Gina K. Designs - August 2026 NEW Release - Otterly Delightful!

Gina K. Designs August 2026 Release is NOW available and can be found HERE.

Hello everyone! 

I’m excited to share these two fun and adorable cards featuring the new Otterly Delightful Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs! These playful otters made creating these cards so much fun, and I love how they capture that carefree summer feeling. 

Be sure to check out ALL the new products release this month.  You can also find lots of inspiration over at Gina K. Designs & Stamp TV Friends Facebook page.  All supplies I used are listed below.

For my first card, I created the sky background using the Sea, Sun and Sky Stencil. I used Master Layouts 16 to die cut the bottom layer, added some ink splatters for extra interest, and adhered it to the card. I stamped, die cut, and colored the adorable images from the Otterly Delightful Stamp Set, then added them to the card using foam squares for dimension. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment and using the coordinating die to cut it out before adding it to the card.

For my first card, I created the sky background using the Sea, Sun and Sky Stencil. I used Master Layouts 2 to die cut the layers and adhered it to the card. I stamped, die cut, and colored the adorable image and the water puddle from the Otterly Delightful Stamp Set, then added them to the card using foam squares for dimension. I finished the card by stamping the sentiment and using the coordinating die to cut it out before adding it to the card.

I absolutely love how these sweet little otters bring so much personality to both cards. This new Otterly Delightful Stamp Set is definitely one you’ll want to add to your collection!

Happy crafting!

I love creating handmade card sets as gifts, and this set of five cards was so much fun to put together! I used the beautiful Primrose Garden Basics Collection (12x12) patterned paper from Paper Rose as the focal point for each card. The soft floral design paired perfectly with the simple, elegant sentiments.

For the sentiments, I pulled out a favorite retired Taylored Expressions set, Handlettered stamp set, which was released in 2019. I heat embossed the Just a Note sentiment in white onto a dark gray circle for a crisp contrast. The remaining sentiments are from Taylored Expressions Pop Sentiments stamp set, released in 2024.

I kept the card designs simple so the gorgeous patterned paper could really shine, adding a few scattered embellishments for a little extra sparkle. I made five cards to coordinate as a gift set—perfect for sending a little note of friendship, gratitude, or encouragement!

Supplies:

• Paper Rose – Primrose patterned paper
• Taylored Expressions – Hand Letter (retired, 2019)
• Taylored Expressions – Pop Sentiments (2024)
• White embossing powder
• Dark gray cardstock
• Embellishments

Newton's Nook Designs - New Release Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!

I had so much fun creating this bright and festive birthday card using the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set, Corner Flip Die Set, and Card Layout 6.

For this design, I let the colorful gift-patterned paper take center stage. I used Card Layout 6 to create the fun four-corner arrangement, adding coordinating blue cardstock and striped paper for contrast. The Corner Flip Die Set adds an interesting detail to the center of the design and gives the card a little extra dimension.

For the focal point, I stamped the “BIG Birthday Wishes!” sentiment onto blue cardstock and heat embossed it in white. The bold sentiment really stands out against the colorful background and pulls all the elements together.

I love how this card combines bright colors, playful patterns, and a classic birthday sentiment to create a fun card that is sure to make someone smile!

Newton's Nook Designs - Thanks a Latte

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

It’s Donna here, today I am sharing a fun coffee-themed thank you card featuring the big Thanks a Latte Die Set.  There’s nothing better than sending a little handmade appreciation! Today I’m sharing a fun coffee-themed thank you card featuring the Thanks a Latte Word Die as the focal point. I love how the bold die-cut sentiment stands out against the warm orange tone background.

 

The patterned paper is from the Coffee Shop Paper Pad, and I used the Fractured Frame Layout Die to create a modern, geometric design that adds lots of visual interest. To finish the card, I stamped, colored, and die cut the adorable little coffee cup from the Coffee Delights Stamp Set, adding the perfect finishing touch beneath the sentiment.

 

Thank you for stopping by, please come back again for more inspiration!
