Hi and happy February 1st! Jamie here with you today and I have a wonderful stenciled heart Valentine’s Day card with sweet heart accents.
For Valentines Day I give out more cards than just to my husband, I also give one to my mom and kids. I want everyone to know that I love them even though I tell them every time I talk to them.
Stenciled Heart Panel
To make my card, I used a stencil and red ink to add a heart to the center of a white cardstock panel.
Create the Sentiments
I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of red cardstock with VersaMark ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. This was then layered onto a strip of black cardstock with Double-Sided Tape Runner Strips Permanent 150ft and a 3D Foam Strips was placed on the back to pop it up.
The sentiment was then popped up on the bottom of the panel and a heart from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser was placed on the right end of the sentiment strip. Crystal Micro Glitter was then sprinkled on top of the heart and the excess was shaken off. “Love” was then stamped over the stenciled heart with black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
Add E-Z Runner® Hearts
Apply three more hearts from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser on the card panel. Note: I used a craft knife to place the hearts from the dispenser to the panel. Cover the hearts with black glitter, press to secure, and tap off the excess.
Hello crafty friends! Here it is almost February and that brings Valentine’s Day. I’ve put together a pretty card with 3D foam hearts, foil, microbeads, embossing powder, embossed hearts, and more. There’s plenty of time to make this You are So Loved Hearts card for someone special!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Hearts
Are you familiar with Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique? It is bringing your adhesives from between layers of paper to showcase them as embellishments. In this case, simply remove the liner from a large heart, place a sheet of red foil from 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil over the heart (color side UP), rub and peel the foil sheet off. That’s it!

Try with Microbeads
Take two medium 3D Foam Hearts and place them on a non-stick craft mat. Remove the liner and randomly sprinkle pearl microbeads over each heart. Make sure to press them into the foam to secure. Remove excess beads.
Let’s Heat Emboss
Sprinkle red tinsel embossing powder over hearts, press to secure, remove excess, and heat with a heating tool to emboss. Designer’s Tip: while hearts are still warm, sprinkle more embossing powder on them, and heat to emboss for depth in color.
For the three small hearts, repeat the above steps but use white sparkle embossing powder.
Embossing Accents
Cut a piece of heavy white cardstock 4.5 x 6.5 inches. Use a die-cutting machine and Swirls embossing folder to emboss paper. Cut off a 1-inch strip along one long edge. Next, die-cut a 2.75-inch heart and a 3.5-inch heart from the embossed cardstock.
Sentiment
Stamp a greeting with black ink on white cardstock and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Die-cut a greeting strip. Trim points off ends.
Assemble the Hearts
Place the smaller embossed white paper heart on the work surface. Remove the foiled heart from 3D Foam Sheet and place it on the right edge of the white heart. Turn it over and apply powder to the sticky part of the foiled heart that extends beyond the white heart.
Place medium red tinsel heart lapping over foil heart at bottom left. Remove other red tinsel hearts from non-stick sheet, turn over and place 2 small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix near the top edge of the heart. Remove liners and then place heart lapping over foil heart at top right.
Place 2 small white sparkle hearts lapping each other on foil heart. Place the other white sparkle heart at the top left on the embossed white heart.
On back of greeting strip, place small 3D Foam Square at left end and one or two small Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix at the other end. This will keep greeting strip level where it laps over foiled heart. Remove liners and place greeting on heart
Turn over heart with greeting and place large 3D Foam Squares White on back. Peel liners and fasten it to large white embossed heart.
Prepare Red Panel
Cut 3.25 x 6.25 inch dark red cardstock.
Ink swirl stamp with embossing ink and stamp parallel to long side of red panel. Cover with red tinsel embossing power, remove excess and heat emboss with heat tool.
Form side fold 4.25 x 6.25 inch card from white cardstock. Use E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of red panel. Fasten to card front along fold edge.
Hi, all! Is the Pandemic keeping you from seeing your friends and loved ones as much as you would like? Teri here with a card to send one of those special people you’ve been missing!
Prep the Wheelie Card Front
Start by mounting two 3D Foam Frames to patterned paper. Make sure the frames will fit the size of the card you want to create.
