thanks ever so much

Well, my term is over here at Gelatins stamps and for my last project I made a thank you card. Specifically, thank you ever so much - to Bonnie & Jessica and all of the team members who I've worked with over the past several months.

I'm grateful for this opportunity and all you have taught me.

I used the leopard background stamp on this card. The inks are farmer jeans and teal damask, both Prima chalk inks.

For more details about my card, check out my blog.

Blingy Love for gel-a-tins

Did you know that gel-a-tins has blingy gemstones along with all their awesome stamps? Today's project features the gel-a-tins gelly gem rolls.

The gelly gem rolls are available in a variety of colors. Perfect for a variety of projects! 

For this project, I cut the roll to fit the mat of the card. The simple sentiment is made using cardboard glitter stickers.

HI card

Hi! I made a card today using one of the Amy Tangerine embroidery templates. I thought the "hi" template would look great on a card.

I used the Happiness stamp set from Gelatins stamps. I liked the thin border stamp but I wanted to use it as a background so I stamped multiple times on the background of my card & alternated the acrylic block so the pattern was different.

Triple Sweet Card

Happy Wednesday! Kate here. Today I am sharing a triple sweet card with you.  

I used the Sweet Cakes stamp set to create the ice cream cones.  The ice cream was stamped using Quick Quotes Chalking Ink in the same pink tone as the cardstock, creating strawberry ice cream.  Each ice cream was then hand cut out to top the cones.

Have a sweet day!

A Rainbow Birthday!

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I'm back for the third time this week (sick me yet?) to share a little something with you :)

I decided that I wanted to use my stamps to make the background on this card and so I chose a birthday sentiment in a simple font from the Make a Wish set and stamped it over and over, staggering the placement of each line, with my different colors of ink pads.  I wanted that to be the main focus so when it came time to embellish I kept things pretty simple and just added a few items. 

That scalloped piece is by October Afternoon, the flags are Basic Grey and the ribbon is May Arts.  The star is old, and I can't remember where it came from (sorry!).  Looks like Fancy Pants to me though.  The background paper that I stamped over is my Simple Stories. 

I like this one a lot and I can see myself doing this technique over and over again with different stamps and sentiments.  It really didn't take long at all because I just had everything set out and ready to go.  My ink pads were all lined up in order and my stamp cleaning pad was used in between each color so it went fast.  This would be a lot of fun on a small card with a plain white background as well.  Try it out the next time you're in your crafty space!

Have a fun Saturday!  See you next week!

kisses card.

Hi everyone! I'm sharing a card I made using the leopard background stamp & the SWAK stamp set. I love animal prints & this is the perfect size for a background on a card. I used American Crafts pigment ink for the background stamp. The lips are from the SWAK stamp set & I used poppy parade ink from Stampin' Up.

For a complete supply list, please visit my blog today. Thanks for stopping by!

Yo!

Dork that I am, I based my card for today on the little chipboard piece that I used for the sentiment.  It was kind of too funny to resist :)

The chipboard piece and papers are from the Basic Grey Hipster collection and I paired them up with stamps from the Spin Cycle set.  The stamps added the color and interest I wanted on that layer and I think this is a really fun card that I can use to say hello to a friend one day.

I tried to match my Stampin' Up inks to the papers as  much as possible and I think they look pretty good.  I really like the way the distressed style of the Spin Cycle stamps goes with the papers. 

I hope you've been inspired this week and that you have some time to get creative!  Have a great Wednesday!

Simple Pleasures

Creating a simple card for any occassion is a super sweet task when you create with the Sweet Cakes Collection by Gel-A-Tins Stamps. I am just digging the fun cherry stamps that are included in this collection. 

I created the stamped cherry background using two different colors of ink by masking the stem and then the cherry when stamping.  The masking is easily done using some washi tape.

Loving the retro feel of the cherry image and color combo.  Very reminiscent of a dress I had during my childhood.

Wishing you a sweet day!

Big and Colorful!

Good morning, gel-a-tins friends! Who else is ready for these hot temperatures to go away? I know that I am! But one good thing about this weather...more time to stay inside and create!

I am in love with gel-a-tins Big & Wild Things! Today I am sharing a simple CAS card with a splash of color!

Using one of the big floral stamps from the Big & Wild Things, I stamped the image in one color. To add some POP to the card, dabs of watercolor are placed on each tip of the flower.

welcome baby [card].

Christmas In July

Today when I was trying to finish up a summer layout, my creativity was leaning me towards creating this great Santa card using the Groovy Santa Collection.  I wish motivation to make Christmas cards actually struck me when I need to make them. Sometimes I think that my creativity is seasonally challenged.  

I think this Santa stamp looks like he is saying "Ho, Ho, Ho."  Don't you?  I stamped the image and sentiment on a Core'dinations CoreTag after I had spritzed it with some Chalkboard Mist.

While I am definitely not wishing for Christmas anytime, I am happy to see that my Christmas card making mojo is still intact and hope that you enjoyed this bit of Christmas in July.

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!

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!

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!

I woof you [card].

If you know me, you know my love of dogs & this stamp set is no exception. How cute are these Cosmo Pups?

I made a simple CAS card with these stamps. I think this little guy in the lower right hand corner is adorable. I had to use him.

Be sure to check out this stamp in the shop & there's also another cute set with little dogs on it - Pet Shop.
