Welcome to Gina K Designs’ November stamp set release inspiration blog hops! We hope you enjoyed the Release Party last night -- Remember, all of the new October release stamp sets are now available in Gina’s store! Our first stamp set being featured today is: Stately Flowers 1 by Melanie Muenchinger -- aren't these flowers gorgeous?!! I adore flowers (and I'm sure glad Melanie knows that, too!) . . . this is a fabulous concept Melanie came up with!
Here’s my sample -- the rest of the sneak peak I showed you yesterday:
For this birthday card, I stamped the beautiful poppies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic's X-Press It Blending Card and then selected my Copic colors to coordinate with the patterned papers I chose, using my Copic color chart:
I used Copic's Pitch Black Atyou Spica Glitter Pen to accent the center of the flower, and I also went over the "Happy Birthday" stamped sentiment (from Pleasant Plurals) with the glitter pen, to give it a little more emphasis and sparkle!
An orange dotted paper die cut was added on the inside of the card and Gina's Sweet Mango Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight cardstock, die cut with Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Motifs frames the poppies:
Our next stamp set being featured today is: Make a State-ment also by Melanie Muenchinger -- what a great set to compliment the Stately Flowers series OR to stand alone!
Here’s my sample card that I thought would make a fun Valentine:
I used this week’s CPS #246 sketch for the layout of my card; it measures 4.25” square. Papers are all from Gina's Nature's Greetings 6x6 paper pack. It's a little difficult to see, but the scalloped border is Spellbinders Classic Scallop Edgeabilities with Classic Postage Stamp Edgeabilities insert that is four hearts that form a flower!
And the tiny heart die cuts make great confetti to place inside the card!
These Gina K design team members also have samples to share today. Make sure you leave a comment on each of the blogs because Gina will choose two random winners from all of the comments who will each receive a grab bag of free stamps (at least 12 stamp sets in each bag)! The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win . . . good luck!
