Gina K Designs Mini Inspiration Hop!

Hey Y'all!  The Gina K Design team thought we would do a little inspiration hop for you while we are in between release!  It's using our newest stamps.  And today, Beth is going to be giving you a chance to win her awesome 'Lots Of Washi'  stamp set!  Just leave a comment on the blog posts...the more comments you enter, the better your chance to win!  Today, I only have one card at the moment.  As I am typing this, its 2:30 AM....I had 3 cards total done and Shady Cat was a BAD bad kitty and knocked my coffee all of the table...I was able to salvage this one though...

I used Melanie Muenchinger's newest set, Triple Play Frame.  This is a super easy CAS creation, and I am tickled to have salvaged it..but sad about my cards with Theresa's and Beth's sets!  Might get them worked up to show you later though.  Tomorrow will be another Mini Hop too!  Here are the links to my fellow DT   and their awesome creations:

I call this 'Faux Melted Crayon' technique, lol!  I used rubbing alcohol and Sharpies to help create the rainbow background.  The damask images are stamped along the bottom to give it a bit of sassy style, lol!  Oh the possibilities with this set...the mind gets to going and then cant get it down on paper quick enough, lol!

For today, we have Theresa Momber's newest set, Elegant Florals 2.  As usual, Theresa's illustration of flora is so realistic!   Here is what I have for today:

I couldnt resist my beloved kraft paper any longer, lol!  For the first card, mainly, I did some fussy cutting on the leaf plant and added it to give the card more oh....pop I guess you could say!  :D And for the 2nd card, I used a vellum overlay, punched a circle out with just a punch to lay over where I had stamped the images.  Both of these cards were super easy and quick to make!  Although, I think I THOUGHT on them for a few hours, haha!

For today, we are showcasing Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called : Triple Play Frame. I totally LOVE these frame stamp sets of Melanie's!  There are endless possibilities! Here is mine for today:

I punched a circle for the middle circle a tad smaller than that outer ring, which I colored with white gel pen.  I also colored the black rectangle around the circle panel with a black marker, then added some dimension with the punched circle and the panel also is raised up a bit.  Super easy card to make!  And I love how the black and kraft look with just that touch of mint green color!  :D  That is all from me for today!  Just follow these links below for some AWEsome eye candy from my fellow DT...they continue to inspire me too!

Wha...?? February??

I cannot believe it's February already!  Wow!  Time sure flying this year already....

I miss hard back books...LOL!  I thought I'd throw that out there.  But I do, I miss holding a BOOK in my hands, flipping the pages, FEELING the pages...now, dont get me wrong, I think the Kindle, and Nook and all are awesome ideas and come in handy.  I see all of the good points about them..(save a tree and all that too!)  BUT...I think im going to go out and buy me a hardback book!  :D...

I did a quick birthday card:

This uses the new StampTV kit Birthday Essentials .  Not sure if I like it with the big polka dotted bow now that I look at it..LOL!  Might have to take that off!! Super easy thought.  I embossed a metal sheet, also embossed gold for the presents and the 'Let's Party' round piece.  Colored with Spectrum Noirs in a whimsical way, as I call it that is!

Well, that's all for right now!  Hope you have a wonderfully creative week!
