Tool Time and the i-bond!

Hey everyone, it's Heather and I'd like to welcome you to the 2nd installment of our Tool Time series.  This is our time to showcase different Imaginisce tools while featuring tips, tricks, and project ideas to get the most out of your tools. Or if you are new to Imaginisce's amazing pink tools, perhaps you will be inspired to try them out!

Today we will be featuring the i-bond cordless glue gun. We've heard how much you love it but we've also heard you asking about ways to integrate it and the colored glue sticks into your projects.
 

Doesn't this tool and those gorgeous colored glue sticks look like so much fun?  Check out this video I created to show you a few of the things I have created with the tool as well as other ideas you might want to try.  This video is packed with multiple projects, tips, techniques and ideas. So without further ado, here's some things I'd like to share about the i-bond....



Here's some photos of the projects I made in the video.

Little Cutie Girl Card - flowers embellished with purple glitter glue using the i-bond

Snag 'em Stamps Sweet Baby Doll stamped in pink glue using the i-bond

Little Cutie Boy line - buttons embedded in brown glue using the i-bond
 
 
GIVEAWAY TIME
I'd love to hear any additional ideas you may have in the comments below for your chance to win your very own i-bond!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!
xoxo Heather

I was thinking that with the colored glue you could make glitter pearls and rhinestones for a project. That is if you run out of them with your I-Rock. LOL anways nice techniques. Thank you.

Great video Heather! I am thinking the glitter glue sticks will make great embellishments on Christmas ornaments. A red, green and silver glitter color pack would be nice. Thanks for the inspiration!

jcrawford said...

this could also be used to add glitter dots (glitter sticks) to center of flowers , to add squiggly lines (3D) to a page... the possibilities are endless... I keep telling my local sb store they need them.. I WANT ONE...rofl

Glora said...

WOW! I'm loving that image stamped into the glue. CUTE!!!! I can't really think of anything more creative than that to use it for. Of course there are the standard hot glue gun uses and the glitter could be fun to decorate with if you have a sturdy hand. Hugs- Glora

Melinda AKA medialady said...

I would use the colored glue to make some flourishes on a layout or card that I could also press some gems into.

This is so cool! Thanks for the tutorial!

Tamika said...

The stamping with the glue gun is just amazing to me, I am still trying to figure it out! I just read about how versatile this little glue gun is and I have it in my top five on my wish list. After loving my cordless i-rock I knew that the glue glue is a must have too.

Megan said...

I love the idea of having to be cordless and the different color glue. I would embellish hair bows and shirts for little girls....

Scrappin' Mama said...

Wow - I'd never seen a cordless glue gun before, how super! Love the idea shown of using stamps & then cutting around them to use as embellishments. I was thinking you could write out titles on a piece of transparency to use on scrapbook pages .... wonder how that would work????

tonyamaries said...

I love the glitter glue and the cordless gun is genius!

Naomi said...

I can't think of anymore ideas for the i-bond right now but, I CAN'T WAIT to get my hands on it! I love the idea that it dries so quickly! I tried to make paper flowers a couple of months ago and haven't attempted it since because I had a really difficult time since the liquid glue I used took SO long to dry! Once I get my i-bond, I think I'll be using a lot fewer glue dots, lol...and saving LOTS of money doing so! Thanks Imaginisce for such fun and amazingly economical gadgets !

Ava Gavloski said...

ok, i can't think about anything after i saw that pink cordlesssssssssss glue gun, the hunt is on.

Amanda said...
