Inspiration Hop, Day 2: Always Autumn and The Simple Things StampTV Kit

Good morning! The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina, along with the Cast and Crew, will inspire you with many beautiful ideas, and as you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.

First, here is a card I made with Theresa's set Always Autumn, using her gorgeous pumpkin arrangement and sentiment.  I used my Fabulous Frame Fillers set to create the framing around the pumpkins, stamping the flourish three times in Gina K. Dark Chocolate ink, then adding the fleur-de-lis to the middle of each, stamping some clusters of leaves at the corners and around the words, and finally stamping the scalloped border on either side of the sentiment.  I love how it turned out, and it is so fun just getting creative with these stamps and making up what works for your layout as you go!  These hand-drawn elements coordinate so nicely with Theresa's hand-drawn images.

Supplies: Spectrum Noir markers: CG2, DG3, GB3, CR10, GB9, OR1, TN6, TN9, BG3 (Copic: E07, YR04, YR07, YR18, Y17, Y15, YG97, YG95, W3)

Gina L. Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus and Ivory cardstock (from the StampTV kit)

Next, another card with the new StampTV Kit The Simple Things. I am especially loving how well they coordinate with my Fabulous Frame Fillers set, I am so set for Fall! I shrieked a little when I found that both my oval borders fit into this gorgeous label in the kit *and* on the new Vintage Cuts. Eek!

 Cardstock is Gina K. Pure Luxury Tomato Soup and Ivory, both included in kit.  Stamping is done in Gina K. Tomato Soup and Dark Chocolate inks. Stitched line goes across the bottom and top with no masking, but add a sticky note to each end when doing the long sides, stamping the border twice on each side.
