Steampunk Hot Air Balloon Embellishment by Kim C.

Hi everyone! This week I wanted to show what great embellishments you can make with items from Gina's Designs!!

We are also having a cross promotion with The Robin's Nest this month!

I used the Steampunk Border for this embellishment.

I cut off the hot air balloon from the bottom and this is what I created with it!!

I first gave it a couple coats of gesso. I then painted it with paints from ColourArt. Next, some pattern paper from my stash was added.

I added some dew drops from The Robin's Nest on the balloon as well as the bottom gear. Crackle medium was added to the top of the balloon in all the little openings.

This is now ready to add to any project, like a card, tag, or maybe even a layout. I will be using this at a later time in an upcoming project. Or maybe I just might put a magnet on the back and hang it up. This would make a great magnet for the fridge, hmmm....

Valentine Cards by Mary and Heidi featuring The Robin's Nest

Hello everyone! Today we have more projects from our January cross promotional with The Robin's Nest. What could be more representative of Valentine's Day than some gorgeous cards! First up today is Mary with three beautiful cards.

Happy Saturday! It's Mary here, and I am thrilled that it's the weekend! Today I am sharing three cards I designed using Gina's cute chipboard pieces and paper from the Robin's Nest.

As you can see from the above photo, Gina's pieces work great on cards! I started each of my cards using white card stock.

For this card, I added Robin's Nest paper over the white base, then swans and a heart from the Valentine's Shape Set. I also used the words "together" and "forever" from the 10 Words set. I embossed all four of the chipboard pieces.

On the card above, I used more paper from The Robin's Nest, and topped it with some of Gina's Doilies and the "love" from one of the new String-alongs sets. Gina's chipboard pieces are so much fun to work with!

For my last card, I used one of Gina's doilies, cut in in half and layered behind strips of paper from the Robin's Nest. I embossed some double hearts from the Valentine's Shape Set, and used some of the alpha stickers from the Robin's Nest on top.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I have the items I used from Gina's Store and the Robin's Nest listed below. If you would like more details and a list for other products I used, please visit my blog HERE.

Have a great weekend!!

Next up are three more very different and very beautiful cards from Heidi.

Hello everyone, it is Heidi again and today I am showing off a project in collaboration with the Robin's Nest. We got some really cute Valentine prints and so what could be cuter mixed with my Gina's Designs chipboard.

Here is a photo of all the cards together. I kept all the backgrounds white and then layered the printed paper with red.

This card uses a doily and one of the sweet little Valentine String Alongs- so darned cute!

This one was fun, a little block card with one of the heart pieces as a center.

And then this final one has the most chippies on it- all misted with glimmer mist. These pieces are so easy to use on your Valentine projects, leave them natural or color them! And you get lots of pieces!

Don't wait though- get them now so you can work on those heart shaped goodies!

Valentine's Day Tags Featuring the Robin's Nest.

Hi everyone, Mary here. I hope that everyone's 2014 is going well! Today I am sharing two Valentine tags I've created featuring papers from The Robin's Nest, and the new X-large chipboard tags from Gina's Designs.

For the "Be Mine" tag , I began by papering the chipboard tag with the Red Glitter Paisley paper from the Robin's Nest. I embossed the "be mine" from the Word Art Romance set with red and black. I backed the "B" with the Classic Roses paper from the Robin's Nest. The hearts and cupid are from the Cupids Shape Set. The hearts are embossed with red and white. The cupid was embossed, and then stamped with a script stamp. I adhered one of the intricate doilies to the side of the tag along with a metal piece and a heart. I tied several pieces of white seam binding on the top.

For my other tag, I used the striped, or "B" side of the classic roses paper from The Robin's Nest. I added a piece of lace and a pearl strand from my stash along the side. The hearts from the Valentine Shape Set and Word Art Romance set were embossed and then backed with the Red Glitter Paisley paper. I added a metal corner and flower cluster to complete the look!
