Scripty Encouragment incentive set
(free with a $75 order)


My first card I created I used the stamp set Happy Herb, my card is an A2 card.  I stamped the pots three times and colored them with copics.

 

My next card I created with the A Big Hello stamp set.  I believe this is my favorite set by far.  I love the bold scripty hello die that I can see using on many of my cards.  For my card, I cut a panel 3 7/8 x 5 and used the Heartfelt stencil from the kit using the Glitz Glitter Gel Red Velvet, I set it aside and stamped the hello with GKD embossing and watermark ink, added GKD detailed white embossing powder and heat embossed.  I fuzzy cut the hello and added some foam squares and adhered it to the card.  I then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Scripty Encouragement incentive set that you can get free with a $75 order.


My last card, I created using the Friendship Hearts stamp set.  To create the background I used the Heartfelt stencil from the kit, I used the life changing blender brushes with GKD Red Velvet ink.  I then stamped the sentiment, I die cut the sentiment with the GKD singled rectangle die set, and framed the sentiment with black cardstock with the GKD double stitched rectangle die set.  I adhered this to the base of my card.


I hope you have been inspired! Please stop over to Facebook page for more inspiration! Come back tomorrow for Day 3 for the Gina K. Designs January 2020 Illustrator blog hop.

All my cards I'm showing today is an A2 card measuring 4 1/2 x 5 1/2.  I used some markers to color the stamp from the Be the Rainbow by Emily Loggans.  I used my Misti so I could get a clean and clear image.  I stamped the cloud from the Be the Rainbow set and then stamped it again and fuzzy cut it and used foam squares to pop it up on my card.  I cut the sentiment and stamped it onto my card.


My next card I am using the Massive Peony by Hannah Schroepfer Drapinski.  I stamped the image using Gina K. Designs Amalgam Jet Black ink.  I die cut the floral image with the matching die.  I colored the image with copics (YG03, 17, 67, B24, 26, 28, R81, 83, 85) .  The black and white paper is from Gina K. Designs pattern paper petite patterns.  I had a piece of foiled paper in my scraps I cut a 1/4 inch stripe and added it to my card.  The sentiment is from the Gina K. Designs stamped set Embroidered Flowers.  


I am using Gina K. Designs Stormy Sky cardstock.  I am using the You Anchor My Soul stamp set, I stamped the Anchor with Gina K. Designs ink Soft Stone, I die cut the images and colored the flower and leaves with copics (Y13, 17, 19, YG03, 17, 67) and stamped the berries with Cherry Red.  I adhered the flower and sentiment with Gina K. Designs Foam Squares.


I am using the You Anchor My Soul stamp set again.  I showed this card on release night.  I embossed the anchor with Gina K. Designs Fine Detail embossing powder, I stamped and die cut the images, I colored the flower with copics (B24, 26, 28).  I fuzzy cut the word "soul" and used some wink of stella and glossy accent on the word for dimension.  I stamped the sentiment with Gina K. Designs embossing and watermark ink, used Gina K. Designs fine detail white embossing powder and heat set it.  I used some white splatter on the background.
