Michele<\/a> here with a Valentine’s Day card! I’ve noticed that I have been on a pink\/coral\/gold kick these days! So please forgive me if I am being somewhat repetitive. I used some of my favorite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products to create my glittery dimensional card.<\/p>\n

I have a step by step photo tutorial to share my chaotic<\/del> creative process! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"valentine<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been asked many times if I have a plan when I am starting a card. \u00a0Nope, not really. Though I do try and pick papers first to inspire me. \u00a0From there the project takes on a life of its own. For today’s card I used some older papers in my stash. \u00a0(I’ve got lots and lots of old paper!)<\/p>\n

\"step4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does this die cut also look familiar? \u00a0 \u00a0I can’t seem to get away from some of my favorites. They just seem to suck me in!<\/p>\n

\"step5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love these 3D Foam Frames<\/a>. Such an easy way to add dimension to a card without a crazy amount of bulk!<\/p>\n

\"step3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The frames are double sided so I peeled one side off and stuck it directly to my pink background paper.<\/p>\n

\"step7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I peeled the other side off and dumped my gold glitter over it.<\/p>\n

\"step8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had several different circles from the die cut above and knew I wanted to place many of them back into the die cut. \u00a0But first I added\u00a0 3D Foam Hearts to random circles.<\/p>\n

And of course, add more<\/em> glitter!<\/p>\n

\"step9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I placed the circles on my paper and decided that I wanted a second frame.<\/p>\n

\"step10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added the second 3D Foam Frame<\/a> and cut off any excess circles.<\/p>\n

\"step11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, I dumped more glitter over the frame.<\/p>\n

\"step12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am often asked about my bows. \u00a0I rarely “tie” a bow the traditional way. \u00a0Instead I overlap each loop and pinch in the center. For this card I did this with two bows and placed them on top of one another.<\/p>\n

\"step13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I take coordinating string and tie it off in the center.<\/p>\n

\"step14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added a sticker to vellum and placed it under my bow. \u00a0I didn’t like how the sentiment was resting on the card. \u00a0I wanted it curved a bit.<\/p>\n

\"step16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So my Dodz\u2122 Small<\/a> came to the rescue! \u00a0Just place a small Dodz\u2122<\/a> at the end of the sentiment….\"Dodz<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Voila! \u00a0A curved, dimensional sentiment!<\/p>\n

\"step17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole thing was adhered to the front of my card using E-Z Squares\u00ae.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"step18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is one last look at the finished card. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
