Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope you are having a marvelous day! Aymee Gandy here on this beautiful day to share a project I have created showcasing just a few of my FAVORITE Helmar Adhesives!!! Just call me 'Bond', James 'Bond.' LOL! I'm a huge fan of the James Bond movies and that is all I kept thinking when I was sitting at my scrapbooking table working with all of these fabulous adhesives! I think I even started humming the theme song at one point. For this project, I used:
Helmar Zap Dots, Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, Helmar Premium Craft Glue, Helmar Gemstone Glue, and Helmar Antique Acrylic Sealer
I have created a coordinating Christmas themed doorknob hanger and refrigerator magnet as a gift for my Mom. She decorates her kitchen in gingerbread for the holiday season and I thought she would enjoy these 2 pieces. She has a door leading from her kitchen to her laundry room and I have always thought it needed a little bit of decoration on it. So once I had completed the door hanger, I decided to make a refrigerator magnet to match. Here is what I came up with:
After cutting all of my pieces out using an electronic die cutting machine, I decided to jazz them up a bit. I decided to start with the pockets and 'bake' sentiment that go on the apron. I pulled out my Helmar Antique Acrylic Sealer for this. I brushed this on with a basic foam brush. I love the look it gave to my pockets. They almost look like epoxy stickers now. It really gave them a nice sheen. And it dried super quick!
Next, I knew I had to add some frills to the piece. My Mom and I both are super girly. We love adding ribbon and laces to all of our scrappy projects. So of course, I always turn to my trusty Helmar Adhesives for this. I pulled out my Helmar Premium Craft Glue to adhere a few strips of basic cream colored lace. I love this adhesive because I know I can count on it to provide a strong, quick drying hold! I also adhered some cream colored ric rac ribbon on the pockets of the apron using the Helmar Premium Craft Glue.
Next, I added some dew drops from The Robin's Nest to my apron. I adhered these with Helmar Gemstone Glue.
Now, once I finished the bigger apron, I created a smaller one for a magnet. I adhered a magnet to the back of this smaller apron using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.
I love love love dimension on any project! For this, I always turn to Helmar Zap Dots. They provide a great 'pop'!!!
I hope my Mom will enjoy these pieces in her home! I think she will! Also, I hope that I have inspired you today! Pull out those Helmar Adhesives and come up with a project of your own!
Have a fabulous day and Happy Scrappin'!
