Gina K Designs Design Team Inspiration Blog Hop For February 2014 Day 2



Happy Tuesday!





The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina, along with the Cast and Crew and Guest Designers, 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 StampTV a few days after the hops.


Today we also have 2 beautiful stamp sets to show you.  First up is Theresa's Signs Of Spring.  If you haven't already ordered, you may want to do so RIGHT NOW!

I created another small note card, measures 4" x 4" with a matching envelope (as does my second one).  All of a sudden I love making envelopes.



I double stamped the leaves in Antique Linen and Peeled Paint Distress Inks, creating a shadow effect by not lining them up 100%.  Pure Luxury card stock, Asparagus, Sandy Beach, and White.  Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circle dies, layered.  Butterfly stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers, with a touch of a Sakura Metallic pen.  GKD Ribbon.  Adhesive Rhinestones.  Envelope was made using SEI Designer paper, Dill Blossom, such a lovely accent to the stamped leaves. 

Next up we have Becky's newest set, Folk Filigree.  I have tried counting all of the stamps in this set.....I think there are 43....FORTY THREE.  Can you just imagine the creating possibilities with that many stamps?  I am no math genius so I won't even begin to calculate that answer!

Another note card......you guessed it.....with a matching envelope!  :)


Pure Luxury card stock in, Asparagus, Cherry Red, Sweet Corn, and White.  I made a little background stamped banner.  Inks are in  Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, Garden Green and More Mustard.  I could have stamped for days using these fun little stamps, really the possibilities ARE endless!  Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic Circle dies.  A little Baker's Twine and some Adhesive Rhinestones complete the look.



Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration with these sets:
