Clearly Stated

Just like any sign, you need to clearly state what you you are thinking...

And the stream-lined, sign-looking people in the "Home Sweet Home" set can 

help you get your message across.

Here, I used "Teal You Want" embossing powder 

and pieced the dress on this fashionable stick figure!

Thanks for checking out the Gel-a-tins Blog today!

'it's your day' pillowbox

Hey everyone! I'm sharing a pillowbox I made using two stamp sets from Gelatins Stamps. The stamp sets I used are Happiness & It's Your Day. 

Here's my project:

I used the one of the flower background stamps from the Happiness set to stamp in the middle of my tag. I masked off the edges first. The ink is Prima chalk ink in moss lawn. Then I used the it's your day sentiment with some Versafine ink.

You can see more of my project & a supply list at my blog, Markland & Main. Thanks for stopping by today1

Go Get 'Em Tiger!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! :-)

I'm sure you won't be surprised to see me feature another card created using the Gel-à-Tins Zebra Background stamp down! I don't have enough superlatives for how much I love this stamp!

It's always fun to change up the look a stamp gives just by varying your colours etc. For example a quick switch up of colour here and you have something that isn't zebra print at all:

Fun right?! This card would be just perfect to give to someone to wish them luck for a big interview, first day at work, and other occasions where someone might need encouragement or good luck wishes!

I stamped a tie image onto orange cardstock, trimmed it out, then stamped the zebra print over it. Love how it now looks like tiger stripes!

I added a fun sentiment using a typewriter alphabet font set. This goes so well with the overall idea, I just love it!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Zebra Background

Other:
His Birthday stamp set (Woodware), Typewriter Alphabet stamp set (MFT)
Versafine Onyx Black ink (Tsukineko)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink), Orange You Fabulous cardstock (Clear And Simple Stamps)
Pinflair Glue Gel (Olba)

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

Love is all around!

Does love put you all in a spin?.  These super fun 'Sweet Heart' Clear stamps certainly got me spinning around.  I used the circular 'Love' with some Amy Tangarine paper from the 'Sketchbook' pad and topped it off with some ribbon and a flower.

Love Is Like A Butterfly

Love is in the air! So are butterflies!  Kate here today to share with you a card filled with love and butterflies.  The butterflies in the sweet grass stamp from the Easter Bunnies collection inspired me to play on the butterflies. 

I stamped the image across the bottom of my kraft cardstock in Emerald Green Archival Ink.  I love the little flowers and butterflies just peeking out from this stamped image.

You know a stamp is great when you can build a card around it. That is exactly what I did with this stamp!

Thank You Little Birdie

Hello, gel-a-tins friends! Today's project highlights the gel-a-tins Build Your Own Paisley Stamp set. The dotted outline paisley makes a pretty paper-pieced bird.  

The wing of the bird was cut-out by outlining the small solid paisley stamp in the Build Your Own Paisley Stamp set. A pendant die cut is used to form the beak.  The decorative window is formed with diecuts as well.   A simple sentiment from gel-a-tins Honey Bear is added to finalize the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Spring Greetings!

Today', I am showing a card using "Easter Bunnies" by Gel-a-tins.

Just b/c it's Easter doesn't mean that you have to make an Easter card.

I simply cut up the phrases found in this set.

Arrange them in a new order on your acrylic block and you have more options!!

Super cute bunny...with rhinestones!

I hope your neighborhood bunnies aren't eating your tulips...

they sure are here!!

friendship card featuring Happiness stamp set.

Hello! I have a card to share using the Happiness stamp set.

I used a flower border and a word border along the top of my card. The ink is onxy black by VersaFine and if you've never tried this ink before, it is amazing! It works especially great for these borders, giving really crisp images.

Here's my card:

 Thanks for checking in today & stop by my blog for more details about my card.

A Smile for your Friday

Hello and happy Friday, gelly fans!  Jessica here with a little card I put together to share with you.  I really wanted to use a doily on this one so that is where I started.
I loved that grey paper and decided to layer some different elements that I found in my scrap room along with my stamped sentiment.  I think that a card like this is great for a lot of different occasions, anything from a birthday to just saying hello. 

The Put a Cap on It set is so much fun to work with and I love that I got to choose one of my favorite colors to add into this combo.  You have to love orange for a happy card!
I hope you're inspired to get crafty this weekend!  Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out our Facebook page for more projects and contests!

You Are Fabulous!

Hey everyone! How are you today? :-)

My love of animal print means I really can't put the Gel-à-Tins Zebra Background stamp down! I keep reaching for it again and again! That's love. :-)

Today I decided to create a card that shows that you don't need to have a full background of this stamp to showcase its fabulousness:

Love!!

I stamped the background at a slant using pink ink, then used a lavender marker to draw some lines to frame the stamping.

Then I decided to break with tradition and use some stickers! I had these great ones in my stash for ages and broke them out to spell out my sentiment! Love how this turned out - very hip!!

Supplies Used:

Gel-à-Tins:
Zebra Background

Bubblegum ink (Hero Arts)
Stamper's Select White cardstock (Papertrey Ink)
