Love Knot Tags

Happy Wednesday Gel-A-Tins Fans!  Kate here today, sharing two gift tags I created using the Love Knots background stamp. These tags could easily be used to adorn a gift box, gift bag or wine bottle.  

The background on both of my tags was created by spreading some Walnut Tim Holtz Distress Paint all over a Core'dinations CoreTag.  I swiped the paint off with a baby wipe in random spots to create an uneven, but smooth effect.  On top of this painted background, I stamped the Love Knot stamp using brown Archival Ink. 

 The "Thanks For Everything" sentiment on my first tag was stamped using the Admission is Free collection.  Again, I used brown Archival Ink to stamp the sentiment.

The "To" and "From" sentiment stamps are from Groovy Santa.  Such a fun font and perfect for this tag!

Next time you need a cute tag, pull out your stamps and have some fun! ~ Kate

Joy, Peace and Love

This week I put together a tag using mainly die cut pieces by Amy Tan. I used the mini retro flakes & sayings stamp & walnut stain distress ink.

 

Here is a close up of the stamping:

 



I cut a piece of the silver gelly gem off & adhered it at the bottom. You can't go wrong with a little bling!

Super Star Tag

Hi everyone! It's great to be with you today! Today I'm sharing a funky tag I made using the Gel-à-Tins Super Star set!

I love stars, especially funky ones like these! I decided they should steal the show and star in plenty of bright colours:



Pretty fun huh?! Let me tell you what I did!



I started by die cutting a tag from cream cardstock. I then stamped the stars in a variety of colours in a random fashion. Sometimes chaos is better than order!



I then stamped the letters to allude to the 'Super Star' statement of this tag, allowing careful positioning so that the next 'character' was that yellow star itself!



Some ribbon and twine were all that was then needed to finish off this tag!





Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Super Star

Other:
Military Stars stamp set (Papertrey Ink)
On Broadway Alphabet stamp set (A:Muse)
Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Hibiscus Burst, Harvest Gold, Limeade Ice, Hawaiian Shores inks (Papertrey Ink), Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko)

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.

I then stamped a couple of jack-o-lanterns on orange and purple cardstock using black ink, trimmed them out and adhered with dimensional glue gel. I added a stamped 'stamp' image in black to add a bit of interest to the tag.



All that was left was to add a ribbon/twine treatment and I was done!!

Sweet Cakes Tag

Hi everyone! Great to see you here again!

Today I'm bringing you a sweet tag featuring the Sweet Cakes set from Gel-à-Tins! It's no secret that I have a sweet spot for cupcakes and cupcake stamp sets - and this set is no exception! I just love the mix 'n' match options for the cupcake frosting and the little extra images too!

I wanted to create a quick little gift tag and this one came together pretty quickly:



What do you think? Good enough to eat?!

I started by stamping the cupcake frosting and wrapper onto patterned paper and trimmed them out. I sprayed the frosting with adhesive and added some glitter before adhering the frosting to the case.



I then die cut a tag from white cardstock and stamped it repeatedly with the cherries stamp to create a fun background. I added the hole reinforcer, cut from a different colour cardstock and some twine.



Finally I added a sweet sentiment and adhered my cupcake and I was done!

Love Knots tag by Taheerah

Hey everyone! I've missed you guys!

I'm back today with more Love Knots goodness! I just can't get enough of this baby, lol!

The last Love Knots tag I made was before I joined Gel-à-Tins and I think it was kinda vintage/rustic/masculine in style. Today's tag is more feminine in my opinion:



I die-cut the tag from coaster board then stamped that gorgeous woodgrain pattern. I just love it so much!



I added some little details such as the chevron stamped sideways down the tag, stamped numbers and sentiment and the 'Vintage' header. Lots of little details like that really add some character, and there's always more to see every time you look at it!



My love of fussy cutting really shows with the tightrope walker that I stamped and cut out! But it was worth all that effort!!


Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Love Knots stamp set

Other:
Postmarks, Button Boutique, Background Basics: Chevron Stripes stamp sets (Papertrey Ink)

Honey Bear baby gift set

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me here again today!!

When I got my Honey Bear stamp set from Gel-à-Tins I just couldn't get over how cute that little bear was! All I could think was how he'd be perfect for a baby project. So that's what I set about making! It's always fun to try and find different uses for your stamps isn't it?!

I settled on the idea of a baby bib and card gift set. I've wanted to try stamping on fabric for ages and now seemed like the perfect time!

