Preview Day 1- Flowers for Daisy
I always get so excited when we are ready to release new stamp sets! But when we do a release like this one, I am completely over the top. I could hardly contain myself at the CHA!
Yesterday, I asked you to tell me who inspires you. I loved reading your answers especially the ones where people mentioned the inspiration of a special friend. Friends are family we choose.
Not all that long ago, Asela Hopkins called me to discuss something that was very important to her. One of her close friends, Daisy, was and still is fighting a courageous battle with cancer. She wanted to do something. She wanted to somehow make a difference for Daisy. But what could she do? We discussed many possibilities and Asela decided that she wanted to draw a stamp set in honor of her friend who she loves dearly.
Flowers for Daisy
"Flowers for Daisy" is the newest stamp set by Asela Hopkins. It's a gorgeous set of beautiful daisy images and sayings. Each of the sayings were carefully chosen by Asela. Several of them are Daisy's favorite bible verses. These saying will make great cards of encouragement, friendship and love.
$4.00 of every retail set sold will go to the American Cancer Society until the end of August through a donation of part of the proceeds from both Asela Hopkins and Gina K. Designs.
Cancer has touched the lives of so many. Everyone knows someone who has suffered with cancer in some way. It's so hard to see the lives of family and friends get turned upside down with this horrible disease but you can help make a difference by purchasing this beautiful stamp set.

Asela and I have asked a few of our friends to help inspire you with their creativity.

Color it
I thought you might like to see the creation of this bookmark.
I began with the single daisy stamp from "Flowers for Daisy" along with one of my new favorite inks, Momento. This is the BEST ink for Copic Marker coloring. Marianne from Copic recommended it and I bought some. I absolutely loved it so I bought about 24 of their colors. You don't have to heat set it. I LOVE that!!! The color I used for this project is London Fog. I didn't want to go with black because I wanted it to stay softer.
I colored the petals with a pale yellow maker. I've added the color number to the photo to help you if you are trying to achieve the same look.
(Note: edited to add that all of the marker colors should begin with YR not VR. Please make a note of that if you print the tutorial or save it to use later.)
Keep in mind that I did not begin with white card stock. I used Stampin' Up card stock that is a natural color with a fleck in it. You won't get the true color of the marker like you would on white, but that's okay. I really wanted a softer look.
Then, using an orange, I added some depth to the petal. I haven't blended it yet. I just added a few lines coming from the flower center down each petal.
I added a peach color to the centers of the flowers.
If you look closely at the right side, you will see the unblended flowers. On the left side, you will see the top flower after I blended it. The way I blended the top left flower was by going back to the first pale yellow and going over the entire petal until every petal looked shaded. That smooths out the orange lines and makes them softer.
I did the same thing here with the centers. I went back over the entire thing with the peach color. It gives you lots of nice depth.
Now I couldn't spend the weekend with Tim Holtz and not distress everything I see, right? LOL! (I can't tell you how much I enjoyed his demonstrations all weekend. He is so talented.) I sponged on some Old Paper distress ink to the edges and the surface.
I stamped my greeting on some vellum paper that was cut to fit over the daisy images. I used Stazon ink in black.
I added some Basic Grey Fibers, then I tied through a punched hole. You can leave the book mark this way, or you can tear the edge and sponge along it. In my final shot, you can see I tore the edge and added an old key I found in a draw with more fibers. I love the look of the old keys. We have quite a few Tim Holtz keys coming soon.
This old key is cool because it belongs to a Master Lock and it says "MASTER" printed on it. The greeting reads, "My salvation and my honor depend on God: He is my mighty rock, my refuge." Psalms 62:7
I always think of God as my "Master" so the key has significant meaning to me.
I am really exited for you to see the entire set at the release party!

I think I'm going to cry. How precious of Asela to do this for Daisy! And how wonderful of you to do this for the ACS! Until about a year ago our closest family had been spared the pain of cancer. Then my father-in-law was diagnosed last summer and died in February. No one is immune. What a blessing this will be to those hurting from this horrid disease called cancer.
On a light note, I also might cry because no one has their samples up yet! LOL!

