Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Foiled and Glittered Card. This Small Things with Great Love Glittered Card is all about making your adhesive shine…. Yes, using the technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.
I would love to share how I made it. Will you join me?
Checkered Small Things Card Panel
To embellish the top card panel, remove the liners of a sheet of regular size squares from the 3D Foam Squares Black Mix to create a checkered design as shown below. Carefully turn the sheet around and adhere onto a piece of black cardstock. Designer’s Note: Rub the sheet into the panel to secure. Next, carefully remove the sheet of 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.
The squares without the liners will stick to the black cardstock (checkered design). Cover with blue glitter, rub to secure, and tap off the excess. Trim the card panel to size. This easy technique making your adhesive shine is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside.
Foiled the Hearts
Create the heart pattern as shown in picture with the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: For precise placement of the hearts, use a pair of tweezers.
Other: White, Black, and Petrol Blue Cardstock; Sentiment Sticker (Tim Holtz®: idea-ology®: Metallic Stickers: Quotations); Blue Glitter Blue; Paper Trimmer; Scissors
Hey everybody – I hope you’ve had a great week… it’s Friday! Are you a fan of pretty purses? I sure am, especially those made of paper! Leslie here with you today, sharing a Chandler Purse with Notelets tucked inside. The Chandler purse is actually one of my favorites to make and it’s always fun to add something extra! Notelets, small note pad, jewelry, candy, or whatever you’d like! I used lots of pretty paper and cardstock in my stash along with a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to bring this project to life.
Cut the Pieces
I knew it would be difficult to see score lines on black cardstock. So, for demonstration purposes, I constructed a purse from white cardstock as you’ll see in the following photos. Score lines for the base and side panels have been marked with a black pen.
PURSE BASE: Cut one at 5” x 9” and score at 1”, 4”, 5” and 8” with the 9″ edge across the top. Miter the corners of the 1” sections.
SIDE PANELS: Cut two at 2” x 4” and score at 1/2”, 1” and 1-1/2” with the 2″ edge across the top. Rotate 90 degrees and score at 1/2” and 3-1/2” with the 4″ edge across the top. Miter the corners of the 1/2” sections on both ends. Do this for both side panels.
HANDLES: Cut two at 1/2” x 11” and use a bone folder to gently curve them.
CLOSURE: Cut one at 1” x 4” and use a bone folder to gently curve the strip.
Assemble the Base
Firstly, fold on the score lines on the base (all valley folds). Adhere the 1″ flaps to the inside with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. This will create a U-shape.
Secondly, fold on the score lines on the side panels (valley-mountain-valley) in an accordion fashion. Then adhere the upper and lower flaps to the inside of the side panel with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Do this for both side panels.
Thirdly, stand the base up with the bottom of the U on your craft surface. Now adhere one side panel to each side of the purse base with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Make sure the 1/2″ flaps are on the inside.
Add Patterned Paper
Additionally, add your decorative patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser: — 2-7/8” x 4-7/8” panels for the front and back of the purse base — 3/8” x 10-7/8” strips to the handles (cut two) — 7/8” x 3-7/8” panel for the closure strip
Adhere Handles & Closure Strip
We’re nearing the end of construction, so adhere both ends of one handle to the front of the base. Use the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to do this. Likewise, adhere both ends of the other handle to the back of the base. This will ensure that the handles can be separated to tuck the notelets inside.
Last step is to adhere one end of the closure strip to the back of the purse with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Attach the other end to the front of the base with Velcro circles or a magnet. Small clear clips are shown in the photo below temporarily holding the Velcro circles in place.
Finished Chandler Purse with Notelets
My finished Chandler purse features two embellishments made with the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Embellishment #1 is the diagonal one in the lower right corner. It features yellow, blue, green and pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors and 3D Foam Strips.
Embellishment #2 is the ‘button’ on the closure. Similarly, it uses blue glitter from my stash and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Such an easy technique! Just remove the liner from the strips and press the foil (color side up) onto the adhesive. Same for the glitter… remove the liner, press the glitter onto the adhesive to secure, and tap off the excess. I also used small black brads on the handles and closure strip.
Let’s Make Some Notelets & Envelopes
Fashion a set of six 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ notelets from black cardstock to tuck inside the purse. Affix colorful patterned paper and a die cut to the front of each one. Stamp a simple sentiment on the front and add a white panel inside each one.
