Hello crafty cardmaking friends! Tracy here, and today I have a pretty little Gilded Frame Card featuring the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black. Here are all of the details on how I created it.
Basic Layers for the Gilded Frame Card
My first step was to cut all of the basic layers of this gilded frame card. This includes a white cardstock card base and two more patterned paper layers. Then a 2.5″ kraft cardstock square, and a patterned paper 3″ square.
Let’s start the gilded frames. Using the 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black, frame the 2 square pieces and trimming off any excess.
Adhere the flat layers together using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser. Leaving the 2 patterned pieces separate for now.
Add a burlap string bow to the bottom of the card front and then attach it to the card base using Creative Photo Corners Kraft.
I added the sentiment ephemera to the card using some left over bits of 3D Foam Strips 3mm Black. Then I added the small heart using Adhesive Dots Micro. Add a few gems to the large frame to complete the gilded frame card.
Have you ever wanted to try a tunnel card? For my Wonder World Tunnel Card, all you need is patterned papers, circle die, scissors and of course, adhesives! This was my first attempt in creating one from start to finish 🙂 Hi, Margie here with my process…come join me!
Wonder World Tunnel Card Base
There’s a total of five 6 x 6″ layers, including the back and front of the card. Determine your back layer (think background) and set it aside. It will not be cut. Depending on your patterned paper thickness, layer the other four layers together and die-cut with a 4.25″ circle die. Otherwise, cut them two at a time.
Designer’s Tip: Use temporary tape to secure the layer so they don’t shift when die-cutting. I used the E-Z Runner® Repositionable Dots and rubbed off the dots when finished.
Since I only had the patterned paper collection, I fussy cut some elements from the patterned papers and determined placement before securing them with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. For the front card panel, I used some 3D Foam Circles White Mix to secure the large gear piece to the upper left corner for interest.
Create the Tunnel Card
For the tunnel mechanism, cut two pieces of 4 x 6″ patterned paper and with the short side up (4″ side), score every 1/2″. Next, accordion fold the piece starting with a mountain fold…you should end up with four mountain folds. Repeat for the second piece.
On the 6 x 6″ background piece, attach the accordion piece by apply the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on its end on the outer side and attach it on the inside edge of the background piece.
Attach the embellished circle cut layers one by one using the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser by attaching each with the side of the mountain facing you. Attach the end of the accordion piece on the back of the front panel so it doesn’t show.
Finishing Touches
One thing I forgot to do when make the layers and elements…outline with a dark marker or ink. I used a marker. After outlining and some doodling, I repeated my assembling other side of the card with the second accordion piece.
This Wonder World Tunnel Card can be for any occasion, depending on the sentiment. I left it as is so when an occasion needed a card, I would add the appropriate greeting.
I love how this turned out…can’t wait to make one again 🙂 What do you think? Would make one too?
Hi, friends! Have you ever made a card with a transparency? Teri here to show you how to do just that by making a Miss You Floating Front Card with a transparency window. Then I’ll add some 3D Foam Shapes to it that will make it clearly amazing!
Make the Floating Front Card Base
Start by creating a card base from white cardstock. Open the card up and cut a few inches off the bottom. Make sure your panel is slightly taller than the piece you cut off. Mount it onto the cardstock.
Cover the top front of your card with patterned paper pieces. Add a border with a sticker or piece of cardstock as well.
Add a strip of cardstock across the bottom of the card. Mount a 3D Foam Frame to cardstock. Add Metallic Transfer Foil to the frame. Remember, when using foil, you want to set it on the 3D Foam with the pretty side up. Rub it firmly onto the 3D Foam to transfer the foil. Once you’ve added the foil, cut part of the frame off and adhere it to your card.
Open your card up and add a piece of patterned paper to it. Be sure to position the paper panel so it can be seen through the window. Add a sentiment that you can see through the window. I used stickers but a stamped one would work just as well.
Complete the card by closing it up and adding a few sequins (or some other small embellishment) to the front of the card.
