Good Morning
Today's card was such a fun one to create and I was very pleased with the result that were easy to achieve.
I made this card for my son Adam, using an old pair of my husband's jeans....YES, you read that right....not designer paper but made using jeans.
He loved the card!
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by getting out my Gel Plate, brayer, the old pair of jeans and some cardstock.
- I pressed my Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink pad directly onto my Gel Plate and used my brayer to smooth and spread it out.
- Next, I took the pocket portion of the jeans and pressed that onto my Gel Plate.
- I removed the jeans, set aside and pressed my cardstock, rubbing over the plate to transfer the print. I was very pleased with the results, the texture it picked up was amazing!
- I cut it down to a 4 3/4" square and set aside.
- I had a piece leftover that I had after I cut the panel down and used that to stamp the sentiment onto.
- I cut a small slit in the pocket, then slid the sentiment strip into the pocket. I popped the banner strip up at the edge using some foam tape.
- Finally, I glued it onto a 5" square card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

What an unique technique Karen, absolutely fabulous, love it, Kate x
Wow this is amazing! I first thought that this was a stamp or a printed image -- the texture is so detailed.
What amazing results you got with the jeans, Karen. I can see trying this in the near future.
I can't believe what a clear print you got using your gelli plate and the colour is absolutely wonderful, and the leftover piece makes the perfect sentiment banner Karen..an amazing card! x
BRILLIANT IDEA Karen love the outcome result... thanks for sharing in my group too.x
Clever, clever girl!!!!! I'll have to give it a go!
Merry Christmas
Your print is fantastic! I can see why you were pleased with the results. And I can see why your son liked it so much.
I have an old pair of jeans sitting around as well. I just may have to try this. Awesome card!
What creative thinking Karen, an amazing card. This makes me think maybe I DO need a Gel Plate? I can exactly why your son loved this remarkable card.

This is so cool! I’m going to have to try it, especially since masculine cards are usually a challenge for me to make. Thanks for sharing the process!
