Hi! Kate here. Today I am going to totally gush over my two favorite Helmar glues and I am going to share several of the projects I have made with my two favorite Helmar glues over the past month.
How did I decide which ones were my favorite? They are the ones I use in almost every layout & card I make, they are the ones I chat about to other crafters(and anyone who might listen), they are the ones that get nervous that I will run out of them. A little crazy, I know!
Which glues am I talking about? Helmar Premium Craft Glue and Helmar Zapdots.
I'll be honest, when I first got my array of Helmar glues the Premium Craft Glue took a back seat to my Helmar Adhesive Runner and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. When I was just about out of tape runner our DT Coordinator, Cheryl, recommended the Premium Craft Glue. I fell in love. The Premium Craft Glue is the perfect paper-on-paper glue. The dry time is fast, but not too fast. It dries clear. It doesn't warp my paper like other nameless liquid glues. It has become my go-to glue!
Helmar ZapDots are the bomb! Have you used them? They come in all different kinds...1/4" white and black round and square, 1/2" white and black round and square, and even clear in 1/4" & 1/2" square. My favorite are the 1/4" white square, but honestly, they all get used here. ZapDots give height to my papers and embellishments. They are wonderfully sticky. They can be layered to give even more height.
In "Wear? Eat?" I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue on almost all the paper and embellisments. Even the buttons! I used the Helmar ZapDots to give a bit of height (you'll hear me say that alot) to my embellishment cluster in the bottom right cornter.
Again, using Helmar Premium Craft Glue for all my paper and alphas in "Insta-Smile." The Zapdots giving height to the embellishments.
Even on my cards I use the Helmar Premium Craft Glue and Zapdots. You can see in my "Happy Happy Happy" card how much height the Zapdots gave to the banners.
In "Snow Angels," I actually cut the 1/4" white square Zapdots in half to give the bottom banner height. I wasn't kidding about giving things height with Zapdots, was I?
"Auntie" showcases only Helmar Premium Craft Glue. Lots of layering of paper and still so smooth!
I have many more projects I could share from the last month that use only Helmar Premium Craft Glue and Helmar Zapdots, but I am sure you get the idea. Now, don't get me wrong, I do use all the Helmar glues that I own. None of them are unloved, not one. It is just that the Premium Craft Glue and Zapdots are my absolute Helmar favorites!
Go on and get some of your own Helmar Premium Craft Glue & Helmar Zapdots today. You will be so happy you did!

Great examples of your favourite Helmar adhesives in action Kate!!!
... I haven't tried either of them yet, still too addicted to my 450 Quick Dry and Professional Acid Free but I will definitely keep a look out when I next go crafty shopping :)
