With this Ring...

Good morning!

I have some more new release stamp projects to share today that I was going to share during Gina's party but couldn't since I wasn't able to attend! They are both made with Rupa's beautiful new With this Ring stamp set. I had so much fun using the images from the stamp set - they are all so perfect for weddings and anniversaries.

My first card shows how well the Marvy Scallop Heart punches work with Rupa's Floral Wreath. I used both the blue and yellow punches for this layered look. The paper is from Stampin' Up's Rockability paper pack.

Here's the inside view...


Next up is a card I made with my parent's upcoming anniversary in mind...

My mom had yellow roses at their wedding and seriously these wedding rings remind me of my parent's rings. Especially my mom's - hers has a ring with etched stars in the center of it just like Rupa's image!

Everything on both cards were colored with Copics after stamping in Black Versafine ink on GinaK's Pure Luxury cardstock. I embossed the ink with detail clear embossing powder. This extra step really adds to the elegance of the set - I love embossing with wedding cards.

Here's the inside view...

As you can see, I used the plain and scallop heart nestabilities for the insides of both of these cards. It took just a little extra time to finish the cards off but really adds to them, doesn't it?

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Summer Flowers

Happy Saturday!

My first card was made with Rupa's beautiful new With this Ring stamp set. I paired it with some Stampin Up cardstock for a modern look. Everything was colored with Copic markers. I forgot to include the photo of the inside of the card, but it's similar to my other With this Ring cards I shared a few days ago during the Previews here on my blog.


This next card shows off some of the daisies that are found in the Eclectic Summer StampTV kit along with the Ribbon Stripes checkered background. When looking at this photo, I realized my strip of rust cardstock was crooked, so I fixed it. Oops! So, just imagine that it's straight... lol!

Here's a closer look at those gorgeous daisies...

I stamped them in Black Stazon and paper pieced the centers by stamping on Mustard paper and punching out the circles with a 3/4" circle punch (I think. I'm not at my desk right now to check but it was either a 3/4" or a 5/8" punch.) Since I used Stazon, I couldn't color the images with Copics, so I used some stickles to embellish them instead.

Have a great weekend!

Day 2: Weddings and Fathers...

Good morning!

Weren't yesterday's projects amazing!? I always love seeing what everyone comes up with during these previews... the talent on Gina's team is simply breath-taking, isn't it?! I can't wait to see what all of you - our loyal GinaK Followers will come up with when YOU get these new stamps and start sharing your works of art with us on StampTV and Splitcoast. I get so inspired seeing everyone's work - don't you?

We have two new stamp sets that we're showing off today and first up with one of my favorite wedding sets I've ever seen called With this Ring from Rupa Shevde...

I used Kaiser Kraft's Black Pearls to highlight the main image. Here's a close up of those wedding bells - you can always click on my photos to make them appear larger for an even closer look ...

Here's the inside view - decorated with the Scallop and Plain Heart Nestabilities...

I may not be able to be at the whole release party on Thursday night, so I'm going to share one more card I made with Rupa's stamp set. Plus, I just love this stamp image and wanted to show it to you...

Is that a beautiful wedding cake, or what!? Everything I'm sharing with you today was colored with Copic Markers on GinaK's Pure Luxury white cardstock, by the way.

Here's the inside view of the card...



Now, next up is a brand new stamp set from a brand new Illustrator for GinaK Designs: Nina Bracket! We are thrilled to have her join the team! She is a genious digital artist and has designed an amazing Father's Day set for us this month called Special Father. There is a matching Digital Paper pack that will be available from Nina that coordinates perfectly with her stamp set too!!

Her style is similar in some ways to Rupa's and when I saw this image in Nina's new set I HAD to pair it up with one of my favorite images from Rupa's Guiding Light stamp set to make this card...

Don't they look like they belong together? This is a scene stamp - everything is all in place, so you just ink it up and go. I LOVE those kinds of images and hope we'll see more of them from Nina, don't you?

I stamped the image in Memento ink and then stamped Rupa's Lighthouse image to the bottom right hand side of Nina's scene. No masking, no Stamp-a-ma-jig... I just eyeballed it - and thankfully it turned out just where I wanted it. I love it when that happens - and it doesn't always, trust me! lol!

Here's a little closer view of the scene...


Did you catch the cardbase? It's Gina's new NAVY cardstock that will be available both in the StampTV kit (which we'll be previewing TOMORROW!!) as well as in packages of 25 sheets. This cardstock is perfect! It's the thickness that we've come to expect from GinaK's Pure Luxury cardstock line. She's also releasing RED cardstock too - have you heard? lol!

Here's all the links to the eyecandy from GinaK's team this morning:


Happy Blog hopping and we'll see you back here tomorrow morning with the new StampTV kit's previews!!
