Gina K Petite Geranium Hello

I find myself liking/loving more and more of Gina K Designs products.  This is the Petite Geranium stamp set.  The geranium was stamped on a stitched oval and colored with Copic markers.  The rest is layers of cardstock and one piece of patterned paper (green) from Gina K's Watercolor Floral paper pack.  

Thanks for visiting today.  Happy stamping Saturday.

Pretty Posy Thank You Gina K

I love these products from Gina K Designs.  I've used the Pretty Posy stamp set for the floral and the So Many Sentiments set for the sentiment on the front and on the inside.

The embossed layer is the Petite Flourish Embossing Folder and the pattern paper is from Gina K's Watercolor Floral paper pack.  

Thanks for stopping in today.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting today.

Kindergarten Graduation Card

 

My grandson graduated from kindergarten and this is the card I made for him.  I just love the Anita Jeram stamps from Colorado Craft Co.  I struggle with choosing the colors for the critters.  These guys were colored with Copics, die cut and layered on paper from Stampin Up onto a mini slimline card base.  He's six and although he liked his card he kept looking to see if there was something else (like $) in the card!  Fortunately there was a gift of colored pencils in the gift bag.  He was excited about those!


Thanks for visiting today.  Hope you have a good day.

Gina K Watercolor Spring Kit

 

I really liked this Watercolor Spring Card Kit from Gina K.  It sold out so fast I wasn't quick enough to get it when it was first released.  Due to many requests Gina K was able to re-release the kit the following month.  This is the first card I've made with the kit. Everything on the card is from the kit including the ink used to stencil  the lattice on the oval.  Flowers are from the ephemera pack and paper from the paper pack.  Sentiment is from the So Many Sentiments stamp set.  

I don't think I am a creative person.  But this time I got out the kit and starting playing without a thought to how or what I was going to do.  Normally I go to Pinterest for ideas but this time it was all me.  And I'm sure it's not a new design by any stretch.  I'm happy with how it came out.  Maybe I'll try this more often!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Foxy Friend Card

 

I placed an order with Art Impressions stamps and the cute little fox on my card was a freebee stamp that came along with my order.  He was colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut.  The large wreath is a retired Stampin Up stamp on a die cut circle and then layered onto a black die cut circle.  Embossing folder from Stampin Up and the sentiment from Altenew.    I knew if I didn't use him right away he would get lost in the pile on my desk.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.  It will be 92 here today in South Carolina.  Too hot for me!


Thanks for stopping by.

Playing with Colored Pencils

 

After watching Gina K's video using colored pencils I decided to bring them out to play.  There is no die for this image which is a retired flower image from Stampin Up.  So I had to do my best to fussy cut it.  On top of that I picked up the wrong paper stump to color with Gamsol.  I had not heard of Tortillions.  They were included in the kit of paper stumps I purchased on Amazon and they are hollow and made of paper as opposed to pulp for the regular stumps usually used for coloring.  It didn't turn out too bad (better than horrible as Gina and Tom would say).  I could go on about the mistakes in this card but.....here it is just the same.

Thanks for visiting today.
