Cute, simple, and perfect for almost any occasion!  

You are going to enjoy all the patterned pups.  This one is in damask.

I paired him up with a fun diamond embossing folder 

and cute silver rhinestones (a must), twine, and clippie.

Animal Prints

Animal Prints can be whimsical or classical/elegant.

It just depends on what you pair up with your print.  

Here is a whimsical fun, free standing pop cup card.

Collapsed View.

Check out those red Dew Drops!

Pulled out, free standing and paired up with the funny dogs from Gel-a-tins' "Cosmo Pups."

I "woof" those patterned pups!  Super fun and happy images!!

Paper: Glitter Paws from Robin's Nest

To put this fun card together, I used Glue Dots © 1 " lines, Craft, and Mini Glue Dots ©.

They really make craft projects come together neatly, and quickly.  

Check the tutorial I posted a while back if you want to make your own free standing popup card.

I chose to use Lovebug Creations William (in the Family Ties Collection) colored Rumple Ribbon for the ribbon pull.

Black, white, cardinal, and straw...

A fabulous color combo (especial for those Chi Omega sisters out there)!

But, if you want to go elegant, Black and White Animal Print is a great start for your paper crafting!

You can really see the shine and shimmer of the glitter-fied cardstock!  

Here I added the Kraft chipboard from Gina's Designs.

These laser cut chipboard designs are so well cut!

I sponged the edges of the bottles to create some depth. 

The primas were sponged to give them a more deeper, subtle color.

The sentiment comes from Gel-a-tins "Admission is Free" set.

I love these timeless sentiments which will convey your message to the recipient!

Thanks for visiting today!

happy tails to you!

Hey everyone! I'm sharing another card using the Cosmo Pups stamp set. I just love these cute little puppies, but the little paw stamps are precious too. There are 15 stamps included in this set!

Here's the card I made using two of the puppies + a sentiment stamp. I stamped the sentiment with Prima chalk ink in tin can, which is a lovely silver & it looks so good on the chalk label from American Crafts.

As always, stop by my blog today for more details about my card. Thanks for visiting today!

I woof you [card].

If you know me, you know my love of dogs & this stamp set is no exception. How cute are these Cosmo Pups?

I made a simple CAS card with these stamps. I think this little guy in the lower right hand corner is adorable. I had to use him.

Be sure to check out this stamp in the shop & there's also another cute set with little dogs on it - Pet Shop.

Gel-a-tins mashes up with Xyron!

This week, the Gel-a-tinas are working with Xyron!  What a great adhesive to use on your paper crafting projects.  Today, I used the 2" Cheetah with Permanent Adhesive, as well as the Xyron Gluestick.

Tomorrow will be the birthday of one of my friends. I created this fun ensemble using Gel-a-tins: Cosmo Pups and Make a Wish Sets!  Such a cheery set of images and words!

A plain pad of white paper gets the birthday treatment!!  Lots of stickles...and my new favorite color of Rumple Ribbon:  Crazy Coral!  (Can there be a limit to favorite colors??)

The 2" Xyron Cheetah made applying adhesive a snap on such large paper panels.

Basically, a card stock cover with a pocket on the inside!

Note card that just barks "Happy Birthday!"

 And...to top it off...a book mark for her summer reads!

To get my poochies to lie flat, I applied the Xyron Glue Stick to the back of the cut out image.

(Remember to place it on top of a piece of scratch paper.)  Great coverage!!

I enjoyed this mash up...be sure to scroll through the Gel-a-tins blog for more Xyron inspired ideas!

Thanks for stopping by today...

A spring-y house by Linda!

Hi all...
It's Linda with you today with a special altered bird house that I created using 2 stamp sets from Gel-a-tins, Love Knots and Cosmo Pups.
This project was first inspired by spring season, so the colors that I pick are surrounded by blue,light yellow, and green.



Used Love Knots to create the roof of the house and heat emboss to create more texture using embossing powder. I added crackle paint on the star for more accent.



Here you can see the other side of the house...

A barkingly cute card!

Hi all...
Today I am very excited to share my cute card that I created with combination of Cosmo Pups and 3-D alpha stamp sets. First, I distressed the base cardstock using sand paper and stamp the word "woof" with dye ink. Then I started layering the patterned papers and japanese washi tapes.

I stamped the bone image on top of cardstock sticker before I adhere it to the gingham ribbon. Then, I added light blue vintage button and flower. To finish the project, I add lace on the bottom of the card and distress the entire card with acrylic paint.

