Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a happy and layered Make Life Flamazing Card! It is quick and easy to create so it’s perfect for beginner card makers.
For my card I used the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside to add a little sparkle. I would love to share with you how I made it. Shall we get started?
Make Life Flamazing Card Base
Start by folding a piece of white cardstock into a card. Then adhere a panel of pink cardstock upon the Layered Flamingo Card using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive.
First cut out the flamingo image from patterend paper and the adhere it tot he card base using Crafty Foam Tape 108ft as your adhesive. Make sure you adhere the Crafty Foam Tape 108ft about 1/4″ from the corners.
Then carefully tuck Creative Photo Corners Gold behind the corners of the image and adhere to the dotted card panel of the Layered Flamingo Card.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside
For a fun effect on my card I used the technique called Wear Your Adhsive on the Outside. First adhere some E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser onto the Flamingo panel. I like to use tweezers to adhere the hearts for precise positioning. Then sprinkle some pink glitter upon the hearts and rub the glitter for secure fastening. Tap off any excess glitter.
And voilá your Layered Flamingo Card is ready to bring a smile to someone’s face. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!
Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here! Happy 4th of July! Today, I’m sharing a festive Let Freedom Ring Layout. With this layout, I am featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Stars. The adorable Doodlebug Fourth of July collection was the perfect choice for this patriotic project!
Let Freedom Ring Design
The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Every year, we celebrate with my parents by enjoying a cookout, relaxing together, sharing drinks, and ending the evening with a spectacular fireworks display. It’s a wonderful family tradition, and I wanted to create a special layout just for them.
To begin, I cut squares from several patterned papers and layered them in the upper left corner of my layout using my favorite E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. Next, I added dimension with Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft, popping up fun embellishments including the banner, Uncle Sam eagle, title, and Uncle Sam hat.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
My favorite part of this project is definitely the stars—because nothing says Fourth of July like sparkling stars and fireworks! I used 3D Foam Stars along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors to create custom embellishments that perfectly coordinated with the layout.
Creating foiled stars is quick and easy:
• Place the 3D Foam Stars where you would like them on your project. • Remove the top liner from a star. • Lay a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors over the adhesive (color side facing up). • Gently rub the foil to transfer the color, then peel it away to reveal the shine. • Repeat with additional colors such as blue, gold, and silver for a fun fireworks-inspired look.
The foil transfers beautifully onto the stars, creating gorgeous shiny embellishments in less than a minute. They look just like little fireworks bursting right off the page!
Thank you for stopping by today. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and joy-filled Fourth of July filled with family, friends, fireworks, and lots of crafty fun!

It’s Kristin here. If you love adding shine, and dimension to your paper crafting projects, you’ll love this Tropical Happy Birthday Tag. Together, they create a colorful birthday tag full of eye-catching dimension.
Tropical Happy Birthday Tag Base
One of my favorite things about the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix is the ability to create custom dimensional embellishments. For this birthday tag, I die cut a scalloped frame with it and it cuts like butah! It allows me to turn this die shape into a raised embellishment that adds instant depth to my project.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil
Remove the top liner of the scalloped frame and applied green foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Remember to place the foil color side facing you. The foil adhered to the exposed adhesive to create a smooth, shiny finish that coordinates well with the Doodlebug Summer Fun Collection. Reapply the foil in missed areas.
The Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors are an easy way to add elegant shine and vibrant color. The green foil transformed my simple scalloped circle into a standout focal element while having a dimensional effect.
Creating Extra Dimension with Foam
To increase the dimensional effect even more, I used the 3D Foam Strips. I doubled them to create extra height behind several design elements on the birthday tag. Layering the foam strips added visual interest and helped separate the various pieces of the design. This simple technique creates a professional layered look that makes focal images and embellishments stand out.
The bright colors and playful summer theme paired perfectly with the foiled scalloped circle and dimensional layers to create a super fun Tropical Happy Birthday Tag! Hope you give this idea a try.
Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️ Kristin Rizzo
Hi, Judy here today! I have a Bright Stars Votive Holder project to share just in time for the 4th of July. It’s quite easy to make with 3D Foam Stars, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors, and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors and a clear glass candle holder. During the day the stars shine brightly and at night, simply add a battery votive for a soft glow that will show through the open stars. It’s a fun home decor accent!
