My first project for Gel-a-tins!

Today is my first project post for Gel-a-tins! Please stop by HERE to check out their blog!

Here is my post:

Hello, everyone! Thank you for stopping by Gel-a-tins today! This is Jessi here and today is my first post as a Gel-a-tina! **Happy dance**

When I first saw the Honey Bear stamp set, the creative wheel started to turn! So many ideas flowing! Which one to pick? Which one to pick? I couldn't pick just one, but here is the creation I will share today:



Had to have the bear pop off the card!



And I loved the bear too much to use him just once, so I added him to the inside of the card with the rest of the sentiment.



As you will probably learn about me, I like to fussy-cut! So when I saw this cute bear, that was the first thing I did. The rest of the card went from there. To showcase the bear, I used die-cuts to create a "window" for the bear. (Using the scraps for the inside of the card, don't want to waste any paper, right!) Once the papers were attached, it was time for the sentiment! And as the finishing touch, the bottom corners were rounded using a corner punch.

Happily Lost - Lily Bee

So I have been spending some time crafting layouts.  I am having so much fun with this "new" hobby.  I made this layout over the past weekend.  I used Lily Bee papers and stamps from the Happily Lost collection.

Supplies:

Pattern paper - Lily Bee Design (Happily Lost)

Stamps - Lily Bee Design (Happily Lost)

Alpha stickers - Lily Bee and American Craft Thickers

Maya Road Chipboard - Bird

Fiskars - Border Punch

Beads

Ink

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Are you crafting? I'm hoping too!

Baby you're the one...

So I have been cranking out projects this week!  I need to send a special Thank You to my wonderful husband, for giving the time I was craving locked up in my craft room!
I LOVE Lily Bee Designs!  The vintage feel of the papers, the colors, what more can you ask for?  I created this following layout using "This & That" papers.

All the papers are from Lily Bee.  Along with the red alpha stickers and the stamp.  I also used AC Thickers and Cosmo Cricket small alphas. To add a little 3D to the page, I made the flower at the top of the page using a Fiskar circle punch and Basic Grey button.

I also use decorative scissors to cut the edge of the photo mat. I simply folded the edge over and inked the scallops, so they would stand out more.

Have a great one!
