomplished this by adding layers.
I like to add dimension to all of my layouts and cards. It is easily achievable with 3D Foam Squares!
Thanks for letting me share this creation with you today! I hope I inspire you to create some great stuff! Make sure you’re checking back all week long!

I have a Sweet Wishes Birthday Card to share today! For me, sometimes need drives my creative energy. I need a card for a sweet 5-year-old so this is what I made. To vary the height of dimension, I used both Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.
The fun part of this card is coloring 🙂 It also takes the most time along with fussy cutting but the assembly is quick and easy!
Details of Sweet Wishes Card
Form 4.25 x 5.5-inch card base from white cardstock
Other Supplies Used: Penny Black Stamps; Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Versafine Ink; Photo Play Paper – Spread Your Wings; Spellbinders Paper Arts Circle Die; Alcohol Markers; Cardstock: White, Turquoise
Hi, friends! Want to give someone a gift card for their birthday, graduation or some other special occasion? Why not make a colorful pocket to give it in! I’ll show how with products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and a few basic crafting supplies in this quick, easy tutorial.
Creating the Pocket!
Start by cutting an 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ panel of cardstock. Set it on a scoring board horizontally. Score lines at the 5″ and 5 1/4″ marks.
Add patterned paper to the inside of the pocket, as well as the outside. Be sure to fold the paper along the score lines so you don’t cover the folds with patterned paper.
Open the pocket up. Use Crafty Foam Tape to make a “U” along the pocket. Make sure you don’t put any at the top or you won’t able to place anything in your pocket. Remove the backing paper from the tape strips and seal the pocket.
Decorating the Gift Card Pocket!
Now, you that you have the pocket, you get to decorate it! Use a hole punch to poke a hole at the top of your pocket.
Then add a stamped sentiment. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of cardstock and then adhered it to the pocket with Crafty Foam Tape. I love using the tape rather than a flat adhesive because it adds dimension and really helps draws attention to the words!
Tie some twine around the pocket. Also, add a little twine to the hole at the top of the pocket. Not a fan of twine? Use ribbon instead.
Complete your pocket by adding a little sparkle! Take a couple 3D Foam Circles and dip one side of each one in glitter. Adhere the circles to your pocket.
Stuff a gift card in your pocket. For an extra special personal touch, cut a piece of cardstock to fit in it too and write a personal note.
One thing that is super cool about these pockets is you don’t have to use them to give a gift card. You can stuff cash in them too! Simply fold a bill or two and place it in the pocket instead.
Other:
Patterned papers from Doodlebug Design; Simply Sentiments stamp set from Lawn Fawn; Twinklets Diamond Dust glitter from Floracraft; White cardstock; Black ink pad; Twine; Hole Punch, Scoring Board

Welcome back crafty friends, Tracy here and today I have a fun and quick little tutorial to share on how I created this Get Well – Pom Pom Card. I love to add fun texture and dimension to my projects with pretty ribbon and trim. I want to share a couple of tips on how to do just that.
How to Adhere Pom Pom Trim
I started with a plain white chipboard frame, and the pom pom trim I wanted to use. When it comes to anything trim or ribbon, I turn to Extreme Double Sided Tape. Using this tape will ensure that my textured pieces stay in place.
I started adding the trim at the bottom of the chipboard frame.
Tip: If you ever anticipate imperfection, like the beginning and end of this trim, Place it at the bottom of a project. The eye is less likely to notice it there.
Continue around the entire chipboard frame, one section at a time. Then I added another layer of Extreme Double Sided Tape to adhere the back side of the trim to the patterned paper in the next step.
Have you ever looked at all the elements you want to include in a project and realized you have a lot of unique shapes? That was the case for me today! I was using this collection with a lot of round shapes, skinny shapes, and just plain obscure shapes. I knew I had two products in my adhesive arsenal that were about to get a work out: the 3D Foam Circles and E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser! Here’s the layout that required special attention!
I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever used pieces shaped like lipstick, high heels, lips, and makeup brushes! Additionally they all have pretty unique shapes and many are somewhat skinny!
Adhesives for Unique Shapes Close-ups
For this cluster of elements I used the E-Z Runner Micro on both the lips and the lipstick as I wanted them to lay flat. I used 3D Foam Circles to pop up my sunglasses! The E-Z Runner Grand secured my picture, frames, and patterned paper strips.
Here you can see how I pulled my title cluster together. The E-Z Runner Micro go a workout on “glamour” along with the makeup brush. While the 3D Foam Circles popped up the lips and perfume bottle. I love that there are options for adding some great dimension within a cluster as well as keeping things flat!
Adhesives for Unique Shapes Process Video
While a collection like this could have been tricky to assemble, having the BEST and most DIVERSE adhesives around made the task easy! Now what other unique items can I find to glue down???
