Gina K. Designs Share the Love with Foil-Mates Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Gina K. Designs Share the Love with Foil Mates Blog Hop!  I love using foil mates - my KIDS love watching the papers transform into such beautiful bling - they swipe the cards from my hands before the adhesive is even dry!  This one is super cute but SO hard to photograph!  I tried a few angles so you can see how truly spectacular the shine is!  

I used some pinks and blacks together to create this card.  It may be a nice card to slip in Todd's backpack for when he travels - which has been a TON lately! It's always nice to feel loved!

Do you have any fun Valentine Traditions? I usually give each of the kids something special - and this year, I even hired my friend Heather (who puts together gift boxes) to create an extra special something for my daughter, Karen who is away at college.  She needs to feel the love too! This year Todd and I are celebrating with my favorite musician - Elton John - in Las Vegas!  This year I hope we don't get stranded in Vegas!

Have a super day and a wonderful Valentine's Day

  and now hop on over to the next blog!

Stop by each of the blogs below, give them some Valentine's love and you could be entered for a prize from Gina K. Designs!  There will be one $50 gift certificates chosen from the comments on ALL the blog posts! So hop over to ALL the blogs and leave some love! That will buy a lot of Foil-Mates!

Gina K. Designs: Merry & Bright StampTV Kit Inspiration Blog Hop

The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fantastic blog hop celebrating the new Merry & Bright StampTV Kit. Today, the Cast & Crew has prepared some amazing and beautiful projects to share with you! Join us by hopping along on all of the Cast & Crew blogs to see the wide variety of samples. These will give you ideas as you create your own projects when you receive the set for yourself. Make sure to leave a comment on the blog because we will be giving away a prize! I think when Gina totaled the value of the kit - it was over $110 worth of goodies!

Here are some of the samples I created with the kit!


This first card uses the two separate sentiments Happy and Hanukkah, stamped in moonlit fog. I stamped a strip of moonlight fog paper with moonlit fog ink, using the pretty snowflake from the set. 

The snowflakes were stamped on the kraft base and then sprinkled with gina k glitter. It is really hard to see the sparkle on this card! The merry merry christmas was stamped in white ink on the red paper, but I really wanted it to pop, so I embossed it with white embossing powder. 

Traditional colors with this card - the sentiment was stamped first with red ink on Gina K. heavy base white. The holly branch was stamped and then I used a glue pen to cover the image and sprinted it with the gina k glitter. 

Simple tag card with the gina k die cut in red, adhered to a moonlit fog card base.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink. The poinsettia is stamped in red with some gold dots provided by a gold leaf pen. 

Enjoy the gorgeous holiday inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog. We will be selecting one lucky commenter at the end of the hop will win a $50 Gina K Designs gift certificate! To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop.

Today, our featured sets are Melanie Muenchinger’s Basket Additions 3 and Beth Silaika’s Keep Calm. There are some great stamps to color and the perfect sentiment for Back to School!

Melanie’s Basket Additions 3 stamp set

Beth’s Keep Calm stamp set

It’s not too late to make your project or special cards because students and teachers will be back in the classroom.

WAIT!!! DID SOMEONE SAY BACK TO SCHOOL??? 

 In our house, we have a child that considers the "s" word forbidden in the summer! She hates the early back to school commercials on tv and the radio! I'm not even telling her about this hop! Ha ha!

I created this first card on the new jelly bean card stock.  I love this color green! I stamped the apple {from Stippled Nature} in the jelly bean and then stamped the sentiment {from Keep Calm} in black! What a great card for your kid's lunch bag for the first day of school! This is a 4x4 square card.

Wouldn't this next card be cute for your child to hand to their new teacher on their first day of school? This apple is from Bounty of Blessings and the sentiment is from Keep Calm! Both were stamped in black, but the apple was colored in with spectrum noir markers.

Gina, along with the Cast and Crew, 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 a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full who won check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop. 

This card uses the elements from Theresa's set (The Wetlands)

I love the masculine images from the set - Of course I used them to make some Father's Day cards! I kept them both Clean & Simple so that the image is the focal point! I used a watercolor brush with some chalks for this card! A few embossed lines under the sentiment really keeps with the clean design of the card!  

The images would also make great masculine birthday or thank you notes! Don't you think!  Again - chalked watercolored images with the Dad sentiment.  I emboss framed the main image!
