Hello crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a Sweet and Simple Family Layout to share which I created in just a few easy steps. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
First step was to choose the patterned paper background and then I cut a piece of 9.25″ square white cardstock. Adhere these layers together using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Next cut a white cardstock mat for the 4×6 photo, and secure with Creative Photo Corners Black. Set aside for now.
Cut a few pieces of patterned paper for the layered background. Adhere them to the layered background using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. This is the base for this simple family layout. Add the matted 4×6 photo now using Crafty Foam Tape Black. At this time I also added the patterned tag to the left hand side of the matted photo, again using Crafty Foam Tape Black.
Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! Three cheers for my Red, White and Blue Card! How fun is this fourth of July card?! I created featuring the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Stars. The patterned papers from the adorable Doodlebug Fourth of July collection is perfect! We celebrate with my parents by having a cookout, enjoying drinks, relaxing together, and ending the day with fireworks. It’s one of my favorite traditions, so I wanted to make a special card just for them.
Red, White and Blue Card Front
For this card, I started with two 6 x 6″ patterned papers that reminded me of the American flag. I layered them onto a white cardstock card base using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Dispenser. For the sentiment, I used a sticker that I remove the stickiness with the powder tool and popped it up with the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. Center it on the card front.
You can see a peek of the next step! LOL! #WearYourAdhesiveOnTheOutside
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
My favorite part of this project is definitely the stars — because nothing says Fourth of July like sparkling stars and fireworks! I used Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors along with 3D Foam Stars to create custom embellishments that perfectly matched the card.
Place the 3D Foam Stars where you want them on the card.
Gently rub the foil to transfer the color, then peel it away to reveal the shine.
Repeat with other colors like blue, gold, and silver for a fun fireworks-inspired look.
Transferring the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors onto the stars is so satisfying! In less than a minute, I had gorgeous shiny embellishments that look like little firecrackers bursting right off the card.
The Inside of the Card
I just wanted to add something fun on the inside of the card too!
Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and joy-filled Fourth of July filled with family, friends, fireworks, and lots of crafty fun.
Thanks for visiting! Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli)
It’s Kristin here, and I’m sharing my Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layouts to celebrate our furry family member. The page highlights two sweet round photos of my dog, Bristol. The soft vintage colors, floral elements, and layered details were the perfect choice for showcasing my precious pup.
Creating Brissy Girl Layout Foundation
Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser, I adhered patterned paper circles I cut and photo mats. My tape runner is one of my most-used tools because it provides quick, even coverage and keeps larger elements securely attached. The two round photos of Bristol are the focal point of the page. The circular shape adds softness and movement while helping the design feel unique and playful.
Building Layers and Dimension
One of my favorite ways to add interest to a scrapbook layout is by creating dimensional layers. I used a combination of Crafty Foam Tape Black and 3D Foam Squares White Mix to lift the elements (such as floral shapes and tags) around the photos. It cast subtle shadows that make it more dynamic and visually appealing.
Adding the Finishing Details
Once the larger elements were in place, secure the smaller embellishments and delicate pieces with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. The fine-tip applicator allowed me to place tiny accents exactly where I wanted them without excess adhesive showing.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this Sweet Brissy Girl Pet Scrapbook Layout inspires you to document the special pets in your life. Try adding dimension on your next scrapbook project.
Happy crafting & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️ Kristin Rizzo
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Clean And Simple Style (CAS) Floral Let’s Celebrate Card. There are times that you don’t need a lot of material to create a special card. With that in mind, I have this feminine card. I would love to share.
Panel Layers for the Floral Celebrate Card
On a soft pink cardstock rectangle panel, center a piece of pink satin ribbon with our tear tape, the Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. Remove the liner and wrap the ends around the panel to secure.
Add flower trim to the top and bottom of the satin ribbon using Adhesive Dots Large. Each flower center is a pearl which does not have any adhesive so I secured them with Adhesive Dots Mini.
To finish, I added a white cardstock strip by tucking it underneath the ribbon flowers. To secure it, I used Crafty Power Tape Dispenser 81ft. A sweet pink bow was adhered with the Adhesive Dots Mini on the white cardstock strip between the flower trim.
For the sentiment, I added a sticker on the satin ribbon. And voilá, the Floral Let’s Celebrate Card is finished!
Hi friends, I hope your week has started off on a nice note and you are enjoying some pretty weather! Do you like having extra birthday cards in your stash that are easy to mass-produce? Yes, I do (raise hand)! Leslie here, sharing an Easy Floral Birthday Card with you today. When I say ‘easy’ – I mean that literally! Let me show you this card in more detail.
