It's that time again! Time for the new GinaK Designs stamp release! This month, there's 5 new sets and then 2 more sets that are included in a new Stamp TV kit.
Gina is also having one of her infamous Release Parties over at the GinaK forum at SCS on Thursday night (5/28) from 7-10 pm (CST). If you're looking for a fun night with the girls online, along with challenges, contests, sneak peeks and lots of chatter, make sure to mark your calendar to be there. If you've never made it to one of these parties, you totally don't know what you're missing!
The first sneak peek is from a new set by the ever-talented Melanie Muenchinger. Melanie has created a set that works SO well with her other sports and Tee sets. The new set is called "Sporty Accessories" and I have to admit, the first thing that my mind went to when I saw this set was McDonald's. Yes, the restaurant. When I saw the pom-pom image, all I could think was that it looked like those little Fry Guys. Well, don't they?
I decided to turn them into a pyramid of cheerleaders! I stamped them in a pyramid and then masked off the bottom three and stamped the bottom part of the golf club, which is also included in this set to use as their feet. I used a fine point black marker to draw in the feet on the top three. I used some Copic markers to color them in. I used a little bit of Mono-Multi glue to adhere the googly eyes.
My card base is Baja Breeze cardstock and then I layered with a piece of Black Onyx cardstock. I used Pure Luxury White cardstock to do my stamping on.
I stamped the pennant flag on a scrap of Baja Breeze cardstock and then stamped the "Go Team" image inside of it. This stamp set also has a megaphone and other sayings that you can include in both the megaphone and the pennant. I cut it out and then used some Mono-Multi glue to attach it to a toothpick. I also used the Mono-Multi to glue the toothpick to the card.
I love googly eyes and can't stop shaking this card to see their eyes go all around!
Make sure you check out what the rest of the Design Team did with this set!

OMGosh! These little guys are over-the-top delightful! They remind me of those squishy-soft-tangible keychain bobbles, and the former McDonald's little characters! Fun indeed with the googly eyes!
