Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I am sharing a Simple Sympathy Card I created using just a few easy steps. Here are all of the crafty details.
Let’s Get Crafty!
Start this simple sympathy card by cutting the base layers for the card. Cut a white cardstock A2 card base. Next, cut a piece of 4 x 5.25-inch glitter cardstock, and another piece of white cardstock to 3.75 x 5-inch. Add Creative Photo Corners White to the corners of the white cardstock piece and adhere to the glitter cardstock layer using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Adhere both layers to the card base, using again the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock using black ink. Then die cut out the sentiment using a decorative die. Die cut the next larger decorative layer for the Simple Sympathy Card from glitter cardstock. Adhere the sentiment piece to the glitter cardstock using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Adhere the decorative pieces to the Simple Sympathy Card, card base using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. The final touch was to add some pearls around the decorative die cut pieces.
Hi, Liz here today! My next card in my Heartfelt series is a card that is all about Love. I like to send “Love” cards to my family and friends just to remind them how much I love them! This Love Doily Card is another simple card to make. Just paper, stickers, adhesives and a small doily. You can easily change out what I used with elements from your stash. Let’s get to the tutorial!
Gather Your Card Elements
On this card I am creating a layered base. You will need two panels to cover the base. One panel 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and a second panel 5 1/4″ x 4″. Then two panels to create the vertical band. One panel 3″ x 4″ and a second panel 2 3/4″ x 3 3/4.” Be sure to pay attention to the paper design and keep the pattern going in the direction you want it to when you cut out the panels. Then gather various sizes of doilies and stickers.
Create the Panel Layers
Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser layer the bottom base panel on the card base and then the second layer centered over the first layer. Create your vertical band by adhering and centering the smaller panel over the larger panel. Set this vertical panel aside.

Glittered Drip Card Panel
Die-cut a postage-shaped card panel from black cardstock. Hold it upright and apply the Dual Tip Glue Pen from the panel’s top. Let the glue run down to create the drip effect.
Next, cover the drip with sea blue glitter, and tap off the excess.
Once dried, mat the Glitter Drip card panel onto a piece of patterned paper using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Using the same runner, adhere onto a white card base.
Add the Embellishments
To anchor the embellishments, I used a beautiful frame. Using 3D Foam Strips Black, I lifted the frame on the card front. These strips are 1/8″ in width and are perfect for those narrow areas of an element.
The Dual Tip Glue Pen was used to adhere foam flowers and mulberry leaves inside the frame. Finally, I secured a sentiment banner with 3D Foam Strips Black.
Voilá, your Glitter Drip Birthday Card is ready. Wishing you happy crafting!
Hey Y’all, Lara here again with a great Travel Tag Trio set that was super easy to create! You can make these tags as simple or detailed as you want. Use up those scraps! Or any other odds and ends you might have around. Depending on your tags’ details, they can take 5-30 minutes each. They are also great for kids’ projects.
Travel Tag Backgrounds
All three tags are approximately 6.25 x 3.125″ but you can make your own by cutting out a tag shape or using a die-cut machine to create your own. The process for each tag started the same. Each was covered with patterned paper and secured with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Then I added a little coordinating extra 3/8″ wide strip on the top of the tag, punched a hole, and added gold foil hole reinforcers that I designed and cut out on my electronic cutting machine.
Travel Tag #1 – Lost and Found
This was probably the most detailed tag since I hand-lettered and used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with foil. On a piece of 2.5 x 5″grid paper, I hand-wrote the quote “The Best Way to be Lost and Found at the Same Time.” Then added another piece of striped paper across the bottom part of the grid paper. Designer’s Tip: Use this piece from the marketing strip on the bottom of the paper.
For the flowers, I used them from the 3D Foam Garden Shapes. After placing them on the tag, remove the top liner and place a piece of fine glitter gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors over the exposed adhesive. Make sure the color side is facing you. Gently rub the foil to transfer the color to the flowers. Add a little bling, tie on a piece of ribbon, and add a few stickers and you have a great gift tag or embellishment for a travel scrapbook page or mini book.
Travel Tag #2 – Go
Travel Tag #2 includes simple stamping and layering of a piece of white cardstock cut to 2.5 x 4.75″ with a few hand-drawn lines. Cut out a small banner from light blue cardstock and add a sticker. Cut out the globe from one of the label papers, and add some dimension with 3D Foam Squares White Small. Then place the letter stickers to spell Go. After adding a few stickers and some ribbon, it is done!
Travel Tag #3 – Weekend Vibes
Tag #3 is probably the most simple. Cut out the Weekend Vibes from a label paper and add to the tag with Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. Stamp on two gold foil chipboard labels, adhere to the tag, and trim off the excess. Add a gold star and some ribbon and you have a great little tag that takes about five minutes. I think it took me longer to decide what to put on the tags than to make them.
A Few More Views
I had never done the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique before with the 3D Foam Shapes and the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets. It was fun and I will incorporate that concept in future projects. So be on the lookout!
Hi, Shannon here today! I am bringing you this fun project, Hearts & Floral Gift Card Trio, featuring the “Adhesive On the Outside” Technique! I grabbed a bunch of scraps from the American Crafts “Poppy & Pear” and some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L products!
Gift Card Trio Base
For the base, cut three 7.5 x 3″ patterned paper pieces. Be sure that the patterns are pleasing to the eye on both sides. Score with the long side up (7.5″ side) on a scoreboard at 2″ and 5″. Then crease the lines with a bone folder.
