Positive Minds Love Crafting!

Here I am with the Gel Press again.  Well I told you I love it!

I brayered Cool Pool Paint on the Gel Press, added the Starburst Lines stencil and pulled 3 prints from it, this one being the last.  I put it aside knowing I would add another print to it.  A week or so later, I placed it over the third print of a Chevron stencil with a gradient look made of Sweet Berry and Cool Pool paints. 

I still wasn’t sure I liked this, but when I saw the Positive Life ATS, I knew I had to be positive and try it.  Using Cosmic Grape cardstock really made it pop!  I think it worked…how about you?

It needed some sparkle, so what do you do?  Of course you add some Sparkle Silk and Sparkle Dots!

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

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.

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

Alpaca My Bags ~ No Prob-Llama Card 1

Here's the first of my No Prob-Llama cards.  I just llove our llama!

I've used our FSJ Gel Press to create the cardstock for the llama.

I placed small amounts of Buttercream, Pineapple Smoothie, and Oatmeal Cookie Acrylic Paint on the Gel Press.  Using our Brayer, I pounced the paints across the Gel Press and then smoothed them to cover all of the 8 1/2" x 11" Gel Press.  I then placed a piece Buttercream Cardstock on top of the Gel Press, smoothed the cardstock into the paint, and pulled it off.  Then I placed another piece of Buttercream Cardstock on top of the Gel Press, and did the same creating the second, or ghost print


When dry, I stamped the Alpaca and die-cut it.  (Be careful with the llama or any stamp the has a larger open area.  Even if you stamp the ink to the stamp, as I always recommend, you can still get ink in the wrong area.  You can either make sure you wipe those spots each time or cut that part of the rubber out of the stamp as I do.)
