Preview Day 2

When Rupa sent me the images for her newest stamp set, "Whatever Floats your Boat," I new immediately that these little guys would touch your heart. This entire set is just full of encouragement and you will know exactly what I mean when you see the entire set tomorrow night.



I am in love with giraffe images and Rupa's giraffe looking through that window is just too sweet.  I used Crystal Lacquer all over the window. Crystal Lacquer will soon be available through our online store. I will make an announcement and post a tutorial when it arrives. I love the glossy dimension it provides and it's super easy to use. Doesn't it look like a real glass window?

You may also have noticed that the screw brads in the picture are smaller than our prior ones. Our screw brads are now being packaged with both sizes in the bag. There are times when I like to use smaller ones and times I like to use the bigger ones.

The sentiments in this set are both cute and whimsical along with a couple of standard type greetings to make the set more versatile.  The greeting I chose for this project is "I would stick my neck out for you any day!" Isn't that just perfect for this image?

 

I used archaic patterned paper by Basic Grey. It's such a nice paper for when you want a little bit of a masculine feel. For the woodgraining, I used this video tutorial.

Each month, everyone is so excited to see what the free stamp set will be! If you are new to Gina K. Designs we have a gift for you when you order any 3 stamp sets. It's called our "One free with 3." This month's set called "Summer Harvest."



With inchies being all the rage, (inchies are little one inch stamped squares that are used for cards and other projects,) I decided to do three little "inchie and a halfs." LOL! You certainly can use these stamps for inchies and for twinchies too. (2 inch squares.)



I colored these fruits with Copic Markers and used more Crystal Lacquer to make them pop off the paper. It really adds a lot to these cherries and berries.

I used nestabilities to cut and emboss them and Metallic Rubbing Paste to highlight the embossed edge.

I really like the look of the greeting. It's got a casual kind of elegance that will work with all kinds of images.

Two chances to win these stamp sets!

Later today I will announce yesterday's stamp set winner. And today, you will have two chances to win because I am giving away one of each of these fun new stamp sets. All you have to do is leave a comment and I will randomly choose a name and post the winner tomorrow.

And tomorrow night is our release party in our forum at Splitcoaststampers. We'll be playing some games, hosting some challenges, showing you more sneak peeks and doing a whole lot of chatting. Then, at 10 PM central time, the new products will go live in our store. I sure hope you can join us for the fun!

Look for more inspiration from our fabulous design team!
