Here’s a one-minute video showing you how to use and refill the E-Z Runner® Grand dispenser.
Next, select various die cuts as layered elements for your card. These will be positioned in place using 3D Foam Squares Regular and Small. It is possible to purchase a variety pack so you have both sizes – very handy!

For the tiny flower I’ve used Adhesive Dots Small, these are clear and have a super bond so perfect for keeping smaller items in place.

For the typed sentiment, I’ve opted for Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4 inch. This tape grips firmly immediately and no drying time.

Here is the finished card, I liked the design so much I made another layered birthday card with a different die cut.
