Hello everyone! I hope that you are having an AWESOME day so far!!! I am so excited for this week because I LOVE using Helmar prducts, I LOVE the Helmar DT, and I LOVE using Susan K. Weckesser Inc. products too! *grin* All so AWESOME!!! Seriously....they all go together so wonderfully, so you are going to love this week!!!! And, if you haven't tried Helmar products...you really should. I really wasn't a 'wet' kinda glue gal until I tried Helmar 450 Quick Adhesive and now that is all I use with my projects! I am always glueing everything together!
So, for my project above..... I had fun combining one of Heidi Swapp's Memory folders with some of my Susan K. Weckesser Inc. products and Helmar adhesives.
* Live in Color Tags
Stamps
Stencil
I had a blast stamping my washi stamp with ink from Clearsnap,onto wonderful tissue paper from Canvas Corp. By using Helmar's Decoupage and Craft Paste to stick it to your project you can simulate real washi tape. It creates a wonderful washi tape effect!
I continued by binding some of my Susan K. Weckesser Inc. paper into a Heidi Swapp memory file and turned it into a Art Journal for myself by glueing all kinds of my washi tape stamps and my Live in color tags. I used my Susan K. Weckesser Inc./The Crafter's Workshop stencil & Heidi Swapp Color shine to add even more colorful whimsy to the edges. I will have fun drawing and doodling in this for sure. This was actually a class that I taught this past fall, and it was so fun seeing everyone discover color and the great joys when you #getyourglueon !!!
Have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy seeing everyones wonderful artwork using Helmar & Susan K. Weckesser Inc. products this week!
Very cool with the washi. I use low tack medical tape, the kind you put over gauze on your booboos, but it's just an experiment. I think it needs more experimenting with different dies. Love yours !

Thank-you SO much!!! It was so fun to do!!!! When creating something like this it really helps when everything sticks together for you!!! Otherwise I can get a little impatient.... especially with 4 teens needing things! Lol