Since the notelets are an odd size, I designed a pocket envelope for them. Great choice for this is 65# copy paper, cut at 5-3/4″ x 6″. Score at 1-3/4″ and 4-1/2″ with the 5-3/4″ edge across the top. Rotate 90 degrees and score again at 5/8″ and 5-3/8″ with the 6″ edge across the top.
Miter the two wide flaps and fold the (shorter) left one over the right, and glue with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Round the corners of the upper and lower flaps and adhere the bottom flap with Dual Tip Glue Pen. I typically place a strip of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. on the top flap, leaving the liner in place. This is so the person using the cards can seal the envelopes.
That’s it for me today. Thanks for visiting! Leslie

This Sparkly Birthday Wishes Card features stars covered with sparkly silver foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors and circles from 3D Foam Circles Black Mix covered with red and blue foils. Embossed stars on panel and card front add texture interest. It’s a fun sparkly card!
Prepare Sparkly Birthday Wishes Layers
For the card base, cut white cardstock to 5.5 x 8.5 inches, score and fold to form 4.25 x 5.5 inch side fold card. We need card panels in 3 x 4.875 inch black cardstock rectangle and 3.125 x 5 inch red cardstock (for mat).
Emboss the Card Base Front
Use embossing folder and die cutting machine to emboss front of card with stars. Set aside
Next use E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser to add stars between and around circles (Designer Tip: I used my fingers to rotate applicator dial so a star was at end. That way I could just press it in place.)
Apply Foil
Take silver foil sheet from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, press on each star with the color side facing you. Peel off to reveal the color. Reapply the foil in missed areas.
Repeat the foiling steps with large 3D Foam Circles and blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors onto each one. Also, to the small 3D Foam Circles with the red foil.
Emboss Stars Panel
Place the embellished panel in the Shimmering Starfall embossing folder so that back of panel is on raised star side of embossing folder. Pass through machine to emboss. Reapply foil to any areas that feel sticky on large and small dots.
Stamp Birthday Wishes on black cardstock with Versamark ink. Then cover it with silver embossing powder, tap off excess and melt with a heating tool. Use coordinating die to cut out each word.
Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here and today I have a Priceless Memories Layered Layout to share. This tutorial will share how I create my multi layered layouts in just a few steps. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
First I created a simple layered background by choosing 2 patterned papers, and cutting one down to 11×11. Distress 2 edges of the 11×11 patterned paper and adhere them together using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Mat the 4×6 photo in white cardstock, and also distress those edges. Adhere the photo to the mat using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser again.
I chose a few larger ephemera pieces for the background of my lovely layered layout. The 2 bottom pieces are adhered straight to the background using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Helpful Hint
A little tip is to not add adhesive too close to the edges of pieces like this. This allows the edges to raise ever so slightly for a bit more dimension. Then you will add the large frames to the background using 3D Foam Strips.
Next step is to add the matted photo to the middle of the layout. I used 2 layers of 3D Foam Squares White Mix to raise the photo above the frames just slightly. Also add the sentiment tag using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
Now is the time to start adding the smaller ephemera pieces around the matted photo. For this I used a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. This will again add dimension between all of the layers of this lovely layered layout.
My final step is almost always to add the very dimensional flowers. Have an idea of where you would like them, but them add them in at the end. For adding anything more textured like these flowers I use Adhesive Dots 3D. This are thick and smooshy, perfect for adhering to oddly shaped items like flowers and stems. Also add a burlap string bow to the sentiment tag.
Hi, friends! Thank You cards are always appreciated, and Teri here to show you how to make a fun Thank You card that’s perfect to send out in the Fall.
Make the Card Front Design
Cut several squares of cardstock and patterned paper – make sure they are fall-themed. On a patterned paper panel, line up the squares and adhered them with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots. Trim off the excess. Place several 3D Foam Squares and 3D Foam Micro Squares onto the squares.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Squares and Strips
Pull out a pack of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Nature Colors and apply foil to the squares. I find it’s helpful to apply it to only a few squares at a time. Remember to place the foil onto the squares with the pretty side up. Consider turning the paper as you go for easier application.
Add a strip of 3D Foam Strips Large to the bottom of your square design. If your strips aren’t long enough, no worries! Just add more strips. Trim the excess. Repeat the foiling steps as I did with the squares.
Add the Finishing Touches
Add some Fall-themed stickers (or ones that fit your color scheme) to the open spaces on your squares. Pop one of the stickers up with 3D Foam. Set the sticker on a pant leg (or your shirt) to make it less sticky. Apply a few pieces of the 3D Foam Strips Large onto it and adhere it to your card.
