Loving My Gel Press!

Hi Everyone!

I like how this Gel Press Print pops on the Black Licorice Cardstock.  I mixed Citrus Cooler. Limeade Splash, and Lemon Drop paint on the Gel Press.  I then placed the Starburst Lines Stencil over the top. 

--------

Here I used Citrus Cooler and Lemon Drop paint and pulled a print using the Vintage Screen stencil.  I later had some Green Olive ink left on the Gel Press after a print and used the Stained Glass Stencil to add something to break up the background.

-------- 

For my final card I mixed Bubble Gum and Sweet Berry paints, using the Artful Wall stencil.

Only Fun Stampers Journey products were used in the cards.  You can find all these supplies and others on my website: funstampersjourney.com/karens

Hi All!

I'm back with some more Make a Wish cards using the Gel Press.  These cards were made using the Linked Lines stencil.

I really like the look you get when creating Gel Press prints on Black Licorice cardstock; you need to try it!

 

I used Sweet Berry, Whip Cream, and Cool Pool paints pouncing at first and then mixing the paints with the brayer.  

 


The same thing was done, but with Sweet Berry and Blue Lagoon paints on this card.

I Love, Love, Love My FSJ Gel Press!!!

Hi All!

I love, love, love my FSJ Gel Press!!!  I feel like a little kid with the freedom to create whatever I want.  

Creating with our FSJ Gel Press is so much fun!  You not only create one print, but can lift at least one other print, with what you have left on the Gel Press and/or the stencil.  Two or three for the same price...I always love a bargain!  

If I don't care for the print at first, I can add another layer or put it away to peruse at a later date.  I've taken out creations I wasn't happy with at first and found them perfect to use with a different stamp or as a small decorative piece on a card.

During the next few days I'll be showing cards using the same ATS stamp, "Make a Wish" in similar layouts using different types of Gel Press prints.

 

For this card I used two of my favorite FSJ acrylic paint colors, Blue Lagoon and Sweet Berry, with the Starburst Lines stencil on Whip Cream Cardstock.  I kept the paints pretty much separate, only blending them a bit in the middle.

This card was printed on Black Licorice Cardstock using Lemon Drop and Limeade Splash acrylic paints.  The paints were pounced until mixed.  The stencil is Bloom Wall.

Congrats Cat ATC

 

Hi All!

Here is my Congrats Cat ATC!  She looks a lot like my cat Kevi.  Kevi is a tiger mix rescue and has white chest and belly.  She's 13 years old and still as lively as a kitten.  

Well, back to the ATC.  The cat stamp is from Lost Coast Designs-Party Cat Hat Set.  I colored the cat with Copics on X-Press paper and fussy cut it.  I put Glossy Accents on the hat and covered that with Tim Holtz Distress Stickles-Dry Glitter-Clear Rock Candy.  I wasn't able to get a very good picture of the glitter, but it is so cool!  I printed "Congrats"  using the font-Fontdinerdotcom-Loungy.   It's free, as are all the fonts I use!  Silver pearls and a strip of Washi tape were added as accents.

I am adding this ATC in the following challenges:

Wicked Wednesday ATC - 100th Challenge Celebration Ends 9/10

Gingerloft Challenges-Anything But a Card  Ends 9/21

Eclectic Ellapu Challenge-Family Pets  Ends 9/14

Simon Says Stamp-Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics  Ends 9/11

Lawnscaping Challenge - Some of Your Favorite Things.  Ends 9/12 Copics, cats, purple

Appreciation Card for Stickles Linky Party

Sentiment ^ inside the card

Welcome to the Stickles Linky Party-Appreciation!

Hi All!
My card uses an image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, one of our generous August Sponsors.  I loved the free one I received for August and had to go to their site and buy some!  The digital stamp is JJ Block-Bras Are Like Friends.  The image was printed on X-Press paper and colored with Copic Markers!  I embellished the card with Stickles in the following colors: Glam Pink, Firefly, Black Diamond and Crystal.

I paper shaped the hair that I fussy cut and enlarged the chest area of the teddy.  Glossy Accents were used to highlight the lens of the glasses.

I diecut two of the smallest dies of the Spellbinder Nestabilities-Poppy.  The individual one is no longer being sold.  It is being sold in a four pack Nesties Flower B.  I searched for my individual poppy die online and found one for a reasonable price! Yea!  I covered the flowers with Firefly and Glam Pink by spreading the Stickles with my finger.

I also used polka dotted washi tape. The cardstock is from my stash.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Fab and Funky Challenge #182-You Can Stick It!-Washi Tape
Outlawz Challenge-Alcohol Ink -Copic Markers
Clearly i Stamp Challenge #6- Thank You 
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Dotty

Welcome to the 1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

Back to school is just around the corner, and what better way to start off the school year then with a bit of sparkle?! Today the design team is showcasing all sorts of glittery back to school projects that kiddos and teachers will love!

If you've come from Laura's blog, you're in the right place! If you have just come across the hop and would like to start from the beginning, please visit All that Stickles.

For my project, I made a a daily journal (out of a composition book) that a elementary student might enjoy.

Hi All! 
 I hope you enjoy my Back to School Journal.  I covered the binding of the composition book with black/white polka dot washi tape.  Then I attached pink cardstock with Scor-Tape for a stronger hold than a tape runner.  I distressed the edges of the paper a bit.  The Back to School Girl from the Octopode Factory was colored with Copic Markers on X-press paper.  I added Glam Pink and True Blue Stickles on the girl and Black Diamond Stickles on the edges of the circles.  All paper is from Club Scrap.  The pencil is a royalty free clip art image I colored with Copics. The back of the book is covered with the same pink cardstock.  Coordinating printed paper was used on the inside of the cover.

We have blog candy for those who are a follower of All that Stickles and leave a comment on every stop of the hop! Winners will be announced Wednesday August 21st at All that Stickles.
