Rose Art from an Altered Hard Back Book

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to write about outside inspiration. This post though it has a project made from Helmar is not my personal original idea. I found this idea on Pinterest, the link was a general link to a photo blog (not to an exact post) I spent hours trying to find this original artist because I found their work so intriguing. Alas... nothing was found and my life and family demanded me to return from cyberspace.



This book page rose is called "altered book art" it is a simple form of the art and if you ever want to see very extremely detailed pieces just Google the quote above and look at the images. With all this said this has been a very popular piece at in my window display I design for a local book store.
It was all created with a little distressing ink, one hard back book, Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Liquid Scrap Dots.



Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed this little post about this project I couldn't get out of my mind. Hats off to the person out there who thought of doing this with a book. You inspired me, whoever you are!

Love framed art with one Spellbinder die and Helmar

Here is a little project to share on Valentines day! I so just love this one. It was made from one Spellbinder die set, the pear. I used the bottom of each pear to make the petals of the rose and the background with the book pages. Helmar 450 Quick Dry is the key adhesive to this project and I just love how it's holding up. I used Helmar Gemstone Glue and a brush to paint the white chipboard frame and then glittered it. 

 Have a Happy Helmar Valentines Day Everyone!

Valentines day Cards made with Authentique Paper, Book Pages and Helmar Adhesives

Dear readers,

Thank you for stopping by today! I am so happy I get to share with you some unique valentines day cards i created for CHA. Helmar adhesives were used to create these and they were displayed in the Helmar booth. Happy Helmar Day!

 

The photo above used Authentique papers ... LOVE IT! I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry on the ribbon trim and Zap Dots for the layers on the heart and Happy Together sticker.

 

I just love the idea of the "One and only Love" implied here! The pink twine is from May Arts. Each hart has a Helmar Zap Dot behind it to bring dimension to the card.

This "Love" card was created with men in mind. Once again Authentique Papers were used with Tim Holtz stamps. Once again These L O V E stickers were raised with Helmar Zap Dots and the book pages were adhered with Helamr Permanent Adhesive Runner

 

 Authentique paper is stunning with these tangerine poppies and the teal. The Helmar 450 Quick Dry was used for the ribbon and to secure the sticker saying. Helamr Permanent Adhesive Runner was sued for the Poppy paper and some Helmar Acid Free Glue around the fussy cutting of the poppy paper.

Leave a comment below to let me know if you like them or if you have any Valentines cards that you want to share leave a link for me to check them out! Have a wonderful day!

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue...

I've heard it's been said, Helmar 450 is... THE GO TO GLUE!

Hello everyone!

It's me, Grace. I am back today to show you a paper rose tutorial. This is one of my favorite flowers to create. I love making these for altered items or hair pieces etc. I thought I would show you how to make this style of spiral rose because the key to a good end result is biased on the glue you use! Guess what? Helmar 450 is the go to glue to use!

Don't they look great? I love how they turn out and how easy they are to create with Helmar 450!

Hope you all have a happy Helmar weekend and get that 450 out and make something fun!
