The difference between a flat card and a card with dimension is a tiny foam dot. The 16 Sheets Craft Foam Dots Adhesive — 2 Sizes is the card maker's essential tool for creating professional-looking 3D effects that lift elements off the page and add depth, shadow, and visual interest to any handmade card or craft project. With 16 sheets in two sizes, this pack provides enough foam dots for hundreds of cards and projects — at a fraction of the cost of buying pre-made dimensional cards.
What Are Foam Dots?
Foam dots (also called foam squares or dimensional adhesives) are small pieces of foam with adhesive on both sides. They're used to raise elements — die cuts, stickers, stamped images, photos — off the surface of a card or project, creating a three-dimensional effect. The raised element casts a subtle shadow on the surface below, adding depth and visual interest that flat adhesive can't achieve.
Two Sizes: The Right Lift for Every Element
The 2-size pack gives you the right foam dot for every application:
- Small dots — for small elements like individual die cuts, small stickers, and fine detail work; provide a subtle lift without overwhelming small pieces
- Large dots — for larger elements like sentiment panels, photo mounts, and large die cuts; provide a more dramatic lift and stronger adhesion for heavier pieces
Professional Results at Home
Foam dots are the technique that separates amateur card making from professional-looking results. When you see a handmade card where certain elements appear to float above the surface, foam dots are almost certainly the reason. The technique is simple — peel, stick, peel, stick — but the visual impact is significant.
16 Sheets: Months of Card Making
For a regular card maker who produces several cards per week, 16 sheets of foam dots represents months of supply. The generous quantity means you can use foam dots liberally — multiple dots per element, multiple elements per card — without worrying about running out.
