Preview Party Begins! Bring on the Blog candy!
I'm always so excited when we have a new release right around the corner!
We had planned to only release new stamps every other month but we realized that with Easter and Mother's Day, we would have to release those items with plenty of time for shipping and project making. But that just means more fun stuff to play with so I'm actually pretty happy about it! I love new stamps. And this month's release is fabulous!
Tonight, I am going to show you the only Gina K. set in the bunch! And, it's the one you get free when you purchase any three stamp sets. I LOVE this set. In fact, I got a few emails from my Design Team telling me they can't believe this one is actually free!
This set is called "Spring blooms." I designed this set to be perfect for many of the women in your life. If comes with lots of words and three beautiful long stemmed flowers. You can use this set for Mother's Day, of course, but also for so much more.
Here is a picture of the full stamp set so you can begin to think about all of the fabulous cards you'll be making when you get this one for FREE! LOL!
Don't you love the "in-law" stamp! You can use your stamp-a-ma-jig to line it all up or just line it up on your acrylic block and stamp away! I really like the word "hope" too. I think that can be used for sympathy, illness, and encouragement as well as Easter. I like to have stamps that are versatile.
As you can see, I stamped the word "Mom" on one of the Gina K. Designs Bling & Dazzle Plastic tags. The tags are still in stock and many of these words fit those tags really well. (We're still waiting for our shipment of flower outlines. But they should be back in stock soon too.)
Do you like that background paper?
Do you know you have tons of that laying around your house right now?
I love to go to Goodwill and look around. I can always find something cool to embellish, something fun to store stamp supplies in or something to use for stamping in some cool way. This trip was no exception. I was looking at books. (I love to read.) And I was looking at all the novels and this one caught my eye. So I bought it. Then, I realized I already had it. So, I used it to make some patterned paper.
I read the whole page to make sure there wasn't anything inappropriate for all eyes to see and I tore it out of the book. I trimmed it to 3 3/4" X 5".
Then, I crumpled it all up in a ball.
I know, so far you're thinking, "I can do this!" LOL!
Then, I flattened it out again. I used some Tim Holtz distress ink by Ranger. The color is called "Old Paper." Sounds about right... (If you don't have this, you can use any dye ink. SU creamy caramel works well too.)
I used a direct to-paper-technique where I just lightly rubber the ink pad directly over the paper so the ink grabbed mostly on the raised crumpled edges.
When I finished, it looked like this. (The photo is actually a little dark- it's a bit lighter in real life.)
Then, to soften it a bit, I used a brayer and rolled on some Palette Ink in the color "Haystack." (SU Sahara Sand would work too or any other paler tan of lighter brown dye ink you have in your stash.)
And that's it! Here is a closer view where you can see the background paper and focal image.
I colored my rose with Copics and added some gold cording to make an elegant embellishment.
So what do you think of our free stamp set this month?
Drop a comment here and I'll pick a winner who will win a free stamp set of their choice from our new release!
I'll post the winner tomorrow evening when I post Preview Day 2! AND, tomorrow, you are going to meet our newest illustrator, Rupa Shevde. You are going to LOVE her style!
See you tomorrow evening!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Oh my goodness!!! It is gorgeous,as if that will be the free set,guess i'm going to have to save my money for 3 sets,cause I want that one too,and hey if it's free when you buy 3 that's a steal of a deal!!! Your card is beautiful btw,I'm gonna try that technique with the book sheet,that's really neat! Thanks for all your ideas Gina!!!
Reply to this
I love it!!!! The set is beautiful and the word choices are wonderful!!! I also LOVE the card!!! I would never have thought to use book pages!!!!
Reply to this
You know Gina, I have to tell you, something I love about your tutorials, and your blog posts. You use products, but you always give alternatives. Like if we don't have that particular ink, you say, "this one will work". It helps so much to know that we don't *have* to go out and buy that exact product to achieve the results similar to yours. It seems you are always looking out for our money, not making us buy things we don't need if we have something that would work instead.. Like the One *step* can tutorial. I love that, even though I have nestabilites, it makes the new stampers feel like they don't have to have all the *new* things to be part of the pack..LOL.
Ok enough babbling, just wanted you to know it! Love this new set.

I love the script! Great flowers! I love the leaves and how they were drawn!

Oh, I love the set! It could make some very elegant cards as well as notecards (I'm thinking ahead to thank you cards that I give to the teachers at the end of the year -- usually I've used Both Ways Blossoms from SU, but this is a very nice change!).

Great set! I love all the sentiments...
Love the background paper too!

I love the new stamp set! I may just have to put a order in to get it if I am not the lucky winner. I also love the use of a page as background paper, if only I could bring myself to tear a page out of a book!
Reply to this
Hi Gina, How clever, using a page from a book for the background. I really have a problem tearing out a page, but it looks really worth doing. The stamp set is gorgeous too. I love flowers and the sayings are WOWS

Love the new set Gina. I know just what to do with it. Great easy background paper.

