I made this baby card using the Lovely Labels stamp set and the new Pure Luxury Lemon Drop cardstock – doesn’t it look delicious?

The label image was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Vivid Olive ink, trimmed and then mounted to the PL Lemon Drop cardfront with dimensionals. The sentiment from the O Baby stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink into the center of the label.

I finished the card with the addition of the blue coordinating ribbon from the new Spring ribbon assortment. I tied it in a bow and adhered it to the label with a glue dot.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Lovely Labels (GKD), O Baby (GKD)
• Ink: Vivid Olive (GKD), Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Lemon Drop (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Blue Gingham Ribbon (GKD), Glue Dots, Dimensionals

I have two stamps sets to preview today – “O Baby” and “Pressed Flowers.”

Rupa’s new set “O Baby” has several cute images in it coordinates beautifully with the new cardstock and button collection.

Supplies:

• Stamps: O Baby (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Mement0 (GKD)
• Paper: PL Ocean Mist (GKD), PL Creme de Menthe (GKD), PL Innocent Pink (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Spring Has Sprung Button Collection (GKD), Ribbon (GKD), Circle Cutter, Dimensionals

Melanie Muenchinger’s new stamp set “Pressed Flowers” coordinates perfectly with her “Year of Flowers” stamp set. I used the bold image from her new set on this card, and the line art image from her old set.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Pressed Flower (GKD), Year of Flowers (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Green Apple (GKD), PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Black Onyx (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Silver Rhinestones (GKD), Scallop Scissors, Dimensionals

The Pressed Flowers stamp set was designed to be a perfect companion to Melanie’s A Year of Flowers set! It is also a perfect stand alone set as each bold stamp image lends itself to many techniques as you will see on each designer’s blogs tonight!

Start with the Illustrator’s blog Melanie Muenchinger and then visit these designer’s blogs for even more samples with this stamp set and Rupa Shevde’s O Baby Stamp set as well!

* also previewing the new Card Kit Stamp set: Spring Florals

Today begins the previews of the brand new Gina K. Designs release! You’ll LOVE these images. I’m previewing both Melanie Muenchinger’s and Rupa Shevde’s stamp sets today. First is Melanie’s “Wee Tee’s”.

Isn’t that baby outfit just adorable! Melanie packed the set full of little images and words to add to your outfit, and I decided to make a super simple card with a Pure Luxury cardbase and Copic markers. Because I used the Base weight cardstock, there was no bleeding on the inside of the card.

I didn’t get my card finished with Rupa’s set, but I’ll post that in a little bit.

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team’s samples for this set and Rupa’s:
Asela Hopkins, Carolyn King, Cindy Lawrence, Donna Baker, Emily Giovanni, Erika Martin, Gina Krupsky, Jessica Fick, Joanne Basile, Kurtis Amundson, Melanie Muenchinger, Theresa Momber, and Beverly Cole

Also, Melanie has two guest designers: Libby Hickson & Laura Jean Nygaard.
