Lucky Camp Layout Back Story

Do you have a pack of 3D Foam Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L? There are 15 different themed pre-cut shapes. I happened to have the 3D Foam Party Shapes pack to make Sparkly Birthday Party Cards! Hi, Margie here and let me show you how I created them – get the kids involved!
Create Birthday Party Card Front
Cut a piece of 4 x 6 in. patterned paper diagonally with each opposite corner at the 0.50 in. mark of the paper trimmer.
Add a strip of Crafty Power Tape on the diagonal edge. Use the bone folder to burnish the tape. Next, apply the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser on the back and place on a white A2 size card base. (Note: I changed my mind and used the B-side of the paper…love two-sided papers!). Set aside.
Embellish the Focal Point
After die-cutting a decorative edge oval out of white cardstock, I designed my focal point using the various shapes from the 3D Foam Party Shapes pack. Designer’s Note: I used a leftover liner to help with placement and to line up the Happy Birthday sentiment.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets
Cut a small piece of all the colors from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Remove a top liner from one of the shapes and place the foil on top (color side facing you). Gently rub the foil to transfer the color. Peel off the foil to reveal shiny colored accents! Lastly, I drew balloon strings and dotted accents to one of the oval designs. Repeat the foiling steps to the diagonal border before assembling the card.
Assemble the Birthday Party Card
Apply 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back of the oval and center on your card front. Now it’s ready to be sent out!
I hope you enjoyed this Sparkly Birthday Party Cards tutorial. Grab a pack of 3D Foam Shapes and create with your kids!

Hi, Judy here today! Lately, the frigid cold in my area has made me wish for spring and pretty flowers. So it inspired me to put together this Floral Hello Friend Card. It has great details from the tiny envelope to the sweet flowers that were fussy cut which I find that kind of meditative! LOL!
Floral Hello Card Base and Panel
Cut a piece of textured cream cardstock to 10 x 6.5 inches, score, and fold to form a 5 x 6.5-inch card base. Next, cut a piece of 4.125 x 5.25-inch white cardstock for the card panel.
Plaid Background
Die-cut the outline rectangle die from a layered plaid die set using black cardstock. Set aside.
Apply an Adhesive Sheet 4 x 6in. to the back of a 4.25 x 5.5-inch smooth cream cardstock and trim any excess adhesive sheet from the length. Die-cut it with the plaid die. Make several passes through the machine and remove cut-out pieces. Peel the liner back and press it into the black cardstock rectangle piece.
Designer Tip: I sometimes use a heat gun to warm the adhesive after die-cutting to make it more sticky after being compressed.
Die-cut a small envelope from text-weight cream paper and a card insert from white cardstock. Fold and assemble the envelope with the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.
Stamp a verse with black ink on the card insert near the top left corner. Apply Distress Antique Linen with an applicator to lightly color along the edges of the envelope and insert. Trim a narrow piece off the bottom left corner of the insert for an angled placement in the envelope. Next, apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser across the bottom back edge of the insert and tuck it into the envelope at a slight angle.
Embellishment Details on the Floral Hello Card
Stamp three flowers and extra leaves using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Color with watercolors (or markers) and fussy cut around each one. On a piece of black cardstock, stamp the “Hello Friend” greeting with Versamark ink, cover it with white embossing powder, remove excess, and heat to emboss. Trim around the greeting to 0.25 x 1.75 inches.
Shape flowers with fingers to be slightly domed. Fasten 3D Foam Squares Black Regular to the back of flowers and leaves. Cut 3D Foam Squares Black Regular as needed to fit behind the leaves. Arrange on the card, peel liners, and attach the flowers. Then peel liners from extra leaves and tuck them in place.
Place 3D Foam Squares Black Regular on the back of the greeting, peel liners and place it on the card over the flower stems.
I hope you enjoyed my Floral Hello Friend Card tutorial. Use some of these ideas and tips for your next card creation!
Hi, Jingle here today. I am excited to share a fun Out of This World Scrapbook Layout with you! This layout came together super quickly thanks to the combination of a great collection kit from PhotoPlay Paper and the perfect adhesives to really make it POP!
