Gel-a-tins Thanks Card - Put A Cap On It Stamp Set

Happy Saturday everyone! I would’ve probably shared before that I’m a vintage freak and that I can never steer away from having a couple of butterflies or flowers on my layouts or cards..and this card, just proves that I love those three elements..

This month, I was lucky to get the gel-a-tins Put a Cap on it stamp set which is D E L I G H T F U L! the stamp set also has simple sentiments that you can use on it’s own, or within the cap stamp. So here’s my project, using the single simple sentiment from that set.

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
Stamp : Gel-a-tins Put a Cap On It
Patterned Paper : My Mind’s Eye – Stella & Rose

Smile Card - Gel-a-tins and YSS

I got much of my supplies replenished (*lol* not that I ever run / ran out of 'em ) and there were many stores that were offering 40% off scrapbooking supplies! you wont believe it!! I'm certainly gonna make another trip there when they have their next sale!

My cousin, sis and I headed out on Saturday morning at 11am and didn't get back until 1130pm! that's how much we shopped and now i've got aching heels and a terrible headache *lol* but all worth it I tell you! :)

And I so badly wanted to update my backdated blog that I simply had to visit blog land! I havent dropped by ur blogs, but I'm certainly coming by soon..!! till then, here's a card for my YSS stint featuring the gel-a-tins Put a Cap on it stamp set :)

Altered Project - Gel-a-tins

hello! How's ur Monday been? I managed to fight off the Monday blues yesterday by crafting till bout 1am...but the after effect ain't that good..cause I felt super duper sleepy at work! *lol*

Well, It's time for a Gel-a-tins project and since it's been a while since I made an altered project, I thought the Gel-a-tins Put A Cap On It stamp set will be perfect for this lil earthenware sieve I got from our local Daiso...yeap, you ladies read it rite *lol*..I'm about to share with you'll an altered sieve!

I'm the sorta person who'll walk around a store looking for something to alter, and I always come home (happy :)) with things I wonder when I'll use or for what I'll use..and this time, I'm in a very happy mood (yes yes I've got more good news to share *lol*) and I felt like scrapping all day long and indulging in those altered projects I love so much!..until reality hit me (DH had to remind me of course) that I had work to attend to come Monday..

I'm off to put Missy A to bed, and hopefully in that process I don't end up falling asleep with her, cause I've got some images of potential projects playing in my mind! :) *this is probably what happens when you're away from crafting for a while isn't it*

Anyhoo...enough with my rambling and off to the project we go...nitey nite sweets! :)

Materials Used : Earthenware Sieve, Gel-a-tins Put a Cap on it Stamp Set, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Martha Stewart PP, Paper Flowers, Prima Leaves, Staz-On, Prima Blings

Thanks Card - Gel-a-tins

hey there dearies! I'm back with a card for you ;) this time for my Gel-a-tins DT stint and using the Many Thanks Stamp Set..It's a pretty set of Thank You sentiments and I've got a few more projects lined up using the very set.. ;)

I know I've 'neglected' my blog for quite a bit..I dunno what it is that I'm busy with *lol*, but I do find myself to be extremely busy these days! I've drawn up a plan to keep this lil blog of mine busy again (and god willing I should be able to keep up with my new task *LOL*)

I love this hobby, but of late I seem to be feeling tired all the time..I think work plus the want to spend time with Lil Missy A is taking a toll on me.. nowadays, my lil gurl seems a lil withdrawn...I guess she feels I'm neglecting her now that I'm no longer a SAHM :( she actually says 'Mummy go away'..!!

so I'm making all amends by putting her as my top most list of priorities..and I insist on attending to her needs as soon as I'm home..I have a nice domestic helper (I dont like calling her a maid :P cause in all fairness she does help me with the household chores/domestic needs of my family) but I don't let her handle Missy A once I'm home..so most of the time, when I take her to bed, I end up falling asleep with her *LOL*..anyways...I think I'm rambled away quite a bit :) sorry to bore you darlings! :)

