Gina K. Design's Guest Designer 2008-11-20T23:20:30Z http://guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com/atom.aspx Quick Blogcast Our final day with Donna Baker tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-10-14:a1f0586e-ba9e-4996-9687-e034a38b13c2 Gina Krupsky 2008-10-16T23:04:47Z 2008-10-14T15:45:00Z That title is a bit misleading! Today would normally be our final day with our guest designer, however, I have a wonderful announcement to make.

Please welcome Donna Baker in her new role:



Donna has accepted a position with Gina K. Designs as a senior design team member. I am just thrilled that Donna will continue to inspire you with beautiful Gina K. Designs cards, 3-D projects and more! Congratulations Donna, and welcome to the team.

This was the hardest project to keep under wraps around my house. When I first opened the box of projects I knew I had to hide this project for as long as I could because if Rina got to it, I would never see it again. Of course, it's hers now. Lol!

Donna created this sweet little book and calculator set for Rina using Melanie Muenchinger's stamp set called "Little Tees."



When I opened it up, I was in for a very glittery surprise!



Rina LOVES little notebooks and pens. And now she has her very own calculator too! Donna also created the cool ribbon bookmark for Rina to use when she's reading. She loves that!



This is a perfect gift idea for tween/teen girls or a busy mom who needs that notebook to keep track of daily errands! It's also great to have a little calculator in your purse to add up that grocery bill before you get to the check out line.

Project details:
Calculator - Notepad & bookmark
Set: Little Tees
Cardstock: DCWV glitter stack, white, Regal Rose,
Inks: palette ink (beaux arts red),
Accessories: Grungeboard, hodgepodge hardware, Rose ¼” & 5/8” grosgrain ribbon, jump ring, canvas white, polyshrink making memories fibers

I hope you have enjoyed this month's guest designer spot. Posted below is Donna's short and sweet bio. Look for more of Donna coming soon to our design team page at www.ginakdesigns.com and look for more of her beautiful work coming up in our next release!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Gina K.

From Donna Baker

"Hi Y’all!  This Honorary Texan (transplant from Northern California) and husband of 11 years, John (Born & Bred Texan) are currently saving up to build our dream home on 2 ½ beautiful acres in the country! 

I was thrilled to have been 'discovered' by Gina K. when I won Melanie's Just so Hoppy contest, March 10th and she sent me an email that read, 'uh we need to talk' and extended the invitation to be her guest designer for October! 

I thought the time would drag keeping this secret but it went by fast! I enjoyed having 'grown' during those months as a stamper; serving as Guest Designer for Paper Pretties (July-Sept) and currently serving as designer for Starving Artistamps & Tailored Expressions.  I look forward to so many more creative adventures in stamping! "

Today, Donna Baker has created a beautiful gift set to give or something wonderful to keep for yourself.

She calls it "Night table inspiration." These projects were created using Asela Hopkins stamp set called "Flowers for Daisy."



What could be more soothing than a framed piece of comfort and refuge by your bedside.



And I love the little box Donna created to hold inspirational quotes from the Bible.



I made the mistake of showing you the bookmark yesterday but it actually goes with this set which is the perfect touch for some reading in bed.



I can think of quite a few people who would appreciate this beautiful set.

This can be quite a comforting gift for those who are ill or going through medical treatment and don't really have the ability to use fancy store bought items.

It would also make a wonderful gift for someone who recently suffered a loss.

And of course, anyone who enjoys their daily dose of spirituality each morning would be thrilled to receive such a thoughtful and hopeful present.

Project details:
Night table Inspiration
Set: Flowers for Daisy
Card stock: kraft, black market paper pack Let it Bloom
Inks: Palette Burnt Umber
Accessories: Dollar store clear frame, Prismacolor & Koh-I-Noor pencils, baby oil, stumps, various jewelry supplies & tools, canvas white polyshrink, sponges, heat tool, kraft taffeta ribbon

Tomorrow is Donna's last day as our guest designer. She has created a little gift for my daughter that I can't wait to share with you and I will also share Donna's bio so you can get to know her a little bit better.

Until tomorrow.
Hugs,
Gina K.


]]> Welcome October's Guest Designer! tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-10-14:2c551b6b-767f-409a-9236-1cf935875cf3 Gina Krupsky 2008-10-14T22:52:38Z 2008-10-14T12:19:00Z

From the very first time I saw Donna Baker's work, I knew she was a star. Everything she creates is so beautiful.

I am especially fond of her ability to create fabulous 3-D projects. Being primarily a card maker myself, I am always on the lookout for 3-D projects using Gina K. Designs stamps and I knew that Donna would come through with some incredible ideas, just in time for the holidays!



I couldn't even begin to decide which of her projects to show your first but I decided on this gorgeous ensemble which is a wonderful gift for all the women in your life.



This beautiful jewelry box gift set was created using Asela Hopkins "Botanical Dreams" stamp set. Donna used the encouraging verse in this set to create an inspirational piece for the top of any dresser. What a wonderful reminder to read each morning while you're choosing your earrings for the day!

Here is the open view.



Speaking of earring, Donna created these beautiful pieces of jewelry to match using shrink plastic.



I read a thread a while ago on splitcoaststampers about people not liking to see stamped projects that aren't practical. Imagine how thrilled I was to see these beautiful things. They are not only fun to make but they are practical gifts that people will use. I can imaging adding many of the loose charms that I have in my jewelry box to this bracelet. (Sorry Donna, it's mine now. ) It's so bright and happy just like the memories that my charms hold and they need a new home.

