The Vine and All Occasion Tags Inspiration Hop

Hello there! Today the Gina K Designs Team is blog hopping with inspiration for two of our newest stamp sets from the release this past week, The Vine and All Occasion Tags. My first card features images from The Vine, a set illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger. The gorgeous images in this set are so beautifully detailed and you know how much I love nature stamps! I'll share the step by step photos for this card in a few days.

Next up is a fabulous new set from Tami Mayberry, All Occasion Tags. The images and sentiments in this set are designed to coordinate with Spellbinder's Grommet Tags Shapeabilities dies. What a great set that can stand alone or combine with your favorite focal images!

For more inspiration, be sure to check out what the rest of the team has to show you...

To make the tag card, I stamped the dotted tag image with Stazon Jet Black ink.

Then I cut out the tag with my Cutterbee scissors and sponged with Memento Rose Bud ink.

Stamped the sentiment, also with Stazon Jet Black.

I cut an layer with my Labels One Nestabilities and sponged with Memento Rose Bud while it was still in the die.

I stamped the silhouette branches, from Whimsical Wishes, with Memento Rose Bud, but stamped off once on scratch paper before stamping on my background, to make the image lighter.

For the next layer, I again sponged Memento Rose Bud ink.

Then I stamped the swirly image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink to make custom pattern paper to match my card. I didn't worry about filling in the center since I knew it would be covered up with another layer.

I layered the tag image with Spellbinder's Fancy Tag die shape, cut from Pure Luxury Passionate Pink. Doesn't it work so well with this set, too?! That went on top of the Labels One layer. The custom pattern paper was layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and the card base is Passionate Pink.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic day and hope to see you again for tomorrow's hop!
