<div style="text-align: center;">
Can we just take a second to admire the detail in those hearts!! detailed stamps are my favourite!! I stamped these in a silver ink and then added teeny tiny wee blingy crystals using the fabby new connect glue from Gina K. I love the applicator tip on this glue! I stamped the sentiment in versamark and heat set clear embossing powder over it, I like a bit of subtle with my bling, lol.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Good morning/afternoon folks! Welcome to the second day of hops with the Gina K design team for our January release stamp sets! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">My apologies to anyone who tuned in yesterday expecting to see my day one post, due to unforseen electrical issues I was not able to get up and running yesterday. Many, many bad words were spoken, and <i><b>with feeling</b></i>, but hopefully today's post will make it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Today we are featuring sets from Theresa, Lisa and myself! Be sure to

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">OK first up is the new set by Theresa, its called <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3074&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Framescapes, Enchanted Forest</b></a> and it's a delightfully whimsical scene builder:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">I love how, as well as the large frame scene satmp it's also possible to create litle tiny mini scenes and I have concentrated on those for my samples:</span></div>

I adore this mushroom stamp and had to create a little scene around it! I isolated the tiny scene on my card by dry embossing a decorative frame around it and sponging, with the die still in place, to create a focal place for my scene on the card front. I coloured with copics and added some white dots with paint. y fairy and her butterfly friend are playing hide and seek and they are stamped in Dark Chocolate ink.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My next bunch of samples show the 3 fairies from the set in their own little scenes, these are just delightful for tags and other tiny items! Much sponging, and then stamping with Gina K inks, which work beautifully on these solid stamps, I love the coverage.</div>

Since I am always thinking Christmas, the first thing I envisaged with this set was a Christmas Wreath and thankfully Lisa had included the word 'Joy' as part of a sentiment on the set, perfect! I just masked off that one word and made it my focal sentiment. I stamped the wreath twice and added various bits and bobs with the accessory stamps until I was happy! Finished with a couple of dabs of that fabby new goo - Crystalline drops, new by Gina K! LOVE that stuff.</div>

Playing with that wreath again, this time in more harvest-y colours - I thought I might accent the sentiment with a copic marker this time, I quite like this effect! Also thought it'd be fun to do a little piercing actually on the wreath stamp, I love how this turned out.</div>

This one might be my favourite though! I stamped all my images with pure lemon juice and then used my heat tool to make them come alive as scorch marks, then I went back in with a fine liner in brown and sort of doodled the outlines of the stamps - this is a great way to add your own style to any given stamp, you really should try this, you can't go wrong!</div>

I foiled it in that glorious red shade before layering it onto two different backgrounds that I made with the Ornamental Holiday and Holiday Flora Foil Mates. I used plain black card for matting and filled in around the outer area of the label with a black marker to make my large label co-ordinate with the black mats. It was super simple, but very effective!</div>

I created a little Holiday packaging for my next project and I wanted to show you a neat way to incorporate those pretty foils into other areas using double sided tape. The pics are pretty self explanatory, but basically I used strong double sided tape to add to co-ordinating striped to my plain red tin. I picked up the stripe design from the background tag that I had foiled with the ornamental holiday candy stripe Foil Mate sheet. Here's a series of pics to show you how:</div>

Todays sets are <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3035&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Purrfect Christmas</b></a> from Chris, isn't this fun! I chose to have my putty cat dreaming of his Christmas plans but there are so many other options for scene creation in this set! I coloured my cat like a ginger tabby, cos that's my fave, but you can create any kind of feline buddy that you want!</div>

And this adorable mouse - <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3034&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Noelle Mouse set</b></a> from Beth - another super scene builder - I popped her in front of a Christmas tree, also in the set and gave her a candy cane, she looks suitably happy! The tiny little motif stamps in this set are great for creating backgrounds and accents, I used the mini holly to frame the aperture!<br />

I am loving creating tags with Melanies new Fabulous Labels stamp set, couldn't resist adding a little colour to the wee houses - just stamped the image again in red and trimmed out the houses with a knife and stuck them on top of the blue stamped image!<br />

I used that glorious maple leaf stamp for todays card - I inked up the solid shape in Sweet Mango and Cherry red (both Gina K Inks) using the rock and roll technique. Then I over-stamped the line image in brown. The leaves were then trimmed out with the matching dies! lastly I set them down on a piece of foam and rubbed over them with the rounded bottom end of a pen to make them curl before adhering them to my card base. I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash (it's from the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2450&categoryId=23" target="_blank">Gina K Autumn wishes paper pack</a>) The thankful die used to create the sentiment panel is also in this kit!</div>

It's always exciting to get new stamps, but a week or two ago I got a very special package from Simon Says stamp - in it was this set - it's a new Gina K set produced in collaboration with <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrfbt39eR1gIVS77tCh1LDAJbEAAYASAAEgIhMPD_BwE" target="_blank"><b>Simon Says Stamp</b></a> for their Stamptember event!<br />
<br />
There's a blog hop going on today to celebrate and I would encourage you to visit the other DT folks blogs to see what they've made with this cracking set:<br />

I created this card to celebrate the launch of this set - thought it would be fun to have the snowmen playing hide and seek in the trees. The trees are clear embossed onto white card and then I sponged shades of blue over them to create an evening sky background. I sliced down the side of some of the tree trunks and slotted in my fussy cut my snowmen. Love these guys!<br />
<br />
This is a cracking set and I cannot wait to see what everyone else has done with it. This set is exclusively available from Simon says Stamp and there are matching dies which may be purchased separately - but you need to scoop these up quick, it's my understanding that when it's gone, it's gone!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895943960950095652noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-12817610075493798092017-09-06T14:00:00.000+01:002017-09-06T15:32:28.765+01:00...Gina K August 2017 – Inspiration Blog Hop - Day Two<div style="text-align: center;">

