Joy Clair - Christmas Poinsettia

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair featuring the newly release Everyday set called "3d Christmas Poinsettia".  This set is an amazing set it is a 6x8 set.  There are several petals to layer the poinsettia and many sentiments and elements to decorate your card.  This would be perfect for your Christmas cards!

Here is how I put my card together:

1. My card is an A2 size card,
2. I cut a black and pink piece of card stock 4 x 5 and die cut the design on the bottom, I cut about an 1/8 inch on the three sides of the pink card stock so they were layered,
3. I stamped the three larger petals of the poinsettia and leaves (2) with versamark on vellum paper, I added some white embossing powder and heat set them,
4.  I colored the backside of each petals and leaves with copics,
5.  I then adhered the leaves on the card, and then used pop dots in the middle of each set of petal,
6.  I then stamped some of the twigs from the set with versamark and added white embossing powder and heat set them,
7.  I then added some gold NUVO around the twigs and in the middle of the poinsettia,
8.  I then stamped the sentiment "Noel" with versamark and added black embossing powder and heat set it.

Hello Friend - Gina K designs

Hello everyone,

I don't know if you noticed the store has been closed all week, because Gina K Designs is moving to a new location but the store will be open tomorrow!  I don't know about you, but I cannot wait.  I have been going through withdrawals.

I'm stopping in to share a card I created with Gina K. Stamps "Hello Friend". This is a brand new incentive stamp set that was release with the StampTV kit Sending Love kit.   The stamp set ships free with any $75.00 order! This set will ship automatically without adding to your cart. 

Here is the card I created.  I embossed the two flowers and leaves randomly on vellum with white embossing powder.  The vellum is thick and it's great for heat embossing.  I colored the flowers and leaves with copic markers on the back side of the vellum.  I love the way the colors peak out of the white embossed flowers and leaves.  I then adhered the vellum piece on the Gina K's Pure Luxury cardstock Turquoise Sea.  I finished my card with adding dew drops that match perfect with the cardstock.

If you missed the StampTV release party for the "Sending Love Kit" here are some of the cards I created using the kit.  Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!
