Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 1 Gina K Designs

October 29, 2021

(Affiliate links are used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Holiday Card Series for 2021! I’m so thrilled to be doing this series again this year. I will be posting tutorials Monday-Wednesday and Friday. During the series this year I will be providing an Ink Combos Guide for color inspiration. The amazing Kristina Werner and I collaborated to bring this bonus to you for our holiday card series. There is a PDF you can download that contains all the colors used for my series. Ten color ink combos you can use for your holiday cards. There are inks from various companies so you can create with any brand you have in your crafty stash. You can find the Ink Combos Guide PDF in the sidebar of the blog. Look for this graphic or click below.

Today we are starting with Gina K. Designs. I adore Gina and featuring her products bring me so much happiness. Each tutorial I will share with you a project I will complete and additional cards for inspiration. This will hopefully show you the ways you can use the color ink combos. Let’s check out the first card.

The ink color combo today will work for a masculine or feminine holiday card. This color palette is so warm and rich. Colors of ink from Gina K. Designs are Honey Mustard, Kraft, Dark Sage and Slate. Adding a touch of Gina K Designs and Therm-O-Web White glitz glitter gel makes it looks like snow is resting on the bottom of each letter. The Gina K. Designs Peace Love and Joy Plate makes card creating super easy.

 

Holiday Card Series 2021 Day 1

 

Here’s a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

 

BONUS CARDS:

Here are two other ways I used the color ink combo. The first card is made with the Gina K. Designs Star Struck and Playful Penguins stamp set.

 

 

This card was made using the Gina K. Designs A Very Merry Christmas. A very stylish clean and simple card.

 

 

Okay everyone. Day 1 of the Holiday Card Series for 2021 is in the books. I will see you back here on Monday for more card inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hi Dana, To be honest, I have never followed you in the past. I found you through Kristina Werner and watched your holiday series for this year. At first I kinda thought “Oh my gosh! Who is this person?”, but then I watched a full video and I gotta tell you, I AM A FAN!!! Your cards are fabulous, creative, non-intensive, but fun! However, it is the things you say about enjoying yourself, doing your own ideas, doing what you like not what is current, and simply being so encouraging about not being perfect that have really endeared you to me. Thank you SO MUCH for encouraging us to do our thing and in your videos to simply give us ideas with your thing. So much appreciation!

    Thank you for the free ink combos guide. Will be so useful. Liked the masking technique and letter build-up along with the color combinations and glitter gel accents. Unique colors for the holiday.

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Who doesn't love an adorable mushroom stamp set? T Who doesn't love an adorable mushroom stamp set? The Hero Arts Hello Fungi stamp set is perfect for stepping into your fall card. With the beautiful line art of this stamp set, you can easily color this with your Copic markers or do what I did, and color it with your color pencils. I think this stamp said would be beautiful stamped in gold on black cardstock.

For all the details, head on over to my blog (link in bio) to see what products I used to create this card. Even with temperatures still in the 90's here in Florida, I can still dream of fall weather. LOL