Gorgeous set---I'd love to win. ACS is a great charity.
Reply to this
I love this set. It would be great to use to make bookmarks for my women's bible study group. The verse makes it SO appropriate and wonderful.
Reply to this
Beautiful. And such a worthy cause. I wish they had had something like that going when my niece was fighting cancer. Unfortunately we lost her, but so many more are surviving now because of the causes that help research.
And of course we must get all the credit to our Lord God, our Master. He makes it all possible.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Reply to this
What a wonderful thing for Asela to do. I'm just one year out from breast cancer and know that you have to fight the good fight with a positive attitude. The daisy is just perfect and I know will mean a lot to her friend, Daisy! Also, thank you for the very nice coloring tutorial!

Gina -
As a colon cancer survivor, this set has deep meaning to me. When I read the story about Asela creating it for her friend, it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you are donating proceeds to ACS and this set will definitely be in my collection, one way or another!

I love seeing the new releases - and this one has really caught my attention. I love daisies and knowing a portion goes to ACS is even better.

Wow, I LOVE this set. The meaning behind it makes it even more beautiful. Cancer takes so many forms...both my parents suffer from a form of cancer and I lost my Grandmother a few years back to it. Cancer is such an unforgiving disease and I pray for each and everyone who's life has been touched by it in some way. Thank you Aslea for leaving your mark, thank you Gina for efforts and thank you to everyone who purchases this set! Katie

Another great cause to help support. I had two cousins die this year from cancer and a friend's 17 year old grandson was just recently diagnosed with leukemia. I will be saving my pennies so I can purchase this set.

I love this idea. There's too many people in the world (almost every person) is affected by cancer in some way (whether it's themselves, their families, or friends - loved ones) - I love the idea and going to a good cause. You rock, G.
Also, I love this blog - what you've done with it - adding more details ie: what colour/number the Copics markers you used, and showing before/after effects, perfect!

I absolutely love this bookmark! What a great set of stamps and for such a wonderful cause. This would make a fun tutorial to share with my friends for a "girl's night out".

Cancer is such a horrible disease that so many families, including my own, have to deal with.
I want to thank you and Asela for following what God has put on your hearts to do. I know that He will truly bless this venture more than any of us will ever see in this lifetime.

Not sure I understand the wording on the donation. $4.00 goes to ACS and more from both of you or part of $4 goes to ACS? First one makes sense, but the wording is a little confusing.

This is so beautiful. I really like the natural look of the daisy and I can never get enough Bible verse stamps. I think this is going to be one of those must-have sets for me, and I love that some of the proceeds go towards cancer research. I think everyone's life has been touched by someone they know who has or has had cancer. This is such a beautiful gesture by both you and Asela. Thank you.

Wow! I have been reading through blogs and have received mixed views on Copics. I really like the way you went step by step and you could actually visulaize how you went from start to finish. What a beautiful bookmark, keep up the great work.

As a cancer survior, I'm always looking for items that support the ACS and if it is stamping stuff, all the better since I'm really addicted to stamping. This set would be a winner and I love daises. Your bookmark is wonderful and I really like the instructions you give, very easy to follow.

My dear friend at work is battling breast cancer. We are nurses, and she is my inspiration in a world of illness and death. As we care for our patients, she has progressed from wearing her bandana on her bald head to having a sweet gray covering that we all have to cradle thruout the day. She still takes radiation treatments every day at three. She never complains and refuses to let us feel sorry for her. I've been looking for something to make for her, and this is it. Even if I don't win, thank you for making such an inspired stamp set to touch those that we love. Thank you.

Gina, I think that what you and Asela are doing is great. Both my parents have had cancer - Mom is 5-1/2 yrs cancer free and my dad is going on 5 years cancer free. It will be nice to be able to buy a stamp set with the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. A win-win for all paper crafters!

This set really hits home for me. Daisies are my favorite flower and I lost my mom Sept. 30, 2006 to cancer after a long battle. She was an amazing woman and never waivered in her faith in God to heal her. She had always said that she wanted to grow old and become a woman that radiated with the love of God. Although she was only 53 when she died, she did just that! It was amazing how many lives, including mine, she touched. She and the testimonies like Daisy are my inspiration. I hope to someday become a fraction of the woman my mother had become. Thank you so much for creating this set.

I lost my mom to cancer a few years ago...and daisies were her favorite flower, so yes, this set has an unimaginable meaning to me. Once again, thank you ladies for this!

