I love the superbaby! My fave of the sneaks I've seen are the peanut (because mine is sleeping beside me) and My mommy rocks (because I do, of course). I would love to see a monkey face. The onesie is adorable!
Congrats Michelle! Please email me by Saturday, 4/25 with your mailing address so I can send you the stamps! :)
I am so excited about this latest tee set,"Wee Tees": for babies and beyond! We've been waiting to release this one because spring just feels like babies (and a good thing, because I have some showers now to stamp for! LOL!) and if you're a fan of any of the "Little Tees", "Just So Sporty" and/or "Tee Talk" , these must-have stamps open a whole new set of mix and matchy possibilities! (possibilitees!)
Here's a more traditional one: "baby" images, colors and sentiments! Cut 4 2" squares from coordinating DP, this uses Basic Gray and DCWV and adhere to a 4.25" square Gina K Pure Luxury White Base. Punch scalloped corners from DP for the corners and add some matching buttons. The onesie is paper pieced (if you love paper piecing you will love this set!) and I used a marker in s lightly darker shade to color in the neck and leg holes to give it dimension. Hanger is from "Little Tees." You can see here how nicely a little image and greeting from the set will fit on a small tag, too, not just the onesie, here I used SU!'s large and small tag punches. I added an eyelet with my Cropodile and a little piece of tied hemp attached with a glue dot above the hanger. I also used the new Scor-Bug tool with my Scor-Pal to pierce holes around the border like a quilt, love how quickly and easily you can add that detail!
Now this card uses less traditional images and colors on the onesie (but every parent thinks their baby is SUPER, right?!) Here I sketched a really simple cape on the sides of the onesie image to match the tiny one (you can do this!), colored it with Copics, love that pop of red on the sleeves and ribbing! Then I made it into a "tilt card" so it wobbles back and forth, see below...
Constantly on the go, just like baby!! ;)
This next project showcases Rupa's new "Guiding Light", the perfect nautical set, just in time for Father's Day! I love this rope image you can use to make frames, I stamped it in Not Quite Navy on the Brocade Blue and layered the navy CS underneath. I made two nested cut outs through the layers to frame the light house image, which I cut out to make dimensional.
For more peeks of today's sneak preview sets, please see the rest of our Gina K Designs Team's blogs:
I love to do this technique of creating a beam light, simply place a long triangular strip of paper down where you want the ray, sponge around it and remove! Here it spotlights "Dad" :) last I added the wheel with a little brad in the center and put it all on this shimmery Cappuccino Metallic CS base from Paper Temptress. probably one of my favorite masculine cards ever!

OH A ship's wheel too!!!! Thats the bomb! I cannot wait to get this set for my Dad. He is a big boater, his main and only real true hobby. He lives in NJ at the Jersey shore so I know this will be a great set for his cards from here on out. He has surgery in 5/8 on his hip so I am already thinking of ideas to help cheer him. And the superbaby is just adorable. I have to have that!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, that cape is so cool! Love this set, Mel! Gorgeous lighthouse card!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Melanie! Your new set is awesome! Loving all the cute sneak peeks and I'm sure there are many more great stamps in that set! Can't wait to see! Your sample cards are so adorable! Thanks for the chance to win Wee Tees!
ReplyDeleteYour super baby card is so cute and your lighthouse card is awesome. I have been excited to see what you came out with and and the onesie set will be very fun to work with. I love everything you do.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so cute!! The onesie looks to be the PERFECT size (for cards, scrapbook pages, paper piecing, etc.), and I LOVE that "Super Baby" sentiment -- just perfect! Can't wait to see the whole "wee"-bang! ;) Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThe superman cape card is fun, but my favorite image is the teddy bear. It's just so baby-ish. I'm anxious to see the set in its entirety. Karen plwegner@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! How perfect BOTH sets are!!!! I have two relatives expecting babies soon AND... my hubby is retired from the Navy. How great both of these will be to have! I can't wait to get my hands on them!! I LOVE the card you made with the lighthouse... beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteThe fathers day card is super fantistic! I think it is the best card I have seen for a man! Great Job and I love your stamp set!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the onesie! It's perfect for all the baby cards - and piecing it would be great! Cool set! And I love the lighthouse beam too...
