Hi, Shannon here today! I’m up on the blog today with this sweet and simple You Grow Girl Card! I love grabbing my favorite Crafty Foam Tape. You can layer it up if you need even more dimension!
Grow Girl Card Prep
I had this gorgeous Dare 2B Artzy collection on hand. It has double-sided patterned papers that were perfect to create this card! I used a 5×10-inch piece of paper and folded it in half. For a bit of interest, I used an edge punch on the front of the card. So fun to see the pattern on the inside of the card!
Stamping and Fussy Cutting Elements
Let me tell you about my little stamped images. I took my Dare 2B Artzy stamp set and stamped it onto Vicki Boutin Mixed Media paper using Ranger Permanent Black Ink. I then heat embossed over the image with clear embossing powder. Next, I grabbed a set of watercolors and painted the images. I think the color match turned out well! I love the slight shadow from the embossing powder.
The 3D Foam Squares Mix White Mix is so easy to use! They have the perfect amount of stickiness and the backing is easy to remove. I popped up my elements on them and arranged them into a nice little cluster. I then added some Nuvo drops and this little card was done!
Hi everyone! Margie here today to share this really easy project. Depending on the papers and 3D Foam Shape, you can change it up for any occasion. I’m featuring the Easter Shaker Lollipop Wrap. This project is a make ‘n take at a retailer’s symposium last spring…which is why mine is an Easter-theme. LOL!
Lollipop Wrap Base
Cut a strip of 2 x 10-inch patterned paper and then cut a 2-inch square off one of the ends. The strip is the base of the wrap. On the long side (10-inch) up of the paper strip, score at 3-inch and 5-inch. Burnish the folds.
Shaker Feature
Add the 2-inch square paper into the smallest Keepsake Envelopes Mix. Then fill a pinch of sequins in the envelope but don’t overfill. Remove the white front liner and fold the flap down to close.
Remove the shaker envelope from its liner and place it in line with the bottom edge of the wrap. This will give the top area room for the twine closure.
Center a 3D Foam Easter Shape of your choice over the flap. Peel off the top liner and place your choice of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Make sure the foil color is facing you and put the foil down to rub with your fingertip to transfer the color. Remove the foil to reveal the results!
Assemble the Lollipop Wrap
Add an Adhesive Dots 3D to the bottom of the lollipop and place it in the center of the wrap. Using the candy stem, punch a hole on each side of it. Thread the twine and knot a bow.
I hope you are inspired by this project to make for other occasions. Share with me by linking your post under this post’s comments. I would love to see them!
Hi, Emily here today! I’m excited to share a fun Hello Happy Interactive Scrapbook layout. Interactive because it contains some secret flaps, perfect for adding more photos or journaling notes! Let’s get into it!
Hello Happy Interactive Feature
I have many photos of my pup, George, but I wanted my focal picture to be large. My concern was I didn’t want to sacrifice my layout design or the natural border of the paper. So I decided to create a flap, using the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4in. which is perfect for creating those secret folds. It’s nice and strong for permanent pieces like this.
How to Create a Flap
A flap like this also adds more space if you want to include journaling but don’t necessarily want it on display. For the picture on the inside bottom half, I decided to use Creative Photo Corners Silver to add a special touch and extra details to the photo. I also had the leaf to the right and put that on some 3D Foam Squares Micro White to make it look like it was popping off the page. I didn’t want to add too much of a lift though, because we want the top flap to close and be flat, so I added Thin 3D Foam Squares to the details on this page & the top half.
3D Foam Squares White Mix were used for the top photo to add my embellishments since there was more space. I love the way this turned out! May need to make more layouts like this to capture many memories!

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet little Spring Shaker Card to share. It’s so easy with the3D Foam Circle Frames White, nothing to cut because it’s already pre-cut for you…and in several sizes to choose from. Here are all the details.
Gather your chosen shaker bits for your Easter Shaker Card. I chose a combo of these two Buttons Galore & More mixes. Stack two of the same size 3D Foam Circle Frames White (there are two sheets in a pack). Then add the shaker bits inside. Then peel off the liner from the circle frame and add the yellow cardstock shaker back to secure the bits inside.
