Gina K Designs Day 1 Previews!

Yay! I am so excited to be back in the saddle so to speak once again, LOL! I sure missed getting to participate last month, MUCH rather have been here than where I was, haha!

And this release is sooo ROCKing! OMG! Not only the new stamps, but the awesome new Pure Luxury Companions...you are going to LOVE it! This release will have the Holiday assortment and the Autumn Assortment...which both include new colors of cardstock!! WOOHOO!!

Ok, first up tonight is Theresa Momber's newest set called A Very Merry Christmas. Here is one of my cards I created:



Now doesnt this remind you of a warm cozy Christmas? This whole set is typical Theresa, such awesome details in each stamp...so fun to color, or NOT, but I just LOVE this fireplace scene! I decided to do the spotlight technique, which Gina did a video on this technique this week on STV...here is the link to that too: Spotlighting. I just did mine a bit different, I popped up the area I spotlighted, and didnt use sponging, instead I swiped some white paint on the cardstock and then stamped on that for the background part. That gorgeous ribbon is some of the new ribbon in the Holiday assortment and will be available too! See that fancy tag there? That was a wonderful gift from Melanie, she sent me those and those awesome earrings she made that she had on her blog! I LOVE them! Thank you Mel, you are the best! :D

Next up is our newest illustrator Tami Mayberry. And talk about starting out with a bang! OMG, this set and it's add-on are sooo FUN! The sets are called Special Delivery and Special Delivery Add-Ons Here is my card:



I feel like a stamp designer! LOL! I went with a 'hippy' theme on this one, did some sponging with some bright colors in the centers by making a mask and then I used the smiley face from Mel's Little Tees set, fit perfect!! These sets are just a blast to work with, I will have more samples to show at the party Thursday night too! So dont forget to be there this Thursday...I will have the link up Thursday for you all too.
