Monday Funday!

Good morning to all you gelly fans out there!  I hope everyone got to enjoy their weekend.  Mine was great!  Lots of work and fun on Saturday and lots of relaxing on Sunday.  Please be sure to check out our Monthly Challenge for this month and our DT call that's going on right now.  You have until the 18th to get your DT entry in and you have until the 30th for the challenge.  Don't miss out!

Today I have another one of my cards to share with you!  I have been a card-making fool lately and I think I'm starting to enjoy it!  If you know me, you know that I struggle with cards.  Trying to make them pretty while also keeping them flat enough that you can still mail them can be hard, but I'm getting better at it :)  For this one I used the You're So Tweet set.  I spent a fair amount of time fussy cutting the birds, but that's only because I don't plan.  I just make a bunch of stuff and decide what I want to do with it.  So, after layering with different thicknesses of foam adhesive, I have a card with a lot of dimension that should be totally safe to send off to a friend (while still being cute!).

Materials Used:

Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket

Stamps: gel-a-tins You're So Tweet

Ink: Staz-On and Ranger

Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels

Distress Stickles by Ranger

Karin is a master card maker.  I love her work and this card is no exception!

"For this card I've used stamps from Build a Flourish for the background and the stamps from this beautiful set are just perfect for that. To get a more vintagey touch to this "homemade" pattered paper I used my inkblender and Tea Dye Cham Ink. Ribbon from Reprint and the sentiment is from another great Gel-a-tin set: Happy Days."

Ink from Tim Holtz/Ranger's Distress inks; Peeled paint and Victorian Velvet

Have a great day!

Celebrate with gel-a-tins!

Today we have three more beautiful cards to inspire you! 

The first is by Natalie.  She used the Happy Days set for this card.  Using two inks and layering the words really makes those stamps pop!

What do you get when you add bright papers, bright inks and bling to your gel-a-tins?  This fabulous card by Cassie.  She used three of the different stamps from the Butterflies are Free set and the look is summery and perfect!

Ink: SU Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, Real Red
Paper: Alphabet Soup MME, unknown orange
Accessories: blue ribbon, pink rhinestones

This card was made by DT member Angela.  She used the Spin Cycle set to make that gorgeous background paper.  Using a  monochromatic color scheme makes for such a pretty card!

Happy Days!

Check out this great distressed card by Sheree!  She used the Happy Days stamp set for the greeting, and backing it with card stock that matches the ink really grabs your attention.

Now, just look at this beautiful card by Gladys. Her greeting was made with one of the stamps from the Many Thanks set.  Stamped, cut out and made into a tag, it looks adorable tied to the front of the card with baker's twine.  She embellished the card by using a stamp from the Put a Cap On It stamp set to make a flower that she backed with layers of doilies.  What a great idea!
