Wow! What an amazing, whirlwind weekend we had! Thank you all so much for participating and commenting in our first ever Helmar Blog Hop! We hope you were inspired by the projects that our design team created! I know that I for sure got a ton of great ideas and found new energy for the waning mojo that we all deal with!
Here's a recap on some of the amazing projects and techniques that were showcased.
Tracy created several amazing projects that were quick, easy and inexpensive! She showcased the Acid Free glue for her projects and from the product name alone you can be assured of the quality and longevity of your projects!
Tish used a smattering of different Helmar products and she specifically highlighted one of my all time favorites the Quick Fix Adhesive Runner In my opinion paper crafting and the Quick Fix Adhesive Runner go hand in hand. How can you not craft and create without it?
Carla created a super cute altered notebook using Liquid Scrap Dots If you love dimension in your projects and want the ease and control of how much dimension to give this is the product for you! Super easy to use, dries fast and clear and is acid free!
Laura altered a chipboard mini album page using the two step Antique Crackle Medium With the Crackle Medium you can experiment with how much coverage to use to create either large cracks or more fine. As she puts it she thinks of it as Snap Crackle Pop. It's a snap to use and gives your Crackle that needed pop!
Marci created a super cute altered organizer using Zap Dots . Zap Dots come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Yes I said color - from clear, to white and BLACK! Use them all for all your project needs!
Beth created an amazing vintagey family canvas using the Quick Fix Adhesive Runner This is another stunning example that the Adhesive Runner can be used for all of your crafting needs. And I do mean all!
Amber created an amazing topiary center piece utilizing Helmar Craft Glue This craft glue adheres to fabrics, leather, paper, chipboard, metal and more. It dries quickly and clear and it's machine washable! No fears of any cute altered embellishments coming off in the washing machine!
Becky created an amazing Welcome sign using Textured Effects Dependent on what application process you use will create different effects on your projects. Using a paint brush on your project will create a varied effect over using a sponge brush or your fingers. Acid free and quick drying make Textured Effects a product that can be used for all your crafting project needs!
Shelly created a super cute topiary center piece using Helmar Gemstone Glue Look at the detailing she was able to create using this adhesive! What's amazing about this product is that when you apply the adhesive it comes out white for easier application but it dries clear for no fuss and no mess!
Pinky created a stunning vintage romantic altered frame using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive 450 Quick Dry Adhesive dries crystal clear, is acid free and gives a long lasting bond. Perfect for most craft applications including bridal, floral, leather, plastic, cork, chipboard, paper and general household usage.
There are so many amazing Helmar adhesives to use for all your crafting needs! Stay tuned for more Helmar products to be featured in the future such as V2 Vellum Adhesive, Acrylic Sealer, Remove and Fray Stoppa just to name a few!
