Yoohoo or is that UHU?

A few weeks ago I sent away for a free samples of Uhu Twist & Glue in exchange for using it to make something and posting about it on my blog. As you know, I was a big fan of tape runners because they are less messy. I wrote a long article about it for Craft Critique HERE. Anyway, I stopped using liquid glues on paper because of warping, lumps and residue and it just didn't look good after it dried.

I was skeptical to try a liquid glue on paper again but it was free and they sent along some extra goodies. I was very pleasantly surprised. The product is non-toxic and acid free and dries clear (but a bit shiny where it oozed on a card). It washes out with soap and water. I really like the shape of the bottle and a retractable needlepoint applicator.

Now the downside, like with all liquid glues, sometimes you apply a bit more than you need. I had some glue ooze out when I used it one some smaller punched pieces on a different project. It dries kind of stuff which is fine for a card but I wouldn't use it on something that was supposed to be flexible. Bottom line: I really like the product and I would by it again.

PS The layout of this card was inspired by a sketch on the Clear Artistic Designs blog. All of the designers contribute and it has some great ideas. The original sketch post is HERE.
