Baby Shower Gift

Here is a card/baby announcement that I made for a friend's first baby. It is made using Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities dies. The inspiration for the card came from Christina Griffiths. I will include a link to her YouTube channel. She makes outstanding cards with Spellbinders dies. The die used for this card is grand labels 4. I left the right side of the card blank for a photo. I really enjoyed the process of making this card.

This charm came from Michaels.

Other dies used are Spellbinders ovals and lacy ovals. Embellishments from Michaels. Various papers from unknown sources. Here is the link to Christina's channel. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0zdgFaEvNpy1VpR1XscYPA

Gelli Print Leftover Paint

The Gelli printing plate is so addicting that you spend a lot of time making prints (Now I have to think of cool projects in which to use the prints!). If you are like me, you do NOT want to waste any paint or ink during the process so always have on hand journal books, tags, or some kind of paper, cardboard, etc. to mop up the access paint and ink which in turn will give you even more backgrounds! Here is a photo of some prints I made using the plate then spraying or inking the background. The following photo contains many tags I created using just the leftover paint or ink that is on my Gelli plate or on my non-stick craft mat.

So remember to use every glob and drip! It will only lead to more great backgrounds!

Enjoy!
