Today the Gina K Designs team is having a second bog hop to thank Spellbinders for their generous gift of their amazing new Grand Calibur die cutting machine to each member of our team! What an exciting gift and we are absolutely enjoying this fabulous machine! We have made some special cards and projects to showcase the new Grand Calibur and why we are loving it so much -- thank you so very much Spellbinders! You can find my post & project from the first Spellbinders hop HERE.
You should have come to me from Melanie Muenchinger's blog, if not, or if you would like to start from the beginning of the hop, you can find a full list of participants at the bottom of this post or at Stamp TV.

I love all of the different shapes of Spellbinders dies – makes it very easy to choose just the right shape you need for a project. For this window card, I chose the different, new shape of the Labels Twenty-One die to cut a window in the front of my card, revealing the pretty floral image I stamped inside:
I chose these pretty flowers from the new Gina K Designs Springtime Silhouettes Stamp TV Kit and colored the image directly on the stamp with Memento Markers, then stamped onto Gina K Designs 120lb. Heavy Base Weight Ivory cardstock. The centers of the flowers are accented with Clear Copic Atyou Spica Glitter Pen -- hopefully you can see the pretty sparkle in this close-up:
See that lovely embossed edge around the window opening? Love that signature Spellbinders trademark! And it seems crisper and more defined, using the Grand Calibur! I love this wonderful sentiment (also from the new Stamp TV Springtime Silhouettes Kit)! The green satin ribbon was rouched and held in place with Copic’s Double-Sided High Tack tape. I distressed the edges of the patterned paper and machine stitching around the edges finishes it off . . . quick and easy!
Next on the hop is Suzanne Dean . . . happy hopping! Here's the full list of participants in today's hop:
