Hello crafters! Today I a fun one! I am getting painty, with the Gel Press. I will be making two different backgrounds to use in todays card and doing some paper piecing with the prints I make.
Watch and let me know if you think Gel Press print making is for card makers, is it for you?
This is Episode 5 of January Stamp Set of the month series featuring the Peek A Boo Balloon stamp and die set. Let me set the scene. I picture a Saturday at the park and there's a Hot Air Balloon booth giving rides. The balloon is tethered so you don't have to worry about going to high, it just a taste of hot air ballooning.
Here's the card, see if you can spot all the places I used Gel Press prints.
You can see all the Gel Press print making in this video:
First up, the sky background on this slimline card is a Gel Press print. I used die cut clouds from the Cloud Mat die as masks on my Gel Press.
I also used several different Gel Press Prints to paper piece the ballon in a rainbow of prints.
For the Market Stand, I paper pieced faux woodgrain print, which I also show you how to make in the video.
Both the animals are from the Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set and were colored in with Copic Markers. The hippo and monkey have to my faves!
Once again I did a slimline card, a card that fits in a business sized envelope.
Here are the measurements I use:
Card Base: 9-1/4" x 7-3/4" scored at 3-7/8"
Card Front: 3-3/4" x 9-1/8"
You can find all the items I used to make this listed and linked for you below.
