STAMPtember® 2025 Gina K Designs Shimmering Christmas

Hello everyone!

I am here with Gina K. Designs and Simon Says Stamp celebrating STAMPtember®! Simon Says Stamp has collaborated with Gina K with an exclusive stamp set designed by Gina K. called "Shimmering Christmas". This set is only available while supplies last, so don't wait, head over to Simon Says Stamps and get this set. For more inspiration, please stop by Simon Says Stamps blog.


Here are my cards for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card. I created a shaker card.  I stamped and heat embossed the tree image from the Shimmering Christmas with GKD Silver embossing powder.  I then die cut the top layer with GKD ML 2 and then used the tree die cut to cut out the center.  I added acetate to this panel, added GKD 

Double-sided Adhesive Foam Shaker Strips to the back of the acetate panel.  I added the GKD Clear Quartz Solid Sequins onto the embossed panel and added the acetate panel ontop.  I added the panels to the A2 card.  I stamped the sentiment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set and added it to the front of the card.

My second card is an A2 card also, but I have created a fun fold.  This is not my design, I found it on youtube and the fun fold is called "diagonal card fold" if you want to search Youtube for the dimensions.  I used the GKD Snowflakes embossing folder for the background.  I stamped, embossed and die cut the tree from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set and added to the top layer of the card.  I finished it off by adding the sentiment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.

This is the inside of the card.  I did the two stamp technique on the inside using the oranment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.  I then stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment also from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.

I hope you were inspired and was able to get this set, remember this is while supplies last!

My card is an A2 card, that I created a shaker.  The background paper is from Newton's Nook Designs Spring Blooms Paper Pad, that I die cut the background with the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I stamped the Spring Roundabout Stamp onto white card stock and colored the images with alcohol markers.  I then die cut it with second scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. I die cut the scallop circle from again from the Circle Frames Die Set and used the second largest circle to cut the center.  I added some accetate to the back of the scalloped circle, added some foam tape to the back and added some embellishmnets from my stash and adhered the image to the back.  I adhered it to the base of my card.  I then stamped and embossed the sentiment and added it to the card.

Kat Scrappiness - Happy Valentine's Day

Hello everyone!

I am here again guest designing for Kat Scrappiness.  Have you seen the NEW release?  Kat Scrappiness has 6 new mini slimline dies, an adorable Quokka Valentine Stamp set and several Valentine Sprinkles.  I am in love with the slimline dies, they make the perfect sized card.  You can find the full collection here.

Today, I am sharing two cards, on both cards I am using the newly released Valentine Quokka stamp set.  The first card I am using the newly released mini slimline Diamond Wire & Wood Grain die and my second card I used the newly released mini slimline Scalloped Edge and Embossed Edge dies.

My first card, I created the card base at 3 x 6, I then die cut the slimline Diamond Wire & Wood Grain die.  I used some acetate on the back of the diamond slimline and created a shaker card.  I added the newly released Love Hearts and Talk About It Sprinkles for the shaker.  I then stamped and die cut the Quokkas from the Valentine Quokka stamp set and colored them with copics.  For more interest I added the Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched die in the back of the Quokkas.  To finish the card off, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Valentine Quokka stamp set with white embossing powder.

My second card, I created a mini slimline card measuring 3 x 6.  I die cut the scalloped layer with the Scalloped Edge mini slimline die, the next layer I used some design paper called Be My Valentine by Echo Park and die cut it using the mini slimline Embossed Edge dies.  I stamped and colored the Quokka from the Valentine Quokka stamp set.  I added the image to my card and stamped the sentiment from the Valentine Quokka stamp set.

Birthday Celebration!

Hello everyone,

I'm here with CottageCutz sharing with you a birthday card which is another shaker card!  Here is my card:

Closer look at the presents and shaker

How I made this card........

The size of my card is an A2(4 1/4 X 5 1/2), the solid layer is the same size and the design layer is 4 x 5.  Who has used the Stitched Wide Frames?  They are wonderful to make shaker cards.  The circle stitched frame on my card is from the Stitched Wide Circle Frame Set.  There are three sizes in the set.  I used the largest circle.   To make the shaker I cut a circle from a clear plastic sheet and fused the edges leaving an opening to put my sequins in.  Once I filled it, I fused the small opening I left open.  I then used my tape runner to tape the circle and the pouch I made.  Then I taped it to the card.  So simple, no message glue to deal with!

I used the Present die to cut the two presents.  After cutting the two presents, I shaded the edges with ink and cut small boxes for the back of the presents so you could not see through the back.  Also, you can see the hearts that run down the center of the box.

I finished the card off with a sentiment.  That was easy peasy!  Why don't you give it a try and make this card with the Present die!

Please come back soon to see some more creations from the design team!