Wear your adhesive on the outside by applying flock to each of the frames. Make sure to thoroughly burnish the flock onto the frames with your fingers to ensure no sticky parts are left exposed.
Stamp, Color & Cut
Stamp, color, and die-cut a couple of cute critters, a skateboard, and a scooter. Be sure to die-cut a couple extra blank dogs and bunnies. Adhere some of your images on your framed patterned paper. Stack up the extra dies behind your stamped dog and bunny and mount them to your frames with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. The stacking will give the critters extra dimension.
Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock to fit across the card. Adhere the sentiment to the card by applying adhesive completely across it, overlapping the frames. Use 3D Foam Squares at the ends of the sentiment strip where there is nothing underneath it.
Don’t have stamps like mine? That’s OK! Use the card as an inspiration and switch out the images and sentiment for stamps you do have!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are inspired to create a card such as my Wheelie Miss You Card to send a missed someone!

Hi and Happy New Year, I hope everyone is ready to have a crafty 2022!! Jamie here with you today and I have a floral card with a “floating strips” background.
Create the Floating Strips
To make the “floating strips” background, I die-cut acetate. Next, kraft cardstock and decorative paper were cut into strips. Then place Adhesive Lines on the back of the strips and place the strips on the acetate.
Turn the acetate over and place 3D Foam Strips on the backside of the paper strips and set aside.
Embellishing the Card Front
Place 3D Foam Circles on the back of the Flowers to pop it up.
Die-cut white cardstock using the rugged edge die from the same set. Remove the liners from the 3D Foam Strips and mount it to the white die-cut panel. Assemble the card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a pretty little Colorful Circle Card to share. This card is sure to brighten anyone’s day! Here are all of the bright and beautiful details.
Everyone Loves Color! Let’s create this colorful circle card.
Use the matted sentiment as a guide and begin placing the large and small 3D Foam Circles White Mix across the card front. These will become the Colorful Circles for your card. Tuck some under the edges of the sentiment.
Finally, add the sentiment piece to the Colorful Circle Card using 3D Foam Circles White Mix. I also added a small chipboard sticker sentiment to the bottom of the card.
Hi, Connie here with a mixed media tag celebrating the beauty of nature. The 3D Foam Squares Micro White were a lifesaver adhering the branches and deer horns to the tag. Perfect size for small areas!
Mixed Media Tag Background Prep
Start with creating a mixed media background on the tag which means a combination of stencils, stamps, inks, and collage. So fun!
First, I started with a stencil, then added stamps with the Distress Oxide inks. I just play with it until I like the look.
Embellishing with Elements
Next, I stamped out my focal images and colored them with the Distress Oxide inks I used to create the background. The images were cut out and ready for adhesive.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a simple and easy-to-make textured baby blue card. I love an elegant look for cards and this card is so simple to make that it’s also suitable for beginner card makers.
Some simple inking and a few die-cuts adhered with Scrapbook Adhesives® by 3L this card will be fun to make. Shall we get started?
Baby Blue Card Panel
Put a piece of white cardstock in an embossing folder and run through your die-cutting and embossing machine (follow the sandwich recommended by its manufacturer). Then trim the cardstock to the right size with a paper trimmer.
Next use an ink blending tool and soft blue ink to slightly color the textured paper. It’s a great way to show off the embossed design.
Make sure you use very little ink to prevent over-inking your embossed paper. Remember it’s better to add multiple layers than have too much ink in one layer.
Die-cut and emboss a heart shape from soft blue cardstock. To pop up and adhere to the card front, use some of the 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size. Not only does this will give interest to your textured baby blue card, but I also love how the foam square sticks to a textured surface with no issue!
Adhere the wooden word, Baby, to the card front with 3D Foam Strips. Again, the foam adhesives have no problem sticking a wood surface to the paper.
Don’t you love the beautiful 3D effect you have just created? For a finishing touch adhere a satin bow onto the card using Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin. I love using Adhesive Dots since they are perfect for this kind of work!
Voilá, your textured baby blue card is ready to be sent! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial.

Hi there, Jamie here with you today with a pastel shaker birthday card with lots of fun leaf background design. It can be done in a few easy steps. Let me show you how!
Let’s make the shaker birthday card move! Place the fourth largest 3D Circle Frame in the top center of the panel. This will form the shaker base.
