Hello! It's the final day of inspiration hops from Gina K Designs. Today we are featuring the new Free With Three stamp set, along with two more new duos mini sets. I love the clean, elegant look of the free with three set, called Inspiration Blocks.
Next up is a duo, called Master Butterfly. This bold line butterfly is so beautiful! For my tag I used a portion of the sentiment, and the word "grow" from Inspiration Blocks. These two sets go together so beautifully.
Next up is the fun duo, Just Calling To Say. I stamped the phone image in Memento London Fog, then the sentiment with Tuxedo Black. The designer paper is GKD, Vintage Chic.
For more inspiration, be sure to click through to see what the rest of the design team has to show you...
For my card, I cut a card base using Pure Luxury Kraft. Since I was stamping directly on my card base, I added the score line, but didn't fold yet. The score line allowed me to see the area I was working with, so I could position my stamping, yet it still laid flat to be easier to work with than if I had already folded the base.
I lined up all three of the Inspiration Block silhouette images on my long acrylic block. I love this block from Gina K. The grid lines help so much! I stamped the images onto my card base, using Stazon Opaque White ink.
Next, I used Memento Bahama Blue Marker to fill in the open lines of the butterfly, and Bamboo Leaves to fill in the open lines of the foliage images.
Used my N1 and N2 Copic markers to add a drop shadow along the bottom and left side edges of the blocks.
I stamped the sentiment, then added score lines above and below using my Scor-Buddy, then added some self adhesive nail heads to accent.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Awesome designs T! Love how you showed to give those block images color!
Wonderful, love the use of the DP on the last one and the blocks and tag on craft looks fab :-)
Beautiful! The blocks on the craft are so pretty and I really like the dp and the way you placed the ribbon on the phone card.
Love your cards and tag. Love how you created depth with the blocks and the DP with the phone card is perfect.
Omgosh, love the optical illusion! wish my white pad weren't all dried up, wahh! The others are gorgeous, too!
love your projects. thanks for sharing

Love the simplicity of your butterfly tag.
Great cards and tag.

Beautiful cards and tags!
I love you dream card.
Such pretty cards! Love the clean designs!
Love the design on the block card. Absolutely lovely.
Simply exquisite! Love both your card and the tag. Beautiful.
STUNNING!!! Thanks for showing step by step!!! I didn't realize that you colored in the shadow...I thought they were popped up. I would love to try that technique!!! Thanks for showing opaque, I didn't know how it looked!!! Gorgeous card with these stamps!!!
Everyone's using Kraft paper this time around. I need to get some. i totally love your inspirational blocks. I would never have guessed they weren't cut and popped up. they look totally three dimensional!
Great cards. I can't wait to try to do something similar - so inspirational.
Thanks for demonstrating an entirely different take on this stamp set!
I am amazed that you used copic markers to create the drop shadow. From just looking at the card I thought you had popped the squares on foam tape. It really looks so three dimensional.
I, too, am in awe of using shading to create the 'popped' look of the tiled squares! I learn so much from you. I just have to get over my fear of using kraft paper, and stamping onto it :) how lovely your cards are!
Beautiful card and tag. Thanks so much for sharing the instructions.
How cool! I love how you made those blocks looked popped up!
THese are just gorgeous. I also like the popped up blocks
It's so fun to see the different interpretations of using these sets. Love the triptych layout and the Just Calling to Say card is lovely.
Wonderful designs. I am in awe that each designer can use the same stamps but come up with different designs that are so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful.
Love all your projects!
Loved your cards. I always look forward to your tutorials on coloring and the ideas for using the stamps. Love the stamps, of course.
I really like the effect of the partial butterfly on the bookmark. Beautiful.
Again, what can I say---love those cards and tag. Your ideas are amazing.

Beautiful designs. The shadowing makes those blocks pop.

Wow - what a great idea, and putting all 3 on one card, with the precision of the cut outs is super easy!
Amazing designs. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely set of entries, Theresa! My absolute favorite is the butterfly, and like the way you arranged it a bit off the edge of the tag. Thanks for new ideas to try.
BEAUTIFUL creations, love them all, especailly the last one, the black & white is so elegant!

I love the way you did this. Thanks for a new technique to try.
very good technique, I really thought that you had cut out the three images. Thanks!
More great cards making me wish I could buy them all.
Love your cards. The scoring on the cards really adds a nice touch. I haven't try the process of scoring yet, but will try as soon as my Christmas cards are finished. Thanks for sharing.
