CardMaker/Gina K. Designs Spring Parade Blog Hop!

Hey y'all! CardMaker and Gina K Designs Have come together for a fun little hop today! We will be featuring the new StampTV kit, Spring Parade StampTV kit. It all starts at the CardMaker Blog! If you get lost along the way, you can always go back to it and find your place. If you have came from Carolina Buchting's Blog, then you are in the right spot!!

I had a hard time deciding which way I wanted to go with my card for today. I made a cutesy card too, but decided to go with this one instead! :D More my 'style' I think!



I stamped the flowers from the StampTV kit onto kraft paper and then punched out the circle. I used picket fence distress marker on the flowers, which did make them white, but I wanted them to really stand out, so I colored over them again with a white gel pen and this gave me the look I wanted! I have used tons of Graphic 45's Secret Garden line, did ALOT of distressing with distress inks in varying colors. The little tag is inserted into a pocket that is behind the flower. I also had an extra flower I made so I decorated one of the little wine bottles I love to collect to match the card! :D



Ok, on to your next stop! It is the oh so talented

Becky Cowley!!

I can't wait to see what all the others have created too for this hop!!

Good news, bad news!

Hey y'all!! Thought I'd post, been awhile! LOL! And I do have some bad news...more rejected cards! Here is one I did...I think it was for a technique submission and I did an emboss resist:



I stamped the rose image in versamark and used clear embossing powder on it. I think played around with some Perfect Pearl Mists. I can have sooo much fun with these mists! Now I need more! :D

And here is another one. I think I did this for the same thing, and this was the technique DTP (Direct To Paper swiping):



The butterfly was done the same way...stamped with versamark and heat embossed with clear, then I just swiped the ink pads over the stamped image. I love this look this creates too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! OHHHH, yea, almost forgot! The Good news? Well, check out this sale Gina K Designs is having:

Today we are giving you some sneak peeks of our newest StampTV Kit which will be available for purchase this Thursday, 8AM CST at Gina K Designs and a brand new paper pack that you can purchase separately from the kit too..and I can tell ya, I think this kit and papers is one of my favorites to date! This kit has 4 'mini' stamp sets in it. They can be used all together too, because they all basically have the same 'theme'...SPRING! Here is what I have done for today...(and Ive done a TON of cards, but trying not to overload graphically! LOL)



This card uses the set called 'Sweet Friend'. I made a long skinny card and on the inside part that you can see peeping out I also stamped some leaves...love how this looks!



This card also used the 'Sweet Friend' mini set, but just a sentiment. The rose and banners are die cuts that came with this paper kit.

Ok, I'll show one more for today, lol! Told ya I've been loving this set!



This is a CAS design to me. This card came together very quickly for me. I am so loving these colors in this kit and this card really showcases that to me!

Spring is springing!

Hey y'all!! Today really is a gorgeous Spring day here in my neck of the woods! Starting to see the dogwoods bloom, which I love! They are predicting rain for most of this week though, which is typical Texas Springtime! :D Anyways...so sorry I havent posted in such a long time. Had some health issues, stayed a couple days in hospital, but am feeling lots better now. Yay! :D

I made this card using some awesome Graphic 45 designer paper called 'French Country'...I am so loving this line! I got the chipboard pieces and stickers too that match, so its loads of fun adding all that to your card. Here is what I have done:



And here is another picture with the little tag pulled out:




And arent those little mini bottle caps the cutest!!? Those are punch outs and I put them in the mini bottle caps then filled the little cap with glossy accents. The little metal clothes pin is also from Graphic 45...and I took it apart so it would lay flat.

Ok, thats all from me today!! Be sure and check back on Wednesday and Thursday of this week...got some Gina K Design stuff going on you wont want to miss! Can we say (shhhh!) new StampTV kit?? :D
