Working for the Weekend!

Are you singing an 80's song now?  Sorry about that :) 

More card cuteness is coming your way today!  Cherie has been working with the Save the Date set this month and every time I see another project I want that set that much more!  Check this one out!

"I love this set; so many different ways to use it. It's even great to use on cards!"
 

Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye
Die Cuts: Quickutz Silhouette
Stamp: Gel-a-tins

Karin has been working with the Build Your Own Flourish set.  She has such a gift for making great cards!  I need to lift some of these ideas :)

"Build a Flourish is absolutely wonderful for creating your own patterned paper - I just LOVE it. For this card I used the Faded Jeans ink from Tim Holtz distress inks for the flowers and then went over my flowers with my ink blending tool adding the same color - which I think turned out quite nice. The label/doily is cut with my Silhouette SD and then stamped with a flower from the "Bulid a Flourish" set and a sentiment from Gel-a-tin's great set Happy Days - filled with different and very useful sentiments for birthdays and other celebrations!"

Well that's it for today!  Be sure to check out yesterday's post and learn about our Operation Write Home challenge, and don't forget about the monthly challenge too!  We want to see you win!



You can do so much with a stamp!

Today we've got two projects that show you two very different ways you can use our stamp sets!  First up is Cherie with her sweet layout that uses the Save the Date set for her embellishment.   I just love that set!

"I stamped the numbered circle, then I stamped the line circle inside and then the date inside of that! I cut it out and added it to my page as a main focus embellishment."

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics, Core'dinations
Patterned Paper & Stickers: Echo Park
Stamps: Gel-a-tins
Ink: Stampin' Up!

This card is by Jessica.  Using a patterned paper with a monochromatic background and adding a solid stamp to it makes for a great look for a layered card or layout!

"I started with this one by stamping the different stamps from the Shifting Gears set all over the background paper.  Some of them I left looking a little rough, I think it adds to the mechanical, masculine look of the card.  Once I added that paper to my base, I misted some chipboard gears and added them to the card with foam adhesive.  With an ink around the edge and a sentiment, I was done and I love it!"

Paper: Imaginisce

Card base: Canvas Corp.

Sentiment: Cosmo Cricket

Ink: Staz-On and Ranger

Gears: Unique Pages

Adhesive: Xyron

Save the Date and Build Your own Paisley!

It's a happy holiday Monday here in the states, but I hope that you're having a great day no matter where you are!  We have more great projects for you today, but before we get to that I want to remind you that we have a design team call going on until September 18th.  Get those entries in!  Just go here for directions.  Good luck!
Cherie is up first today with an adorable layout that was embellished with our Save the Date stamp set. 

"I love these date stamps. I can see them working their way onto many of my scrapbook pages."

Stamps: Gel-a-tins

This thank you card was made by Angela.  She used the Build Your Own Paisley-Floral set to make this one stand out!

"This thank you card was fun to make and very classic looking - paisley is such a classic pattern. Here I was thinking of autumn colours of cranberry, navy and gold. I used the Many Thanks set for the sentiment."



Boo!

Hello and happy Tuesday to you!  Today is the last day to enter your project in our monthly contest.  Go here and check it out!  Now we're going to check a super cute Halloween card from Cherie!

"I've never been so inspired to scrap Halloween before. I really love these stamps. I especially love that "Happy" and "Halloween" are separate so you can stamp it all on one line or on top of one another depending on what you need."

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Stamps: Gel-a-tins

Thursday cards!

I hope you're all having a wonderful Thursday out there!  I've got some shopping and scrapping to do (but unfortunately no scrappy shopping :) )  Let's see if our card creations from the DT will inspire you to create today!  First up is Cherie...

"When I opened up the Halloween set, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to create because I've never really done many Halloween projects but do these stamps ever just create for themselves. They are so super cute!! I think I might even redo my Halloween pages from last year just so I can use this set more."

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
Stamps: Gel-a-tins
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye

DT member Karin makes the cutest cards with the best details and today's card is no exception to that!  How cute are those pups she's been using?
"For this card I've used stamps from Cosmp Pups (dog and sentiment) together with Hearts a Flutter (heart and wings). "

I've used Spellbinders for the label and paper is from PTI.

Don't forget, our Monthly Challenge is still going on and you can also still purchase the Super Star set for $12.99 this month!

