Valentine Fun Foam and Stickers
I purchased a Michael’s grab bag a few months ago hoping to get some of the paper, stamps and washi tape I had seen other people getting in their grab bags. No such luck for me. I ended up with a lot of kids crafts – fun foam, stickers, pom pom kits, etc.
I’m not usually a fan of stickers and I’ve never used fun foam, but I decided to try some of the grab bag supplies on cards. It turns out that several of the sticker sets coordinated with a Valentine paper pad I already have. And, since the organization where I donate my cards has started collecting Valentine cards, it was good timing.
The sticker packages had both “flat” and dimensional stickers. The package of fun foam included a ton of pieces with several heart designs and a few sentiments.
In addition to the fun foam and stickers, I used some Love from Lizi peel-offs and washi tape for embellishment. Several of the fun foam pieces were multi-part where the heart images could be “punched out” and used separately.
One of the sticker packages had a lot of square stickers with fun Valentine sentiments. The size of the stickers made them perfect to use with this Operation Write Home card sketch.
For this card I used both flat and dimensional stickers.
Here I “backed” the foam hearts with a piece of printed paper which made the “punched out” areas more of a focal point.
So far I’ve made 60+ cards and still have a lot of supplies. I’m a bit overloaded on pink and purple and think I’ll move on to something different for a change.