ReplyDeleteSuper Baby is just beyond adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the snuggle bear and party at my crib!
I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for Thursday night.
What a great card Melanie! Super cute images! I love the teddy bear with the onesie and the cute bib... any of these cute images and words would be perfect for my new wee one. :o) TFS!
ReplyDeleteOk, wow, so hard to pick a favorite, but I think my favorite image is the baby in the cape, although I think the block with numbers you can add to it are sheer genius! I hope there's an actual little (toddler-sized) tee in the set and if not maybe we can get one of those later! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Wee Tees set. I really like your card with the Teddy Bear. I could envision many cute cards with this set. Can't wait until the reveal.
ReplyDeleteneihejp@att.net
WOW!!! You're such a rock star - I LOVE that cape on that onesie!!! Both of your cards with your set are too adorable!
ReplyDeleteRupa's set is showcased beautifully with your card - wow! It's so beautiful!
Love this card! It is so cute and a perfect set for cards and scrapbooking! I need it... :o)))
ReplyDeleteLove that onesie card with the cape. So creative. Another great set. Also, love the light beam technique. I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeleteGreat sneak peeks! Besides the onesie of course my favorites are the snuggle bear, the peanut and the baby block. I sure would use this set a lot!!
ReplyDeleteMelanie--this is going to be a great hit. Everyone I know is having babies this year. I have a brand new grandson and can't wait to start making him a scrapbook. So far the favorite things I have seen is the little words that go on the onesie--such as little lady with the ladybug, the little angel etc. I am looking forward to seeing what will work with little boys too.
ReplyDeleteAdorable new set, but I *love* what you did with Rupa's set. That lighthouse scene is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWell you know I'm hooked on your sets Melanie & I love it when a new set is released! Everyone's sneak peaks are wonderful, I'm looking forward to seeing the whole set...60 plus stamps!!!! amazing! Super baby, spit happens, come on this will be another totally versatile must have set! Thanks for the chance to win, I have my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, what a cute set - I love it - another wish list item - I really need to get a second job to support this habit of mine! - Anyway back to your question - I love the bib - I had spitters and we had bibs or a diaper around all the time - spit does happen, that is for sure! I also love the cape - very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun!
Sandra

What sweet baby cards and the Guiding Light took my breath away. I can not wait to see them all!
ReplyDeleteI have been dancing around buying a set with a baby onesie in it FOREVER, but seeing these sneak a peeks and just a smidgen of your sentiments/embellishments, I know that I've found my winner. Now I just need to patiently wait until the release. (unless, of course, I'm very lucky...)
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I love them all but the super baby card is the best!! Thanks for this must have set. SharriC
ReplyDeleteThat Super Baby card is so great Mel! What a fantastic set of stamps.. ooo, and I love the way you rocked it out with that lighthouse - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo far I think I love the ‘onesie’ and the adorable ‘binky’ I saw on LJ’s blog, plus the super baby card you posted here! I can’t wait to see the full set, but so far the previews are screaming for me to buy now! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteI saw a snuggle onsie, a peanut onsie and an angel one too and like all of them. Maybe there is a devil one for the more naughty babies? I love all things small cause there so cute and this set looks like it is cute with a capital C!
ReplyDeleteWell I can tell I am going to spend more money at Gina K Designs this week!! And as always your cards are soooo cute!!

Melanie! I really dig your tee shirts woman! You have given a new meaning to tee shirt style - and it's all great!!
ReplyDeleteTake care and STAY POSITIVE!
I am so loving that super baby onesie. too cute. All your cards are wonderful. TFS
ReplyDeleteYou have out-done yourself - - AGAIN! I LOVE the onesies! My favorite has got to be the super baby! When I had my first baby (23 yrs ago!) I bought him a little superman jammies set that had a little red cape that was detachable. I saved that little outfit and every single one of my other kids (even Jess) wore it! I still have it put away for my first grandbaby.
