Preview Day 2

Good evening!

Tonight we are previewing three new stamp sets from 3 of our fabulous Illustrators on our blogs! These sets will be available for purchase on Thursday, August 26th at 10pm central on GinaK Designs online store.

*** Faithful Florals by Tami Mayberry **** 

Tami has designed a beautiful stamp set with delicate floral images along with touching sentiments and verses that I am thrilled to have in my collection.  I chose to use a couple of sentiments and floral images on my card tonight, letting the images take center stage as they should.  The card is pretty basic - I let Tami's beautiful images along with some patterned papers from my very favorite patterned paper company October Afternoon do all the 'work' for me!

Card Details 

Stamps: Faithful Florals (GKD)

Cardstock: GinaK kraft, black, ivory; October Afternoon dp

Ink: Memento; distress inks

Other: Spellbinder heart and label 7 die; twine; sewing machine; blending tool

*** Farm Life by Theresa Momber *** 

Theresa has done it again!  I seriously don't know how she can draw these realistic images by hand, do you!?  Her new set, Farm Life is gorgeous and will be much used and loved in my collection!  While this card is pretty simple in design, I am in love with the simplicity of it and plan to use this layout more often!  I love the size of her images in her set and how easily they make the focal point of the card or scrapbook pages... which you'll see from me later as well.

***Boo! illustrated by Asela Hopkins ***

And, to finish off my projects for tonight I have a card with Asela's new adorable Boo! stamp set - just look at how cute these images are!  And, that sentiment - simply adorable!  I made this 3 1/4" x 6 1/4" card with some halloween paper from Basic Grey because they just naturally seemed to go together.  This was a super quick and easy card to put together too - I love it when it works out like that, don't you?
