Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a beautiful little Layered Vintage Style Card to share. Here are all of the details.
Let’s Get Started!
The first step in creating this Layered Vintage Style Card is to cut the white cardstock card base. The gingham patterned paper card layer and the white cardstock card front. Using the paper distress tool, distress the edges of the top 2 layers.
The next step is to choose and adhere the large layer die cut pieces. I adhered all of these pieces to the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Just that little bit of thickness adds so much dimension between layers of this Layered Vintage Style Card.
Designer’s Note: You can also use our Crafty Foam Tape 108ft. in Black as it has the same height (1mm) but on a large roll that can be long or short, depending on the project!
Adding on the FUN Layers
Choose the next smaller ephemera pieces for the card, and once again adhere them to the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.
As I created this Layered Vintage Style Card, I chose smaller and smaller ephemera pieces to add. Now it’s time for the smallest pieces and the final touches. I used, once again….Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, but this time the 1/4″ size from the pack. Even then, sometimes I snipped them into smaller pieces to layer the flowers and add the ephemera bow.
Hi, Jingle here today! Today’s card is a perfect summer Beachy Hello Card that is sure to bring smiles! This one brings together some really interesting specialty papers to create a design filled with texture without being too complicated.
Crab Elements on the Beachy Hello Card Front
These sweet little crabs are a lot of fun, cut from blue shimmer paper and popped up using Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. They are perfect because you have the larger squares for the body and the smaller ones for the claws! Just use tiny drops of Dual Tip Glue Pen to adhere those eyes in just the right spot!
Card Layer Details
The layered base of the card adds a lot of visual interest. I rely on my E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser for jobs like this. The black panel is adhered to the card base, and then the sandy panel is adhered to offer a great deal of visual depth.
The water is a beautiful Unryu textured paper layered over white cardstock. The E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner) is the perfect tool for this job! You can’t see it beneath this super-thin paper, and it sticks so well! I also use this to adhere the sentiment layers, as it is really good with finer detail pieces, as well.
This is a super fun Beachy Hello Card to create. I mean, who doesn’t want to craft little blue crabs, right? I hope you have enjoyed this design, and I can’t wait to see your take on it!

Hi, everyone! Summer’s not quite over yet! Teri here to help you stretch the season out a little longer by making this You Brighten My Day Card. Yep, I’ll show you how to make a card with a great big sun on it!
Brighten My Day Card Panel
Layer a piece of yellow patterned paper panel onto a card base with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. If you don’t have a piece of patterned paper, make your own with inks or ink sprays like I did.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circle Frames and 3D Foam Strips
Die-cut a rectangle postage edge shape in white cardstock. Now the fun – let’s build the focal point, the sun! Take several 3D Foam Circle Frames to make one big circle…I used six circles. Next, take several 3D Foam Strips and cut them into small pieces. Place them on your postage rectangle to look like sun rays.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with white flock. How? Take off the top liner of all 3D Foam Circle Frames circles and 3D Foam Strips pieces. Cover them with flock, press to secure into the adhesive, and tap off the excess. Designer’s Note: For a sparkling option, use one of our foils like the pretty Metallic Transfer Foil in Pastel Colors.
Trim the rectangle to fit onto your card front and use 3D Foam Strips Large White to mount it onto your card.
Embellish the Sun
Let’s give your sunshine some personality by adding a mouth, a pair of wiggle eyes, and a sweet yellow bow to it. I used the Adhesive Dots Small to secure all.
Complete the Card with a Sentiment and Embellishments
Stamp a sentiment on white cardstock and place it on your card with the E-Z Squares® Dispenser. Complete your card by adding a few sequins or gems to it with the Adhesive Dots Small.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make a Summer-inspired You Brighten My Day Card of your own.
Cheers to Summer, Friends! ☀️🍋 Hey there! Ali here, and today I’m sharing a fun and fresh summer Squeeze the Day Layout inspired by my absolute favorite warm-weather drink—lemonade!
Back Story on the Squeeze the Day Layout
This layout is all about celebrating those sweet, zesty vibes, and it features a photo of the adorable pink lemonade I enjoyed at the Barbie Café in Chicago. It was too cute not to document!
