Gina K Illustrator Hop and Release Party Invite!

Hello and Good Morning! Today the Gina K Designs Illustrating team is inviting you to our Release Party, which will be held tonight from 7-9 p.m. Central time on StampTV! Hope to see you there!

Today, we are hopping and each illustrator is giving you another view of her new set.  So....here are a few more peeks at my new set- Stamp It Big, which will be available tonight after the release party at Gina K Designs!  There will also be a coordinating Stamp It Big Silhouette file available for purchase that I think you are gonna love:)
For my samples today---I created two cards using the coordinating Stamp It Big Silhouette file and two cards without it! This set also works so well with all of your other stamp sets and I will be showing you lots more samples pairing it with the new Gina K stamps next week on the blog hops!

First up: Here is a card I created for the StampTV Mix It Up Monday Challenge using Stamp It Big.  I stamped the sentiment in two colors--black and grey and then added a half flower stamped along the right side of the main panel- Sometimes all you need is a BIG sentiment :)

Here is a whimsical card using Stamp it Big stamp set along with the coordinating Stamp It Big Silhouette file (which includes the heart and the speech bubble plus tons of other fun elements!)  I used Memento tuxedo black ink and Lady Bug ink on this card.  To create the distressed look on the "Smile" sentiment, I inked up the stamp and then pressed the un-inked checkerboard pattern cube over it to remove a few areas of ink-

Next:  I used the Stamp It Big stamp set to create a cute birthday card,  I repeatedly stamped the birthday greeting along the top and bottom of the card and then used the coordinating Stamp It Big Studio file to cut out the large word "Wishes" before stamping the word sentiment inside with  Love Letter ink and adding it to the card.  I cut out the star from the Silhouette file and then stamped the star from the set inside before adding some rhinestones.  I added the little scalloped borders from the Silhouette file along the top and under the sentiment panel-

And, finally, I have another graphic card to show you using Stamp It Big.  I created the main panel by stamping the patterned blocks in the set in Memento black ink and then stamping the heart in Lady Bug in the last corner.  I popped up the panel over the stamped lines (made by lining up the striped block in the set!) in Bahama Blue ink.  The button is from the new button collection (Singing the Blues) from Gina K Designs that will be available tonight!!  Finally, I added the "I love you" sentiment from the set:
