Gilli goes Green

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to the newest Gilli challenge.  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Gilli inspiration project for today.  In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we would like you to use something Green on your project!  Pretty simple right?  Oh there are so many different ways you can incorporate green into your project.

My project features Jeans Gilli getting ready for spring!  While there is still a lot of snow on the ground here in Michigan, I am dreaming of springtime.  So I thought this would be the perfect project to bring a little spring time cheer.
Hop on over to my Blog if you are interested in more details about this lovely project.  But don’t forget to enter your GREEN project below for a chance to win a GREAT GILLI GOODIE!!  I can’t wait to see what you create!

Ribbons and Bows Challenge

This week the challenge is set as Ribbon and Bows. How easy is that??!!! I add bows to all my cards usually anyway, so this was a super easy challenge for me. You still have a few days to enter, so I hope you will pull out those Gilli stamps and start creating with us!!

I have used some Prima Annalee papers and paired them up with Jeans Gilli. I think she is my favorite Gilli stamp. I just love how cool she looks, like she is just hanging out, ready for any occasion. I hope that you will break out those Gilli stamps and join us for our ribbon and bows challenge at House of Gilli. I cant wait to see what you create!

Ribbons and Pearls - Challenge #4

Hi Gang, This is Becca here. It is my turn to host our challenge this week, and I have chosen the theme of Ribbon and Pearls. Two of my fave embellishments are Ribbon and Pearls!!!!

I have chosen Jeans Gilli for this weeks card. I just LOVE her, she is one of my faves.

I used my new K&Company Julienne paperpad for this card. I love the soft, vintage feel of these papers, so pretty. The designs are just gorgeous. I loved these papers, as the soft blues are perfect for Jeans Gilli.

I used white Grossgrain ribbon for my ribbon, and added tons of prima pearl swirls, as well as large adhesive pearls to the corners.

I colored Gilli with copics

Skin - E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair - E25, E31, 50

Shirt - G99, YG91, blender

Pants - B95, B91

Shoes - E41, E40, E42

I used my Flower Border stamp to stamp around the edges with Faded Jeans Distress ink, then sponged the edges.

If you would like more details on my card, you can join me on my blog here.

I hope you will hop on over to Stamping Scrapping and pick up some Gilli stamps, and come over and join us for this week's challenge - Ribbons and Pearls. If you use a Gilli stamp, you get two chances to win!!! The prize this week is a Gilli Grab bag filled lots of Gilli surprises!!!!!! Cant wait to see what you all create, lets get crafty!

Jeans Gilli is on the Move!

Hi Everyone!  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns here to share some more Gilli inspiration with you on this lovely Sunday!  So have you been having fun with this first challenge?   Are you exploring the possibilities with this amazing recipe that Suzanne Dean created for us?  3 patterned papers, at least 2 die cuts or punches and some form of sparkle.   

 

I wanted to use Jeans Gilli for my project today but….  I also wanted to do something a little different.  So instead of creating a card for you today I created a way for Jeans Gilli to travel everywhere with me.  Would you like to see?

For my “patterned paper” I decided to use different mediums.  To start my project off, I used a multi colored yarn to knit a cell phone bag (pattern #1).  Next I created a Flower Pin, to do this I created my own patterned fabric using the new Anglaise Lace Stamps and dye based ink for the flower petals (pattern #2).  The leaves were created by stamping more images from the Anglaise Lace Stamps onto some of the flowers from the SSD Color Me White Flower Cup that I had dyed green using Glimmer Mist (pattern #3).  To finish off the pin I couldn’t resist adding a SSD Micro Rose into the center.

The flower petals are all Classic Scalloped Circles (die cut #1) that are folded and glued together.  My Gilli image is cut out using Spellbinders Labels 8 (die cut #2).  Finally my sparkle comes from the beads on the cell phone charm that I made to match the bag.

 Jeans Gilli was colored to match the bag using my Copic Sketch Markers.  To make Gilli small enough to fit the cell phone charm I put her on some white Shrinky Dink material and then baked her in my oven.  She is so cute all shrunk down and and rocking her beads!  Because I didn’t want the finished product to be too dark and possibly not dry I colored her very lightly and made her quite pale.  She really does stand out in person – I wish you could see her!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my Gilli Cell Phone Bag!  What will you create with our recipe?  I would love to see your project!  Make sure to enter your creation HERE for your chance to win our amazing prizes!