Here is a closer view of the matching card.



And here is a bookmark that I didn't add to the original shot because the silver created too much glare in the picture.



Isn't that beautiful? Give a Bible to a child or tween/teen as a gift this holiday season and create a bookmark like this. Use it to mark the Christmas story.

Doesn't this get you excited to try to make a couple of gifts this year? Handmade gifts are great on the budget and always mean so much more to the recipient.

Here are some more gift ideas inspired by Donna's project:

Create a box for your son to keep his Pokemon cards safe and sound, or for your daughter as a place to hide those secret notes that the girls pass in school.

How about a box for Dad for all his "pocket paraphernalia?" (You know, golf tees, guitar picks, loose change, business cards, library cards that didn't make it back into the wallet, etc...)

Fill one with family photos for Grandmom and Grandpop to treasure.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to things we need to store and a handmade box is a very useful and heartfelt gift.

Project details:
Jewelry & Jewelry box
Stamp Set: Botanical Dreams
Card stock: white, Basic Grey Sultry
Inks: Palette Noir black
Accessories: wooden jewelry box, white acrylic paint, felt flowers by SU!, memory glass by Ranger, Prismacolor & Koh-I-Noor pencils, baby oil, stumps, various jewelry supplies & tools, canvas white polyshrink, heat tool, chocolate twill ribbon. 

I can't wait until you see what Donna has created for you for tomorrow! It is stunning!
Until then, have a great day!
Hugs,
Gina K.
]]> Day 3 with Jennifer Buck tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-09-16:d87d2035-b387-4786-b63a-dd0af52905ba Gina Krupsky 2008-09-16T22:30:04Z 2008-09-16T21:23:00Z

Today is our last day with guest designer Jennifer Buck and her project for day 3 is just adorable! One of the things that I admire about Jennifer is her ability to see the possibilities in a stamp set.

When Rupa designed her set, "Retro Boutique," she imagined an upscale boutique full of beautiful cocktail dresses, purses, shoes and perfume bottles for fabulous cards of friendship. But Jennifer saw something a little bit different.



Look at that hot little number. I think it looks just like a modern day Mrs. Claus! Jennifer created this very simple Christmas card, again from a set that isn't necessarily a Christmas set.

Don't you love how she mimiced the scalloped edge of the dress by making a white scalloped edge on the card? Too much! And that glitter adds just a little holiday sparkle.

This card is simple and elegant. You can leave the card plain or add an elegant holiday greeting across the top. Fabulous!

Card details
Card stock- Stampin' Up real red and whisper white
Ribbon- Target
Other- Copic markers, white liquid pearls, glitter and sticky pearls

I have had so much fun this week with Jennifer! I hope you have enjoyed her talent and creativity as much as I have. She's really thinks outside the box and that's what makes her such a great designer. I really appreciate the time she put into these projects and I am so grateful and honored to have her work with us for this guest designer spot.

Below is her "about me" so you can get to know her a little better.

Thanks for visiting our guest designer page! Until next month!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Hello to everyone!

My name is Jennifer Buck…aka JenniB04 at SCS.  To say I am honored to be the guest designer for September is an understatement! I was completely speechless when Gina asked! I am such a huge fan of hers and had been for quite a while before this so I was so excited to actually get the chance to talk to her in person. …and she’s just as sweet in person as she is online!

I am a stay at home mom to three wonderful, BUSY, boys ages 8, 6, and 1 ½.  My husband and I have been married for ten years and call the wonderful state of Indiana our home.
 
I have been stamping for a little over three years. I was introduced by a neighbor who was selling Creative Memories at the time. She was trying to get me into scrapbooking but when I expressed my dislike of the limitations by the stickers she introduced me to Stampin’ Up!. It was love at first ink! 

I started my blog a little over a year ago after my youngest son was born.  It was getting harder and harder to get together with my stamping group and at their encouragement ‘The Buck Stamps Here’ was born. 

Currently I am designing for Unity Stamp Company and Page Plans.I also create weekly samples for Sharon Johnson’s Stamp Simply Team, Beate Johns BIC challenge, and Stampin’ Up!’s monthly challenges…a perk from being one of the Artisan winners.

I have also been published in Papercrafts magazine.

My very first ‘anything’ is this spot. I had no idea when I started my blog all of the wonderful design opportunities out there! It is such a thrill to be part of this community and to get to do what I love! Stamping is my refuge on those ‘rainy’ days; it gives me the opportunity to take a little time for me.

Thanks so much, Gina, for this wonderful opportunity!  I am so happy to have the opportunity!  This has been amazing!

Hugs to you all!
Jennifer

In case you haven't heard, Jennifer Buck is one of Splitcoaststamper's newest "Dirty Girls." To read more about the Dirty Dozen and the fabulous fan club gallery, click here. Being a "Dirty Girl" is a huge honor and everyone at Gina K. Designs want to send out congratulations to Jennifer on her new position!

Today's project is so beautiful! I absolutely love it when a designer finds a way to take a stamp set that was created for one type of project making and shows us a whole new way to use it.

Another stamp set that Jennifer chose to use was "Botanical Dreams," a set created by Asela Hopkins. This is truly one of my favorite sets but I have never thought to use it for my Christmas cards!



