Gina K Design January Release Inspiration Hop, Day Two!!





Howdy!  Welcome  back to our Inspiration Hops for this month! 








The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina, along with the Cast and Crew, will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.

First up today is Theresa Momber's newest set, Northwooods 2.  Oh this set is soooo awesome!  It has two of my favorite trees in it.  The gorgeous and Huge Redwoods and the Weeping Willow.  This is what I have for today:

I envision myself as painter on some sets, LOL!  I TRY though....And A true friend, will stand true just like those awesome redwood trees!  I have been fortunate enough to have a few true friends in my life!  :D 

  Up next is the brand new Stamp TV kit, Birthday Essentials...and guess what??  new this month...MATCHING DIES!!  omg is that not exciting!??  Here is my card for today with this set...

I went with a monochromatic look on this card,  I showed this one at the STV Release Party too.  The flowers in the background are stampsd with versamark ink and, edges are sponged with white ink, and the flower in lower left front is colored with a distress marker, picket fence.  I love this in the kraft cardstock myself...which is about my all time favorite cardstock, lol!

    Like how you put in mountains in the Northwoods card. Great job. In the Kit card, it's wonderfully multi-layered. Out of excitement, I had to go back to see if there was a die for the larger leafy stalk. Can't tell you how dismayed I was, but I have trusty scissors.
