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.

It's that time! Sneak peeks of the @heroarts My Mo It's that time! Sneak peeks of the @heroarts My Monthly Hero has begun. Today is day one and I'm sharing my inspiration with loads of color.

This months kit is sooo pretty. It's all about layering stencils and you know I LOVE a great layering stencil. For me, I could use one layer of this stencil kit or use them all. It's very buildable and easy to line up.

Make sure to set those alarms for Monday August 1st 1:00 PM EST to grab your kit. Remember, once the kit sells out it's game over.

Hey everyone. It's time for @ginakdesigns July rel Hey everyone. It's time for @ginakdesigns July release. This evening I have a card using the new Just Breathe stamp set. I decided to do no-line watercolorink with this image and pair it with the Gina K. Designs Watercolor Floral 6x6 paper pad.

The sentiment on the card is from the new Big Birthday stamp set. This set has 14 different birthday sentiments, which makes it perfect for all your birthday cards.

You can find the new release over at Gina K. Designs.com. Oh and make sure to keep an eye out for inspiration from the guests and designers for Gina.

Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog tod Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog today sharing a tutorial using the new Hero Arts Tiling Textures stamp set with the Gold Hero Wax. This wax goes on like butter and once dried it's wonderful to stamp on. 

One of the tiles in the stamp set reminds me of honeycombs, so of course I needed to pull out cute bees from the Hero Arts Beelieve stamp set. It's a match made in heaven.

Head on over to the Hero Arts blog for more photos and a link to the tutorial. I also have a detail write up sharing how this card was created as well. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a grea Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a great evening. Have you seen the  @simonsaysstamp Dream Big release? Oh it really makes my heart happy.

I had the chance to color up these adorable unicorns from the Born the Sparkle stamp set. I mean these unicorns are just too darn cute. My medium of choice were my Copics makers. I decided this card need some dimension, I stamped the unicorns and clouds once on my panel card stock and again on a separate piece of card stock so I could color them. Next I fussy cut each one out to pop them up on my card. 

This card really does make my heart happy. Unicorns for the win! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
