I have slowly been working on a website for myself in the hopes of starting to offer new content and classes both free and for purchase. I thought it would be a fun way to share with all of you what I have learned over the years. Especially since getting other people to craft is totally my favorite thing to do LOL! Be sure to check out my new site and if you haven't checked out my other SM sites you should sneak a peek too!
You can find it HERE:
Recently I watched a couple of video's about the Gel Press. Now I have played with it before but I am one of those people that sometimes needs to really play with a new product before I get the hang of it. I must say that I highly recommend playing with the Gel Press for an entire weekend to try it out. I guarantee once you start you won't be able to stop! I LOVE my GEL PRESS!
It is so satisfying to play with it and create one of a kind backgrounds that in turn create clean and simple cards! I am always in need of clean and simple cards. Not only for my own stash, but also for the family members that are always wanting a stash of handmade cards of their own. Here are a few I made using just some blending techniques with Distress Oxide inks and a couple stencils.
I also did a project recently where I made 52 Valentines for a local Senior Center. You would think that's a lot of backgrounds but to be honest I couldn't stop myself...LOL. Once I got creating I just kept experimenting and playing with different stencils and Inks, and the project went by so fast! I used a combination of Distress Inks & Distress Oxide inks. (I like to buy mine HERE)
I intend to make a video on my Gel Press but for now it's just in the works. If you are looking for somewhere to get started I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer McGuire's Gel Plate video series. You will get lots of helpful tips and tons of inspiration!