Jennifer used the sprig of greenery stamp and added some little red berries. With a tie of some beautiful red ribbon, the sentiment "Believe" (which is in that stamp set,) and some designer paper, Jennifer created a beautiful, elegant Christmas card! 

Card details
Stamps- Botanical Dreams
Card stock- Stampin up Very Vanilla and Real Red
Patterned paper- Stampin' up (retired)
Other- Red ribbon from Target, Copic Markers, Liquid Pearls

If you liked today's project, you will love what Jennifer has created for tomorrow! Also, tomorrow, I will post her biography so you can get to know this designer a little better!

Hugs,
Gina K.

I am so excited to have Jennifer Buck as this month's guest designer. I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer at the CHA where she was helping out in the Unity Booth. She is just the sweetest thing alive!

We usually plan our guest designer spots pretty far in advance and I was so happy to see the timely projects that Jennifer created. She has a beautifu, clean style and I'm sure you will be as impressed to see her projects as I was.

Today's project is the perfect piece of home decor for the upcoming Halloween season. When Jennifer chose her stamps, she picked last year's Halloween set called "Happy Haunting" and created this fabulous jar.



I love this! My kids are always reaching in some draw for a bag of jelly beans or candy corn that has spilled out everywhere. This is a great way to keep your loose fall favorites ready and displayed.

I love the wire that she used on the top along with those spooky eyes on the tag.

 

I had to giggle when I saw how the two eyes were different sizes. That's even more spooky! I really like how she highlighted the word 'spooktacular.' It really ties the tag in with those yummy orange jelly beans.

Project details
Apothecary Jar from Michael's
Stamps- Happy Haunting by Gina K. Designs
Ink- Black Stazon
Cardstock- Black and white (mfg. unknown)
Other- Copic marker, ribbon from the Flower Factory, black wire (mfg. unknown)

]]> Our final day with Amy Grabia tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-06-15:ca489e54-f17d-4241-97e3-c34ad9f5b957 Gina Krupsky 2008-06-15T20:10:42Z 2008-06-15T19:43:00Z

It's always sad to when it's our last day with our fabulous guest designers. And saying goodbye to Amy Grabia is no exception! I have two adorable projects to share with you today.

The first project is an adorable card created with our "Make a Wish" stamp set. ($7.00 of the purchase of every "Make a Wish" stamp set goes to the Make a Wish Foundation. )



I love the graceful stitching and mixed ribbons on this card. It adds such a nice touch.

The second project is so creative! Amy came up with a matching way to present a gift.



I love how Amy used the woodgraining technique to create this adorable wishing well gift basket. Wouldn't that be a cute center piece for a baby shower or bridal shower? Amy really has outdone herself with this project.

Wishing you well card
Paper- SU! Designer Series Paper - Spring Fling, Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink
Ink- Basic Black Classic Ink
Other- Pink Gingham ribbon, Prisma Colored Pencils, Gina K. Odorless Mineral Spirits, American Crafts Brown Polka dot ribbon

3-D wishing well
Isn't this just the cutest way to wrap up a gift?! I made the base using some thin chip board, I don't know where it came from it was just here in my craft room. I covered it in Close to Cocoa card stock that I used Gina's wood grain technique on. I cut the c/s in to strips to look like wooden planks for the base.

I tied some very Vanilla 5/8" grosgrain ribbon around it, tucked in a little gift I picked up at Wal~Mart, and put in some blue tissue paper. It was super easy to do, and took maybe 20 minutes total to make, including the 5-6 minutes it took to find the tissue paper in my stash in the basement. lol!

Amy has been so delightful to work with. She is a very professional and is loaded with creativity! I wish Amy the best of luck with all of her future design team pursuits.

If you would like to be a Gina K. Designs guest designer, please submit 3 projects to us for consideration. Mail the projects to: Gina K. Designs, P.O. Box 164, McFarland, WI 53558.
Please enclosed a SASE if you'd like your projects returned.

Have a wonderful day!

"I am a Canadian Domestic Goddess (aka stay at home mom) to a VERY active little boy, married to the love of my life, and a hobby SU! Demo

My love of all things arts and crafts comes from my both of my parents who have a love of drawing, and crafting. Many happy memories were made at my mothers side while we were creating something....anything. From the cookies we would decorate at Christmas, to the doll clothes I would "help" her sew, It was always a creative adventure.

I first discovered stamping just after my son was born 4 1/2 years ago. A friend invited me to a Stampin’ Up! workshop in her home. I had never seen any thing like it, and it inspired me to try my hand at it. I tried it, and I loved it! Now four years later I am teaching classes in my home, and at my local library, sharing my love of all things crafty with everyone, and anyone who will listen. It’s an addiction I hope to continue, for a very long time.

I got a call last fall from Gina, and I was so stunned, and star struck, I was speechless. As she continued talking I realized she was asking me to design some projects for her! Oh my word! It still astounds me that she would chose me from the millions that submitted things, little ol' me from rural Canada. I was so excited I couldn't wait! Thanks Gina for believing in me, and giving me this wonderful opportunity. I hope I can do your amazing company, and stamps justice."

Welcome to Day 2 with June's guest designer, Amy Grabia! I have three adorable projects to show you today.

