A Happy Hearts Hop With Tami!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a happy hop with a new Gina K. Designs stamp set, Happy Hearts, designed by the amazing Tami Mayberry!!!!

• Stamps: Happy Hearts
• Paper: GKD Pure Luxury White, Lipstick Red
• Ink: Vivid Brick Red, Memento Tuxedo Black
• Accessories: Pearls, Stickles, Ribbon
  

Now first.........I expect y'all to notice that I did NOT use pink on a card with hearts even!!!!!! LOL One reason is because.......okay, okay........I gotta give you a break from my Pinkdom once in a while!!!! And also I'm in LOVE with this new Pure Luxury cardstock, Lipstick Red!!!!! I used the Vivid Brick Ink Pad to stamp the hearts and then cut them out making sure to leave a white outline so they'd pop out from the background. I couldn't resist bling, however!!!! LOL Lots of mini pearls!!!! Well, ya know.......it's about as CAS as I seem to able to go!!!

I'm also really starting to enjoy designing the insides of the cards........pretty simple, but it really does add that extra little "something"!!! Thanks to our amazing Jessica for the inspiration to not leave the insides of my cards blank..........her cards, inside and out are stunning!!!!

And feelin' frisky just seemed to go with the bright and cheery Basic Grey Lemonade dp........which happens to match beautifully with the GKD Pure Luxury Green Apple and Innocent Pink!!!

Hopping With Melanie's Square Pegs!!!!!

It's a fun and fabulous Gina K. Designs hop..........to showcase the ever-talented Melanie and her newest adorable stamp set, Square Pegs!!!!!! Now, this was designed specifically to go with her Hip To Be Square....but it also goes beautifully with her Inspiration Mosaic!!!!



I stamped Inspiration Mosaic onto some pearlescent dp I had.....then stamped the heart image over it and glittered them up while the ink was still wet......can't get enough glitter for sparkly hearts ya know!!!! LOL I used the new Gina K. Pure Luxury Innocent Pink along with Mother Of Pearl......lots of shimmer and soft pink!!!! I then stamped the XOXO image and made a background tag and layered the Fancy Tags Nesties with oval punches for the sweet little sentiment!! Now.......I was going to add pearls all over........but, well......I decided for a change to use my "edit" button and let the shimmer cardstock and glitter be the stars!!! LOL

This first card uses the newest Free With Three.......Love Notes by Gina. Some wonderful sentiments that are perfect with soooo many images or as a stand alone sentiment!!! I used this sentiment so I could mostly focus on some embossed pink music notes and a big satin bow!!!! LOL This is some of the new GKD Pure Luxury cardstock......Innocent Pink and Wine With Everything!!!



This next card is pretty CAS for me!!! LOL Using Nina's new Heartily Yours........I wanted the simple color combo here to really show the bold design and of course I had the perfect bling to match!!!! LOL The cardstock here is GKD Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Kraft.





This card features a brand new template from the ever creative Melanie!!!! Remember that desk template??? Well, here's an oven!!!! Sooo much fresh baked goodness!!!! LOL I paired up Nina's Lovely Shelf with Melanie's Have A Cookie. I cut out a little oven window and put some more cookies inside!!! LOL And the front is a blingy combo of cookies and milk!!!! LOL What better than my favorite pink and brown color combo for cookies and baking!!!!???!!!! And if you want to know if I REALLY have a pink tea kettle........well the answer is......no, only because I haven't found one yet!!!! ROFL!!!!
