Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a tutorial on how to make a card using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. This Laced Glitter Card is super easy to create so, also suitable for beginner cardmakers.
I would love to share how I made this card! Shall we get started?
Laced Glitter Top Card Panel
Start by adhering an Adhesive Sheet 4×6 inch onto a piece of black cardstock. Remove the yellow liner and place it on the back of the black panel. Rub the white liner into the panel to transfer the adhesive before removing it. For a visual, view the video below…
After having removed the white liner, lay a piece of lace over the sticky card panel and rub gently to secure. Now it’s time for the fun….Glitter. All. The. Things!
Glitter the Lace
Since the lace is transparent, the stickiness of the Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch is still there. I covered the area by adding dark blue glitter. Simply cover the laced panel with glitter and rub the glitter into the panel to secure, and then tap off any excess.
This technique, Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside, brings your adhesives out from the layers and makes them shine as embellishments like this Laced Glitter Card.
Let’s finish with a stunning bow for the card. Using the same ribbon, I tied a bow and secured it with the Adhesive Dots Medium – perfect for stain-free adhesion.
For a little sparkle, I added a self-adhesive rhinestone. Voilá, your Laced Glitter Card is ready.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting.

Hey, friends! Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here, and I’m excited to share a special Forever Besties layout featuring my dear friend Anne and me. We first met nearly 20 years ago at a scrapbooking event in Chicago and instantly clicked—we’ve been inseparable ever since!
Forever Besties Layout Background
We’re always up for an adventure, and this photo captures one of our favorites: a fun weekend in Chicago where we took a martini-making class at the world’s largest Starbucks Reserve. It was such a blast, and I absolutely love this selfie of us from that day.
Design Details
For this layout, I followed a Paper Issues sketch to create a vibrant 12×12 page. I had so much fun making the floral banners and adhering them to the colorful plaid background using my trusty E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser—a must-have in my tool kit!
I used the Happy Haven collection by Paige Evans, which includes the most adorable 12×12 sheet of thick foam stickers. To balance out the dimension without adding too much bulk, I used Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft behind the foam photo frame and that super cute car sticker. For the “friends” title and “moments” banner, I used 3D Foam Strips to give them just the right amount of lift.
I hope you have a bestie like Anne—and if you do, don’t forget to document that amazing friendship! Scrapbooking those memories makes them even more special.
Hi, Margie here today and I found a super fun and interactive card to share! Let me show you my Double Pocket Hello Card featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Love how it turned out!
Double Pocket Hello Card Base
Trim an 8.5 x 11-inch orange cardstock. With the 8.5-inch side up, score at 4.25-inch. Flip to the 11-inch side up, score at 5.5-inch. Burnish all the score lines.
On the 8.5-inch side up, mark the 3-inch on the top and the left side of the cardstock and score a line to connect the two marks. Cut a slit at the 5.5-inch mark to the intersecting lines (to the 4.25-inch). Fold a diagonal line in the lower right corner. Refer to the image below left. Apply the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to adhere the upper left corner.
Pocket Details
Cut the patterned paper to 4 x 5 inches and 5 x 3.5-inch. Adhere them with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Note: Make sure the top and the right side cover the inside of the pocket. The rest will be hidden.
Cover the outside pocket flap with the 6 x 3-inch patterned paper. Mark with a pencil and use the paper trimmer to cut straight lines. Use the leftover triangle to layer on top of the covered flap…it will be embellished first…see the front pocket details section.
Embossing Details
Cut 6 x 1-inch and 4 1/8 x 1.25-inch orange cardstock strips. Lightly mist them with water before embossing them with a 3D Embossing Folder. Designer’s Tip: lightly mist to get a crisp embossed design!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Extreme Double-Sided Tape
Place a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. across the bottom of the card front and remove the top liner. With a piece of brown foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, cover the exposed adhesive (color side facing you) and gently rub the foil to transfer color to the tape. Peel off to reveal the color! Reapply the foil in missed areas.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique brings adhesives out from between layers and uses them on the outside to create unique embellishments! Using foil (in my case) to perfectly match my project or color them. You can also use embossing powder, glitter, pigment powder, and more!
Front Pocket Details
Stamp the butterfly image on white cardstock, watercolor and fussy cut it out. Randomly apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on the leftover triangle. Foil the exposed adhesive spots. Use a watercolor pencil to edge the triangle to profile the shape. Set aside.
Sentiment
Die-cut the HELLO outline with patterned paper and die-cut the HELLO alpha with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small White. Layer the alpha with its outline shape.
Apply the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on the short end of the top panel. Close like a book and seal. This is the back pocket. Apply the same adhesive on the lower panel. Flip up and seal to create the front pocket. The left panel will fold to the back to create the inside of the card. Add a white panel inside to write your greeting.
Die Cut three tag shapes out of orange cardstock (large size), white cardstock (small), and leftover patterned paper (small).
The white tag was embossed with the same embossing folder, the orange tag has a patterned paper belly band adhered, and the patterned tag has a layered ART stapled. All have twine tied to the top and ready to tuck into the pockets.
Lots of steps but really easy to assemble. No special tools for foiling and maybe supplies you already have. I hope you enjoyed my Double Pocket Hello Card.
Have you been inspired to do a technique found on social media? I saw a Fabric Tape one on Instagram. So, I thought I would try with our tear tape, the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in., and fabric scraps! Hi, Judy here today! Let me show you how. Love the look and texture of this Fabric Tape Card. It combines my love of sewing and paper crafting.
Make Fabric Tapes
Gather an assortment of six coordinating fabric scraps. Place a fabric piece right side down on the work surface. Press about a 9 to 10 inch piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. onto fabric and rub well with a bone folder.
Turn the fabric over and rub again with the bone folder. Repeat this application with the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. to make two tapes of the six different fabrics. Use scissors to trim away fabric along the edges of the tape on all pieces. I found this quite easy to do as the tape made a stiff edge to follow.
Designer Tip: Longer fabric tapes can certainly be made if fabric scraps are long enough!
Fasten Fabric Tapes
Decide on the color/pattern arrangement of fabric strips for the 4.25 x 5.5-inch white cardstock card base. Cut a piece of fabric tape to fit along the card fold, peel away the liner, and place on the card, leaving some space of about 0.125 to 0.25 inch.
Continue with a different fabric tape cut at a slightly different length than the first one, peel the liner, and attach alongside the first tape. Repeat the process with different colors and varying lengths of fabric tape across the card front.
Designer Tip: Since I unintentionally lapped a few of my tapes (once in place, the pieces will not move), the border on the right edge of the card was a bit wider than I wanted. Simply trim off some of the edge.
Prepare Greeting
Stamp greeting on a piece of 0.75 x 1.5-inch white cardstock with black ink. Punch a hole at the left top corner, thread three pieces of string through the hole to tie a knot. Place on the back of the sentiment, two smaller squares of the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and adhere it on the card front on top of the fabric.
Add Buttons
Choose 3 coordinating buttons of different sizes, about .375 -.625 inches in size. On back of each button, place Adhesive Dots Small or Adhesive Dots Medium according to button size. Leave liner in place to arrange buttons as desired on card front (as shown in photo). Then peel the liners off each button and press into place.