Add silver crushed glass glitter inside of the circle. Remove the top liner and adhere the acetate over the circle. Die-cut a ring (do this by nesting two circle dies together) from purple cardstock. Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, cover the 3D Foam Circle Frame.
The Sentiment
Apply Adhesive Sheet on the back of a piece of black cardstock and die-cut the Happy sentiment. It will make the word into a sticker with edge-to-edge coverage. Remove the back liner and place it over the purple word shadow die cut shape. Then glue to the shaker using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
Hello crafty friends! It’s winter and snow season where I live. In honor of the season, here’s a card with shiny foiled snowflakes in nontraditional pretty colors. Check out the words “Winter Joy” that have dimension and a mix of foil colors! Keep reading to learn how to make it.
Cut Cardstock
Cut white cardstock 9 x 6.25 inches and fold to form a 4.5 x 6.25 inches card. From Fig Swirl cardstock, cut a piece 4 x 5.75 inches. Also, cut approximate 4 x 6 inches white cardstock for snowflakes
Prep + Foil Snowflakes
Apply Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch to both sides of a 4 x 6 inches white cardstock and rub well with fingers or bone folder to secure adhesive. Cut into approximately 2 x 2 inches pieces to fit snowflake dies.
Remove the liner from one side of the cardstock square, place the adhesive side down on the backside (the dull side) of the blue foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors. Flip it over to the color side, rub well with a fingertip to transfer the color, and peel the foil off. Repeat to make another blue piece for a total of two and one square with turquoise foil from the same foil set. Make one from a silver fine glitter patterned foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Holographic Colors.
From each foil-covered piece of cardstock, die-cut four different snowflakes by placing snowflake die on the foil side. Carefully remove snowflakes from the dies and remove any inner pieces.
Peel back the top liner about 2 inches and press blue foil (color side up) with your finger tip randomly in 2-3 spots. Repeat with the turquoise and silver foils. Continue to peel the liner further and randomly apply foil until the entire 3D Foam Creative Sheet is covered. If needed, reapply foil on any missed areas.
Die-Cut Words
Place the “Hello Winter” die on the foil-covered side of the 3D Foam Creative Sheet, making sure the “Hello” part of the die is extending off the edge. Next, place the “Joy” die on the foam. Run through die cutting machine 2-3 times to ensure a clean cut.
Carefully remove excess foam from around each word while keeping the word in the die. Then remove the word from the die. Trim off parts of the “Hello” word from the “Winter” piece.
First, partially peel the liner from the “Joy” word and lightly place on the card. Then continue to peel the liner to adhere it completely. Next, peel the liner from the dot and place it above the “j”. Repeat process for the word “Winter.”
Lastly, peel the liner from the back of a snowflake and add one Adhesive Dots Micro to the center back of the snowflake. Then place the snowflake on the card, and press it firmly in place. Repeat with the rest of the snowflakes.
Outline and Dot Accents
Use Uni-ball Signo white pen to draw a line along the outer edge of the snowflake panel. Randomly add dots with Neon Amplify! white. Allow it to dry. That’s it!
Hello friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little Winter K-Cup Gift Holder tutorial to share. This easy little project makes such a sweet little gift to warm someone’s heart this winter. Here are all of the details.
Quick and Easy Gift
The first step in creating this Winter K-Cup Gift Holder is to choose your cardstock for the base. Cut the cardstock to 2.25″ x10.5″. Grab your scoring blade or scoreboard, and score at the following measurements: 0.5″, 1.75″, 4.25″, 6.5″, 9″, 10.25″.
Cut the middle piece that holds the K-Cup to 2.25″x3.25″. Score this piece at the following measurements: 0.5″, 2.75″. Using a 1.75″ circle punch, cut a hole in the middle section of this piece.
Choose the patterned paper you would like to cover the outside of the Winter K-Cup Gift Holder. Start adding to each section using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Start folding the base to create that milk carton shape. Pop a K-Cup in the middle piece to use as a guide as to where the middle section will be adhered, again using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Using an Adhesive Dots Micro, add a simple burlap string bow to the top of the Winter K-Cup Gift Holder. I also used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to add the ephemera and chipboard sticker pieces to the outside of the carton.