Amy sent me so many project photos, it was hard to decide what to show you first. Since it's almost summer, I was thrilled that Amy chose some Gina K. Designs summer stamps. The sandcastle is from our "Just Be-claws" stamp set and Amy made this adorable card just in time for the warm weather. She used a great color combination- just perfect for a day at the beach!



Card details-
Stamps- Just Be Claws
Paper- Stampin' Up! Ballet Blue, Real Red, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White
Ink- Stampin' Up! Ballet Blue, Apricot Appeal, Basic Black

Other- Red Gingham ribbon , corner rounder to made the scalloped edge on the red cardstock, 1/16" punch, prisma colored pencils, Gina K. Odorless Mineral Spirits

I wanted a star stamp to stamp on the apricot, because it kinda looked like sand, and I thought star fish would be cute with the sand castle, but I didn't have one. I was a little surprised, I love stars and I didn't own even one star stamp, I had to improvise and get creative. I took a white eraser and my exacto knife and I made my own stamp, it worked out GREAT! I've got a few erasers now that I no longer use as eraser, but stamps. Try it, it works.


The second project is actually a set of two. Amy created this adorable little bag of coffee! What a great use of Rupa Shevde's "Thinking of You" stamp set!



I love how bright and cheerful this project is and the matching card is just as cute!



I love the stitching around those circles. This is such a creative sketch!

Project details-
Hat to thank you card 
Card stock- SU! Regal Rose, River Rock card stock, Vanilla, Designer Series Paper Ginger Blossom
Ink- River Rock, Regal Rose, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
Other- Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon

The hat image was colored using a blender pen and the Classic inks. I also used my sewing machine on the edges of the circles and the DP

Coffee Bag
Card stock- Stampin' Up! Vanilla, River Rock, Designer Series Paper Ginger Blossom
Ink- Stampin' Up! Close to cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Groovy Guava, Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana
Other- Regal Rose Grosgrain ribbon, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Ranger Liquid Pearls - Pink, brown coffee from local bulk store.

I love making gift sets to give away if I am invited anywhere, or just because, and Rupa's "Thinking Of You" set is just perfect. I used a brown coffee bag I found at a local health food store, and stuffed it full of Hazelnut Vanilla Coffee beans. They smell heavenly, and I don't even like coffee. lol! If you make a gift of any kind it always needs a coordinating card, right?! For the circles I just used my coluzzle to cut different sizes

Tomorrow is our final day with Amy. I have two more projects to share and you will learn a little bit more about this creative designer.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Gina K.

The first project I am going to share is just the cutest thing! Amy created the most adorable card using the "Way to go!" stamp set.



I love how the little door opens to that funny surprise! I also love the dots going around everything. It adds just the right touch. Her coloring is just perfect too.

Card details-

]]> Our final day with Cathy Indelicato tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-05-10:a76960eb-c480-4d47-a098-38357bd17c26 Gina Krupsky 2008-05-10T20:38:36Z 2008-05-10T20:05:00Z Day 3



Cathy Indelicato has been such a fun guest designer! I' so sad to see her time with us come to an end.
And today's projects are both so adorable!

To begin, Cathy created a cute little tin. Look at all of that gorgeous detail!



When I opened this picture on my computer, the first thing I thought was how cute this would be to keep shells and other baubles you might find at the shore. Then, I opened the second picture Cathy sent me, and look!



She filled it with shore baubles!!  LOL!

Project details from Cathy
Life is…tin:
Stamps: GinaK – Just Keep Swimming
Melanie Muenchinger – What’s In Your Tin – 2
Altoid tin
Paper: Patterned paper - Target, water color
Kraft cardstock
Ink: black craft
Other: Twill tape, dew drops, two-sided tape, clear embossing powder, sewing machine/thread, clear embossing powder, markers/aqua painter, pop dots, shells, netting, sand paper

Every year when we go to the beach, regardless of my girls ages, they always go searching for stones and shells…by the end of the day they have a bag full of shells/stones that becomes too hard to carry back to the car and it ends up making a big mess of sand in our car! So, to help curb that I made a special tin for each of them to put just the really cool/special shells/stones into. We’ll see if it works!!!!

For Cathy's second project, she created another piece of home decor.



This is such a beauty. It's so elegant. I think this would make a great gift of encouragement and would look great with most home decor.

Project details
Hope Topiary:
Stamps: GinaK – Spring Blooms
Rupa Shevde – Thinking of You
Plaque – recycled!
Paper: brown cardstock, watercolor paper
Patterned paper – DieCutsWithaView (DCWV)
Ink – chocolate chip
Other: Pop dots, Making Memories antiqued brads, SU! Linen thread, Markers for coloring, Copic marker – warm gray no. 1 for outline of topiary

It has been such an honor to work with Cathy as a guest designer. With the many design teams she's already serving on, she still found time to create beautiful projects for our guest designer spot and I have enjoyed every single one of them so much!

We always ask our guest designers to send us a bio. Below, I have included Cathy's so you can get to know her a little better.

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Cathy Indelicato, otherwise known as stamper-c on Splitcoaststampers! I am very honored to be Gina’s guest designer for May. I think I went into shock when she called and suddenly couldn’t form complete sentences!!! I am currently a work at home/stay at home mom of two girls 11 and 8. My husband and I will be married 16 years on May 16! Wow, time flies! We live in beautiful New England – within an hour of New York City.

I started stamping in 2001 at my local library and was hooked immediately. I’ve always loved crafts but this particular one has taken over an extra room in the house so I guess it’s here to stay! My obsession first started with scrapbooking but that has taken a back seat, at least for a little while!

