Undecided

Hello!  Easter IS coming!  I created this hoppy little card using the adorable bunny from the Bold and Blooming Stamp TV kit.  The background was made blending distress inks (scattered straw, mowed lawn). Then, I stamped the bunny and die cut it.  I made the carrot with some paper scraps.

Since I wasn't sure what sentiment to use on this...I left it blank.  I kind of like it blank....but then I know it would look good with a sentiment filling up some of the inactive space on the bottom.   Alas.....I was not up to that big decision:)

I'll probably use this for Easter and add an Easter greeting on a flag on the bottom....  Left plenty of room 😂

Have a wonderful weekend!

Tweet Thanks

Hello! Happy Monday:)  I have no idea where the past week went.  With the warmer temperatures I have been spring cleaning and sprucing up some painting in the house and hanging outside more.  But, I am going to try to get some cards made this week!  Yay--I love April weather and here is a happy little spring card I made using the newest Gina K Designs StampTV kit-  Bold and Blooming:

I love how all the stamps and dies in this kit work so well together!

Special thanks to Gina for asking me to guest design for this kit! It has been a blast! xoxo

Hope you have a GREAT day!

Watercolored Flower

Hello! Hope you are having a wonderful day. I am so excited to be getting some warmer temperatures here FINALLY! Spring is here.

I did another card for the StampTV Flowers and Polkadots challenge--This one uses the new Through Thick and Thin incentive set (so it is free with a $75 purchase in March!):

I watercolored the flower on this card and the sentiment is from an older Gina K Set that I believe is retired:(

Fun to make--reminds me of SPRING! yay!
Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers and Polkadots

Hello! This week's Gina K Stamp TV challenge is to use flowers and polka-dots on a card.  I used the new Bold and Blooming StampTV kit flowers to create this.  The paper is also from the kit.

I used these Gina K inks: Ocean Mist, Innocent Pink and Turquoise Sea.

The sentiment is from an older retired Gina K Set.

Hope you will come play along with the challenge. Details HERE!

Purple Rain

Hello! Today I have a card to share using the Bold and Blooming Stamp TV kit.  I posted this on the Gina K Stamp TV Facebook page and someone asked for the steps on how I made it so I listed that below!

Here is the card, that I lovingly named "Purple Rain." 

Here are the supplies I used for this card: 

Adhesive: tape runner, foam mounting tape

Paper: Bristol Smooth (for the mounted layer); Gina K Designs Pure Luxury white cardstock (base)

Ink: Ranger Distress Ink (Seedless Preserves)

Blending tool

Heat tool

Clear embossing powder

Versamark

Spray bottle: I used Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer

Stickers: Sticker Stitches (SRM Stickers), chipboard mini flower (Colorbok)

Stamps: Bold and Blooming Stamp TV Kit (Gina K Designs)

Corner rounding punch

Instructions:

1.  Emboss one large flower, and a few medium and smaller flowers with clear embossing powder on Bristol Smooth cardstock (as you can see in picture.)  I did one or two flowers at a time so I wouldn't by accident rub off the embossing powder before I set it.

2.  Use your blending tool and rub the distress ink all over cardstock.  Wipe the areas with the flowers with a paper towel.

3.  Spray paper with water using spray bottle and then lay a paper towel over it. Pat and then remove.  (This step removes a little of the ink where the water drops fell giving it the rained on look.)

4.  Cut this panel so that it is smaller than base layer. Since my card is 4.25" by 5.5", I cut this piece 4"  by 4.5" (since I left a large section blank for sentiment at bottom.)

5.  Round top corners and adhere this panel to card base. Line the top edge up with the card leaving a little margin of white at top.  After you adhere your layer you can round the top corners of the card base.

6.  Add a thin scrap of yellow paper across the bottom where the panel edge ends. Make sure you leave ample room for the sentiment.

7.  Stamp sentiment stamp (in Stamp TV kit) using the Seedless Preserves ink on the bottom center of card. 

8.  Add the sticker stitch on the yellow border paper.

9.  Stamp the large flower on scrap paper in Seedless Preserves ink and die cut with die in Stamp TV Kit. Add it to card as shown using foam tape.  Add chipboard flower sticker to center of flower.

That's it! Pretty easy.

Have a wonderful day!

Floral Thank You

Good morning! Getting the weekend started after a fun weekend:) My kids are off today so our weekend is extended a little--which is always a bonus!

Wanted to pop in and share another card I made with the Gina K Designs Bold and Blooming Stamp TV kit.  I just love this kit!  

I stamped the flowers in light ink and then colored them using Copic markers and die cutting them with small rectangle dies.  I sponged the edges with Ranger linen ink. The floral design was embossed in white and then I added the Thank You stamped tag. I finished this card with a bit of The Twinery twine!

Have a wonderful day--Thanks for stopping by!

Here are a few of the projects I have created for today’s hop:

First up, is this cute spring greeting I created using this set and also the flowers from the other set in the kit.   I sponged the background (Ranger- Picked raspberry, mustard seed, peacock feathers) and then sprayed it with water and removed some ink with a paper towel.  I die cut the branch and then stamped and die cut the bird before coloring it with Copics and adding it to the card.  I stamped the flowers and added them to the branch.    I finished this by embossing the clouds and the sentiment in white:

Next, I again sponged the background with some yellow and green and then used a Copic marker to add grass.  I stamped the flowers, colored them with Copics and then die cut them and added them to the card.  I stamped the sheep in light ink, colored it and then die cut it before popping it on the scene.  I added a strip of patterned paper from the kit under the main panel and stamped the sentiment in black ink:

Finally, here is my sample with the incentive set- Through Thick and Thin.  To create this card, I stamped the flower in purple ink (Ranger- seedless preserves) and then used the ink cube to water color the flower.  I did the same with the leaves.  Then I sponged the background with Ranger- mustard seed ink and stamped the sentiments, embossing the word "friend" for emphasis.  I added a strip of the patterned paper to the bottom of this card as well:

Gina K Designs- Stamp TV Kit Inspiration Blog Hop - Day 1

Hello!  I am so excited to be a guest designer for the Stamp TV kit this month.  Today, the  Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new StampTV Kit! We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projects as you hop along to each of the designer’s blogs!

Enjoy the gorgeous inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog for your chance to win a $20 Gina K Designs gift certificate! To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop. Ready for some inspiration? 

Here are a few of the projects I have created for today’s hop:

For my first card, I stamped the beautiful flower images from Bold and Blooming to frame the sentiment.  The flowers and leaves are colored with Copic markers and I stamped the sentiment in Red Hot ink.  After framing the stamped panel with some Black onyx cardstock (which also comes in the kit)...I cut a strip of patterned paper from the kit to layer behind the panel:

Next, I created a super simple design with the images in this set.  I embossed the floral piece and then embossed a chunky flower and die cut it to layer it on top.
I embossed the sentiment below.... An easy 5 minute card:

Finally, I used the chunky flowers to create this bright thank you.  I die cut a circle from pure luxury white cardstock (which comes in the kit!) and then stamped the flowers along the edges.  I stamped three additional flowers, which I die cut and layered on top.  I added the sentiment panel and then added a part of the sentiment from the incentive set Through Thick and Thin that we will be showcasing tomorrow:)
