New Release Blog Hop Day 1

This month, we had our release party over the lunch hour(s) and it was a HUGE success. We had the highest attendance ever! Although it was fast moving, I felt like I could keep up a little better. Must have been that large coffee I had a bit earlier! LOL!

If you missed the release party, you can still see EVERYTHING and play along with all the contests and challenges by clicking here- Release Party Forum

Inspiration

Today, the design team has put together a fabulous inspirational blog hop for you featuring two of the new stamp sets released yesterday including Basket Additions 2 by Melanie Muenchinger and Lacy Borders, a new Gina K. Designs set.

If you haven't seen my sample yet, I used both together in my video card at the release party. In the video, I show you how to color this basket using Copic Markers and a Copic Blender Pen. You can get the same effect using BIC markers if you don't have Copics but you will need a Copic Blender Pen or other Alcohol Ink Blender Marker.











To continue with the hop, check out what these designers have done with these sets and as you hop through their blogs, leave a comment on each of them if you would like to be part of a drawing for a free grab bag of precut, deeply etched  Gina K. Designs rubber stamps. The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win.

Start hopping here:
On Monday, we will feature two more new sets in another Design Team Blog Hop so stop back then!
