This card uses a fun flower image from Nina Brackett’s “Hugs and Prayers” stamp set along with a sentiment from Gina K.’s “Botanicals” stamp set.

The flower image was stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock using black ink and colored with copic markers: R20, R22, R27, R29, YG96, G99, and Y08. I trimmed out the flower image and mounted it to a piece of PL White cardstock using glue dots and then layered it onto a piece of PL Smokey Slate cardstock.

The main image was adhered to the PL Turquoise Sea cardbase and after stamping the sentiment onto PL Soft Sand cardstock, I mounted it to the card with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hugs and Prayers (GKD), Botanicals (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (GKD)
• Paper: PL Turquoise Sea (GKD), PL Smokey Slate (GKD), PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Dimensionals

Tonight I get to preview two beautiful new stamp sets: “Hugs and Prayers” by Nina Brackett, and “Seeds of Kindness” by Gina K. Both of these sets are filled with floral images (Nina’s has humming birds and butterflies too) as well as several sentiments.

For the card above, I stamped the bold Poppy image in VersaMark onto the Pure Luxury Cranberry Crisp cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. The cardbase is PL Soft Sand with a scallop edge created with the Tulip Boderabilities and a length of belle fiber compliments the waves of the scallops and flower petals.

The sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, layered onto vellum, secured with two silver brads and then mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This next project, I tried to create an asian/modern style with the colors and sentiment arrangement. The main flower image was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic Markers. BG93, BG96, BV23, BV29, and V12 for the leaves. RV02, RV04, RV06, Y06, and Y08 for the flowers. Y21, Y28, C-1, C-3, and C-5 for the pot and shadow.

The two parallel lines were created with the solid line image from the new In Stitches stamp set and the sentiment was stamped on the top line. I layered the main image over a piece of PL Sm0key Slate cardstock and then mounted the image to my PL Soft Sand cardfront.

Tonight is the last night of previews before the Gina K. Designs May Release Party, and I have one more stamp set to preview – “Friends are Forever” by Gina K.

The flower image was stamped onto Pure Luxury White cardstock using black ink and then colored with Copic markers: V000, BV00, YR23, YG63, & YG67. I layered the image into a piece of PL Smoky Slate cardstock and after stamping and trimming the sentiment, I adhered it over the flower stems and added two brads. The PL Lovely Lavender cardbase was wrapped with a piece of white ribbon and the main image was mounted over it with dimensionals.

The previews continue tonight with two more stamp sets – “Enjoy the Sunshine” StampTV Kit and “Stars” by Tami Mayberry.

I CASED the layout for this layout from [a card I designed] for a previous release party. The daisy image was stamped with black ink onto white cardstock and colored with Copic markers: YR31, YR23, YG63, YG67, E50, E53, C-1. I sewed along the left edge of the white cardstock and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock. The green cardfront was stamped with one of the bold images from the kit and then I adhered to main image to the front. the sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, distressed, and mounted with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Enjoy the Sunshine (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), Olive Vivid (GKD)
• Paper: PL Grass Green (GKD), PL Black Onyx (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Sewing Machine & Thread, Dimensionals

This was a fun stamp set to use. Tami Mayberry has several adorable star images and I used two of them on this card, stamped in blue and green ink on the white cardstock. I layered the stamped cardstock onto another piece of white cardstock after distressing it and then adhered it to the new Sweet Mango cardstock.

The sentiment from Elegant Flowers was stamped onto PL Slate cardstock and I set an eyelet in the right side before mounting to the card with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stars (GKD), Elegant Flowers (GKD)
• Ink: Tart Pear Memento (GKD), Aqua Vivid (GKD), White
• Paper: PL Sweet Mango (GKD) PL Slate (GKD), PL White (GKD)
