I have received 3 emails this week asking what adhesives to use for punch art. I have already responded to these sweet ladies but I'm guessing that there might be more of you out there that are wondering but haven't asked the question.
I use Stampin' Up!'s MINI GLUE DOTS for 99% of my punch art.
I love those rascals and buy a dozen boxes at a time. And when I get down to the last four boxes I place an order because I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THEM.
OK, maybe I could still breath and my heart would still beat, but I'd be a very unhappy puncher.
If something is too narrow for the mini glue dot - I just take my stubby little finger and roll the dot up to a narrow wad of adhesive. I'm tellin' ya - this works for most things.
When I get really detailed and have a tiny piece (maybe an earring or belt loop) I will bring out my glue pen.
I throw my punch characters in a box (don't worry, they party happily in there) or leave them piled on my desk for weeks at a time - They are treated roughly and they stay put together. Glue Dots are WONDERFUL and I think you should place an order today. (With me, if you'd like.)
And the tease is.... Stampin' Up! is bringing out even MORE new punches. YES! It is true!!
I took a peek at the new Holiday Mini Catalog (coming in September) and saw new punches. PLURAL!!!!!!
Not a new punch - new PUNCHES. Isn't that AWESOME?
We just got new punches with the new big catalog and now we will be getting more...
Think hubby will add a room onto the house for me?
Ellen, I think he just might be willing to do that for you. I'm sure he is just as awed by your talents as the rest of us are. I will start using mini glue dots for certain. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the glue dot tip. I use sticky strip as I tend to 'overglue' everything. Totally excited about the new SU punches and am also wondering where to put them ! Think I will have to do some creative housekeeping to toss out the non essential things in my life, like spare linen & towels !
ReplyDeleteI think he should! After all you are famous, and should have your own "studio" to work in.
ReplyDeletehugs,
I also LOVE the glue dots, am not ever without them OK I only need one box at a time but do always make sure there is a spare in the drawer. good luck with the room LOL
