A Year of Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Welcome to A Year of Flowers Blog Hop!

The inspiration for today's hop came from Melanie Muenchinger's new book called, A Year of Flowers.

As you turn through the pages of this beautiful book, you will find inspirational projects, step-by-step techniques and gorgeous layouts to keep you inspired all year long.

Along with the fabulous stamp set, A Year of Flowers, the techniques and layouts in this book can also be used with many of the other floral sets that Melanie has created to coordinate with A Year of Flowers.

One of my favorite sets aside from A Year of Flowers is Pressed Flowers. This set has the same images as A Year of Flowers however, they are solid chunky images which allows for all kinds of fun techniques. And, if you have both A Year of Flowers and Pressed Flowers, you can make some amazing two-step stamping projects by using them together.

My project today is loosely based on one of the layouts and techniques from the book but I made mine using Pressed Flowers and the Rock and Roll technique.

This technique is SO much fun and Pressed Flowers is the perfect stamp for it!

Today on StampTV, I have posted a video featuring the Rock and Roll technique so you can see exactly how to achieve the look you see in the flowers above.

New Release Blog Hop- Day 2

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Today, the design team has put together another fun blog hop featuring two more brand new sets released on Tuesday night.

Whimsical Spring

The new stamp set Whimsical Spring by Theresa Momber contains gorgeous images the beg to be colored. But there is also a fun two-step stamping sprig of leaves that I adore. I love being able to stamp in color and then stamp the line art detail on top. These leaves make a soft subtle background or a vibrant focal area. This set has everything you need to start your spring stamping projects.

Girl Talk

I LOVE the new stamp set by Tami Mayberry- Girl Talk. These sassy sayings are just my style. I have a couple of them up on my refrigerator already! This set is perfect for cute cards, gifts and so much more. All of you best girlfriends will get a chuckle when they receive cards made with this one!

All of these new sets are now available at www.ginakdesigns.com under the What's New tab.

And in case you missed our release party presentation video, you can watch techniques featuring these stamp sets by clicking here: Release Party Presentation Video

Check out the fabulous projects the design team has come up with using these new sets. And as you hop along, make sure you leave a comment on each of the blogs along the way. On Monday, we will be announcing randomly chosen winners from all of the blog comments who will each win a grab bag full of deeply etched, precut Gina K. Designs stamps.

New release blog hop- Day 1

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

We had so much fun at our release party last night! For those of you who joined us, you know how fast and furious our party chat thread was moving! I am SURE I missed a ton of questions so I will take some time this week to reread the thread to see what I missed. :)

Today, the design team has put together the first of three blog hops featuring the new stamp sets and patterned papers released last night.

Stately Flowers 3

Melanie Muenchinger's newest addition to her state flowers series is a joy to stamp with. In the Release Party Presentation Video, I show you the way I like to color the Forget-me-Not flower in this gorgeous set. You will love the huge images and fabulous greetings. And although they are so much fun to color, they also look stunning embossed in gold or silver. Matched with the new Wisteria Lane Patterned Paper Pack, the purples in this card make you feel ready for spring!

Mehndi Wishes

Rupa Shevde's newest stamp set, Mehndi Wishes, takes this gorgeous Indian style art and turns it into a uniquely fun stamp set for crafters like us. You will love the beautiful images that work as both focal images and decorative backgrounds. And the greetings are a must have for your collection. In my sample, I use the flower image as a background and follow the lines with a Stardust pen to create sparkle and shine. And the greeting I chose for this card creates a feeling of encouragement and peace. (I'll be making a few refrigerator magnets and desktop things with this greeting because it serves as such a positive reminder.)

Introducing Pure Luxury Patterned Paper Packs

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:13:00 +0000

Exciting News!

Manufacturing our own line of designer papers in Pure Luxury card stock colors has always been a dream of mine. So last December, we did something BIG! We invested in our own printing and cutting equipment. This experience has been amazing and we are so excited to introduce our first three 6" X 6" Pure Luxury Patterned Paper Packs manufactured by Gina K. Designs!

Introducing Red Carpet

Red Carpet is full of fun bright graphic patterns that set a happy tone for any card project. Perfect for pattern mixing, these papers work great for sketch challenges and adding coordinating panels to your cards.

This paper pack coordinates with Gina K. Designs Red Hot, Ocean Mist, Lemon Drop and Chocolate Brown card stock. Look for Pure Luxury Card Stock Assortment packs to be released along with these patterned paper packs on Tuesday night!

