Gina K. Designs and Thermoweb Tropical Sunshine Kit

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to be here sharing a couple of cards I created using the NEWLY released Gina K. Designs and Thermoweb Tropical Sunshine Kit. This kit is gorgeous and has so many pieces to it that you can create lots of projects.

Here are the two cards I created with the kit.

My card is an A2 card, I used Master Layouts 1 to cut the two layers, and used the top layers with Master Layouts 1 also.  I used the fancy foil toner sheets with the green grass fancy foil to die cut the palms of the  trees and the wild dandelion fancy foil to cut the trunks of the trees.  I used the the twinkling Pink to cut the word "sunshine".  I stamped the words using GKD Embossing and Watermark ink along with the fine detail white embossing powder.  I die cut the words using the sentiment strips.

My second card, I used the Master Layouts 1 to die cut the layers.  I used the stencil in the kit to create the sunset using GKD inks (coral reef, passionate pink and sweet corn).  

I hope I have inspired you to want this kit, it really is fun!  

Thanks for stopping by!

I started out by masking off the ground and the sky with GKD Masking Magic.  I ink blended the ground using GKD Blending tools with Dark Chocolate, the sky I used Sea Glass.  I then stamped the scenery image from the "Beautiful Barnyard" stamp set with GKD Amalgem Obsidian Black ink.  I used copics to color the background.  I then die cut the panel and the black layer using GKD Master Layouts 2.  The sentiment is also from the "Beautiful Barnyard" stamp set.

My second card I started with masking off the grass and the sky with GKD Masking Magic.  I ink blended with GKD Blending tools with Sea Glass for the sky and Green Grass for the grass.  I stamped the fence with Dark Chocolate and colored it with copics.  I stamped and cut the cow and colored with copics and added the images to the card base.

Newton's Nook Designs - Loves Mew

Hello everyone!

Have you finished making your Valentine cards? I have some inspiration today using the Newton's Nook Designs "Newton's Antics" Stamp Set. This set is an oldy, but goody set that can be used for lots of occasions. It is so adorable.... I used the image of the cute kitties snuggling together, perfect to send someone for Valentine's.

Here is how I created my card:

My card is an A2 top folding card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I used the Frames & Flags Die to die cut the scallop background using last year's Valentine paper called "Love & Meows" 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut the hearts from the Heart Frames Die Set and adhered them to the card.

I colored the images from the "Newton's Antics" Stamp Set with alcohol markers.  I adhered the cute kitties to the heart along with the toy mouse.  I stamped the hearts onto the white heart die cut and colored them with alcohol markers.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the "Newton's Antics" Stamp Set and added it to the card.  

I love this cheery card!  I hope you have been inspired and want to create some Valentine cards for your loved ones.
