Robins Nest Blog Hop



Welcome!

 What a fun event....Helmar and Robins Nest.

 You have Just come from this Amazing Blog.......
http://brookegorrell.blogspot.ca/

 Hi, I am Lydell Quin and I design for Helmar.


I Created these Christmas Gift Tags with the help of Helmar and Robins Nest Products.  I managed to get hold of these Dew Drops from Robins Nest a while back.....and I am in LOVE.  They go hand in hand with Helmar's Gemstone Glue.


These were really fun to create, and very easy.  I just cut strips of heavy Printed paper, so they would be quite sturdy.  My strips were 2 inches by 4 inches.  I then glues these back to back with Helmar 450 Quickdry, allowing a good strong hold with no warping of the paper.  Then I inked front and back to soften the edges.

 I dipped the edges of each tag in embossing ink and then embossed with Shimmerz Enamelz, then I arranged my embellishments on each tag.  Some die cut leaves, a leafy swirl and flowers with some other embellies mixed in.  Now comes the Robins Nest Dew Drops.  I am seriously addicted to these.  They go perfectly in the centre of tiny flowers and as little accent spots filling out a flower arrangement!






So thats my projects today, using these two companies products.  Hand in hand!

So to be in with a chance to win one of the many giveaways Helmar and The Robins Nest are offering,  leave a comment for a chance to win a $10 Helmar voucher or a $10 Robins Nest voucher and 2 grand prizes of either a $20 Helmar Gift Certificate or a $20 Robin's Nest Gift Certificate.

    Your tags are just gorgeous Lydell. I love the way you have embossed the edges and can totally relate to your addition to the dew drops. I particularly love the way you have created your flowers with them. Beautifully done! xx

    lydell, beautiful tags. using helmars glue to back the tags with pp is wonderful. Helmars would hold the papers well. Your designs and use of the dew drops are lovely...

    Tags are beautiful mini works of art. YOurs are gorgeous. Our grand daughter was 2 last Christmas so I did photos of the "to" and "from" people, so she would know who gave her what gift as she doesn't read yet. They were a big hit and so cute I did them for everyone. This year something a little more elegant like yours might be a good choice, although a picture would still be wise on hers.