I think I am really going to love this set. Not only are Daisies my alltime favorite flower, but the idea of this stamp set is so worthy of the cause. My mom had breast cancer and when I moved to Az, 5 women I knew from back East had developed breast cancer as well. I have always contributed to this cause but now in the stamping world it is much more meaningful and I can do something physically productive.Thank you for doing this.

I'm excited about this set because I have several friends who have gone through brest cancer in the recent past. It's nice to know there is now a set specifically for them.
My brother is in the final stages of colo-rectal cancer, and he's only 43 with a wife and two young boys. It is heart-wrenching to see what he's been going through, but especially what it is doing to his family. Thankfully they all have a strong faith on the one true God, so our peace is in Him.
Thanks.

I can not wait to order Flowers for Daisy. I know several people who are battling cancer right now. I think I'd like to make bookmarks for each ofthem to take with them to chemo appointments. I adore the flower and the bibel passage that you chose to preview. I can't wait to see what the rest of this set looks like- I already know that I need to own it. And, since I work in a church, I can see a whole lot of use for this set at work. Oooh, I'm getting really excited. Can't wait to own this set!

While I would absolutely love to win this inspirational stamp set, I want to send my heartfelt prayers for Daisy. My husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, and then in 2007 I was striken with a very rare form of the disease. I'm happy to say we are survivors, and I will continue to pray for Daisy and her family during her treatment. I would put this set to very good use should I be the recipient. Thanks...

The meaning of this set brought tears to my eyes. I am on a benefit committee for the daughter of a very dear friend who has been battling brain cancer for 3 years and is in the final stages. I have found out how generous people are when someone needs their help so they do not have to worry about anything but taking care of their loved ones. Bless you Asela and Gina!
My thoughts and prayer go out to everyone who has been touched by cancer.

OMGosh, of course I would love to win this set. I love Asela's work. Plus, to have it inspired by a friend with cancer. I said it before I really don't think there is a single person out there that hasn't been affected one way or another with cancer. Thank you so much for doing this.

I failed to mention one lady online I found her website recently. Sue Nelson @ Heartprints.net. She inspired me as well with her work. From reading her website she doesn't sell her cards, she makes them for a not for profit organ. but I can't seem to remember which one. That is very kind of her to do that. Great artist she is. She sent me some sample cardstock without me even asking the other week, just to help me get started and show me what she uses.

I'm currently making and sending cards each week to a special friend who is fighting breast cancer. To all my fellow card making friends ... please know that your cards really can lift the spirt of those in need (send those cards and do it often, you won't regret it).

What a wonderful tribute to Daisy.
I would buy this set immediately if it was available tonight. I have several friends whose lives have been touched by cancer, and I would love to make cards for them using this set. Being a breast cancer survivor myself, I know how the little things, such as a card from a friend, mean so much.
Thank you also for the donation to finding a cure for this disease. Every little bit helps with this fight to end
cancer forever.

I love the daisy set and the bookmark with scripture added. I use copics most of the time and my favorite ink is also memento - I may have to add some additional colors to my inventory. Thanks for the opportunity to win this new set!

What a beautiful set. Thank you for your generosity to the various charitable organizations you support through sales of your sets. Just last week a good friend of mine who was 32 died from a rare form of brain cancer. What a marvelous thing if we could conquer this terrible disease in all its forms.

This set is just simply gorgeous and what a wonderful way to honor a friend. There are many flower sets out there but the main daisy image i've seen on blogs and such so far is just the best i've seen. I really commend you Gina for all the work you do to promote awareness and help charitable causes!

I've recently started stamping again, and after looking at boodles of blogs, I decided to start my own. I've only posted one comment so far, but it happens to be about losing my dad to lung cancer. What a gift Asela gave her friend to honor her with this stamp set. It would be a great addition to my stamp collection!

Wow! I love what I've seen so far. I agree that I like the sentiment of praying for another, not just thinking of them. We serve a love-sick God and He loves to hear our prayers.

Gina,
I have watched a number of friends and loved ones fight cancer. It isn't easy. Thank you for all that you do.

