Today's Moments - Helmar

Hello Helmar fans and welcome to my first design team post. How exciting is it to be with this wonderful company.
Today I am sharing a layout that I have created using 4 of the Helmar family of products.

Method
To start my layout base I have used the Helmar Acid Free Glue to adhere my papers together.

Then when it can to adhering the fabric lace into my layout I have used the fabulous fast drying Helmar Fabric Glue. 
 What an amazing product this is it is so quick drying and bonds securely.

Then as i moved into layering my embellishments i used a mixture of Helmar 450 Quick Drying Adhesive and Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots which provide awesome depth and dimension you can see from the below butterfly image how thick and firm the Scrap Dots are.



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.

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

Milestone Graduation Cards - Ruby Rock-It

Hello Ruby Rock-It fans, welcome to my blog post.  It is fast heading into the graduation time again for Universities and so I thought I would share some Graduation cards with you.

The Graduation Collection is perfect for making cards and a Graduation Passport..

   

Products Used:

GDN06 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Convocation,  GDN83 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Fractions,  Fundamentals 6x6 Stepper Cards & Envelopes,  A5 Stepper Cards & Envelopes 12.5x17.5cm, Tim Holtz Ink, Tim Holtz Brad, String. 

Method:

Using a Gold A5 Fundamentals card, I have taken the GDN06 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Convocation and cut a piece that is 20cm x 15cm and have ensured I have the words I wanted on the front. I have then folded it at 10.5cm.  See below image. 

I have then taken the GDN83 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Fractions and cut the image of the mortar board from the sheet and adhered it to the inside of the card as per the below image. Then I have cut the word Believe from the same sheet and adhered it onto the mortar board image also. 

I have also taken a small piece of scrap paper and made a tab which I have attached to the front with a brad.

I would then use this after graduation to attach an image of the student, as a lasting memory.   

I have then attached this whole piece to the front of my card so that the card has multiple pages and is interactive.

 

Then on the inside of my card I have lined it with GDN06 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Convocation.  Next I have added the words and trophy.

For my second Graduation Card I have used a Fundamentals 6x6 Stepper Card 

I have used the GDN06 - Bella Mini Theme Graduation Convocation to cut the above pieces on the front of my card.   I have also used some string on this card.

On the inside I have taken a quote from the same piece of paper and adhered to the inside.

Lest we Forget

Hello Ruby Rock-It fans, welcome to my blog post today I am sharing with you a layout I have created in memory of the ANZACS to create this layout I have used a mix of pattern papers from different ranges.  

ANZAC day is a special time all Australians as we celebrate the those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to enable us to have our freedom.

Products Used:
Magic and Wonder MAW60 - Mini Themes Magic & Wonder Stripe, Doodles DLE69- Paperworld Doodles Design 4, Doodle DLE83- Paperworld Doodles Design 6, White Cardstock, Ink from Tim Holtz in Weathered Wood and Grey, Light and Dark grey Inks and a brayer, Black and Red Stabello pencils, Fude Ball Pen in Black and a White pen. 

Method:

Take your white cardstock and Inks 

Ink around lightly with the Smokey Grey and then reink the edges with the Weathered Wood ink.

Then I took the Doodles Stripes I have cut one inch off 2 sides to make it 11 x 141 inches and adhered it to the center of the white cardstock with the back being the upside the back. I have then applied 3 dots in random ares of both paints

Then using my brayer I have spread the paint over the page it wont go all the way to the edges nor will it be a total coverage. 

I have then used a long stamp to add some marks to the edge of the paper see the below image.

I have then added some random circular stamping followed by some long stamping.

I have then take the other Doodle Papers and torn off some 1.5 inch wide strips that are approx 6 inch and 5 inches long and I have then cut a white photo mat and adhered these after inking the edges to my page.

  

I have then taken a Fude ball pen and gone around the edge of the Doodles Stripe paper

I have also then gone around the paper edges with the fude ball pen and then on the black paper with a white pen.

I also have then added some metal elements to my page along with a small piece of the Crafters Choice Bling.

At this stage I have also used my Red and Black Stabello pencils to highlight the edge stamping and the photo mat.

TI have then added my photo to complete my layout.
