Helmar Adhesives pass the TEST!

 

 

I can unequivocally say that HELMAR Adhesives do exactly what they say they are going to do. I traveled with 7 projects in a carry on, 4 different flights, coast to coast, 5400 miles total, to attend Winter 2012 CHA. Upon arrival I had to check the condition of the projects...I spent several sleepless nights debating how I was going to safely get these projects where they needed to be.  I can attest that Helmar Adhesives receives 100% success rate...not one project needed to be repaired, not one embellishment lost, not one ribbon or trim needed to be re-applied! With that being said I would like to share 4 of the projects that made the trip and were displayed at CHA. 

In my signature round canvas I created an art journal background with several Tattered Angels Plain Jane products. I used several different materials ...manilla tags, chipboard, tape, canvas, brass embellishments & twine...finished off with Canvas Corp twine wrapped and glued along the outer edge. All of these embellishments were attached to the canvas using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue. I needed something strong, that would hold together many layers of materials with different weights.

 

Another project was this fabulous 12"x12"photo album from Walnut Hollow, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist colors from the Germany Clam pack, Tim Holtz Grungeboard alphabets and several found objects.Helmar Adhesives used included 450 Quick Dry Adhesive & Premium Craft Glue.

The last 2 projects are canvases that were created for the Tattered Angels Winter Catalog...again only Helmar Glues were used for this task. Both utilized Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know it seems like 450 Quick Adhesive is the only glue that I use, many times it is but I have found another "go to" Helmar Adhesive that I'm going to share in my next blog post on Feb. 29th. Everytime I use this adhesive I am amazed at how well it works so stop back see which adhesive it is.

Thanks for stopping by and it's time TO GET MY GLUE ON!

Absolutely Inspiring!

How do I describe this week other than......Inspiring.  Helmar was a proud sponsor of Donna Downey's Inspired Workshop and it was an amazing event.  We would like to thank Donna and Bill Downey for asking us to be a part of this for the second year in a row.  They have been responsible for forging so many new relationships.  We would like to think Grove's Office Supply in Pennsylvania for being the official Helmar Retailer for the event.  Staci and Jeff Shuck along with their children are amazing people.  Wednesday was "Helmar Day" and the excitement for our products was all over the venue.  I could not pass anyone with them yelling "Helmar Day!" 

As a BIG Thank You to all the Attendees at Inspired, Helmar would like to do a random giveaway on our blog!  It was a pleasure to meet each and every one of you, especially those who took my workshop, those who took did a make 'n take with me, everyone I had the opportunity to cross paths with.  It was an inspiring week! 

So we will pick a RANDOM Winner if you POST a comment HERE on this blog post and/or on Helmar's Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/HelmarUSA letting us know what your favorite part was, who you enjoyed meeting with, what class did you love, anything about Inspired (sorry this is open to Inspired Attendees only).  If you post in you both places you double your chances!

We will pick a random winner on May 23, 2011 for these Helmar Products!

 
I also want to remind you to "LIKE" Helmar on Facebook and PLEASE share the products you create with Helmar products. You can share them right on our Facebook page or email them to me: tracyw@helmarusa.com.
