Friday Halloween fun!

Today we have some more great projects to share with you!  I have been having a lot of fun on the net lately, looking at Halloween ideas.  Making treats for three classes worth of kids is something that I have to plan and start early.  Today's projects combine gel-a-tin stamps and easy to find supplies to make treats that you'll love giving away!  First, we have a little something from Karin.
"This little goodie bag I made using a template from Silhouette and cut it out in kraft cardstock. Stamped it with the bats and cob web images from the Halloween set before I glued it together."

Angela made this cute set with a Halloween treat bag and matching card.  Projects like this are perfect for giving to friends and neighbors!

"I love the big pumpkin stamp and I embossed it with black powder and then inked the cardstock with a shimmery orange-red ink. The same ink stamped on a black cardstock was used for the small pumpkins. I embossed the sentiment with White On! Gelly Powder."

"I stamped a little acetate bag with the big pumpkin stamp using Staz-On ink, then I filled it with peanut butter cups."

"I border punched the bag topper with a Kreaxions punch from Just Imagine crafts, then stamped the sentiment and spiders. Love these little spiders!"

"I stamped the bats on grey cardstock and then cut them out and glued them to wire spirals for a fun little detail. What a fun treat to give on Halloween!"

Lots of treats, but no tricks here!

We have been having so much fun with the two new Halloween sets this month.  I hope you've been enjoying all the inspiration and are ready to get a head start on your own Halloween projects!

This project is by Jessica (that's me :)  I used to teach cake decorating and I love making cupcakes for parties and gifts.  The banner that's part of the Witchy Poo set made me think of the banners you see so much on cakes lately.  I just sized it down and attached it to twine.  I also used that banner (attached to my block on a curve) to stamp around the bottom edge of the cupcake wrappers I cut out.  The spider is from the other Halloween set and the bones are from Witchy Poo.  I think a table full of these would be so fun at a party!

Supplies:

Paper by Basic Grey, ink by Staz-On, twine by The Twinery, 

bamboo skewers from kitchen store, beads from Wal-Mart

Gladys made this adorable card with the Halloween set.  How amazing does that spider stamp look with that stitched web?!

Supplies:
Paper:plum pudding cardstock, webster pages paris, Scenic Route - Metropolis Yasoda Street, Cosmo Cricket - Material girls
Ink:Vesafine Sepia, Onyx black
Stamp:Gelatins Halloween
Others: Green and black floss

More ways to say "Thank You!"

Happy Wednesday everyone!  We have more projects to share today so let's get to it!  Sharm has a card for us first.

"I would’ve probably shared before that I’m a vintage freak and that I can never steer away from having a couple of butterflies or flowers on my layouts or cards..and this card, just proves that I love those three elements..

This month, I was lucky to get the gel-a-tins Put a Cap on it stamp set which is D E L I G H T F U L! the stamp set also has simple sentiments that you can use on it’s own, or within the cap stamp. So here’s my project, using the single simple sentiment from that set."

Materials Used:
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
Stamp : Gel-a-tins Put a Cap On It
Patterned Paper : My Mind’s Eye – Stella & Rose
Die: Sizzix Layered flower (for handmade flower embellie)
Flowers : Craft Supply
Grommet : Moof
Inks : Ranger Distress Inks, Staz On

Jessica made this Halloween tag to share.

"I love the Witchy Poo and Halloween sets and I combined them to make this cute tag.  I think it would be great to give away attached to some baked treats or a bottle of wine for friends."

I stamped the images from both sets on a white cardstock with Versamark ink and used the White Gelly powder to emboss them all.  I sprayed over all the stamped images with orange and silver mists and then wiped the excess off the images.  I cut out two die shapes, one from my stamped paper and one from black cardstock.  I stamped the greeting on the black cardstock just like the other images.  Add some more stamped, embossed images and twine, a little sparkle to the ends and you have a quick tag that your friends will really appreciate!

Supplies Used:

Versamark Ink

White On and Storm gelly powders

Heidi Swapp crystals

Twinery Twine



Fun for your whole family!

Both of today's projects were made with some of our great new stamp sets.  The Thanksgiving sets are so cute and versatile, you'll find a million ways to use them before and during the holiday.  The Button Up set is just perfect for any time you need that special button you want to add to a page, or for when you want to add the look of stitches without having to get out your needle and thread!

DT member Ellen made these pretty place cards with her kids! 

"When my son, Owen, saw these little Pilgrims and Indians he got so excited! Every year he makes the place settings for Thanksgiving so that is what we did with these stamps.

AND we embossed some of them! He had such a good time embossing. And his vote for favorite scent is watermelon As for me, I cannot get enough of that cute little Turkey!!!

Supplies:
Kraft Bazzill
Ink: Stampin' Up!
Embossing Powders and stamps: Gel-a-tins

DT member Natalie made these fabulous cards with the Button Up set.  Cutting your stamped images out and using foam dots on the back is such a great way to draw attention to them!

Gel-a-tins: Here to help you beat that case of the "Mondays"

I hope you're all having a great day out there!  At my house we're counting down the days until school starts (well, I am, anyway).  The kids go back on Wednesday here and I am looking forward to some uninterrupted crafty time!

