Gelli Arts + D2BA Collaboration

Hello Artzy Friends!

I am so excited about this blog post today!!

Dare 2B Artzy and Gelli Arts have joined together for a fun collaboration!!

I have honestly never used Gelli Arts!  It's been on my to do list for awhile now!  But just haven't done it, so I am so thankful for this team-up!!  And the push to finally try it out!

LOVE it!!

I had so much fun creating my card for today's post!!

Here is a close-up:

So fun!!

Here is a look at my process:

I used the 5x7" Gelli Printing Plate!  I started by adding some acrylic Teal colored paint and then pressed the Wacky Boxes Stencil gently onto the plate to remove some of the paint.  I then grabbed my card base and placed the 'good side' down onto the plate and rubbed the back side gently. 

Fun!!

Next I grabbed some purple paint!!

This time I decided to remove some of the paint by stamps.  I grabbed the fun Totally Tracy Textures stamp set!  I love the circle design!

Again I placed my card base on the plate and rubbed gently...

LOVE IT!!  I could have just stopped here....but I was having too much fun and decided to add one more layer.

This time I added some yellow!!  Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo here!  I was too into the project!! LOL!  But you can see it in the photo below...

So with the the Spring/Floral theme in mind, which I LOVE flowers, I decided to add one last layer.  But this time I didn't use the Gelli Plate.  I just used the fun Wild Flower Stencil to add some metallic white texture paste to the card base!!

I set the card base to the side to dry!

Back to the theme, I wanted to add a large flower to my card front!  So I grabbed the Totally Tracy Be Bold stamp set!  Instead of coloring the image in, I wanted to use a Gelli Arts plate to create a fun designed flower to go with my card background.

So I grabbed the 3" round mini plate from the Mini Kit!  I added a magenta paint to the plate and use the fun punchinella stencil, which is also included in the Mini Kit to rome some of the paint!!

I added then add some light pink metallic texture paste to the plate and used the 3 sided texture tool, also from the Mini Kit, to remove some of the paste.  (You can't see this design completely, unless looking really close, but I wanted to do this step to just mute the magenta paint a little) And to also add some shimmer to the flower!! 

I then stamped the flower image on this pattern and fussy cut around the image!! Before adding it to my card base, I first stamped the 'be BOLD' sentiment from the Totally Tracy Totally Tracy Be Bold stamp set!

I then added the flower to my card base!

Here is my finished card:

So pretty!!

The possibilities are absolutely endless!  

I can't wait to use my gelli plates again!!

Hello Friend

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun CAS card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!


I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles (10231) to create my white cardstock layer, for the black I trimmed it slightly bigger than the white and used a corner rounder.

I used a fun stencil to create the dots with Distress Oxide Inks!  I then die cut the Brush Scripted Hello (10195), adhered to my card and stamped the 'friend' sentiment.

A quick and fun card!!

Butterfly Birthday

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Just Cards

My Aunt's Birthday is coming up next week, so I decided to use today's theme to create a card for her:

I am so in love with the Amazing Things stamp and die set!  The butterfly dies are so beautiful!!  They will be used by me a  lot!!  (Just a warning!!)  Before adding the die cut butterfly I used a fun stencil and paste to add the texture to my card layer.  I love the design behind the butterfly!!

I added the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from the new Hello Gorgeous stamp set which I stamped on a die cut from the Strip Sentiment Dies set!  Two more products from MCT I absolutely LOVE!!  I then added the little embellishments to finish off the card!

Don't let anyone...

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have another card to share with you today using dies from Frantic Stamper's new Grads and Industrial release!!

I used the super fun Antique Light Bulbs (10628)!

I die cut the light bulb from the white cardstock layer and discarded the light bulb die cut.  I adhered a piece of vellum to the back side.  I then die cut the light bulb from a piece of black cardstock and adhered to the top of the vellum.  I love the look!  Looks like a real light bulb!

I created a shaker card!!  I just added some gold sequins pieces to the inside.

The sentiment is computer generated!

I die cut the new Electrical Circuit (10633) twice from black cardstock to adhere to my white card base!!  It gives a fun look!!

I finished off the card by adding some yellow enamel dots!!

Be sure to check out all of Frantic Stamper's fun dies!!

Easter Bunny

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

Today I have a sweet Easter card to share to wish you all a 
HAPPY EASTER!!

I used the awesome Stitched Diamond Panel #1 and Stitched Diamond Panel #2 to layer together over a pretty pastel plaid pattern paper.

I die cut large bunny from the Sack Bunnies die set!  I used the Cuddly Bunny die set for the whiskers!  I thought they would be the perfect addition!!  Isn't the bunny cute?!?!

For my 'Easter' sentiment, I used the Layered Easter Blessings die set.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter with Family and Friends!!

Fight Is On

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

We all unfortunately hate the 'C' word that hurts so many people!  We all know or hear of someone fighting the courageous battle.  

The new Fight is On stamp set is perfect to let those know who are fighting, they aren't alone!

I used the tiny ribbon in the set to create my own background.  I stamped the ribbon in a few different shades of pink!  I also added some rhinestones, just to add some fun bling!

I stamped the 'FRIENDS don't let FRIENDS fight cancer alone.' sentiment from the set and added to my card on an angle!  

I really like the simplicity of the card!

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Have a beautiful day!

You hold the key to my heart

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

Have you had a chance to check out FS's new die release?  
It's called Grads and Industrial!

Here is the first card I created using some of the new dies:

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! 

The sentiment was computer generated.  

I used the new Rusty Hinges (10629), Key and Keyplate (10630), Chain Borders (10631) and Steampunk Frame (10632) dies!!

I've never really made a mixed media/grunge type card.  I admit a little out of my comfort zone, but I really like how it turned out!!

Be sure to check out all of Frantic Stamper's fun dies!!

Have a lovely day!
