We are going to get straight to it this week!

Our suggested colors are ...

Evergreen ... Olive ...

We are super excited to have a new sponsor with us


Our gel-à-tins® are clear stamps that are soft and sticky like a gelly candy that come stored in handy metal tin. You'll find a wide assortment of letter and image stamps as well as our build-your-own layering stamps where you can create your own unique designs.
Totally Yummy!
gel-à-tins® is also one of the original creators of the super popular scented embossing powders! Reminiscent of those great scratch-and-sniff stickers; scented embossing powders adds that extra special and uniqueness to any crafting project! Add some fun today to your heated embossing projects with a wide variety of scents to compliment your crafting project!
Take a look around our site where you can find layouts featuring gel-à-tins® as well as stamping tips and techniques 
And if you're a gelly artist, be sure to email us your layout featuring the stamps for possible use in our online gallery 
or to be featured here on Facebook.



Check out what this week's winner will receive .....


All of our designers had lots of fun playing with
'gelly jr's' this week so . . . . .
