Welcome to Day 1 of Gina K Designs’ May release stamp set inspiration blog hops! Our first stamp set being introduced today is:
Vogue Vases by Theresa Momber - Isn’t this a fun set? You can design any kind of floral arrangement you’d like in the vases, or use any of the elements separately!
I decided to make a birthday tag card, using some of fabulous new patterned paper from the new May/June Stamp TV Kit-Vintage Chic AND the gorgeous new Gina K Designs cardstock color this month, Just Peachy – I LOVE these colors together!
I created a tag card base measuring 5.50” x 3.75” out of Gina’s Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight Ivory Cardstock cardstock (folds at the top) and attached a strip of black & white patterned paper from the new Vintage Chic Stamp TV Kit (you can see Gina’s preview video of the kit HERE and see what she used to also color the patterned paper!). Since the Ivory cardstock and the patterned paper printed on white didn’t match, I just used my Copic E50 marker to color the white to make it match the Ivory cardstock:
You can see the original white color of the patterned paper on the right in the photo above.
The flowers were stamped in black onto the Ivory card base and then again onto Just Peachy cardstock, cut out and popped up over the original stamping. The vase was also stamped onto Just Peachy cardstock,cut out and popped up.
See those pretty swirls right above the patterned paper? That’s a great border/shelf stamp that’s included in this set!
Our second stamp set today is Border Bling by Melanie Muenchinger - This set matches Spellbinders Labels One, Four, Nine, Fourteen, Sixteen and Classic Oval Nestabilities (and a bunch more you can find, I’m sure)!
I used the tall frame on the upper right, that matches with one of my favorite Spellbinders – Labels Four:
I stamped the large bling frame with StazOn-White Opaque ink onto Gina’s Kraft cardstock. Immediately after stamping, I sprinkled Crystal Glitter onto the ink and let it dry –- hopefully you can see the pretty sparkle in this photo:
Next, I stamped the oval bling frame with Broken China Distress Ink onto patterned paper and die cut it with Classic Scalloped Oval Nestabilities. The edges of the patterned papers were distressed and machine stitched to the Ivory card base. Scor-Tape holds the rouched aqua seam binding in place.
