StampTV Kit, Day 2: Give Thanks




Good morning! The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you back to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new Painted Autumn StampTV Kit! We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projects as you hop along to each of the designer’s blogs! Today, we are featuring the second set in the Painted Autumn StampTV Kit, Give Thanks. In this set, you will find fun and cuddly critters, acorn, leaves and fun sentiments to make the most adorable card projects!  There are so many possibilities with these sets!

Here is one from the release party. I love this little guy! I noticed the pumpkin trio was the perfect width to perch on top of his tail and prized acorn, fun! Had to grab some of the kit's coordinating pumpkin paper and I stamped colored and cut out the single acorn for an embellishment. The oval shadow stamp is so very versatile, as you will see below...



....Ginormous petals!! And a ginormous center to go with, using that circle frame in the set! Good stuff! Base is GKD Sweet Corn and ink is GKD Cherry Red , stamped full strength and stamped off in between for the lighter color. Circle and sentiment are stamped in GKD Black Onyx.  If the letter looks a teeny bit dimensional, I shifted the stamp a hair after stamping and stamped off! Love it! I also used my BG3 Spectrum Noir marker to trace a little shadow on the sides of the stamped petals. Love this single layer design!  beautiful with any color on Pure Luxury White, but I wanted to use some of the pretty colored cardstock included in the kit.

  4. Melanie, what a creative idea to use the little shadow stamp to make the "Ginormous" (as you put it) petals! It is gorgeous! I don't know if mine would have been so even. Love the squirrel card too, doing his balancing act with the pumpkins.

  40. The juggling squirrel is so cute. I love how you created the sunburst/flower. I wasn't quite sure what the stamp you used for the petals was for. Thanks for the great inspiration. Love the colors you used.

  41. Love them Melanie... Especially the ginormous flower. I do not notice the shadow when I look at it I just think it looks great and then when I go back and I look for the shadow I realize how important it is that it was there. I keep learning from you Melanie I'm a slow learner but I keep learning .
