Gina K Inspiration Hop Day 1: Holiday Basket & Under the Weather

Welcome to our first day of inspiration hops for our new release!  I hope you made it to the fun party last night & had a good time shopping for all the latest stuff!

  For my first card, I used Melanie’s new set Holiday Basket, which features a beautiful wicker basket and some of her famous blooms from A Year of Flowers in miniature size to fit inside, as well as a few sentiments. This card was such fun to make and color. I used a swatch of fabric from my stash as a basket liner. Then I layered the flowers over the basket and put some crystal lacquer all over them. I can’t wait to make some Christmas cards with the poinsettias inside!

My next card uses Rupa’s set called Under the Weather for you to send cards to your friends and family to cheer them up.  I made this card to send to AJ who is fighting Breast Cancer right now, and taking a break from designing on the team. I hope this will bring a smile to her face. She has been missed and is in everyone’s prayers for a full recovery!

As you hop through the designer’s blogs, make sure you leave comments on each one for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice valued up to $24.95! We will randomly choose two winners so the more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win. Gina K will announce the winners on her blog.
Be sure to check out StampTV each week Monday and Friday we have challenges posted where you can win MORE free stamps!!
