Santa Fox

Happy Tuesday KaDoodle Bug fans, Cathy here to share a fun Christmas card I made using one KaDoodle Bug Designs FREEBIE files from last week.  Santa Fox was way too cute not to create a card with.

I used some of the Stampin Up Papers and some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, stamps from Close to My Heart and Tim Holtz distress inks.  The adhesives of choice was Helmar Craft Glue and Helmar fabric Glue

I hope you like this card and it will inspire you to create something with a KaDoodle Bug Designs file.

Have a Great holiday~ Cathy

Christmas treat box with Helmar

Happy Wednesday crafty friends.  Cathy here today posting for Helmar...I want to share with you a Chipboard container I decorated for the Holidays...

To start off... Here are 2 of the adhesives I will be using as well as the plain chipboard container..

Here are more of the products used..Craftwork Cards Christmas Cheer Ultimate Collection 

I started out by cutting some pattered paper to fit around the box and on the top of the lid..

The next step is to use the Helmar Craft Glue to hold the pattern paper on..

as well as the cover paper.

Below I used the Tim Holtz Distress ink ~ Vintage Photo, to ink around the edges to give it aged look.

One of my favorite adhesives I used next to glue on the lace ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon is Helmar Fabric Glue

next thing to do was use my Cricut cutting machine and cut out the KaDoodle Bug Designs SVG file!  Christmas Angel Bear and change it out a bit to work with this christmas box.  After each piece was cut, I inked the edges with  Tim Holtz Distress Ink... Rusty Hinge, and put pieces together with Helmar Craft Glue

To embellish I used Helmar Zap Dots to add dimension to the round pop out card stock pieces

Here is the project assembled..  Of course I had to add something for my sweet tooth!!

Here is the box closed...

Here is a side view...

I hope you enjoyed todays' project and that I have inspired you to get your craft on!!

Have a great crafty week!

Out Of This world

Out Of this world with Helmar

Hello crafty friends..Cathy here to share a post with you today using 3 wonderful Helmar products and an adorable SVG file from KaDoodle Bug Designs. 

I  decided to do a scrap lyout and started out by cutting out all the pieces of colored cardstock on my Cricut cuttingMachine of the Out Of this World file..

I used Helmar craft glue to put the pieces together, for the real small pieces I used a zig pen.

then I  cut out the big pieces for the base of the layout, and the larger elements.

  For the big  pieces I used Craft and Hobby PVA Glue 

The next pieces to add were the planets, and where I have the mats for the photo to be applied, I wanted to pop up the planets so they were not in the way of the photo, so I used the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots....

this is what it looks like before you add the image on top....

Here is what it looks like with the planet on the Liquid Scrap Dot...

The last element I added to the scrap page layout is some Ric rac and for that I used the Helmar Fabric Glue

and now for the finished project....

Supplies used:

Close To My Heart Cardstock

Helmar Craft Glue

Helmar Liquid Scrap dots

Helmar Fabric Glue

Studio Papers designer papers

Helmar  Craft and Hobby PVA Glue

Zig Pen

Cricut Machine

KaDoodle Bug Designd file

a little Frosty

Hello crafty friends. happy Monday to ya.  Can not believe we have gone through a week already in November.  I have been crafting every spare minute I can..  I have already done the annual craft I do each year, and decided not to do any others, going to concentrate of gifts for family and friends and selling to others.

This week I have been busy catching up on special orders and starting new snowmen..Not paper crafts, but just as fun.

The first one is a burlap snowman..no sewing.

Pattern from ~beeincreativewith miss

And the second one I did by hand sewing ,(could not find power cord to my sewing machine) but was not too hard... I also did not have any more felt hats, so I made a couple yoyos out of felt and made Earmuffs.

This one I saw some on etsy by Gingerberry creek and tried making my own..

thanks for peeking in, please leave some bloggy love!!

Halloween with Helmar

Happy Halloween everyone!!!  Cathy here today to share a project I made using Helmar adhesives.  I have made some clear acetate pillow boxes for Halloween sweets..  These are great to give to those special little ones coming to your door on Halloween night.

Below is a picture of the supplies used to complete these little cuties:

1~Helmar Fabric Glue

2~Helmar Craft Glue

3~Helmar Super Tac Glue

4~ Helmar Permanent Adhesive Runner

Really Reasonable Ribbon

Tim Holtz distress inks

CTMH Cardstock

clear pillow boxes

CTMH inks and stamps

black micron pen/ white gel pen

Ka Doodle Bug Designs file~CC GOt Candy Ghost

To start off I cut pattern paper 1 and 1/2 inches by 8 inches and  another at 2 by 8, added the Helmar Runner adhesive to the thinner strip to stick to the 2 inch strip.

I used the Helmar Craft Glue to hold the strips onto the pillows...

Next I cut the pieces out from the KaDoodle bug Designs SVG file and layed out on the table to ink the edges with the Tim Holtz distress inks to give them dimension.

Then I assembeld them with a glue pen.

Here are the stamp sets I used for the tag I put on the pillows, on the back I stamped a spider and BOO on the front...

I then took out the ribbons and the Helmar Fabric Glue and glued the ribbon to the pillow paper wraps...

then the Boo tags were tied on with assorted colored twine from my stash...

Next I wanted to add the ghosts to the pillows and wanted to make sure they stayed attatched and so I used the Helmar Super Tac Glue..

Here they are all assembled,

and here they are with CANDY in them!!

I hope you like my Halloween goodie bag. and also that you have a safe night Trick or Treating..

Cathy