Assemble the Card Front
Cut a white cardstock card base and a piece of coordinating patterned paper for the card front. Adhere the patterned paper to the card base using a combo of E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and Creative Photo Corners White. This will ensure the heavier shaker card front will stay in place.

Hi, Connie here with a Change is a Beautiful Thing card and a little mixed media thrown in. Use the fabulous 3D Foam Adhesives to create dimension and interest in what we all love on our cards!
Change is a Beautiful Thing Card Prep
There is some prep work before we can start assembling the card. I have a little step out to help with that.
1. Use a combination of Distress Oxide inks to create a background mix to the card. 2. Stamping and using stencils provide a great look – use your favorites! 3. Pick a stamp image as the focal point. Color and trim out. 4. Add more stamps, if needed. I added the Beatle bug.
Hi, Judy here today! I spent some time dyeing papers last week and was inspired to use a couple of pieces for this Hearts Inspire Card. The background was from an old book page, and the largest heart features foiled 3D Foam Hearts for a pop of dimension and sparkle. See my tutorial below…
Hearts Inspire Card Base and Card Panel
Fold in half a piece of 5.5 x 8.5 inches tan cardstock to make a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base. With a sponge applicator, apply Distress Black Ink along the edges.
Apply an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. to the back of a 3.25 x 4.375-inch piece of an old book page (make sure the book page fits the inner area of the scallop die). Rub a combination of Distress Vintage Photo and Black Soot ink around the edges. Stamp script randomly using Distress Archival Black Soot ink.
Next, peel the liner from the old book page and place it onto a piece of white cardstock, allowing space around the edges. Position the scallop die so the old book page is centered in the opening and die-cut a large scallop rectangle. This is much easier than trying to center the book page on a scallop rectangle after it’s cut out.
Take a piece of dyed paper large enough to cut a stitched heart die and place an Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. behind it. Make sure to rub well to transfer adhesive and die-cut with the stitched heart die. Next, cut a large heart from white cardstock using a heart die, peel the liner from the dyed heart, and layer the two hearts together. Use a gold metallic pen to trace along the stitch line around the edge of the heart.
Sentiment Tag
Stamp the verse on white cardstock with Archival Black Soot ink and trim it to 0.75 x 2.5 inches. Use a sponge applicator and lightly rub Distress Black Soot ink around the edges.
Cut a 2.625-inch long tag from tan cardstock. The tag I used was not long enough so place the tag die on cardstock with the bottom edge of the tag die extending off the die-cutting plate so that it doesn’t cut. Run through the die-cutting machine and trim off to the desired size. Use E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the verse and fasten it on the tag. Tie three lengths of string (I used crochet thread) to the tag.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Hearts & Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets
Place three small hearts from the 3D Foam Hearts along one straight side edge of the heart (refer to the photo). Peel off the liner, and apply a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors on the heart color side facing you. Rub well to transfer the color, and remove the foil sheet to reveal the result. Optional: Use a cotton swab to dab a small amount of Distress Archival Black Soot ink along the edges of each heart.
Finishing Touches
Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the tag and heart. Remove the liners from the tag and attach it to the heart, as shown in the picture below. Peel off the liners from the back of the heart, position it on the card at an angle, and press in place. Trim ends of string.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here! With Easter coming up I made this cute Happy Bunny Card. If you like to make a card without the traditional Happy Easter Quote, this is the card to make. And with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives, it’s super easy to assemble this card! Wanna join me?
Top Card Panel
The top card panel of this Happy Bunny card is all about layering. Start by punching a fence from brown cardstock. Then tear two strips from bright green cardstock.
Adhere the fence to the bottom of a pale blue card panel using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Layer the two torn green strips to the bottom of the card panel and trim it to a rectangle card panel.
Bunny Fun
Stamp the bunny and two daisy images on white cardstock with black ink. I used a color layering bunny stamp: stamped the fur with soft brown ink, and colored with pencils for more depth. After coloring the daisies, fussy cut them all out using a combination of a fine-tip pair of scissors and a craft knife.
