Hello Helmar Fans! Vicky here today to share a fun little card set I made with the brand new whimsical paper line "Live in Color" by Susan Weckesser. I had so much fun designing with a paper style that I don't usually gravitate towards but the colors and sentiments are just so very sweet. Green Tara embellishments were a perfect touch to add to the sweetness of this paper line. I used Helmar's Premium Craft Glue for the paper layers, the Quick Fix Adhesive Runner for the delicate doilies and 450 Quick Dry for the embellishments. The papers can be purchased through one of Helmar's preferred partners Want2Scrap. These papers are amazingly thick and fabulous to work with!
Here are some close-ups of the individual cards...
I also used the August Helmar challenge as inspiration. Be sure to enter this month for a change to win some sticky goodies! Can you spot the staples, buttons, banner and flower frame in my card set? The first one is a trick, it's just an extra card I made with my scraps after the first 3 were done - I just love pink (and even numbers, LOL)!
Be sure to check out more creations with the paper line during Helmar's cross promotion.
There are also some great newly released Unity Stamps that coordinate with Susan's paper line and they are on sale right now - check it out!
Thanks for joining me today!
