Hi, Judy here today! Where I live the leaves will soon turn colors. With that thought, I put together an Autumn Card featuring a cut out stamped leaf that’s fastened and popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Subtle stamped images of the same leaf create the background and a stamped title completes the card.
Card Parts
Cut white card stock 8.5 x 5.75 inches and fold to form a 4.25 x 5.75-inch card. From Saw Grass cardstock, cut a piece to 3.75 x 5.25 inches, and from dark brown cardstock cut a piece of 3.875 x 5.375 inches.
Stamp leaf with Distress Archival Ground Espresso ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Color Leaf
Use a foam applicator tool to apply Distress inks (Broken China, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, and Twisted Citron) over the leaf extending beyond the edges of the leaf image. Rub over the leaf with a paper towel to remove excess ink. Fussy cut around the leaf allowing a slight border.
Background
Use leaf stamp and Distress Antique Linen ink to stamp the background on Saw Grass paper.
Stamp Verse
Temporarily position the leaf on the background to determine the placement of the verse and then stamp “Autumn” with Onyx Black ink. Ink verse with Onyx Black ink, stamp off once on scrap paper, and then stamp below “Autumn”.
Card Assembly
Adhere the background to a dark brown piece using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Then apply adhesive to the back with the same adhesive and secure to the card front.
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a sweet You’re Pawsome Shaker Card to share. Create a super cute card in a matter of minutes. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
Doodlebug Designs has some of the sweetest collections and coordinating embellishments. With these and our adhesives, I created this sweet You’re Pawsome Shaker Card in about 15 minutes. Let’s first cut the patterned paper and cardstock layers for the card. The card base is a white cardstock. The yellow patterned paper is 4 x 5.25 inches; the blue patterned paper is 3.5 x 4.75, and the white cardstock mat is 3.75 x 5.
Hi, everyone! Like making cards with a vintage feel? Teri here to show you a fun vintage-inspired Halloween card!
Create the Card Base, Add Foil Strips and Sentiment
Start by blending some ink onto a card base through a stencil. Stamp several Halloween images in black ink on top.
Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Set the sentiment strip on your card to use it as a guide for placing some strips of Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in on it.
Trim the excess tape and put any leftover scraps on the back of your sentiment strip. Set the strip aside.
Apply Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet Nature Colors onto the strips of tape on your card. Be sure to really burnish firmly onto the tape so that the tape strips are completely covered.
Place some Creative Photo Corners White onto your foil strips for decoration. Line them up, overlapping them slightly as you go. Set your card aside.
Take a piece of thread and randomly place it on the back of your sentiment strip. Cover the strip with 3D Foam Strips Black and place it on your card. Remove the excess.
Embellish the Card with Foil Dots and Add Some Old Paper to It
Set some Adhesive Dots Micro on your card. Cover them with foil. You want to make sure you really push the foil hard onto the dots as you burnish it down.
Take some pages from an old book. Cut them to fit on your card. Roll adhesive onto your card and not the pages. Affix the pages on your card and cut away any excess paper.
Complete your card by rounding the corners and sponging on some additional ink along the edges. You can apply a little bit of ink or a lot!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make a vintage-style Halloween card of your own!
Hi everyone! Yvonne here with a classic Framed Botanical Card. By using 3D foam products you can easily add a luxurious dimension to your card. 3D Foam Squares Micro White is a great adhesive for adhering tiny and details items.
Furthermore, the Framed Botanical Card is all about some simple layering. I would love to share how I made my card. Wanna join me?
Top Card Panel
Start by die-cutting a frame from white cardstock. Then adhere the frame onto a grey cardpanel using 3D Foam Strips.
This will uplift the frame on the Framed Botanical Card. Next die-cut and emboss a panel that will fit the frame. To color the die-cut, leave it in the metal cutting die and use an ink blending tool and some brown ink to color the centre part.
Then use a stamp and grey ink to add a woodgrain effect.
Start with fussy cutting the botanical image such as a white rose. I like to use scissors for the outline cutting and a craft knife for the detail cutting. Then apply 3D Foam Squares Micro White and 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size to the back of the image.
Now remove the liners and adhere the image to the frame. Voilá, your Framed Botanical Card is ready!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!
There is some prep work to get to the page ready to stamp, adhere the sentiments and add the stars using the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature. The thing about building a background for an art journal page you can’t mess it up. Add layers of ink, collage old papers or distress the page. I did all three!!!
