A Merry Christmas

Hello Helmar fans its Kim again today on the blog.
Today I am sharing a LO I have created using a photo on my beautiful Billy an Australian Brumby from the Australian High Country.

80967286_559065514933032_1437249224365309952_n

I have used today my wonderful Helmar 450 Glue for all of the LO it sticks and holds everything with just the smallest amount. If you look closely you will see the glue .

80822739_797382770725848_3305153234657607680_n

I have used the Helmar 450 Glue to completely adhere the  elements of the LO.

Billy was an orphan foal and taken in by the Hoofs2010 Brumby Rescue team.
A bit about Hoofs2010, while saving Brumbies headed for slaughter, we are also working toward providing plans to government for environmentally sound, cost effective and humane solutions to ensure Brumby numbers are sustainable in the wild and most importantly their removal from the Feral Animal Register.
We are also working toward building a working station where visitors can come spend time with the Brumbies we have rescued and work with and eventually be able to be hands on with the Brumbies in residence so visitors can experience the satisfaction of helping to protect the horses that helped to build our country.
We are currently working on compiling factual studies on the exact numbers in the areas we are dealing with along with the actual environmental effect of the Brumbies in these areas. Hoofs2010 is a registered non for profit organisation.

I hope you have like my LO to day and would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Helmar

Hi Helmar fans, most of us now are in full swing for Christmas with shopping, food planning and gift buying. Today I am sharing my 2019 family photo memory file.

Cover

I have created this using a very original raw chipboard Heidi Swapp Memory File. I start by paint the cover  with black paint.

78692556_508828710018729_7702317233061494784_n

I then started sponging Red and Lime paint over the cover then I used stencils and white and red paint as well as posca pens in black and white to splatter and some gold paint with scrunched paper. When this was completely dry I spray with Helmar Crystal Kote to protect the paint work.

78378751_585053198919361_9059126723609624576_n

I then used Helma Spray Adhesive to adhere my pattern paper to the inside cover giving a solid smooth finish.

Inside covers start

I then started layer my other pattern papers into the folder using the Helma Craft and Hobby PVA Glue, when using glue on paper you only need a very small amount.

and then I just kept layering

The finished inside came up a real treat and is now just ready for a 2019 photo

And the finished front cover

Helmar Design Team upload

Hello Helmar fans and welcome to my design team post. I hope you are all staying nice and warm with temperatures plummeting in Australia, it is great weather to stay indoors and work on projects we have all got banked up.

I have spent some time working on what you can use the Crystal Kote Fixative Spray 400g for and, have found that it is designed to be able to be used on many various medium watercolour, Chalks, Pastels, Crayons plus other surfaces.
Crystal_Kote_Fix_4ee55cd89d4e7
It is used to protect the medium you have used it is acid free, prevents yellowing  and anarchically safe. My guess would be that you could possibly preserve newspaper articles with it.
The product is very simple to use  simple work in a well ventilated area (worked outside) and spray lightly over your project and that is all there is to do.

The image below is of a Pan Pastel project from a Stencil Girl, stencil designer that I have completed and found that the pastels just don't set as they are a powder type product a light spray of the Crystal Kote and no more are the pastels coming off on everything.

My next creation that I have used the Crystal Kote on was a watercolour and ink project and you can not even see that it has been sprayed with the Crystal Kote what should happen here is that the colour of the watercolours will now be preserved and not fade over time.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog post share and the information on Crystal Kote, if you would like have further information on creating with this product please contact myself or Helmar!

On the Boardwalk - Helmar Design Team

Hello Helmar fans and welcome to my design team post. The theme I am doing to day is summer, I have a real passion for the papers from Graphic 45 and felt that the On the Board Walk range would be just beautiful for my photo from Hobart.

My layout today uses 3 of the Helmar family of products.

67868263_1253969784783228_8367387726231633920_n

Method
To start my layout base I have used the Helmar Scrap Dots to adhere my frame to my adhere my papers together.

68585247_2404925249744060_721183940244668416_n

I have then taken the paper I am using to layer my background and started adhering to my page using
Helmar Acid Free Glue 

68247350_477219862841385_3730772240149512192_n

Then as I moved into layering my embellishments I used a mixture of Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots and Helmar Acid Free Glue which provide awesome depth and dimension you can see from the below butterfly image how thick and firm the Scrap Dots are.

67590221_464040537778539_1031848734469652480_n 67870921_784963308587988_5759574031816720384_n

When Adding my photo I decided to see what the Helmar Foam Glue was like and have used that on my photo. I would say it is just as good as any of the Helmar products for using.

67641058_408605543105024_4246887104216301568_n

As I continued to layer my embellishments I have continued using the above glues.
You can see the dimension these glues have allowed in  the below image.

67590221_464040537778539_1031848734469652480_n

When adding my title to my layout I have used the Helmar Acid Free Glue to adhere you can see from the below image how little you need to apply and it dries clear.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog post share, if you would like have further information on creating this layout please contact me. Kim
