Wedding Card Using Vagabond Chips, Gel Press, and Rainbow Drops - Fun Stampers Journey Products

This is one of the Gel Press Backgrounds I created the other day.  I love all the details that the acrylic paint I used added to this creation.   The row of framed jeweled art work was showcased on my blog on Tuesday.

Gel Press Blog Post
This is the background I used for the card above.  It is a flipped image.

Jewel Look Art Work Blog Post

 I wanted to bring out the gold (done with Pan Pastels on the Gel Press) so decided to use Gold Silk on the Vagabond Chips frame I made, plus used our Fun Stampers Journey BrushGold Card Stock for the die cut flowers.   The Rainbow Drops add color and interest to the card.   I created this for a wedding, and placed a handwritten sentiment inside of the card.

Gone Surfing Stamp Set Will Be Leaving Soon Due to Retirement - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Wouldn't it be wonderful to retire and be able to be at the beach.   Well, that's exactly what this stamp set will be doing.  It is on the Retirement List for May 1, and it's perfect for a day at the beach or someone's vacation or even a trip to Hawaii.   Don't miss out.   Goes on sale May 1 (while supplies last)

Gone Surfing Stamp Set SS-0327

Set of 8 stamps

To create the look of the dunes/sand, I hand tore the Oatmeal Cookie Card Stock, then added touches of Journey Glaze.  The background is printed paper (retired), but the sky background could easily be created with PanPastels, Liquid Colors, or the Gel Press.   I felt the Nature Buttons were the perfect accessory for this card.  They are textured like shells and the other side is like alabaster shell with its iridescence.   The buttons were glued on with a few drops of our Journey Craft Glue.

I used this stamp set on another card for my blog a while back.   If you would like to see that card, click here to view.

Pocket Pup Was The Perfect Addition For This Get Well Card - Fun Stampers Journey Products

The other night I wanted to make a Get Well card for a young man.   His favorite color is red so I used the color as my starting point.

Card base is Candy Apple card stock.   Then I layered on a red/white/blue print I made on my Gel Press.  The cute little puppy was stamped on Whip Cream Card Stock and then colored in using Journey Color Burst Pencils.  

I couldn't help but smile when I added the Wiggle Eyes to the puppy's face.  I think they really added to the look of the card, don't you agree!

Mixed Media Project Tutorial - WOW - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Here are 3 versions of the same tree.   The 2nd and 3rd were created using the Gel Press and our Fun Stampers Journey Acrylic Paints.   The first one is the stamped image using Fresh Forest Ink Pad. 

Inspiration hit the other night and I couldn't wait to see if my idea would work.   I had done a technique using mirrored words on the Gel Press the other day, and began to wonder if I did something similar with a stamped image if it would work.

Sparkle Trim Stamp Set SS-0495 Set of 7 stamps

I stamped my image on Whip Cream Card Stock CS-0040 using Fresh Forest Stamp Pad IP-0013.

After stamping the image, I placed it "underneath" the Gel Press JM-0107.  Because the Gel Press is clear, the image shows through extremely well.

I used Green Olive Acrylic Paint JM-0021 to create my tree on top of the Gel Press.  I was careful not to get it too thick.   Also did not completely fill in the tree, just tried to cover the same green areas seen in the stamped image underneath the Gel Press.    After painting the tree, I allowed it to dry (maybe 5 minutes - it was dry to the touch).

Then I started adding different colors of acrylic paint and using the brayer to add them in.  Any color will work, just stayed away from using the Green Olive as that would blend into my tree.    When my colors were in place, I then put a piece ow Whip Cream Card Stock over the Gel Press.  Pressing firmly over the card stock.   I let it dry for a while (maybe 5 to 8 minutes) and this was the result when I did the pull:

As you can tell not all of the tree pulled up.  I hadn't waited long enough for the paint to dry.  I still like the print, but know if I had waited just a bit longer more of the tree would be in the pull.

There was still quite a bit of paint left on my Gel Press.   So I decided to let that dry on the Gel Press (no card stock at this point).  Once dry, I covered the complete area with White Acrylic Paint and immediately covered that with Whip Cream Card Stock.   I pressed firmly a number of times so that the card stock and the paint all came into contact with each other.   I walked away from my project and let it dry for 15 minutes.   This time I wanted to be sure most of the paint would come up with this pull.   This is called "let it ride" technique.    When I went back, I gently pulled my card stock off of the gel press.    This is the result:

Do you see how the rest of the tree came off with this pull, and textures from earlier are showing too!   It is so amazing what you can create.   I now have 2 beautiful card fronts to use and inspiration to make many more.

Yes, this took quite a bit of my time, and they are card fronts (or pieces of art) that I won't mass produce at any time.   But it was so worth my time and effort.  It allowed me to go outside of my comfort zone, and try.   With crafting ... with using the Gel Press ... with using Mixed Media, there is NO right or wrong in the outcome of your designs.  If something doesn't look the way you want it to, add to it.   Don't be afraid.   I could of stopped after my first pull.  I'm so glad I did the 2nd pull.

Mirror Text Cards I Made Using The Gel Press - Fun Stampers Journey Products

Yesterday was really busy for us.   My husband had oral surgery, so I didn't have as much time as usual to create then work on my blog.   I was able to create 3 cards that I wanted to share with you today.   All products used are from Fun Stampers Journey.   

I printed out text in Word Software and then flipped it.   The text was put under the Gel Press so that I could paint the letters, allow to completely dry then layered all different colors of acrylic paint.  A layer of card stock was added to the top and allowed to dry, then the print was pulled.   Here's the result:

I decided that I wanted to make this into three cards.   At first I was concerned it might be a bit dark, but as I worked with the print it came to life.

Background for the Miss You card was done with cling wrap on the Gel Press.

Thank you card background is created by stamping the dandelion image on the Gel Press with our Fun Stampers Black Licorice Ink and then pulling the print.   The card stock was swiped with Candy Apple Pan Pastel to give it some color.  

Did you noticed the 3 loop bow!!!!   Creating purely by accident as I was making a 2 loop bow.   Super excited when I realize it had 3 loops!!!.   Background  was multiple colors of acrylic paint spread on the Gel Press and then a print pulled.

Sorry for the shorter post today, but felt you would understand.   I wanted to share all 3 cards with you, so focused on this rather than listing all the steps or products used.
