Hi everyone! It’s Kate Vickers here today. I would like to show you how to create a pretty page title with the Round 25 Tool from Epiphany Crafts, Round 25 Bubble Caps, alphabet stickers, Helmar Scrap Dots and patterned paper. I used patterned paper and embellishments from Pretty Little Studio‘s Nature Walk Collection and the alphabet stickers are from Pink Paislee‘s Luxe Collection.
Here is my finished layout.
The glitter alphabet stickers from Pink Paislee are very flat, so they work amazingly well in the Epiphany Crafts tools. I borrowed this idea from Pink Paislee Design Team Member, Betsy Veldman, who created some amazing cards using a similar technique. You can see in the photo below that I overlapped my finished alphabets. I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue to adhere the ‘N’ to the page, as it’s lying flat. For the rest of the letters, I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. It’s a silicone-like dimensional adhesive.
Custom Alphabets with Helmar and Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Tool
- Apply a flat glittered alphabet sticker to patterned paper. I used Pink Paislee alphabet stickers from their Luxe Collection and patterned paper by Pretty Little Studio.
- Insert the patterned paper into the Round 25 Tool, centering the alphabet sticker in the circle, or for an equally great look, offset the alphabet to the side of the punch.
- Apply an Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Bubble Cap on top.
- Close the Round 25 Tool and press down firmly. I find that I like to stand up to do this when I have multiple layers inside the punch.
- Apply Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to the back of the finished bubble cap. I usually use about 1/4 tsp. when I’m overlapping Epiphany Crafts Round 25 Bubble Caps.
- Apply to your page.
Note that Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots take a very long time to dry, so this should be your very last step when you are using this product. Avoid moving your project around a lot while the Scrap Dots are drying to ensure that your page elements don’t move. If you are wondering why you would want to use this product over foam adhesive squares, it’s because it will handle uneven surfaces and multiple heights in a much more effective way. If you ever want to stagger the heights of elements on a project, this is a great way to do that.
Thanks for looking! Have a great week!
