The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop … Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.
Today's first featured stamp set is Vertical Greetings by Theresa Momber. Here's my card:
To make the wreath, I die cut a 3-inch circle from cardstock, then used the template to lightly "score" around the shape with my bone folder on the card front. This will make a slight indentation in the card base -- enough to act as a guide to stamp the sprig with Grass Green ink and make it into a wreath! The berries were made with a dot from Beth's new Lots of Thanks stamp set we will debut on Wednesday, stamped with Red Hot ink. The sentiment was stamped with Warm Cocoa ink and Kraft ink was sponged around the edges of the Ivory card base.
Our next set for today is It's the Little Things by Becky Oehlers:
Don't you just love all the sweet animals in this set?!! I'm especially fond of this cute elephant, so I stamped him onto an Inchie Arts Black ATC-sized matboard Art Square with Gina's fabulous White pigment ink, to create a chalkboard effect. Smudge more white ink around the edges of the Art Board, for a realistic chalkboard look. The stamped Art Board was matted with a White die cut scalloped rectangle, popped up with Copic Foam Tape onto a Cherry Red card base and accented with a Mixed Berries button.
