...Gina K August 2017 – Inspiration Blog Hop - Day Two



The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new stamp sets by Gina K and the illustrator team from Gina K. Designs! We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projects as you hop along to each of the designer’s blogs! Today we are featuring the new stamp sets by Beth Silaika and little old me!

First up is Beth's set - Todd Turtle:

My card for this set features that cute crab! LOL, that is gonna be such a useful sentiment in this house... I used the Water droplets stencil from Gina K to create the background, perfect for this stamp set! this little set is jam packed with punny sentiments and cute critters!


Next up is my set - Perfect Poinsettia: It's a layering set and I have a little cheat sheet showing you how to layer these easily. Feel free to screenshot this for future reference!

If you have this set, you will notice that I kept the centres of each of the layer stamps as similar as possible so that you can just line these up over each other to get a perfect match - the video is coming tho if you need a little visual!


I have two cards for this post, for which I created a red poinsettia and a white poinsettia. Gina's inks are great for layering and you could create just about any combination of colours!

I made the green leaves behind the flowers by just re-stamping the main flower in shades of green, super simple!
