Gina K's Designs July Release!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Gina K's new release for July. I am a little late because I was on vacation.  I hope you have a little time because I have six cards to show you.  After you finish here, you will want to stop by the Cast and Crew's blogs to see all the lovely creations. I am sure you will be inspired as you hop along to each of the blogs! The list will be at the bottom of this post.

My first card is My Island stamp set by Claire Brennan. I created a background using distress inks. I cut a circle out with masking tape and placed it where I wanted the sunset. I then stamped the trees on the right with Gina K's black onyx ink and partially stamped the trees to the left. I added my sentiment and added some rhinestones. I picked the sentiment "vacation" because I just came back from St. Martens and I just couldn't resist using it.

Supplies:

My next card is called Bella Elephant stamp set by Beth Silaika, this stamp set is so versatile! It's the perfect set to make a baby invitation, children's birthday cards and thank you cards, as I have done. I stamped the elephant and the flag out, fuzzy cut them. I colored the elephant with copics, stamped the sentiment in the flag.

My next card, I was so excited when I saw this stamp set, it is Stately Flowers 10 by Melanie Muenchinger.  I am from Virginia and the dogwood flower is the state flower.  Thank you Melanie for such a lovely set.  Also, Melanie has a video on how to use this stamp set, hop on over and check it out here!  I created my card by stamping off using Gina K's Warm Cocoa ink making the dogwood flower the background.  I stamped the frame and added "Virginia" and "dogwood" and fuzzy cut the dogwood out, added a little color with copics. I distressed the edges to give the card some interest.  I finished the card off by adding some twine.

My next card is also created by the talented Claire Brennan called Sweet Thing. This set has so many yummy cupcakes that you will be able to create so many nice cards.  This card is clean and simple.  I stamped the cupcakes and fuzzy cut them and colored with copics.  I added some wink of stella on the icing (hard to see in the picture).  I finished it off by adding some enamel dots.

And finally, this set is French Flair by Theresa Momber. Theresa illustrated this wonderful set that will leave you feeling like you may be in Paris or strolling around a gorgeous vineyard!  I created a gift bottle holder.  This set is perfect to make a card or gift to give someone for a wedding gift.

Closer look at the gift tag.  You can write your sentiment/message on the back of the tag.

Wow, I hope I did not bore you! I had so much fun creating these cards. Each one has a special meaning to me. Ready for more awesome creations?! Just click on the links below for more from Gina and the Cast & Crew:
