Hi Everybody,
If you view my videos regularly then you will know that I like to add dimension to my cards and sentiments
Which means I use a lot of foam in between the layers.

So I would ask you if you like to do the same?
And do you also use craft foam in the process of cardmaking?
And last but not least do you have one of the Xyron Sticker maker machines?

If you can tell me yes to all three questions then you have the means to make your own foam pads to use in your card making
The little Xyron machine will create pads that you can cut to the size you need but if you have one of the bigger machines then you can make a whole sheet that is perfect for the layers.
If you make water coloured cards then you will know that they can collapse around small foam pads and look awful when the card buckles. But with a piece of foam underneath cut to the size of the panel then it will look lovely when it arrives with your recipient.
The video is not long but hopefully it will give you some idea on how to put the whichever Xyron machine you may have to good use.
More tomorrow ...

Wonderful idea Christina. I haven't used my Xyron for a long time and have foam sheets somewhere!! Beautiful card. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome tip. I have a little sticker machine but I've never used it. I really need to try this!
ReplyDeleteI have two sizes of the Xyron machines and never thought of using them to make my own foam pads. I do use foam pads on some of my cards. Thanks for the tips you are always giving.
