Preview Day 3: Organize it! StampTV kit

Good evening!

Tonight we are so excited to be featuring Gina's new StampTV kit called Organize it! on our blogs!! To see the full contents of this HUGE kit, check out Gina's blog and StampTV for Gina's video. It's literally a HEAVY kit filled with 24 sheets of our heavy cardstock, ribbons in both 3/8" and 5/8" widths, brads, and sateen flowers.


My first card shows how perfectly the oval in the Organize it! stamp set works with the Classic Oval Nestability dies...

Isn't the new Basic Grey Origins paper pretty with Gina's new butterfly in the Picture it! stamp set? I LOVE that butterfly!

and the inside - I like it as much as the outside! lol!

My second card uses one of my favorite images in the kit - that silhouette wildflower scene nestled in the rectangle frame also included in the kit...

I embossed the images in black versafine ink with clear embossing powder to really make them pop.

and the inside...

So Grateful

Are you one of the hundreds of GinaK customers who purchased Gina's new Signs of Autumn StampTV kit? We have been so busy at work filling orders and ended up selling out of the kit! Don't worry though - they will be back in stock by Monday morning... so, if you've waited to purchase it, it will be available again then.

My card tonight uses the floral bouquet that works perfectly with the flower image that was in the Eclectic Summer stamp set. I love pairing elements together like this!

As you can see from the photo above, I used Sakura's clear Glaze pen to trace around the stamped lines after I colored the image in with Copics. The centers of the flowers were filled with Judikins speckles - the texture is really fun.

I get a lot of questions about the leaf punch that you see on this card - if you've been a follower of my blog lately, you've seen it a lot! The name brand of the punch is Punch Bunch. You can see a photo of the leaf HERE. They don't sell the punch online through their site, but at least now you'll be armed with the information you need to find one of your own if you are looking for it! lol!

Have a great rest of your night - and a wonderful weekend!
Jessica

With Gratitude

Good evening!

I'm hostessing STV's sketch challenge this week and decided to use this card that I made with Gina's new Signs of Autumn StampTV kit for the sketch. I love the different shapes on this card!

Signs of Autumn StampTV Kit

Good evening!

Have you had a chance to check out GinaK's new StampTV video yet? You've got to see it - she is using items and stamp sets from her new Signs of Autumn StampTV kit! This kit is so amazing - I am so in love with the autumn images and sentiments she has included in it as well as our new Green Apple and Pumpkin Spice cardstocks... yummy!

My card today shows several stamp images that are included in the kit. Being a former Elementary teacher, I LOVE anything to do with apples. I have quite the collection of apple decor in my kitchen, courtesy of many of my students throughout the years. So, when I was looking through my projects to decide on which card to share with you tonight I had to use this one.

I colored the bushel basket with Copics and then cut the image out with a nestability die. Leaving the die in place, I sponged some light yellow ink around the die to highlight it. Then, I applied a layer of Crystal Lacquer to the apples, used my Clear Sakura Glaze pen for the barrel and put some Judikins Dark Straw Speckles for the dirt.

This picture really shows the difference between the Glaze pen and Crystal Lacquer. The lacquer is much thicker and more dimensional, while the glaze pen shows up more as shiny - almost leather-like, I think. I like the contrast between the two mediums.

What a great sentiment, huh? Once again, the StampTV kit has a full size stamp set filled with images and a half-sized companion sentiment stamp set. The sentiments are all mixed fonts like this one and each one has to do with gratitude and thankfulness. I love them all and know they will get a lot of use from me throughout the entire year as I am always making thank you cards.

The inside of my card shows another sentiment as well as these gorgeous leaf images that are found in the image stamp set of the kit. To get the two tones on the leaves, I used two different colored inks on them before I stamped them and then cut them out to layer them on my card.