Materials Used : American Crafts Cardstock, Gel-a-tins Many Thanks Stamp Set, Basic Grey Patterned Paper, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punches, Ranger Distress Inks, Basic Grey Blings, Pink Paislee Ticket, Ek Success Border Punch

I've got some happy news to share! more on that tomorrow yeah! I don't want you falling asleep while reading my very long post *lol* :)

xoxo

Thanks - gel-a-tins

Hey there dearies! I can't believe it's Monday already! :( so fast the weekend flew by! but I'm thankful it was well spent, I managed to craft a bit and also spend lots of time with my Lil Missy A! With work and all, I've only been able to cater a couple of hours a day with her...boy do I miss the moments I was a SAHM where I could spend hours with her!

I think I must've watched 'Finding Nemo' at least 8 times (though not in full, thank god! ) this weekend and not to mention 'Barney' too. I guarantee you, I had Barney songs playing in my mind at work *lol* and probably had Dory's 'P Sherman, Wallaby Way...' script somewhere in there too! *lol*

Anyways..off to a gel-a-tins card, here's a lil something I made using the 'Many Thanks' stamp set..If I havent mentioned it yet *lol*, they're totally gorgeous, the sentiments are simple and sweet and perfect as they are or even for backgrounds...Gel-a-tins has got lots of other beautiful stamps to choose from as well so be sure to check out the rest of the DT projects featuring other stamp sets yeah.. ;)

Thanks Card - Gel-a-tins

Hey hey hey! :) Remember I shared last weekend that my stamps have arrived? Well I couldn't wait much longer and got started right away! *lol* Here's what I came up with using the gel-a-tins Many Thanks Sentiment Stamps

See the lil round stamp at the corner right of the stamp set? I used that to make the make the background for the card, and slapped a bit of crackle paint all over for a washed out look

Next, I layered in atop a larger piece of cardstock and stitched the edges (gosh! at times like this i sure wish I had a sewing machine *lol* but I think my stitching turned out pretty ok didn't it? *hehe*)

Here's what the outcome is like:

After that, I embellished the card with G45 patterned papers and prima flowers and the Hambly Bird Cage screen print

Lastly, I added the 'Thanks' sentiment from the very same stamp set.

Materials Used : Ivory Cardstock, Gel-a-tins Many Thanks Sentiment Stamp Set, Ranger Distress Inks, Crackle Paint, WRMK Sew Easy, Prima Flowers, Hambly Screen Print, Lace.

Your Eyes Tell On You

I had so much fun creating with my gel-a-tins wild things stamps that I couldn't help but create a project other than a card! It really is a must-have and I'm not saying it just cause I'm on the gel-a-tins DT! lol!! :)

I made a tag featuring my sweet lil model..Missy A! :) and this time I'd like to take you through a teeny weeny tute on how I made this ;)

First, cut a 4x6 ivory cardstock and distress the edges. Stamp a flower image of your choice at random areas

Next, cut out a smaller piece of cardstock, and repeat the same as above. Once done, adhere the smaller piece atop the bigger cardstock and tear a lil at the sides so the image that you stamped on the larger cardstock peeks through.

Adhere a sheet of vintage music notes or patterned paper and place the photo. Stamp the flowers again, only this time, stamp the images onto the photo (making sure not to cover the face lol!!

Finally,embellish to your heart's content and stamp some pom pom flower on to transparency, and layer them on top of the paper flower ;)

Simple eh? ;) Here's what the final product looks like ;)

Materials Used : Ivory Cardstock, Ranger Distress Inks, Chalk Ink in Sandstone, Transparency, Staz On, Kaisercraft flowers, Liquid Pearl, Prima Leaves, Vintage Music Notes Sheet.

And remember the SIL blog hop I told ya sweeties about? the one with the 7 RAKs (one RAK one week btw lol)? It's Week 2 Challenge time!!! and this time you're to hop on over Yatie's blog!! This super talented crafter has a fun challenge all set for you so be sure to drop by her blog and attempt the challenge yeah!! :) Happy Weekend dearies! :)