Card Base Details
I cut a top-folding card base from kraft cardstock at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5-1/2″. Next, I trimmed a cotton cardstock panel to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and pressed the floral image and sentiment into it. Used my BetterPress for this, however, stamps can also be used. Colored the image with alcohol markers and adhered it to the card with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. This easy floral birthday card is taking shape!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside
Employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using the 3D Foam Butterflies and purple mica powder. Super easy process – remove the liner, add the mica powder, and rub it to secure. Also very lightly dusted white mica powder onto the wings for some added sheen. Subsequently, I sealed it with a light coat of clear satin urethane spray outside. Wanted to ensure the mica powder wouldn’t rub off.
Afterwards, I stuck the butterfly to a small piece of acetate, tucking in gold thread for antennae. Acetate is great for adding stability. Trimmed around the edges and affixed it to the card front. Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix (one small square cut in half) was perfect under the body. Additionally, 3D Foam Squares White Mix (two stacked) worked well for slightly more dimension under the wings.
Finally, I added gemstones to the butterfly body using the Dual Tip Glue Pen along with a few on the background. The front of this easy floral birthday card is complete!
Finishing the Easy Floral Birthday Card
Once again using the BetterPress, I pressed an additional sentiment into another 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of cotton cardstock. Adhered this panel to the inside of the card base with E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Last, but not least, I adhered a patterned paper strip to the bottom of the inside panel which completed the card.
Hi, Judy here today! This Lovely Day Pieced Quilt card was inspired by cards made by my mom years ago when she had a quilt store. I recently found some of them and wondered if I could make a similar card with paper. Her cards had fabric strips sewn together to make the pieced panel. I made the panel with pieced papers. I hope you enjoy this technique.
Quilt Card Layers
Score and fold in half a piece of 8.5 x 6 inch Birch cardstock to form a 4.25 x 6 inch card base. From another piece of Birch cardstock, cut 3.875 x 5.5 inch panel. To make a window in the panel, die-cut a 2.375 x 3.125 inch rectangle window. Lastly, cut a 4 x 5.625 inch mat from navy cardstock. Designer Tip: Rectangle can be slightly bigger or smaller.
Papers for Quilt Pattern
Choose three pattern papers that are dark, medium and light colors. Dark paper (Indigo): cut two 1.25 inch strips about 6 inches long; Medium paper (Tan/Indigo): cut two 0.625 inch strips about 6 inches long and Light paper (blue floral): cut one 0.623 inch strip about 6 inches long. Designer’s Tip: Instead of 6 inch strips, use 8 inch strips to make two cards!
Patterned Strips to Adhesive Sheets
Peel back one end of a sheet from the Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in., place strips on adhesive with a slight gap between each strip, and replace the liner back over strips. Burnish well with bone folder.
Add Strips to Paper Backing
Peel one dark strip (Indigo with the 1.25 inch width) and place on piece of printer paper. Next, peel a medium strip (0.625 inch width Indigo/Tan) and place right against first strip so edges fit tightly together with no gap.
Continue with light strip (0.625 inch width of Blue Floral), another medium strip and finally dark strip. Trim away printer paper along long outer edges.
Add Adhesive to Panel and Pieces
Peel back the liner of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12in. and place panel of assembled strips on the adhesive, cover with liner and rub with bone folder. Do not remove panel. Carefully cut away adhesive sheet around all the edges of the assembled strips. Next, cut one end of assembled strips so that its even. Then cut seven crosswise strips of 0.625 inch each.
Make Pieced Panel
On piece of printer paper cut lengthwise in half (4.25 x 11 inches), draw a line at 45 degree angle from long edge. Designer’s Tip: I use a quilters clear ruler for this step.
Peel the liner from a pieced strip (a straight pin helps to get liner loose) and place it along drawn line. Peel the liner from another pieced strip, align it so center three squares are offset by one square from strip already in place. Repeat placement steps with the strips with the squares offset each time. This will create diagonal pattern like a pieced quilt. Once all the strips are in place, trim away printer paper along side edges. Square up one end and then cut panel about 4 inches long, width does not need to be trimmed.
Stamp Verse
Stamp verse on birch panel below rectangle window with black ink.
Assemble Card
Apply the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser on back of verse panel along edges of rectangle opening. Place panel over pieced strips panel and press to secure. Using the same adhesive runner, attach to the navy mat and then to the card base.
Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here and today, I have a bright Just Be You Layered Layout to share using some of my favourite products. Have you ever had a collection that you loved SO much, you just keep creating with it? I have used this collection SO much, that I now have just bits and pieces left. Let me share details how I used some for this layout 🙂
Let’s Get Crafty!
The background is created with a combination of two paper pieces adhered together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to create a 12 x 12″ layout. The focal point are the two photos which I framed with a coordinating chipboard frame using the same adhesive.
To anchor the layout, I cut and added two narrow black patterned paper strips to the edges of the teal paper with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Adhere the chipboard frame to the middle of the layout using Crafty Foam Tape Black for extra dimension. Then tuck in a couple of tags on the left side of the photo frame using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix and added burlap string to each for a little bit of texture and dimension.
