Hi everyone, I have just read that it's only 18 weeks until Christmas! That's too early for me to start preparing, but I do have some female birthdays coming up so it's just as well that our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Make It Feminine' which has got me on track to at least make some cards.
The Design Team have lots of Feminine inspiration for you too!
I spent an afternoon making geli prints which got me back into my craft room. I do find using the Geliplate very relaxing.
I ended up with quite a selection of prints
I chose one for my background and stamped a Lindsay Mason girl, I then stamped another onto white card and cut it out - minus the pony tail and the shoe laces. When it was stuck on over the first stamped image you can't tell.
I added words from the same stamp set - they were too long to fit so I stamped them and cut them out. Here's my tip for adding words, don't try to get them straight! I arranged them at slightly different angles - I just know I wouldn't get them straight, so this way - no need to fret!!!
I added some clear gold stems around the background. I used a WRMK Chomp scallop cutter for all of the corners of my layers.
I hope to see how you 'Make It Feminine' at TIOT over the next two weeks. The rules are here if you need a reminder.
Thanks for looking, Chris

Love this Chris, I had forgotten all about Lindsay’s stamps, they are such fun, I have some tucked away somewhere
Oh my goodness, it's not that long until Christmas is it, but I'm going to enjoy autumn first 😊. Loving your dancing girl and the sentiment is perfect. Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Very cute! :)
Hi Chris,
Wow, 18 weeks until Christmas really is a wake-up call! I totally get how you're focusing on the upcoming birthdays instead. Your "Make It Feminine" theme is perfect for that. I love the idea of using geli prints to create unique backgrounds; it sounds so relaxing!
Your card design with the Lindsay Mason girl is adorable, and the tip about arranging the words at angles is brilliant—such a great way to avoid the stress of getting everything perfect. The scalloped corners add a nice touch too.
I can't wait to see more from the Design Team and everyone's interpretations of the theme. Thanks for sharing your process!
Just posted a new blog update! I'd love for you to check it out and share your thoughts. Your feedback means a lot! https://www.melodyjacob.com
Oh I love your little dancer Chris. She looks like she loves to dance. And I'm with you about Gelli printing. It looks like you had fun. hugs-Erika
A fantastic card Chris, I love the happy feminine girl image you used, she made me smile. Your geli prints looks super.
I have also enjoyed catching up and seeing the photos you added.

I love your little dancing girl and the colours of the gelli print work so well with her. I'm with you on the gelli printing being relaxing, only problem is I end up with lots of backgrounds and not enough time to use them!
Pleased the boot is off and I enjoyed looking at your photos in the previous post.
