Fairy Cards with Gel Press Backgrounds
By  on April 1, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m up on the Hedgehog Hollow blog again sharing some Fairy Cards with Gel Press Backgrounds. I share the details over there, but I do have a video showing all the details!





This is a fun layering process to these cards, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I hope you will take a look! I love adding multiple layers to a card when it makes sense. These techniques all lend themselves well to a fairy card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Since I was already doing a gel press technique, I went ahead and took an extra pull for the second card. I LOVE the soft look!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by the Altenew Educators’ Favorite Altenew Stamp Blog Hop. Today I am sharing some of my favorite stamps (and Morning Glory Dies!) and creating THREE cards.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Altenew has some wonderful stamps and dies to create some stunning cards. Today I want to share an easy way to create the Craft-A-Flower Morning Glory dies and combine them with favorite stamps!





I have a video showing all the details, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













Take a look at some of the ways you can easily put together cards using these dies and stamps. I used the Stone Wall Stencil as a background…I thought those morning glories would be great “Climbing” up the wall. I added some gems in different colors to finish off the look.

Easter Cards: Easy Gel Press Backgrounds
By  on March 18, 2021  in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Have you ever used a gel press? Today I’m going to show you some fast and easy backgrounds for Easter cards using the Gel Press. These are so fun to make (and you can make a lot of them in just one sitting)!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I had such a great time making these, and I think the easiest way to show you how, is with a video! So watch my instructional video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I think you get such a smooth, easy transition of colors with the gel press that you really can’t get any other way! All you need is a Gel Press, a brayer, and some of your favorite Distress Oxide colors.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





If you have never used a gel press before, don’t worry: this is just perfect for a beginner! And if you have used one before, I also share some ways to get a more interesting and detailed result!






		
		
			
			
		
	





But be careful: these techniques can get very addicting! Be sure to watch the video for all the details. Happy Easter!
