Cindy here today sharing a couple of cards securely constructed using Helmar products .
This first card with a simple Hello is made more textural with not only dry embossing, but a little heat embossing as well. I used dies to cut the sea shells and heat embossed them with a sparkly white embossing powder. I then gently shaped them and adhered them with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. Paper layers are adhered using Helmar Premium Craft Glue. Helmar Gemstone Adhesive hold the half pearls securely to the card.
MATERIALS: Digital Image by Make It Crafty, Cardstock by Bazzill and Core’dinations , half pearls by Robin’s Nest , Embossing Powder, Copics Markers for coloring image, Baker’s Twine, Helmar Products , Hello sticker by SRM Press . Cuttlebug Sea Shell die cuts, Spellbinder Circle die cuts, Cuttlebug Embossing folder.
This next card is a birthday card I will send to my father. I thinks it’s masculine, yet mature, even with a flower and butterfly. The paper layers, again, are adhered with Helmar Premium Craft Glue and the gold paper dots are adhered filling the void on back with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. I very lightly dusted the back of the scrolls with Helmar Acid Free Glue and the rolled flower is held in place with Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
MATERIALS: Butterfly Stamp by Hampton Art, Sentiment Stamp by Clear Dollar Stamps, Patterned paper: Teresa Collins World Traveler, Cardstock - American Crafts, The Paper Company, Colorbox Gold Ink and Staz On, Clear detail embossing powder, Quilled flower - Cuttlebug Chrysanthemum quilling kit , Candi paper dots, Spellbinders Nestibilities - Ovals and Circles, Helmar products adhesives.
Hope these two cards inspire you to get your Helmar Products out and get creative.

OH, what a beautiful pair of cards Cindy - LOVE them BOTH!!!
Great colours, layers and textures, especially love your scrolls ... I have tried quilling before, using a kit and wasn't all that happy with the glue that came with it, now that I think of it, Helmar Acid Free would have been a much better option (especially as it dries so fast) and I look forward to quilling again soon - thank you for the inspiration :)