Gina,on Monday my daughter's best friend's mother was layed to rest at the young age of 37 - taken far too early by cancer. Suzy left behind her beautiful spririt, along with her two small children. I was just sharing with friends I want to do something, anything and elected to offer a piece of art in her honor and donate proceeds both to her family and to the ACS. Your readers can purchase this piece of art at http://terriconraddesigns.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/39/products_id/463
I will send my visitors your way as well.
Thanks you for your graciousness.

What a beautiful set of stamps. I love Daisies (my daughter's name!!) and I stamp with flowers a lot. I would be most proud to use this set, given the story behind them, and I am glad that Daisy is here fighting her illness and able to see what she has inspired. Thank you.
Reply to this
The stamp is beautiful and a lovely tribute to Daisy. I love dasies after the loss of a 2 year old I dreamed of him every night in a field of daises and that dream left me forever when God blessed us with a baby boy. Daisies are precious tome. I am praying for Daisy!
Reply to this
First off I have to say that I have added Daisy to my daily thoughts and prayers. Enduring many loved ones battle with cancer I know we all need the prayers for added strength and healing we can get.
Second - I adore this set. I just found Gina K designs through this set from the Taylored Expressions blog.
Third - your work is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial on how to make the bookmark. I've just gotten into Copic markers in the last 3 1/2 weeks and I've been trying to figure out how everyone gets the fabulous shading effect - so far mine have NOT come out looking to hot. This tutorial brought to light what I need to do in order to create the shaded effects without the lines.
Thank you so much!!!

Gina,
My best friend's sister has battled cancer for the last year, and is now dying. Hospice is in place, and my heart is heavy for Debbie as she prepares to say goodbye to Janet. Thank you for this stamp release. It is definitely in God's timing! No one knows what to do in times like this, except pray. You have given us a treasure that will bless me and many others who are touched by cancer. Thank you!

My best friend is battling Breast cancer and I know how Asela feels! She and her friend are in my prayers and I think this stamp set is a beautiful tribute to her love for her friend! Thank you Gina for promoting this set! The kindness of stampers never ceases to amaze me!!

WOW - Another wonderful set for a great cause. We have been touch by cancer in my family - Everyone of my moms siblings that has passed away was battling cancer. One form or another. This past year my 14 year old Daughter was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma - Thyroid Cancer. It has been quite a year but Praise God - it is a curable cancer and He carried her through this with such grace. Looking back and as we go forward we will forever be changed.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart" and "Be still and know that I am God" were two verses that stuck with me.
Thanks for all the stamps for a cause!
You are doing such a wonderful thing with this line. May you be blessed each and every day.

What a wonderful cause to support. My father is a prostate cancer survior, my cousin also a cancer survivor. I did however lose an Aunt to cancer many many years ago. Bless you for doing this, my prayers are with all.

What a great way to give back. I'm actually batting Hodgkins Lymphoma right now. I'm very fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life to support me. I couldn't have gone through this without them.
Daisy is in my thoughts and prayers and I can't wait to see the rest of this set!

This is such a beautiful and touching set. I have been affected by cancer in so many ways and I will definitely get this set to honor those who both won and lost their battles. The scripture is SO perfect and makes this set all the more special to me. Thanks for doing such a wonderful thing, Gina, and Daisy will be in my prayers.

As many have written before me, this is such a beautiful set and a wonderful idea. Thank you.

Another beautiful set and another wonderful cause. Just wondering though, does Psalm have an "s" at the end of it? My NIV version does not say Psalms, it says Psalm. Thanks again for encouraging stampers to give to so many worthwhile organizations.
Reply to this
Beautiful bookmark for a deserving cause. Love the colors and the simple embellishments.
This is my first time here and I'm wondering how to order the Flowers for Daisy stamp set...I'm quite computer-challenged, so any help from anyone will be appreciated. Also, are the stamps mounted on wooden blocks like SU?
Krystal, you are correct about the spelling of Psalm in the NIV; however, in our old RSV Bibles it is Psalms. I never noticed that change before. Curious.
Reply to this
OMGosh this set is so sweet! And could it be any more perfect? Daisies are my faves and I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected by Cancer in some way!!! As always Gina your heart is so big!

Great stamp set and what better cause.
Flowers are always nice and are able to color and even the use of Crystal Lacquer. Nice idea for a bookmark
