Bunch of Thank Yous

Hello, gel-a-tins friends and family! As you have seen, this is a week of farewells and Thank Yous! Today is my last post for gel-a-tins. It has been a pleasure to be part of such a talented design team for over the past year! I am thankful for the opportunity and the chance to meet some wonderful ladies!

To make this CAS card, I used a variety of 'THANKS' from the Merci stamp set.  The main sentiment is stamped in pink. The rest are randomly stamped in black.

Big and Colorful!

Good morning, gel-a-tins friends! Who else is ready for these hot temperatures to go away? I know that I am! But one good thing about this weather...more time to stay inside and create!

I am in love with gel-a-tins Big & Wild Things! Today I am sharing a simple CAS card with a splash of color!

Using one of the big floral stamps from the Big & Wild Things, I stamped the image in one color. To add some POP to the card, dabs of watercolor are placed on each tip of the flower.

A soft gel-a-tins Thank You

Happy Monday, all! Hope you had a great weekend! Did you have time to get your craft on? I know that I did! And some of that included some yummy gel-a-tins goodness!

As soon as I saw the circle stamps in the gel-a-tins Merci set, I thought of doing a circle punch out to highlight the stamp!

The circle image is stamped onto patterned paper. The top layer of the card includes 3 circle cut outs and embossed with a embossing folder through the Cuttlebug machine. The sentiment is placed under the bottom circle. The remaining circles have a different pattern paper underneath it. The top layer is attached to the back printed layer. The twine/button bow is wrapped and tied around the layers. The last step is to attach to the card.

Neon Butterfly Fun

Good morning, gel-a-tins friends! It's Jessi  from Kissin' Krafts! Today I am excited to be participating in the gel-a-tins and Xyron cross promotion. (Psst. check out their blogs for details of the amazing prizes they have up for grabs!) 

I had so much fun creating this card using gel-a-tins Butterflies are Free stamp set.  The butterflies were just screaming to bring out the neon!

The first step was to stamp the butterflies and color them in. I normally use markers to color in, but decided to break out the colored pencils for this project. Once the coloring was complete, it was time to cut it out and attach them to the card matte. The simple sentiment is stamped on the bottom right corner. The final touch was to add the sequins,

I don't know about you, but I always seem to struggle attaching sequins to my projects. But Xyron to the rescue! I had never thought about running the itty bitty sequins through the Xyron's Create a Sticker machine to add adhesive to the back of the sequins. It made it so simple! Will be using that more often!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying this week's projects showcasing the gel-a-tins and Xyron cross promotion!

gel-a-tins Merci

Hello, everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend so far! Today I am sharing a CAS card using 

gel-a-tins Big & Wild Things and Merci stamp sets:

I love the large images. It made it very easy to use multiple colors on the stamp. At first, I inked the image with the light blue color. Next, I took the darker blue and lightly tapped around the outer part of the bloom. To finish the card, I added a simple sentiment. The image/sentiment is added to a blue mat, with rounded edges.

Hope you're having a great week and happy Wednesday! Today I've made a set of 3x3 mini cards using the Gel-a-tins Love Knots Stamp and Merci Stamp set.

Merci card by Donna

Happy Wednesday! Today I made a card using the Wild Things & Merci Stamp Sets. I used a watercolor technique for the flowers that Tim Holtz talked about in his current online class that I am taking. He mentioned you could stamp with Distress Stains to get a watercolor effect so I thought I would try it. I used several different pink and purple stains and a green one for the stems. To do this technique you have to be able live with the areas that are smudged and not clear. That's what watercolor is like. Here's a close-up of the flowers. You can see how the colors blend together.

I thought the image was pretty enough that the card didn't need a lot of extras. I liked the Merci with the watercolor effect too. Thanks for stopping by and if you would like to see more of my Gel-a-tins projects, please stop by my blog at http://thecraftycorgi.blogspot.com

Baby shower thank you cards

Happy beginning of spring break to those of you that start after today (like me).  The kids will be out early today and it will mean a lot of free time for me to skip driving anyone around and get some crafting done!

When I was pregnant with the twins, I had a great shower with family and friends.  One of the people that came gave me a packet of thank you notes along with some stamps so that I would be all set up to send them out after the shower.  I thought it was such a great gift (and I try to be good about sending thank yous) so I decided to use my gel-a-tins to make a version of notes that you could give as a gift at a baby shower.

I did a boy theme, but I used stamps from both the Sugar and Spice and the Snips and Snails sets.  Then I threw in that great stamp from the Merci set too :)  These were so quick and easy to put together, and I think that they'd be adorable all tied up with a little ribbon and given as a gift.

I hope you like these!  Please head over to our Facebook page and like us there to be sure that you'll see all of our specials and projects!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: gel-a-tins, Snips and Snails, Sugar and Spice, Merci

Thank you card by Donna

Happy Wednesday! Today I decided to use this fun stamp that comes in the Gel-a-tin stamp set called Merci. I love how graphic and fun this stamp is and how many "nice" words it has on it. I looked in my paper stash found this fun patterned paper and I decided to use this stamp with these papers to make fun "country" kind of card. It's a little different than my normal style, but I like to try everything. And, I live in South Carolina so I know what country is - trust me!

To make this card I cut a 4.25 x 5.5 piece of flowery paper. Then cut a 1 inch strip of the gingham paper, used the scalloped border punch on the bottom and adhered it to the paper. Then I tied a bow around the paper and adhered the paper to the front of a top fold card. I stamped the image on the backside of the patterned paper and inked the edges. Then I cut a slightly larger piece of paper in gingham, inked the edges and adhered the stamped image panel to the gingham panel. I adhered that panel to the card over the ribbon using thick foam dots.

Here is a close up to show the stamp detail.

Materials
1. Stamp set - Merci - Gel-a-tins
2. Ink - Not Quite Navy - Stampin' Up
3. Decorative Paper - Pebbles - Fresh Goods
4. Ribbon - Not Quite Navy - Stamin' Up
5. Punch - Scallop Border - Stampin' Up
6. Foam Dots - This To That