Art Journal Page Prep
1. Add color to a blank art journal page using ink. I used Distress Oxide inks. 2. Speckle the page with water and then dab off leaving cool looking water spots. Stamp the focal images using the pigment ink. To speed up drying time use the heat tool to help dry the ink. 3. Use stencils to add background words. 4. Emboss the sentiment words, distress the paper and set aside.

Hi, Jamie here today! Pretty cards don’t have to take a lot of time, just pretty dies and papers. This Pinky Thanks Card design can be used for any occasion that a thank you card is needed. Just change the paper patterns and colors and you’re set!
Pinky Thanks Card Front
To make my card front, I die-cut the Candy Stripes die with white cardstock and used pink patterned cardstock as a panel.
Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to glue the white stripes on top of the pink patterned cardstock.
Adding Embellishments
Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to secure the white leaf die cut shape and the black twine.
Create the Sentiment
Using a Thanks die, cut it from black glitter paper and the shadow from white cardstock and glue the black glitter paper Thanks to the top of the white shadow using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Place 3D Foam Squares Micro Black to the back of the thank you. Be sure to place enough on the back so you don’t have any parts sagging.
Hi, Judy here today! I’ve put together a striking yet simple embossed panel card with a coordinating lined envelope. I used Creative Photo Corners White as an element of design on the card and lined the envelope with coordinating inked paper. It’s easy to do and adds a touch of elegance.
Create an Embossed Panel and Inked Liner
Cut a piece of white cardstock 4.25 x 5.5 inches and a piece of printer paper 4.5 x 5.25 inches. Use the Distress Peacock Feathers ink pad to rub ink directly onto the paper on both pieces. Allow to dry or use a heat tool.
Use an embossing folder and die-cutting machine to emboss the inked cardstock. Trim to 4.0 x 5.25 inches. (Designer Tip: When embossing cardstock, I cut it slightly larger than needed and trim after embossing to allow for shrinkage.) Carefully rub the Distress Oxide Uncharted Mariner ink pad over the embossed pattern. Dry with a heat tool.
Assemble the Card Panel
Form a 4.25 x 5.5-inch card from a 5.5 x 8.5-inch piece of white cardstock. Place Creative Photo Corners White on each corner aligned with the corners of the card.
Apply adhesive to the center area of the card front with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Carefully tuck the corners of the embossed panel into photo corners on the card and press in place.
Add the Verse
Stamp a verse on white cardstock with black ink and trim to 1.25 x 2.25 inches. Apply Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to the back of the verse, peel the liners off, and fasten on the card front.
Make the Envelope Liner
Slide and center the inked printer paper into an envelope so that it is below the glue line on the flap. Use a pencil to draw lines on inked paper to match the angle of the envelope flap. Holding the inked paper in place, fold the envelope flap to make a crease on the liner. Remove the liner and trim off the edges along the drawn lines. Refold if necessary to make nice crisp even fold.
Apply adhesive to the top flap portion of the envelope liner with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. With the liner folded down, slip it into the envelope and align it centered and the liner fold matching envelope fold. Fold the envelope flap over the liner and press to secure.
All finished! Now you have a beautiful matching Embossed Panel Card with a Lined Envelope set.
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have this fun little Celebrate Shaker Slimline Card to share. Create this statement card with a whole lot of pizazz in under an hour. Here are all of the details.
Create the Celebrate Shaker Card Front
Firstly, I cut the slimline card base, and the die cut pieces from white and black cardstock. I also cut a piece of acetate to fit behind the die cut frame.
Secondly, using Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8in I adhered the acetate to the white cardstock die cut frame. This created the top of the Shaker Front for the Slimline Card.
The “Celebrate” black cardstock die cut piece gets added to the shaker top using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
To create the pocket for the shaker bits I used 3D Foam Strips around the entire perimeter of the back of the Shaker Front Slimline Card.
Fill the shaker front slimline card with whatever sparkly bits you like. I took the opportunity to use some of the largest sequins I had to really fill up the space.
Once filled, remove the 3D Foam Strips backing, and place the white cardstock card base onto the shaker front. Make sure the 3D Foam Strips are sealed completely to ensure no sequins can spill out.
Hello, friends! Jennifer Ingle here with you today and this is my final post as guest designer! I am so sad, but also so VERY happy to have been here with you for the last couple of months. I have absolutely loved designing with these amazing products! Today I have an adorable card, Hello There Kitty Card, to share with you using some super fun products!
