To create this layout of my nephews baptism, I used the following adhesives:

The glue glider pro is a no-brainer when creating layouts. I'm still undecided on what adhesive I prefer, the High Tac or the Perma Tac. Both are great for paper projects.

For larger pieces of die cut paper, The Extreme Adhesive Squares is a quick and easy way to stick the die cut pieces in place.


When cropping (as I was when creating this layout), the Gluedles and crop & glue high tack pack are excellent to bring along in the cropping bag. The sizes of the boxes are handy, especially the crop & glue pack w/3 different sized adhesives.

Least but not last: I'm going nowhere without a sheet of U Cut it!

Be sure to stop by the Lily Bee blog to see what they're up to with this sketch and how you can get involved!! Remember to use your GlueArts adhesives on your layout too!!

Quick and cute cards

GlueArts Designer: Ania Lexander

The Audrey collection makes quick and very cute cards for little girls methinks!
In the collection pack you'll have everything you need to whip up these two cards in no time... 

GlueArts Supplies:
Raisen's
U Cut It Foam
Extreme Adhesive Squares - large
Glue Glider PRO+ - perma tac

Nikki Sivils: Audrey collection pack


I can't resist sheets like this: Easy to cut out and easy to use as blocks for your card. For the first card I chose a cluster of blocks for my base, then found the same patterns on the sheet of paper and cut them out one by one. Mixing between GlueArts Raisen's and U Cut It Foam it gave the card variations on the dimension.


Usually I'd use the glue glider to adhere this block to the card, but because the dimensional front was already in place I opted for the extreme adhesive squares instead.


Finally - block letters allows this technique to be used - cut a long strip of U cut it foam, attach the letters to it then apply the whole title to the card.

Can you tell the gals have enjoyed working with Nikki Sivils product collections??!

We'd love for you to have a chance to work with the products too!
