Here is my card for your inspiration:

D. Idlet, Newton's Nook Designs, Lattice Die,Daisies Die Set,Jar Hot Foil Plate & Die, Spring, flowers

My card is an A2 card.  I die cut the Lattice Die and used the design daisy paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad.  I adhered both of these layers to the card.  I then die cut the jar from the 
Jar Hot Foil Plate & Die using vellum.  I used an alcohol marker to color the vellum to look like water.  I then die cut the daisies from the Daisies Die Set, arranged them onto the jar and added it to the card front.  To finish off the card, I used the Circle Frames die to die cut the sentiment from the 
Chrysanthemum stamp set.

Tuesday, April 8, 2025

 Gina K. Designs APRIL 2024 Release is NOW available and can be found HERE.



Hello everyone!

I am here today featuring the NEW Gina K. Designs "Anniversary Flowers" Stamp Set illustrated by Arjita Sepaha Singh! I love this set! This set has two beautiful flowers and a large bold Happy Anniversary greeting along with several strip sentiments that go with it or some separately. Be sure to check out ALL the new products released this month. 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:


My first card is an A2 card.  The top layer is die cut from Master Layouts 4, before removing the die, I ink blended blue ink onto the panel.  I cut a piece of cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 add it to the card base and attached the scallop panel.  I stamped the sentiment onto the panel, then stamped and die cut the image from the NEWLY released Anniversary Flowers Stamp Set.  I colored the image with alcohol markers.  I added foam squares onto the floral image and added it to the card.  I finished off the card by adding some black pearls.


My second card, is an A2 card.  I cut two layers one black and the other passionate pink.  I embossed the top layer from GKD Petite Florish.  I then die cut the frame from Master Layouts 18.  I adhered the layers and added them to the card base.  I then stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Anniversary Flowers Stamp Set with GKD black onyx ink.  I then stamped, die cut and colored the image from the Anniversary Flowers stamp set and adhered it to the card.  To finish off the card, I added the black hearts from the Black and White Hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please come back again soon.
