Hi, everyone! Teri<\/a> here with a fun way to use up the leftover negative pieces of 3D Foam Circles<\/a>: Create cards with circle grids! These cards are easy to recreate!<\/p>\n

Creating the Circles Grids<\/h2>\n

Start by taking the negative pieces of a couple 3D Foam Circles<\/a> sheets and trimming them down so you have a couple grids. You can use a paper trimmer or scissors to do this. You might need take a few passes at cutting the foam, due to the height of it! <\/p>\n

\n

Cover a card with patterned paper. Place one of your “grids” on the card. <\/p>\n

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside Technique<\/h2>\n

Apply flock or glitter to the grid. Make sure the foam is completely covered. I suggest running your finger over it to make sure there are no sticky spots exposed! If there is, dump a little extra flock (or glitter) onto the grid. Tap off the excess and DONE! <\/p>\n

Final Details<\/h2>\n

Add to your card’s design by placing a sentiment on it, as well as a few embellishments. Use additional 3D Foam Shapes, I used the 3D Foam Pennants<\/a>, and E-Z Runner\u00ae Stars<\/a> with flock to round out the design. Don’t forget the sequins too for extra sparkle.<\/p>\n

Finish your card with a piece of twine or floss! Adhesive Dots<\/a> work great for holding bows in place so they don’t move around! <\/p>\n

Go BIG with a Bigger Circles Grid<\/h2>\n

Here’s a second card created with a “grid” from another leftover negative!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Easy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The grid for this card is much larger than on my first card so I decorated some of the grid by embellishing the insides with stars, sequins and smaller circles. I also didn’t feel like using twine on this card so I went without! It would have looked great with twine though if I had decided to do so!<\/p>\n

I hope you are inspired to give this “grid” technique a try next time you have a leftover negative piece of 3D Foam Circles<\/a>! It’s a great way to get the most bang for your creative buck and let nothing to waste!<\/p>\n

Happy creating,
