Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

One great thing about being a CTMH consultant is our early 1 month preview to the new catalog!  I received my new catalog at the Seasonal Expressions 2 Launch I hosted (another perk) and all I can say right now is WOW!!!  So many great papers, stamps and more!  Here's a peek at the cover of this new catalog! I immediately loved all four of the new Cardmaking Workshop Your Way kits!  I loved them so much that I wanted to do another Summer Virtual Card Class!   I've done 2 other sessions of virtual cardmaking classes and they were so much fun!  If you did not participate, here is how my virtual class works.  (This year I'm adding a 2nd option) Option 1 - Pre-Cut Option.   Place your order for the class kit with me.  I'll submit the order, it will ship to me. I'll pre-cut the kit and ship to you! The cost of this option is $30.  This includes shipping to you priority mail.  Everything you need is in the kit except for...

Welcome to our Love Blossoms Blog Hop! This special hop features our exclusive stamp - Love Blossoms! This is a set of TWO stamps! If you came from Michelle Loncar's Blog you are on the right track! If you are just starting the hop, it is a big circle so when you get back to me, you will know you finished the hop! You will find the next blog to hop to at the bottom of my post! Although you can purchase this stamp set as part of a workshop kit, (instructions for the cards shown above can be downloaded from my website), you can purchase JUST the stamp set!  It has lovely sentiments and the flowers stamp beautifully!  So I think it is a must have for your stamp inventory!  I've created a few cards with this stamp but I created one that I wanted to feature specifically in this hop because it is a little different from the other I created. I cut a 4 x 5 1/2 piece of White Daisy Cardstock and then stamped the flowers in Charcoal around the edges making sur...

                                      Welcome to the March Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring This Happened . If you have come here from  Jayma Malme's Blog , you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE . It is easy to see that this stamp set would be great for journaling!  I changed up the layout in the So Much Happy Workshop on the Go and used this stamp set in place of the journaling lines that were added to the right page layout. I also added a few stamped sentiments from the set.  Can you find the ones I added? This is certainly a set that can be used over and over!!  Remember! It's only available during the month of March!  Get it for just $5 wi...

Welcome to our Thin Cuts Blog Hop!  This hop features our newest Thin Cuts that are available in the Seasonal Expressions 1 catalog!  If you came from  Wendy Kessler's Blog  you are on the right track!  If you are just starting the hop, it is a big circle so when you get back to me, you will know you finished the hop!  You will find the next blog to hop to at the bottom of my post! I chose to feature two new thin cuts.  First, I chose the Budding Peony Stamp + Thin Cuts.  I stamped the flower in Charcoal Ink and then colored it with the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush.  The center of the peony was colored with the Gold Shimmer Brush.  The leaves were colored with the Sap Green ShinHan Touch Twin Marker.  The picture does not show the shimmer of the peony which is really pretty!  I layered the flowers on top of the Stitched Rectangle Frames of Linen and Ballerina Cardstock.  The lovely Feels Like Home Paper is used f...

Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Heartfelt Sentiments .  If you have come here from Haley Dyer's Blog , you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE . I felt like most people would think this stamp belongs on a scrapbook page because it is so big but I wanted to show that you can use it on a card too!  My card really is pretty simple!  If you love to color, then you will love this set! I stamped the large image two times with Charcoal ink. First, onto a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white cardstock and then onto a scrap piece of cardstock.  Because I used ShinHan Touch Twin markers, I did not stamp the image directly onto the card to color.  The markers do bleed through to the other side.  After coloring the flowers and leaves, I tied some...
