Hello Hello!
Happy Thursday to you!
Today we bringing you not just ideas from the GlueArts blog but the Designers at Nikki Sivils have joined in too! It's one inspiring day!
Up first...Designer Lesley Langon has a unique layout...a little paint, some papers and adhesives and you have a masterpiece that could be hung on your wall! And Ania Lexander says congrats and more then one language with her fun cards! GlueArts U Cut It Foam give her cards just the right left to make them stand apart from all the others!
5. Adhere buttons and flowers with GlueArts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
6. Hand draw a string in the top left corner and adhere Nikki Sivils die cut paper banners to it.
7. Add journaling, brad and pearls.



Quick and cute cards
GlueArts Supplies:
Raisen's
U Cut It Foam
Extreme Adhesive Squares - large
Glue Glider PRO+ - perma tac
Nikki Sivils: Audrey collection pack

I can't resist sheets like this: Easy to cut out and easy to use as blocks for your card. For the first card I chose a cluster of blocks for my base, then found the same patterns on the sheet of paper and cut them out one by one. Mixing between GlueArts Raisen's and U Cut It Foam it gave the card variations on the dimension.

Usually I'd use the glue glider to adhere this block to the card, but because the dimensional front was already in place I opted for the extreme adhesive squares instead.

Finally - block letters allows this technique to be used - cut a long strip of U cut it foam, attach the letters to it then apply the whole title to the card.

ReplyDeleteThey have really nice papers, I can tell. Very cute. But I'm always impressed that the papers and embellishments stay put. I LOVE good adhesive (no, I'm not sucking up!)
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought to use a spiral blossom as an embellishment without rolling it into a flower! Wonderful! Love those cards, too. thanks so much for the opportunity to win some beautiful papers!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! these are wonderful. I love the layout ideas from the painting to using the spiral blossom as an embellishment instead of a flower is so cool. And the use of Glue Arts foam is so cool. Haven't had a chance to try that yet. These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteGreat projects once again. You all never, ever disappoint with your creative minds.
How fun is the collection set, but these darn glue products are just TDF. I need a Glue Glider PRO. What a great product.
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to have one in my craft area. Julie has me hooked on the Zip Dry, but I know this would be great for embellishments.
Many hugs and much love, Sherry
great projects - I am sure the glue glider would make card making very fast.
