Ticket To My Heart

I have been finding lots of inspiration from the Admission Is Free collection from Gel-A-Tins Stamps.  It is such a versatile set with some cute sentiments to go along with the great ticket stamps.

This simple card is perfect for any day!  Just pop it into your child's lunchbox or leave for hubby in his card.  Such a sweet reminder of how much they mean to you.

Beary Love

Hello, gel-a-tins friends! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! 

Today I am sharing a card I made using the gel-a-tins Honey Bear stamp set! 

This card uses the Masking technique used to make it look like one stamped image is in front of another!

The first bear image is stamped onto the card. One more bear image is stamped on a spare piece of cardstock and cut out. The cut -out image is placed over the one stamped on the card. I used the Love You stamp from the Honey Bear set to form the background. The sentiment is stamped in a darker color to stand out.  The heart is from gel-a-tins Gingerbread House stamp set. The last step was my attempt at shade coloring with Spectrum Noir. I am still learning :)

Thank you for stopping by today!  We hope that you will stop by gel-a-tins FACEBOOK page and our PINTEREST page!

Animal Prints

Animal Prints can be whimsical or classical/elegant.

It just depends on what you pair up with your print.  

Here is a whimsical fun, free standing pop cup card.

Collapsed View.

Check out those red Dew Drops!

Pulled out, free standing and paired up with the funny dogs from Gel-a-tins' "Cosmo Pups."

I "woof" those patterned pups!  Super fun and happy images!!

Paper: Glitter Paws from Robin's Nest

To put this fun card together, I used Glue Dots © 1 " lines, Craft, and Mini Glue Dots ©.

They really make craft projects come together neatly, and quickly.  

Check the tutorial I posted a while back if you want to make your own free standing popup card.

I chose to use Lovebug Creations William (in the Family Ties Collection) colored Rumple Ribbon for the ribbon pull.

Black, white, cardinal, and straw...

A fabulous color combo (especial for those Chi Omega sisters out there)!

But, if you want to go elegant, Black and White Animal Print is a great start for your paper crafting!

You can really see the shine and shimmer of the glitter-fied cardstock!  

Here I added the Kraft chipboard from Gina's Designs.

These laser cut chipboard designs are so well cut!

I sponged the edges of the bottles to create some depth. 

The primas were sponged to give them a more deeper, subtle color.

The sentiment comes from Gel-a-tins "Admission is Free" set.

I love these timeless sentiments which will convey your message to the recipient!

Thanks for visiting today!

happy tails to you!

Hey everyone! I'm sharing another card using the Cosmo Pups stamp set. I just love these cute little puppies, but the little paw stamps are precious too. There are 15 stamps included in this set!

Here's the card I made using two of the puppies + a sentiment stamp. I stamped the sentiment with Prima chalk ink in tin can, which is a lovely silver & it looks so good on the chalk label from American Crafts.

As always, stop by my blog today for more details about my card. Thanks for visiting today!

Celebrate!

Good morning and happy Saturday, gelly fans!  I'm really happy to be back again to share another card with you this week!

For this one I started with the kit that I bought at a local scrapbook convention.  It came with some papers and embellishments and I chose the Sewing Kit and Sweet to the Core sets to go along with it for a fun look.  The kit is all by My Mind's Eye and I loved the colors and the vintage look and I wanted to add to that with my stamps.  This is what I came up with:

 



I wanted that main embellishment up top to be the apple, but I added a little stamped button up there too.  I stamped the image on one of the patterned papers, cut it out, ran it through my Xyron 150 with the stamped image upside down and then stuck it to the back side of a clear button to make that embellishment.  The stitching on the bottom is also from the Sewing kit set.  I wanted a vintage fair look and I think the stamps really helped with that!

Thanks for coming by today!  Have a great weekend!

Independence Day

Hi everyone! So nice to see you again! :-)

I'm a day late because of the posting schedule but I am bringing you a little card to celebrate Independence Day featuring the Gel-à-Tins Crackle Paint and Super Star stamp sets!

Pairing these two sets together made for a modern and funky take on the Star Spangled Banner:

I think this turned out pretty cool!

I stamped the crackle for the stripes using a red ink, then stamped my stars in navy, and that's all that was needed for this card! 

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Crackle Paint, Super Star

Other:
Pure Poppy ink (Papertrey Ink), Navy ink (Hero Arts)
Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink)

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

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

Watercolor gel-a-tins FUN

Happy, Tuesday gel-a-tins fans! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! 

Lately, I have been on a watercolor kick! So why not pair up watercolors with gel-a-tins stamps!

Today I am using gel-a-tins Big & Wild Things and Merci stamp sets:

Using a variety of colors, I created a sunset scene with the watercolors. Once the paint dried, I stamped a grass image from the gel-a-tins Big & Wild Stamp set. The image is stamped in dark brown and light tan inks. A simple sentiment is stamped on a strip of cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by today! We hope that you will join us on FACEBOOK and PINTEREST!

Your ticket to happiness!

I have been enjoying Gel-a-tin's "Admission is Free" set.

Don't you just love how you can mix and match the sentiments

to create a fabulous, personalized card!

To create smooth ticket corners, I used a small circle punch.

A square,10 inch piece of paper is the base of this fun fold card.

The Rumple Ribbon ties it all together.

Inside view.

I thought this blue/green/orange color combo was such a fun birthday color combo.

What is your favorite combination of colors for a birthday day?

Thanks for stopping by today,
