GKD Sneak Peek: Lovely Ladybug (also Birds & Blossoms)

 I cannot begin to tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE this new stamp set! The images are so fun to work with. The clear stamps by Gina K. hold the ink so well. I am blown away with how well the images stamp. 

Here is a sample of the set which I created with some of the new goodies being released this month by Gina K. Designs...the cardstock, button and ribbon are all new!
I used the new Ocean Mist & Fresh Asparagus card stock along with a button from the mixed green collection and a sheer Ocean Mist ribbon.

This set will come with a cut file which contains a plethora of combinations of antenna and bodies!

Holiday Joy

Happy Holidays Everyone! I was supposed to be cleaning my office and putting things away in preparation for the whirlwind of holiday wrapping which will take place over the next few days.  I saw this paper on my desk and grabbed a white card base and my snowflake punch and threw this card together.  I love the little JOY sentiment from Gina K's Snow One Like You.





























Wishing you and yours all the joy of this holiday season!

Gina K. Designs Changes

Hi Everyone. Thank you for all your wonderful comments during the last release. I was really appreciative of all your support! I wanted to send out a special thank you to the FreckledANDfun Fabulous Four Design Team. They have helped me throughout 2012 getting my stamp line with Gina K. Designs off the ground. In January, there are going to be amazing changes over at Gina K. Designs. With those changes, we have decided to no longer carry personal design teams. While these friends of mine (Debbie, Cindy L., Cindy C., Val & Anita) are no longer going to be focusing on my stamp line, they will continue to inspire me.  Please stop by their blogs often to see what they have in store. I have changed the look of my blog and tried to clean things up with the hopes that you are easily able to navigate here easily. Please feel free to share any constructive feedback!

Have a WONDERFUL holiday season!

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:
