Once again, we have two stamp sets to showcase for you today! First up is Beth's newest set called, Lots Of Thanks - which is totally perfect for this time of year! Here is what I did for today's hop:



A very quick and easy card...CAS design. This set is an awesome set for me because of all the cards I give out, Thank You ones are the most that I give! And this set has so many different ways of saying it, love it!

Ok, next up is Debbie's newest little diva, Celebration Diva! Here is what I did with her today:



She is sooo ready to par-tay! in her little sparkly black dress! I know you cant see the sparkle very good on here, but she does IRL! I used Copic Spica Glitter pens on her, so yea, she sparkles! All ready for a New Year's Eve party! :D Another CAS design for this one too. One layer! :D

Gina K Designs Design Team Inspiration Hops for December '13 -- Day 2!!

Hey y'all!! Glad to see ya here! ;)

Today, we have another 2 sets to showcase for you! These sets so rock! :D Up first today is Melanie Munchinger's newest set called, Stamper's Favorites...and they truly are! Here it is:



I did a one layer card...unless you count the bird and flower, lol! I used circle nesties to cut out a mask to use, then placed that on my card and did some creative sponging with distress inks. I wet my fingers and dropped some water onto that area after sponging. I love the effect this gives with the distress inks! For the hummingbird (and he's about accurate in size!)I used distress inks and water colored him and then took versamark ink and inked it all over then poured clear embossing powder over it...I wanted him shiny! He is! :D

Here is the card I showed at the Release Party with the hummingbird too:



For this one, I used mixed medias...gesso, modeling paste, spray inks...everything but the kitchen sink! but I so loved playing with all of our mixed media stuffs we have out there. Its got stenciling and sponging and misting and copics...lol!

And here is the card with Carolyn's set, Elegant Flourishes that I showed at the release party too:



And again on this one, mixed media style one! I used paint, gesso, heat embossing, sponging with distress inks...I do so love how the Flourishes give just the right touch!! So thrilled to have these to add to my GKD stamp sets. Gonna be a well used one I do believe! :D

Ok, ready for more eye candy? Here ya go:


Thanks again for stopping by today! I so look forward to all of your comments...wish I could respond to each and everyone!! Come on back by tomorrow for our third and final day of hops for this release! :D
