Euphoria!

When I first saw the Basic Grey Euphoria collection, I immediately thought of the Flamingos in Melanie Muenchinger's Cuddles & Hugs. The patterns in this pack remind me of Florida.



I decided to make a very simple card using a little bit of the new Basic Grey Euphoria fiber pack and some of the matching paper.

Again, I accented my embossed edges using the Metallic rub-on paste. That stuff rocks. I love how it just brings out that edge! It's subtle and it matches everything.

For my greeting, I combined two of the greeting stamps together to make my sentence.

Card details:
Stamps- Cuddles & Hugs
Paper- Stampin Up whisper white, Bazzill dark purple, Basic Grey Euphoria 6X6 paper pad
Ink- Brilliance graphite
Other- Nestabilities squares, Euphoria fibers, Metallic Rub-on paste, Copic markers, stickles glitter glue



I know I haven't been a very good blogger these last few days. Tom's parents arrived from Philadelphia on Saturday and they will be staying with us until next Sunday. (That means my house had to be cleaned from top to bottom to make a good daughter-in-law impression! LOL!)

The girls had a great swim meet this weekend but now they are both a bit under the weather. So that's been a little time consuming as well.

Back to stamping, I suppose you've noticed by now that I LOVE patterned paper. Let me ask you a question... would you like us to carry these types of 6 x 6 paper pads in our online store? How about the fibers and buttons to match? I'd like to hear what you think about that. I know a lot of you enjoy one-stop shopping and free shipping. Would you like to buy these types of items at Gina K. Designs?
Let me know what you think.

Hugs,
Gina K.

    I would LOVE to buy the 6x6 pads with matching embellies from your store!!! When I first discovered your store, I looked to see what kind of papers you carried, and was actually a little disappointed that there wasn't more of a selection... so, if you sell them, I will buy them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Ooh your card is so pretty. Yes, the colors from the new BG papers do go perfect with this stamp set.

      I am a huge fan of Basic Grey so I certainly would love it if you carried the 6x6 pads of paper.Oh and the fibers too.

      I hope you have a wonderful visit with your Mother-in-law and father-in-law.

    Yes, I buy them a LOT and I usually hold out for free shipping, if I can... so if you had them, they would be a great thing! I am less interested in the buttons and fibers (rarely buy them) but the pads I buy 2 or more of each!

    I love the 6 x 6 paper packs and everything by Basic Grey. I recently purchased some of their coordinating buttons and brads, too. I think it would be fabulous if you offered them on your site!!

    I would love the 6x6 paper, fibers, and buttons! I can't get enough of DP as well and I use it a lot! I have so much of it but I keep buying more. That is one thing you can never have too much of. It would be great to be able to buy paper, fibers, and buttons that all match.

    I love the BG papers, embellishments and fibers! I love to see the coordinating stuff all available at the same time - at the same place! Which is most times difficult to find! What a wonderful idea!

    Gorgeous card. I love the look of the metallic paste. I am not much for patterned paper, but I must say that Basic Grey that is all the rage is starting to tempt me.

    Just receive my first order of Gina K stamps today. Beautiful new rubbah. Can't wait to ink them up.

    Thanks for the great designs!

    Definitely add them to your already wonderful offering of products online! I hate to go to the LSS or box stores, find a great 6x6 paper pad - with no matching anything! Or great embellishments - no paper! Having it all in one place means having it all!!

    I like the patterned paper and would love 6x6 co-ordinating paper and you use it very effectively. However, some people have gone hog wild and their use is actually distracting from the focal point of the card.

    I have recently become addicted to DP and I love basic grey (and others) I have also discovered 6x6 is the perfect size for cards & I can afford to buy several pads as apposed to 1 - 12x12! I think it would be a great addition to the products you offer online!

    Hi Gina!

    Darling card, as usual! I would LOVE to see you carry 6 x 6 papers. I'm not a big fan of fibers but I do love buttons. However, if they all coordinated I might be apt to buy fibers too!

I also think it is great that you offer free shipping, and I do usually take advantage of that, so thank you for treating us so good! Even though I just got my order the other day, including this set, I look forward to the next release! Can you say addicted????

    Hi Gina, I love both the 6X6 or 8X8 paper packs. I make mostly cards and the smaller scale is great for this. Because I live in Canada and have to pay a lot for shipping, I need to shop where I can make a large order of a variety of items.-Nimue

    Hi Gina,
    Something completely not related to your post, but something I wanted to share with you. I have made it to the Top 20 in the Paper Crafts Magazine "Gallery Idol" contest. The card I made uses your stamp set designed by Carolyn. Here is the link: http://www.papercraftsmag.com/gallery/details.ihtml?idx=112007
    Thanks for such quality products, they are really a winner!!
    hugs,

    I know I'm a teeny bit late responding, but YES, please carry 6x6 patterned paper packs. I LOVE them but have trouble finding them sometimes. Basic Grey has them, and so does Memory Box and Making Memories and 7 Gypsies. It's the perfect size for us cardmakers.
