Materials from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™:

• 3D Foam Christmas Mix
• E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable adhesive
• Crafty Foam Tape
• Dodz™

Other Materials:

• Core’dinations Colorcore Cardstock
• Spellbinders dies and Grand Calibur
• EK Success/Martha Stewart punch and glitter
• Zoom! Glitter paper
• Wow! Fab Foil

Instructions:
 

1. First, cut out the pieces of the door and adhere the largest piece to the card base using the  E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable adhesive.

2. Adhere the smaller door layers using Crafty Foam Tape.

The Crafty Foam Tape gives the door a dimensional appearance.



3. To create the wreath, punch out branches from two shades of green card stock.



4. Then cut out a wreath base freehand with a hole in the center, and use Dodz™ to adhere the branches.





5. Put more Dodz™ on the back of the wreath to make it fuller and bigger.



6. To create the bow, use both Zoom! glitter paper and Wow! Fab Foil in red.



7. First, take off the largest part of the bow's protective backing and press down the red glitter paper.



8. Then peel off the remaining 3 pieces of bow protective backing and add the red foil.





I love the effect of the foil and glitter together on the bow!



9. Adhere the bow onto the wreath, which was adhered onto the door with Dodz™.



10. Of course the door needs a door handle, so add black glitter to a foam circle from the 3D Foam Christmas Shapes.



11. The Crafty Foam Tape and the Designer Foam Shapes work so well on cards to send in the mail because they aren’t too bulky but still have 3D elements.
