Helmar Holiday Hop- HO HO HO!!!!

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun. 

How fitting of a song for the First Annual Helmar Holiday Hop. Filled with Christmas Cheer, holiday inspiration and prizes, prizes, PRIZES!!! I'm so happy that you stopped in today and if you have been following along you should have hopped here from Aymee's blog. I'm always so inspired by the work that  Aymee does and this holiday season is no exception. If you are just starting out, head on back to the Helmar Blog to follow along (and if you get lost along the way).

This holiday season I've done so many projects and I'd like to share a few of them with you that I've created using Helmar V2 Vellum Spray Adhesive and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. This is a little Picture heavy so get ready hehe.

First up a wooden project I created using a letter set from Say it With Letters. These are so stinkin fun to alter. All of the papers, flowers, embellishments and ribbons have been adhered to the letters using my favorite liquid glue known to man. Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive is truly a dream to work with.

I absolutely adore how this turned out and I just love the brown, red and green color combination. Let's take a closer look at a few of the letters.

I used a bunch of Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels on this piece. Suede and Tattered Leather. The roses are painted with Scarlet and the leaves with Key Lime Pie. These colors are repeated throughout the project. Yum Yum!!!

Now for my Quick and Simple project using Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive. I'm beyond excited to share these glass ornaments with all of you.

 So unbelievably simple to create too. First, grab yourself some inexpensive glass ornaments from Michaels, Hobby Lobby etc. Then you are going to spray the V2 Vellum Adhesive directly into the ornaments. Let them sit for a few minutes and then sprinkle glitter into the ornaments using a filter or a handmade paper cone. Swish glitter around then repeat with the next color! Easy Peasy right?

I love the Really Reasonable Ribbon for the bows. The perfect shades of Blue and Silver are available. 

And there ya have it. Two Holiday gift ideas using Helmar goodness. I bet Santa would love if I left him some Helmar Adhesive with a plate of cookies and something warm to drink. I'm sure the North Pole would switch to Helmar if they aren't using it in the toy factory already. Don't forget that we are giving away tonnes of prizes on the Helmar Facebook Page today and there are 3 amazing classes on U

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

4 Days of Christmas with Paris Creativity- Day 4

on the forth day of Christmas Paris Creativity gave to me....

Hi Everyone and welcome back to my little corner of the blogosphere. Today I will be starting to decorate the house with Christmas decorations and the kids are super dooper excited about it. Having a 3 and 6 year old is so much fun at this time of year. Everything is exciting, from Christmas lights, to trees, presents and the big jolly man himself.

Today I've got a card set to share with you all. I created it using Paris Creativity goodies and at the local craft fair a few weekends ago, it went in a flash. The box is decked out in papers from the Flashes and Stars Paper Pad. These paper pads are some of my favorites. With the colors and patterned, you can't help but get into that girly spirit. The ribbon is a beautiful White Sheer Ruffled Edge available at Really Reasonable Ribbon and I just love how you can see the design of the papers beneath it. Yummo!!!

I love all the little bling pieces that are available from Paris Creativity. A little sparkle for every occasion I think. Now on to the cards. What girlfriend wouldn't love a swanky pair of shoes? Thought the die cut dimensional sticker from the Shopping Fever Theme pack was perfect for this one. The ribbon is tied in a Dior bow. Easy peasy. Just cut 4 strips of ribbon from short to long. Add the longest to your card front. With the second and third longest pieces, create loops. Stack together and take the shortest piece and wrap around the middle of the loops. I think this bow is my absolute favorite.

Next a shopaholic card. Bag, Boots and Sunglasses. Charge it please.

This third card was super simple. Just a few layers, some border punches, a sheer navy ribbon and some bling.

And lastly, a bunch of shopping boxes filled with wonderful goodies for a BFF. Jen if you are reading this, I've just sent you this card over the internet lol. I added a little more oomph to the boxes by using some bling and stickles. The ribbon is pleated using Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive runner. Just lay a strip and start pleating. Doesn't get any easier right?

The perfect box of girlfriend inspired cards for that very special friend.

I have had such a great time Guest Designing for Paris Creativity and I want to send a HUGE thank you to Deb for letting me create with some truly feminine and funky products. I hope you have enjoyed my 4 days of Christmas with Paris Creativity.

Now I did say that there will be BIG news today. Tomorrow is the day I put up my Blogoversary candy. There are some wonderful things in the candy, and it will be open until January 5th My 2 year Blogging Anniversary. There is so much to give away that I'm going to do more than one prize.
