Gina K Designs March Release Inspiration Hop, Day 4!!

Hey ya'll!! Welcome to our 4th and final day for this release's Inspiration Hops!

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 StampTV a couple of days after the hops!!

We have two stamp sets once again to showcase today for you. Up first is the newest 'One Free With Three' set called Great Sayings...Here is my sample, actually two, with this set:





Both of these cards use the same stamp from the set, and same supplies...one just a bit more on it I guess than the other. This was also for the CAS challenge over on SCS this week that I was a guest designer for, white with shades of blue...I believe these fit the bill...just that 2nd one kinda pushes the CAS design to the limit, LOL!

And next up is the 3 year Anniversary Duo Stamp set, (OMG!! I can't believe its been THREE years with StampTV!!) that you can get free with a 35.00 purchase, through the end of this month! It is called Believe In Yourself...



I spruced up this little box set of cards I got at HL on clearance! I LOVE how this turned out and it will make a cute little gift for this young girl I know! Here is another picture of it with the box lid open and the matching envelope:



All I did was stamp the butterfly onto some pink cardstock and used some glitter pens and white gel pen on it! What took the longest was all of the die cutting for all of the little cards, 20 total! LOL! My shoulder reminded me that it didnt like that activity too much, (I have a partially torn rotator cuff that I need to have surgery on...bleh....LOL! Putting THAT off as long as I can!)

today we are showcasing the new StampTV Kit called Petals and Wings...I am so loving this kit, and the gorgeous DP that comes with it! Here is what I have done for today:



I stamped onto my beloved kraft cardstock in white chalk ink and also heat embossed with white embossing powder to make it a more vibrant white. Gave the edges a bit of distressing because I had had too much of the bright cards, haha! I think this card has a 'countrified' feel to it! :D

Hey ya'll!! Welcome to our 2nd day of March Release's Inspiration Hop! So glad you stopped back by and I sure love reading all of your comments! :D We have two sets we are showcasing today for you. Up first is Theresa Momber'snewest set called Wild About You...Ive been having lots of fun with this set!




I decided to show my elephant card I made with this set for today. I went with a bit of a CAS style card, did some embossing on the card base to add dimension to it and then just colored the elephant, cut him out and stuck it on the base! Looks like he is charging off the page, lol! Here is another card that I showed at the release party:



This set just screamed 'Do a Sunset!' to me! LOL! I did this by sponging various inks around a punched out circle. Love how this turned out!

Next is Rupa's newest set called Blooming With Blessings...this is SUCH an adorable set! Here is my card for today:



I chose to use the little duck and the sentiment that fits him perfectly! I colored with copic markers and added some sparkle, which you cant really see, with some copic spica glitter pens. This is a bright and cheery birthday card that will surely make someones day! :D

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

Hey ya'll!! So tickled you stopped in again for a bit of inspiration, I hope! :D

Up first today we have Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called Wild Flowers..This set coordinates with her previous set entitled 'Wild About You'...but, you don't have to have the other set, this works just as well on it's own! Here is what I did for today with it:



I wanted to do a fun, bright Springtime card...and I always struggle with bright colors for some reason, lol! I stamped the flowers on a piece of sticky back canvas then but it out with oval nesties...I love how stamping on canvas looks, makes it look like you painted to me! That little strip of dp is from the new Petals and Wings StampTV kit, it has papers with the same name that come with the kit...LOVEing it!

Up Next we have Tami Mayberry's newest set called, Masculine Tags....Just in time for those Father's day cards, or brothers out there! This set also coordinates with Spellbinders' Labels 22!! Here are mine for today:



This first one is the full card of the peek I showed yesterday. I wanted to make it look like the start was 'bursting' out and I did this by taking a piece of cardstock, folding it to make it springy, then attached one end to the star and one to the card...I think it turned out pretty neat! :D And here is a super quick and CAS card I did for my brother's birthday coming up in July (wow! Im ahead for once, lol!)



Single layer, easy to mail even with the doodads I put on it! And this card shows that you do not have to have the Labels 22 die that matches...just so a fussy cut on it and it will still look good! Now, to keep up with it for about 5 months, haha!
