"Stencilled Silhouettes" and "Celebrate in Style"

Hope you had a GREAT time at the party on STV last night and fun shopping in the store, all new products are AVAILABLE NOW! We're kicking off four more days of hop with the Gina K Designs Team to show you more ideas and inspiration for all our latest Gina K sets! We know the first thing a lot of people want to know is "what's free?!" and this month we have not one but TWO great freebie sets with purchase, in honor of 2 great years of StampTV! We also know have a lot in your cart and on your wish list so we want to show you some rewards you get with your orders and fun ways to use them! :) Without further adieu, let's see these sets!

The first is "Stencilled Silhouettes", bold images that are beautiful with the Direct to Stamp technique, get out your markers! :) This set is free this month only with the purchase of three stamps sets valued at 19.95 or above! Today I made two very simple CAS cards, these stamps make such crisps pop of color on a clean white sheet of Pure Luxury!

I also worked in this week's STV Color Spotlight challenge to create these cards: Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion, and Green Grass. I used my Memento Markers to color directly on the rubber, "huffing" with my breath to moisten the ink and then stamping. Ribbon is Pure Luxury. Don't you love that font?? Fun but sophisticated! I also added a row of my "Bring the Bling" to lead your eye to the tulips and underscore the greeting, the bold dots work very well with these chunky stamps...

The next card I made the row going across my vertical card with the greeting below it. This is such a classic layout! I started by stamping my scalloped row from "Bring the Bling" then stamped each trio of inked up flowers above it TWICE, the flowers fit perfectly at the top of each "v", I was so excited to discover that when Gina previewed the set! You could also stamp the scallops upside down and then stamp the flowers into the "humps".

Next up is "Celebrate in Style", this mini set is free with ANY $35 purchase this month! You get this adorable frock on dressmaker form (so cute and trendy!) and a greeting that works for almost any occasion! I stamped the dress onto Basic Grey Lemonade DP and then again on vellum so I could add another layer of the skirt underneath. I didn't have any fabric or lace on hand, but in real life the vellum looks very gossamer and girly! :)
Lemon Drop layer is stamped with my "Bring the Bling" border, I tapped the stamp onto my Versamark pad before inking it up with cranberry ink, and then stamping. This layer of Versamark allows clear EP to stick to the image so after heating you can have glossy, dimensional embossing, just like real bling! (Be sure to do the Versamark FIRST so you don't get colored ink on your pad! ) I used the stamped border as a guide to free cut around it creating a fancy edge.

I love how these little bling dots look with the berries in the print! I also stamped a little bling flower onto the same DP and then just cut around the edge to make an embellishment. Ivory CS is Cuttlebugged with Victoria and base is Pure Luxury Lipstick Red.

Both sets here at "What's New?"! Please enjoy more inspiration with these stamps from our talented Gina K Design Team!
