GINA K. DESIGNS SEPTEMBER 2021 RELEASE

Hello everyone!

I am here sharing some cards I created using the NEWLY release products from the September 2021 release by Gina K. Designs! I always say this is my best release ever, but I really think this one is. I love Christmas and I love Fall, this release has a little of both. I am using the "Forever" stamp set illustrated by Lisa Hetrick and "Winter Wonderland" illustrated by Beth Silaika. You can see more inspiration from the full release on the Gina K. Designs & StampTV Friends Facebook page. To see the full release, you can go HERE under the What's New section.

Here are my cards for your inspiration:

The next two cards are created using the "Forever" stamp set illustrated by Lisa Hetrick.

• Use the wreath builder to create my card.  The card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.  
• Stamped the greenery from the Forever stamp set in GKD Jelly Bean Green and the acorns in GKD Dark Chocolate. 
• Stamp sentiment "forever" and the "grateful" is a die from the stencil bundle Fluttering Fall.

My second card using the Forever Stamp set:

• A2 card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/5
• Used GKD Master Layouts 2 to cut layers
• Stamped the leaves randomly on my card using GKD inks Plum Punch, Faded Brick, Jelly Bean Green, and Honey Mustard.  The acorns stamped with GKD Dark Chocolate.
• Stamped the sentiment from the the "Forever" stamp set and die cut it with a banner from GKD Master Layouts 2.

My next two cards I created using the Winter Wonderland illustrated by Beth Silaika.

• Used the GKD Master Layout 1 to cut the top layer, I used the technique Gina uses by taking a mini ink cube and run it down the card, alternating from top to bottom.  I used GKD ink Soft Stone.
• I then die cut the window from GKD Master Layout 5.
• Inked blended the background using GKD inks Sea Glass, Tranquil Teal and In the Navy.  
• Stamped the tree from the Winter Wonderland stamp set and the bird onto the ink blended panel.
• Splattered some GKD White Pigment ink to look like snow.
• Stamped the poinsettia from the Winter Wonderland stamp set.
• Stamped the sentiment from the Winter Wonderland stamp set and assembled the card.  

My second card using Winter Wonderland illustrated by Beth Silaika.

• Mini slimline card measuring 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored at 3 1/4 on the 6 1/2 side.
• The top layers are cut using GKD Master Layouts 7.
• Inked blended the background with Sea Glass.  
• Stamped the snowflakes using GKD Sea Glass ink from the Winter Wonderland stamp set.
• Cut the snow hills from GKD Master Layouts 6 and inked with GKD Soft Stone. 
• Stamped the tree and bird onto the panel from the Winter Wonderland stamp set.
• Stamped the snowman, added the buttons, eyes, mouth and nose.  Stamped the hat and die cut them and used foam squares to pop him up onto the card.

Kat Scrappiness - Holiday Inspiration

Hello everyone!

I am here with Kat Scrappiness, Inc., sharing two fun cards I did using the newly released Christmas Wishes and Happy Holidays word dies with shadows.  

Before I get started I wanted to let you know Kat Scrappiness has a sale on ALL adhesive, its a great time to stock up if you are planning to make holiday cards.

For my first card I created an A2 size card. I am using the Christmas Wishes w/Shadow Dies, that I die cut with mirrored cardstock and added it on vellum. I then cut strips from the KS A Cozy Christmas Slimline Paper and Cuppa Christmas Slimline Paper and added it to the base of my card that I die cut with the KS Embossed Edge Rectangle Die and finished the card off adding some KS Ocean Blue Pearl Mix.

For my second card I created an A2 size card. I am using the Happy Holidays w/Shadow Die, that I die cut with glitter cardstock and added it on the glitter shadow. I then cut strips from the KS Sugar Plum Faries Slimline Paper and added it to the base of my card that I die cut from the KS Stitched Rectangle Dies and finished the card off adding some KS Plum Pearl Mix.

RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE BLOG #167 - Sketch

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a sketch. I love sketch challenges. I hope you enjoy creating something with this sketch. If you have not joined our challenges before, the rules are very simple, just use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. I cannot wait to see you take on it.

Here is my take on the sketch challenge. The stamp set I am using is created by Penny Black called Harvest Wishes. It was released in September 2020.

My card is an A2 card, I used some design paper from my stash, I stamped the bold image and colored it with copics, then stamped and fuzzy cut the sentiment.  I finished off the card by adding enamel dots from my stash.

Are you ready to play along? Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get some more inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, you have until March 20th to join the fun!
