I have several cards to show you today, I so love these StampTV kits! I just go a little crazy using them! :D Up first is a card that a gave a little tease on FB of. Here is the full card:
I used some acrylic paints on this, and some crackle medium to get the aged wood look. (the Gina K Design kraft cardstock is a REALLY good cardstock to use with acrylic paints...super sturdy!) Then I scored it with the scor-pal. The little tag is done by doing metal hand stamping (hammer, steel block and letters). Another love of mine is making jewelry and I love to be able to use those WITH my Gina K stamps!
Next up is a fun little seahorse!
He was colored using the rock-n-roll technique using Gina K Design inks in Blue Raspberry and Grass Green. I also stamped and embossed him using versamark ink and clear embossing powder onto the kraft cardstock for my bg paper. LOVE how this turned out! :D
Next up, super easy and quick one:
See?! Super easy one! and pretty quick. I did the stitching by hand so that is the only thing that took a bit of time. That used the new Sew Easy tool that I found at HL.
Another fun one:
I went a little crazy with the dp! It is sooo awesome! So I used alot of the blue tones to create my 'ocean', LOL! The little fishing pole and hook (dont worry, its craft wire and will not poke you!) were made using a tooth pick, craft thread and craft wire. Isnt it cute!?!
Ok, still with me? haha! Next up is me combining my love of making jewelry and GKD stamps and papers:
I stamped onto that gorgeous new dp from Gina K, Watercolor Garden, and then laid a piece of vellum over the top of it. I stamped the little butterflies onto the glass with stayz on ink. It's so hard to get a good picture of this, but I do hope you can tell pretty much how it turned out. I've worn it already, lol!

That simple touch of metal puts your cards over the top.
ReplyDeleteLove the grained look of the first card! And great bright kiddies cards too!

The framed orange slice with the stitching is fab and CAS! Love the Fishing You The Best card with all of its under the sea fun. Finally, your necklace is wonderful -- love the vellum over that gorgeous paper. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