Stamp a sentiment strip (or use a sticker) to add a sentiment to your card. Place it on top of one of your stickers or put it elsewhere on the card.
Finish your card by adding some jute to it. I snipped a little notch right under the 3D Foam Strips to anchor the jute when I tied it around the card. Use Adhesive Dots to keep the bow in place.
That’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make a Fall-themed Thank You card of your own!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a fun and easy to make Summertime Fun Card. Since it’s summer themed, I used bright and happy colors – the background is made with scraps of paper. Isn’t that fun?! The card is very easy to create, making it suitable for beginner card makers. Let’s get started!
Top Card Panel
First trim a piece of lilac cardstock into a rectangular card panel. This is the base background of the top card panel for the Summertime Fun Card. Then bright colored paper scraps to strips of about ¼ inch wide.
Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m having so much fun creating summer-themed scrapbook layouts! This one, Grill Master Layout, features my favorite grill master—my dad. When I saw this adorable cut file, I knew it would be perfect for documenting his annual summer cookouts. Every cut file deserves a little extra dimension, so I reached for my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft to give this page plenty of pop!
Grill Master Layout Back Story
My dad’s grilling season officially kicks off on Memorial Day weekend (which also happens to be my birthday weekend!) and continues through Labor Day. Throughout the summer, he’s always firing up the grill with steaks, burgers, brats, chicken, and his famous baby back ribs. Family cookouts are some of my favorite summer memories!
Creating Dimension with Cut File and Ephemera
To bring this page to life, I backed the cut file with papers from the Doodlebug Design Bar-B-Cute collection. I used three different patterned papers to create a bright, cheerful background that looks like the perfect picnic is about to begin. Then I added fun embellishments like watermelon slices, hearts, and, of course, a few ants! They could smell all that delicious food and didn’t want to miss the cookout either!
The grill was definitely my favorite part of this layout. I had so much fun adding the hamburger, hot dog, and chicken to the grill, and I couldn’t resist hanging a couple of grilling utensils on the side—just like my dad’s grill at home!
I’ve been waiting for the perfect combination of a cut file and collection to document my dad’s love of summer barbecuing, and this one couldn’t have been more perfect. I hope this layout inspires you to document your own favorite summer traditions before grilling season comes to an end.
Happy grilling, happy crafting, and thanks so much for stopping by!
Hello crafty friends, it’s Kristin here today. Are you looking for a fun and functional summer papercraft project? Today I’m sharing this adorable Magnetic Post It Note Holder featuring my favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and the bright and cheerful Doodlebug Design Summer Fun Collection. This easy DIY project is perfect for your office, craft room, or as a thoughtful handmade teacher or friend gift. Not onlydoes this project add a splash of summer to your workspace, but it also keeps your Post-it Notes within easy reach.
Whether you display it on your refrigerator, office cabinet, or craft room organizer, this magnetic holder is sure to brighten your day. Best of all, it comes together quickly using a few supplies and reliable adhesives.
Building the Decorative Focal Point
The adorable dolphin becomes the star of this project. I created the layered circle embellishment by die-cutting the polka dot blue patterned paper and layering the dolphin die cuts using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
For the circle, I used one of the 3D Foam Circle Frames White. You’ll adhere it to the scallop circle first. Then I peeled the backing off and used chunky glitter from scrapbook.com and added it the foam circle. I love how it looks like sparkling water.
Creating the Magnetic Base
Begin by covering the chipboard base with patterned papers from the Doodlebug Summer Fun Collection using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. This adhesive creates a strong bond while keeping everything smooth and flat. I then created a banner slightly smaller than the chipboard and layered that on top of my covered chipboard using, Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. In order to attach the large paperclip, I left about 1/2″ extra paper at the top of the banner and folded it over the top of the large paperclip. I adhered that extra 1/2″ to the back of the chipboard to secure the paperclip using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in.
After that, I added a strip of 3D Foam Strips Large White to the bottom of the chipboard. Like I did with the foam circle frame, I added fine glitter across it for some extra sparkle. I then layered my “Seas the Day” sentiment over the glitter using 3D Foam Squares White Regular to create a little more dimension.
Add the Finishing Details
Attach tropical leaves, flowers, fish, and additional die cuts using a combination of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. & 3D Foam Circles White Mix. Mixing flat and dimensional elements creates visual interest throughout the design. Secure the Post-it Note pad with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in, which will keep the pad firmly in place. Lastly, adhere a magnetic strip to the back of the chipboard using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2in so your project is ready to display on any magnetic surface.