Hi, Erica here today to share a colorful Easter Bunny 12×12 Scrapbook Layout featuring the sweet new Bunny Hop collection and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. I will show how to use cut files in a layout. Follow along with me!
Easter Bunny Egg Wreath
Cover the Egg Wreath with the Bunny Hop 6 x 6″ patterned paper pad and the Dual Tip Glue Pen. When covered, flip the cut file and place strips of Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft on its back.
Place the Egg Wreath onto a piece of 10.75 x 10.75″ white textured cardstock and mat on an 11 x 11″ Petite Prints patterned paper. Lastly, adhere the matted page onto a 12 x 12″ May Flowers patterned paper with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser.
Time For Photos
Every holiday I like to take some silly photos with Snapchat filters! The bunny ears were perfect with this layout! Cut two photo strips with Bunny Hop patterned paper. Secure the photos with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Next, place them inside the Egg Wreath.
Don’t Forget A Title
For the title, I used a combination of a Chit Chat piece and the puffy alpha stickers. Double-stacked some Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft to the back of the word, BUNNY, for more dimension.
Finish the title with yellow puffy alpha stickers. Accent with the adorable bunny face die cut with Crafty Foam Tape Black 108ft. This is my favorite foam adhesive to use on my scrapbook layouts and it gives just the right amount of height!
After all the flowers were adhered down to the layout, I added smaller die cuts and stickers tucked in around the floral clusters. To finish off the layout I used the Bunny Hop puffy stickers and added them around the Egg Wreath cut file.
Hello, it’s me, Lara. Since the temperatures around me have been in the 80s/90s. I am in the mood to plant all the seeds I purchased over the winter, but it is still a little early. Inspired by this thought, I created a Seed Packet Card. Let me show you!
Seed Packet Card Template
I thought it would be a great idea to create these seed packets to organize my seeds. What a fun gift to make for anyone who enjoys gardening. Just put seeds in it and add to a little terra cotta pot with gloves or garden tools. etc.
Score a piece of 6 x 7.5″ white cardstock at 1.4375” and 4.875” with the 7.5″ side up. Next, flip the cardstock (making the 6″ side facing up) and score each end at 0.50″. Referring to the above image, trim off the 0.50″ scored sections on the top and bottom, slightly angled. You can use either the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ or the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. If you are sending this as a card I would say to use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips.
Since I am a gardener and have a lot of seeds, I use these seed packets to hold my seeds instead of the original packaging (they don’t reseal). For my use, I assemble with the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4″ as they are more durable as I am opening and closing the packets, and taking it outside. But I don’t seal the tops.
Stamped Seed Packet Front
Let’s make the Seed Packets pretty! Stamp a flower image in the center on a piece of 3.0625 x 4.625” white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Watercolor it with several colors of pink.
Since I was making this to show as a card or journaling pocket, I created a 3.1875 x 4.75” white cardstock insert with a few lines in black pen. Other options are stamping, using stickers, die cuts, etc. to decorate but keep it flat so it can slide out of the packet with ease. Lastly, add a little bit of bling on the card front with pearls using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.
I love how this turned out and I hope you enjoy creating your version of my Seed Packet Card Template!
Hi, Shannon here today! I love to add lots of dimension to my Plant Happiness Scrapbook Layout. I grabbed a bunch of products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Dare 2B Artzy, and Buttons Galore & More!
Plant Happiness Layout Ideas
I like to mat my layouts whenever I have enough patterned paper. This one I layered this one with one bold mat and a much thinner one. It adds the perfect amount of contrast. I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to make sure that my papers would stay right where I wanted them.
Create Embellishments
I spent some time using a stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy. I used permanent ink, clear embossing powder, and some watercolors to color-match my images to my patterned papers.
This was so fun to create! I was able to create embellishment clusters by fussy cutting, stamping, and water coloring. I finished them off with some cute embellishments from Buttons Galore & More!
