Welcome to Day 1 previews for Gina K. Designs! I bet y’all have been chomping at the bit since our release was delayed about a week, huh? Well I’m sure you will agree that it was worth the wait when you see what is in store! First up is a stamp set by Melanie called Spring Basket which will appeal to everyone just waiting with bated breath for Spring to arrive since this Winter has been so brutal! I used the basket image along with some mini size tulips and lilies like the larger counterparts from A Year of Flowers! I finally grabbed took my Spellbinders Grand Calibur out of the box to use it on this card which I got for Christmas (I know, I am so bad!) I used the largest square scallop, scored in half to make my card that is 3 1/2” x 7” (not including the flower overhang).
Next up is another set by Melanie called Basket Blessings, which I’m sure you will fall head over heels with because it’s full of more things to put IN the Spring Basket! For my card, I used this week’s sketch challenge by Gina K! I had a lot of fun coloring this image and making this card.
Here are links to everyone who has previews to share with you today and I’m sure you will be dazzled with it all! Be sure to leave a comment on ALL the designer’s blogs to have your chance at winning the stamp sets, because Gina K. will choose random winners from all the comments!
Also – mark your calendars because Thursday, Feb 17th 7:00-10:00 central time at StampTV we will have our release party with designer challenges, contest questions, more samples, stamp set reveals and fun chat!!
