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.

Gina K Designs and Pear Blossom Press Collaboration

November 4, 2020

Welcome to the Let’s Glow hop with Gina K Designs and Pear Blossom Press! We’re sharing beautiful cards with a double-wow factor; they feature the beautiful stamps and dies you can only find from Gina K, and they all light up! (Don’t worry, that part is easy with the help of Pear Blossom Press’ EZ-Lights.) Be sure to hop along with us for lots of inspiration; our designers have come up with some gorgeous cards…

Using the Gina K Designs Holiday Trees stamp set I lined a card panel with one of the trees from the stamp set in Gina K. Designs Grass Green ink. I was careful to mask off each tree so there was no overlap of cover. Once I had the trees stamped, I colored in the sky using my BG0000 and BG000 Copic maker.

Carefully freehanding a snow bank with my scissors I place it under the trees and stamped the Merry Christmas and press me in Gina K. Designs Lipstick ink. The press me sentiment is from Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set. Adding just a touch of glitter along the snow bank makes my card sparkle.

Now it was time to assemble my card. Pulling out a small circle punch I punched out a few of the small circles on the trees. Behind those hole I placed a piece of vellum and attached my Easy Lights. I placed the battery pack under the press me and adhered it with double sided tape. I layered this panel with foam tape and placed it on a card panel that was lined with red card stock.

Adding just a few gems to the tree and my card was complete. This card was sooo easy to put together and the addition of the lights makes it just perfect. Here is a video from Pear Blossom Press showing how to us their EZ Lights.

Every good hop has prizes, right? So Gina K Designs, and Pear Blossom Press are each giving away a $50 store credit! Comment on this post by November 11, 2020 to be entered to win. The winner of the Gina K Designs credit will be announced on their blog on November 18, and the winner of the Pear Blossom Press credit will be announced the same day, on their blog. Next on the hop is Beth Silaika.

Thanks for joining me on the Gina K. Designs and Pear Blossom Press Collaboration Hop.

Gina K. Designs Holiday Hexagons and Sentimental Holiday

October 21, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m super excited to be sharing Gina K. Designs Holiday Hexagons and Sentimental Holiday stamp sets. These stamp sets are full of holiday spirits and both stamp sets work perfectly together. Let’s check out the card I made.

Keeping in the traditional holiday colors I used Gina K. Designs Grass Green and Coral Reef with a pop of gold. I am so in love with how this card turned out. Stamping the snowflakes in a solid color and then am ombre’ of both colors really makes a statement. Popping up a gold snowflake in the center of the panel really shows the elegant design of this stamp set.

Here’s a few closeups of the cards. Filling in around the snowflakes with the sequin shaped stamps I was able to add just a touch more gold to the card.

We also need tags for the holidays right? So why not create one your gift recipient will love. On this tag I used the Sentimental Holiday stamp set. Keeping with the same color combination as the card above this tag is a sure winner. This stamp set is full of beautiful sentiments for all your holiday cards and tags.

Matching my tag also to my card keeps my gift giving simple and stylish.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to head on over to shop the new release at Gina K. Designs. Gina also released her stunning new Sparkle and Shine kit that would work fabulously with the Gina K. Designs Holiday Hexagons and Sentimental Holiday sets as well. Really the opportunity for gorgeous cards are right at your finger tips with Gina K. Designs products.
