GINA K. DESIGNS - SEPTEMBER 2023 NEW RELEASE

The Gina K. Designs September 2023 Release is NOW available and can be found HERE.

Hello everyone!

I am here today featuring the NEW Gina K. Designs "Christmas Cuties" stamp set illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger and the "On the Inside - Christmas" stamp sets. These stamp sets are perfect for the holiday season.  You can also find lots of inspiration over at Gina K. Designs & StampTV Friends Facebook page. All supplies I used are listed below.

Here are my cards for your inspiration:

I am using the "Christmas Cuties" on these cards.  My cards is are A2 card, the first card I am using GKD Christmas Tree Cover Plate.  I created a shaker card, using GKD Emerald City sequins.  I stamp the Santa, Reindeer and gifts from the Christmas Cuties stamp set, colored the images with alcohol makers.  The sentiment was stamped and embossed with GKD Fine Detail White embossing powder.  I used GKD Master Layout 2 for the black layer.   

My second card is also using the "Christmas Cuties" stamp set.  The first layer, I used Thermowebs Toner Sheets and heat set GKD Fancy Foil - Sparkling Foil for the background.  I then foil another piece with Radiant Red and used the red layers to inlay the words.  I stamped the angel from the Christmas Cuties stamp set and colored her with copics.  For finishing touches, I added some glitter to the angels wings and halo.  

My next card, I created using the "On the Inside - Christmas" stamp sets.  As you can see, I used the sentiments on the outside of the card.  I think they can be used for both.  I used Master Layouts 12 to cut the frame and the stitched layers.  The background I used GKD Medium Spruce with the Harvest Flourish.  

My last card is also an A2 card.  I ink blended the background with GKD ink (Sea Glass and In the Navy).  I ink splattered with white ink.  I then die cut the houses and other elements from GKD Winter Wonderland dies.  I cut a piece of card stock for the sentiment which I used the On the Inside - Christmas stamp set.  I then die cut the layers using Master Layouts 2.  

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired.

Newton's Nook Designs - Time to Celebrate

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring an adorable card I created with the newly released stamp set called "Birthday Barks" with the coordinating die. The background paper is from the newly released "Birthday Woofs" Paper Pad. I love the images in this stamp set, it's perfect for the dog lover to send a birthday card to.

My card is an A2 size card. I die cut the scalloped background piece from the Frames & Flags Set. I then cut the top balloon layer from the NEWLY released "Birthday Woofs" 6x6 Paper Pad. I foiled the NEWLY released "Confetti Hot Foil Plate" and added it next to the balloon paper and added it to the base of the card. I then stamped the image from the "Birthday Barks" stamp set and colored it with alcohol markers and adhered it onto an oval stitched die from NND Oval Frames Die Set and added it to the center of the card. 

I foiled the sentiment using the Birthday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and die cut it using the Banner Duo Die Set. I used foam tape to adhere it to the card. To finish off the card I added some rhinestones from my stash.
