Altenew Sticky Essentials Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)
Hello everyone, and thank you so much for joining me today! I am so excited to share my projects with you! This hop began at the Altenew Card Blog, and you should have arrived from the blog of Laurie Willison.
I am so excited to be part of this amazing hop celebrating one of my favorite product lines at Altenew! For my project I ended up using three different adhesives, 2 in 1 precision glue pen, instant dimension foam tape and my absolute favorite EVER glue tape pen.
The card panel started as an extra piece of cardstock I used while I splattered Jet Black spray onto another project. It was too gorgeous not to use, but needed something. That is where the 2 in 1 precision glue is the hero of the card. I wanted to add small splatters to mimic what I had on the card. I squeezed a dollop of glue onto a stamping block and then used a paintbrush to splatter the glue onto the panel. Once I was done splattering I added Antique Gold embossing powder and heat set. You can also squeeze this glue onto your project and let it dry as it will become tacky. This glue pen is definitely a work horse in your craft space – and a super great price point!
My sentiment is the Mega Hello die cut with Jet Black and Gold Foil cardstock. I offset the Jet Black cardstock in the back of the Gold Foil. I love using my glue tape pen on projects like this. It allows me to pull up my paper if I have adhered it crooked. Once this glue tape dries, it is super strong and permanent! This adhesive is great for holding things temporarily or permanently due to the pattern in the adhesive.
The final adhesive used in the Altenew adhesive trifecta is the amazing Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I may have a reputation for using LOTS of this! I had once card panel sink 27 years ago and have sworn it will never happen again. I trimmed my tape to fit behind my sentiment and adhered the project all together. Voilà!

Lovely card! That is such a cool tip regarding the glue spatter. I’m going to have to try it.

Glue pen is my favorite!
A wonderful CAS design Bridget. I love the dimensional tape too. I have not tried the tape runner yet but I am sure I will get addicted to using it. I have mixed feelings about the glue pen, mine did not work. After I followed AN’s happiness team recommendations to no avail , I poured the glue on a different applicator and LOVED the glue, I might give the pen another try in the future. Thanks for the inspiration!
So elegant!
Love the Mega Hello in gold!
I didn’t know that the 2-in-1 glue could also be used for embossing – great tip, thanks!
