Gina K. Designs Hot Summer Release - Part 2 - Day 1


Happy Monday!

It's the beginning of a two day blog hop to celebrate the second half of our July Hot Summer Release.  July was so special, we had to break it in two and celebrate twice!


The first set I want to show you is Just a Little by Lisa Hetrick.  I can't tell you how much I love this set.  And by the way - the stripe stamp - it will probably never leave my desk!


It is easy to stamp that stripe in multiple colors using the mini ink cubes and I love how it looks as a full background.  This image would be beautiful colored in, but I really wanted the stripes to show, so I just stamped the image in black and added the butterfly which I cut out with my Cameo.




Next we have an equally beautiful set called Grand Garden.  It was designed by the uber talented Alicia Krupsky.  Everything about this set is grand and I love that.


Here is the card I designed using the set (plus those stripes of course):



Be sure to comment all along the blog hop stops.  You could be a $50 gift card winner by visiting and commenting on each designer's post (links below)  To see who won, remember to check the Big News Forum at StampTV on Friday.