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a beautiful little Layered Vintage Style Card to share. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
The first step in creating this Layered Vintage Style Card is to cut the white cardstock card base. The gingham patterned paper card layer and the white cardstock card front. Using the paper distress tool, distress the edges of the top 2 layers.
The next step is to choose and adhere the large layer die cut pieces. I adhered all of these pieces to the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Just that little bit of thickness adds so much dimension between layers of this Layered Vintage Style Card.
Designer’s Note: You can also use our Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. in Black as it has the same height (1mm) but on a large roll that can be long or short, depending on the project!
Adding on the FUN Layers
Choose the next smaller ephemera pieces for the card, and once again adhere them to the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.
As I created this Layered Vintage Style Card, I chose smaller and smaller ephemera pieces to add. Now it’s time for the smallest pieces and the final touches. I used, once again….Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, but this time the 1/4″ size from the pack. Even then, sometimes I snipped them into smaller pieces to layer the flowers and add the ephemera bow.
Hi, Jingle here today! Today’s card is a perfect summer Beachy Hello Card that is sure to bring smiles! This one brings together some really interesting specialty papers to create a design filled with texture without being too complicated.
Crab Elements on the Beachy Hello Card Front
These sweet little crabs are a lot of fun, cut from blue shimmer paper and popped up using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. They are perfect because you have the larger squares for the body and the smaller ones for the claws! Just use tiny drops of Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere those eyes in just the right spot!
Card Layer Details
The layered base of the card adds a lot of visual interest. I rely on my E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser for jobs like this. The black panel is adhered to the card base, and then the sandy panel is adhered to offer a great deal of visual depth.
The water is a beautiful Unryu textured paper layered over white cardstock. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner) is the perfect tool for this job! You can’t see it beneath this super-thin paper, and it sticks so well! I also use this to adhere the sentiment layers, as it is really good with finer detail pieces, as well.
This is a super fun Beachy Hello Card to create. I mean, who doesn’t want to craft little blue crabs, right? I hope you have enjoyed this design, and I can’t wait to see your take on it!

