Especially for You (Stamping Bella & new X-Press It Adhesives)

Posted on November 27, 2015 | 2 comments

TGIF! I’m so happy it’s Friday, and even happier that it’s time to finish decorating and turn on the Christmas lights! So exciting!

This week the Stamping Bella team is sending holiday wishes. I’ve used my favorite (so far) of Stamping Bella’s holiday images, Tiny Townie Ellie the Elf. She has a coordinating Cut It Out die but I didn’t use it today.

After stamping onto X-Press It Blending Card, I colored with Copic markers then added scattered white dots to a couple of the gifts using a White Pearl Kirarina Wink pen.

Copic markers – E00, E11, E31, E35, E37, E40,E42, E43, G07, G09, G28, R01, R02, R81, R83, R85, RV32, W00, W1, W2, Y21; Kirarina Wink White Pearl

To adhere the wooden snowflake, I used my new “go-to” adhesive, Clear Gel Glue from  X-Press It. Clear Gel Glue works perfectly with wood, paper, cardboard, leather, metal, foam, broken ornaments (hmmmm) and more.

Here’s a bit more about it:

  • 4.25oz (It will last quite a while!)
  • Acid-free
  • Non-toxic
  • Flexible
  • Thick gel
  • Dries clear
  • Strong grip
  • Water-based
  • Low stringiness
  • Excellent holdout
  • High solid content
  • Extra-fine applicator
  • Professional quality adhesive
  • Fast drying on porous surfaces

To adhere the super sparkly Swarovski crystal to the center of the snowflake I used an X-Press It Fine Glue Pen. The tip looks just like a pen, which is perfect for applying dots or thin lines of adhesive.

Also available are a Medium Glue Pen as well as a Wide Glue Marker. Here’s a look at the tips. (Great variety of tips to have on hand!)

Next week’s challenge with Stamping Bella is free form. No sketch. Just use any current Stamping Bella image. Then email your card to Emily by next Thursday to be entered to win some Bella Bucks!  (All challenge details can be found HERE.)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
