Gina K Designs November Previews, Day 2!!

Hey Ya'll and welcome back to our second day of previews....and oh what a good one it is...we have two sets again tonight, but one of them is the new StampTV Kit! It's called Winter Wonderland!! Be sure and stop at Gina's blog, she will have all the details of what is in this awesome kit this month! For tonight, this is what I have done with the stamp set:



I decided to do a little bit of rustic wintery look, the winter part in the sentiment, lol! This was a super quick card to make and will be easy mailing! Love that and needed sometimes too! Ok, up next is another set illustrated by Gina called Snow Much Fun and if you love snowman's (and even if you dont actually!) you will HAVE to have this set! here is my creation with this set for tonight:



Did you see?? I used GLITTER!! here is a close up:



Yes, I put my fear of glitter aside and added it to my little snowflake I made with my Slice machine, lol! I think snow/snowflakes/snowmen just scream for glitter and its about the only time you will see me use it, haha! Love how this turned out coloring the little snowman on the kraft cardstock!

Ok, ready for more gorgeous eye candy? Hop on over to my fellow DT, I KNOW they will blow you away with their creations!

Gina K Designs November Previews, Day 1!!!

Hey ya'll! It's that time of month again, arent ya thrilled!??!! I am so very excited, as always, to show you the awesome new sets from Gina K Designs This month! And once again, the Illustrators have rocked it! We have two sets to preview for you tonight...up first I have Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called A Year of Borders...You are going to LOVe it! Here is what I did for tonight:



I decided to pair up the border of sea shells with Mel's set Gifts From the Sea and make this card, I did a bit of what I call shadow stamping with the other set and then just used the seashell border stamp as my main focal image. LOVE it!

Next up we have Nina Brackett's newest set called Winter Mittens and this set will coordinate with Spellbinder's Nested Mittens set! Oh my the possibilities!! Here is what I have for tonight:



I made a little gift set, a card and a tin that holds (held!) some homemade candy! This mitten is suppose to be an oven mitt, and its not Christmasy, but looks that way! LOL! There are so many different combos with this set you can go either way actually.

Combining some STV challenges...

Howdy all! I decided to play along in this week's challenges on StampTV ... the color challenge (red, black, and chartreuse) and the sketch challenge, both fun ones! Here is what I ended up with:




I dont really care that much for my card though, lol! I have discovered I have NO black ribbon..nada...none! And the red and green colors in ribbon that I have clashed too much for me...sooooo, used the black and white checked and I think that is what is bugging me, lol! It just 'fit'...Anyways....The little birdy is one I just quickly hand drew then cut out...at least you CAN tell its a bird..right? LOL!

Well, off to do more cleaning in my stamp room...that always inspires me!:D Poor hubby ...I jinxed him, told him he needed to get more OT with the holidays coming up...last night he worked until 4:30am...and then they were waking him up at 6:30am with another bad water leak...so he says its my fault...LOL!

Gina K Design Illustrators/Design Team Blog Hop for October!

Hey ya'll!! Welcome to our challenge and hop for this month! For this month, we were to use a favorite background technique that Gina has done a video on...and chose this one:




This is such a fun one! This is my creation with using this technique:



I added a bit of distressing too on mine. The red ribbon you see is some I hand dyed....After seeing Nina's gorgeous ribbon she did, I wanted to try doing some. (I dyed 3 different colors, but this is the only one that survived the stray kitty burglar that stole them off my back deck as they were drying, lol!!) Well, I did not use the same kind of bias tape she used apparently, lol! I love how hers is more 'gauzy' looking than mine, but this had a distressed look to it, on the folded part, so decided to use it on this creation...I also stiffened the twine a bit and made it all wrinkly/curly....I kinda like how it turned out, sorta growing on me, haha! If you want to know how I dyed mine, or curled the twine, you can email me and I will get all the details to you! Ok, ready for more fun inspiration?
