One Fish, Two Fish!!

Hi all & Good Evening to ya!  This is the second post for today, so if you missed the first one with the Magnolia-licious Blog Hop make sure to scroll down to see it all!

This week is Preview Week for Gina K Designs and there will be quite a few fun BLOG HOPS that the DT is doing this week to showcase all the new stamp sets.  Tonight Gina K's Card Club DT is featuring a fun set called "Quite the Catch" that includes:

* Quite the Catch stamp set
* Cardstock: Layering White, Red Hot, Turquoise Sea, Green Apple
* Quarter Sheet Patterned Paper sheet
* 10 silver brads
* Print out with supplies and measurements

*************************************
Quite the Catch


I really had so much fun with this set "Quite the Catch"--it's just such a happy & fun set to use!  And it reminds me of my favorite Disney movie "Little Mermaid"!!  I can't tell you how many times we watched that movie when my 2 kids were younger but it remains my fave (hear me singing "Under the Sea" hee hee)!  I wanted to make a couple fun cards that aren't hard to create but fun to give or have in your stash.  I kept the layouts the same, just switched up the color of cardstocks.



I like to call this lil' guy "Sebastian" like in the Little Mermaid, he's such a cutie!  Don't tell him that my favorite seafood is "crab" though, LMBO!  I used some dp from my stash and then created some fun circle cards.  The lil' bubbles have Viva Decor Gloss Pen (transparent) in them and they look like real bubbles IRL.  I put Stickles on his legs and diamond glaze on his eyes (Gina K's Crystal Lacquer is similar HERE).
The scrolls are from a punch and the bow was made with my handy dandy Bow Easy.  Crabby fun-fabulous! {Copics Used: E08,R02,R00,C2}

Next up is the little Goldie Queen--I had to make her a gold fish with my Copics {YR23,YR21,YR20,R02}--dontcha' love her lil' crown?  Her lil' fins got stickles and her eyes got diamond glaze too!  Isn't she just fin-fabulous now, hee hee!  Now make sure to hop down to see what the other designers have in store for you tonight!


Designers Participating in tonight's previews: 
The Release Party is this Thursday, April 22 on StampTV.  There will be challenges, contest questions, chatter, as well as tons of samples from the Design Team members from 7-10 (central time) all leading to the new products being available in GinaK's online store at 10pm.  We'd love to have you join us for our monthly party!

  4. Super talented you are, girl!!! I have to tell you that it's your fault for getting me started on copics and it's also your fault that I now have numerous 'sticky notes' on my computer screen with the color combos you use - LOL!

    Thanks, my friend :) I wouldn't have it any other way...

    Love and hugs ~

  27. These stamps are not what I would ordinarily look for, but seeing them in these cards you made I know I will HAVE to have them. I already have a list of people to send each one to. Thanks for sharing your inspirations with the rest of us less inspired people.
