Gina K Designs May Release Inspiration Hop, Day 1!!

Hey Ya'll!! Welcome to day one of our May Release Inspiration Hops! Glad you came by!

The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop!!! Gina and the Design Team 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 deeply etched, pre-cut Gina K. Designs stamps! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!!

Up first today is Melanie Muenchinger's newest set, her next additon of State Flowers, this one is called "Stately Flowers 4". Oh so much FUN! Here is my card using this set that I gave a sneak peek here on my blog of:

I went for an elegant look and whats more elegant that black, white and red, right? I colored the flower (in red, because Melanie LOVES red!) after stamping it two times, fussy cut one of them to pop up and give it more dimension! I love coloring these flowers...but you will probably see along the way some that arent colored and they look fantastic too!

Ok, next up is Tami Mayberry's newest set called: Ticket Trio...OH the possibilities with this one! Here is my card I did, a masculine card:

Getting my brother's birthday cards done early! The biggest ticket in this set will fit the Tim Holtz Ticket Strip die, which is what I used. They will also coordinate with Spellbinders ticket dies too, I just didnt have them.

Ready for more eye candy?