Bright Stars Vellum Base
The votive holder measures 3.25 tall x 10″ around if you’re measuring for a vellum wrap. So, I cut a piece of vellum at 3.25 x 10.5″. I marked where the ends lap with pencil and cut it 0.25″ beyond the mark to determine the cut. Apply strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in to the back of one end of the vellum
Bright Stars Placement
Place vellum face up on work surface to add stars from 3D Foam Stars. Carefully loosen each point of largest star and peel off entire star. Place star lightly at angle near center of vellum band. Use needle tool to lift points of 2nd star and then carefully lift it off. Place that star on vellum to one side of large star. Again working with large star, lift points of 4th star (one next to center star), peel it away and place on vellum between large stars.
From second sheet of 3D Foam Stars, lift points of 2nd from largest star, remove entire star and place lightly on other side of large center star. Carefully lift points of inner 2nd star, remove and place back on 3D Foam Stars sheet. Remove one of the larger 2 piece stars and place in center of star on other side of center star (right side).
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
Remove the liner from the largest star, cover with red foil from the Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors (color side facing you) over the exposed adhesive. Gently press the foil and peel to reveal the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas.
Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have plans to do something fun! Do you have kids or grands with an upcoming birthday? If so, I have the sweetest birthday card to share… pun intended! Leslie here with a tutorial for making a Chocolate Bar Card – an oldie but goodie and one of my favorites. I used cardstock, birthday papers and die cut pieces in my stash, and quite a few Scrapbook Adhesives products. It’s a great mini slimline size, so let me show you how to make this!
Cut Card Base & Layers
BROWN CARDSTOCK: Card base: 6″ x 7″, scored at 3-1/2″ on long side. This makes a 3-1/2″ x 6″ size mini slimline that fits perfectly into a #6-3/4 business size envelope. Chocolate bar pieces: Punch nine 1″ squares and eighteen 3/4″ squares.
YELLOW CARDSTOCK: Inside layering panel: 3-1/8″ x 5-5/8″.
WHITE CARDSTOCK: Inside sentiment panel: 3″ x 5-1/2″.
GOLD FOIL CARDSTOCK: Front inner wrapper: 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ with approximately 1/2″ torn off the top (tear away from you).
PATTERNED PAPER: Front outer wrapper: 3-1/8″ x 3-1/2″ with approximately 1/2″ torn off the top (tear toward you). Inside embellishing strips: Approximately 1/4″ x 2-15/16″ (cut two).
Adhere Layers
First, build the chocolate bar. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the nine 1″ squares to the top of the card. You’ll want about 1/8″ distance from the edges and 1/8″ between the squares. Next, glue pairs of the 3/4″ squares together with Dual Tip Glue Pen to make a total of nine. Apply one Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to the back of each square. Then adhere them to the 1″ squares on the card front. Yum, that chocolate bar is looking good!
Now let’s work on the inside. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the white and yellow panels together. Then adhere them to the inside of the card base. Grab the Dual Tip Glue Pen and adhere the embellishing strips across the top and bottom of the white panel.
Embellish Chocolate Bar Card Front
So let’s create the banner using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique. With green, purple and blue glitter along with the 3D Foam Pennants. For additional stability, I stuck the pennants to white cardstock and trimmed around the edges. Remove the liner from one pennant and sprinkle glitter over it. Press with your finger to secure and then tap off the excess. Repeat the glitter steps on the remaining pennants. Apply Adhesive Lines to the top of the pennants and affix them to a length of white twine with knotted ends. Also apply a 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of each pennant and add them to the card front.
Afterwards, add an assortment of die cut pieces using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The different thicknesses of the foam squares adds different levels of dimension. Pull out the Dual Tip Glue Pen again and glue a few more die cuts flat (without dimension).
Complete Chocolate Bar Card
To complete the card, adhere another die cut piece (sentiment) to the inside panel using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. As a final touch, I added narrow green pinstripe peel-off stickers to the panel for a little interest.
Other: Cardstock/Paper: CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown, Bright Gold Foil, and Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock; Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, Keep It Simple Paper Crafts Happy Birthday Paper and Die Cut Pieces Dies/Punches: EK Success 1″ and 3/4″ Square Punches, Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter Punch (tiny hearts) Accessories: Fiskars 12″ ProCision Rotary Bypass Paper Trimmer, Making Memories Green, Purple and Blue Glitter, Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine, Love From Lizi Green Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers
Not only is this a fun way to play with color when making cards, but it’s also a wonderful way to add a little bit of glitz and dimension!
Pick Out Cardstock and Metallic Transfer Foil
Start by pulling out a few sheets of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel. Match them the best you can to cardstock. It’s OK if they aren’t an exact match. Just try go with something close in tone.
Create a notecard from white cardstock. Cut your other pieces of cardstock into strips to fit on it.
Take your transfer foil and apply it to the shapes on each corresponding piece of cardstock. Make sure you apply the foil to one shape at a time. I find that works a bit better than doing it all at once.