Squeeze the Day Background
When it comes to working with intricate cut files—like these detailed lemon shapes—I always reach for my go-to adhesives:
These products made it easy to add depth and dimension to the layout without any fuss.
I backed the lemon cut file using the cheerful new Bee Happy collection from Doodlebug Design, and I paired it with embellishments from Simple Stories’ Simple Vintage Lemon Twist collection. The lemon foam stickers and ephemera were the perfect match for my summery photos!
Page Details
To give the cut file some lift and highlight the lemons, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft.. I also popped up a few lemon embellishments with the 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and even tucked a square behind the cute lemon flair from Scrappin Happy Studio for extra dimension. Don’t forget to make those butterflies pop off the page too!
Now tell me—who else could go for a refreshing lemonade on this hot summer day? I know I could!
Cheers to summer and sweet memories! 🍹🌞
Thanks for visiting! Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli)
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a tutorial for a Hearted With Love Card. This stamped, embossed and foiled card is fairly easy to make.
I would love to tell you all about how I created it. Wanna join me?
Hearted with Love Card Panel
Start by inking the background stamp with two shades of ink colors on a white card panel. Trim the panel to the size you like. Mat it to a pink card panel and then to a white card base with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Heat Emboss the 3D Foam Hearts
Adhere some 3D Foam Hearts in different sizes on the card panel. Remove the top liners of the hearts and sprinkle several shades of embossing powder over the exposed adhesive. Rub the embossing powder to secure and tap off the excess. Use a heating tool to melt the powder. Yes, you can heat the 3D Foam Hearts! Creating embellishments with adhesives is called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique.
Other: Stamp: AALL & Create (Lined Hearts); Ink & Embossing Powder: Ranger Ink (Distress® Oxide® in Old Paper and Hickory Smoke, and Distress Embossing Glaze in Crackling Campfire, Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge, and Tattered Rose); Pink and White Cardstock; Heat Tool; Dymo Label Maker; Paper Trimmer; Scissors
‘Tis the season for gift card giving with weddings, graduations, and showers. So I grabbed my pocket die and adhesives to see where it would take me. Hi, Margie here, and I’d like to share this sweet Starry Hello Pocket Card featuring the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser!
Starry Hello Card Front Pieces
On an A2 top-fold card and a piece of 5.25 x 4-inch patterned paper, color the edges with a dark blue brush pen. Next, die-cut the horizontal pocket die with a patterned paper and repeat with coloring the edges.
Layered Words
Not only do I want to use the Hello as a sentiment word but I also use the Hi from the same set for the inside of the card. I didn’t have a dark blue cardstock, so I decided to color white cardstock after die-cutting and color the edges of the Hello outline shape.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the E-Z Runner Stars
Make quick and easy star accents with this Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique. Randomly apply the stars from the E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card front and place the pastel blue from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on the stars. Make sure the foil color is facing you and rub to transfer the color to the stars. Done!
Gift Card Holder
To finish off the Starry Hello Card Front, I die-cut a gift card holder and colored the edges in the same dark blue brush pen. Then stamped a phrase with the pen. Just add the recipient’s favorite gift card and tuck it into the pocket.

Happy Holidays in July! Hi, Jingle here today, and we are celebrating Christmas! Okay, to be honest, I don’t quite get the whole Christmas in July thing. I like Christmas in December. Call me crazy. But what I DO appreciate is having holiday cards ready to go once December rolls around. So, this is a great time to start working on that stash!
Today I have a fun technique to share with you to create dazzling Holiday Greetings using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Products. This design is loaded with both color and sparkle.
Elements for the Happy Holidays Card
Begin by stamping with black ink and die-cutting your ornament images on white cardstock. Use a rainbow of colors to ink blend each ornament in the colors of your choosing.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique with Dual Tip Glue Pen + Free Form Style
Now we get to the fun bits! Using the finer tip on the Dual Tip Glue Pen, apply it over the areas you would like to add foil accents. Do this on all of your ornaments at once. It will start to dry, but it stays nice and tacky for a bit and that is exactly what we need for this fun technique.
