Give Thanks.

Hello my friends. Hope you are having a great day. I have a Pumpkin card I made last few weeks ago and never posted here. I haven't stamped in a week {insert sad face}, I have injured my back, I lifted up very heavy weight ( just moving tools in the garage) I didn't think those tools were so heavy. So, I have done pretty much nothing, DH was a big helper as well as my DD. Today, I have stamped for a short time, just finishing some deadline projects and now I want to share this Pumpkin card with you.
I got the instructions and patterns from A year in Cards-September 2009 by Kristina Werner. I stamped the sentiment using SU In the Loop Alphabet (retired).


I hope you like it.
Have a great day!

Thanks so much to all of you who have sent Cards for Bekah. She loves all the cards!! I will post the Candy Prize picture tomorrow.

Hello my friends and welcome to another Gina K.Designs Blog Hop, this time showcasing Theresa Momber newest set "A Very Merry Christmas"
For tonight's blog hop I have created 3 cards (not coloring required:) and I hope you like them.

Peace, Love & Joy: I started my card base with Pure Luxury White CS, then I trimmed a smaller piece on Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus CS and a piece of Vintage Holly Digital Paper. I stitched them together. Next I stamped the image on a piece of Pure Luxury White CS in Clear Embossing Ink and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing powder. I sponged the border with Gold Ink and added some paper piercing around. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and I also sponged the borders with same color. I added some Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and overlapped a piece of the new Holiday Ribbon. A couple of red dew drops on one of each corner and this card is ready to be sent.


Peace & Blessing: For this card I started my card base with a piece of Pure Luxury White CS, then I added a smaller piece of Cranberry Tart and a piece of Vintage Holly Digital Paper. I cut a Note Shape in Pure Luxury Cranberry Tart CS and then trimmed it and adhered it on top. I added some faux stitches using a Uni-ball Signo White Pen. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Sweet Plum, borders were sponged with Plum Craft and Dark Pink Ink. I added around the new Pure Luxury Gold-lined White Organdy Ribbon and a bow.


Hallelujah!: A very white card. I used a piece ofPure Luxury White CS as my card base. A piece of White CS was dry embossed using my Cuttlebug Machine. The image was heat embossed using Gold Embossing powder, borders were punched and a piece of Pure Luxury Gold CS was added. As a final touch I added some White Satin Ribbon and overlapped a piece of Pure Luxury Gold-lined White Organdy Ribbon.

Hip to be Square Blog Hop

Welcome to another Gina K. Designs Blog Hop!! Tonight we are showcasing Hip to be Square designed by Melanie Muenchinger. I have created 3 cards to show you tonight. Let's get started.

You're a Star : I started my card with a piece of Pacific Point CS. I stamped the big square, then I cut 1 1/2 square on White CS and sponged them with Memento Tangelo Ink. Next I stamped the 1 1/4 square border image onto Bashful Blue with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, then I stamped stars randomly using Memento Desert Sand Ink. I zig zag stitched both pieces. I cut a couples of stars using my Cricut machine, onto the Pacific Point CS I stamped the Star Image using White Craft Ink, after that I took my White Uniball Pen and I made little lines. On the center I added a White Pearl.
Inside Card: I stamped the sentiment "You're a Star" using Memento Tangelo Ink, I sponged the borders with the same ink color and also added some stamped stars at the bottom.

Ink: Memento Desert Sand, Tangelo and Rich Cocoa
Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon (Offray), White Pearl (Kaiser Crafts).
Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, Cricut Machine, Sponges, stamp-a-ma-jig, Dimensionals.


Very Merry Ornament/Gift Tag: First I created this as an ornament, but then I realized it could perfectly work as a Gift Tag too. I started with a piece of Pure Luxury All Spruced Up CS, using my Colluzle I cut a 3 1/2 circle diameter, then using one smaller size I cut a piece of Vintage Holly Digital Paper by Emily Giovanni. Then I stamped the cute snowman face using Stazon Black Ink, for the nose I used Memento Tangelo Ink and for the hat Rich Cocoa Ink as well for the sentiment. On top, I made a bow with the new Pure Luxury White Organdy Ribbon and finally as a hanger I used a piece of Pure Luxury Gold Cording.
Inside it has a piece of blank Pure Luxury White CS.

Hello baby! : I have a friend who is expecting and she doesn't know the sex of her baby yet, I hope it is a girl, this would be perfect for her! Anyway, I started my bib card with a piece of Pure Luxury Rocket Red CS (I cut the bib shape using a Coluzzle Cutting System). I added a piece of DP from SU and then I added some stitches around. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red Ink onto Pure Luxury White CS, then I added a piece of Pure Luxury Rocket Red and using my mini scallop scissors I cut around the oval. As a final touch I added some of the new Red Dot Holiday Ribbon and a couple of the new red buttons from Holiday Button Collection. Using my big scallop scissors I cut around the bib and added some Liquid Pearls.
Inside the card I added a piece of Pure Luxury White CS and keep it blank.

Fall Leaves

Hello my friends and Happy Monday. Are you enjoying your Fall season? Here in the NW, I think Fall has decided not to come and just bring Winter instead. It is really cold here, we had 20F last night!!brrrr.
Anyway, because I think we are skipping Fall, I decided to make a Fall card with pretty leaves.
I started my card my a piece of Kraft CS and folded in half. Then I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie CS into a Note Shape. Then I put this piece through the Cutlebug machine using Mesh Embossing Folder. Then I stamped the leaves from SHB-01 by smARTworks in Memento Tangelo, Memento Desert Sand and SU Crushed Curry, then I cut out the leaves and sponged the borders with Memento Rich Cocoa. Finally I added the leaves onto my card and some Gold thread. As a touch, using my Uni ball Signo White Pen I added some Faux Stitches.
Remember to submit your Fall cards in our new smARtworks blog Challenge: smART-word Challenge

Hope you like my card and have a great and warm day :)
Many blessing to you all.

PS: Don't forget about Cards for Bekah. She would love to receive a card from you.
