Free For All Friday - DIY Patterned Paper on Stamp TV

 I am hosting the Free for All Friday Challenge on Stamp TV this week.  I love to use stamps to create a patterned paper and my challenge is DIY Patterned Paper using Stamps.  I used Branching Out, Timeless Textures and the sentiment from Follow Your Dreams.  I used Ivory and Innocent Pink card stock and the center of the flowers was made using pink Liquid Pearls.  Here is a close-up of the patterned paper I created....

Quite a fun design and one I use again with other colors.

Hope you can play along with my challenge, you have until 8 pm (CST) Thursday, May 19th to upload your card to the STV gallery and tag it: STVFRIJH1

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

STV: Mix It Up Challenge

 

Stamp TV has some brand new challenges hosted by the GKD Design Team every Monday and Friday.  This week Carolina is hosting the Monday challenge with this beautiful inspiration challenge:

 I would love to have this as my table setting...ahhhhh...  You can find more details on the challenge HERE.

Here is my card based on the inspirational piece above:

This card features the newest set by Melanie, Branching Out.  I used Ivory and Green Grass cardstock and layered it with some Pink Paislee Hometown Summer patterned paper.  The flowers were stamped with Cantaloupe ink and then rocked (inked edges of floral image) with Lady Bug before stamping onto die-cut circle.  I added some Ruby Red Liquid Pearls to the center of each and love the dimension it gives.  

Sure hope you can play along with the challenge. One random winner will win a brand new GKD stamp set of their choosing.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Gina K April Release Inspiration Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Gina K. Designs April Release Inspiration Hop!  We are excited to share with you two more stamp sets which were released last Thursday.  First up is Branching Out, illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger:

I used White, Black Oynx and Green Grass on this card which was very simply stamped and layered.  I used a white opaque gel pen to add a few white accents. 

The second stamp set we are focusing on today is Follow Your Dreams, illustrated by Theresa Momber:

I used Kraft card stock and kept this pretty monochromatic other than the patterned paper.  It would work well for a masculine birthday card.  Love the font of the sentiments in this stamp set...especially this bold birthday sentiment!

For even more samples of these new sets, please visit each of the GKD Design Team blogs listed below and leave a comment. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have of winning!  Tomorrow Gina will announce on her blog the randomly chosen winners who will each win one of these fabulous new stamp sets!
