What can I use adhesive foam pads for?
Use them for card layers, decoupage, toppers, die cuts, sentiment panels and other lightweight embellishments.
Will foam pads stick to glitter card?
They work best on smooth paper and card. Glitter and heavily textured surfaces reduce contact, so test first or use a strong craft glue instead.
Can I trim foam pads to fit?
Yes. Cut pads or strips with clean scissors to fit smaller shapes and delicate die cuts.
How do I stop foam pads showing at the edges?
Choose a smaller pad or trim it to fit, then position it slightly in from the edge of your design.
