Another Use for Foam Dots
When I make cards, I frequently use foam dots to pop up an element on the card. Here's one of many sheets of dots that live in my adhesives basket.
Years ago, I used to throw out the sheet when I used up all the dots. Then I realized I should save the unused parts to cut apart to make pop-up strips for larger items. Now I've discovered another purpose for used-up sheets of foam dots.
They make a perfect template for cute little rows of Stickles! Here's a card I made using that technique. Check out the perfectly even dots of Stickles on the background cardstock.
I hope some of you try this out. I'd love to see what you make!

ReplyDeletenever thought of that -- so cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. And if you don't have that kind of pop dots, you could always cut a template with your Cricut or go old school and use a hand held paper punch.

muy ingenioso!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI use a hole punch to punch out dots from the unused portion, too, as well as cutting strips.
ReplyDeletedo you let it dry or put it directly on the card?