 

Our first project today is by DT member Cherie made with the Button Up set.  It's an adorable card.  Be sure to leave her some love today in the comments because it's her birthday!!  Happy Birthday Cherie!

This next card is by Cassie.  How amazing does all the black and white look with those Witchy Poo Halloween stamps?  I think I need to lift this one! 

 

"This new Halloween set has so many great little stamps. A person could have a lot of fun making their own dp with them I stamped the banner and then embossed it and cut it out to make a border. The image panel has the spider web and other little images stamped around for the background, and then the cauldron is stamped and embossed in black to make it stand out. "

Today we have some fabulous projects for you that were made with our Thanksgiving stamps.  Cassie is going inspire you first!
 "As soon as I saw all the adorable people in this set, I knew some napkin rings would be perfect! They will look so lovely on our table for Thanksgiving. Just think of the fun name cards you could make to match. . .hmmm, I guess I'll have to do that "

Ellen used her stamps to make this summery thank you card. 

"I love love how versatile Gel-a-tins stamps are! Just because this is a Thanksgiving themed set, doesn't mean you can't use these stamps for every day "thank you" cards. You can never have to many of these cards in your stash for quick gifts and notes and this stamp set is perfect for that!"

Wednesday Scrapping!

We have some projects to lift those mid-week blues! 

This first card is from DT member Karin.  I love stamping over patterned paper, and this card really shows off the stamps from the new Witchy Poo set!

I stamped the haunted house on text paper with Walnut Stain ink (TH).

Used spellbinders die for the window and the little tag.

The kraft cardstock is embossed using PTI's text embossing plate.

DT member Cherie made this sweet layout with the new Button Up set.  I have got to get this one!

"I love buttons and the Buttons Set is a great way to add buttons to your page without the bulk. Stamping your buttons is also a great way to add that perfect embellishment by finding an ink that matches your papers. For this layout, I stamped three different buttons onto white cardstock and used a circle cutting template closest to each size button. Then I could place the buttons on my layout wherever I needed to for a custom embellishment. For extra dimension, you could even pop dot the buttons or use thread through the holes of each button."

Stamps: Gel-a-tins

Sheree made this fab layout with the Halloween set.  I love the dimension!

"Although in Australia we don't tend to celebrate Halloween much, my daughters birthday just happens to fall very close to it so this year we decided on a big Halloween birthday party for her 10th birthday... she of course had to go as the young Vampire girl (Twilight fan of course). This Halloween stamp set worked perfectly with these photos... loved the little spiders and flying bats..."

More Fun Cards!

When was the last time you had a Thanksgiving set that you could use any day of the year?  This new set is so cute that you could use it for your projects any time!  Ellen made our first card today with it.

I know I got a Thanksgiving set but I had these papers on my desk and the stamps were there, too. So I thought they would be cool as thank you cards.

Supplies:
Stamps: Gel-a-tins
Ink: Stampin' Up!
Punch: Creative Memories
Papers: Webster's Pages
Misc: embellishments
Twine: Twinery
Mists: Tattered Angels

 Now this great card by Angela that was made with the Spin Cycle set.

Tuesday Fun!

We have some great cards to share with you today!  The first is by Cherie.

I adore this Shifting Gears set. It has so many different ways you can use it to make each project unique. When flipping through some of my embellishments this afternoon, I came across these super cute Fancy Pants Rub-Ons that worked perfectly with the Shifting Gears Stamp Set.

Cardstock: Bazzill
Rub-Ons: Fancy Pants
Ink: Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Gel-a-tins Shifting Gears & Honey Bear

And this adorable Halloween card is by Cassie.

I thought it would be fun to get away from the traditional orange and black by using kraft in a nighttime setting. I punched a circle in some scrap paper and then airbrushed the moon in. I covered the moon with another circle punched out of a post it so that I could airbrush the rest of the night sky around the moon. After that was accomplished I stamped the haunted house. The main panel for the card was embossed with an embossing plate.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: CDS Worn Parchment, CDS Cottonball White
Copics: B95, B97, YR31, YR21
Accessories: Square Nestabilities, airbrush, circle punch, yellow ribbon, Halloween button, navy wire, TE Woodgrain Impression Plate

July Guest Designer - AnnCaryl Worland

Our first Guest designer this month is AnnCaryl Worland!  She worked with our Witchy Poo and Give Thanks sets to make these great projects!  Let's hear what she has to say about herself and gel-a-tins!

"I go by a double name. I always tell people not only is my name backwards, but it is spelled weird!

I graduated from High School at The American School of London in 1963. Then I got a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Oklahoma in 1967.  I was an Elementary School Art Teacher for almost 30 years. I am now retired.  I have been published in “Clear Albums for Scrappin” by Design Originals. I have also done layouts for several scrapbook stores. I was the winner of the School Division for ProvoCrafts 1^st Cricut Contest in 2006.  I am the mother of a boy and a girl. They are both adults now. I am the very proud grandmother of two girls, ages 7 and 4. I sure wish they lived close by.

I am very pleased to be chosen as a Guest Designer for Gel-a-tins . The best thing about Gel-a-tins is how deeply carved they are. It makes the images show up much better than so many other clear stamps. I also love their very timely subjects."

 

Thank you AnnCaryl for the great work!
