Gina K. Designs 2018 September Release Blog Hop - Day 3

Wednesday, October 3, 2018

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to Day 3 of the Gina K. Designs September blog hop! The release is now available over at Gina K. Designs and can be found HERE under the "what's new" tab. Today the design team is featuring  the Gina K. Designs StampTV Kit - Fruit of the Season and Sparkling Snowflake stamp sets.  This set is full of goodies and the stamp sets are to die for, you will not want this set to pass you by.

There is a prize up for grabs for each day of the hop. Just leave a comment on each stop of the hop for a chance to WIN a $50 Gina K. Designs gift certificate! A total of THREE certificates will be awarded. The winners will be announced over in the StampTV Big News forum a few days after the hop has ended.


My first card features the "Fruit of the Season" stamp set from the Gina K. Designs StampTV Kit.  I randomly stamped the pears on the background of my card with the Gina K. Prickly Pear ink.  Isn't this a beautiful color?  I then stamp the sentiment from the Fruit of the Season stamp set with Gina K. Charcoal Brown ink.  I die cut the image with the Gina K. stitched and double stitched dies and adhered the layers together and added them to my card. 


My second card I am using the "Sparkling Snowflake" stamp set from the kit.  I used the newly released Rubber Background stamp "Delicate Snowflake" for my background.  I stamped it with versamark, used the Gina K. fine detail white embossing powder and heat set the snowflakes. I then blended Gina K. Turquoise Sea ink with a jumbo sponge dauber heavily around the edges and lightly toward the center.  I then took a dry paper towel and whipped the in off the snowflakes, so they will stand out.  I then stamped several of the snowflakes from the "Sparkly Snowflake" stamp set with Gina K. Turquoise Sea ink, die cut them and layered three of them together, using foam squares between the layers to give the snowflakes dimension. I adhered it to my card. I then die cut the tag from the Gina K. Foil Mates Tag Borders and foiled it with Gina K. Turquoise foil, I stamped the sentiment from the "Sparkling Snowflake"  stamp set, and adhered it to my card using some twine from my stash.  I finished the card off by adding a rhinestone in the center of the snowflake.
