Momma found a fun treat idea called cake pops that we made the other day. We used the directions in the book Cake Pops by Angie Dudley. They turned out so good!

One more day of Blast From the Past, and we are featuring the illustrators Tami Mayberry and Gina Krupsky. After you view the projects made with their beautiful illustrations, join us on StampTV for a virtual release party!

The entire GinaK Designs team would like to invite you to the virtual Release party we’ll be having tonight (Thursday, August 5th) on StampTV.  It will be a bit different than our usual release party, but we’ll still have challenges, contest questions, and designer samples that you won’t want to miss out on!  See you there for all the fun!

Tonight I have one more stamp set to preview before the Release Party – “Versatile Verses by Gina K.” This stamp set has a fun oval frame and several sentiments to place inside of it as I did below.

The frame  from the set was inked in black ink and stamped off onto scrap paper before stamping it on the Pure Luxury White cardstock to get a gray color. The sentiment was stamped inside of the frame using black ink and then I cut out the frame using an oval nestabilities die – it matched perfectly!

The oval was layered onto a piece of PL Smokey Slate cardstock with rounded corners, before I added four small silver rhinestones. I used one of the images from the In Stitches stamp set to create the background on the PL Turquoise Sea cardbase. I wrapped a white piece of ribbon around the cardbase and mounted the main image with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Versatile Verses (GKD), In Stitches (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), White
• Paper: PL Turquoise Sea (GKD), PL Smokey Slate (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: White Ribbon (GKD), Silver Rhinestones (GKD), Oval Nestabilities (GKD), Corner Rounder, Dimenisonals

Today I’m previewing th Spring Florals stamp set by Gina K.  Be sure to join us at the release party in the Gina K. Designs Member forum on Splitcoast, 7-10PM CST, Thursday, Feb 11.

The floral image was stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock using black ink and then colored with Copic markers: YG00, YG03, Y00, Y21, Y28, G000, and G00. I adhered a piece of PL Chocolate Kiss cardstock behind the image and sewed the two layers together using my Sew Mini. The sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using black ink and then adhered over the floral image.

The cardfront is PL Green Apple and I stamped another floral image on the left side using Olive Vivid! ink. I adhered a piece of yellow ribbon behind the floral image panel and then mounted the panel to the cardfront with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Spring Florals (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), Olive Vivid! (GKD)
• Paper: PL Green Apple (GKD), PL Chocolate Kiss (GKD), PL White (GKD)

I was playing around with a Copic technique that I saw on Marianne Walker’s blog using Copic markers to color the rubber stamp, and then stamp the image onto a piece of cardstock saturated with colorless blender. I love the way this turned out! Gina also has a tutorial on her blog here.

This card uses the Picture It! stamp set included with the Organize It! StampTV kit available from Gina K. Designs.

The flower image was inked with Copic markers: G99 for the leaves; YG95 for the stems; YR23, RV13, V06, and BV13 for the flowers. I saturated the Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock with the colorless blender and then stamped the image onto the cardstock. Once the colorless blender evaporated, the image nice and crisp!

I cut out and embossed the PL Ivory cardstock with a rectangle nestabilities die and mounted it to the PL Soft Sand cardstock using dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink below the panel. I dyed a piece of pink ribbon with the V06 Copic marker and then used glue dots to secure it in the shape of a bow behind the PL Ivory panel.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Picture It! (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Pink Ribbon (GKD), Nestabilities (GKD), Dimensionals

I have a few more projects from the craft sale to show you. This one uses the “Sweetest Blessings” stamp set from Gina K. Designs.

The main image was stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I added some silver stickles to the frosting and then mounted the white cardstock to the PL Green Apple cardstock.

The cardbase is PL Soft Sand and the main image was mounted to it with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment below the main image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Sweetest Blessings (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL White (GKD), PL Green Apple
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Silver Stickles (GKD), Dimensionals
