Snowman Card with Gelli Print Background

Hello Blog fans!

Today I have a cute Christmas card to show you.

I was cleaning out some things one day recently,

and found a few pieces that I had stamped and colored, 

but never used.  This cute snowman was one of them.

I fussy cut him and adhered him to a 

gelli print background that I had recently made.

I think he looks quite cute.

He'll be sent out to someone this Christmas season.

Thanks for popping in today.

Have you made your Christmas cards yet?

I hope you'll stop again soon,

until then:

finish up something you set aside.

 

Another Gelli Plate Card

Welcome to Kristie Kreates

Today I have another Gelli Plate print card to show you.

I started with this print that I pulled from my

Gelli Plate.  I had been playing with some paints and 

alcohol ink on the plate and got this lovely subtle 

print that has some nice texture.

I simply cut it down and adhered it to a rust colored card base.

I will wait until I need a card to add a sentiment or a focal point to this card.

Or I may just use it as is.  I love it and hope whoever receives it will too.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what I've been up to.

Come again soon,

until then,

have a fun play with some paint or ink.

 

Gelli Plate Card

Hello blog friends, I hope all is going well with you.

Today I have a card to show you that I made from one

of my Gelli prints.

I used a variety of paints and ink on my Gelli Plate

and pulled this print.

I love the color combination and the abstract look of it.

I cut it to a size that worked for the print then layered it 

onto a piece of purple mulberry paper, then onto

a white card base.  This card works for any occasion at

all. 

I do love my Gelli Plates and the pieces I get from using them.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you enjoyed your visit and will 

come again soon.

Until then,

think outside the box!

If your interested in how a Gelli Plate can be used

here is a great video from Jennifer McGuire.

Her techniques are a little different than what

I usually do, but I think I need to try some of

them too. Check it out and see if it's something

you'll love doing.

 

Birthday Gelli Print Card

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

Today I have a card to show you that I made from a

Gelli print that I made a while ago.

I used alcohol inks of several colors on my 

Gelli Plate and picked up this image.

I loved it, but didn't know what I would do with it.

My friend, Mary, told me she thought it looked like

balloons, I could see that.

So I made it into a birthday card and I love how 

it turned out.  Very abstract looking, I love the colors.

I had some scraps left so I cut one down and put a little

strip inside the card for a little extra something.

The recipient loved it.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Come again soon.

Until then,

see something special in what you make.

Tuscan Cards

Hello crafty people!

Today I'd like to show you a couple cards I made with

some of the gelli prints that I recently made.

This is the original gelli print.

and here is the card I made.

I love this "Tuscan" stamp that I had in my stash,

and colored it to match with the background 

piece, matted it with the same background 

gelli print, then onto white card stock to set it off.

Here you can see that I used foam tape to adhere the image

and give the card a bit of dimension.

This is the second piece I used.

I cut the gelli print background down to the size I needed,

and used the same "Tuscan" stamp to make another card.

 

I love how both these cards turned out.

They remind me of our trip to Italy many 

years ago.

I love making these kind of backgrounds,

then keeping them in my stash for later use.

You never know what they might work well for.

I'm glad you came to spend time with me today,

and I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then

check out what you have and see what you can 

create with it.

More Cards from my Stash

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm showing you a couple more cards I made

using pieces from my stash.

These 2 are made with Dylusions Sprays.

I sprayed them onto ink jet photo paper.

I love the color combinations and how bright

they turned out.

I'm not altogether sure about this piece.

I believe it was done with paints and my gelli plate,

but I'm not really sure.  Whatever I did, I love how it

looks.

Both simple cards, but I think they pack a nice punch.

Thanks for stopping in to see what I've been up to

lately, come again soon.

Until then;

Happy Crafting!