Out of this World Background
The background starts with a simple grey cardstock with a layer of star-patterned paper, leaving just a bit of a border. Secured them with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. which will give a strong hold for the other layers. Cut three strips of other patterned papers with one end cut at an angle on each, and place with the ever trusty E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.
Adding Elements
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE stickers! They are one of my favorite things to add because they can be super cute and super versatile. For this layout, I dusted the back of each sticker with some cornstarch so I could get more dimension using my favorite foam adhesives. A combination of the 3D Foam Squares White Mix, the 3D Foam Strips Large White, and the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft were used. Based on the piece and how much dimension I wanted it to have, it is such a simple way to add some pizazz! To ground the photos to the layout, I added Kraft photo corners from the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack. This gives such a great look!
These papers were a perfect fit for the photos. I just love how the colors coordinated so well with them. But most of all, I love that I can create a really adorable Out of This World Layout in very little time with these great tools! I hope you give it a try!
Hi friends! Want to send a little cheer in the mail? Teri here to show you how to put together an adorable Sending Hugs Fox Card—snail mail-style—for your bestie!
Make the Sending Hugs Fox Card Base and Frame
Cut a rectangle out of a panel of white cardstock. Set aside the rectangle shape for another project and keep the frame. Cover the card base with strips of patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Take the frame and randomly place 3D Foam Circles onto it. Cut some of the circles in half before adding them to your frame. Apply flock onto your circles. Mount the frame to your card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.
Sentiment and Cute Images
Stamp the sentiment onto the card towards the bottom inside of the frame. Stamp and die-cut some cute images to make a scene. Then color them in with markers or colored pencils. Rub a little black ink onto your card to ground the images. Adhere the images onto your card with the 3D Foam Circles. Designer’s Note: Cut up the leftover sheets and use up the pieces to mount your images on your card. This will make them pop and also use up some of your leftover foam adhesive…win-win!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside and 3D Foam Hearts
Apply small hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts onto your card front. After taking off the top line, add the Platinum foil color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets onto them. Rub the foil (color side facing you) into the hearts to transfer the color. Peel off to reveal the sparkle! And if you missed a spot, don’t fret, just reapply the foil to the shape.
Don’t have the stamps I used? No worries! Pick something from your stash that is just as cute! Don’t have the foam shapes I used? Change it up with other 3D Foam Shapes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to create some cute cards of your own like my Sending Hugs Fox Card.
Cut and gather your other background pieces. I used a large coordinating folder as a guide and cut the different pieces accordingly. Adhere all these pieces to the background using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Add the previously matted photo to the layout using 2 layers of Crafty Foam Tape Black. This adds so much added dimension to the lovely layered layout.
The final touch is to add a few more small embellishments to the lovely layered layout. This included stickers, buttons, and die cuts.
Give me a call! It’s Ali here today and I am excited to share a Valentine’s layout featuring those adorable conversation hearts, brought to life with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft! See how I created this Conversation Hearts Layout!
Conversation Hearts Back Story
Last year, a friend and I celebrated Galentine’s Day in Chicago at JoJo’s Shake Bar. They had an adorable conversation heart backdrop where we snapped some great photos! This was my inspiration for this page.
Conversation Hearts Cut File Details
For this layout, I used a free cut file from Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine, which allowed me to transform all the hearts into conversation hearts that perfectly matched our pictures. I backed the hearts with Echo Park papers using my trusty Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Embellish the Layout
Once I secured the cut file to my background, I began decorating the hearts with Doodlebug Design puffy letter stickers. I even added a Doodle Pop phone sticker so you can call me to chat about the adhesives I use! To finish, I sprinkled some extra hearts and included a flair from Scrappin Happy Studio using my favorite 3D Foam Squares White Mix to make my embellishments pop off the page.
Xoxo, Ali

Hi, Lara here today! Being born in Hawaii, you really don’t get to experience snow at all. We moved to Colorado just before I turned 3. The only memory I have of it was that I loved to eat snow and it wasn’t like sand. I haven’t done any scrapbook pages for a long time so I decided to share this First Snow Scrapbook Page of my childhood. This is a fairly simple page but I love how it came together.