I have been very fortunate to add several design teams to my resume in the past year or so. I currently design for DRS Designs, All That Scraps – Senior Team, A Chemistry With Paper and JessicaLynnOrignal. I’m also looking forward to seeing my work in print in the upcoming months. I’ve been blogging for almost two years now and it has become an integral part of my day – something I never would have expected. I really enjoy all the inspiration I’ve found through all the great blogs that have surfaced and I hope you’ll come visit me at Crafty Thoughts.

Thanks so much Gina for this wonderful opportunity.

Cathy

Like any good over-achiever, Cathy sent me way more than the requested three projects! And every single project was so creative. You all know how much I love cards, but I am also excited when our guest designers send other types of projects too.

As if yesterday's stitched project wasn't creative enough, today, I thrilled to show you some jewelry that Cathy created.



Cathy used the Spring Blooms stamp set to create this beautiful necklace.

Project details:
Especially for you…Mom:

Stamps: Melanie Muenchinger – What’s In Your Tin – 2, GinaK – Spring Blooms
Paper – two-sided gloss paper (one side gloss/one side black) – no source
Ink: black craft, black Staz-on
Shrink Plastic
Other: clear embossing powder, ribbon – Offray, gold chain (Walmart), red/green markers, jewel, gold leaf pen, colored pencils, Velcro

Note: I stamped the rose on the rough side of the shrink plastic and then stamped "Mom" on the slick side so it wouldn’t be backwards when worn on the chain.

To make the holder: cut cardstock 8.5in. X 3in. Score at 3in. and 7in. Round corners of top (smaller) flap. Cut two diagonal slits in the top of the larger flap. This will hold the chain so the necklace can be displayed. The rest of the chain will lie inside your holder. Add a snip of Velcro or a magnetic catch to keep the holder closed.




This really makes such a pretty gift. I love the little holder she made for it too! I just want to go get out some shrink plastic and play.

Cathy's second project for today is a card created with the same stamp set- Spring Blooms.



I love her delicate machine stitching and her interesting sketch.

Project Details
Thanks Card:
Stamps: GinaK – Spring Blooms
Paper: Linen Cardstock – Paper Bouquet – Target
Patterned paper – Splendor/Rhonna Farrer/Autumn Leaves
Brown/teal cardstock – Paperbilities
Ink – Chocolate chip
Other: Pop dots, satin ribbon – Target, sewing machine/thread

I love the way she punched that little half circle to make room for the word. That's a great idea because so many times you have the right word but not quite enough room. This opens up so many more possibilities!

Tomorrow, I will show you Cathy's final projects and you will get to read a little more about this fabulous artist!

I am so excited to present May's Guest designer, Cathy Indelicato. Cathy is so talented! When she sent me her projects, the very first project I opened just blew me away! I had never seen this done before and I was so excited to see how well this image worked!



Cathy created this beautiful piece of home decor using a stamp from the stamp set "Simple Pleasures."

Project details from Cathy:

Stitchery:

Stamps: GinaK – Simple Pleasures

Frame – Target

Paper: Provo Craft

Other: Ribbon – Offray, Charm – Oriental Trading Company, Sewing machine/thread, Muslin fabric, DMC floss

Ink – Gray (stamping image on fabric)

Note: My first craft project/hobby was embroidery, which I learned at a young age. As much as I love stamping/scrapbooking/papercrafting, I always fall back on sewing! I always thought this image would be perfect for stitching so I just had to give it a try!




Look at how beautiful this is up close! I love how delicate Cathy's outline stitching is and how she used more than one color thread! This is such a creative use of rubber stamps. It totally changes the way I am looking at my entire collection. These can be such fun little projects for road trips this summer. I just love this!

Stop by tomorrow to see another fabulous project created by Cathy and don't forget to visit her blog for more creative inspiration.

Hugs,
Gina K.


]]> Our final day with Christina Fischer tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-04-17:234ad1ee-a6a9-40a5-b824-32faa199f5d9 Gina Krupsky 2008-04-17T03:46:19Z 2008-04-17T03:23:00Z

Christina Fischer has been such a pleasure to work with! She's a bit of an over-achiever! LOL! When I asked her to send me three projects, she flooded my email box with inspiration and every project was better than the last!

Her final project with us is a 3-D creation. She made this adorable picture frame filled with a picture of her beautiful children. (I can't believe she had four! She looks too young to have any out of diapers!)



This is just too cute for words! I love how she added all the fishy details and she used one of my favorite embellishments- hemp cording. Nothing says "the beach" like a little hemp cording and a real seashell.

She added a few glitter dots and then she really jazzed up the fish!



Here coloring alone is gorgeous but then, she added all of that fabulous glitter and those little sea creatures really came to life! I love how they coordinate with the glitter dots. Very creative!

Project details:
Fishy Frame
8x8 unfinished wood frame (purchased at Michaels)
Stamps: Just Keep Swimming (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black (Tsukineko), Basic Black (SU!)
Paper: Hit The Beach - Beachy Keen (Flair Designs)
Other: Copic Markers; Lemon Lime Glitter Dots (Jesse James); Versamark, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sanding Block, Natural Hemp Twine, stamping sponge (SU!); seashell

Christina is so talented and she's super sweet! All of her projects have been top notch! I am honored to have had an opportunity to work with her for our guest designer spot. Check out her blog for much more inspiration.  

