My Gelli Prints Album All Done!

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! This week I've been playing with my Gelli Art Prints journal and I've been making some bits and bobs.

 

This is where we left it last week with my pages cut and stitched to different sizes.

I've cut out some tags with my Graphic 45 dies.

I've also made some photo mats, and file folders, and there are the tags and Rolodex cards from previous projects.

These are my 6x6 pocket pages.

And these are whopping 9x6 pockets!

Here they are in the journal. I've just made a little hinge for the tag so that it slides straight in!.

My 3x3 pages look so cute with the additional tags and file folder.

And the Rolodex cards look good on the covers.

It was never my intention to finish the album. I just wanted something that I could pick up and create in when I had a few spare moments.

The collection is available in Sally's store in both digital and physical formats.

Live Every Moment

Good morning and a very happy Sunday.

Today I'm back at Relatively Thoughtful Towers, and again I've been using the beautiful Gelli Art Prints 12x12 and 8x8 collections. This time I've made a journal.

I used the Eileen Hull Traveller journal dies, which I've had for years but not used for ages (that's a bit of a common theme with all of my stash)

I wanted a journal with pages that I could take out so this fits the bill perfectly.

I have lots of different sized pages, ranging from 3x3 to 8x8 and 9x6.

This one is a full 12x12 sheet. It's just been folded in half and then in half again. I sewed it down the centre to make two pocket pages.

These sheets are from the 8x8 collection. I've made a hinge and attached the 8x8 sheets to it.

The pages have been sewn around 3 sides with the tops being left open to form pockets.

These are two full 12x12 sheets. I cut them down to 9x12.

I stitched the 9x12 down all 4 sided and straight through the middle.

I folded the remaining 12x3 strips in half and in half again and glued and stitched them together to form 2 3x3 folded pages.

This is how they all look in the journal.

I've used a piece of Little Birdie chipboard on the front cover.

The collections are available here in Sally's store in both digital and physical formats.

Tag It On

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing some tags made with the wonderful Gelli Art Prints collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

These were really simple to make. First of all I just cut some tags with a Tim Holtz die. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that the 3 I started with were not the 3 that I ended up with. People say that there are no mistakes in art - tell that to the big blue filing cabinet under my desk lol.

For this one, I added some stencilling with white acrylic paint to knock it back a little. Then I just added some stamping.

This is such a lovely gentle colour so no knocking back required.

I think this one may be my favourite. I added so stencil paste through a stencil, and then once dry I sanded it back a little. I love how the sanded edges look, and certainly wasn't going to cover it up with any stitching.

Once the tags were done I dyed some seam binding to match and we're all done.

The papers come in both digital and physical formats and can be found here in Sally's store. There's also a fun challenge running this week for the chance to win the digital collection so please join in.

An Envelope Album For Relatively Thoughtful

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. It's Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK which means that I don't have to get up ridiculously early tomorrow for my swim!

Today I'm sharing an envelope album that I made with Karola's fabulous Gelli Art Print papers from Relatively Thoughtful.

I started by cutting my papers to 10x10 and making them into envelopes.

Then I stuck the envelopes together to form my album.

I applied washi tape to the edges and sewed all around to make sure it all stays together.

Each opening has a 6.25 photo mat inside.

Bits of stamping and some inserts on the envelope flaps.

And it's all tied together with pretty ribbon!

The digital version of the prints can be found here in the store, and the physical papers are here in 6x6, 8x8, and 12x12.

Have a lovely long weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

An Accordion Card For Relatively Thoughtful

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing an accordion card that I made using the beautiful Gelli Art Print papers designed by Karola for Relatively Thoughtful.

All three pages (5x5) were cut from the same sheet of 12x12 paper. Then I added some background stamping in the same colours as the paper, along with some texture paste.

People sometimes ask why I sew everything, I just think it adds a nice frame.

This is how the card looks opened out.

I love these gorgeous lady stamps by Stamperia!

I have loads of dresses just like this one! 🤣🤣

I really like how the Dina Wakley script stamp looks in the background.

The paper versions can be found here in 6x6, 8x8, and 12x12.

 The digital version can be found here.

I hope you like my card and all the inspiration that can be found here on our Facebook page.

Have a lovely day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking xx

 

A Happy Heart For Relatively Thoughtful

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing a wooden heart that I made with the beautiful Gelli Art Print papers by my teamie Karola for Relatively Thoughtful.

I started by attaching a sheet of the 12x12 paper to a wooden heart with gel medium and sanding away the edges. Then I added some stencilling with paint and Izink Ice.

Then I die cut a smaller heart and added more texture paste and a piece of lace.

The sentiment is a Dena Wakley stamp and I thought that it fitted in perfectly with the stencilling.

The bird is also a Dina stencil.

Aren't these papers beautiful, so much colour!

These papers can be found here in the store, in both digital and physical paper format.