First Snow Page Design
To create this First Snow page, I started with a 12 x 12″ Kraft cardstock. Next, layer it with a strip of patterned paper on the left side. In my stash, I had a label-shaped paper that was cut a little over half and secured it down with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Photo Placement
Since I had about six photos at hand, I thought a photo gird design would be the best to showcase them. So I cut the photos down to a 2 x 2″ size except for the main photo. It is a little larger and slightly tilted for interest. The 2 x 2″ pictures were adhered with the E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser.I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to pop up the main photo.
First Snowflakes
Create the title with plain chipboard letters. To match the theme of the page, I painted them and covered them with glitter while the paint was wet. Set aside to dry. To create the foiled snowflakes, I cut out a snowflake with paper and traced it on the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White. Then I cut them out and add to the page and used the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors to create custom snowflakes using the Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside method.
Finishing Touches
Using a black pen, I drew some lines and added journaling. Lastly, I added the blue gem border that I have hoarded for a very long time.
Adhesives Used
Have you documented your snow days? I hope the process of my page inspires you!
Hi, Judy here today! I created a Unique Birthday Fabric Card to share with you. Its background consists of fabric adhered to cardstock, embossed, and inked. Wish I could capture the feel of it in a photograph. Something different to try in your next card creation.
Fabric Birthday Card Parts
Card: From a piece of 9 x 6.25 in. Birch cardstock, score + fold it to form a 4.5 x 6.25-in. card base.
Mat: Cut a piece of 4.25 x 6 in. Birch cardstock.
Sentiment: Cut 2 different rectangle sizes from Birch cardstock at 2.25 x 3.125 in. and 2.5 x 3.375 in.
Embossed Background: Cut 4 x 6 in. Birch cardstock and cut 4.25 x 6 in. fabric.
Ink the Mats
Use a foam applicator to apply Distress Scorched Timber around the edges of the 4.25 x 6 inches mat and the larger sentiment mat (2.5 x 3.375 inches). The above photo shows the pieces with inked edges.
Fabric Birthday Background
Peel the liner strip from the edge of Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in., align it with the edges of 4 x 6 inches cardstock, press the edge in place, and then continue to peel the liner and press the Adhesive Sheet to cardstock. Rub well with a bone folder.
Peel the liner and press the adhesive side onto the fabric. Press and smooth fabric in place. If fabric extends far beyond the cardstock, trim fabric near the edge of the cardstock but not necessary to trim exactly to the cardstock.
Emboss Fabric
Rub Distress Ink Scorched Timber direct to the smooth side of the embossing folder. Carefully align fabric-covered cardstock on the opposite side of the embossing folder with the fabric side up and close the folder. Pass the embossing folder through the die-cutting machine to emboss. The photo shows the fabric in the folder after being embossed.
Apply Ink to Fabric
Keep the embossed fabric piece in place in the embossing folder for support when applying ink. Use a foam applicator to apply Distress Ink Iced Spruce over the fabric. Continue until the ink is evenly spread over the fabric.
Then gently rub the Distress Ink Iced Spruce ink pad directly to the fabric to apply more ink to raised numbers. Repeat with Distress Ink Faded Jeans to add more color to the numbers. Spray with a very fine mist of water.
The Card Front
Trim all edges of the embossed fabric piece so it measures 3.875 x 5.75 inches. Apply adhesive to the back of the embossed fabric piece with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and fasten to the mat with inked edges. Wrap cream color twine around the matted piece 3 times and tie a knot at the right edge. Use the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back and fasten it to the card front.
The Sentiment
Stamp the sentiment on the 2.25 x 3.125 in. birch cardstock with Distress Ink Scorched Timber and quickly cover with Distress Glaze Scorched Timber. Remove excess glaze and then heat with a heat gun. Then lightly edge with Distress Ink Iced Spruce. Adhere it with the inked 2.5 x 3.375 in. mat using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Place 3D Foam Squares White Regular on the matted sentiment and place it on the card front.
I hope you enjoyed my Unique Birthday Fabric Card tutorial. Give it a try on your next card creation!