Below is a little bio that Christina put together for you.
Thanks so much for stopping by and we'll see you back here next month with another fabulous guest designer!

Hi, everyone!

I'm Christina Fischer. You may know me better as cmf1216. I am thrilled and honored to be April's Guest Designer! I have been married to my very supportive husband Chris for almost 18 years, and I am blessed to be a SAHM to our four children -- a boy and three girls -- ages 15, 13, 6 and 4. We live in northern Kentucky, about 5 miles south of Cincinnati. I was an elementary school teacher before I had my children, and I hope to return to the classroom someday!

I think I've always been into crafty things, but when I attended my friend Ann's Stampin' Up! workshop in 2001 I was hooked! My SU! demo (now my upline) introduced me to Splitcoaststampers, and things just took off from there! Thanks, Robin! I am constantly blown away by all the incredible talent out there, and I learn something new every day! Last summer I took the plunge into blogging, and I'm loving it! Come and visit me any time at my blog, Flowers and Ink (http://flowersandink.blogspot.com).

I am currently on the Senior Design Team for All That Scraps, and I've recently had my first publications. I feel so fortunate that I get to do something every day that I love, and that I can share my creations with others. I'm so thankful for the many friends I've made along the way. I can't thank Gina enough for asking me to be her Guest Designer -- getting that phone call from her was so exciting! I had so much fun working with her stamps!

Hugs to all of you!

Christina

]]> Day 2 with Christina Fischer tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-04-15:2bb41e90-8e51-425e-8d76-63f2960b5653 Gina Krupsky 2008-04-15T22:26:49Z 2008-04-15T21:55:00Z

Today, I am pleased to share two more exciting projects created by Christina Fischer.
 
My Mom just celebrated her 81st birthday! I really enjoy picking presents out for her because she loves perfume, baskets, purses and everything in between. But this year, she told me that all she really wanted was a gift card to the local gas station! Although that may not be the most glamorous gift, it's what she really wanted and with the price of gas, I suppose it helps her get to BINGO so, I got her the card. The trick, then, became how to package it so it was still a fun little gift to open.

Well, Christina figured that one out for me.



This CD tin is so great!

(These CD tins are available in our online store. You can store stamp sets and nestabilities in them or you can use them as the perfect gift card holder! We have these in our store under "things to alter.")

I love the way Christina wrapped the actual gift card with ribbon and then used our 'punchy words' stamp set to create the inside circle with 'happy birthday 2 you.'  

Card details:
Birthday Tin
CD Tin with gift card insert (Gina K. Designs)
Stamps: How Sweet it is, Punchy Words (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Pixie Pink, Summer Sun (SU!)
Stampin' Write Markers: Taken With Teal, Pixie Pink, Summer Sun (SU!)
Paper: Birthday Party (Junkitz)
Other: Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Mega Circle Punch (Marvy Uchida); Prima flowers; Bling and Dazzle Button Babies - Brights (Gina K. Designs); Scalloped Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Dazz ling Diamonds Glitter, Stampin' Dimensionals, stamping sponge (SU!); White Gel Exel pen (Marvy); stitched grosgrain ribbon (Michaels Stores); Liquid Applique, Crystal Effects

Note: There is Crystal Effects on the cake plate, DD glitter on the candle flame, and Liquid Applique/DD glitter on the cake frosting.

The next project is such a beautiful card.



This card just knocked my socks off! I love every single detail here. Look at the beautiful layout and how interesting the rounded corners make the focal point of this card. I really like the way Christina turned the greeting on it's side. The use of her sewing machine adds an extra bit of warmth to the card. And of course, Christina's coloring is just beautiful.

Card details:
Wish Card
Stamps: Simple Pleasures (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Basic Brown, Cameo Coral, Ruby Red, Old Olive, Soft Sky (SU!)

Gina K.

I am so excited to have Christina Fischer as this month's guest designer. Christina sent me a whole bunch of fabulous projects to share with you!

Christina has got so much personality, just perfect for the Gina K. Designs guest designer spot! Her first card uses one of my favorite Gina K. Designs sets, "How sweet it is," our stamp set for diabetes.



I love the color combination Christina used for this card! It's so perfect for a baby boy. One of the things that makes a designer great is their ability to use many elements on a card, yet not make it feel too busy. Christina has executed that task perfectly with her use of brads, buttons and ribbon on this project.

Card details:
Baby Card
Stamps: How Sweet it is! (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Barely Banana (SU!)
Cardstock: Blue Bayou, Whisper White (SU!)
Paper: Two Scoops (BasicGrey)
Other: Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Mega Circle Punch (Marvy Uchida); On Board Accents chipboard star, Rich Regals brads, Aquapainter, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sanding Block, stamping sponge, paper piercing tool (SU!); Two Scoops button (BasicGrey); narrow white organdy ribbon (Offray); sewing machine, white thread

The second project for today uses our "Baskets of Happiness" stamp set. Look at the beautiful way Christina used her Copic markers to color these flowers. I love the yellow she used. The flowers seem to glow! They're so vibrant and rich.



The beautiful way she pierced each of those scallops along the edge is such an elegant touch.

Card details:
Basket of Happiness Card
Stamps: Baskets of Happiness (Gina K. Designs)

Tomorrow, I wil show you another fabulous project by Christina and on Thursday, Christina will tell you a little bit more about herself.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Gina K.