To create this design, I stuffed some super cute Doodlebug Design Inc. Doodle Pops inside the envelopes, allowing that cute kitty to peek out over the top. Because I was leaving them open, I gently removed the adhesive that allows you to seal the Keepsake Envelopes (but that is so perfect if you use them for scrapbooking!)
Create the background by adhering the stripes to a panel with the Adhesives Sheets 4 x 6in. to get full coverage. For a subtle lift, I added the sentiment using the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. It was perfect as secured even on a bit of a bumpy surface.
This was a super fun card to create and I hope you check out the Keepsake Envelopes for both card making and scrapbooking! They really are so fantastic!

Did you know we have a kit that contains pre-cut holiday-themed foam shapes and a combination of colored foils? Hi, Margie here today and I like to showcase the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foils. Inspired by the items in the kit, I’ve created a three-piece ensemble, Sparkle & Plaid JOY Ensemble.
ETA (8/28/23): Giveaway Closed. We have a Winner!! Congratulations to Eva W. from Louisiana!! Thanks to all who entered and left such lovely comments. ❤
We have a Partner’s Celebration Giveaway with Scrapbook & Card Today going on until Sunday, August 27th, 2023 at 10 PM Eastern Time. Scroll all the way to the end for details and a link! 👇👇👇
Sparkle & Plaid Scrapbook Page
Cut the Following:
10-inch square from cream cardstock
9 5/8-inch square from plaid patterned paper
7-inch ring from cream cardstock
3.5 x 5.25-inch rectangle from navy cardstock
4 x 2-inch rectangle from cream cardstock
5.5 x 2 3/8-inch rectangle from navy cardstock
The Scrapbook Layout Base
Place an Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable in the center (back side) of the 9 5/8-inch square plaid patterned paper and mat it on top of the 10-inch square cream cardstock.
Designer’s Tip: If you are like me, I do not always center correctly the first time! LOL! This adhesive dot is forgiving!!! Simply pull off the cream mat and try again.
With a circle cutter, cut a 7-inch ring from cream cardstock and center it to the page with Adhesive Lines. Mat the 3.5 x 5.25-inch rectangle from navy cardstock with the photo with the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser. Place it on the lower left side of the cream 7-inch ring with the Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. (leave space on the sides to tuck in the embellishments).
Stamp JOY in black ink on the 4 x 2-inch rectangle from cream cardstock and cut a fishtail on the right end. Adhere it to the 5.5 x 2 3/8-inch rectangle from navy cardstock. Leave enough room on the right end to cut a fishtail.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foils
Pick out your desired shapes and foil colors from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foils and place them on the layout. One by one, lift the top liner and apply the foil (color side up) over the exposed adhesive. Rub gently with fingertips to transfer the color to the shape. Peel off the foil. If there are missed areas, simply reapply the foil. Please view the video below, I started where the crafter started foiling her shape…
Let’s start the second piece of the Sparkle & Plaid JOY Ensemble. Fold in half a piece of 4 x 12-inch navy cardstock to make a top-fold card base. Cut and emboss a 3.75 x 5.75-inch cream cardstock panel. Hand tear a piece of 3.75 x 5.5-inch vellum to form three slopes and secure to the bottom half of the panel with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner).
Sparkle & Plaid Snowflake Box
On a piece of 6 x 11-inch navy cardstock, score with the 6-inch side up at 1 and 5 inches. Flip to the 11-inch side to score at 1, 5, 6, and 10 inches. On the same side, cut the scored lines up into intersecting lines to create tabs. Here’s an image from a past project to give you an idea.
Decorate the Box Top
Let’s decorate the top with a 4-inch square patterned paper, center the largest 3D Foam Snowflake, and foil it with the blue foil (both from the 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit with Foils). Next, layer a 3D Foam Star in the center of the snowflake and apply silver foil on the star (again, from the same kit). Frame the layered snowflake with the second largest 3D Foam Circle Frames White and foil it with silver.
Secure the layered box front with E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser on the box. Next, with the same adhesive, adhere the outer tabs inside the box to form your hinged box to finish.
I hope you enjoyed all three pieces of this Sparkle & Plaid JOY Ensemble. Change out the theme by choosing several pre-cut foam shapes from our 3D Foam Designer Shapes offerings.