I hope you enjoyed today’s Miss You Floating Front Card project and are inspired to try making a card with transparency.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here! You know I like to use different and sometimes unexpected materials on a card. Well…. Today it’s beads! Using the technique Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside I made this Colorful Beaded Card.
And the fun thing is that ist’s so simple to make that it’s even suitable for beginner cardmakers. I would love to share how I made my card with a simple tutorial. Shall we get started?
Top Card Panel
First adhere a black sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix onto a black cardpanel. Then rub the sheet for secure fastening. Next remove the top liner. Now sprinkle lots of seed beads over the sticky surface of the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix. Then rub for secure fastening of the seed beads.
Make two incisions on both sides of the beaded panel (as shown on the picture below) with a craft knife. With an orange ribbon, carefully thread through the openings.
Hey everyone! It’s Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli). I’m so excited to share a fun Disney Magical Moments Layout featuring Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft, and a fun cut file! During a visit to Disney World in March, we had the most exciting character encounter with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket! We were thrilled to get photos with these two adorable guys, and I knew these memories needed a special layout.
Magical Moments Cut File
Using an older Disney-themed collection, I backed my cut file using seven patterns. I absolutely love how they pop against the blue grid background. The cut file title especially seems to jump right off the page with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.
Placement of Photo and Embellishments
I added the journaling word “Magical” to the letter M in “Moments” for a fun little detail. To give the red bow on Minnie’s head interest, I added 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
I applied baby powder behind my stickers (cotton candy and clock) to alleviate the stickiness. Then with a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Strips, popped them up on the page. Behind the heart, I added a 3D Foam Squares Micro White to place it in the upper right corner, along with a cute tab sticker.
And, of course, no Disney layout is complete without a little bit of sparkle! I sprinkled stars in three different spots around the layout to finish everything off.
I love how this page captures such a fun and unexpected Disney memory. Those little character encounters that you don’t see every day can become some of your favorite memories!
Here’s to magical moments at Disney! ✨🏰💙
Thanks for visiting! Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli)
It’s Kristin and today I’m sharing a Family Vacation Layout featuring a cherished family photo from a trip taken in August of 1960. The focal point of this layout is the large circle background. However, instead of leaving the circle flat, I created five individual shaker elements throughout the design. I used products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to securely assemble the layers and add beautiful dimension to my page.
Family Vacation Layout Shaker Features
I randomly and carefully selected a few areas on the circle patterned paper to cut out in order to make the shakers. Every section I selected as a shaker, I used different sequin mixes to give its own personality while still working together as part of the overall layout. The shakers add another layer of interest among the patterned papers, flowers, butterflies, and ephemera.
After you cut your shaker windows, back them with acetate. Flip the page over and use Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. around the back of the window. Adhere your acetate and then adhere the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. around the back of the window (on top of the acetate). Fill with your sequin mixes and to close the shaker, I cover it with vellum.
This layout was such a fun layout to create. It was great to get out my stash of sequins and items from my stash along with the Vicki Boutin Storyteller collection. The circle design gave me plenty of opportunities to mix patterns, while the five shaker elements added something extra special.
I hope this project inspires you to look through your own supply stash and experiment with unexpected designs. Try creating a circle background, mixing your favorite patterned papers, or adding a few shaker elements to your next 12×12 scrapbook layout!
Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️ Kristin Rizzo
It’s back to school season here. Although my kids are OLD (me too – lol!), I wanted to create this School Days Shaker Layout featuring one of our newest product, 3D Foam Strips 3mm White. It is our highest height of foam at 3mm or just under 1/8”. Taking advantage of the height, I used thicker buttons as part of the shaker mix. What do you think?
School Days Shaker Frame
Start by fussy cutting the rows of pencils and cut slits in between each pencil to make it curve. Using a couple of pencil rows, I framed the 6” white cardstock circle with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. To make the frame fuller, I added another layer but this time, I used the 3D Foam Strips 3mm White to give it interest and dimension.
