I used the tree image from Theresa Momber’s new stamp set “Gone Fishing” and stamped it in Olive Vivid ink onto Pure Luxury Green Apple cardstock. The sentiment is from Gina K.’s new Masculine Messages stamp set and was stamped in VersaMark over the trees and then embossed with white embossing powder.

The PL White cardbase was wrapped with a piece of gold striped white ribbon and then the main image was mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals. I pierced one of Gina K.’s sateen flowers and secured a gold brad in the center. The flower was then mounted to the card with a glue dot.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Masculine Messages (GKD), Gone Fishing (GKD)
• Ink: Olive Vivid (GKD), VersaMark (GKD)
• Paper: PL White (GKD), PL Green Apple (GKD)

I made these treats for prizes at a paintball game that my brother hosted. They are packages of sixlets wrapped in a stamped piece of cardstock.

The Palm Fronds image from Stampendous was stamped with Vivid Olive ink onto Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus cardstock. I added two copperbrads to the left of the frond image and then secured the cardstock around the candy.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Palm Fronds (Stampendous)
• Ink: Vivid Olive (GKD)
• Paper: PL Fresh Asparagus (GKD)
• Accessories: Copper Brads (GKD), Sixlets candies

It is time for another Gina K. Designs release! I have two samples to preview today using the stamp sets Hang in There and Hope is Faith.

This card uses the Hang in There stamp set by Theresa Momber. The adorable koala bear image was stamped with black ink onto Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The koala was colored with E51, W-3, W-5, and 0. The branch was colored with E29, E71, and E77. The Background was colored with G21, YG63, YG67, and YG91.

The word “thanks” was stamped with black ink onto PL Ivory cardstock, trimmed and mounted with dimensionals. For the finishing touch, I added a piece of brown ribbon.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hang in There (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic markers (GKD), Brown Ribbon (GKD), Dimensionals

These two images are from the Hope is Faith stamp set that was created to raise money for Haiti (see below and Gina’s blog for more info). I crated the colored background using watercolor crayons and a paint brush on PL White cardstock. The butterfly image was stamped over the background with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a paper pierced trail was made under it.

The PL White cardstock was mounted to a piece of PL Black Onyx cardstock and I trimmed the bottom with a scallop scissors. The cardfront is PL Moonlit Fog and the sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using black ink and mounted with dimensionals to the cardfront. A blue button (new in this release) was added next to the sentiment.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hope is Faith (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)

The Hope is Faith mini stamp set retails for $9.95. It was created to raise money for the Red Cross to help with the devastation in Haiti. $2.00 of every purchase of this stamp set will be sent directly to the Red Cross throughout the month of February.

As the first responders to disasters around the world, the Red Cross is there to help with the basic needs of these people who have suffered so much.

The images used on the card below are from the Life Is Good stamp set by Theresa Momber from Gina K. Designs.

The train image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a piece of Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock. The landscape images were stamped using Vivid ink; Aqua, Cobblestone, and Olive. I first inked the entire image with Cobblestone, then wiped the ink off of the trees and the reflection. Then after inking the trees and reflection with Olive, I used the Aqua ink and wiped it along the reflection to add a little blue.

The sentiment was stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and three silver brads were added around the sentiment.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Life Is Good (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), Cobblestone Vivid (GKD), Olive Vivid (GKD), Aqua Vivid (GKD)
• Paper: PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Silver Brads
