Flower Power Layout by Amanda

Helllooooo Everyone.....

Today I have my Flower Power Layout

using several of Helmars great adhesives.

Products Used

450 Quick Dry Adhesive

Super-Tac Glue

Gemstone Glue

Crystal Kote Matte Varnish

First off I have chosen a couple of 12 x 12in Papers and cut the top one down

to show the one underneath approx 11.5in all around.

Ink around all the edges and distress the top paper edges.

I have attached the bottom paper with some double sided tape and

Super-Tac Glue to a 12 x 12in piece of Chipboard so that it has a firm backing.

Do the same to attach the top paper and then cut out the

girls head and use the Super-Tac Glue to place her.

I have used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue on all the flowers

I have created some spatters to colour the flowers and added some dripping also.

Now I have used some Gemstone Glue to adhere the glass beads around the flowers.

Here are some close-ups.

Final;y I have added some word phrases using the

Super-Tac glue to make sure they stay on.

I have coloured her eyes and lips and added some pearls for her

necklace with gemstone glue.

I hope you have enjoyed this project

and are feeling inspired to create

with Helmars fabulous products.

Christmas In July

Hello everyone,
Leanne here with you today.
I have created a Snow lady / now decorative button jar.

A recycled plastic jar was used as the base for my project.
The base has been painted with chalk paint,
and fine glitter was sprinkled over the wet paint.
Allow to dry.
When dry, spray with Crystal Kote Matte Varnish as shown.
The varnish helps to seal and protect the glittery surface.

Next glue two styrene balls together using Tiger Grip Glue.
Then mix equal parts of gesso and Craft & Hobby PVA Glue together.

Then use a brush, brush this mix over the styrene balls as shown. 

While this surface is still wet sprinkle on some faux snow.

Allow to completely dry overnight.

Next create a paper rosette, as shown.

Then glue this to the lid using 450 Quick dry Adhesive.

Then glue the snow lady to the paper rosette using
Tiger Grip Glue.

Now decorate the snow lady and jar.
I have used a doily, trims, beads and a clay nose.
All items were glued into place using
450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

Next the hat was created with layers of
cardboard, tissue paper and cheese cloth,
glued together using 
Craft & Hobby PVA Glue.

Helmar products used:
Craft & Hobby PVA Glue
450 Quick Dry Adhesive
Tiger Grip Glue
Crystal Kote Matte Varnish

Helmar glues are so easy and versatile to use,
making this a super fun project to create.

So until next time,
Have fun creating.

Drift with the Sea

Using a nice driftwood hanging heart string and the new Mintay “Seaside Escape” die cut collection I have created this mixed media hanger... 

So follow along in this post and I will show you how to take this collection of bits and pieces and turn it into the above beautiful creation! 

For this project I have used the 

Tarzan Grip Adhesive 

Gotta love die cut pieces no fussy cutting !

I have placed my Mintay Seaside Escape die cut pieces on my hanger at different intervals mounting some on 3 D foam 

I have then used the Tarzan Grip Adhesive to glue shells randomly on the hanger and then I have left it to dry thoroughly overnight as our weather here is wet and muggy 

Next step was to add some sand effects to the hanger. 

I have mixed sand with the Tarzan Grip Glue 

And then spread it onto the shells and drift wood pieces 

I have then added highlights with some waxes and then dry brushed white Gesso over the top.

And that is the hanger finished!


 

Fast and Simple Scrapbook Layout - Jaymi

Hello lovely people, 

Jaymi here today sharing another scrapbooking layout. I always start with a white piece of cardstock. I then used the remain scrap paper from my previous layout. You can achieve this result but tearing a patterned paper pieces towards yourself. I used the Helmar Craft and Hobby Glue to stick the patterned paper to the cardstock. I then used some butterfly embellishments from my stash and trickled them down the page. I used the Helmar Craft and Hobby glue to stick them to the page again. 

I added a simple title and some enamel dots around the page to finish it off. This was a very quick layout and it so easy to scraplift.

See you next time, Jaymi
