You may want to grab a cup of coffee - because I have been stamping up a STORM!
 
Here are the samples I made with the sets:


This could be a cute way to share your baby's gender reveal!

 This was a super simple card using the silhouette cut file. I made it for Victoria's teacher who retired at the end of last month!

 I used the smaller image from serenity diva to make a background with versamark ink!

This is a great way to use up some of the scraps in your studio! I used the dots to make the background!

This one uses a custom silhouette cut file!

This card was an experiment! I used a custom silhouette cut file for the leaf. I took a piece of white card stock and colored it with copic markers, blending the shades of green together. I stamped over it with lots of dots in fresh asparagus. 
I think the results were pretty cool!

a closer look

 I stamped the kite and clouds twice and trimmed one set to pop up with foam squares. There are stickles all over the clouds!

There are so many options with polka dots - this one is just some random stamping with the circular dot pattern and some single dots. I used the All Occasion Tags 2 sentiment on the banner!

I hope you enjoyed these samples as much as I enjoyed making them!

Gina K. Blog Hop: The Northwoods & Poster Board Sentiments


 


The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop!


 The sets which we are featuring today are 
The Northwoods
Poster Board Sentiments


Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas!

Here are the samples I made with the sets:

Looking back at all the samples which I created for the month, I now realize I was on a blue and green kick. Next month I will have to spice things up with some other colors! :)
This one allowed me to use a coloring technique from the Master herself (Theresa). I used a nestability to die cut the main image, left it right in the nestie and sponged it! Super easy!
The Northwoods & Lots of dots

I am going to have a great stash of birthday cards in my basket! This one has a masculine feel, don't you think?
The Northwoods & Lots of Dots
 I have never done the chalkboard technique and really wanted to try it! Here it is with the great poster board sentiments set! I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and versamark. Once the sentiment cooled, I sponged the black cardstock with a dauber dipped in white ink! I lightly smudged the white ink all over to give it the "wiped chalkboard" effect.

Poster Board Sentiments & Lots of dots
 This card was so simple and easy to make with some designer paper and some buttons!

Gina K. Blog Hop: A Year Of Flowers 2 & All Occasion Tags 2



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 Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check
the Big News forum at Stamp TV a few days after the hops.



Today we are featuring two of the newly released Gina K Design sets:

A Year of Flowers 2 by Melanie
All Occasion Tags 2 by Tami


This first card I pulled out an old set and used the sentiment from the All Occasion Tags 2 set and did some Rock-n-Roll technique!



year of flowers 2, birds & blossom




 You don't have to use the cut file for the all occasion tags 2 set - it also fits in a spellbinders die - or you could just stamp in right on a small focal image and round the corners! I used lots of dots to create some fun pattern paper strips.

Melanie's flowers and leaves make both nice backgrounds and focal images!

 The variety of mix & match sentiments and tags is a wonderful addition to my collection!

There is something so easy about working with Melanie's floral images! They are really so versatile! I simple stamped and sponged some white on them to make them pop!

I hope you enjoyed my samples! I will be sharing more tomorrow!