Adhere your cardstock strips onto your card. Trim the card is necessary.
Create a Sentiment
Stamp a sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock. Place a 3D Foam Circle Frame around the sentiment. Apply transfer foil to it. Trim the excess with your scissors.
Apply adhesive to the back of your circle. Randomly arrange metallic thread on the circle so loops peek out from the sides. Add several 3D Foam Strips to the circle and mount it to the card.
Complete the card by adding some sequins, gems or small embellishments to it.
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make a tone-on-tone card with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets of your own!
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a Sweet and Simple Family Layout to share which I created in just a few easy steps. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
First step was to choose the patterned paper background and then I cut a piece of 9.25″ square white cardstock. Adhere these layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next cut a white cardstock mat for the 4×6 photo, and secure with Creative Photo Corners Black. Set aside for now.
Cut a few pieces of patterned paper for the layered background. Adhere them to the layered background using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. This is the base for this simple family layout. Add the matted 4×6 photo now using Crafty Foam Tape Black. At this time I also added the patterned tag to the left hand side of the matted photo, again using Crafty Foam Tape Black.
Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! Three cheers for my Red, White and Blue Card! How fun is this fourth of July card?! I created featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Stars. The patterned papers from the adorable Doodlebug Fourth of July collection is perfect! We celebrate with my parents by having a cookout, enjoying drinks, relaxing together, and ending the day with fireworks. It’s one of my favorite traditions, so I wanted to make a special card just for them.
Red, White and Blue Card Front
For this card, I started with two 6 x 6″ patterned papers that reminded me of the American flag. I layered them onto a white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. For the sentiment, I used a sticker that I remove the stickiness with the powder tool and popped it up with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. Center it on the card front.
You can see a peek of the next step! LOL! #WearYourAdhesiveOnTheOutside
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
My favorite part of this project is definitely the stars — because nothing says Fourth of July like sparkling stars and fireworks! I used Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors along with 3D Foam Stars to create custom embellishments that perfectly matched the card.
Place the 3D Foam Stars where you want them on the card.
Gently rub the foil to transfer the color, then peel it away to reveal the shine.
Repeat with other colors like blue, gold, and silver for a fun fireworks-inspired look.
Transferring the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors onto the stars is so satisfying! In less than a minute, I had gorgeous shiny embellishments that look like little firecrackers bursting right off the card.
The Inside of the Card
I just wanted to add something fun on the inside of the card too!
Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and joy-filled Fourth of July filled with family, friends, fireworks, and lots of crafty fun.

It’s Kristin here, and I’m sharing my Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layouts to celebrate our furry family member. The page highlights two sweet round photos of my dog, Bristol. The soft vintage colors, floral elements, and layered details were the perfect choice for showcasing my precious pup.
Creating Brissy Girl Layout Foundation
Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, I adhered patterned paper circles I cut and photo mats. My tape runner is one of my most-used tools because it provides quick, even coverage and keeps larger elements securely attached. The two round photos of Bristol are the focal point of the page. The circular shape adds softness and movement while helping the design feel unique and playful.
Building Layers and Dimension
One of my favorite ways to add interest to a scrapbook layout is by creating dimensional layers. I used a combination of Crafty Foam Tape Black and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to lift the elements (such as floral shapes and tags) around the photos. It cast subtle shadows that make it more dynamic and visually appealing.
Adding the Finishing Details
Once the larger elements were in place, secure the smaller embellishments and delicate pieces with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The fine-tip applicator allowed me to place tiny accents exactly where I wanted them without excess adhesive showing.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layout inspires you to document the special pets in your life. Try adding dimension on your next scrapbook project.
Happy crafting & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️ Kristin Rizzo
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Clean And Simple Style (CAS) Floral Let’s Celebrate Card. There are times that you don’t need a lot of material to create a special card. With that in mind, I have this feminine card. I would love to share.
Panel Layers for the Floral Celebrate Card
On a soft pink cardstock rectangle panel, center a piece of pink satin ribbon with our tear tape, the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. Remove the liner and wrap the ends around the panel to secure.
Add flower trim to the top and bottom of the satin ribbon using Adhesive Dots Large. Each flower center is a pearl which does not have any adhesive so I secured them with Adhesive Dots Mini.
To finish, I added a white cardstock strip by tucking it underneath the ribbon flowers. To secure it, I used Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. A sweet pink bow was adhered with the Adhesive Dots Mini on the white cardstock strip between the flower trim.
For the sentiment, I added a sticker on the satin ribbon. And voilá, the Floral Let’s Celebrate Card is finished!
