Christmas Layout with 3D Foam Circles

Posted on December 15, 2019 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here sharing a Christmas scrapbook layout that features dimensional embellishments created with 3D Foam Circles and die-cuts. The simple process of applying 3D Foam between layers of paper is a quick and easy way to create an eye-catching design.

I mixed shades of green with pops of bright red, navy blue, and gold for a fun twist on the traditional Christmas color palette. I like to include family pets in my holiday festivities. Spending time with my brother’s sweet bulldog, Maeby, is super fun!

Christmas Scrapbook Layers with 3D Foam

Dimensional Die-Cut Pinecone Embellishment with 3D Foam Circles

I used a regular size 3D Foam Circle to secure the pine cone die-cut to the top of the chipboard frame.

3D Foam Circles in small size are perfect for adhering smaller curved die-cuts to the page.

The Best Adhesives to Use on Laser Cut Chipboard

I built dimensional greenery embellishments on top of a chipboard frame. I want to share my favorite adhesives for laser-cut chipboard. The E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser is 0.8-inch pre-cut strips of permanent, double-sided adhesive that is the perfect narrow width for most chipboard designs. This adhesive is easy to apply around curves, circles, and lines.

The E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser is a favorite to use for intricate designs. Simply run the dispenser over the chipboard to apply petite dots. These petite dots may be small, but they are strong!

Festive Flocked Shapes

Holly Berry Embellishment Cluster with Flocked 3D Foam Shapes

The 3D Foam Snowflakes include several snowflake designs as well as small circles. First, I applied a pale blue glittered flock to several snowflakes and sprinkled them around the page. Next, I transformed the small circles into holly berries on the leaves with some red glittered flock.

I used the same 3D Foam shapes to decorate my journal spot. I hope you use this idea on your Christmas scrapbook layouts!

Have a Happy Christmas! I’ll be back before the new year sharing a fun technique using 3D Foam Circles on a card design.
