Today we are spotlighting the new stamp set Just a Note, Illustrated by Rupa

First up is a fun note card using like most of my cards this release, this one measures 4 1/4" x 3 1/2".  I stamped the instrument with In the Navy GKD Color Companions ink and hightlighted it lightly with a mint colored copic marker.  I added a few enamel dots and 1 tiny yellow rhinestone for accents.

Next up is a coordinating 3x3 mini card using the same papers and ink.  I added 2 tiny yellow rhinestones to the musical notes.  So cute!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Gina K October release inspiration blog hop: Day 2

Hi everyone!!  Welcome to Day 2 of the Gina K Designs DT Inspiration Blog Hop were we hope to inspire you with many beautiful ideas for the sets released in October! As you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each because we will choose a few random commenters and they will win a grab bag that could have anything from stamps to paper to embellishments!!

I have to say, I LOVE all these sets!  Man, we have some talented designers. I was so inspired that I made a couple cards with each set, I will show a card today and later this week, I will show the rest.  My first card uses Deck the Halls.  I love the ornament designs and all the possibilities this set has.  I went very CAS with this one.  I stamped the ornament in red ink and the ornament topper was embossed with silver EP.  A couple silver pearls and some cord completes this one.

Next up, is my card using Simple Snowflakes.  I have to say, I am a sucker for all things snowflake AND circles, so this set is a match made in heaven!!   I couldn't resist making a circle card with this one.  I embossed the snowflake images with white EP, which turned out really cool on the turquoise cardstock.  The pattern paper is from Gina's Blizzard pack.

Lastly, my card using Mistletoe Memories.  I love the bold sentiments and amazing mistletoe branch combos Becky desinged.  Again, I went with the silver pearls and cord and the pattern paper on this card is from Gina's Winter Whimsy.

Don't forget, all the new stamp sets are now offered in CLEAR which is what I linked.  But if you prefer rubber, click on the What's New Section and you will see both options.

I used the puffy blossoms from the Hello Sunshine kit and the Gina K Designer paper, Petals and Wings.

Last but not least is a card with the Life's a Beach set.  I used the Gina K Designer paper, Pool Side.  I made the banner with Spellbinders S5-095 Tags and Flags die templates (love this one!).

Today we are spotlighting the 2 sets, Vintage Notes: 

 and Sweet Strawberries:

My first card uses Vintage Notes designed by Tami Mayberry.  This set was designed to coordinate with Spellbinders, S4-359 Office Supplies die templates.  L.O.V.E.!!  I stamped the notebook paper and die cut it with a rectangle die and then the torn notebook edge die from Office Supplies.  I love all the stamp choices for the notebook paper, so many possibilities.

Next up is my card using Sweet Strawberries.  I just love these berries!  This set was illustrated by Theresa Momber and she did such wonderful job capturing the total yumminess of strawberries!  I colored them with my copics and using Scor-Tape and glitter outlined the square panel.

 And here is the INSIDE (for those of you scrolling by fast - this is the inside, not a separate card -lol).

I don't always decorate the inside of my cards, but I couldn't fit the sentiment on the outside and I really wanted to use this one!

Gina K Release Inspiration Blog Hop: Day 4

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the final day of the the Gina K Designs May Release Inspiration Blog hop!  Today we are spotlighting the StampTV Kit set, Vintage Chic.  Be still my little heart.  This set is A-MAZING!  I love all the images in it BIG TIME.  Kinda funny how both my cards ended up using the same image and sentiment, let's just say that was planned.  Yeah, planned!  lol!

First up is the card I shared on the Invitation blog hop post, but for those of you who missed it here it is.  I went pretty vintage with this one.  Some layering, sewing and distressing.  Soft and pretty.  

This next card is the polar opposite!  One layer CAS card.  I guess it shows just how versatile these images are.  For this card, I used some Washi Tape (a recent splurge from Etsy), some Baker's twine and a few tiny rhinestones.  The image was heat embossed (I've been doing that a lot lately) and I added some white gel pen accents to the centers.

For even more samples of these new sets, you can visit each of the GKD Design Team blogs listed below.  Make sure you leave a comment here and on each of their blogs because Gina is going to draw two randomly chosen winners from all of the blog comments, and each will get a stamp set of their choice valued at up to $24.95!  Gina will announce the winners on her blog tomorrow.
