Beachy Tag and lots of Helmar

Hi its me, Veronica. I am so excited to share with you my project using Helmar adhesives and also some awesome Trinity Paper Arts!

I have been using Helmar for a long while and used the Quick Dry 450 liquid adhesive and the Quick-fix permanent adhesive today. I also used my favorite beach paper from Trinity Paper Arts; Surf N Swim.

The first thing I did when making my beachy tag was to cut several layers of the Surf N Swim and adhere it to my tag using the Helmar adhesive runner.

I then added a some gesso to my tag before using the liquid Helmar 450 Quick Dry to adhere my chipboard palm tree. This adhesive is all I use when adhering elements like my seashells, chipboard or buttons.

Hope you enjoyed my show and tell for today.  Happy Scrapping!

Canvas Corp makes great flower pins!

Hi everyone~thought I would show you a quick and beautiful pin to make for your handbag or sweater.

Canvas Corp does all the hard work for you. The flowers are ready to go, just need a little embellishing!!!

I just get out all my odds and ends and cluster them in the center.  I use Helmar 450 Quick Dry glue on these.  They take no time at all to make~and so fun!!!

I gave the black one to may daughter-in-law and I'm keeping the green one.  I have a jacket that it will look great on this winter.

I'm sure I will find places for all them!!!  Check out Canvas Corp. The flowers come in so many colors and they look fabulous on caps !!! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!! by: Connie

Art folders again~

Hi everyone!!! I want to show you the last two Art folders using  Authentique bi-fold cardstock like papers. These are easy to make~Authentique does the work for you because they are 12"x24" and scored to be folded and all you do is glue the sides together..

I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to glue the sides together. Easy!!!

I used some Jillibean Soup on this along with Vintage Street Market and American Crafts! Here is another one~

When they get full I will make them another one.  These will fit just fine in a page protector and stored with my other pages in an American Crafts 3 ring binder album.

Thanks for stopping in today and have a good one. See ya soon!! by: C. Mercer

Art folders~

Hi everyone!! I wanted to share with you some Art folders I made, for my grands, using the bi-fold cardstock paper by Authentique. I love how they turned out and they are perfect for holding all those cute little drawings you can't bring yourself to throw away. Hope you like~

I used different border punches to jazz it up a bit and even used the Authentique label strip on the award emblem.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to seal the outside edges.

I added an old milk cap to the award emblem~perfect!! Here is another one~

The design is close to the same but just a few things different.  I did four of these.  I'm going to start another one for all of my Spurs memorabilia I seem to be acquiring!!

The shiney paper on this one is by Vintage Street Market.  I have two more of these and I will post them next week. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.  See ya soon!! by: C. Mercer

Recycle those product containers~

Hi everyone!!! I love to recycle and I love to make little gifts out of packaging that I would normally throw away.  It saves me money and it is handmade!!! I used this from the tape packages and made some Valentine treats and birthday treats

The paper is by Paper Studio and I turned to Prima, Jenni Bowlin and Epiphany Crafts for embellishments. Helmar 450 Quick Dry was the glue I used.

The quick way to do this is cover the insert with pattern paper, fill with treats and you are ready to decorate the front. Add some ribbon and a tag and you have just made a handmade gift!!!

This set is made out of Vintage Street Market products.  They are so cute and kids love them!!!

Hope you will try this ~ let me know what you come up with!!! See ya soon!