Introducing Casual Friday

Casual Friday works great for any card design where a little bit of warm texture is required. Use these gorgeous papers to "quilt" beautiful backgrounds, to create masculine backdrops or use them for paper piecing to create warm fabric looks on any line art image.

This paper pack coordinates with Gina K. Designs In the Navy, Tan Leather, Smokey Slate and Chocolate Brown along with many other Pure Luxury colors too!

Introducing Wisteria Lane

Wisteria Lane brings to mind beautiful springtime gardens in these soft elegant colors. This collection is the perfect backdrop for flowers, Mother's Day, Easter and more. The graphic soft green, yellow and purple patterns are the perfect background for a new baby card or celebrating spring.

This collection coordinates with Gina K. Designs Creme de Menthe, Vibrant Violet, Fresh Asparagus and Chocolate Brown.

--------------

The Pure Luxury Difference

When you first feel our Patterned Paper, you will quickly realize why we put our Pure Luxury label on it. These papers are light enough to eliminate bulk and extra postage while feeling silky smooth with a slight sheen that you will love! We shopped for the perfect paper to print on that feels like Pure Luxury- just like our high quality card stock.

Our papers comes in a plastic bag so you can keep your scraps tucked away inside. Each pack contains 24 sheets of 6" X 6" patterned paper. There are eight patterns in each collection and you will receive 3 of each pattern so you can create multiple cards and gift sets without running out too quickly.

And because these papers are manufactured in house, we won't run out so you will always be able to get the stock you need to create beautiful projects.

These Pure Luxury Paper Packs retail for $5.95.

We already have our next collections in the works and we hope you love them as much as we do. Coordinating stamps and patterned paper packs are in the works as well!

Stay tuned tomorrow for the first sneak peek of 5 brand new stamp sets that you will adore- all being released this coming Tueday night at 7:00 PM central time.

More to come~

Hugs,

No StampTV Videos this week? But why?

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:32:00 +0000

Hello StampTV Friends,

I know many of you were expecting a new video today, however, will not be posting a new one this week.

Here is why.

My daughter Rina qualified for a big swim meet in Minneapolis that was held last weekend. She was very excited about it. She was scheduled to swim 8 events and was seeded very high in all of them. (She was one of the top eight fastest kids in her age group in most of the events and was really trying to get a high point award.)

(Rina and Teddi)

Friday night, she had a FABULOUS night! She took second place in the 400 IM and the 1000 Free. Those are long, hard events that require lots of endurance and she really did great! She swam two new personal records and two new team records.

(Rina, making the timers and officials laugh when they announced her name at finals. She's so relaxed up there. And what a ham!)

Saturday morning, she was SO excited to swim. Her first event was the 200 backstroke. She took 4th place in prelims and had a chance of swimmer to a higher spot in finals that night. After prelims were over, we had a few hours for lunch, an ice bath and a nap. Thank goodness I didn't have to do the ice bath part! ;) We went out for lunch and Tom and Rina split some pasta and a salad.

We went back to finals that evening and, although Rina did swim a new best time, she dropped down to 5th place. She had two "not so Rina" swims after that and then went to the locker room to change. She never came up. We waited and waited and finally I texted her because they were closing the pool. She texted back that she was laying down because she felt like she was going to pass out.

(Rina's two second place medals and a fifth place medal)

When she finally came up, we headed back to the hotel for the team dinner. She didn't eat a thing and said she needed to go to bed. Again, not like Rina. She LOVES the social part of the team. I gave her the hotel room key and shortly after she left- she texted me that she got sick.

Not too long after that, the same things happened to Tom. We determined that they both got food poisoning from the meal they shared. (I have the worst immune system in the family with my diabetes and I still feel GREAT! It had to be the food.) The timing was perfect for food poisoning and they shared a meal. Tom had food poisoning in the past. He said it was exactly the same. Plus, they didn't have any other flu-like symptoms.

Today, they are both still in bed. The only time they left the bed was to get into the car to come home on Monday afternoon and then got back in their own beds at home. A sad ending to a great swim meet but there will be so many more.

Needless to say, my "tech guy" is totally out of commission and will not be working all of the magic dials this week to provide you with a new video. Instead, we welcome you to watch some of our past videos and we will be back next week with new videos for your viewing and learning pleasure.

We are so very sorry for the delay, however, we have learned that sometimes life forces you to take a little break whether you want to or not.

