Hello! It's Anita from http://craftygrldesigns.blogspot.com/ With summer finally here I had to play with fun bright colors so I decided to play with the Sweet Cakes Stamp set!



I stamped the icing in a bright pink and stamped the cup in brown! I embossed the kraft cardstock in a modern hexagon! The fun papers add a lot and compliment the cupcake! I couldn't resist making a banner! For the banner I tucked the ends underneath the kraft and than tied the twine bows on each edge! Hope you enjoyed my bright and fun card today!

Monkey-ing Around!

Hello, everyone! Yep, you guessed it. I just can't get enough of this cute little monkey from the Safari Friends collection. My previous card had him saying "hi!" This time, he is here to say, "thank you." And...I also turned him into a sock monkey. He is just as fun with this new identity.




To create the sock monkey look, simply stamp the image onto cream and light brown cardstock. Cut out the pieces and reassemble. I added the pointed football shape over his mouth in red. This small touch makes all the difference.

I added him to a 4x4 card. Start with a red card base. Punch a square out of the front. Add a piece of white cardstock to the inside. Adhere the monkey with a foam adhesive square, making sure he is visible through the punch out. Hand write (or stamp) a sentiment on the inside.

I added a button brad and a piece of twine for a fun closure. Simply adhere one end of the twine behind the white cardstock. Wrap the other end around the button brad. For additional detail, use a black marker with a thin point and outline the front and inside of the card.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. I hope you try making this cute little guy. He has lots to say, that is for sure!

Chevron and bamboo beads!

Before I show the project, please let me say a quick thank you for stopping by Gel-a-tins today! I hope you have been enjoying the latest DT projects!

Today, I decided to go away from my comfort zone...far away! I usually make cards, but today I took a stab at making a jewelry piece. I kept coming across some bamboo beads on clearance at a local craft store. A few days ago I finally decided to buy them. Unsure of what I was going to do, I had them sitting on my counter for a few days.

I started to play around with the Cheveron-tastic stamp set and the idea finally clicked. I was going to attempt stamping on the beads.

Here is the final outcome: (after going through several trial-runs)



The first step I completed was to lightly sandpaper the front of the bead. Once the polish was off, I stamped the image using permanent stamping ink. The first image was stamped in the middle and the remaining stamps went from there.

To finish of the piece I added a few beads to each side of the pendant. Voila! Finished!

Monday Sweet Cakes!

Hello! I hope that you are having a great day! It's Anita from craftygrldesigns.blogspot.com and I have a pretty card to share with you today! I am using the fun set Sweet Cakes!



I love sideviews:



I used some fun polka dot feminine paper and based my colors off of it. I paper pieced the frosting and used hem tape for the ribbon! I colored the hem tape with my ink pad! I couldn't find room for the sentiment so I stamped it on the tag and tied it on with the twine and a button! :> I very much enjoyed making this card!

Hope you enjoyed my card and are inspired by it! Until next time I hope your ink pads are never dry!

Love Knots layout

Hi gel-a-tins fans! The weekend is here. It's going to be our hottest weekend yet in Michigan, so I plan to spend some time enjoying the central air in my craft room and playing with stamps and ink!

I would like to share my latest scrap layout with you.

1 of the Guys



Supplies Used:
gel-a-tins Love Knot stamp
Studio G ink
Paper and quote block - Authentique
black alphas - The Paper Studio
"1"- pink paislee
Tim Holtz chit chat stickers
October Afternoon journaling spots

My favorite thing about the Love Knot stamp is how versatile it is. I stamped onto a kraft circle and used it as an embellishment to anchor the journaling spot and quote die cut.



I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and has a chance to play with stamps and ink!

What's Up?

Hello Everyone, Nina here to share a simple card I made using Traffic Signs Stamp Set.



Traffic Signs is a very clean and stylish masculine set for making cards for the men in your life. I love the font in this set and cannot help but try to spell something out with them. So this is what I came up with:


The only trick was how to stamp the images straight:) A pencil and a ruler came to rescue:) I counted the letters and started with the "S" in the middle so my sentiment can stay in the center:) the little "," is actually the dot from the "!" Easy, right?

