Over on my YouTube Channel today is a fun card using some hair gel to create an underwater scene and it is sure to delight children.
This is the Hair Gel Pocket Card and I have used the cheapest tube of hair gel that I could find.
I specifically bought the one with bubbles in it as this will help with the effect.
Once you have watched the video you will understand what I mean when I tell you that the gel settles towards the bottom of the pocket once the card is stood up so be sure not to overfill it.
And seal it carefully so that the gel doesn't escape when you have finished.
The stamp and die set that I have used is Make A Splash from Clearly Besotted ... and they are a UK company with wonderful items for you to buy
The card is from AnnaMarie Design and I have used Spellbinders 5x7 Matting Basics to create the card and frame. Make sure that the pocket you use will fit inside the frame work you create.
More tomorrow ...

Hi Christina
ReplyDeleteLove today's card with the fishes, also loved yesterday's card as well. Internet playing up I'm afraid so I'm having problems getting in every day.
Good Morning Christina :) OMG!!! This is one of the coolest cards I have ever seen! I'm positive it will delight children, but it also delighted me! What a concept in card making! This is pure brilliance Christina! Thank you sooooooo much for sharing. Enjoy a fabulously Creative Day! Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW and double wow!!! Christina, what an amazing tutorial, how on earth do you come up with such fantastic ideas! LOVE the card, and the video I have got on my favourites on You Tube. Guess what is going on my shopping list this week?? lol! I know quite a few adults (or so they claim! ;) ) as well as children, who would ADORE this one! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Awesome is an understatement!

Such a sweet card & fab idea. Now regret getting rid of some hair gel as it wasn't being used.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful idea - thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteThe card is so cute :))
Oh, Christina...you said the magic words on the video...'the ink blending must be blotchy'...my blending is ALWAYS blotchy so perhaps I've finally found the right kind of card to make lol.
ReplyDeleteThe dolphins are so cute and have gone right on my wish list...hopefully they won't go out of stock before I place my order next week lol. Thanks for the video, it's shown us all just how easy it is to make this brilliant card :)

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card Christina. The video was great. Will have to try this out for my grandchildren. Thanks so much for sharing it and have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteNeat idea, I may have to see if the grandchildren have any hair gel for this one. Dianne Crowe
ReplyDeleteEvery fun card. Love it. Thank you for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card. I have seen this done before but like how you put yours together better it looks more like the water. Enjoyed your video.I did one but just a fish bowl did not look as nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina........once again two lovely cards. I'm headed over to check out this new gel technique. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I have so many grandchildren i need to try thus. :)
