Up first today we have Becky Oehler's newest set, Folk Filigree. This set is just sooo fun to work with! The combinations of the little flowers and greenery are endless! Here is what I did for today:

For this card, well, it started out being a one layer card! LOL! At least that is wha tI had in mind...I masked off the area that has the flowers stamped in it, was doing a faux layer, then decided to add a bit more, lol! I always do that...one reason it takes me for ages to make a card! ANYways, this is what I ended up with! Love the little flowers in this set! Ok, next up is Theresa Momber's new set, Signs Of Spring...Here is what I have done with this set for today:

I stamped the crocus flowers onto vellum and heat embossed them in white. I had intentions of coloring them again, like I did for my card at the release party, but then decided they looked good on just white! :D I LOVE how Theresa's sets are so 'true' I call them...very realistic images! LOVE it!

Gina K Designs February 2014 Release Inspiration Hop--Day 1!!

Hey y'all! Welcome to our first day of Inspiration Hops for this month!

Up first today is Melanie Munchinger's new set,Stately Flowers 8. There are some GORGEOUS flowers in this set...and Iris, and an Orange blossom, but for today's cards I used the moths/butterflies! Here is my first card I did:

I wanted something bright and cheerful, so used primary colors for the butterflies on the side. I added some pearl and rhinestone stickers to give it a bit of sparkle! Hoping this brightens a friends day! :D Up next is another card I created using just one of the sentiments in the set, one of my favorite Biblical Quotes actually! Here it is:

For this, just simply stamped the sentiments and cut out with a fancy die, sponge the edges on it to give it a worn look. And the rhinestone swirls...a quick tip...you dont have to keep them in the pattern they come...just do some careful clipping to do as I have done on this, for the placements of the rhinestones. :D

Up next is a new set by Bethy Silaika called, Lots of Washi. And I did a short photo tutorial of how to make your OWN washi tape, but somehow the pictures have gotten lost...somewhere! I will have to do that again and then post it later in the week for y'all! But this is what I have done today with it:

This is a one layer card! It will be very easy to mail and I think it makes a wonderfully cheerful card too! (all the snow gloom, trying to chase that away for folks! LOL!) Super simple card but very striking I think!
