Hey There Cowboy!

Howdy! 

Hope ya'll are having a great weekend! It's been stormy/rainy all day here, so I've been playing with stamps and watching sports all day ~ it's been so nice to have a weekend with no plans for a change! 

Gina K has a new stamp illustrator, Theresa! Ya'll gotta go check her blog too to see what she's doing with her newest set Out West! It's an awsome set! Just last week, I was looking at some western-themed sets on another site, and then this set came out, I'm SO GLAD I waited! The sentiments and images are great! You can make a lot of masculine cards with this set! 

Anyhow, this is the first card I have made with this set, I made six of them for Kate's Western Themed Swap. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black on Gina K Luxury 80lb White Paper, then colored it in with Koh-I-Noor Pencils and Gina K OMS. The DSP is retired from SU (I can't find the catty it was in, I'll add the name of it later if I find it) My main colors used were Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, and Sage Shadow. I also used 5/8" Chocolate Gross Grain, and SU Hodgepodge Hardware. 

Have a super night! :)

More Wee Tees

Here are a few more cards I made for the Gina K Release Party that was tonight on SCS (still going on) LOL! 

Gina K Sneak Peek Day Three

Hello! 

Here is another sneak peek from Melanie's new set "Little Tees" . This time I made a little baby shower announcement using the SU Love Notes Cards. The front of the card is above, the bottom of the card is below. the size of the card is 3.75" X 2.75". I think I will be making a few more of these to hand out to family & friends.  The little onesie image was stamped with Stazon Timber Brown on Pink Pirouette and cut out. I then stamped the image again on DP and cut out the individual pieces and layered on top of the Pink Pirouette image. I colored in the "hems" with Close To Cocoa SU Marker. 

Thanks for looking!

REMINDER:

Don't forget to come join this week's Gina K Designs Release Party on SCS on Thursday evening from 7:00-10:00 CST! In addition to this must-have set, there are oodles of other sets that are being released this month! You will want to stop in and see the sneak peeks for those too! 

Gina K Sneak Peek ~ Day Two

Here is another sneak peek @ Melanie's Wee-Tees! Isn't the choo-choo train adorable? The onesie image was stamped on 80lb Gina K Luxury White, as well as the Train/sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black. I then sponged over the image with Bashful Blue ink, colored in the train and "hems" with SU Markers, and cut the image out.  I thought the sponging would work well, how often to you see a perfect colored tee in a baby drawer? They wear them so often they just fade out! LOL! The oval layers were created with Nestabilities (Petite Ovals/Scallops). The "You're 2" sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy. The word "You're" is from one of Melanie's other sets "Tee Talk".

I'll be back tomorrow with another project (and more of my little niece Tavi!).

Gina K Sneak Peek!

Hello! 

Awhile ago, Melanie Muenchinger contacted me and asked me if I wanted a sneek peek at her latest release for Gina K Designs. I was so excited I could hardly bear to keep this "secret". Well the wait is over and I can finally share "Wee Tees" with you which will be released this Thursday at Gina K Designs This set is SOOOOO adorable! I totally love Melanie's stamps sets, and this one is NO exception. It's gonna be one of my favorites for sure. I was even MORE THRILLED (if that's possible) that she asked if I would participate in today's Gina K Blog Hop! So here I am with my scrapbook page, which is 8X8. I totally love these little baby onesies. they are just so cute, and the sentiments included on the set are even cuter! Plus, there are tons of other images from Melanie's other sets you can use with this set for even more creativity. 

See the binky on the right onesie? That's From Hip Hop Accessories. How cute is that? All of the other stamped images on this scrapbook page are in the new set. The pattern paper is from DCWV Nana's Kitchen Baby Girl Stack. For the clothesline, I put brads through the onesies, and then wrapped the Twine around each brad. I had this idea immediately after I saw this set! 

Oh, and the cute little girl on the page is my adorable niece Tavi Such a cutie huh? I can tell you, I'm gonna be using this set A LOT for her scrapbook pages!

A Little Update...

Good Evening, 

Just a little update, I haven't been posting much this week (oops!) Seems I've gotten side-tracked by some "projects" this week, and then over the weekend I was in Chicago for a baseball game (that time of year - yeah!) 

I'll be by tomorrow (actually in 5 hours) with some of the "projects" I have been working on, so please stop by again and visit tomorrow!  I'll have a few posts this week that I can't wait to share with you! 

Have a super evening!

Emboss Resist

Good evening! 

Quick post tonight, this card was made for Gina's Technique Challenge over on StampTV, which is Embossing Resist. I don't do this technique very often but it's a great technique. 

I stamped the flower image from Gina K's Comfort & Peace Stamp Set on Gina K Luxury 120lb white paper (I like to use the 120 lb weight for any embossing techniques). I used Versamark for the ink. I then covered the inked image with SU White Embossing Powder, tapped off excess, and heat set it. It's a really shimmery white, although it's hard to see in the photo. After I was done heat-setting, I sponged over and around the image with Regal Rose Ink. The pattern paper is from Nana's Kitchen Baby Girl DCWV 12X12 stack. I love DCWV paper, right now it seems to be all I'm buying!

Have a super night! Hugs ~ LJ
