I made my project, which is a 12" x 12" scrapbook page of my daughter , for the Elmer's Crafters Challenge on the weekend. I have to say, I just loved the Elmer's and X-Acto products! I was at a weekend Scrapbooking retreat and ended up using the Products extensively ... Here's what I used on this particular page:
Elmer's Craft Bond Permanent Tape runner - I am giving this tape runner a full 5 stars. It sticks, it works, it does everything it is supposed to do and best of all it is refillable ... I used most of it up during the weekend, and yes it is just that good.
Elmers Craft Bond Glue Spots, Adhesive Squares and Wet & Dry dual tip glue pen. The glue pen was another amazing product. I used it to glue the metal backed brad to the home made rayon fabric flower. It worked like a charm!
X-ACTO Designer Series 9" trimmer, precision scissors, cutting mat and craft knife. I have been looking for the perfect craft knife for years ... and I have finally found it ... this knife is so comfortable to grip and use and sharp! cuts like a charm!
Overall I was totally impressed with all of the products ... these products work ... the adhesives stick, they do what they promise ... the cutting tools were amazing as well. I highly recommend all of these products
I liked these products so much i ended up using them on all of my other weekend projects.
So here it is ... a simple layout ... but using pretty papers by The Girl's Paperie, with lots of hand cutting.
The generous prize packages will include the following:
X-ACTO:
4-pack Decorative Edge Scissors
Self Healing Mat
Retractable Craft Knife
Craft Swivel Knife
CraftBond:
Scrapbooking Tape: Repositionable
Extra Strength Glue Stick
Wet & Dry Dual Tip Glue Pen
Permanent Tape Runner
