 Melanie's set includes wonderful sentiments along with beautiful floral images. This pink on pink design with a hit of white and bling! You know this is going to be Lee Murphy's favorite!

It is so hard to see the shimmer of the flowers on this clean and simple card. I used a watercolor brush with shimmery gold ink on the edges of the flowers. It sparkles so beautifully!

The shimmery ivory base of this card is not captured in the photograph (I have such a hard time photographing the white/ivory cards).  This is a simple design with the passionate pink sentiment cut out with the flower die. I thought it looked like a ball of yarn. I used beige thread and dyed it hot pink with a spectrum noir marker!

I used a distressed lines embossing folder on the base of this card. It reminded me of the fringy look of yarn.  Perfect for a card about knitting! The set had this basket of yard balls, so I added the sentiment and the knitting needles sticking out of the basket.  The thread is dyed blue to match the yarn on the card. I simply ran a spectrum noir marker over the thread and it dyed instantly! Only took a few moments to dry too!

This Diva was pretty easy to color.  I tried my hand at knitting last year during swim meets.  My knitting is still in my office - unfinished.  I guess I should bring it to the next 3 day swim meet and finish the blanket I started! HA HA!

When I designed this set - I wanted something that would make for quick and easy cards. Something that you can reach for time & again to create unique, yet beautiful cards. 

Here is my first card. The sentiment looks like money to me! Ha! That is why I stamped it in pine green!

 

A scrap of designer paper and a dressed up ribbon pair so nice with this sentiment. The possibilities are endless, don't you think? Kids may actually want to make their own cards! No fuss!

The small elements can combine for some simple cards! The fleur de lis is my daughter's favorite!  Pair it with Merci for a card that is très chic!

Sometimes you just need a card with no sentiment. The elements in this set allow your to combine pretty things to create classy cards!

Spice up your holiday gifts with a little Celebration Diva! This wine topper was simple to make and the Diva makes it perfect for that holiday party or New Years Eve celebration gift!

This clean and simple card is just the right thing to give for an anniversary!  Let's Celebrate sentiment paired with the adorable bottle with the heart...that will remind that special someone during the hustle and bustle of the season that you have to make some *couple* time!  Date night here we come!

I love the excitement and promise that the new year brings! Maybe a friend had a rough 2013 and needs a special note to know that you will be there for them in the coming year! The streamers and sentiment are from Celebration Diva and the 2014 is from Lots of Dots Alphabet!

Who doesn't think this would be a great card for someone who is constantly on Facebook?!?! It uses Becky's woodgrain background along with the "like-thumbs up" and letters from Lots of Dots.

I used the & from Becky's set, along with the letters from Lots of Dots in the wedding colors -- to create this simple wedding card!

Now on to the Diva's!

Using this set makes me want to go back to Hawaii and eat mango!

 

This "tag" card was super easy to make using the smaller images from the set! Wouldn't this be cute to give to someone heading to Hawaii for vacation...or someone moving away! 

I used the sentiment and iron along with the frame from Lots of dots to create this CAS card!

 

I found humor placing the wrinkled ribbon under the sentiment "Thanks for helping me iron it out!"

 

I don't run. If you see me running 

call the police (or animal control, because there is probably an alligator on the back of a shark on the back of a bear...which is chasing me) and start running yourself!

 

 

 

So many of my friends run -- and I think this would be a great thing to give to them the day before the big race (along with a basket of treats to devour after the 5K or marathon).  The frame from Lots of Dots alphabet makes a cute tag!

 First up is Melanie's set (Stately Flowers 7).  It is such an elegant set and easy to work with!  I love the sentiments!

 With this card, I was able to frame the main image in flowers! I used light color copics to really make the flowers pop!

I showed this wedding card the other day, which features Tami's Simple numbers and Debbie's diva set from the last release (Mr & Mrs. Diva)

Todd & I passed a milestone last month, celebrating our 20th anniversary.  I made this simple anniversary card using Tami's Simple Numbers, along with the Lots Of Dots background...

I shared this the other day, but it is here for an encore! I love being 29 *again*!

Gina K. Designs July Release Party Roundup!

In case you were unable to attend the release party last night at StampTV, I am posting the cards which were shown by Gina (I was at a swim meet with the kids until 9:45 pm).  Here are the cards, in no particular order:

this card uses Becky's wood grain background and my new polka dot alphabet lower

Debbie's Marathon Diva set! So fun...this woman clearly has a bear chasing her!

The biggest joke in my house is that I actually have no idea how old I am because I have been 29 for so long.  This uses Tami & Theresa's newest sets!

I used some of Gina's designer paper along with Melanie's newest Stately Flowers 7 set

Close up of the sentiment

 

Wedding card I made for Debbie's brother & his new wife using Tami's new set, along with Mr&Mrs Diva sentiment and rings (from last May's release)