For each base, I cut three different flap closures (rounded corners, rounded flap end, and scalloped edge). For two of the base, I created two slits with a craft knife to fit the gift cards. The third one, I plan to secure the gift card with an Adhesive Dots Large Repositionable.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Foil
I wanted to see how well the 3D Foam Creative Sheets Small in White would work with a one-inch heart punch. It was so easy and cut like butter! Next, I removed one of the liners and centered each foam heart on the flap end of the gift card holder (front side), positioning the tip of the heart over the edge.
Now for the fun part, the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique! Peel off the top liner of the punched foam heart, and place the foil from the Metallic Transfer Sheets in Pastel with the color side facing you. Then lightly burnish it with your fingertip to transfer the color. It adheres to the foam shape with ease. Don’t worry if you miss a spot. Just reapply the foil to fill in the missing area.
Next, I punched out from a patterned paper scrap and attached it to the back side of the heart with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips. This was perfect to finish off the exposed side of the hearts!
Belly Bands for Gift Card Trio
I’ve created little belly bands using a contrasting pattern for each. Start with a one-inch strip and fold it around the gift card holder. Apply just a small amount of the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips adhesive to hold the ends together. To pop up a sentiment or floral element in the bands, I used several 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
Hello, friends! This is Jingle here today with a super fun Welcome to the World Card for a special little one! I used fantastic papers and stickers from PhotoPlay Paper, along with my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L favorites, to make this simple design come to life.
Welcome to the World Card Layers
Create a white card base. Trim the star patterned paper slightly smaller than the base and adhere with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. I love this adhesive because it gives you a little time to reposition if you need it. Also, it stays flat beneath thinner papers and doesn’t show through!
Adding Elements
This next step is super fun! Create elements with stickers. Grab a powder tool (or just some cornstarch and a small brush) and dust the back of the stickers you want to use on your card. This eliminates their stickiness. Now you can use an adhesive of your choice.
After the stickers were dusted, I used the 3D Foam Squares White Mix which allows for dimension and interest to the design!
To anchor the sticker elements, I centered a plaid panel on the card front with E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. Next, adhere the foam-backed stickers onto the plaid panel.
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet little Thankful Shaker Card to share. Follow along for all of the crafty details.
Let’s Get Started!
Let’s cut all of my card front layers. I have the pre-cut card base so I need a yellow cardstock piece for inside the card. Then the purple patterned piece for the card panel and a pink cardstock for the card front of the Thankful Shaker Card.
Die-cut a hole out of the card front to match the pre-cut card base. Add the scalloped sticker around the shaker opening. Next filler the shaker cup with the Spring Mix Upz. Add the self-adhesive shaker cup inside the card using the card front opening as a guide.
Add the die-cut pieces and stickers to the card front. Use Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix for some extra dimension to this Thankful Shaker Card.
Looking for a colorful Happy Birthday Card? Hi, Margie here today! I am sharing an Inked Happy Birthday Card and showing what adhesives I used to ensure elements stick!
Inked Birthday Background
My card size is a standard A2 size (4.25 x 5.5 inch) so I cut down my white cardstock card panel to 4 x 5.25 inch. Using the fun ink tool applicators, I inked my background in three colors. Let it dry completely or hit it with a heat tool.
Working on the Sentiment
For a clean adhesion, I apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. on the back of a white cardstock piece before die-cutting Happy Birthday. I love the edge-to-edge coverage – think sticker! Next die-cut the black sentiment outline. Remove the backing from the sentiment and place it on the outline piece.
Assembling the Inked Birthday Card
Let’s work on the card panel first. Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser, center the sentiment on the inked card panel. Then apply several 3D Foam Strips Large White to the back and place it on the card base. I like using them as they don’t curl up like the big rolls of foam tape…although I love those too. LOL!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles
Instead of sequins and gems, I used the smallest size of the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and the silver fine glitter sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors pack to embellish. Randomly place your circles, remove the top liner, and place the foil over the exposed adhesive (make sure the color side is facing you). Rub gently to transfer the color to the foam, peel off, and done! So easy!
Hi, friends! Is anyone else excited for the carefree days of Summer? Teri here with a Summer-inspired Hello Friend Panda Card. It’s perfect to send to a friend during the hot days of June, July, and August!
Stamp Panda and Summer Images
Start by stamping, die-cutting, and coloring in a few Summer-themed images. Don’t have the stamps I used? That’s OK! Pick some stamps that embody the feel of the season!
Embellish your images by adhering them together. Use a flat adhesive on some of the images. I love using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser for this because the adhesive is dry and not messy, plus I can work quickly with it.
Use 3D Foam to adhere some of the remaining images. This will give them pop. I used 3D Foam Strips because they are long and skinny and can easily be cut up to fit any small space. You can also use them together to make thicker strips!

Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a sparkling Glittered Celebrate Card that is super easy to create. It is suitable for beginner cardmakers.
I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique in creating this Glittered Celebrate Card. Wanna join me in making this fun card?
Glittered Celebrate Card Base
Start by trimming a piece of patterned paper to a rectangle top card panel. Then adhere onto a yellow card panel using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser as your adhesive. Next, adhere to a white card base.
Make sure no piece of the die-cut falls out. Next carefully remove the back liner of the foam die-cut.
Then adhere the whole foam die-cut onto the card base.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter
Now the glitter fun starts! Carefully remove the top liner of two letters (I chose C and R) and cover them with blue glitter. Rub the glitter into the letters to secure, and tap off the excess glitter.
Repeat the glittering steps with the other letters, using different colors. When all the letters are glittered, remove the outside liner (including the small bits within the letters) and sprinkle white glitter all over.
After applying the glitter, remember to tap off the excess. Now you’ve completed the Wear Your Adhsive on the Outside technique. So simple with stunning results!
And…voilá, your Glittered Celebrate Card is ready. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and wish you happy crafting!
