Hi there! Today I'm going to show you a project that I did where I added a bit of bling to give the layout a bit of pop. I love all of the Helmar adhesives and one of my favorites is the Gemstone glue . I use it all the time! It make adding gemstones, pearls, beads and other embellishments super easy!
Here on this layout you can see that I just added enough to make the embellishment more interesting. I noticed that when I added the glue to the paper and then applied the gemstones that the paper didn't curl or buckle. How cool is that! You can add as much or as little to your projects as you want. It also works well on acrylic, cardstock, chipboard, foam and felt embellishments.
A huge shout out to Scribble Scrabble for supplying so generously to the design team these wonderful paper collections. For this project I used the Carmen's Collection line of papers. So pretty!
And now as promised Helmar is having another giveaway!!!!!
See these?!?!!? These adhesives rock!!! You have the opportunity to win an adhesive runner with two packages of refills. Get this the refill packages have two in them each for a total of 5!!! Plus you could win a bottle of gemstone glue!!!
All's you have to do is leave a comment right here. That's it! We'll pick a winner at the end of the month, which is June just in case you weren't sure :-)
Thanks for looking!!!
its a lovely page. I have been using helmar for a year now. really loved your adhesives!

My friends have been boasting about the adhesive runner. I get along better with tape than glue and they are telling me I would love this! I am curious about the gemstone glue, too! Is it a fast drying or slow drying glue?

I am SOOO sick and tired of my current adhesive I've been using for the past 6 years and am excited to have the chance to try Helmars (since I've heard amazing things about it!!)