]]> Our final day with Julie Campbell tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-03-16:370731fd-a3dc-4f77-82bd-6fb56f68653a Gina Krupsky 2008-03-17T06:10:28Z 2008-03-16T21:11:00Z I'm sad to see it end! Julie has been such a fabulous guest designer and I just love today's project. Julie asked me if she could make a little wooden tote box that we sell at Gina K. Designs. I really love when designers do 3-D stuff. I love the ideas and this one is no exception.



What an adorable little wooden Easter Basket. It's just perfect to give to a friend or coworker filled with jellybeans or candy eggs.

I love the way Julie aged the wooden tote. And her tag is just adorable.

Project details:

Easter Basket
 
I was so excited when I found these adorable wooden boxes while I was browsing Gina K's website!  I like to antique furniture, so I thought I would try a similar technique on this project.  I began by painting the box with light aqua acrylic craft paint.  After it was dry, I added a coat of Ranger Distress Crackle Paint.  To add some distressing, I sanded some of the corners and edges of the box down to bare wood.  For the final step, I applied Tea Dye Ranger Distress Ink over the entire piece.  I love how it stains the cracks and bare wood.
 
Recipe:
 
Stamps:
- Baskets of Happiness
- Scalloped Frames & Doodles (Large Circles)
 
Paper:
- Butter Cream & Frosted Teal Prismatic card stock by Prism
 
Ink:
- Graphite Black Brilliance Ink

Accessories:
- Wooden Basket by Gina K
- Old Paper Ranger Distress Crackle Paint
- Large oval punch by SU
- Copic Markers
- Marvy Mega Circle Punch/Giga Scalloped Circle Punch
- light aqua acrylic craft paint
- twine


Julie has done a fabulous job as our guest designer of the month. She created beautiful projects, some with spunk, that really showcased more of the fabulous ways you can use Gina K. Designs stamps.
Thanks so much Julie! Much love to you!
Below, you can read more about this incredible lady in her own words.

Hi!  My name is Julie Campbell.  Some of you might know me from my blog, Stamped In His Image.  I am a mom of two energetic boys (6 & 2) and also work as an operating room nurse at a pediatric hospital.  We live in a small, rural town in Indiana.  When you're surrounded by cornfields, it's good to have a hobby!  Like a lot of people, paper crafting is my therapy! 
 
I really feel like everyone is born with creativity.  I had an art teacher in elementary school that really believed in me and encouraged me to work on my 'art'.  Over the years, I've done everything from quilting to painting to pottery... but when I discovered stamping a few years ago, I knew I had found my niche. I love sending cards to people and finding out that it really meant something to them. It's amazing how much you can touch someone's life just by doing what you love.

Visit Julie's blog for more inspiration!
]]> Julie Campbell- Day 2 tag:guestdesigner.ginakdesigns.com,2008-03-15:a54e55d0-f094-4d88-a557-b206c715aa2f Gina Krupsky 2008-03-15T20:23:43Z 2008-03-15T19:37:00Z Day 2 brings another fabulous project by Julie Campbell that really made me giggle!

We always let our guest designers choose three stamp sets that they want to work with. I knew Julie had a great sense of humor when two of the sets she chose were from our "Tickle your funny bone" line.


Julie made this super cute little gift box she called a "Chiclets pull box." Then she said that maybe it should be called a "pulling teeth box." LOL! (Maybe not the perfect gift for someone with dentures but definitely a great gag gift.)



If you wanted to change up the greeting, this would be such a cute tote filled with toothpaste, a new toothbrush, floss and sugar-free gum to give to teens or tweens who just got their braces off. (We've been through that celebration twice!) Or, if you wanted to be funny, you could fill it with Poli-grip denture cream. (You have to make sure the recipient has a great sense of humor too, like my 88 year old Dad who helped me design this stamp set.)



The way Julie wrapped the pack of Chiclets makes it easy to pull the little gift out of the box.



I love this little tote and I think Julie did a great job making us chuckle today!

Project detals
Chiclets Box
"When Gina released her "You Know You're Old When..." set, I literally laughed out loud at my computer screen!  I love the image of the false teeth and thought it would be funny to package up some Chiclets to go with the theme.  When you pull the ribbon at the top of the box, the gum package comes along with it to reveal the punch line."

Day 1


The very first time I clicked on Julie Campbell's blog, "Stamped in His Image," I knew Julie was special. Just the name of her blog alone told me so much about this fabulous designer and where her heart is.

One of things I love about Julie is her fantastic sense of humor. I knew I was in for it when two of the stamp sets she chose were our two "Tickle your Funny Bone" sets. I could only imagine what she would come up with using our "Way to Go" stamp set and Julie really blew me away with this project!



Isn't that the sweetest thing!! LOL! I love how she made the little magnetic rolls of toilet paper "color coded" to reward her little one for both types of accomplishments!



Julie laminated this chart and used a magnetic sheet on the back. Her little rolls each have a circle magnet on the back. Imagine how much fun this would be for any child to celebrate their successes!

This project really shows how compassionate Julie is. To take the time to make something like this for your child to encourage them is so wonderful. Although I am very glad my girls are WAY past this point, I will be thinking about which of my friends could use a little chart like this for their little one and I will be casing it very soon! LOL!

