First an announcement! I am now part of Passionate Paper Creations & Friends DT over on Facebook! For this project I stepped out of my comfort zone! And created a cute page in my planner! Also the images that I used for my planner were digital! But you can actually find them as clear stamps at C.C. Designs as New Halloween Inchies Clear Stamp Set! Also in the PPCF group there is a special discount code for C.C. Designs!
First I looked at all the stamps
I then separated some of the images from the digital stamp set.
Next I took that image and resized it
After that I took the image and copied it and flipped it
I then printed the images onto cardstock
Next I treated the images the same way you do with stamped images and colored them
Finally I fussy cut the images and attached them to my planner page

Then place the water/scale patterned paper a little on top of the mermaid tail. Enough to cover the section of the stamped image to hide the bottom of the mermaid tail body
Die cut a sentiment out of black cardstock
Place glue on the back of the sentiment and attach to the water/scale patterned paper

These cards are from a few of the gel prints I created! I'm hoping to have a video to share with y'all later. The prints y'all are seeing were created from using a heart shaped plate from the Gel Press Petites line. These prints were pulled by way of book paper and printer paper. On 3 of these cards, I used dies to create the heart shapes. I also used dies to help create the sentiments. Two of which have fun foam backing on them. And I used a brayer on all my prints. Although I did use a variety of paints, stencils and other materials to create prints.
This card starts out by cutting some cardstock and watercolor paper into a slimline card.
For me that means we cut the watercolor paper to 3 5/8 x 8 1/2
You do the same for the cardstock with the exception that you set the remaining 7 3/8 x 8 1/2 aside
Now take the 7 3/8 x 8 1/2 cardstock and fold it in half on your scoreboard.
Next, pull out the stamp set.
Create masks for the 3 succulents that you want to use.
Then fussy cut the masks out.
Now take those masks and use them to help you figure out where you want to place the stamps on your card front.
Take your We R Precision Press Advanced and 3 of the stamping plates for it
Use the plates for your stamps.
Bring out your powder tool to clear away areas that might have moisture on them
Stamp apply embossing powder.
Heat up the embossing powder.
Place mask over stamped image.
Repeat until all 3 stamps have been used.
Then flip the card front over and repeat the stamping and embossing steps.
Die cut a sentiment
Place on card front
Glue the card front to the base.
When that is done place The Robin's Nest Dew Drops onto your card.

It's Mary Ellen Driggs here from Creative Time with ME! I've got a fantastic card to share with y'all! It's a slimline gatefold card with a pop up when it's open! Below you will find the recipe on how I created this awesome card! And below that is the video tutorial if you are more of a visual learner
Start by stamping the tools from the Nailed It stamp set by Maymay Made It.
Next color the tools with colored pencils.
Once done with coloring, bring out the Baby Oil and Pencil Coloring Tool. Use the tool to soak up the baby oil then use it as a pencil and color over the tools. Set aside until needed.
Move onto the card base. Which is the Kraft cardstock cut at 7 3/8 x 8 1/2. Score the cardstock at 2 1/8 and 7 1/2.
When that part is done. You can now bring out the Salvaged Patina ink and Patina stamp set and stamp all over using the Fiskars Stamp Block Set.
After stamping spray a little water to activate the Oxide ink. Then dry it off with some kitchen towel.
Now move onto the White cardstock which is cut at 3 5/8x 6 7/8. And score it at 1/2 and inch on both sides. Then move the cardstock to the 2 inch mark on the Scoreboard. And score at the 3 1/2 and 4 inch marks. Repeat the is step on the opposite side.
When you are done with that part. Bring out the Crackling Campfire and Weathered Wood inks. Swink them onto the white cardstock.
Next bring out the Sharpie and T-square. And draw horizontal straight lines.
Then do vertical lines staggering where those lines are. This will help create the illusion of wood paneling.
Now bring back those colored tools and fussy cut them.
After that you will bring the Sharpie out so you can color around the edge of the tools.
When that is done. You will bring out the wood paneling piece and using the Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue attach the tools onto the cardstock piece.
Once the tools are all on the wood paneling piece bring out the Elizabeth Craft Double Sided Adhesive Tape. Place the tape on the ends of the piece which is the 1/2 inch mark on both sides.
Then remove the backing from the adhesive tape and place the panel onto the card base.
Now take the black cardstock and stamp a sentiment using the MISTI and VersaMark Watermark.
Next bring out some white embossing powder and your heat gun and emboss the sentiment.
When that is done bring out the Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper and use it on all 4 sides of the cardstock.
After that bring out the Brutus Monroe Pigment Ink Alabaster White and a finger dauber. And create a chalkboard looking image
Then attach the cardstock to the front of the gatefold card. But only apply adhesive to one side of the gate piece.
Now use the MISTI stamp Happy Father's Day inside the card using the Best Dad stamp set by Maymay Made It.
Now stamp the front of the card using nail stamps from the Nailed It stamp set by Maymay Made It.
To complete the card stamp with Salvaged Patina ink and Patina stamp set on the front of the card.

Well Mother's Day is fast approaching! So your girl Mary Ellenfrom Creative Time With ME is here to help y'all out! I have a wonderful way to decorate a picture frame using The Robin's Nest Dew Drops!
After placing the paint in my palette. I used a foam brush to apply it to the frame.
When the paint was dry I brought out The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and some Bearly Art Craft Glue.
I then proceeded to glue down one of the small green Dew Drops and 7 red tear drop shaped Dew Drops.
This process continued until all the flowers were on the frame.
Then I brought the green Dew Drops back in and using the small circular and tear drop shaped Dew Drops. I created the look of leaves and stems for the flowers.
Next in the top and bottom center of the frame I brought out the red heart Dew Drops and gold large circular Dew Drops.
And I proceeded to glue them onto the middle top and bottom portions of the frame.
Once that was all done and dry. I was able to place a picture inside for my mom.
Now it is ready to be a Mother's Day present.
On the Robin's Nest blog you will find a video tutorial of the process.

I have had a fantastic time being on the Dies R Us Design Team! Did you know that right now they're hosting a Design Team call! Check it out HERE!
I started out by cutting the pattern paper and cereal box to the size of the die! Then I used Scrapbook Adhesives 12 by 12 Adhesive Sheets on both sides of the cereal box (chipboard)! Following that I placed the pattern paper on the chipboard! After that I used my die cutting machine to cut out the pieces to create the basket! Next I brought out the Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue and began to use it on the die cut pieces to create the card!
