GinaK Blog Hop

Welcome back!

Tonight several the designers from GinaK Designs are getting together to show off some of our favorite background techniques that Gina has added technique videos for on StampTV.  I chose the scoring with the Scor-Pal scor-buddy for my card.  I used the 1/4" marks that are conveniently marked on the grid and ended up making a rather quick background panel for this quick and easy card...

Card Details
Stamps: Funny Farm (GKD)
Ink: Memento
Cardstock: GinaK
Other: Scor Pal Scor-buddy; 5/8" navy ribbon; copic markers; marvy scallop punches

Then, on the inside, I used the grid lines again to make this 1/4" frame around the white mat, similar to Gina's video here.

See, I told you exciting things were happening at the retail store in McFarland, didn't I!?  lol!

Now, let's look at each card project in a bit more detail...

I just love this little lamb - isn't he adorable!?   The card size is 5" x 4 1/4" - a bit different than the normal size, but I like it.

Other: houndstooth embossing folder; spellbinder long scallop rectangle, circle and big scallop circle dies; copic markers; stickles; GinaK buttons; 1/4" black gingham ribbon; sakura glitter pens

This little note card is a piece of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card stock, scored at 2 3/4".  I love these little note cards - the perfect size for a gift tag/card, don't you think?  My release party challenge I shared last night was to make one of these little note cards.  If you haven't seen the challenge yet, check out the discussion HERE.  If you add your card to the StampTV gallery by Monday night, your project will be entered into a chance to win a stamp set valued at $24.95 of your choice!