The perfect accents!

If you're looking for the perfect touch to add to your project, you really can't beat gel-a-tin stamps!  We have two projects today that have that special something, all thanks to our stamps! 

I (Jessica) made this card with the new Many Thanks set.  I did choose fall colors for it, but I don't think it has to be something that I save to use during that season.  I love the choice of sentiments in this set, and all the different stamps are perfect for cards!

Paper: My Mind's Eye, Cosmo Cricket, Chatterbox

Ribbon flower: Made by me with ribbon from Michael's

Markers:  Martha Stewart

Ink: Staz-On and Ranger Distress inks

Cherie made an adorable layout even more special with our Button Up set!

"I'm really pleased with this layout. I love that I was able to get four photos on the page without sacrificing title or journaling. I stamped the buttons on the journal paper and the stitches stamp under my title to emphasize the "bookworm" part of my title."



Patterned Paper: October Afternoon

Buttons and Stitches

If you've been visiting the blog you've seen the projects the design team has made with our Button Up set.  This set combines adorable button and stitch stamps that will add that perfect finishing touch to all of your projects.  The two projects we have to share today show just how cute this set is.
First we have a project by DT member Cherie.  She made this layout and added buttons and stitches to finish it off.

"This layout sort of happened by accident. I saw a layout with circles that inspired me so I started cutting circles. Since I didn't know what sizes I wanted to work with, I cut a whole bunch and when I was done, they were all kind of just lying in the perfect spots so I lifted each gently to glue them down."

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Stamps: Gel-a-tins

DT member Ellen made this card that just screams happy!  I love what she did with the stitches!

"Who needs a sewing machine when you can create your own faux stitches with this cute set! It is super easy and this 5x5" card is the perfect size to create your own faux stitched border."

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!

 

"Here's a card I made with the buttons set. I thought the buttons just screamed flower centers so as soon as I received them I started sketching up this card. The stitching stamps make great stems as well!

Stamps: Gel-a-tins

Flowers: Prima Marketing
Ink: Colorbox

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. "

Paper: SU dp, CDS Cottonball White

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."

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

Gel-a-tin Stamps are so Versatile!

Please go here to check out the blog hop!  It's still going strong and we want you to win!

Our first project today comes from Dt member Cherie. She used the Shifting Gears set on this sweet page!

"If there's one thing I've noticed since becoming a mother to a son is that many of the items out in the scrap world cater to little girls. It's really tough finding that perfect accent for your boy page! That's why I love these gear stamps from Gel-a-tins; they are a perfect embellishment for pages about the little guy in your life. I used them on this layout of my son making silly faces whenever I pull out the camera. I stamped the gears onto kraft cardstock (the same as my background) so they blended in with the layout."

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
Patterned Paper: Fancy Pants Designs
Stamps: Gel-a-tins
Die Cuts: Jillibean Soup
Chipboard: Fancy Pants
Stickers: My Mind's Eye
Ink: Stampin' Up!

This card is from DT member Angela, made using one of my favorite sets, Spin Cycle!

"I keep thinking of ideas for the Spin Cycle set - its versatility is only limited by one's imagination!
This card was inspired by an art piece I saw on Pinterest and I thought a cluster of circles in different colours would have a great visual effect.
After the circles were stamped, I used a gloss medium (Close to My Heart Liquid Glass) to accent several small circles for texture and shine. I hand wrote the sentiment."

Meet Design Team member Cherie!

My name is Cherie Nymeyer. I live in SW Ontario with my husband and son. When not scrapbooking, I work as a Payroll Administrator for one of the largest grocery store chains in Canada. I've been scrapbooking for almost 8 years; just after I got married. I remember getting my wedding photos and thinking, there has to be something better then just sticking them in an album and putting them on a shelf. A co-worker showed me her scrapbook album and I was smitten with the craft immediately. I love working on multi photo single page layouts and usually find a way to incorporate a stamp into every page! I submit regularly to scrapbook magazines and have had my layouts and cards in most of the magazines on the newsstand. I've been very fortunate to work with many great design teams and count myself extremely fortunate to be designing for Gel-a-tins. I've been a fan of Gel-a-tins Stamps from the day they came on the market and I hope I can inspire you through stamping!
