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!!

I {Heart} You

Hey everyone! Welcome to another Gel-à-Tins post!

I'm back today with a quick and simple loved up card - but one that really makes an impact!!

I love alphabet stamps. They are perfect for creating unique sentiments or adding that little extra personal touch. I just adore the Laugh Out loud set from Gel-à-Tins - the font is so fun!! I really wanted to make it the star of the show for this card - and this is the result:



I love how how this turned out!! I've seen similar ideas executed before in blogland but I really wanted to try my hand at it too!



This card couldn't be simpler really. I placed all my letters on one acrylic block, the removed the 'i', 'o' and 'u'. I then stamped the whole block down on a white card base.



I then stamped the 'i' and the 'u' in red ink. I wanted to replace the 'o' with a heart, so I stamped that on a separate piece of cardstock, carefully trimmed out and then adhered with dimensional glue gel - and that's all there is to it!!


Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Laugh Out loud Lowercase stamp set

Other:
Simple Valentine stamp set (Papertrey Ink)
Smokey Shadow ink, Pure Poppy ink (Papertrey Ink), Versafine Onyx Black ink, Versamark ink (Tsukineko)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)

I'd love to know what you think of this card. Thanks for stopping by!!

Thank you, gel-a-tinas!

I would like to start today off with a HUGE thank you to the gel-a-tinas that have been with us for the last six months.  I hope you've enjoyed the projects that they've shared with us over their term.  Thank you so much girls for all your hard work!

Next week starts the term for the new team.  Keep an eye out for their posts starting May 8th!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made using one of the new sets called Safari Friends.

This set has that adorable corner detail that I used to make a frame on the card background, and it has some sweet little animals that match.  I chose to add a little embellishment to this with the elephant stamp.  The sentiment was stamped with the Laugh Out Loud alpha and the White On! gelly powder.  For the elephant I used the Hawaiian Paradise scented embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies Used:
Adhesive:  Xyron
Ink:  Versamark and Staz-On black
Twine: The Twinery
Papers: Sassafrass Lass, K&Co, WRMK
Paper strip:  Bazzill
Die:  Spellbinders by Xyron

A fun Valentine's Day treat!

Hey there!  It's Jessica posting again today.  This is a little project I thought I'd make and surprise my kids with on Valentine's Day.  I think they'll be perfect filled with some strawberry milk :)

I used the A Hundred Hearts set on these.  The detail with this set is so amazing and I love all the stamps in the set so I've been using them a lot.  I also used the Laugh Out Loud alpha on the main hearts to add my boys' first initials.  The flags on the paper straws are very easy to make.  I just cut strips of paper, stamped them with the greeting then ran them trough my Xyron 150.  All you have to do is fold them in half around the straw and cut the ends into points.  The bottles are just frappuccino bottles that I saved and washed out after removing the labels.

I hope you like these and that you're finding lots of inspiration here on the blog.  Be sure to like us on Facebook so you can get our daily updates and learn about specials and contests!
