Ribbon Carousel and HELMAR Blog Hop



Today the Helmar Design Team are teaming up with the designers at Ribbon Carousel, to bring you a jam packed Hop filled with crafty goodness!  

Ribbon Carousel has some wonderful ribbon organizers and that is how this amazing company started. Today, we get to feature some other wonderful products that they carry, so hop along with us and have fun.

What does one do with black and orange ribbon? Hmmmm....let me see...oh yeah...HALLOWEEN! Let me share with you today 3 very quick projects utilizing ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and HELMAR Adhesives.


The 1st project is a card created from the former House of 3...a digital Halloween card. Once printed out I attached the card to solid card stock using Helmar Acid Free Professional Glue. I then pleated a gorgeous butternut squash colored sating ribbon and attached it to the card using Helmar 450 Quick Dry...you do know that it will not discolor your ribbon which makes it a perfect choice for a card.


A small canvas was created from a Tattered Angels chipboard card that was misting with Tattered Angels Cinder Glimmer Mist and Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. I attached 3 ribbons utilizing Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and Helmar Zap Dots in medium and small to apply the Tattered Angels Halloween calling cards. The buttons and alphabets utilized Helmar Zap Dots to complete the canvas


The last project really is just a quick way to utilize left over ribbon and dimensional stickers. I folded over the fabulous orange grosgrain ribbon and closed it with a dab of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, then added the 3 stickers and a button and plastic spider with the same 450 Quick Dry. A fun little wall hanging I'm sending to my grandson.


Now, lets talk prizes!   

Hop along with us today and leave some blog love for our The Designers of Helmar and Ribbon Carousel for your chance to win!!
The Helmar prize is a complete 12 pack of Zap dots, including clear, black and white in circles and squares both in 1/4" and 1/2" sizes!
