classic white...



School has begun here and back to daily uniforms for my little men. Each day they choose from red, green, blue or white polo shirts and shorts. My favorite, if I had to choose...the classic white polo shirt. There is something about those shirts that make me want to buy out the store and keep a stock pile at home. Sure...they don't stay that way for long (although thank goodness for stain lifters!). To me, it is worth the five dollars that goes into each one. So as I send them off today, keeping my fingers crossed no finger painting takes place during this school day, I wanted to play with a few white trims and ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon on my project.The white satin ribbon stands out amongst the other colors so brilliantly. Added a little white lace and light blue pom pom trim.

A Great Adhesive for your Projects

Hi Everyone and welcome to Sundays on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. Just to let all of you hopefuls know, we will be announcing the Design Team on October 27th.

Today I've got a few projects to share using the Helmar Adhesives available at the Store. I, like many of you, had my go to adhesives that I thought worked for everything. I rarely strayed from those. Then I was given the opportunity to work with Helmar products and I'd never go back. First a project showing you the Zapdots. You can achieve a similar look by using Pom-Pom and Crochet Lace for the trim.



Zapdots is the perfect dimensional dot for all of your crafty needs. They come in 3 colors (black, white and clear) 2 different sizes and 2 different shapes. These little dots have serious sticking power, so try some the next time you grab some amazing ribbon from the store.



Next a project that focuses on the Liquid Scrap Dots. Many of you know that I call this stuff Heaven in a Tube and I tell ya, it is a fitting name. This card also uses the Jute String in White


Look at all of the different layers that are created. All you have to do is add Liquid Scrap Dots onto a piece then press down to the dimension you need. Easy Peasy. Here is a different projects close up, so you can see the true dimension that Liquid Scrap Dots creates.


And lastly, the best way to adhere ribbon to a project is with Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner. Super easy to use and it has a very strong hold. When I create pleating on my projects with ribbon, this is the product I use. This card also used the 1 1/4" Black Silk Ribbon.



Take a look at the Helmar projects that we carry. Try them and you will see that they are a staple for your crafting space. Thanks for stopping by today.
