Have you tried UHU Twist and Glue?

if not you really should get a bottle. Recently UHU generously supplied a kit of goodies including the Twist and Glue adhesive in exchange for my opinion. Twist and Glue is really a great product that is easy to use. The top pops off to reveal a small dispensing tip, this tip is perfect when you need just a drop. But what if you need to smear glue all over a surface for better coverage? Well Twist and Glue has it covered, with just a quick twist of the area surrounding the dispensing tip a flat surface appears, just squeeze out some glue and get to smearing.

The glue works really well too. I was a bit worried since my bottle arrived during a deep freeze, with daily temps hovering at a balmy -20 degrees, but it doesn't seem to have affected it's performance.

I have had the product now about two weeks and there is maybe a 1/4 of the bottle left, so it has become my 'go to' glue. Things have really stuck, I haven't found anything that has come undone since using it, but the one drawback I have found is, like most liquid glues, papers warp or curl when applying full coverage.

This is a project I completed with the goodies UHU generously supplied with my sample bottle:

There were these neat little glass pebbles, the kind you would put in the bottom of a vase and some magnets. I attached collage sheet images from Vintage Twisted Papers (Charming Young Winged Beauties) to the back of each pebble with UHU Twist and Glue and allowed to dry. Afterwards I attached the magnet to the back of the image. After the adhesive had time to dry I popped these cuties up on the fridge. They are perfect for all the artwork the comes home each afternoon!

Seasonal Cards

Today's cards use the newest Seasons of Fantasy sheet #23.

These beautiful images are so easy to work with. All images are colored with pencils (Derwent and PrismaColor), while the color is still fresh I used a gummy eraser to smudge away the lines and blend. Each one was then trimmed out. A touch of clear glitter from a Sakura pen creates highlights on their hair.

This card uses DCWV Once Upon a Time papers for the base and backgrounds, the solid blue is a mica cardstock. The sentiment is a rub-on.

The image is matted on sheer pink mica paper and Club Scrap pink printed paper. The background paers are MM and Daisy D's, on a base of pink mica.

The Halloween themed card was created using printed papers, black cardstock, an Opaque White StazOn ink pad, orange brads and a white gel pen. After preparing the stamped image I matted it on black and doodled around her in a dot-dash pattern. I continued to doodle on the patterned paper for continuity. The phrase (from plate #20) was stamped using the white ink pad.

This card uses Daisy D's printed papers, red cardstock for mats and the base. The sentiment is a rub-on.

This card is made with DCWV Once Upon a Time papers, bronze mica cardstock, and wide bronze ribbon.
