Thank You Gel-à-Tins

Hi everyone! How are you all doing today?

I'm very sad to be writing this post, because... this is my final post as a member of the Gel-à-Tins DT.

I've had the most amazing time being a member of this Design Team. Jessica and Bonnie have been a dream to work with and have supported me every step of the way, and I truly feel that I have grown as a designer during my term as a direct result of my opportunity here. Unfortunately life just sometimes throws up circumstances where you have to say goodbye, and that time has sadly come here. I want to publicly thank Bonnie and Jessica for taking a chance on me and selecting my for the DT, and the to thank the DT girls themselves - they are a lovely, talented bunch and I hope to cross paths with them all again.

I thought I would finish up my term here by posting some of my favourite Gel-à-Tins creations, some old, some new:

First up, my first ever DT project - a super-fun tag featuring Chevron-Tastic. I named this set you know!

Next, an I Love You card featuring the Laugh Out Loud alphas:

Up next, my ombre card featuring Flutterby:

A couple of Polaroid-style photo frames featuring my most favourite set, Love Knots:

A fun and funky good luck card using the Zebra Print Background:

A fun Robin Hood-like card, using the Crackle Paint stamp as tree bark:

A yummy cupcake using the Sweet Hearts set:

A super-blinged out card using the Gelly Gems Roll-ups:

The SWAK mini set helped me pull off this awesome Pop Art-inspired piece:

And finally, my last card, using the Leopard Background stamp to create a moonscape:

I would finally like to thank all of you readers who have read my posts and posted comments on my creations. It means more to me than you will ever know. I am truly grateful for all things Gel-à-Tins and hope it won't be the last time we meet. If you would like to stay in touch with the rest of my work then please visit and follow my blog  *Fill Your Paper With The Breathings Of Your {Heart}*.

Thanks for the memories!! Love you all!!

Go Get 'Em Tiger!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! :-)

I'm sure you won't be surprised to see me feature another card created using the Gel-à-Tins Zebra Background stamp down! I don't have enough superlatives for how much I love this stamp!

It's always fun to change up the look a stamp gives just by varying your colours etc. For example a quick switch up of colour here and you have something that isn't zebra print at all:

Fun right?! This card would be just perfect to give to someone to wish them luck for a big interview, first day at work, and other occasions where someone might need encouragement or good luck wishes!

I stamped a tie image onto orange cardstock, trimmed it out, then stamped the zebra print over it. Love how it now looks like tiger stripes!

I added a fun sentiment using a typewriter alphabet font set. This goes so well with the overall idea, I just love it!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Zebra Background

Other:
His Birthday stamp set (Woodware), Typewriter Alphabet stamp set (MFT)
Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink), Orange You Fabulous cardstock (Clear And Simple Stamps)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)

I'll be back again soon to share another project, have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

You Are Fabulous!

Hey everyone! How are you today? :-)

My love of animal print means I really can't put the Gel-à-Tins Zebra Background stamp down! I keep reaching for it again and again! That's love. :-)

Today I decided to create a card that shows that you don't need to have a full background of this stamp to showcase its fabulousness:

Love!!

I stamped the background at a slant using pink ink, then used a lavender marker to draw some lines to frame the stamping.

Then I decided to break with tradition and use some stickers! I had these great ones in my stash for ages and broke them out to spell out my sentiment! Love how this turned out - very hip!!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Zebra Background

Other:
Bubblegum ink (Hero Arts)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Copic Marker
Uni-ball Signo White gel pen
Bluebell 'Bright' Tiny Word stickers (My Mind's Eye)
Ready Set Go Baxter 2 Transparent Letter stickers (Amy Tangerine)

I'll be back again soon to share another project, have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Zebra Print Hi There

Hi everyone! It's so good to see you! :-)

Today I'm bring you an awesome card featuring the Gel-à-Tins Zebra Background stamp!

I ♥ all things animal print, so I couldn't wait to put this stamp to use creating this funky modern CAS card:

Fun huh?!

I stamped the background first using brown ink, leaving just enough space on the edge to add a custom sentiment. I love how this card is suitable for either a guy or a girl - and could easily be back masculine or feminine just by changing up the colours!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Zebra Background

Other:
Headline Alphabet stamp set, Mini Blooms stamp set (Papertrey Ink)
Brown Leather Satchel ink (Clear And Simple Stamps)
Vintage Cream cardstock (Papertrey Ink)

I'll be back again soon to share another project, have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!
