Unconditional Love

Hi!

I'm sharing one of my favorite new release cards with you tonight - it has several of my favorite things right now on it... buttons, sewing, embroidery floss, spellbinder dies, distress inks, along with my beloved October Afternoon Fly a Kite collection papers!  Not to mention the great sentiments included in GinaK's current Free with Three stamp set called Masculine Messages.  As I said before though, I love the sentiments for any gender!

I love you more every day!

Good evening!

I hope you have had an enjoyable weekend.  It's been a nice one for me, filled with family and friends and even some stamping - so all in all, it was good!  My card tonight is one of my favorites that I made with two new GinaK Designs stamp sets: Vintage Backgrounds and Masculine Messages.

I used a Stampin Up bird punch and this scrap of October Afternoon Fly a kite paper together, because it looked like a window to me - do you see it too?  The argyle paper is from Nina Brackett's new Bright and Grungy Argyle pack - love her argyle print and the style of her papers!

Day 4 Previews: Vintage Backgrounds and Masculine Messages

Good evening!

Thanks for checking in on me on this last day of Previews for April's release with GinaK Designs!  Let's jump right in and talk about the first stamp set I'm showcasing on my card above.  Nina Brackett has done it again by designing a gorgeous must have stamp set called Vintage Backgrounds.  On my card below, I used 4 images from her set - you'll have to let me know if you can spot them all: 2 on the front and 2 on the inside.

I also used her coordinating Bright & Grungy Polka Dots digital paper for the star punch outs - isn't the yellow a nice pop of color against the Turquoise Sea and Red Hot cardstocks?  And, look - more sewing!  I used a sentiment from Asela's Sew Pretty stamp set to finish it off...

Stamps: Sew Pretty and Vintage Backgrounds
Cardstock: GinaK; Bright and Grungy Dots
Ink: Memento and white craft

Other: Spellbinder's oval die; sewing machine; embossing folder; buttons; embroidery floss; Marvy Star punches

********** Masculine Messages: Free with Three stamp set *********

The last new stamp set for this month is the Free with Three sentiment set called Masculine Messages.  But, the name may be a bit misleading since I have made several cards with this set that are gender neutral or even feminine in nature.  The sentiments Gina choose to include in the set are some of my all time favorite ones!

I used a journaling card and sticker from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite collection as the backdrop for this adorable message...
