Gina K. Design December 2015 Inspiration Hop

The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! This blog hop is for our December Release!  We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projections as you hop along in the hop this month!  Enjoy the gorgeous inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog for your chance to win an awesome grab bag of GKD goodies!!!  To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's Inspirational Blog Hop Day!

Here is a card I made with both Mel's set and mine. I used her set for the background with some versamark ink. The Hippo image was stamped in black and colored with spectrum noir markers. The 100 on the balloon is from my this & that set. I made this for the swim coach who just had a milestone record win for the boy's team. 

This card uses the santa hat from the Stamp TV kit. I stamped the hat (from the owls) and trimmed it up and then colored it. The holidays sentiment is from the kit too.  

I dug deep in my stash of Gina K. Designer papers for the next few cards. This first one uses the designer paper for the background. It's so bright and festive. Perfect for a birthday card!

 This next one uses the paper from the poppy prints pack. Simply stamp the images on the designer paper and trim.

  

This one uses the paper from the same pack, but look at how cute the hippo is in plaid!

This card has hearts in various sizes from the this & that set. I stamped them in versamark on the ocean mist background. 

Full watercolored background with the cake and candle image along with the wish big sentiment!

Mel's Twine Time set is great for all you sew fanatics out there! 

This is literally me this month - tied up cutting paper and misplacing the scissors and tape while wrapping!

This is a fun thank you card using some watercoloring and sequins!

 I made this valentine with my new stamp set Lots of Washi.

I stamped the circle strip with versamark on the 2.5 x 3.5 artist trading card size piece of card stock.  I printed the sentiment on white card stock and added some hearts with Becky's new Folk Filigree set.

These are mini whoopee cushions - the perfect valentine gift for a

  4th grade boy to give out to his classmates! A shout out to Heather Courtney who shared a Pinterest link about whoopee valentines! Thanks my crafty friend!

Here is a card which I created faux washi tape strips using Lots of Washi & Lots of Dots. The sentiment is from Signs of Spring by Theresa Momber. The frame is from Lots of Dots Alphabet. A few sequins adorn the card to give it some sparkle!

Finally, here is a card which I created with Lots Of Washi and Lots of Thanks.  It uses custom bakers twine.  I made a video showing the process of creating this card.  Hope you like it!

I cannot wait to share more of the ideas with you next week during our design team hop! See you tonight at the release party!

I tried to keep it simple with this set - to allow for some clean & simple card designs! I was on a pink/black kick!

I had a ton of punched out stars from Karen's birthday cards, so I stamped the star from Lots of Lines in pink on the scrapped star. I used the "I love it!" sentiment from Lots of Thanks.  Very simple!  Endless possibilities with color combinations!

This card was simple and customizable for my needs.  I stamped the Thank You in pink, the rest in black and simply took a pink marker and checked off the boxes.  The card is now perfect for a friend who was there for me! 

 Stop by next week to see more samples, but for now - check out these fabulous blogs!

Here is a sneak peek of the set from the other day? The set is called Lots Of Lines!  

Here are the two cards which I made today! I am *really* excited about this new set - it is so fun to use! I love that you can easily make masculine & feminine cards by switching out the colors and adding a quick stamp or two! both cards are one layer cards, which are easy to mail.  Layering the stamps and colors allows you to easily pull this off!

Gina K. Designs July Release Party Roundup!

In case you were unable to attend the release party last night at StampTV, I am posting the cards which were shown by Gina (I was at a swim meet with the kids until 9:45 pm).  Here are the cards, in no particular order:

this card uses Becky's wood grain background and my new polka dot alphabet lower

Debbie's Marathon Diva set! So fun...this woman clearly has a bear chasing her!

The biggest joke in my house is that I actually have no idea how old I am because I have been 29 for so long.  This uses Tami & Theresa's newest sets!

I used some of Gina's designer paper along with Melanie's newest Stately Flowers 7 set

Close up of the sentiment

 

Wedding card I made for Debbie's brother & his new wife using Tami's new set, along with Mr&Mrs Diva sentiment and rings (from last May's release)

Gina K. Designs Illustrator Hop: Mix & Match

The Gina K Designs illustrators are hopping today to share some fun ways to combine the new release stamp sets. Hope you will join us as we Mix and Match!

 

Today, I am Mixing and Matching my Lovely Ladybug set with Tami Mayberry's Simple Hearts stamp set!

 I combined innocent pink, cherry red & dark sage inks from Gina K's new color companions collection!

This sweet & simple card was easy to make with a layer of 4 x 5.25 kraft atop a kraft A2 card base. I rounded one corner and added a pink gem to the center of one of the images. The sentiment is from Lovely Ladybug, stamped in memento black!