Happy crafting & thank you for visiting! ✂️ Kristin Rizzo

Hi, Judy here today! I’ve been experimenting with embossing a pattern into 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small Black with an embossing folder. Then I apply foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors to raised portion of embossed pattern and cover with embossing powder to fill recessed areas. After much trial and error, I made this Find Joy Embossed Panel Card. When heat melts the embossing powder, it changes the texture and color of the Metallic Transfer Foil. I really like the effect!
Cut Paper
Cut white cardstock 5.5 x 8.5 inches, score and fold to form 4.25 x 5.5 inch card. Also from white cardstock, cut piece 2.875 x 5 inches.
From black cardstock, cut piece 4.125 x 5.375 inches.
Place in embossing folder so that paper side (white) is on recessed part of embossing folder and shiny side is up and will be against raised pattern of folder. Pass through die cutting machine with sandwich firm enough to emboss but not too much pressure.
Fasten to Cardstock
Cut white backing even with one end of embossed 3D Foam. Carefully peel back end of paper backing that extends (white side), align opposite end with one end of white cardstock allowing a narrow reveal. Hold in place and press end with backing pulled back onto cardstock. Then lift end to completely remove backing and press firmly onto cardstock. White cardstock is sized to be slightly long as 3D Foam often gets longer after embossing. Trim white cardstock as needed for even white borders.
Apply Metallic Foil
Remove liner from embossed 3D Foam Creative Sheet and cover with blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. Lightly rub fingers flat over foil to attach to 3D Foam. Do not press foil into recessed areas. Lift foil away and repeat if there are raised areas without foil. Important: the foil should be only on top of embossed pattern, not in grooves.
Add Embossing Powder
Cover foiled 3D Foam piece with gold embossing powder and gently rub powder into grooves with fingers. Brush off excess embossing powder with fingers as it tends to cling to foil. Use heat tool to melt embossing powder moving tool constantly to avoid overheating the foam.
Metallic foil will react to heat and change color and texture. While still warm, press blue foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors on again to add touches of shiny foil to any sticky area.
Apply adhesive to back of embossed panel and fasten on card.
Stamp Verse
On piece of black cardstock, stamp verse with Versamark ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Use coordinating die and die cutting machine to cut out verse.
Hey everybody! How did it get to be Monday already?! AND the last Monday in July, no less! Have to ask this… do you make your own tags? Many people use store-bought tags on birthday (and other) gifts but I know a lot of crafters who make their own. Including me! Leslie here with you today sharing a Celebrate Birthday Jumbo Tag that can indeed be used on a gift or as a stand-alone tag/card! Can you tell I’ve been in birthday mode?! Dipped back into my cardstock, dies, birthday papers and die cut pieces in my stash. Plus I used quite a few Scrapbook Adhesives products. So let’s make a tag!
Build Tag Base
Firstly, use a large tag die to cut the white base from heavyweight cardstock. The die I used is about 3-3/4″ x 6-1/2″, cut from 165# white cardstock which is pretty robust.
Secondly, use the same die to cut layers from colored cardstock, patterned paper and and a short piece of gold foil. Tear both ends of the patterned paper and gold foil, and cut the gold foil piece in half since it’s only needed on the ends.
Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere a journaling card with notched corners to the background at an angle. Adhere embossed horizontal strips, the rosette, and small circles. These pieces will be outlined in more detail in the next section. Add several more die cut pieces using using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Finally, loop several colors of gingham ribbon through the tag hole and tie with white twine.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside!
As if you can’t tell, I LOVE the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique! You’ve seen above that I employed it several times on this giant birthday tag! Let’s recap: Started with 3D Foam Strips heat embossed with white embossing powder placed horizontally on the patterned paper. Did you know you can heat emboss these? Well, yes you can!
This technique was used a second time on the rosette with glitter. Before assembling the rosette, apply a strip of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. down the entire strip of cardstock out toward the scalloped edge. Remove the liner and sprinkle on some purple glitter. Press with your finger to secure and tap off the excess. Assemble the rosette as normal and adhere it to the tag with a Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
For a third time using this technique, let’s play with 3D Foam Circles White Mix and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors! As before, remove the liner on a large circle and press the yellow foil onto it with the color side toward you. This embellishes the center of the rosette beautifully! I used the same process with several small circles and yellow, green, blue and purple foil.
Full Ensemble Reveal
This project, along with the previous two projects posted, make up a three-piece ensemble with a birthday theme. Did you pick up on that with all the products used? Here’s a photo of the full ensemble! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how these were created!
