Hi Helmar Fans, Vicky blogging today to show you various ways I've been using the acid-free glue. First up, I created these pretty little kirigami boxes and cards using the new Spring Paisley collection from Meg's Garden and from some help using Helmar's Acid Free glue. There are so many uses for this glue but I decided to use it here in a less traditional way. It really worked great to hold my boxes and embellies together!
Here is a close-up of of one of the gift set that I played up the peach and cream in the paper.
Here is a close-up of where I brought out the darker red and pink in the paper. Loads of Helmar Acid-Free holding this project together!
The great thing about kirigami boxes is that they are just as pretty on the inside. Since they are folded, it means they are sturdy too due to several paper layers. My tutorial on how to create these boxes can be found archived on my blog HERE.
Here are a few more great ways I have recently used the acid-free glue so far this month…
1. To cluster flowers around images. Please note this project was created using Pion Design papers and vintage images for breast cancer awareness as a cross promotion between Helmar and http://blog.craft-e-corner.com. Many awesome PINK projects created by the Helmar Design Team will appear on this site. Pink just happens to be my favorite color to scrap with too. All of the flowers are from Green Tara.
2. To adhere large and small pieces of chipboard (frame) onto a layout about my two boys (when they were toddlers). This layout was created with the September Swirlydoos kit and chipbord from my stash.
3. To layer images onto paper and chipboard on this layout of my daughter and I (she fell asleep on me duting a photo shoot when she was 9 months old). This layout was created using 2Crafty chipboard as well as the September Swirlydoos kit.
Thanks for joining me today!