Project details:
Way to Go!  Potty Chart
 
I think I am going to get a LOT of use out of this set!  LOL!  Living in a house full of boys, bathroom humor is definitely appreciated by my family.  My youngest is potty training right now and I thought these images would make some great motivation!  The base of this chart is made from an Avery magnet sheet, so it clings perfectly onto the refrigerator door.  Every time my son makes a trip to the bathroom, he gets to add a 'color coded' toilet paper magnet to his chart.

It makes me sad to see our time end with Carole Burrage as our guest designer of the month.  Carole is a talented and creative rubber stamper and her final project is fabulous!



Isn't this adorable! Here is Carole's inspiration for this project. This is by far my favorite inspiration!

Cruise Cash
"I can’t wait to go on the stamp cruise with Gina K., PaperTrey Ink, and Stamping Bella!  I got the idea to make this little bank from my good friend and future cabin-mate, Kristi.  She’s so smart – she’s paying herself $5.00 for every load of laundry she washes, folds, and puts away between now and the cruise; isn’t that a great idea?  And wouldn’t that $$$ go perfectly in this cute little bank?  It’s just a little paper mache box that I decoupaged in a patchwork of patterned paper to make a seascape for the images from Just Keep Swimming."

Project details:
Cruise Cash Bank
Stamps: Just Keep Swimming by Gina K. Designs 
Paper: Georgia Pacific White, patterned paper by Flair, adhesive sand 
paper by Creative Memories
Ink: Brilliance Archival Graphite Black, Cool Carribean for sponging edges of patterned paper
Accessories: 
round paper mache box from Hobby Lobby, Copic Sketch markers, 
chipboard letters by Thickers, starfish and sand dollar from Hobby 
Lobby, Mod Podge, black artist's pen (for drawing bills in gull's mouth).

Carole thinks of everything! I am going to start paying myself for laundry too! Then, when we hit the first port on our cruise, I can do a little shopping of my own! You can use this idea for stamp supplies too! Hey, 8 loads of laundry a month buys you $40.00 in stamping stuff according to this plan. AND, you'd pay a lot more than that to have your laundry done for you. Way to go Carole!!!

I have really enjoyed having Carole Burrage as our guest designer this month. We are always looking for new guest designers so don't forget to submit your projects for consideration.

Send 3 of your best projects to:
Gina K. Designs
P.O. Box 164
McFarland, WI 53558
(Send an SASE if you want your projects returned.)

We'll let you know if you've been accepted for our guest designer of the month spot!

I always like to finish up with a little biography written by the artist. Thanks Carole! It's been a blast, and thank you all for coming by and letting Carole share her Gina K. Designs projects with you.

Hugs,
Gina K.

************************************************

Hi!  My name is Carole Burrage, also known as TruCarMa on Splitcoast Stampers.  I live in Claremore, Oklahoma, with my husband, Sean, sons (Truman, age 11, and Carter, age 3), and two big ol’ dogs.  I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for the past two years; before that I was an assistant professor at a local university.
 
I began stamping as an off-shoot of scrapbooking in September of 2006, and I was hooked immediately.  Since then, my scrapping supplies have gotten a little dusty and my craft room has been commandeered by all things rubber and ink.  Like many of you, stamping is my personal therapy, or as I like to call it, my “Mother’s Little Helper” (also the name of my blog, which you can find at http://motherslittlehelper.typepad.com).
 
I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with Gina K’s awesome stamps, and I’m a huge fan of hers, as I know all of you are.  I can’t wait to meet her in person on the Stamping Cruise next fall!  In the meantime, it’s been an honor and a privilege to be her Guest Designer.
 
Stamping hugs to all!
Carole

Carole Burrage is not only known for her stamping talent but she's also well know for her fabulous sense of humor. I just about died laughing when I opened this particular project. When Carole asked if she could use Carolyn King's "Dr. Feelgood" stamp set, I said, "Sure!" That set is pretty cute and funny all on it's own. But I had no idea what Carole was going to do with this set!



Bwahhhhh! Too funny! (Carole actually thought I might not want to put this card up! LOL! Me? The girl who drew a toilet and a plunger. You can't scare me Carole! LOL!)

Read Carole's inspiration for this project:

Dr. Love
"I knew when I saw Carolyn King’s “Dr. Feelgood” set that I had to use it in honor of my good friend, Cammie.  Carolyn is one of my great stamping friends, and well, we love to give each other a hard time.  And, as Carolyn knows, I love to use stamps in ways they might not have been originally intended… As I was looking at the good rubber doctor, I started humming that oldie-but-goodie by KISS, “Dr. Love.”  When the muse knocks, you have to let her in, and this card was the result."

This card is just too adorable. I love Carole's "outside the box" approach and, if you ask me, I think she is an awesome artist! This card looks just like that guy!

Card details:
Dr. Love card: Stamps: Dr. Feelgood by Gina K. Designs
Paper: mauve cardstock by Bazzill, Georgia Pacific Black, Basic Black, Basic Gray, 
patterned paper by Paper Studio
Ink: Brilliance Archival Graphite Black
Accessories: Copic Sketch and Spica markers, velvet flower w/brad (unknown source), computer generated sentiment using Die Nasty free font from www.dafont.com, Dimensionals.

I am sad to say that tomorrow is our last day with Carole and she has been a BLAST to work with! Make sure you stop back tomorrow to see Carole's final project meet this talented artist.

Hugs,
Gina K.
