Hey, Helmar peeps!
Jessica here today and I'm back with what I think is my first non-3D project since I've been designing for Helmar! It's funny, I am primarily a cardmaker and have recently gotten into art journaling, but most of the time I do some kind of 3D project when I visit our DT blog.
Today I have a card featuring Helmar Gemstone glue, and one of my all-time favorite go-to products, Helmar Zap Dots. I very seldom make a card without Zap Dots these days- I just love the simple dimension and depth they add to a greeting card without making it over-bulky and difficult to mail.
I began by using a stamp from Unity Stamp Company, one of our preferred partners. I cut out my papers and began to layer them, creating a nice dimensional effect.
When I was done with layering my papers the way I wanted, I added flowers, and glued down some cute Dew Drops from Robin's Nest to add a bit of color and bling to my project.
Here is a close up of the flower and you can see from the final product, the Gemstone glue dries completely clear! I also used it to adhere the flowers to the card on the larger flower and used another black, square 1/4 " Zap Dot to attach the smaller, cream colored flower.
I had to include the above picture just to show what the gue will look like before it dries. Don't let this discourage you from trying Gemstone glue- I can assure you that the glue will dry TOTALLY clear! Gemstone glue is a FANTASTIC, strong glue that is so economical too for gluing tons of rhinestones, dew drops, pearls, even plastic buttons! I use mine a ton, and a little goes a long way-it's the best!
Thanks so much for letting me hang with you today, and here's one more picture of the final product so you can see how everything dries clear:
You can check out additional info on my blog- I'd love for you to stop by! Have a wonderful Thursday!
xoxo,
jessica :)
