For my first card, I used the Your Own Kind Of Beautiful Stamp Set. which is included in the kit. I stamped and colored the flower basket image with Prismacolor colored pencils which I blended with Gamsol and a blending stump. I then used the coordinating die to cut it out. The stitched rectangle piece was created using the Gina K Designs Single Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies.

I stamped the sentiment on the rectangle die cut and then adhered the flower basket image with double sided tape. I finished off the card front by using a polka dot embossing folder to emboss a piece of Gina K cardstock in Jelly Bean Green.

For my second card, I used the Dazzling Dahlia stamp set. The flowers in this set include both an outline and solid image of each shape. This combination gives you so many options and I'm sure you'll see tons of different ways you can use and combine these images along the hop today.

I choose to stamp the images using black ink and create my own background patterned paper. I then stamped the flowers and leaf images and die cut them using the coordinating dies. To create the focal point of my card, I used the Gina K Designs Single Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies to die cut a piece of white cardstock and then I used the Gina K Designs Double Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies to die cut a piece of Turquoise Sea cardstock. I layered these images and centered them onto my stamped background. I then used adhesive to adhere the stamped flower and leaf images. I used double sided adhesive to pop up the two largest flower images. The final touch was the addition of a few turquoise sequins.

Before you go, I have one more card to share with you. Gina K also released a new Incentive Stamp Set called Rose Bouquet and I couldn't resist creating a card with it to share with you today. If you aren't familiar with the Incentive Stamps, they are stamp sets that you can get for free when you order $75 or more of product from Gina K Designs.

To create this card, I stamped the rose image onto a piece of water color paper. I then colored the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a water brush.

After the coloring was complete, I stamped the sentiment. The final touch was some ink splatters. I accomplished this by coloring with the Zig Marker onto my craft mat. I then added some water using a paint brush. With the brush full of water and ink, I then flicked it onto the paper to achieve the splattered look.
