Gina K and the team have received such amazing
feedback on the new Foil-Mates, Fancy Foils and dies that we have decided to
put together a special hop for you today! This blog hop is a blend of a video
blog hop featuring tutorials from Gina K and a few members of the team and a
traditional blog hop featuring beautiful cards from other members of the
team.
Over the past few weeks, the Foil-Mates products have been flying
off the shelves at Gina K Designs. Please be assured that if they are out-of-stock,
they will quickly be back on the shelves again soon. In fact, Gina just stocked
the shelves with a fresh batch of Foil-Mates, Fancy Foils and dies and more
will be on the way.
If you are new to Foil-Mates, they are used to step-up the shimmer
and shine in your card projects! Creating cards is never more easy and
beautiful when you work with this new line of foil products. From beautiful pre-printed
Foil-Mates, to stunning colors of Fancy Foils, when you combine them together
the outcome is stunning! Discover how many various
combinations of different cards and invitations you are able to create with
Gina’s Foil-Mates products. With many of Gina’s most popular signature colors
now available in foil, coordinating with Gina K Designs card stock and ink has
never been easier!
We would like to thank Therm O Web for being such a great partner
in the Foil-Mates line of products.

the hop and that person will win a $50 Gina K Designs gift certificate! To see
who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few

I have created for today’s hop:
My first card features the Birthday Essentials Foil-Mates Sentiments set. I cut the image out using the Foil-Mates Rectangle Large set and foiled it with Passionate Pink - Fancy Foil. I then used the Stars and Stripes foil Mates and used Passionate Pink - Fancy Foil for the polka dots and the Turquoise Sea Foil - Fancy Foils for the stripes. I am in love with all these foils, it sure does make a classy card for anyone you want to send one to.

My next card, I am using the Birthday Essentials Foil-Mates Sentiments set again. The background, I used the Stars & Stripes Foil-Mates, I foiled the stars with Jelly Bean Foil - Fancy Foils and the stripes with Turquoise Sea Foil - Fancy Foils. I used the negative that I foiled from the card above. It's so nice that you can use every piece of the foil if you have To the Deco Foil Toner Sheets.

I die cut the True Friend - foil-Mates sentiment and then foiled it with the Jelly Bean Fancy Foil. I added all the elements to my card.