I wanted to keep the gift set gender neutral so I settled on a colour palette of browns and creams:



How cute is that?! Doesn't that little bear work perfectly for a baby project?!



I started by taking a used, washed bib and stamping the bear in brown ink. I found that to stamp well on fabric using quite a bit of pressure and keeping the stamp on the fabric longer than you would on cardstock helped transfer the image well and give good results. You may need to stamp the image twice as well, but that's what's great about the clear stamps from Gel-à-Tins - they make that process so easy!!



After stamping my little bear I coloured him with some Copic markers. I wanted to keep the design simple so all that was needed to finish off was a cute sentiment and some hearts. So adorable!!



I didn't stop there and created a cute little card to accompany the set:



I used that adorable little bear again and kept the design fairly CAS, accenting only with some patterned paper and ribbon in co-ordinating colours.



No gift set is complete without some cute packaging! I set about creating a little clear gift bag, embellished with glitter and adorned with a matching bear tag!



Doesn't he look all cute and perfect?



Here's the set all packaged up, all ready to give to a lucky recipient:






Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Honey Bear

Other:
Half Pint Heroines (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Simply Valentine, Baby Button Bits, Fillable Frames #5 (Papertrey Ink)
Dark Chocolate ink (Papertrey Ink)

I'd love to hear what you think about this cutie little set!! Do you ever find some fun alternative uses for your sets? I'd love to hear about it!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Chevron-Tastic tag by Taheerah

Hi everyone, and welcome to my first Gel-à-Tins post! I'm so excited to be sharing this little project today that I made using the favourite of my new stamp sets - Cheveron-Tastic!

Chevrons are so on trend at the moment, and this new set from Gel-à-Tins totally embraces that! I can see myself using this set over and over - expect lots of projects from me using it!! The chevrons are of different sizes and plenty of them can nuzzle right in with each other on the stamp block so you can stamp a whole pattern in no time!

For my first project I decided to make a funky gift tag:



Pretty cool huh?! I just love how fun and modern it is!

I started with a die-cut tag then stamped one of the chevron patterns using a few different colour inks. I let a couple of the chevrons cross each other for visual interest. I also added a couple on the vertical to change things up a bit! I added a sentiment and a die-cut, glittered frame for a fun finish.



Just check out that ribbon treatment! I picked a ribbon that would co-ordinate perfectly and tied it in a different way than normal, then added some other ribbon in a co-ordinating colour, then finally added some twine so the tag could be attached to a cute little gift bag or a fun package, like this one:



And another close-up of that gorgeous tag:



Can you imagine this tag stamped in a load of different colour combos?! That would make a great little gift in itself!!


Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Cheveron-Tastic

Other:
Framed Out #2 (Papertrey Ink)
Autumn Rose, Harvest Gold, Smokey Shadow & Melon Berry inks (Papertrey Ink)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Harvest Gold Satin Ribbon (Papertrey Ink)
Chevron Ribbon & Cream Twine (May Arts)
Dew Drops (craft stash)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)
Scor-Tape

I'd love to know what you think of this little tag. Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Pass it on...

Looking to give a little pick-me-up to someone special? These tags may be perfect. Created these tags using Gel-A-Tins Unbeleafable stamp set by simply stamping an image and die cutting a flower. Each die cut image was then backed with colorful scrap pieces of paper to make the flower cut-out pop.



I then used Gel-A-Tins Spin Cycle to give more detail to the quote strip of paper. Fun to mix and match the colors, find that perfect quote and just play with the layers.

Sizzix - circle die
October Afternoon - paper

Holiday Card by Andrea

Can't celebrate the holidays without a little sparkle right? Recently found myself picking up a few new wood items at my local craft store. Came across a few bare snowflake shapes and just knew a little paint and glitter might just make them perfect for my project today. So I pulled out my Gel-A-Tin Twas the Night Before Christmas stamps and went to work...

Created a border along the side of the card using "Christmas", the tree is stamped onto cardstock and lightly colored using Copic markers and the holly leaves beautifully accented the felt and pearl button. Love how each year there is no limit to the amount and variety of color to help brighten up our homes and crafting projects. Just don't forget the sparkle.

Gel-A-Tins Twas the Night Before Christmas

Bazzill Basics Paper - cardstock

Tags are a project for any holiday, but especially Christmas. School events, holiday parties, decorating a tree and topping a gift...so many ways to put your tags to good use.
