Good Times

Hello everyone, 

Welcome to a creative crafty layout created by myself today using the second best glue Helmar create the Premium Craft Glue.

This glue will secure just about everything as shown on this layout. 

To start my layout I choose a photo then choose some pattern papers and a card stock that will suit. 

I have chosen to multi mount my photo increasing the paper sizes each layer by 1/4 inch. 

In most of my layouts that require dimension I use scrap cardboard pieces. 

Next step is to find some co ordinating embellishments including some beautiful Prima flowers and my chipboard titles which I have embossed.

I have mounted my flowers on scrap cardboard as well. 

Lastly I have added my chipboard titles 2 different pieces used together to make the pages title: 

Good Times Today 

Paradise

Hello Helmar fans, today I will be sharing a layout with you where I have used lots of earthy elements and have found that Helmar 450 Quick dry Glue is just simple the best product on the market.

My layout was designed to have dimension and texture and this requires a super strong glue to be used, it contains grass, twigs, shells and feathers, plus many more elements. I feel that the earthy elements used just added to the layout giving a realism to the project.

Something that I absolutely love to do is be able to run my fingers over a project and feel the depth and texture of the elements use it brings the work to life. 

Looking at this image below you can see how I have captured the depth and to hold this together I needed to use Helmar 450 Quick dry Glue the superior strength of the glue has allowed for heavier elements to be used.

In the next image I have used Helmar 450 Quick dry Glue to hold the twigs together and the also hold the string in place as it dries clear you generally can't see it I only speared it to hold the string in place.

And to add the title to my layout I also used Helmar 450 Quick dry Glue.

You have have realised by now that I am absolutely sold on on Helmar 450 Quick dry Glue. 

Happy crafting see you on my next post.

Lovely lace

This is a very quick but so effective crafty creation!

I started with a Maya Road Lace zip up purse that I purchased at a clearance sale.

First thing was to spray the Lace purse with the Helmar Crystal Kote Fixative Sealer so none of my paints or glues seep through to the inside of the purse. 

I placed the purse over an old jar and took it outside into 

a well ventilated area to spray.

Left it to sit outside for about 1/2 hour to dry and air. 

Once dry, I inked it using a pretty Bo Bunny gold mist spray and then let this dry. 

Once dry I found some black lace trims and some plastic bead trims to decorate the purse with. 

I have used Helmar 450 Quick Drying glue to attach all the trims. 

I have finished off the purse with the attachment of a metal flower charm and a pearl split pin attached with some Helmar Quick drying glue. 

Birthday Cards

Hello Helmar fans, today I am sharing with you a pair of birthday cards where I have used my favorite glues from the Helmar range.

 To create this card I have used Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue  for all my paper elements you will see from the below image I have created layers and the Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue allows me the drying time to be able to move my papers if I need to straighten them.

In the next image I have used Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue This glue is amazing and never seems to lose its hold. It is fabulous for holding fabric and metal in place. I have even used it to hold the bits of fully wool in place under the flowers to do this I just place a blog of glue down and then with a tooth pick I hold the wool into the glue till it feels a bit tacky, then i keep layering up the layers this particular cluster has 5 layers all being held in place by  Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue.   

 

For my next card I have made a male birthday card and used Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue  for all my paper elements .

I have used Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue  for all my paper elements and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue for the metal word, but when colouring this I have used pastels and have sealed it with Helmar Crystal Kote Matte Varnish This product seals chalks and pastels exceptionally well. It does take time to dry but the finished effect is well worth the drying time. 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my share today and happy creating.
