How to Make Your Own Pop Dots

Dimension is the name of the game in my cards and layouts. That means a lot of dimensional dots, foam, or whatever you want to call it. That stuff is NOT cheap *however okie is...but she ain't easy...well okay maybe after a few drinks okie might be a little easy, but that's a whole notha post*.

I started buying mounting foam last year so I could cut my own and it was cheaper than buying sheets. The only problem was that it stuck to my scissor something terrible so I came up with the idea of placing the foam on paper that stickers came on so I could cut my own without having to cut each one individually. I shared this idea with my friend and partner in crime, Linda, who in turn posted it on the Cricut messageboard. I had requests for a video how to so here it is........

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN POP DOTS




********UPDATE*********

I have had questions about the foam tape being acid free. I don't know if what I used is acid free but I do know that the Scotch Mounting foam is acid free. Since I don't use it directly on a photo I don't worry about it being acid free. Hope that helps! :)

Also, my friend Linda said Freezer paper does NOT work. The mounting foam sticks to it.
