Gina K. Designs August Release Blog Hop: Day Two

Welcome to Day 2 of the Gina K. Designs August Release Blog Hop! WooHoo! Who is excited for more stamp sets? Today we are featuring Skeleton Leaves and Holiday Wreath Builder!



When I saw this stamp set, I squealed with delight! It reminded me of the stamp set that started my love of stamping!


Image may contain: text
 This card uses an A2 Kraft base and I stamped the skeleton leaves in black and then used some copic markers to color them.  The sentiment POPS off the black with embossed white! Sentiment is from Dazzling Dahlia




Finally, I created this card with an ombre look using the rock and roll method. Taking a photo of this card proved to be challenging. There are double score lines on the base of the card above and below the sentiment. The skeleton leaf and the sentiment are stamped in sandy beach and then rolled in dark chocolate. This gave it an ombre look. I promise it looks better in real life!






Finally, here is an amazing new set for the holidays! Love that it includes the Star of David and Happy Hanukkah sentiment!  Pssst. I don't have the wreath builder (I guess I need to order one) - so I just have to use the images to make it work!

My card is a kraft A2 card with some white ink and a splash of red/black! Super clean and easy to replicate if you are producing in mass quantities for the holidays!



The $50 Gina K. Designs gift card is in play today too! So you do your thing by leaving some love on every blog on the list!

Gina K. Designs August Release Blog Hop: Day One

Welcome to Day One of Gina K. Designs August Release Blog Hop! Today we are sharing samples with Whimsical Wildflowers by Hannah Schroepfer as well as Thankful & Blessed by Emily Loggans!


Here is a look at Whimsical Wildflowers. It comes with coordinating dies (I KNOW! RIGHT?)

This clean and simple kraft card uses the pretty flower and the sentiment "Keep Going, Keep Growing".  I am going to pop this one in the mail to the girls at college! What a great inspirational message! I have my oldest two off in school now, so the house is pretty quiet!



Here is Thankful & Blessed! Isn't it just wonderful? I just love the beautiful fonts and sayings with Emily's set. I adore the way the sentiment fits so perfectly in the branches.

This card was made as a thank you to an inspirational speaker that came to talk with the swim team. Our team colors are green, so this was the perfect card. White A2 card base, Grass Green ink.




This one was stamped in black on an A2 Wild Lilac base. I added a few white accents in the branches with a gel pen. This clean and simple card is so easily replicated - what a great set to have on hand for quick cards!



Now that you have seen my samples, stop by and see a few others by these amazing designers! Did I mention the $50 Gina K. Designs gift card you could win.  Ya! That's a thing today (and tomorrow).

Gina K. Designs & ThermOWeb Autumn Stamp-n-Foil Release

Welcome to the Gina K. Designs & ThermOWeb Autumn Stamp-n-Foil Release!


Who is ready for Fall? I'm not - we just got back from our annual summer trip to the Outer Banks and the kids are already geared up for Fall Sports (which began yesterday). I guess that means it is time for pumpkin spice latte and some apple picking! 

I was in a krafty mood this time around, so two of the cards are made with Kraft A2 bases. I love the way the leaves look on kraft, stamped with Gina K. Amalgam Jet Black ink and colored with copic markers. 





This second card features the sunflower image stamped with Gina K. Amalgam Jet Black ink and colored with copic markers. It is on a 4.25 square card kraft base.  The Gina K. Gingham ribbon is looped through some small holes, punched on either side of the stem.




This final card is a foil card - using a tranquil teal A2 card base. I sponged the background in tranquil teal and jelly bean green inks and foiled with a gold sequin foil. The sentiment is stamped on Gina K. white card stock. The flower is sponged with tranquil teal ink and also foiled! I used a button with gold cord!




Trying this out: Here is a little clip of the foil in action - it is hard to see it in a photograph, but this little video show you how much the card shines!









I hope you enjoyed these samples! 

If you haven't already, swing by all the designer's blogs and give them some love! You will be eligible for a $50 gift certificate - think of all the foil you can get with that!!
