Let me show you how and where I have used Tacky Glue in my project. I have made a layout using the Mood Board for this month! :)

I am inspired by so many things from the Mood Board! Isn't it a versatile one? We can have so many possibilities!

Let me show you all a  step-by-step tutorial for this layout:

1. I got this really cool Stamp and Stencil Set from Hampton Art. This stencil has an adhesive layer that allows the stencil to temporarily stick on your paper so that it doesn't move while daubing. A highly recommended stencil! Later you can wash it with soap and the adhesive still remains intact on the stencil! Voila! :)

I sprayed Dylusions- mica spray on the background later sponged using Black Soot distress ink.

2. I have used Aleene's Tacky Glue on the Fabric tape here! The fabric tape itself has glue on its back. However, tacky glue sticks a lot faster on fabric and is pretty strong!

3. I used scraps of pattern papers from American Craft and arranged them the way I wanted them. Later, I adhered them using Tacky Glue.

4. I love the Simple Stories- You are Here! Insta Squares that I received in my DT Kit!

I used Fast Grab Tacky glue under them to stick them over the layout! This glue is superb! :)

5. I hand-wrote the "I love You" part over the paper. I also added a bit of texture over all the paper pieces using Micron pin point pen, I used the Quick Dry Tacky Glue for most of the papers and insta squares- I have to say that it dries really fast and dries clear!

6. A close up! The banners are actually stamped images that I had fuzzy cut! I loved playing around with colorful papers here! ;)

7. And here is my layout! I got inspired by so many things from the mood board - the colors, chevron pattern, polka pattern and fabric!  Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to link up your entries HERE. Please note that you can create anything from the Moodboard, it is upto you! Just remember to add the Moodboard image and the way you got inspired! :)

Have a great day! :)