ReplyDeleteI have got to have your new set! Besides, my sis-in-law is having a baby next month. This set makes such cute cards too!
I'm loving all the previews... although my laptop doesn't like the drool as much. LOL!
I am loving your new tee set! You rock!
ReplyDeleteThat lighthouse card is gorgeous!
How cute is that Super Baby!?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ray of light tip, I think I like this set already.
I have been looking for a onesie set like this for over a year!! I love the paper-pieced ones, and the saying that says "I'm here" the best, but all are really cute :) Can't wait to see the entire set.
ReplyDeleteNo way! The Super baby card is FABULOUS! I love that it shakes too! Can't wait to see the rest of the set!
ReplyDeleteLove the super baby card - very cute!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, i love your baby cards. they are "super" cute. And your lighthouse card it flat out gorgeous. I am loving all the samples and can't wait to see the whole set. I can see it now this release is going to cost me big bucks!
ReplyDeleteSUPER Baby! Love that card.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the lighthouse too, especially with the beam - I'm all about the ocean/sea. I'm so lucky to live just five minutes away...
I love the baby block with the numbers. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the SUPER BABY!!! :) He is just too sweet for words! Super sweet, I'd say! Tee hee!
ReplyDeleteI also love the different words for the tees...it makes it so versatile a set! But the paper piecing possibilities and peeks have been INCREDIBLE! Wow!
I just can't think of a cooler set to complement my other "Tee collection" stamps :)
Will there be a "My girl" and "My boy", I wonder? Hey! How about the word 'wonder' to add to My girl and My Boy...wonder :)
Kim Marie
Another great set Melanie! I love everything I have see today with the wee tees! Your cards are awesome as usual!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun set! I love the teddy bear!
ReplyDeleteOkay- the super baby is super cute! I'm going to have quite the wardrobe of stamps. cpine
ReplyDeleteOh this new set is so cute!! It fits so well with my "baby-on-the-brain" mode! I can already daydream about scrapbooking pages of my new handsome little guy!... :-p
ReplyDelete(PS: been thinking about you, long time no see, but baby takes all my time!...)
Are you serious! I can't pick just one fave! BUT if I have to I guess I would have to go with the cool lighthouse. I love the beam in your card. Very nice effect. I DO love the onesies, too, though. :D
ReplyDeleteThey are all adorable! I loved the little angel and the teddy bear!
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh! You need to make a wee tee for yourself that says super stamper! You are soooooooooh good! Love that little baby madly. You always deliver inspiration by the truckload! :O)
ReplyDeleteWow this set is just adorable and of course a must have. I have to say that the cape wee tee is just priceless. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI love Libby's cards. And the tiny teddy on Theresa's card is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this set! And I'm really hoping there's a "silly monkey" stamp in there somewhere, because it would be perfect for my friends' boys. And I'm going to have to try a tilt card, that looks so adorable with the Super Baby onesie in your sample!
ReplyDeleteI love the Wee Tee's set! Your ideas are wonderful
ReplyDeleteI love the "Superbaby" Tee! You are always so clever and so "Copic". Still practicing my coloring skills with Copics - you are such an inspiration! Love your site.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this set, so cool! Lots could be done with it!
ReplyDeleteAll the t-shirts are cute, but I just love the "Super Baby" card! Your cards are just precious.
ReplyDeleteKate
I don't know which Wee Tee I like best, they are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove them all!! Super baby set!! A must have!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know I tell you this ever release, but this oe is your best one yet!!! I'm itching to get it cause as soon as I saw a project popped into my head and so timely with a friend expecting a little one. I'm sure it will be a huge hit!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the superbaby! My fave of the sneaks I've seen are the peanut (because mine is sleeping beside me) and My mommy rocks (because I do, of course). I would love to see a monkey face. The onesie is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI've loved all the sneak peeks this week and everyone had such cute Wee Tee peeks that it was hard to decide on a favorite. I keep coming back to the Super Baby on your card so I have to say that is my fav! It just makes me smile!
