Gina K. Designs Inspiration Hop Day #3.........True Love Stamp TV Kit!!!

It's time for a brand new Stamp TV Kit and it's a cutie!!!!!!!!  True Love designed by Gina!!!

This is the card I posted at the release party.......I love stamping my own dp as you've noticed!  LOL  I used the dainty little heart snowflake, but instead of the pink you all thought I might do....I went with a winter look!!!

And I love my Fancy Tags 2....so I just had to layer them again with the sentiment!  I used Pure Luxury in White and Ocean Mist and then just a touch of pearls and twine.


Now of course I had to make something pink too!!!!  LOL 

This Kraft colored dp was so perfect for this kit...and my friend Theresa just couldn't pass it up!  So she bought it for me and this card is for her!  Shhh...she doesn't know that yet!  ;)  Pure Luxury in Kraft, Black and Innocent Pink and some pink seam binding with flowers and just a tiny twine bow.  I distressed the edges....distressed designs are a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying new things!!!

Now enjoy the rest of the DT Hop and be sure to leave comments along the way for a chance to win a fabulous Grab Bag of Gina K. Stamps!!!!!

Gina K. Designs Inspiration Hop Day #2...........You've Got Style and Special Occasion Tags!!!

Are you ready for some STYLE???  This cuuuute new stamp set designed by Gina is called You've Got Style and it's the One Free with Three this month!!!!!

For this card I simply stamped the cute hangar image into some homemade dp....I love that technique!!  I chose markers to match the colors of the paper I used.  Pure Luxury White and Just Peachy and dp.  I do love layering my Fancy Tags for sentiments and this little daisy lace is the perfect touch for the pearls! 



And now a fun new stamp set designed by Tami called Special Occasion Tags.......

We have several friends that are adopting some very special children....and I was THRILLED that this newest set includes the perfect sentiment!!!  It was fun to just randomly stamp the various sentiments into a background and highlight the word Adoption.  I used the Spellbinders Oval Nesties. I also used one of my most favorite Pure Luxury colors, Lipstick Red!!!

Happy New Year Wishes and A Proud Mom Moment!!!!

Happy and Healthy New Year Wishes!!!!!


I'm so excited to share some super FUN news about my daughter!!!  She's a college student in her Jr. year pursuing a Graphic Arts Degree!!  And there's a brand new Digital Stamp company that has hired her on to do some designing for them!!!!   The store is run by the very sweet Michelle (tygerpaws11 on Splitcoast) and is launching TODAY!!!  Here is the link:  Can You Digi It?

My daughter's artist name is Annie J Designs.........and I want to showcase my favorite image of hers so far!!!  She also does Blog Design.....she does all of my blog designs and I change with the seasons!!!  LOL

 Stamp: CYDI - Archery Set

Paper: GKD - Pure Luxury White, Black Onyx, BG dp

Accessories: Flowers, Ribbon, Pearls, Clip, Preserves CB Folder

My very sweet friend, Misti, has two boys that are extremely talented in Archery, so that was the idea behind this first set of images called Archery Set.  I used the girl archer to make a little bit of a feminine design since my daughter's best friend is also skilled at archery!  I kept the color theme black and white with just some touches of red.  

I hope you all have some FUN plans and hopes and dreams for the new year!!!  And stay tuned for more of the Gina K. Designs Inspiration Hops on Monday and Tuesday using the newest release!!! 

Thank you all for being such a FABULOUS part of my stampy life!!!!  Many blessings and inky hugs to you all from my Colorado mountain!!!!

Gina K. Designs Inspiration Hop......Stately Flowers 2 and Mountain Wilderness!!!!

Well what a fabulous Release Party last night!!!!  Now to hop, hop, hop with some fun samples to get your mojo flowin'!!!!


First up is Melanie's newest Stately Flowers 2...........

I did look up Hawthorn flowers and found they do come in pink!!!  Not that it would stop me from coloring ANYTHING pink!  LOL   I decided to make a feminine sympathy card.....to have on hand.  Sympathy cards are so very difficult for me to make....especially on the spot.  So I figured I could make some in advance when I'm not focused on the sad event that needs one. I love the Beaded Oval Nesties.  I just went with a very floral and feminine color combo, Pure Luxury Grass Green, White and Bubblegum Pink and used ribbon and flowers and pearls.....I hope someone can smile thru tears knowing that they are loved.





Now for the uber cool Theresa and her Mountain Wilderness......oh yes....perfect for my mountain!!!

Now I just had to color these as Grizzly Bears.....(our family's e-mail addy and username has been Grizzlys for years and years!!!).  And they are at home in the snow.....just like me!!!  I did stamp them a bit off so there's a little "hole" in my snowy scene! LOL  I used Pure Luxury White and Smoky Slate for a wintry combination.  Also the Fleur de Lis Squares for a fun background accent.


Now you'll want to hop and see all the fabulous Inspiration the Design Team has in store!!  And don't forget to leave comments along the way!!!  2 commenters will be chosen randomly to win a Grab Bag of fabulous Gina K. stamps!!!!!
