For my first card I used Little Critters. I used the sweet frog image..just used the frog part of the stamp and paired it with the adorable sentiment. I colored the frog with Copic markers. The designer paper by Echo Park goes perfectly with the Pure Luxury Ocean Mist cardstock.
I wanted to use one of the bunnies in a non-chocolate way so I created a little Easter scene with him hopping along. 
I entered this into the Moxie Fab Fun with Floss challenge. I LOVE using floss on my cards. I created this heart by placing a chipboard shape on the cardstock and using a piercing tool to poke holes around it. Then, I threaded the floss through the holes. I love the texture this adds!
Materials used: Stamps: Dream Birds (Gina K Designs); Memento tuxedo black ink; cardstock-white, kraft, creme de menthe, innocent pink, lemon drop, ocean mist (Gina K Designs); ribbon; Copic markers; circle punch, tab punch (SU!); rub-on (OneHeartOneMind); adhesive pearls (Recollections); swiss dots embossing folder (Provocraft); Cuttlebug (Provocraft); embroidery floss; sewing machine.
We'd love to have you join in the hop by adding your project's direct link to Gina's blog in the Mister Linky box.
I stamped the tic tac toe heart and X design on white cardstock and then pieced the hearts. I added it to the front panel of this treat holder (which measures 2 by 2 and is a cinch to make with your Scor-Pal.)
I love this bird with the flowers. It seems so simple...but the adorable design lends itself well to so many designs. I thought it would be fun to show off some of the Gina K cardstock colors using this image...and of course I used the LOVE stamp again! (sigh!)
I LOVE the sled in this set and the sentiment is just perfect. So I combined them and added a bit of heart (love) and this makes a sweet card for someone who is far away during the holidays. The sentiment reads:
There was something about that buck.....I knew I wanted to make a card with him and ended up making a more masculine design. I used some dp and the Calendar Grid stamp for the background and then added a sentiment inside the sun.Materials used: Stamps-Life is Good, Calendar Grid (Gina K Designs); ink-Vintage Photo distress ink (Ranger); summer sun, more mustard (SU!); sponge; circle punch (SU!) ;designer paper-Autumn stack (Recollections); Ribbon-FV Trims Lizzie (Making Memories); hemp (SU!); small circle punch; brads; stapler.
For even more ways to use these fabulous stamp sets, please check tonight's featured Illustrator's blog:
I stamped the greeting right onto the card base and then added the border around the flower vase using a ruler and a black artist pen. I left the word "sister" right next to the flower (it is how it comes when you get the stamp sheet) because I knew I wanted to make a birthday greeting and thought it would be a great placement of that part of the sentiment.
After coloring the flower vase with Copics, I added some stickles to the center of the flowers. The bottom part of this card features the two new pure luxury colors that will be added to the store on Thursday--Ocean Mist and Crème de Menthe. Beautiful!!! Love these colors!
Materials used: Stamps-Lovely Shelf; Memento tuxedo black ink; Copic Markers; cardstock-white, Ocean mist, Crème de Menthe (Gina K Designs); ribbon-Offray; stickles- Tiara (Ranger); slit punch (SU!); black artist pen.
Next, here is my card using Tech Talk:
This set has lots of images to create the perfect desk but I wanted to focus more on the love notes....so I paired the cute envelope with the laptop and fun greeting. Since the computer is the primary way my husband and I communicate...I thought this would be perfect.
Materials used: Stamps-Tech Talk (Gina K Designs); Memento tuxedo black ink; Copic markers; cardstock-white-Gina K Designs); designer paper-Everyday, Long Time No See (American Crafts) ; adhesive stickers (Recollections); ribbon (SU!); corner rounder punch; sewing machine.
Blog candy is coming soon!!!! Still gathering all the items!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
The only touch of texture on this is the fringe ribbon....but it is very thin and does not bulk up a card for mailing. (I am thinking about this a lot these days as I am currently sending a TON of mail out!)
