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

  hope you like it and will head on over to the Helmar shop and check out all their amazing adhesive options!! have a great crafty day

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..

KBD Sailor Seahorses

Hello crafty Friends, and happy Spring to you all.  It is a lovely day out my window and I am thinking about sunshiny days I used to have at the beach and vacations in the past at the ocean.. I miss them.  Unfortunately those days are over for me and so I must reminisce.  In doing so I thought I would use KaDoodle Bug Designs newer file... Sailor Seahorses

I think this is just an adorable file..don't you??

I decided to go through my box of scraps (It is getting big) and put together a "Congratulations" card in Easel style..it is a 6x6 card....

One of my favorite colors from Close to My Heart  is Lagoon.  Purple and lagoon look good together don't you think?   If you think this file is as cute as I do..head to Melissa's shop and take a look around, she adds great files often!!

Thanks for looking..

Jelly Bellys

Good morning all, I am back!!  I have been on a little hiatus...hubby had a lot of doctor appointments and hospital stays. to keep me busy and when not taking care of him been babysitting, and of course housework.  But, I did manage to craft a little here and there, so happy for that.  With Valentines day come and gone, and Easter around the corner, I decided to make a few Easter treats to share as well as sell.   For these I used a few of the KaDoodle Bug Designs files listed below
Scales and Cotton Tales

Cute Little Bunnies

Eggie Buddies~Carrot Bunny

Shabby Winter Birds

I used mostly Close to my Heart cardstock, I love the colors.

I had some treat cups from Close to my Heart and punched the holes in the die cuts to add it and added Jelly beans and then a circle punch to cover the back of the cups.

I had such fun creating these , hope I inspired you to create some too.

Have a crafty day... Cathy