What a great idea to use the book pages for background paper. I love the distressed look. The images in this stamp set is stunning! The words are great as well.

Gina this is a fantastic set! I will find myself forced to purchase 3 sets *oh the horror!* just to get this one! I LOVE the "in-law" I happen to have the best mother-in-law ever and this will be great.

I love the stamp set!! I also love the 'faux aged paper' and how it really adds to your card. I definitely will need to do this!! Can't wait to see more!!

Love the flowers in the set & all the words - so versatile! Great idea for the background paper - - - - I'll have to try it with a magazine page - I just cringe at that thought of ripping a page out of a book - even if it is a duplicate. Anyway GREAT idea - can't wait to see the other new sets.
Reply to this
Beautiful set Gina! I love the "in-law", you can't get that anywhere else. Thanks for thinking outside of the box!
And as usual, another great tutorial. I have so many books that I should be busy for a long time making background paper
Reply to this
What a beautiful set! I love that it has "in-law" ...that is such a hard stamp to find! Definitely a must have. I love your idea for patterned paper too! Priceless! Thanks for the chance!
Reply to this
Wow Gina - you are so generous to give away this awesome set - I NEED a set with in-law in it - my MIL is always looking for cards for her five DIL and this would be so perfect!!! I love the page out of a book idea too - your creativity never ceases to amaze - thanks for sharing your amazing jaw-dropping ideas!!!!!

Love this stamp set....I especially love the FONT you used on this. Wow!

I've made my own patterned paper by copying fabric, but never a page from a book. Another great idea! I love the 3 flowers in the new set. Thanks for a chance to win one of your great sets.

Reply to this
Gina, your site is great! I've spent a lot of time here lately and love the new stamp set. I'm working on a book for my Grandma and she loved roses and the song The Rose (the Bette Midler one) was her favorite song. She passed away in my arms as I sang it to her 3 1/2 years ago and I'm now creating a book of memories for myself to write the stories of my childhood and all the precious moments that we shared together. This stamp would be beautiful to decorate the pages! The whole set is very versatile.

Hi Gina,

Thanks for sharing!

Love love this new set!! I really like the font on the words and the flowers of course. What a perfect size.
Great idea on the book page BG paper. When I was first reading the description I had to cringe at the thought of cutting up a book (ACK!!!) but the end result is soooo worth it that I am going to have to give it a try.
Reply to this
So so pretty! I had the pleasure of seeing it in person tonight when I stopped by the store - Hi Gina! I'd just like to say (as if we don't all know it already) that you are such a generous person. You rock!
Reply to this
Thanks so much for the info on the DP. I was looking at the first picture of the card and loved the stamp but then the paper behind it caught my eye and was wondering if it was a stamp also. I am definitely going to have to use this technique since I have so many books lying around my house (I love to read as well).
Thanks also for the chance to win some awesome stamps. I just love Gina K. stamps. I hope I win.

I could never desecrate a book unless it was already falling apart. I got goosebumps seeing the pages not bound up. Poor book. I once used old dictionery pages I found in someone's trash-but had to read them all first. They were french/english translations. gave tons of them away. but still can't stand to have one page fall out of my books (I have almost a library)

You can always print your sheet of print on a piece of copy paper to do this technique if you prefer not to use a book.

Gina,
How do you ever pick a winner from all the entries????
I've never seen a "in-law" stamp and the style of the writing is nice and feminine looking. The flowers will work for any occasion. It would be TERRIFIC to win so I could make a special card for my mother in-law. She really appreciates my handmade cards and saves all the card that I've made for her. Plus I'd get a chance to try out stamps not mounted on wood.
Have a good day

WOW! I thought when you crumbled up the paper it would not look good. But it looks great. Specially when you rolled another color ink on top of it.
This is a pretty set and the "in law" stamp is good too!

What a lovely card! I bought some old used books years ago intending to use pages as background and that's as far as I ever got with them. You've inspired me to go dig them out and use them! Thank you.

This is such an adorable set! I have a mom and a MIL that would love a card using this set! They both live 8 hours away from me, so cards are a wonderful way to keep in touch!
Reply to this
This stamp set is great! I am so happy to see all of the options for the cards - other than just MOTHER'S DAY. My mom and my MIL have both passed away and sometimes it makes for a lonely Mother's Day for me. However, with all of the other important women in our lives listed as options with your set, it makes this set even more versatile! Thanks for thinking of those of us without a living mom!

The words in your set really add to help personalize the card, and isn't that what it's all about? I also think your florals are very versatile, and will work for many many other types of cards too. Thanks for entering me into your generous contest. Also love your used book idea!
