Tuesday Tool - Stampin' Up! Two Way Glue Pen (Never Be Afraid To Use Glitter Again!)

Good Morning Everyone! Today's Tuesday Tool is the Stampin' Up! 2-Way Glue Pen. Small and portable, the 2-Way Glue Pen is excellent for adhering Glitter and paper. When applying it to a project, the adhesive is temporary when allowed to dry before adhering or permanent when adhered promptly.

Features & Benefits

•  Permanent or temporary bond
•  Dries quickly Great for adhering glitter
•  Blue when wet; clear when dry 
• 10 grams
•  Chisel tip 
• Washes off skin with soap and water 
• Acid free

Quick Trick

Need a temporary bond for a stencil or mask? Or do you need a permanent bond for a card or page? Look no further than the 2-Way Glue Pen.

1. Wet bond (permanent bond): While the glue is still blue and wet, immediately make the bond. Use a wet bond when you apply glitter.

2. Dry bond (temporary): Apply glue lightly and wait for the adhesive to dry (it will become clear). Use this method when masking or positioning stencils. When you are finished, you can remove the bond easily.

FYI

To start the 2-Way Glue Pen, push the tip in a few times and allow the glue to saturate the tip (the tip will turn blue). Always replace the cap after use.

Make It Monday - Stampin' Up! Polka Dot Pieces Convention Card Candy Swap (#inspirecreateshare2014)

Good Afternoon Everyone! My Make It Monday share is Card Candy I created for a Swap during the  Stampin' Up! Convention 2014. For those of you who are not familiar with this, Card Candy is card stock and embellishments that you can attach to cards, scrapbook pages and other paper craft projects. It is the equivalent to Jolie's Boutique that you find in local craft store. I used the Stampin' Up! Polka Dot Pieces and Papillion Potpourri stamps sets for my individual pieces. These sets have coordinating paper punches which made assembling them very easy. Accordingly, I embellished with a variety of pearls. This swap was so much fun and I love every one's creations! I will post the Card Candy I received later on this week!
