Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an all-occasion Sweet Bird and Star Card. 3D foam is a perfect way to lift up elements on your card and give it that extra touch. I also used a technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. I would love to share how I made the card… wanna join me?

Bird and Stars Top Card Panel
Create a top card panel and embellish it by making a green circle using chalky ink and an ink blending tool. Then sprinkle some water over the colored circle and dab off the water using a piece of paper towel. This will make a distressed look.

Build the Card Base
Trim the embellished card panel to the size you like and then mat it to a piece of soft green cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Then adhere to a white card base also using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. You’ve now created a layered card base.
The Birds
Stamp the bird images on white cardstock and color them. Fuzzy cut the images. Place a combination of 3D Foam Squares White Regular Size and 3D Foam Squares Micro White to the back of the birds. The 3D Foam Squares Micro White is a great adhesive for tiny areas making sure no adhesive is shown from underneath!

Simply remove the liners from the foam squares and adhere the images to the card. Isn’t this a great dimensional effect on your card? Love it!
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Glitter
As a finishing touch, I used an easy technique called Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside which takes your adhesives from beneath layers to bring them up front as embellishments.
First I placed some E-Z Runner® Stars Refillable Dispenser on the card panel. I like to use tweezers to adhere the stars to the panel. Next, I sprinkle micro glitter on top of the stars and rubbed the glitter over the stars to secure them. Lastly, tap or brush off any excess glitter.
