Damask Thanksgiving Card

I know that Halloween is this week, but I decided to make a Thanksgiving card using the amazing gel-a-tins Damask stamp set. I have always thought that gold was the perfect color to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Here is the card that I created-

Image

I used the bigger damask stamp to create the background of the card. The small damask added the perfect touch to the sentiment.

Halloween Greetings Tag

Hi everyone! Nice to see you again!

Today I'm bringing you a superquick, supereasy Halloween tag featuring the Gel-à-Tins Halloween Greetings set!

When you have tons of candy to give out the last thing you need is a design that will take ages to put together! Hence today's simple but effective tag:

Image

How about that?! I think you could dress up your ghoulish gifts quite well with this!

Image

I started by die-cutting a tag from some cardstock then stamping the sentiment repeatedly on the tag using orange, purple and green inks.

Image

I then stamped a couple of jack-o-lanterns on orange and purple cardstock using black ink, trimmed them out and adhered with dimensional glue gel. I added a stamped 'stamp' image in black to add a bit of interest to the tag.

Image

All that was left was to add a ribbon/twine treatment and I was done!!



Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Halloween Greetings stamp set

Other:
Trick or Treat stamp set Inkadinkado)
Canyon Clay ink, Plum Pudding ink, Simply Chartreuse ink (Papertrey Ink)
Versafine Onyx Black ink, (Tsukineko)

Orange Zest Saddle Stitch ribbon, Smokey Shadow Satin Luxe ribbon (Papertrey Ink)
Twine (other)

Folk Art Thanks Card

Hello stamps! Nina here. This is my last project for Gelatins as a DT member. I really enjoyed creating with the Gelatin stamps. Thanks Gelatins, for having me on your amazing team!

Image

Stamps I used (except the sentiment) are from the Fluer de Lis set. It immediately reminded me of some folk art I've seen. The stamp set also has some more distressed looking motifs. They are all great for this technique. I added some more of the blings to spice it up:

Image

I love how this turned out. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

Halloween is Almost Here!

Image

Halloween is fast approaching. I thought I would make one more card to send to a friend. I used the Witchy Poo Collection once again. There are so many images in that set. It is fabulous.

To make this card, I stamped the witch onto yellow cardstock. I used a circle cutter to cut out a circle. It represents the moon. I cut a slightly larger circle in orange, and adhered the two circles together with foam adhesive.

Adhere the circles to the white panel. Stamp the sentiment following the curve of the outer circle. I stamped each letter individually to make sure they were spaced correctly.

Use additional pattern paper to finish off the card. I added two buttons and a small cloud for some interest and to offset the symmetrical design.

So, are you ready for Halloween? Do you have your costume yet?
Thanks for stopping by today.

A Spooky Fall Kitty

Hello, Gel-a-tins fans! Can you believe that Halloween is next week?!? So why not another festive Halloween card? Today's card using the single stamp Fall Kitty and the bat stamps from the Witchy Poo Set.

Take a look-

Image

The first step I took in making this card was to stamp the Fall Kitty image onto kraft cardstock. I colored in the image with a variety of markers. Once the ink was dried, I hand-cut the image. I adhered the patterned paper to the card and used a die-cut to cut out the circle on the front. Using the same die-cut, I also cut a circle out of matching orange cardstock and attached to the "inside" of the card. 

Image

It was time to start piecing together the card. I stamped one bat onto the orange circle. The second bat was hand-cut and adhered to the piece of twine. The kitty was glued to the front of the card off to the side of the circle cut-out. I decided to add sticker embellishments to bottom and viola, the card is finished!

Trick or Treat

Hi everyone! Nice to see you again!

Today I'm bringing you a quick and easy Halloween card featuring the Gel-à-Tins Halloween Greetings set!

I went for an easy-to-mass-produce design which took next to no time to whip up:

Image

What do you think? Does it get you in the mood for Halloween?!

