Inspiration Hops, Day 1: It's the Little Things and Vertical Greetings

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 for our new sets, and as you hop through our 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 up, we have Becky Oehler's darling set It's the Little Things.  I am in love with this little elephant, and I love all the options it and the other animals in this set can hold.  Not just for baby cards, there are so fun and sweet for any time.  I decided to use the kite because I really liked how you can add the little bows to the kite string in any colors you want with the clear image.  Accenting the side with some grosgrain ties were just the right embellishment.  Cardstock is Pure Luxury White and Innocent Pink.

Next up we have Theresa Momber's Vertical Greetings.  You might as well call this set "versatile Greetings, because they aren't just an orientation they make for a huge design elements in your cards!  I made a CAS one to show how you can use the greetings alone to make a very cool, graphic looking design.  Ink is Gina K. Red Hot, Sweet Mango, Sweet Corn, Grass Green and Turquoise Sea, stamped in that order and then again going in the reverse back up the right side.  I added one tiny rhinestone to accent the "i" in the middle greeting.  I love how this makes and arrow or part of a huge chevron. ;)  Cardstock is Pure Luxury Red Hot and White.

But she includes classic images that are so pretty for backgrounds or focal points, of course, as well.  I chose to make one red so it would pop from the subdued blue ones. and used Gina K. Moonlit Fog ink to stamp the flowers so the greetings stamped in Black Onyx ink over it would be easily read.  Copics BG93, G24, E07.  Cardstock is Pure Luxury Little Boy Blue, Cherry Red, and White.

Here are the sets we featured today:
