I received two sets of stamps to play with, fanicful frames and smitty's abc's, a perfect pairing I must say!! What I decided to do was to make a super easy quick little mini book featuring my granddaughter Jenna's birthday party! What helped me make up my mind was the Pink Paislee Soire paper I recieved, another Helmar preferred partner. I decided to use the stamps to emboss, on black cardstock:
I have to say I was very impressed with the detail I got from the stamps while embossing! I stamped the frame image on black cardstock and then cut out the frame and adhered with Helmar ZapDots, the 1/4 inch squares, which gave it the perfect dimension!
I made the book itself from just 2 sheets of paper, cut to 3 x 12 and glued together with Helmar Acid Free Glue!
The Helmar Acid Free glue is my go to glue when I am making mini books, goes on smooth and doesn't wrinkle or warp the papers!
I just love how the black embossed frames really made the photos from the Cosmic Bowling party stand out!!
I did a bunch of fussy cutting of flowers and adhered them with the Helmar 450 Quick Dry...my favorite glue of all!!
And as easy as that Jenna has a great little keepsake from her 7th birthday to put away in her memory box......thanks Helmar and Lawn Fawn, I sure enjoyed working with both products!!
Be sure to check back to the blog alot this week to see many more projects with our preferred partner, Lawn Fawn!!
