Helmar Ambassador Aymee Gandy is in the Helmar House today!!!
Hello my fellow Helmar fanatics! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Helmar Ambassador, Aymee Gandy, here with you on this beautiful day to share a little project I created using a few of my favorite Helmar Adhesives. It's so great to be back sharing a scrappy project with you guys! I have just been in awe of all of the amazingly crafty projects by the design team here lately! You girls are on a roll! Keep up the great work!
Now, on to the scrappyness! I don't know about you guys, but I love creating my own art to display in my scrapbooking studio. I really enjoy that extra personal touch. Well, I was sitting around the other day and noticed how lonely my sewing table looked in my room. So I decided to alter up a frame to put on my sewing desk to add a bit of pizazz to the area. I found a frame at Big Lots for $6! Since my room is decorated in hot pink and lime greens, I went with the pink frame. For my frame, I used the following Helmar Adhesives to pull it all together: Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, Helmar Zap Dots, and Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. I could not of made this project without them! I do love my Helmar!
I began by adding some bold patterned paper from Die Cuts With A View to the inside of the frame where the photo would normally go. I adhered this using my Quick Fix Adhesive Runner. Next, I added some alphabet stickers from Momenta and a few butterflies. I attached my butterflies using my Liquid Scrap Dots. I then added a handmade flower to the lower left hand portion of the frame using my Liquid Scrap Dots and Zap Dots. The flower was cut out using my Cricut, Sure Cuts A Lot Software, and a SVG file I purchased online. I adhered my top flower to the base flower using 450 Quick Dry. I then added a little embellishment that looks like a spool of ribbon to the center of the flower. I used 450 Quick Dry to adhere this as well. Last, I used my Liquid Scrap Dots to add some decorative twine to the frame. Here is my finished project...'Sew Be It.'
Here is an up close view of my flower so you can see the detail. These patterned papers are from Die Cuts With A View and Jillibean Soup.
Now, I wanted to show you how I stacked several of the Zap Dots to give my flower added stability on the glass portion of my frame:
These alpha's provide some wonderful dimension as well. I also turned up the wings of my butterflies a bit.
I hope you have enjoyed this project! It was really easy to create and I owe it all to my fabulous Helmar Adhesives!
Have a fabulous day and Happy Scrappin'!!!
