Mini Notebook Stocking Stuffers

Are you an elf helper for Santa Claus? Get on the ball with these super sweet notebooks. They are a good size to slip into purses, the car, the locker at school, or a stocking!





By using Santa's Candy Cane scented Gelly Powder, these notebooks smell sweet to!
To make it extra special, monogram each one. Here I used gold duct tape for the binding and the monogram. Not only does it add holiday glitz, but it helps keep the new cover bound together.

Supplies:
Gel-a-tins: Gingerbread House
Santa's Candy Cane scented Gelly Powder
Colored Inks
Sakura Pen

Adorable Ornaments!

Christmas is tomorrow so I wanted to share a couple of ornaments I made for my tree. The first one I just altered a little red bucket I found at Hobby Lobby. I added an Elle's Studio tag and then some embossed snowflakes from the mini retro flakes and sayings stamp set. The embossing powder is scented - Santa's candy cane. It smells as good as it sounds!

 

 

For my second ornament, I altered a CD and used the same stamp set and embossing powder. I also had some help from my Cricut; I cut the snowflakes from the Joys of the Season cartridge.

 

 

 



Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy your holiday!

Candy Cane Joy

Hi everyone! It's getting close to Christmas now and I've one more Gel-à-Tins project to share with you before then!

Today I'm bringing you a quick and easy card featuring the Gelly Jr's Candy Cane stamp!

Did you know that with some creative masking this stamp can be so much more than a candy cane? Let me show you:



Pretty neat huh?!



I started by stamping the candy cane onto white cardstock. With some creative stamping and partial inking I was able to turn it into the letter 'y' and the letter 'o'!



I wanted to keep this card very simple so all I did was trim the letters out, spray the letters with adhesive, coat with glitter and adhere to the base with dimensional glue gel and that was it!


Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Gelly Jr's Candy Cane

Other:
Berry Sorbet ink (Papertrey Ink)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Spray Adhesive
Crystal Fine Glitter (Martha Stewart)


I'd love to know what you think of this project. Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon - and Merry Christmas!!

Gelly Gem Ornaments

Need a few cards for the really special people on your list? What could be better than shiny Christmas ornaments?

 I used thin ruled dies to cut out my ornaments and the bows. The green one is made from suede paper, but the red ones are made from Gelly Gem Roll Ups. I love that they can be cut with my dies. When you have plenty of dies, it is wonderful to find new media they can cut!

Who wouldn't enjoy this sparkly card? What can you make with Gelly Gem Roll Ups? We would love to see!

Check back often. We will always try to inspire you to get crafty.

Decked Out Gingerbread House

I had so much fun creating this gingerbread house scene with the “Gingerbread House” and "Groovy Santa" collections!



It was probably 6AM when I got inspired to stamp and fussy-cut and emboss this card. Luckily everyone sleeps away from my craft room because using my heat gun to emboss the Gelly Powder that early in the morning is no quiet task!



I heat embossed “Santa’s Candy Cane” Gelly Powder on the top of my snow hills to give them dimension. I stamped and heat embossed the snowflakes. I also stamped the gingerbread house twice so I could fussy cut and layer the snowy roof and chimney. Both were heat embossed with the Gelly Powder.

For windows and doors I stamped the candy accents, fussy-cut the stamped images and then adhered them to the house. I embellished the stamped candy canes and gumdrops with Crystal Effects and glitter.



You can see all the layers I created in this wintery gingerbread house card in the above picture.

Clean and Simple for the Holidays

Hello, everyone! It's Jessi from Kissin' Krafts. Are you working on your Holiday cards? Trying to come up with a design and feel that your time is running out? Clean and Simple (CAS) cards are the way to go!

Here is a very simple card that can be made in the masses:



Today I used the Groovy Santa set. The first step is to cut and fold an A2 card. Next, choose a image to stamp several times along the left side of the card. (I used one of the snowflakes from the Groovy Santa set. Now it is time for the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto kraft cardstock and cut it out on a banner. The sentiment is added to the card using foam dots to add dimension to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying all the holiday creations that the gel-a-tins Design Team have been showing to you!


Have a great day!!!!

Vintage Tags

Are you tied up in string and have tape stuck to your hair? Take a moment from your gift wrapping and create some tags for those presents.
Think of your wrapping paper style and colors when designing your tags. I decided to go vintage with these Groovy Santa tags. I added a faux paper reinforcement by stamping the shutter from "Gingerbread house" and then punching out a hole and adding an eyelet. A little color and a touch of sparkle is perfect for this kraft tag set. I edged the tags in white pigment ink to soften the color a bit.

Stamped Snowflake Ribbon!

This week I'm sharing a Christmas layout. I found this photo from when I was about three years old.

I used Gelatins mini retro flakes & sayings stamp set. I stamped on the scalloped ribbon using Poppy Parade ink by Stampin' Up. I arranged several stamps on my acrylic block and stamped on the ribbon. Then I removed those stamps & chose some different ones. After arranging those on my acrylic block, I stamped on the ribbon, alternating the pattern with the first set of stamping. I also attached a strip of silver gelly gems roll-ups for some extra bling to the layout. I'm dying to get my hands on the pretty red & pink gelly gems, as well as the studded!

Thanks for stopping by this week. Can't wait to see some of your Christmas projects!
