Preview Day 3: My Card Kit and Tea Time!

Welcome back!

I'm so excited about tonight's blog hop because we are featuring a lovely new stamp set illustrated by Rupa Shevde and two new card kits designed by myself!  But first, let's look at the next card kit stamp set - I know you're going to get a kick out of these images!  I can't stop giggling when I see them myself...

Is that not the cutest set of Farm animals and kids you've seen!?  They are just adorable!  I will share each card individually on my blog post on Thursday night, but thought I'd share my husband's favorite card from the bunch just so you can see a bit more of the details of the images.

The Funny Farm card kit will be included for FREE with the purchase of the Funny Farm stamp set from September 30 - October's release date.  That's a $12.95 value!

Also, for all my local readers, all next week (October 4-9) I will be hosting a Stop and Stamp event in the GinaK retail store in McFarland featuring this adorable stamp set!  We'll make 1 card and 1 note card inspired from the card kit in the store during the hours that are posted below.  No reservations necessary - just stop in and stamp with me!  Plan on spending between 20-30 minutes to complete them.

Stop and Stamp Hours:
Monday - Thursday 10-2
Saturday 10-1
Cost: $5 or free with $50 purchase in the store

Tea Time illustrated by Rupa Shevde

Rupa has done it again!  Her new Tea Time stamp set is elegant and a perfect companion to many of her other stamp sets available through GinaK Designs.  In my opinion, it's the feminine counterpart to her extremely popular My Cuppa Joe.  I love all the images in her stamp set, and choose to use the stacked tea cups for my preview post.  I colored them with Copics and added a layer of crystal lacquer over them - but the camera didn't really pick up on the shine in the photo, I'm afraid.

This beautiful Christmas stamp set has been calling to me to make a card kit since I first started designing them.  That little snowman is so cute with his smile and the cozy cottage is perfect for a winter scene, don't you think?  I'll share each of the cards in a separate post soon, but thought I'd share my favorite one from the bunch here just so you can see a bit more details.
