This month the Design team here at Helmar USA has the privilege to work with a fabulous kit created by Scrap-tastic for the their July kit. The name of the kit is Scrap-Tacular and you can find it right here. This kit sure gives the feel of the season of summer. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I have.
My first project is a card that I created as a design of the United States of America flag. When I saw the stars in the Scrap-Tastic kit, I knew right away that this is what I wanted to create.
I took my Purple Cow Freestyle mouse trimmer and cut 7 strips of paper to use as the strips on the flag. I glued these down onto a 5 x 5 square of patterned paper from the Scrap-Tastic kit using the Helmar Premium Craft Glue. Once the stripes were down I sewed in the upper left corner and then painted the chipboard stars white and sprayed them with the Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive. While it was still wet I sprinkled them with some glitter. Once they were dry I glued down all the stars with the Helmar 450 Quick dry Adhesive. Next I took my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and sprayed some of my own Maya Road Chip Board alphas blue. Once dry, I flipped over the the Alpha's and rubbed them with some of the Helmar 450 Quick dry adhesive and put them down. Once I completed the design of my flag, I took the 5 x 5 flag and glued it down on a card with my Helmar Quick Fix adhesive runner. I finished up the layout using some tiny stickers from Cosmo Cricket.
For my 2nd project I created this layout of my niece Emma. (center) She is Little Miss Lindenhurst Illinois this year. I wanted to document this photo of her in her first parade. I thought that the kit had so much to offer for completing this layout. I cut my patterened paper using the PurpleCow Freestyle trimmer and and then used Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner to put the paper down on my cardstock. For my butterflys and the ribbon, I used a thin beading of the Helmar 450 Quick dry. For my Enjoy the Journey sign I used Helmar 3d ZapDots. I added my own bouquet of flowers from Prima and glued them down with the Helmar 450 Quick dry Adhesive.Thank you to Scrap-Tastic for allowing me to create with your wonderful July Kit and thanks to all of you for stopping by. Tune in everyday for more inspiration from our fabulous design team.
Sincerely,
