Bright & Cheery Card!

Happy Friday!  Kate here!  Sometimes an occassion just calls for a bright and colorful card.  Something cheery and happy.  

Today I am sharing a card that is very bright and cheery. I used Gel-A-Tins' "It's Your Day" Collection and Gelly Gems.  It is also chock-full of The Robin's Nest papers.  

I stamped the "It's Your Day" sentiment on textured cardstock.  

I cut out individual Gelly Gems to use as bling accents on the stars and the sentiment. 

This month the Gel-A-Tinas have the pleasure of designing with products from The Robin's Nest.  Be sure to check their blog and Facebook fan page. Be sure to tell them Gel-A-Tins Stamps sent you!

More Spring

As you probably have already read, this month the Gelatinas are partnering up with The Robin's Nest to show you some great things using this products!

The happy colors of The Robin's Nest' Sorbet collection just POP! against plain kraft paper.

I love that the blue papers of this collection are double sided. The back side is un-glittered and this gives you more options for your designs! Here I restamped the flowers from "Easter Bunnies"set onto the corner of the blue panel.  Tone on tone can give you some interest without taking away from the main panel.

Here I have used dew drops from Winter's Retreat to accent my card.  Yes, Winter's Retreat is probably my favorite dew drop collection!!  Take a peek at all the wonderful colors, shapes and collections of dew drops. What is your favorite?

What do you think about the Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations?

If you didn't see this Spring card on The Chattering Robins Company blog yesterday,

 be sure to go and read more about it!!

One more...using hand made embellies using Creative Paperclay ® and the swirls from

"Faberge Eggs."  Can you spot the Robin's Nest Papers here?

Easter Greetings card, better late than never!

I know Easter was a little over a week ago but I made this Easter card & I still wanted to share it.

This Gelatins stamp set is called Easter Bunnies. It also has some flowers & a "spring" sentiment so it's not just for Easter.

My card was made using two of the egg designs & the pretty paper is from Robin's Nest. We're teaming up with them this whole month!

The yellow looks pretty loud in this photo but it's not so bright in real life.

Thanks for stopping by to see my (late) Eater card. For more details, stop by my blog today.

Traffic Signs Tulips!

Hi everyone! It's so good to see you! :-)

Today I'm revisiting another classic Gel-à-Tins set - Traffic Signs!

You're probably thinking this set would be great for travel themed cards, which it would, but why let that be its only use? I love thinking of outside-the-box ways to use my stamps, and it was while I was playing with this set that I ended up with this:

Cute huh?!

I started by stamping the shield image in a variety of colours and cutting them out. I used one of the tyre track images to stamp the stems before adhering the flower heads with a hint of dimension, then added my sentiment! Simple!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Traffic Signs

Other:
Springtime Doodles stamp set (Papertrey Ink), This Way To Fun stamp set (Lawn Fawn)
Butter Bar, Raspberry Jam, Bubblegum, Tide Pool inks (Hero Arts), Smokey Shadow, Limeade Ice ink, (Papertrey Ink)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)

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

Beach Canvas featuring Robin's Nest

Hi folks, Sharon here from the gel-a-tins Design Team. I don't know about you guys but I cannot wait for the Summer to eventually get here!.  I am getting in the mood for sand and sea after getting my hands on the fab Robin's Nest Beach Collection of papers.

I covered the canvas with the single sheet of 12 x 12 paper and added elements from their sticker sheet.  To give it some natural texture I added real shells and some burlap. The gel-a-tins Chevron clear stamp set reminded me waves and worked perfectly.

Products Used

Rainy Day Fun!

Today I am sharing a fun mini-canvas bag that I altered using the Raindrops Are Falling Collection.

I stamped the sentiment and girl with the umbrella images with Archival Ink. 

This is really important on canvas because it does not bleed.  It DOES leave a 

wonderful sharp image! 

The big raindrops are stamped with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Ink.

They too, do not bleed into the canvas but leave a soft color, but a sharp image. 

April showers keep us indoors so many days here in Maine, so finding new ways

to re-invent fun activities is really important when you have children. Sometimes all it takes

to make an old game appealing is to just change its presentation. In this case the packaging.

This stamped mini-canvas would be fun for a sorting/counting buttons game, to store Jacks,

to keep a few brand new crayons for coloring.  The possibilities are endless!

Elegant Easter Greetings

Don't you love the Easter season?! I always find it very refreshing!

Hello, gel-a-tins fans! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts. Over the month of April, you will see projects created by our talented design team, using products from The Robin's Nest.

My card today uses gel-a-tins Easter Bunny stamp set and a variety of glitter paper/cardstock from The Robin's Nest:

I decided to stick with my CAS style, because the glitter is the star of the show. And I didn't want to crowd the stage. So I decided to use a simple sentiment from the Easter Bunnies stamp set to show the purpose of the card. The finishing touch was to add a few sequins pieces.

Spring Greetings

Your family maybe still be coming down from a sugar high, 

but there is plenty of spring left to use bunnies and 

elegant greetings.

This month, Gel-a-tins is teaming up with The Robin's Nest and their products.

The images are Easter Bunnies from Gel-a-tins.

The Damask Black and White Paper is from The Robin's Nest.

I kept this card elegant with the black and white colors.

But a punch of colors in the mats gives this card a perky "Yes it's spring!" feel!

Thanks for hopping by today!

have a little faith card.

This week I have a new stamp set to work with but I bet you won't recognize it on this card I made...

I used the build your own paisley floral stamp set - do you see it now?

The floral patterns in the set are really pretty & the stamps give great impressions. However, instead of using the paisley stamp on my card I punched circles out of the pattern. It's something different to try & gives your stamp set more versatility.

Here is a close up shot of the paisley floral print - isn't it pretty?!

 

Thanks for stopping by today & happy April Fool's day!
