A Year of Flowers Book Hop

 Thank you for hopping along today with the Gina K. Design Team!! If you arrived here from Giovana's blog, then you're right where you should be. You can always go to StampTV to start from the beginning.  The inspiration for today's hop came from Melanie Muenchinger's new book called, A Year of Flowers.

While you can make every design in the book with Melanie’s all occasion “A Year of Flowers” set, today’s samples showcase her coordinating florals, which can also be used with the book's tutorials and designs, and provide endless options and more value for your money. We are excited to share cards and projects we created using some of our favorite flower sets designed by Melanie! We love her new book and know you will too - don't miss out on getting your very own copy which you can purchase HERE!

My sample uses Pressed Flowers:

I did a bit of kissing with the solid floral image using one of the backgrounds from Timeless Textures.  I stamped the flowers with Memento Summer Sky and kissed prior to stamping with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  I added some additional color by using the same "kissing" stamp by stamping randomly using Memento Desert Sand.  Melanie's floral stamp sets are amazing and love the detail she gives to these beautiful images.

• Hope you're finding some great inspiration and wonderful designs to get your creativity jump-started!  You can find the newest stamp sets and lots of wonderful accessories in Gina's Store.  And then join us on Stamp TV for the challenges and surprises and crafty videos galore!!!

A quick card to share that I made using the Card Patterns 125 sketch.  I wanted to keep it more simple and combined it with Suzanne's Mix It Up Monday challenge ~ Monochromatics on Stamp TV.  I used A Year of Flowers, Pressed Flowers and the sentiment is from Stenciled Spring.

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

Pressed Flowers SG13

When I saw this sketch I thought some flowers lined up would be perfect and what better set than the new Pressed Flowers (which by the way goes perfectly with A Year of Flowers). I love two-step stamping and stamped the flowers first in Pretty in Pink ink and the outline using Memento Dandelion. The center of each flower was just perfect for some buttons so threaded with some pale pink organdy ribbon, tied in a knot and adhered with a glue dot. I used the GKD colors Innocent Pink, White and Lemon Drop for this card and the patterned paper is more of that gorgeous Webster's Pages.

We sure would like it if you played along. Here is the sketch:
