Out Of This World Gift Bag

I am so loving the "Take Me To Your Leader" Collection.  It is just fun and flexible.  From cards to layouts to even gift bags, this collection of stamps takes you to another galaxy.

Kate here today.  I am sharing a cute gift bag altered with all of the stamps in the "Take Me To Your Leader."

The plain green gift bag that I started out with needed a bit of sprucing up, so I decided to create a fun border.  To create this border, I cut a white 2.5" x 9.75" strip of white stamping paper.  I lined up each of the stamps from "Take Me To Your Leader" on my Fiskars Stamping Press to make sure the images lined up correctly and were evenly spaced.

I glued the stamped strip onto the green gift bag and added a border of orange ribbon on the top and bottom.  Such a fun gift bag for any boy!

Intergalatic Card

Hello Gel-A-Tins fans!  Kate sharing with you today. 

I got a package with a bunch of stamps from Gel-A-Tins Stamps a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely thrilled with the cool "Take Me To Your Leader" Collection and was inspired to created this intergalatic card right away.  

I used Core'dinations Cardstock for the whole card, even the stamping.  I love the textured look of my stamped planets!

Here are the simple instructions for this card:

1. Create a 4.5" x 6" card base with Core'dinations Neutral Cardstock.
2. Emboss a piece of 4.25" x 5.75" Black Magic Core'dinations Cardstock.
3. Sand the embossed cardstock so the blue shows.
4. Add round spots of color with Distress Paints to the round Core'dinations Core Tag.
5. Stamp Alien image from Gel-A-Tins TMTYL collection onto the painted Core Tag.
6. Stamp planet images from Gel-A-Tins TMTYL collection onto cardstock and fussy cut. 
7. Half-way down the left side of the embossed Black Magic cardstock, cut a circle shape out big enough to place the decorated Core Tag into.  (I left enough room in my circle to let the background grey show through and for the tag to overlap off the Black Magic cardstock)
8. Adhere the embossed Black Magic Cardstock onto the cardbase with Helmar Premium Craft Glue. 
9. Use Helmar ZapDots to give the planets and alien a bit of a boost! 
10. Add random brads to finish off the card. 
11. Share with someone special. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Different Is Good

Hi everyone! Aren't you glad it's the weekend?! :-)

Today I'm bring you another fun card featuring the Gel-à-Tins Take Me To Your Leader stamp set!

I love finding quirky ways to use stamps and decided to create a design featuring just one of the robots but in a different way:

Fun huh?!

I started with some steel cardstock and stamped the pattern of robots with a co-ordinating ink. I then overstamped one of them with watermark ink and embossed with red embossing powder.

To finish up the design I added a sticker sentiment that really captured the spirit of this card! Love how it turned out!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Take Me To Your Leader

Other:
I Steel Got It ink (Clear And Simple Stamps), Versamark ink (Tsukineko)I Steel Got It cardstock (Clear And Simple Stamps)
Apple Red embossing powder (WOW!)

I'm looking forward to seeing you again when I next post! Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

You Are Out Of This World

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! :-)

Today I'm bring you a fun mini card featuring the Gel-à-Tins Shifting Gears and Take Me To Your Leader stamps!

I really wanted to create a cute boy-themed card with these sets, and the space theme from Take Me To Your Leader led me to this:

Fun huh?!

I started with some silver cardstock and embossed the robots/aliens and the 'planet' and sentiment using clear embossing powder. I really wanted these guys to live on a gear planet, isn't it cute?!

To finish up the design and take it into subspace I sprayed and splattered the card with mists then wiped off the excess from the embossed images. I love this quick and easy emboss resist technique, and the results really look like a space scene!
