Happy Birthday

 

 

For this card I combined many of the great stamps from the gel-a-tins range.  I wanted to create a funky and bright birthday card that would suit a teenager.  I had some new Neon markers and thought that this was the ideal way to give them a try.

Products Used

 

gel-a-tins 'Brick Wall' background stamp

gel-a-tins 'Raindrops Are Falling' stamp set

gel-a-tins 'Stars' set

gel-a-tins 'Mini retro Flakes and Sayings' stamp set

gel-a-tins 'SWAK' stamp set

StazOn ink

Xyron 150 X

Letraset Promarkers 'Neon' set

Shoe Laces

5"x7" Card Blank

 

 

I stamped the 'Brick Wall' onto the blank base card using the StazOn ink. 



 

The markers worked great with the stamps, just rub across the surface and stamp away.

 

 

The neon combined with the stamps give a graffiti effect.

 

 

 A strip from the neon shoe lace instead of ribbon gives it a little more 'Street Cred'

 

 

Kiss, Kiss

Do you ever find yourself completely stumped as to what a layout needs to give it a complete look?  I had this layout sitting on my desk for a week. It just wasn't complete; it just needed "something."  That "something" was a border of kisses compliments of the S.W.A.K. stamps.  

This simple border was stamped onto smooth white Bazzill cardstock using a deep red ink.  I repeated the pattern of 3 kisses, 3 times.

These fun whimsical kisses totally played on the kissy face my daughter has in the bottom photo of her and her friends on Valentine's Day.

gel-a-tins Crackle Clover

Hello, gel-a-tins fans! Do you like to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? If so, how! Do you wear green? Drink beer? Eat some Irish food?

Today's creation is a simple card to make!

I used gel-a-tins Crackle Paint background stamp to add the textured look to the shamrock leaves (simple heart shaped cardstock). I used three of them to form the clover. A bright red button and lime twine is added to the center of the shamrock.

The last step was to add the sentiment and attach the shamrock rhinestones.

Gelly Gem Altered Pegs

Hi everyone! How are you doing today? :-)

I've got another awesome Gelly Gem project today! Since I got these babies I seem to want to stick them on everything, lol! So today, I'm bringing you some mini altered pegs:

Cute huh? And so so glitzy and elegant thanks to all that bling!

I used some strong adhesive tape to adhere a strip of gems to one side of each peg, and some glue gel to secure a single gem on the reverse. To keep the tape from being sticky where there were no gems I sprinkled on some crystal glitter.

These little pegs also had a hole on one side so I added some silver cord and that was them all snazzed up and ready to go!

Here I've shown them holding tags, and dressing up a vintage milk bottle. But they could also be hung up and sporting family photos, special keepsakes... anything really! And thanks to the gorgeous Gelly Gems bling they also look super-sophisticated and perfect to grace any location!

Supplies used:

Gel-à-Tins:

Silver Gelly Gems

Other:

Crystal Fine Glitter (Martha Stewart)

Sterling Silver Cord (Clear And Simple Stamps)

Scor-Tape

Spray adhesive (Crafter's Companion)

Pinflair Glue Gel

I'll be back again soon to share another project, have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Thank You

 

My obsession with the gel-a-tins Doodle Flower Stamp continues!!.  It is so versatile and can easily be used in so many different style of card.  Today I made a bright and funky Thank You card.

 

Products Used

gel-a-tins 'Doodle Flower' Jelly Jr Stamp

StazOn Black Ink Pad

Xyron Mega Runner

Xyron 150 X

Echo park 'A walk in the Park' 12 x12 Collection

Plastic Drinking Straw

Scraps of Ribbon

Foam Pads

5"x7" Card Blank

 

I cut the base paper to size and adhered to the base card using the Xyron Mega Runner.

 

 

 

I stamped the 'Doodle Flower' using the StazOn Ink onto contrasting papers, I cut them out.  I glued the two shortened straws to the base of the card and used foam pads to hold the flowers in place.

 

The 'Thank You' topper was cut from a larger sheet from the collection, this is held in place over the straws using the foam pads.

The ribbon was run through the Xyron 150 X and wrapped around the green card. The green card is then attached to the bottom of the card using foam pads, this gives it lift over the straws.

Raining All Around

I do so love the quotes and rainy day images in the "Raindrops Are Falling" collection! The card I am sharing today highlights a multi-media tag utilizing both the "Raindrops Are Falling Collection" and the "Crackle Paint" background stamp.

Raining All Around_card_gel-a-tins by ktbomb15, on Flickr

I started with a card sketch from My Sketch World (http://www.mysketchworld.com). The tag was created by cutting a piece of patterned paper with a tag die and decoupaging a couple pieces of a coordinating pattenered paper randomly on the tag.

I spread a thin layer of gesso over a good portion of the tag and then impressed the "Crackled Paint" stamp into the gesso. Doesn't that have such a cool background effect?

Once the gesso dried, I randomly stamped the umbrellas, from "Raindrops Are Falling," over the tag with matching Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink and added the sentiment, also from "Raindrops Are Falling," in black Archival Ink.

Sweet gel-a-tins Thanks

Hello, gel-a-tins fans! It is Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts. Today I am excited to share my newest creation using gel-a-tins products.

I would like to show you this card using gel-a-tins Sweet Hearts, Honey Bear and gelly gem roll-ups:

To decorate the cupcake, I used black embossing powder to raise the edges of the outline. The frosting is made using puffy paint. Markers were used to color in the hearts and cupcake liner. Gelly gem roll-ups are made to look like sprinkles on cupcake.

This card is created using a variety of patterned papers. The sentiment (from Honey Bear) is stamped, repeatedly, onto one of the strips of paper.

Thank you for stopping by gel-a-tins! Check out gel-a-tins for the variety of stamps and gelly gems available!