I hope that you are inspired to try spelling something out yourself. Happy Crafting!

Lions and Tigers and...

...oh my! Isn't the Safari Friends set just too cute?! It is perfect to create some decorations for a little boy's birthday party.



I created this circus tent from cut paper. I found an image through an online search to use for inspiration.
The first step is to cut the tent shape from white cardstock. Trace that onto a piece of red cardstock. Cut into stripes.
Cut a piece of black cardstock into the shape of a tall, skinny triangle. When adhered to the center stripe along with two smaller yellow triangles, it will look like the tent flaps are slightly open. Add a banner of triangle flags, and a waving flag at the peak of the roof and your big top is complete.

Stamp the lion and tiger onto orange, yellow, and off-white cardstock. Cut out the pieces and adhere together. I love to use stamps for a paper-pieced look.



Add small pieces of folded cardstock to the back of all finished items to make them stand up. An adorable idea would be to place the circus tent at the top of a cupcake carousel display. And then randomly place lions and tigers amongst the cupcakes...or use them as cupcake toppers. Simply adhere them to toothpicks.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Be sure to stop by each day to see what all of the Gelatina's have in store!

A cuddly bear

Thanks for stopping by Gel-a-tins today! I hope you find our blog full on inspiring projects and would love for you to share your Gel-a-tins creations with us!


Hello, everyone! It's Jessi. When I saw the Bear in the "Honey Bear" set, I knew I wanted to some how use flocking powder. After several attempts (have to admit...this was my first time using it), I finally was able to figure out how to make the bear image work.


Here is my CAS (best kind of cards out there *my opinion*):



Here is a close-up of the cute bear:



Can you tell there is flocking powder? No really sure on how to take a picture to showcase the texture?



To start of the flocking technique, I use a ivory cardstock and rolled a gluestick over an area the size of the stamp. Quickly taking the flocking powder and pressing it onto the glue. Allowing the powder to dry, I then stamped the image with brown ink. Once the ink was dried, the image was cut-out. Using a small hole punch, I punched 2 holes around the bear's neck and added the twine bow.

To complete the card, I attached the bear to the corner and added the sentiment around the bear.



Once again, thank you for stopping by today!

Chevron star card by Taheerah

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by the Gel-à-Tins blog again - I hope you're enjoying all the amazing projects the girls are posting!

I'm back today with a masculine card using Chevron-Tastic. Chevrons are so versatile that they work for both male and female recipients - I love that!

I made a fun discovery whilst playing around with my set - the large solid chevron fits perfectly between the double chevron stamp! That just opened up a whole world of extra possibilities for me!!

So out of that discovery came this card:



Fun, no? Let me tell you how I did it.



I started with a Kraft card base and stamped a chevron pattern in green, brown and kraft, alternating the colours and mixing and matching with the solid chevron. I just love how jazzy it came out!



I then stamped the sentiment in black and added some die-cut stars, stamping some in brown with a concentric star design. The stars were adhered with dimensional glue gel so they really pop off the card at different heights!




Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Chevron-Tastic stamp set

Other:
Super Stars stamp set (Papertrey Ink)
Kraft, Dark Chocolate and Simply Chartreuse inks (Papertrey Ink), Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko)
Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Seeing Stars dies (Papertrey Ink)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)

I'd love to know what you think of this little card. Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Safari Friends

Hello! It's Anita from http://craftygrldesigns.blogspot.com/ I hope that your having a great day! I am happy to be here today sharing a card made with the Safari Friends stamp set! With Father's Day just around the corner I thought I would make a masculine card with this set!



I stamped a few of the animals from Safari Friends in brown ink onto kraft cardstock. I colored the animals in lightly with pencils, since I thought it gave it a more masculine feel! I used some pattern paper that I think is quite masculine with it's chevron pattern and colors! I wasn't going to leave the twine over top of the animal panel but when putting it together I liked the way it looked! :>

And that's it for me! :> See you next time!
