Inspiration Hop, Day 2: Take Note, Wicked, and You Say Goodbye and I Say 'ello

Good morning! The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas four our newest stamp sets, and as you hop through their 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 Gina K. Designs Grab Bag that could have anything from stamps, to paper, to embellishments! To see the list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!

These note cards in Tami Mayberry's "Take Note" set are so fun for the kids!  I saw the happy and sad face and decided to show my son he made the "nice list" this year.  (But I'll wait til the week before Christmas to let him know just in case, squeeze out some more good behavior!) I had some of this fun DP from last year to layer under it and showed the boys' names checked off! (I didn't have the heart to say any real person we know was naughty, so I put "Mr. Krabs" from...do you know?) :) Last I trimmed and punched out some choice bits from Fresh Asparagus CS embossed with the Cuttlebug Congrats folder. ("so proud" and "you did it!") I hope William likes....Base is Kraft and mat is Cherry Red.

 

The "You Say Goodbye and I Say Ello" cut file is so cute with Becky Oehler's images, and when colored or paper pieced, they look already matted!  The cut file is also handy for flipping the word bubbles when you want them going a different direction for your design. Note I didn't stamp the word bubble for "Bonjour", just flipped the cut out from the file.

Note I didn't stamp the word bubble for "Bonjour", just flipped the cut out from the file.  I used a Decorative Edgeabilities on the lacy patterned paper, and then used the tiny pieces that fell out to make some hearts (dabbed with red Copic). Cardstock is Pure Luxury White, Kraft and Black Onyx.

 

Absolutely adorable, Becky!

Next, Beth Silaika's Wicked silhouettes are perfect for creating spooky scenes!  I started with Pure Luxury White cardstock and sponged on Memento Cantaloupe ink.  I clear embossed the star pattern and the sponged over Rich Cocoa at the top and bottom.

Create a full moon by masking as are with a circle cut out and sponge on more ink. last stamp greeting, fence and spookies.  Add rhinestones on the ghost and make cat eyes.  Finally, Yowl at the moon! Such a fun set!
