Simply Fabulous

Hello my friends! Hope you are having a great day. Sorry for the lack of post lately. I don't want to bother you with my stuff, but I am having really and ugly back problems, not much stamping time for me and in addition of that 2 weeks ago I feel down and my poor back is worse. Please if you pray, keep me in your prayers.

Anyway, today after doing a quick trip for the blogosphere and I found one of the cute challenges over at Moxi Fab World: The Vertical Sketch Challenge and since I had this card already made, I just decided to write a quick post and show you this pretty card.


As you can see this card is very simple and super fabulous!! Sentiment buttons and Cardstocks are from Gina K. Designs, the paper is from Cosmo Cricket: Material Girl Collection.


Hope you like it!
Have a great day!

Anyways, today I am hosting a challenge over at StampTV and I hope you can play along too! The challenge is all about school, anything school related.

This is the card I made for Mix it Up Monday Challenge.

Hello my friends and welcome to another Gina K. Design Team Blog Hop! This time we are doing a Double Take!!  Members of Gina K.'s Design Team have come together to host a hop where we will show you how to make cards using the same products and stamp images to create two very different cards.

If you came from Jennie's blog, you're at the right place. If not make sure to head over to StampTV where you will find a list of all those participating in today's hop.

Same products I used for my cards:  Ivory Cardstock, the fence is from Heartfelt Set and the pumpkins and  sentiment  are from the new StampTV kit: Falling for You, the patterned paper is Falling for you (StampTV Kit), Crystal Lacquer, sewing stitches, seam binding ribbon, Copic Markers.

The embossing folder is not the same in both cards, BUT they come from the same package of embossing folder borders :) also a little difference is that I used Fleur de Lis Dies on my square card.