Just Be You Title Cluster & Accent
With the sticker sheet, I created a title cluster, along with a phrase sticker and a word sticker. Add a border sticker to the right of the frame.
Lastly, let’s create a cluster on the upper left corner with another bunch of stickers, along with a phrase sticker.
Hi, friends! Looking for a quick gift to take your next Girls Day Out? Teri here to show you how to make super cute DIY Star Bag Charms. These make a fun gift to take a lunch with friends, a crafty retreat or even a bachelorette party!
Make the Bag Charm Base and Background
You’ll need some kind of charm that can hang on a key ring or ball chain. I am using some small circles cut from acrylic plastic. You could use a wood disk instead if desired.
Determine your background design with patterned paper. I torn a piece of patterned paper and added it on a second piece with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Then cover the paper with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Set the disk on it and move the disk around, evening out the glue and pushing out the excess. Let dry completely. Once dried, trim the excess paper from the disk.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
Place 3D Foam Stars on to the disk with the top liner on. Remove the liner on one of the stars and cover a piece of Platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil in Nature Colors (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the color to the star. Reapply the foil in missed areas. So easy!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Creative Art Journal Page. Going through my stash, I determine my direction of a sewing theme using vintage sewing machine images and other related elements. This page is all about layering and I would love to share how I made it. Will you join me?
Creative Art Journal Page Background
For the background, I adhered two pieces of torn old book pages onto a piece of white thick cardstock using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Next I sprinkled some pigment powder on top and misted the powder with water. I moved the color around the page by tilting the cardstock for some design. Now let it dry thoroughly. You can speed that up by using a heat tool.
Building Background Layers
Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, adhere some patterned paper scraps to the page until you get your desired look. Next, place a stencil over the page. With a spatula and structure paste, create the next layer. Let dry thoroughly. If you’re impatient, use a heat tool to speed up the drying time but be careful of possible bubbling.
Adding Elements
Fussy cut several images with scissor and adhered on the page with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Pop up some of cut images with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix in the foreground. Then lift up more with the other images using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares Micro White. Using the different kinds of foam adhesives, you achieve a variety of 1mm + 2mm heights (1/32″ + 1/16″) for a lovely depth on the page.
The Sentiment-al Touch
To finish, I picked and chose some suitable sentiments to tuck into the designs. I love how it turned out! And voilá, the Creative Art Journal Page is complete!
I hope you’re inspired to create your own Art Journal page. Wishing you happy crafting!
Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I am so excited to share these festive Snap, Crackle, Pop Tag Trio with you! I had an absolute blast creating these using the adorable 4th of July creations featuring the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic Colors and 3D Foam Stars.
Summer is one of my favorite seasons. Celebrating the Fourth of July with my family is always such a special tradition for us. We gather together for a cookout filled with delicious food and laughter. Of course, ending the night watching fireworks light up the sky = perfect! I wanted to capture all those fun and happy summertime vibes in these cheerful handmade tags.
Snap, Crackle, Pop Tag Trio Bases
These tags are such a fun and versatile project! They could be added on a scrapbook layout, tucked into a journal, attached to a party favor…so many ideas! I love creating items that can be used in so many ways. These little tags are full of festive personality.
Doodlebug always creates the cutest Fourth of July collections, so I could not wait to dive into my supplies! I grabbed some 6×6 paper pads and my favorite tag dies to cut tags. Mixing and matching prints was so much fun. I love layering the pieces together to create lots of dimension and interest.
Embellishing Each of the Tag Trio
Using the adorable mini journal stickers from the collection, I started with embellishing the tags. Designer’s Tip: use baby powder on the back of stickers to remove stickiness and use as an element. Add small foam squares from the 3D Foam Squares White Mix to give extra depth.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars
The stars are my favorite element in this project because nothing says Fourth of July like sparkling stars and fireworks! The Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Celebrate Colors and 3D Foam Stars were perfect for custom embellishments to match the tags. Place the stars on each tag. Remove the top liner from one and cover it with a piece of red foil (color side facing you). Gently rub to transfer the color to the star and peel off to reveal the shine!
Repeat the foiling steps to the rest using other colors like blue, gold and silver. Transferring the foils onto the stars is so satisfying. In less than a minute I had gorgeous shiny embellishments ready to go. They seriously remind me of little firecrackers bursting right off the tags!
Finishing Touches
Thread the red and white twine to the top of each tag for an extra festive touch. I absolutely love how these turned out. They are bright, playful, sparkly, and full of patriotic summer fun. Projects like these always make me excited for all the memories still to come this summer.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these Snap, Crackle, Pop Tag Trio inspire you to create something fun. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and joy-filled Fourth of July filled with family, friends, fireworks, and lots of crafty fun!
Thanks for visiting! Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli)
