Alcohol Ink Valentine’s Day Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 5

January 26, 2022

Hey everyone. We are to the final day of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2022. After watching a video by Tim Holtz I was inspired to pull out my alcohol pearl inks and play. And I’m so glad I did because the cards I created came out so pretty! Let’s dive into the cards.

In the tutorial you will see how easy it was to create these gorgeous alcohol peal ink backgrounds. Remember, when you are playing or creating with alcohol inks just have fun. It takes practice to really learn how the inks will move so the more you use them the better you will understand how it flows.

The clean and simply style of these cards really make me happy. They were super easy to create and I will now leave my inks out more often to just create with no card design in mind.

Using that gorgeous Stylized Heart from Simon Says Stamp, pulls all this gorgeousness together.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the series this year. See you back here soon.

Gina K. Designs June 2021 Release

June 9, 2021

Hello everyone. Welcome to the June 2021 Gina K Designs release. I’m thrilled to be sharing a few cards with you today. The stamp set I’m featuring is the Caring Flowers. I love this stamp set for this beautiful floral image and the wonderful sentiments. During times in our lives we have a tendency to place ourselves last if we need help or just a break. The sentiments in the stamp set remind us that self care is also important.

For my first card I really wanted to pull back out my watercolors and really play with them. The watercolors I used today are from Daniel Smith. To get some of that great details in the flowers I used a glass calligraphy pen. Be still my heart this pen really helps to add details to watercolored images.

For my second card I pulled out my well used and loved Copic Markers. To keep the card clean and bold, I only colored the flowers and left the rest of the image black and white. I love doing this with flowers or floral images as it really makes a striking card.

The beautiful paper behind the flower is Gina K. Designs Mango card stock. How yummy does it look with these Copic colors.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to swing by Gina K Designs shop to pick up this month’s release. You are really going to love it! Have a great day everyone.

Gina K Designs Guest Designer

February 25, 2021

Hey hey peeps. I’m super excited to be Gina K Designs Guest Designer this month. I simply adore Gina and her amazing team. Gina’s products are some of the prettiest in the craft community and she is one heck of a sweet and caring human being.

My card is featuring the Some Bunny stamp set and coordinating dies. Oh this stamp set truly reminds me of Easter. I remember getting my Easter basket each year and couldn’t wait to dig into the jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps and colorful Easter eggs. This stamp set brings me back to a sweet time in my life. This card was so much fun to make with all the bright and happy colors inks from Gina K. Designs.

Using all the eggs, I stamped them in rainbow of colors on my card for my card. Diecutting them out helped to create a border on my card. I also sponged on a fun circle background using the Rina K Designs Sending Sunshine stencil in the same colors of ink.

Stamping a simple sentiment down the middle of my card kept my card colorful and bright. I love layering bright colored cards on black cardstock. It just makes the color pop even more.

For a bit of added interest I pulled out some colorful jewels in matching colors for a little bit of sparkle on my card. Make sure to head on over to the Gina K. Designs blog to see more of the more inspiration from the release. Thank you Gina for giving me the chance to be a guest designer for this release. I’ll be back with another card tomorrow from the release. Have a great day everyone.
