Make A Splash with the Gel Technique - Video Tutorial


Here is the tutorial video!






Today's card was designed using the Make A Splash stamp set from Stampin' Up!  This is a FUN interactive card using the gel technique.  Thanks for stopping by Niki's Crafting Corner.  Happy Stamping my Friends!



Cut 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock 4"x 5-1/4".  Cut another piece of Whisper White Cardstock 3-1/2" x 4".  Stamp a fishbowl from the Make A Splash stamp set onto one of the bigger and the smaller piece of Whisper White. 

Using an X-Acto knife or another cutting tool and a cutting mat, carefully cut out the center of your fishbowl.


Stamp the smaller piece of Whisper White with your fishbowl scene (no fear of going outside of the lines.  The outside will be covered up!) and stamp the other larger piece, that will be the inside of your card.  Cut a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Calypso Coral, fold it in half and adhere to the inside of your base using Liquid Glue or Snail Adhesive.



Take you 3" x 4" bag and squeeze a small amount of hair gel into the bag.  Spread it around in the bag and get most of the air out.  Seal the bag.


Use a piece of Scotch Tape to seal the end of your bag. 

Place Tear & Tape around the fishbowl cut out.  Remove the backing using the Take Your Pick Tool.


Center the baggie over the fishbowl cut-out and press carefully to secure.


Place more Tear & Tape around the stamped image.  Peel off the backing with the Take Your Pick tool.  Adhere the gel over top of the stamped image to make sure it gets lined up properly.


Place Stampin' Dimensionals around the outside of your cardstock.  The center will be held up by the gel bag.


If you make this project please share it with me!  I would love to see what you create!!
ENJOY! 
Many Blessings, Niki

This card is assembled in the same process, the difference is that I added one drop of Coastal Cabana re-inker to the gel.

May 2020 Color Challenge

Each month my leader challenges her team to make a card using very specific rules and colors. I have participated in these color challenges for over a year now and it has helped me grow in my designing and is so much fun!  Here’s the specifics: Use only the 3 colors given, Whisper White or  Very Vanilla cardstock and black Momento ink. May ’s Challenge included the colors Gorgeous Grape , Melon Mambo , and Coastal Cabana .  Here’s what I came up with. I choose to use a fun triple fold card design and created my own patterned paper using the Floral Essence Bundle .  To create this card I cut a sheet of Gorgeous Grape cardstock 5-1/2" x 11", then scored it at 1-1/2", 4", & 6-3/4".  Cut remaining Grape piece 1" x 9-1/2", for the belly band.  Save a scrap for behind the sentiment as well.   Choose any coordinating colored DSP or stamp your own and cut it at 5-1/4" x 8-1/2".  Cut this down to (3) 1-1/4" x 5-1/4", (1) 2-1/4&qu
