Congrat and CFC5

A couple of cards to share today.  This one uses a sentiment from Follow Your Dreams and I paired it with some Webster's Pages patterned paper.

My dear friend Linda Payne sent me some happy mail last week which included this adorable stamp set from The Craft's Meow.  I just had to get it inky and thought the CAS-ual Friday's challenge (which is a sketch this week) would be perfect!  Hope it is okay as I flipped the sketch :o)

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

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!

Hope you have your shades...cause this is BRIGHT!  I used the Card Patterns 112 sketch and some Echo Park Paper Summer Days patterned paper.  The pretty green paper is a new line from Gina K. Designs: Pure Luxury Accents Key Lime, it is just a great layering card stock.  The mug is from the stamp set Mugs and Kisses and I combined it with one of the sentiments from the new stamp set Follow Your Dreams.   The fabulous label it is layered on is from Lovely Labels 2.  Great labels to have on hand and incorporate into your designs.

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!