Doggie Treat Bag by Donna

Happy Wednesday!! Today I'm making a Treat Bag (this is a doggie treat bag, but you can put any kind of treats you like in yours) using the Gel-a-tins Cosmo Pups stamp set. Why do I need doggie treat bags you may ask? I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Dusty who will be turning 12 years old this month. She was born on February 29, 2000 so she's a Leap Day baby and she's looking forward to finally having her 3rd birthday!! Since she only has a real birthday every 4 years, we always have a party and invite all her doggie friends. This year, all the doggies that come will leave with their own treat bag - the one I'm am showing you today. It's super fun and easy to make and turns out really cute. Here's how to do it.

I used a 4x6 cello bag and cut a 4.5 x 4 panel and scored it at 2 inches for the top panel of the bag.

Then I made a white panel that was 4 x 3.5 inches.

I stamped on the white panel using the 2 dog bones and the small paw print from the Cosmo Pups stamp set.

To finish off the topper, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Tails To You" on a small white panel and framed it with a slightly larger coral panel. Then I framed the larger white panel with a slightly larger coral panel and adhered these to the topper of the treat bag.

 I used a strip of double-sided tape to adhere the bag to the topper and one on the other side.

And, before I go, I have to post a picture of Dusty. Here's one of my favorites from her 1st birthday party.

Materials
1. Card stock - Whisper White, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral - Stampin Up
2. Stamps - Cosmo Pups - Gel-a-tins
3. Ink - Island Indigo, Calypso Coral - Stampin' Up
4. Cello Bag - Stampin' Up

In love

I love Valentine's Day and instead of creating pink color card, I decided to create one with just using everyday colors, but still within love theme, of course!

I used Cosmo Pups stamp set to create these two cute puppies and the banner came from Crate Paper cardstock sticker using double natural twine with small attachers from Tim Holtz on each side. For the title "in love" I added the paw on top of the letter "i". These letters are from naked chipboard that have been distressed using white dye ink.
I hope you enjoy today's project and happy stamping!

Friends Furever card by Donna

This card features 3 of the dogs in the Gel-a-tins stamp set called Cosmo Pups. I thought it would be fun to have a "wall" of doggie friends "portraits" and use the sentiment "Friends Furever." To make this card I stamped each of the dogs and used the 1 inch square punch around their heads so it would look like a photograph. Then I punched out scalloped squares that look like frames around the dog "photos." I colored in the dogs with Copic markers and went around the edges of the square with an orange marker. This was a really fun card that showcases the cute dog stamps in a different way.

Here's a close up of one of the doggie "portraits."

Materials
1. Stamp set - Cosmo Pups - Gel-a-tins
2. Ink - Tuxedo Black - Memento
3. Markers - Copic
4. Card stock - Whisper White - Stampin' Up
5. Decorative Paper - Lime Twise - My Minds Eye; Central Park - Studio Calico

Happy tails to you!

To create a variety of dimension on your project, try to adhere some of your main images using foam tape to create 3D effect. Chipboard embellishments are also perfect to create the 3D look on your project. For this card, I stamped the dog image using dye ink, fussy cut, and adhered next to the stamped dog image that I already created on the cardstock.

The sentiment "happy tails to you!" was stamped on sticker tag on the bottom of the card and here is the detail photograph...

Crate paper chipboard sticker

Doggie Valentine Card by Donna

This week I'm using the super cute Gel-a-tins Cosmo Pups stamp set. Since we're getting close to V-day I wanted to make a cute and easy Doggie Valentine card. I picked the dog that I thought looked the most like a diva. I knew she would want a blingy collar so I added a rhinestone collar for her.

I love the paw print with the swirl design so I stamped it three times and punched it with a 1 inch punch. Then I punched the larger circles with a 1.25 inch circle punch to frame the paws. I stamped the dog and sentiment on a pink panel made from Labels 18. I adhered the label and circles with foam tape.

Here is the entire stamp set. Aren't those Cosmo Pups just too cute? I love how they are so stylish.

Materials
1. Card stock - Blush - Hero Arts
2. Decorative Paper - Kissing Booth - Basic Grey
3. Stamps - Cosmo Pups
4. Ink - Tuxedo Black - Memento
5. Die - Labels 18 - Spellbinders Nestabilities
6. Punches - 1 inch, 1.25 inch circles - Stampin' Up
7. Rhinestones - Stampin' Up
8. Foam Tape - Stampin' Dimensionals - Stampin' Up

Cosmo Pups take-out box by Linda

Hi everyone...
I am here again and today I would like to share with you a cute altered take-out box that I embellish with pink scalloped border and pink pearls. The main image is my favorite cute dog stamp from Cosmo Pups stamp set.

The edge of the take-out box was distressed using Ranger ink. On the top of the handle were two stamped images, paw (stamped on the sticker tag) and bone on top of the red and white twine.

This project is great for you if you like to create baked homemade dog treats to share. Happy paw to you!

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!