Image

I started by stamping the sentiment in Versamark ink and embossing with some orange embossing powder.

Image

I then stamped the witch strip using black ink. As the sentiment is already embossed you can just wipe the ink off the top of it, giving it a more aged look in the process!

Image

I decided I needed a few embellishments around the sentiment, so I reached for the bat stamp and stamped them in Versamark ink before embossing with a lavender embossing powder.

Image

All that was left was to round a corner and I was all done!!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Halloween Greetings stamp set

Other:
Trick or Treat stamp set Inkadinkado)
Versafine Onyx Black ink, Versamark ink (Tsukineko)
Smokey Shadow cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Zing! Embossing Powder


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

Banners and Sparkle by Nina

Hello stampers! Nina here with a quick and easy halloween card using the fun banners from Witch Poo set.

Image

One of the fun things you can do with a photopolymer stamp is that you can bend a banner or sentiment to create curves:

Image

I heat embossed the banner three times in lavender, leaf and mustard colored embossing powder by American Crafts.

The pretty bling background? It was a beautiful surprise that came in my DT package! Thanks Bonnie, I really enjoyed it!

Happy Huanting! :)

Not so Spooky Haunted House

Hello, everyone. I am bringing you another halloween card using the fabulous haunted house image from the Witchy Poo collection.

Image

I first stamped the house onto white cardstock. I cut out some of the windows, and place a piece of ledger paper behind it. The lines in the paper add to the look of the windows. I added a moon, hand-cut cloud, and a stamped bat. The sentiment was stamped onto pattern paper and cut into banner shapes. I adhered most of the elements with foam adhesive squares. Such a must-have when making cards!

I hope you enjoyed this cute, and not so spooky, halloween card!
Thank you for stopping by.

A Chevron-Tastic Haunted House card!

I am loving all the Halloween projects the talented gel-a-tins DT has been showing you! Of course, I have decided to another Halloween card using the Witchy Poo Stamp set and a touch of the Chrevrontastic Set.

Hope you like it!

Image

A close-up of the bats and house from the Witchy Poo Stamp set.

Image

To add a splash of orange to the card, I decided to use the Chrevrontastic set to help highlight the haunted house. And of course, I decided to use a few of my favorite foam dots to add dimension to the card. (The moon and the sign pop off the page.)

Thank you for stopping by today! If you have any gel-a-tins creations, please share them with us and then think about trying out for our current DT search! You could be on the next team!

Fall Kitty Wine Glass Charm

Hi everyone! Welcome back!

Today I'm bringing you a super-cute little project using the mini Fall Kitty Gelly Jr's stamp from Gel-à-Tins! I've just been waiting and waiting for Autumn to be in the air to bring out this little kitty!

I decided I wanted to make something cute and different with this little kitty and stumbled upon this idea:

Image

What do you think? Fun huh?!

I started by stamping the kitty onto orange cardstock and carefully cutting him out, hat and all. I then stamped him again on orange and cut just him out. :-)

Image

See his cute little stripes? That's the Love Knots set at work again! God I will never get tired of using this set!!

Image

I then stamped the hat a couple of times on purple cardstock and trimmed out the hat and the brim. I used dimensional glue gel to adhere it all together so he had some dimension, and used a white pen to add detail to his eyes, tail and paws. I added a tiny bit of shading with a Copic Marker too.

Image

To use him as a glass charm I tied some silk ribbon to the brim and knotted it with a loop at the back, then used another length of ribbon to tie the charm to my glass. Can you imagine a table setup with loads of these little kitties? Too cute!!



Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Fall Kitty Gelly Jr's stamp set, Love Knots stamp set

Other:
Smokey Shadow ink (Papertrey Ink), Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko)
Canyon Clay cardstock, Winter Wisteria cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Silk Ribbon (Papertrey Ink)
White Pen (Inkssentials), Copic Marker
Pinflair Glue Gel, Mod Podge


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