Another Gina K Designs Cased Card!

This is another card I copied from Gina K Designs. I did change this one a bit. Once you change a few things you just keep going and almost make it your own.
The poppies are from one of their Stately Flowers set. The sentiment is from Stampin Up.
The background plaid papaer is from stampin up and the printed paper is using stampin ups Dictionary background stamp. I have some fabric washi tape under the ribbon and added a bow, some rhinestones and glitter.
This image is colored with copic  markers.
Happy Stamping!

Gina K Designs Day 2

Here is another Gina K Design card. I found this on her website also. I love this set and it was a free one that came with my last order. I used the acrylic block again. I loved the stamp she used in her sample and it is actually coming with an order I just placed. but I didnt want to wait.
I used Gina K cardstock that was in my same kit as the other card. I used SU Coastal Cabana ink. I stamped the image and sentiment in black and used a martha stewart border punch.
I sent this card to a friend that is going thru some hard times right now to try to help bring a smile to her face.

Gina K Designs!

I have been watching U-tube videos like crazy lately. I added the app to my mini ipad and can watch them all over the house and even when we sit outside on the deck. Very addicting!!!
This is one that I saw on her do. You do the background color by inking an acrylic block and stamping it on the paper. I realized as I inked it that I was inking the wrong side. You are supposed to ink the smooth side,(her whole block was smooth so thats why I didnt think about it). After I inked it I thought oh well, its already inked so might as well go with it. Then when I inked it and saw the tile look to it I really liked it better anyway. As I watched her video I realized I had the exact stamp set she used, So already having the stamp she used was an added bonus.
I had had a clear box of Gina K Designs products on my desk for literally months and never used them. She has a program called Stamp TV and she uses the products and you buy the kit. This one came with two large stamp sets, lots of ribbon, about 24 sheets of different colored cardstock, a 6 x 6 paper pack and some brads. You dont even have to buy the kit every month like some of the other stamp companies. So I made two cards yesterday from her videos with what I had on my desk. All I had to add was ink and the rhinestones. I could have used the black brads instead of them and really would have been set.

Fun With Nesties!

So, I had this idea about threading the ribbon thru one of the pendant nestibilities. I really like the way it turned out but boy was it a pain in the wazoo! I wove it thru leaving a tail on each end and then tied the bow. The vase with flowers is from a GinaK Designs set. I colored it with copic markers outlining it in yellow to make it pop out some. Then I used mounting tape to attach it to the blue nesties piece. I also used mounting tape on the white pendant piece to make it stand up some. The punch along the bottom is a Martha Stewart Punch. I love this one. I think it can be elegant or just used for a lacy touch. The ds paper is some I got from a local stamp store here and I paired it with bashful blue and close to cocoa stampin up papers. It was a last minute card for stamp club and I was in a real hurry but I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Happy Stamping!

Quick Thank You!

I wanted to make a quick thankyou card for the christmas card order I got from my hubby's work. Quick and simple. So I came up with this card. I had received a store bought card at work and liked the style. I had to add a layer to my card tho because if I just stamped my image and on the white card base and colored it my copic markers would have gone thru to the inside. My flower image is from Gina K Designs. If I used her white cardstock I wouldnt have had to worry about it. Her videos say her cardstock is thicker and copic markers dont bleed thru. But everyone that uses copic markers say they are supposed to. Even at the copic marker class Marianne Walker said that. I think the Copic marker company even makes papers as thin as copy paper that Marianne recommended.
Anyway, the sentiment and little doodah under it is from Verve. It is my new set called Thankful accents.

Froggy Birthday Card!

Yesterday was my hubby's birthday so I made him this card. We have frogs in our backyard like 5 feet from the bedroom window that keep us awake most of the spring. You cant believe how unbelieveably loud they are. People say I love to listen to frogs. I used to too but when they are 5 feet from your window and in mating season from the March until the end of May and you dont get sleep you really end up not liking them. Anyway, now I have been buying frog stamps and papers. Go figure. So I saw this at a stamp store and couldnt resist the paper. Its from K&Co and is called Actopus To Zelephant Frogs. The color seems off alittle. The cardstock is a bazzill green and is much brighter in person. My sentiment is a Gina K set.
I think my hubby liked it but who knows???

Put Your Big Girl Panties On!

This was just a fun quick card I did. I wanted to keep it simple. Kati asked why would I want to keep it simple? Put more stuff on it, but I decided not to. I've had this set for about a year. It is from Gina K Designs.
I used the kaleidescope ds paper from su. Also tempting turquoise cs. My nesties. I put two sayings on the front cuz I love them together. They both came with the set. Then I added some ribbon and I rhinestone. Easy Peasy.