Hi, everyone! Summer’s not quite over yet! Teri here to help you stretch the season out a little longer by making this You Brighten My Day Card. Yep, I’ll show you how to make a card with a great big sun on it!
Brighten My Day Card Panel
Layer a piece of yellow patterned paper panel onto a card base with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. If you don’t have a piece of patterned paper, make your own with inks or ink sprays like I did.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames and 3D Foam Strips
Die-cut a rectangle postage edge shape in white cardstock. Now the fun – let’s build the focal point, the sun! Take several 3D Foam Circle Frames to make one big circle…I used six circles. Next, take several 3D Foam Strips and cut them into small pieces. Place them on your postage rectangle to look like sun rays.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with white flock. How? Take off the top liner of all 3D Foam Circle Frames circles and 3D Foam Strips pieces. Cover them with flock, press to secure into the adhesive, and tap off the excess. Designer’s Note: For a sparkling option, use one of our foils like the pretty Metallic Transfer Foil in Pastel Colors.
Trim the rectangle to fit onto your card front and use 3D Foam Strips Large White to mount it onto your card.
Embellish the Sun
Let’s give your sunshine some personality by adding a mouth, a pair of wiggle eyes, and a sweet yellow bow to it. I used the Adhesive Dots Small to secure all.
Complete the Card with a Sentiment and Embellishments
Stamp a sentiment on white cardstock and place it on your card with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. Complete your card by adding a few sequins or gems to it with the Adhesive Dots Small.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make a Summer-inspired You Brighten My Day Card of your own.
Cheers to Summer, Friends! ☀️🍋 Hey there! Ali here, and today I’m sharing a fun and fresh summer Squeeze the Day Layout inspired by my absolute favorite warm-weather drink—lemonade!
Back Story on the Squeeze the Day Layout
This layout is all about celebrating those sweet, zesty vibes, and it features a photo of the adorable pink lemonade I enjoyed at the Barbie Café in Chicago. It was too cute not to document!
Squeeze the Day Background
When it comes to working with intricate cut files—like these detailed lemon shapes—I always reach for my go-to adhesives:
These products made it easy to add depth and dimension to the layout without any fuss.
I backed the lemon cut file using the cheerful new Bee Happy collection from Doodlebug Design, and I paired it with embellishments from Simple Stories’ Simple Vintage Lemon Twist collection. The lemon foam stickers and ephemera were the perfect match for my summery photos!
Page Details
To give the cut file some lift and highlight the lemons, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.. I also popped up a few lemon embellishments with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and even tucked a square behind the cute lemon flair from Scrappin Happy Studio for extra dimension. Don’t forget to make those butterflies pop off the page too!
Now tell me—who else could go for a refreshing lemonade on this hot summer day? I know I could!
Cheers to summer and sweet memories! 🍹🌞

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a tutorial for a Hearted With Love Card. This stamped, embossed and foiled card is fairly easy to make.
I would love to tell you all about how I created it. Wanna join me?
Hearted with Love Card Panel
Start by inking the background stamp with two shades of ink colors on a white card panel. Trim the panel to the size you like. Mat it to a pink card panel and then to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Heat Emboss the 3D Foam Hearts
Adhere some 3D Foam Hearts in different sizes on the card panel. Remove the top liners of the hearts and sprinkle several shades of embossing powder over the exposed adhesive. Rub the embossing powder to secure and tap off the excess. Use a heating tool to melt the powder. Yes, you can heat the 3D Foam Hearts! Creating embellishments with adhesives is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.

‘Tis the season for gift card giving with weddings, graduations, and showers. So I grabbed my pocket die and adhesives to see where it would take me. Hi, Margie here, and I’d like to share this sweet Starry Hello Pocket Card featuring the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser!
Starry Hello Card Front Pieces
On an A2 top-fold card and a piece of 5.25 x 4-inch patterned paper, color the edges with a dark blue brush pen. Next, die-cut the horizontal pocket die with a patterned paper and repeat with coloring the edges.
Layered Words
Not only do I want to use the Hello as a sentiment word but I also use the Hi from the same set for the inside of the card. I didn’t have a dark blue cardstock, so I decided to color white cardstock after die-cutting and color the edges of the Hello outline shape.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Stars
Make quick and easy star accents with this Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Randomly apply the stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card front and place the pastel blue from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on the stars. Make sure the foil color is facing you and rub to transfer the color to the stars. Done!
Gift Card Holder
To finish off the Starry Hello Card Front, I die-cut a gift card holder and colored the edges in the same dark blue brush pen. Then stamped a phrase with the pen. Just add the recipient’s favorite gift card and tuck it into the pocket.
