Hello everyone!

I am here today featuring the NEW Gina K. Designs "Time to Bloom" Stamp and Die Sets illustrated by Hannah Schroepfer Drapinski.  Be sure to check out ALL the new products released this month.  You can also find lots of inspiraton over at  Gina K. Designs & StampTV Friends Facebook page.  All supplies I used are listed below.

Here is my cards for your inspiration:

My card is an elegant A2 card featuring the beautiful floral from the Time to Bloom stamp set.  

I started with a card base using Gina K. Designs cardstock in Lovely Lavender. This shade sets such a calming tone and creates the perfect backdrop for the design.

For the focal point, I used the newly released Time to Bloom floral set. I stamped the flowers and colored them with Olo Markers, blending soft purples to complement the cardstock. The gentle shading really brings the petals to life while keeping everything cohesive and soothing. After coloring, I used the coordinating die to cut out the images for a crisp finish.

To add dimension and elegance, I layered the design over the Ornate Frame die from Gina K. Designs. The intricate pattern adds beautiful texture without taking away from the florals, and the layered framing draws your eye right to the center of the card.

The sentiment, “Hello Friend,” is from the Time to Bloom perfectly placed at the base of the florals.

To finish everything off, I added a few Soft White Pearls from Gina K. Designs around the frame. These subtle embellishments add just the right touch of shine and complete the card with a polished look.

This card is a great example of how sticking to a monochromatic palette with soft variations can create something truly elegant and timeless.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you are enjoying the new release this month.

Newton's Nook Designs - Happy Birthday cards

Hello everyone!

I am here today sharing a two colorful cards using Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Mix Tape Stamp Set andPuppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set.  

I started by ink blending a panel in rainbow colors. Then I placed the stencil over the blended background and applied black ink to create the music note pattern (a reverse stenciling look).

Next, I die cut the panel using the Card Layout 7 die. I used the individual cut panels for my Newton’s Mix Tape card, and saved the outer frame to use on my second card.

For this card, I used the frame and the panels from the first card.  I love getting two cards from one.  

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you were inspired and try using some of these techniques.

Hoppy Easter Card with Newton’s Nook Designs 🐰🥕

Happy Easter!!!

Today I’m sharing a fun and playful Easter card featuring some adorable bunny silhouettes and bright spring colors!

For this A2 card, I started by die cutting the top layer using the Postage Layout Die from Newton’s Nook Designs. I love how this design creates the look of sweet little postage panels—it’s perfect for building a scene!

To add color and pattern, I die cut the layout again using paper from the Happy Easter Paper Pack and inlaid the pieces into each section. The soft green polka dot pattern gives the card a fresh, springtime feel.

Next, I die cut the bunnies from chocolate cardstock using the Bunny Silhouette Die Set. The rich brown color really makes them pop against the bright background! I added fluffy tails using white flock from my stash for a soft, textured detail that brings the bunnies to life.  The sentiment is from the Springtime Bunny stamp set.

To finish off the design, I added a few carrots from the same die set, placing them across the panels for a fun and whimsical touch. The mix of bunnies and carrots keeps the card playful and balanced.

Newton's Nook Designs - Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

Spring is in the air, and I couldn’t resist creating a bright and cheerful Easter card filled with color, sparkle, and a sweet little bunny from the February 2026 release! This design came together so beautifully and would be perfect for sending warm Easter wishes to family and friends.

I started with an A2 card base and created the top layer using a die from the Card Layout 6 die set. I absolutely love how this layout divides the card into fun sections—it’s perfect for showcasing different patterns and elements while keeping everything balanced.

For the patterned background, I used the Happy Easter paper pack from Newton’s Nook Designs. The soft pastel colors and playful egg patterns instantly set the tone for a festive spring card. 

The Easter eggs are the real stars of this card! I used the Easter Egg Builder Die Set to create layered eggs. The base layers were die cut directly from the patterned paper, while the top layers were cut from Cheerful Brights glitter cardstock. This added just the right amount of sparkle and dimension—because let’s be honest, a little glitter makes everything better!

For the focal point, I stamped and added the adorable bunny and sentiment from the Springtime Bunnies stamp set. The “Happy Easter” greeting sits perfectly in the center panel, tying the whole design together. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, for those of you who celebrate Easter have a wonderful Easter weekend with your family and friends.