Shaker Base
Looking at the shaker frame, I thought it was boring, so I cut a circle out of patterned paper and made a wall around the circle with the 3D Foam Strips 3mm White. Also, I tested the height of various buttons to make sure they didn’t go over the foam well. #Passed
Using my fingers or tweezers, I pulled a star from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to foil both sides of the star and powdered it to alleviate any stickiness. Then placed it to the shaker well. Repeat the steps until you get your desired amount.
Lastly, I applied three stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the shaker surface. Use pieces of foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the color to the stars. A couple of buttons were secured with the Adhesive Dots Micro on the surface too. So, when the layout is upright, not all the shaker pieces will fall to the bottom.
Remove the top liner of the foam strips from the base and add a 6.25” acetate circle press to secure. Add more pencil rows to cover the gap between the frame and shaker base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.
Make the School Days Shaker Layout
Trim the used patterned paper from the shaker feature to 11” square and mat with a 12 x 12” coordinating patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Then attached the shaker feature using the same adhesive.
Die-cut “SCHOOL” in teal cardstock (to match the school door) and used 1” circle punch to cut out the super cute alpha from the patterned paper used for the photo mat, I put together the page title “SCHOOL DAYS.”
I hope you enjoyed the School Days Shaker Layout tutorial. Give the new 3D Foam Strips 3mm White and add those bulky bits into your next shaker creation!

Judy here today with a Funky Flower Birthday Greetings card. I ventured a bit out my comfort zone with this combination of bold colors and I really like it! The flower can also be made with double sided pattern paper especially one with a solid color back. All the directions are below to make the flower and assemble the card.
Flower Card Layers
Cut 7 x 10 inch white cardstock, score and fold to create a 5 x 7 inch side fold card. Also from white cardstock, cut 3.75 x 5.25 inch rectangle and .875 x 3.75 strip. Place 3.75 x 5.25 inch rectangle in Burlap embossing folder and emboss using die cutting and embossing machine.
Cut the following rectangles:
Pink cardstock – cut 4.625 x 6.125 inches
Aqua cardstock – 4.375 x 6.875 inches
Green Plaid – 4.25 x 575 inches and .875 x 3.75 inches.
Assemble Card Base
Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to aqua cardstock and fasten on pink cardstock. Then fasten green plaid paper on top of that again using adhesive from E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Fasten to card front with same adhesive. Next apply adhesive to back of embossed panel and fasten over green plaid on card. Set aside.
Make a small vertical pencil mark anywhere along edge of pink circle on texture side of paper. Then make pencil marks about 1.25 inches apart at opposite edge of circle equal distance from first pencel mark. See photo for illustration. The amount of the circle that folds is about .375 at widest area. Score slightly away from first pencil mark to each of other pencil marks. Fold along score marks so texture side of paper will be on top. Repeat for all circles to create 6 petals.
Cut lime green circles in quarters. Keep 6 pieces for flower. Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of a quarter lime circle and fasten on petal between folded edges and about .125 inches from edge of pink petal. Repeat for all 6 petals.
Apply generous adhesive to points of each petal and fasten to turquoise/aqua circles with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Place petals lightly until all are arranged to allow them to be adjusted if needed and then press firmly in place.
Place one Adhesive Dots 3D in center of flower and press firmly so that Adhesive Dots 3D is somewhat flattened and pressed well between petals. Peel off liner and fasten aqua/lime center on flower.
Fasten Flower on Card
Apply generous adhesive to back of flower and postion on card front towards top of embossed panel.
Greeting
Stamp greeting with black ink on white strip. Fasten to green plaid matt using adhesive from E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then apply generous adhesive to back and fasten below flower on card. (Designer Tip: Generous adhesive is recommended when fastening items to embossed paper)
Foil Center
Peel large circle from 3D Foam Circles White Mix and press sticky side to back of green foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to cover with foil. Place foil covered 3D Foam Circle in Burlap embossing folder and pass through die cutting and embossing folder to add texture. Reapply foil. Peel off liner and fasten on flower center.
