Festive Frame

So enjoy a little time in your stamp room this weekend and add your project here! And don't forget to visit each of the links posted and leave them a comment too! What a fun way to share our Gina K. Designs projects, find some new fun bloggers, and get lots of inspiration along the way!

Calendar Bits and Pieces and more!
Just a Note- You must click through to my blog in order to view the videos. The videos will not show up in your email and may not show up on blog feeds or blog readers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't be more excited about tonight's special release of Tami Mayberry's newest stamp set- Calendar Bits and Pieces.
This jumbo size set is not only the perfect set to create calendars, but as you will see, you can use it to make cards, tags and so much more!
One of the things that Tami and I discussed during the development of this set was the fact that there was NO WAY that I wanted to stamp between 28 and 31 numbers on every month of the year. That would mean you would have to stamp 365 times just to make your basic calendar! No thanks.
Well, Tami and I figured out the perfect way to make that job super easy! Watch the videos below to learn more about this set and see how easy it is to stamp your calendar numbers using only two impressions for each month! It's really brilliant!
Calendar Bits and Pieces Part 1
Calendar Bits and Pieces Part 2
Now that you've had a chance to see how easy it is to create calendars, let me show you a few of the projects that I created using this fabulous new set.
I decided to show you the April page of the calendar I made because I LOVED the photo so much. I took this picture last year in the spring when we were on our cruise. This coming April, it will bring back all of those wonderful memories!
My next project is a note card.
I used the Calender Grid stamp to create the background and a few of the word and image stamps to create my focal image. Clean and simple!
Card details:
Pure Luxury Card Stock- Sweet Corn, Pumpkin Spice, Fresh Asparagus, White
Ribbon- Sweet Corn Stripe
Punches- Marvy Jumbo 3/4" and 1" circle punches
My next project is a bright and fun card to send for just about any occasion.
These clean and simple cards are so easy to make so you can make little stacks to give as gifts this holiday season.
And you'll be thrilled to know that this chunky little star works perfectly with the Marvy Jumbo Star punch.
Card details:
Pure Luxury Card Stock- Rocket Red, White
Stampin' Up Card Stock- Temping Turquoise
Marvy Jumbo Star punch
Next, I made a Christmas tag by using the little frame stamp that works perfectly with the Nestabilities Labels 1 dies.
I left the tag inside the die and sponged on some Desert Sand Memento ink. The sponged ink stayed inside the red stamped border. Then, I used the curved corner punch to make the red topper and some rhinestones and gold cording to finish it off.
And I made one last tag for Hanukkah.
I love all of these tiny images, and the font style that Tami used for this set is just adorable.
Here are the full image plates of both Calendar Bits and Pieces and the Calendar Grid stamp.
The Calendar Grid stamp is sold separately and is also available as a digital download. To learn more about the Calendar Grid options, watch the video above.
If you have trouble viewing the videos here on my blog, visit our YouTube Channel here- StampTV on YouTube.
To see the winner of the Nestabilities dies from my Giddy contest- click here
Both of these sets as well as the PDF version of the Calendar Grid image will be available for purchase tonight in our online store.
Are you ready for some more inspiration?
Stop by our Illustrator's blog - Tami Mayberry, for some projects using these fabulous new stamps.
The, visit these GinaK Design Team Member's blogs who are joining us in the preview tonight: Cat, Nina, Carolyn, Donna, Erika, Jessica, Lee, Lynn, Melanie, and Theresa

Have a great evening~
Hugs,

A calendar set with all the trimmings would be awesome! I'm crossing my fingers on that one and also on winning those nesties. Can't wait till Wednesday!
Congratulations! Send your shipping address and name of the prize you won to info@ginakdesigns.com and we'll ship it right out.
------------------------
On this beautiful Sunday, I was hiding in my studio working on two book projects, 4 magazine projects and two StampTV projects! And all along, I was giddy with excitement over a brand new release that is coming this Wednesday night at 10:00 PM.
Now, this is not your ordinary release with a release party and such. But rather a very special release with a new mega stamp set and addition, brought to you by Tami Mayberry. It's such an interesting set, that I will be doing a StampTV video on one of the main concepts in this set.
For those of you who know Tami's style, you know that she is the "queen of clean, simple and elegant." So when Tami proposed this idea to me, I instantly fell in love with it.
It's something you can use to create fabulous gifts, useful tools, cards, tags, invitations, 3-D projects and the set itself with make the most perfect gift for a newer stamper because it's so unbelievably complete!
Each time Iook at it, I slap myself in the head and say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Here is a sneak peek for you and a contest that could earn you a set of nestabilities that will work with this set!
This is only a tiny snippet of what's in this new stamp set. In fact, I tried to count all the stamps in this set and whenever I get close to 130 stamps or so, I totally lose count and have to start over.
So, take a look at this sneak peek and tell me what you think it represents.
On Wednesday night, the design team and I will be doing a blog hop featuring this new set and I will post the randomly chosen winner who will win a set of Nestabilities Labels One dies. (If you already have those, you can substitute. )
Come on, take a guess! I will see you on Wednesday night with the answer and so much more!
Hugs,

Center Stage Spotlight Team Blog Hop
Welcome to our very first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop!
Jessica Fick, our Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs has issued a challenge to all of our past and present team Center Stage Spotlight team members to make a Christmas card using one of these fun sketches:
Here is my card for this sketch challenge.
For my card, I used the Holiday Cheer StampTV kit. I embossed the trees and greeting using Stampendous fine detail embossing powder.
I love the scalloped element of Jessica's sketch. I would have never thought to run my strip of patterned paper over the scalloped circle and under the main focal image.
I chose the embellished version of the sketch but instead of two flowers, I used a small cluster of the Pure Luxury Neutral Buttons.
And remember, you don't always have to use thread to use buttons. Stick them on with glue dots and they make an adorable embellishment with very little work.
Card supplies: (All Supplies available at www.ginakdesigns.com)
Patterned paper- Cosmo Crickett Jolly by Golly
Card Stock- Pure Luxury White, Night of Navy
Embellishments- Pure Luxury Neutrals Button Assortment
Stamps- StampTV Kit- Holiday Cheer, Holiday Greetings
Other- Nestabilities, Stampendous Fine detail white embossing powder
This is a really fun sketch and one I will use over and over again.
