Spring Parade!- The new StampTV Kit

Good morning everyone!

Welcome to our Spring Parade Blog Hop featuring the brand new Spring Parade StampTV Kit.
This kit will be available TOMORROW morning at 8:00 AM at www.ginakdesigns.com.

Before we get started, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that our very our Sean Fetterman suffered a heart attack yesterday and spent the day in ICU. He had a clogged left artery and they were able to put in a stint but he will remain in the hospital for the next few days. You KNOW how much we LOVE Sean and we know how much you do too, so today's blog hop is dedicated to him. We love you so much Sean- please take care of yourself and get well soon!



Also, I know many of you will want to send Sean a card so all cards can be sent here:

Sean Fetterman
c/o Gina K. Designs
4916 Triangle Street
McFarland, WI 53558



We will be boxing up your cards and forwarding them to Sean's home address but for security reasons, we felt that it was better to not post his home address on the internet. Sean LOVES card making and I know he will LOVE every single one of your cards.

Speaking of cards... 
WE HAVE A BRAND NEW KIT! 

I know how excited all of you will be when you see this one. It's called Spring Parade and it's full of stamp sets, patterned paper, ribbons, brads and our gorgeous Pure Luxury card stock.

The card I made for Sean today features the stamp set, "Shine On!," part of this new kit.

























Sean is always such a shining ray of light to all of the members of StampTV so I thought I would send him this little card.

I used the Tomato Soup and White card stock and two of the new patterned papers from the Spring Parade kit. I also added some of the white brads and ribbon from the kit.

I colored the bird with Copic markers and then added a little sparkle to the umbrella and boots using a Sakura Stardust Pen.

I adhered the focal image piece to the card using 1/4" pop dots.

I just love how these colors go together. They are so fresh and on-trend. In fact, these are all colors straight from the Patone Spring Fashion report so not only will your cards be adorable, but fashionable too! :)

I love this greeting because it can be used for so many cards of encouragement.
"In any kind of weather, I'm here for you!"

















And adding a little stardust glitter pen to the focal image reflects all the shine and sparkle to brighten someone's day.

















Ready for more?

Check out what the team has created for you today, and make sure you leave a comment on each of the blogs along the way because on Friday, we will be choosing one lucky blog hopper who will win this whole kit! And don't worry if you purchase it on Thursday morning- we will just refund your money if you win!

Oh- and Sean is last on our blog hop list today. Of COURSE, he already had his blog hop cards ready for you, but don't forget to send a little love his way when you leave your comment on his blog. :)

The new Spring Parade StampTV Kit will be available at 8:00 AM tomorrow morning and we will celebrate with another Spring Parade blog hop and a brand new StampTV video so make sure you stop back!
