Gina K. Inspiration Hop: Perfect Plaids and Snow One Like You





The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a few days after the hops.

In case you missed my perfect plaid card from the other day, here it is again - I made faux Burberry. 


This next card was created with the perfect plaids set and the sentiments from Becky's Warm Woolen Mittens. I stamped the plaid across in black and used copics to give it that holiday feel. 


So this washi tape is all the rage, right? I have yet to spend a penny on the stuff when it is easy to create it myself. Using the plaids and some ink, I created strips of the "faux washi tape" and adhered them to a white card base. The sentiment is made with the Lots of Letters stamp set. Some naked buttons to coordinate with the tape finish off the card! 


 When I saw this adorable snowman, I knew I wanted to make a snow globe with him in it! My daughter Bella loves snow globes. I covered him in stickles - It was simply a punched circle and a folder tab punch (cut in half).





The snowflakes on the background of the card were done in versamark and white. I stamped the bird house and then colored it with copics.



Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:

i could be dramatic and say your cards are to die for, i'm not, and even if i was i'd probably never use that terminology seriously. But your cards are gorgeous. i love using buttons on my cards, too. i'll need to scraplift. Thanks for sharing

So many cards, so little time left. Thanks for showing us how many things we can do with just a few stamp sets. I tend to stick to the stamps in the one set I am working on instead of mixing them. Now I will explore more.
