"An Adventure Together" Layout

GlueArts Designer:  Jaime Warren

Hi everyone!  Jaime Warren here with you today to share a layout I created using some fabulous Nikki Silvis & Glue Arts products!  

Supplies:

GlueArts Glue Glider PRO+

U Cut It Foam 

 
For this layout I pulled out my trusty and well loved stencil set and put the circle stencils to work!  I loved all of the different patterned papers and I wanted to be able to incorporate several of them on my layout.  The circles were the perfect way to do just that!  I started by creating a slightly off center design with my circles and then placed my photos in the middle of those.  I started attaching the smaller circles using both the Glue Glider Pro and U Cut It Foam.

I then cut several circles in half and attached them with U Cut It Foam to the sides of the layout.  I placed my title over my photos, in the center of my main design.  I loved all of the die cut pieces so I incorporated those by trimming them down and attaching to the sides of my layout.

 
After a few splashes of mist, I used my scallop punch to punch out my border and attached using my Glue Glider Pro. 

The final result:

 
 
I hope you enjoyed my project today!  Thanks for stopping by the Glue Arts blog!!

We Love to Laugh at GlueArts!

"I Love That Contagious Laugh Of Yours" 

GlueArts Designer: Jaime Warren

 

If there is one thing I love on my layouts it's dimension!  I absolutely love that Glue Arts has so many incredible products, like Raisens that help me get the dimension I desire.

 

For this layout I used a combination of Raisens and U Cut It Foam.  There were a couple of embellishments that I wanted just a little dimension and the Raisens were perfect.

 

I love layering my embellishments and making the top layer pop off the page.  I attached my mini banner flag using the Raisens and placed it on top of my doily/photo layer.  I then attached the bottom sticker with the Raisens.

  
I placed part of my title on top of the little banner and then started building more embellishments around my centered design.  I used PermaTac Minis to attach my vellum clouds to my layout.
 

 

I used the Raisens again on the cut out flowers around the edges of my layout.  They were perfect for slightly popping the flowers off of the doilies.  After finishing my title work I tucked a simple shipping tag behind the center doily for my journaling.

 
Thanks for stopping by the Glue Arts blog today - I hope you enjoyed my project!!

Brads- Pebbles

Ribbon- (blue dot) Hobby Lobby; (green stripe) Michael’s Craft store

Tool- Scor Pal Scoring Board

Quick instructions:

1. Make the box from a 10" square paper. Punch out a decorative edge on all sides (don't worry about the corners cause you'll cut those up). Score at 2 1/2" on all sides. Cut a slit on two sides to create the box. Use Perma tac adhesive to close it up.

3. Cut a 2 1/2" x 12" strip of paper. Punch a border on both long ends. Cut another strip of paper that is 1 x 12" in width, adhere to the center of the wider strip. Adhere the ends on the inside portion of the box to create the handle. 

4. Make two bows for each box from 3/4" wide ribbon. Adhere a brad on the center and adhere the bow on the front and back side of the box lining it up with the handle using Glue Arts Extreme square.

"Happy Easter Card" 

GlueArts Designer:  Jaime Warren
 
I openly admit that I always struggle when creating cards.  They just don't come easily to me.  Thankfully this one came together much easier than I anticipated!

Supplies:

GlueArts Glue Glider PRO+ 

PermaTac Adhesive

Mini Adhesive Squares Perma Tac

U Cut It Foam

 

Instructions:
To start I took three sheets of 6x6 patterned paper (trimming the top layer to fit in the center) and, using my Glue Glider Pro, attached all three together.  I then sewed the edges together, leaving an edge of about an inch and a half.  Once I was finished with my sewing I simply trimmed until I had the card to the preferred size.
  
 
I created a layering of embellishments, starting out with a doily.  I used my PermaTac Mini's to attach the doily.
  
 
I trimmed the second layer of my embellishment "stack"  out of patterned paper and attached it to the doily.  Then, using U Cut It Foam I attached my "Happy" sticker to the top.  I attached my butterfly to the outer edge of the "Happy" sticker.  Under the embellishment "stack" I used my letter stickers to finish the "Happy Easter" sentiment.
  
 
The very last step was to punch a scalloped border for the top and bottom of my embellishment "stack."  
  
 
I hope you enjoyed my little Easter card!!

Feeling Fabulous with Tsukineko and GlueArts!!

Fabulous Layout

GlueArts Designer: Jaime Warren

Glue Arts Products:

U Cut It Foam

Perma Tac Minis

Glue Glider Pro

Tsukineko products:

The Essential Glue Pad

Fireworks in Tuxedo Black

Fireworks in Bahama Blue

Hi everyone!!! Jaime Warren with you today to share a fun little layout using Tsukineko and Glue Arts products! Let me start by telling you how impressed I was with the Fireworks mists - WOW!!! Gorgeous, rich color and amazing sparkle. I loved them!

I decided to change up my layout size this time and went with an 8.5x11 instead of my typical 12x12. I love to change the sizes - it helps me when my creativity feels low. I layered my patterned paper over white cardstock (again, changed it up from my usual layering style!)

I adhered the two sheets using my Glue Glider Pro. Once attached I used the spray nozzle from the Tsukineko Fireworks and lightly dripped the mist in random areas around my layout. I let the first color dry and then did the same with the second color.

I then started attaching my photos and cut out patterned paper embellishments using the Glue Glider Pro and U Cut It Foam. I then started layering on my stickers using the U Cut It Foam. Once they were attached I used my paper piercer to make holes for my brads.

I cut out my little clouds from my vellum sheet and attached using Perma Tac Minis. I then used my finger to apply the Tsukineko Glue Pad to my clouds and covered them in glitter.

The next to last step is my journaling which I have "hidden" behind one of my photos. I used a simple shipping tag and then tucked it behind the photo! The finishing touch was layering the entire layout over my last piece of patterned paper - leaving the bottom larger than the rest for a "polaroid" feel!

The final result:

Thanks for stopping by everyone!!!

Make A Fun Album with GlueArts

Hi everyone!! 

Jaime Warren here with you today with a fun little project for that child or teen in your life!! My girls love to make paper bag mini albums for their personal albums - Jill for her American Girl dolls, Hailey for her animals, etc.

I start out by punching two holes in the paper bags, right along the edge. I layered each page with two different patterned paper sheets, attaching with the Glue Glider Pro. Using the U Cut It Foam I attached my embellishments giving them extra dimension. I used a combination of sticker embellishments, die cuts and chipboard.

 I will give my girls scraps and embellishments that I have purged from my stash to use in their albums. It's the perfect way to de-stash and help your kids get creative! The best part is that they can create one for anything and everything.

 My girls love going back through their albums, reading their journaling, looking at their photos. I love how inexpensive it is - if one page isn't quite turning out how they want, grab another lunch bag - easy peasy!

Supplies:

GlueArts Glue Glider PRO+ Perma Tac

GlueArts U Cut It Foam

GlueArts Adhesive Squares

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you guys have enjoyed this simple kids/teen project!! This can be made for boys...perhaps to scrapbook a baseball game they attended, or maybe they just finished a boy scout camping trip, photos from a favorite weekend...you name it!!
