Xyron and Core'dinations

Hello and Welcome to a fun week with Xyron.



Party Favors have truly taken center stage at parties and has given the cake a nudge.  So, today,  I would like the two party embellishments to share the spot light together. 


Lets start with quality Xyron Adhesive and the best cardstock on the market Coredinations.  I did some experimenting and found that if you pull a piece of the Xyron create a sticker  150 tape from the unit, trim a piece, pulled the tape from the white paper backing, you can make a circle tape to tack down any of your embellishments which I needed to do in this project.



Now, let get creative and design this pretty.

Now, look at how lovely the Couture Creations Embossing folder showcases the Core’dinations inner colored cardstock.



Adding some Graphic 45 papers to the top of the cake was a delight.  Tea anyone?


To complete the bridal presentation I made a card and decorated a candle holder to match the festive occasion.

 Try a cake box yourself, just google images and find a template of your liking and design away.

Here are the details about the September challenge
***
The nautical trend continues to be a hot one in the scrappy/paper crafting world so that’s the challenge. Create a layout, altered item, mini album, card or tag…. Whatever you heart desires with something on it nautical related. eg. a photo,  patterned paper, stickers, washi tape etc.. :) I only ask that the project is new as of September 1st. Please no back linking.

 I have made this card to celebrate their 1st challenge on their blog.  Since this is a celebration for owner Nicolle and family, I decided to try out all new things for the 1st time with this challenge.  I used the negative space of an old chipboard piece,  landscape inking techniques and designing the card as if looking through a natural landscape window.

Helmar Adhesive

Hello Welcome to Helmar Adhesive.  This is my first design team post that I wish to share with you as I start my design team term with Helmar.  Autumn is a wonderful time of year for many who have the opportunity to watch the magic of leaves that turn brilliant colors of yellow, orange and red.  Autumn is also the start of school routines, cozy sweater weather and lovely evening dinners.

To-day, I am sharing my Autumn by preparing for a Fall dinner.   



 Start with gathering your supplies and adhesive by Helmar. The burlap on this project is a real burlap seed bag from the farm.



Just a little of Helmar Scrap Dots holds the burlap in place.



Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive works great on the glass wine bottle.   



This  glue allows for a quick decorative moment as you go out the door to visit friends for dinner.




                   The leaves and buttons hold in place quickly with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

 Bon   Appetit  !
