OK so you probably won't believe it but I would go through on average a tube of Helmar Scrap Dots every few weeks! It is not because it is a product that doesn't last… but rather because I use it so darn much. I just absolutely love it and the dimension I can achieve with it. I think I especially love it because of it's ability to be there but not seen – even on small alphas or fine embellishments, such as the stars on this layout.
For this Layout I have teamed up my Helmar Acid Free and Helmar Scrap Dots with some BoBunny papers.
I have used my acid free to adhere the majority of the paper and chipboard embellishments. To create more dimension to the layout I used my Helmar Scrap Dots. I just love that I can layer up the Helmar Scrap Dots to achieve whatever height I want. It was also fantastic to adhere the fine star shapes while still adding a little height to them. My favourite technique with the Helmar Scrap Dots is to layer it up reasonably high to give the element on the page, a look of ‘floating’ on the paper without the product standing out from underneath (always hard to photograph though).
Here is a more detailed shot showing some of the dimension that was achieved using the Helmar Scrap Dots.
I will have another post later this week as part of the Best Creations partnership celebrations showing some more use of the Helmar Scrap Dots on my layouts.
Some ask me how I get all these layouts into my albums (as I VERY rarely have a flat layout). I purchase pockets specifically for dimensional layouts and I also enjoy displaying them in open front frames (they are a little like shadow boxes) and just change them regularly. It is true that I don't fit as many layouts in an album, but that is my style of scrapping. If you are more of a 'flat' scrapper you can simply replace the Helmar Scrap Dots with Helmar 450 Quick Dry or Helmar Acid Free, with the only thickness being the paper on paper.
Well I hope you enjoyed my share… and now back to the Best Creations Celebrations!
