5.25-2015 Spent the day creating

I decided to play with my newer Gina K Design's dies and stamps from the last kit Fun.

I used the negative space of a Spellbinder scalloped circle to stencil the background for this GKD flower from the Birthday Blessings stamp set. Can you guess that I am having fun!

Come back tomorrow for some more creativity with new stamps from Mark's!

Sun., May 24, 2015 Elegant Florals 2

I whipped this up just playing around today. Since hubby is Dutch, I am definitely drawn to the tulip image, which I colored with Copics after I fussy cut it out and placed it on the stenciled background. I made the background with a Spellbinder cutout leftover!

Have a great Holiday weekend! Happy Memorial Day!

Sat., 5-23-2015 A Simple Thank you

Fri. 5-22-2015 Another GKD card

I was playing in my studio yesterday and created this one to share with you, I don't mind fussy cutting too much, so this was relaxing to make. I colored the flowers with Copics and added bronze glitter to their centers. I used the stamps from the Elegant Florals 2 set, by Theresa Momber. This is such a great set and useful for so many occasions too. I decided to use the July 4th colors, for a July birthday person. The Spellbinder cut oval was sponged with Antique Linen Distressed ink from Tim Holtz. I edged the card 1/4 " from the edges with my Scor-Pal. I changed the color of the DP by sponging some blue over the mostly green paper. Thank you for visiting !

Sunday May 17, 2015 Another Lavender Creation

Look at this beauty in Lavender and using Flowers and Frames stamps and dies from Gina K. Designs. Very quickly put together and shows you how these dies and stamps make for a fast card. I slightly colored the flowers with Copics and then used dimensionals to pop up the flowers.

I appreciate you stopping by to check out my card today!

Sat. May 16, 2015 The Rose and Gingham Thank You

This one was made today using Gingham designer paper and also a rose from the Flower and Frame set, by Gina K Designs. A soft and feminine looking card, don't you think? The added pearls draw your eye to the rose stamp. I added some simple Copic colors to the rose, but it was a quick creation, using mostly ink from a GKD Stamp Pad.

I appreciate you stopping by and checking out this card today!

Friday, May 15, 2015 Bright and Sunny

Today we have another one that I made using Melanie's Triple Frame with added flowers from the Flowers and Frames 2 set, from Gina K. Designs' kit.

I used Copics to color after I stamped the flowers in Memento ink, and after cutting them out I popped them on dimensionals. I stamped the frame with GKD Sweet Mango ink. The sentiment is from the Flowers and Frames 2 set.

It was fun to create this one today!

Happy Mother's Day May 10, 2015

This is a pretty lavender card, and I realize I love this color as I have used it a lot lately. I used the Gina K. set, called Birthday Blessings, from the STV kit. I also used Theresa Momber's Elegant Florals 2. This makes for a lovely card, all in Lavender, with a touch of twine!

Thank you for visiting today!

A Mother's Day card for someone special 5-9-2015

I made this Mother's Day card for a very special new mom, and I hope she likes it. I used Gina K. Design's Elegant Florals 2 stamp set by Theresa Momber, which I fussy cut and mounted on the GKD Frame Filler. A Cuttlebug folder was used to give dimension to the Asparagus Green CS background. I colored with my Copics and added a pretty little bow to balance things.

Thank you for visiting!

Fri. May 8, 2015 Lots of Bright Color

I played around with Melanie's Triple Play stamp set, and also by adding a sentiment from Theresa Momber's stamp set named Elegant Florals 2.

Lots of bright Copics and Gina BG patterned paper make for a very colorful Birthday Card!

I had quite a bit of fun making this one and am so glad you stopped by to take a look!

May 7, 2015 Happy Birthday with gems

I fussy cut these flowers from Gina K. Design's and added the sentiment from the Birthday Blessings stamp set. I just used black CS on this white card base so they was a minimal amount of color on this card. The CB Dotted Swiss panel was a nice background for the flowers!

Thank you for visiting!

May 6, 2015 Lavender with a Butterfly

This is one I made using Gina K. Design's patterned paper and and old sentiment from a long time ago, that I had saved. I really like the way this one turned out!

Tuesday, May 5, 2015

Tues., May 5, 2015 Two small squares

These are two 4" square cards, that I made using Gina K. Designs stamps. The first one uses stamps from a free set called My Most Favorite from 2013. The second one just uses a sentiment from Elegant Florals 2, by Theresa Momber.
I am slowly using up some of the scraps that have been on my desk for way too long!

Thank you for stopping by today!

5-4-2015 Happy Birthday

This is a CAS one I made using the Gina K. Designs stamps with coordinating dies, This was colored
mostly with Copics and a quick sponging of Tim Holtz Distress inks. This was a lot of fun to create and came together quickly, because the dies made it so fast.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

5-3-2015 Birthday Blessings in Lavender

Happy Birthday to my son, Mike!
I am amazed how the time has flown by- so fast!

Now here is the card I have to show you today!

Today I am sharing a Lavender color creation using flowers that were stamped and fussy cut. I stamped them out twice so I could have a fuller bouquet, after I cut them out to use. The flower stamp is from Theresa Momber's Vertical Greetings stamp set. Love this stamp set!

Thank you for visiting to see what I had made for you today.

May 2, 2015 A Sympathy Card today

I try and make these sympathy cards to have on hand because you might need one unexpectedly, so I want to have a few ready. This one uses the Birthday Blessings stamp set from Gina K Designs as well as the Vertical Greetings set by Theresa Momber. I appreciate you taking a look at this one today.

Small Flowers

I think these colors really put me in the mood for Spring time, especially with these flower images. It was easy to color them with Copics and place them on plain white card stock and ribbon! Fun and so happy looking!

Here is another I just made, using the Small Flowers set released this month, and I added the sentiment from November 2014 Java Time. I sponged a white card base with Memento Brown ink, to make it look coffee colored! I fussy cut the left flower, but after cutting the other I decided to glue it flat, since I had already popped up the left image. For the sentiment, I placed a piece of painter's tape down until I finished sponging. I then removed the tape gently and stamped the sentiment in the white space underneath!