We appreciate you all and we know you understand. But we wanted to share the story with you since you count on us to be there each week with something fun and new AND you are like family to us.

So stay healthy and safe and make it a great week.

We may even run a little special! Stay tuned tomorrow....

Hugs,
Gina K.

a new me.

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:12:00 +0000

A new year.
A chance to try again. A chance to get it right.

I don't know what it is about the turning of that calendar page but it always makes me stop and reflect about the past year. And every year, I feel the same way. I think, "I'm glad that year is over, I hope this one will be better."

Better? Better how?

In 2011, everything was going so well in my life. My marriage was great, my kids were happy and successful. We were all healthy. My business was a dream come true and I got to share that dream everyday with the man I loved. All four of us were living our dreams and were all so close to each other. We shared everything.

So why was I glad to see 2011 go? And why was I seaching for better?

I finally realized how I had been letting other people affect me. I learned that the number one reason that some people won't let you in is not because you are a failure, but rather because you are a success.

Jealousy does weird things to people. And the sooner you realize that, the sooner you will see everything much more clearly. And the sooner you can stop taking it personally.

It's a new year. It's time to stop living for the acceptance of others and to start accepting yourself for the wonderfully unique person you are. It's very freeing. It actually allows you to be more successful because you are no longer afraid of the consequences of your success.

My mantra for 2012 is:
"How others treat me is their path. How I respond is mine."

I'm glad 2011 is behind me and I really do hope 2012 is better- not in the blessings that I receive, but rather in the way that I view them.

XOXO
Gina K.

Inspiration Blog Hop- Day 1

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:28:00 +0000

Last night at StampTV, we had our release party and it was hopping! We had so much fun with all of you who attended. For those of you who didn't make it, all of the fun is still going strong on the main page at www.stamptv.com.

Today, the design team has put together a fabulous blog hop featuring two of the new stamp sets released last night.

Melanie Muenchinger has added a new set to her Stately Flowers series called Stately Flowers 2. This set coordinates with her Make a Statement and Stately Flowers 1 stamp sets. These images and greetings make elegant cards and can be colored with markers and pencils or, you can make a clean and simple embossed card like I did in our release party presentation video. To watch the video, visit the main page at www.StampTV.com. Here is a little peek of the finished card.

The team is also showcasing the new set by Theresa Momber called Mountain Wilderness. Theresa's beautiful hand drawn nature images can be used to create beautiful scenes or you can use the images independently like I did in the card project featured in last night's presentation.

This project is a fun one to make because it doubles as a gift. The focal image is a bookmark that is held to the front of the card with a magnet. This project is also featured in the presentation video at www.StampTV.com.

Here is a better look at both of these new stamp sets.

So sorry about the missing Amazon ad. You will have to click over to my blog to see it OR you can visit the home page at www.stamptv.com and you will find it right under the big TV with the release party invitation.

Thanks for your patience with me today. My fingers are working at a different rate of speed than my brain... need coffee...

Hugs,
Gina K.

Inspirational Blog Hop Day 3

noreply@blogger.com (Gina K.) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:31:00 +0000

Welcome to our final Blog Hop day. Today we are featuring the new set by Tami Mayberry called You Go Girl! and the new One free with 3, Pleasant Plurals.

You Go Girl! is such a great set for sending cards of encouragement in a fun whimsical way. Whether a friend has been diagnosed with cancer or you just want to tell someone to just be themselves and they will do great, this set is for you.

I did a cute pink version of this card for today's StampTV Video that shows you how to make the two color flourish and how to color her outfit. To watch it, click here: You Go Girl! Card Project

The other set being featured today is our new One free with 3, Pleasant Plurals.

I have had many requests in the past to do a stamp set that features greetings for couples and families.

This set can work alone or with any greeting set you have by adding an ending to another greeting. For example, if you have a greeting stamp that says, "Congratulations on your Graduation" you can add "from all of us" to the end. So this set will expand many of the sets you already have in your collection.

And of course, if you just want to send a card from you, leave off the ending and you are ready to go.

To see all of the amazing projects by the design team, start below and remember to comment on as many blogs as you can. On Wednesday, our moderators will draw two randomly chosen winners who will each win a grab bag of at least a dozen Gina K. Designs stamps!

Start hopping here:

Enjoy the blog hop and stop by StampTV tomorrow to find all of the winners from this week's contests!

Make it a great day,

Gina K.