Once they are all ready, place them on the backside of your foil sheet. I used the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors and chose a dancing silver pattern to use on my ornaments. Let the ornaments sit there for a bit and allow them to dry completely.
When they are done, you can gently remove them from the foil to see how gorgeous they look!
Assembling the Happy Holidays Card Ornaments
Arrange your ornaments in the desired placement on your card panel. Fun trick: Use Press and Seal (yup, straight from the kitchen) to hold your arrangement in place. Gently remove the full arrangement from the panel and flip over.
Another wonderful trick, we are going to add all kinds of dimension to our design by adding three different heights in this step. For the 2mm height, use the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft on some ornaments. For a subtle 1mm height, add the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. on the others. Finally, stack another piece of the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. each with the Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft for your third level here for a height of 3mm! Take the backing off and, with the Press & Seal in place, adhere the ornaments to your card front.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Snowflakes
One of my ornaments needed something, so I pulled out my packet of 3D Foam Snowflakes to add a dimensional and shiny accent. Using the same silver foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, I removed the top liner and placed the foil (this time, color side facing you) over the exposed adhesive. Gently rub to transfer the color to the snowflake and peel it off to reveal a shiny flake! Then I adhered it right to the center of a single ornament.
Finishing Off the Card
Finally, we need to assemble the panels and card base. Using my trusty E-Z Dots® Permanent Dispenser, I adhered the panel to a black panel and then added that to my card base.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and used my Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. (aka our tear tape) to adhere it over the full design, allowing it to move with the dimension of the raised portions and flat portions of the card.
This design is SO much fun to put together. I hope you have enjoyed this Happy Holidays Card in July tutorial, and give this technique a shot!
Hello scrappy friends! Tracy here, and today I have this bright layered layout to share. Here are all of the details on how I created it.
Let’s Get Started
I chose white cardstock as the background for my bright layered layout. Then I cut the large triangle pieces from patterned paper and a narrow strip with torn ends to go across the background. Adhere these pieces to the layout using E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.
Start choosing embellishments for your bright and layered layout. Add some straight to the layout and then add others using 3D Foam Squares White Mix for extra dimension to your bright layered layout.
Apply foil to the hearts. Be sure to place the foil over the hearts with the pretty side up.
Create a Scalloped Border
Take some 3D Foam Circles. Cut them in half. Line them up to make a scallop on your card. Again, burnish the foil onto them.
Stamp or computer generate a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and add it to your card.
Finish the Card
Take a stamped or die-cut coffee cup and mount it onto your card, partly over the largest heart. Add a 3D Foam Heart to the middle of the cup and remove its top liner. Take a piece of silver foil from the 3D Creative Embellishment Kit with Foil, and place the foil color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Rub to transfer the color to the heart and peel off the foil to reveal the result!
Complete your card by adding a few sequins or gems to it. It’s ready to give away!
I hope you are inspired by today’s tutorial to make a few cards of your own. Remember, you do not have to use the products I did. Shop your supply stash for similar products that will work.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a Starry Art Journal Page. I used the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique to add some sparkly accents to my page. I would love to share how I made it…it’s so easy!!
This page is so simple to make that it’s also suitable for beginner art journalers. Follow the steps of my tutorial.
Starry Art Journal Base Layer
For my Starry Art Journal Page, I used an A5 size art journal booklet. Cut a piece of patterned paper to a size slightly smaller than the journal page. Alter the edges with a paper distresser and then ink them with brown ink. Distress more if needed after inking.
Use the E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to run some horizontal lines across the page. Then sprinkle red glitter on top and rub to secure. Tap off any excess to reveal a stunning shiny embellishment. This Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique brings adhesives from under layers to the top as embellishments.
Next, adhere some sticker elements and washi tape for more accents on the page. With the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in, adhere the ribbon trim.
Other: Patterned Paper and Stickers: PhotoPlay Paper (Midnight Garden); Dark Red Cardstock; Ink: Ranger Ink (Distress Ink in Vintage Photo); A5 Art Journal; Ribbon; Red and Gold Glitter; Paper Trimmer; Scissors; Tweezers