My card for this set features that cute crab! LOL, that is gonna be such a useful sentiment in this house... I used the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2960&categoryId=301" target="_blank"><b>Water droplets stencil from Gina K</b></a> to create the background, perfect for this stamp set! this little set is jam packed with punny sentiments and cute critters!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
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!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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!</div>

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

Ready for some inspiration? Here are a few of the projects I have created for today’s hop: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first card features Melanie's new set, <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3004&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Fabulous Rose Frame</b></a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3004&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=3004&categoryId=16" border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="499" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdhLPf-QEuRZEwLYpxtt7raTIKpMVZqYCH_NgT3U8BQzA5qVFApft8eEPJhA9QKyG-YknrxytST_wzgae0bFX76BoBEcc5GbZVMEsYkNQiKuI3ZjaNiOWAuBdfPK7Wuz8ssgXHoZw4nuU/s640/Screen+Shot+2017-09-05+at+13.22.24.png" width="482" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I stamped the largest image onto white cardstock and coloured it with copics. I then trimmed it out with the matching die. I went round the outside of the image with a black copic marker so that when I mounted it on a black card base, the flowers and leaves would look like they were floating in the black. I like this look it reminds me of toleware.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp has space in the centre for a sentiment and for my second card I thought I'd colour in the centre space black as well and then use the small oval die from the matching die set. I sliced around the 4 central leaves and popped them open a little so I could slide in the oval, which I gently curved. I like how this looks also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the simple tree shapes in versamark and clear embossed them on white card and then I got out the sponges and went crazy sponging with Gina K Inks, Passionate Pink, Wild Dandelion, Jellybean Green and Sweet Mango, I love these shades together. I wanted a nice cheery card to reinforce the feel better soon sentiment, also from the set. I sponged the card base to match and popped the image up on white and pink mats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't resist gold embossing the dragon fly image several times on a white card front, I thin gold embossing looks fab coloured with shades of teal and green, which I used here on the dragon flies. I love this sentiment, also from Theresa's set!</div>

I paired up my wise old owl with one of the papers from the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2252&categoryId=-1" target="_blank"><b>Simple Things paper pack</b></a>. I took my colour inspration from the paper and created a wee background for my owl using trees and bushes from the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2885&categoryId=-1" target="_blank"><b>Cottage Garden</b></a> set.<br />
<br />

<br />
I love this guy with his mug of hot stuff, I made him the focal point and cut him out using the matching dies. I created a patterned BG paper by stamping all of the owls in black ink onto the<br />
Blue lagoon cardstock.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The peony stamp is so pretty, I embossed it in gold and then just coloured it simply in pink and gold - I could see this for a wedding card also!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here was a card you might have seen already, but in case not, I popped it in to show how the peony stamp is so detailed that you really don't even need to colour it if you need a quick card. Here it's embossed in copper.<br />

The Cast and Crew for <a href="http://ginakdesigns.com/">Gina K Designs</a> welcomes you to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new stamp sets by Gina K! This month, we are celebrating the release of the Boho Flowers mini kit and three other stamp sets by Gina K Designs! These sets are Wise Old Owl, Peony Wishes and the new incentive set Grand Greetings. 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 Boho Flowers mini kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I stamped the images in black ink and then clear embossed them. I used the flourishes to create a little frame for my sentiment, and then I stamped the flowers on a piece of separate card and die cut them with the dies from the kit. I popped them up on top. I love the flowers from this set, they really lend themselves to colouring and I used strong colours here to make them pop. I added the 'you' sentiment to the inside of my card, along with another flower to finish.</div>

Folks if you were at the Gina K new release party on Thursday night you might have seen this card already, I wasn't able to make the party but I think some kindly soul was able to share a couple of my cards. Gina has just released a beautiful <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2966&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>new kit called Boho Flowers</b></a> and this is a card I have made using the butterfly stamp from that kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the butterfly 8 times with Versamark onto white card and then added some clear embossing powder. After heating the powder to set it I coloured the detail on the butterflies with some muted shades using copics. After that I sponged some Kraft ink (Gina K Ink) over the butterflies to help define their outer edged. I simply trimmed the panel and mounted it on a black mat and then onto a kraft card base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I die cut the word 'you' and mounted it over a little strip of white card onto which I had sponged the phrase 'mean the world to me'. I love how this came together and I'm super excited to see what else I can do with this kit. look out for our DT blog hop - think it's happening on Monday!</div>

For my first card I stamped the lilies in Dark Chocolate ink and coloured them with copics. I decided to add a pale blue background also with a copic marker, I like how this makes the white lilies stand out all the better. There's a wealth of sentiments in this set, and I added the sentiment 'Congratulations on your adoption' I have never had a set that contained that sentiment before! How neat!</div>

For my second card I decided to try and see what the lilies would look like coloured in with white pencil on black cardstock. I stamped first with Gina K white pigment ink. I deliberately coloured up to just before the lines so that the detail wouldn't be lost. I like the look of this, but for my card I wanted to brighten up the image a little and so I double framed it with white borders. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut my apertures with the stitched oval (large) and stitched rectangle (large) dies from the Gina K/Thermoweb range. I cut slightly smaller apertures with the double stitched oval (small) and stitched rectangle (small) dies and layered them in behind the white apertures to get a sort of frame, within a frame look. The green oval is Jellybean green and the rectangle is a piece of white cardstock that had been sponged with Jellybean Green and Blue Lagoon. Finally I inked up the sentiment in Fresh Asparagus and Blue Lagoon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Incentive set currently is a cracking wee set called <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=99&categoryId=18" target="_blank"><b>Happy Mail</b></a>. Add these sentiment to the outside of your mailing envelopes, the back of cards, or use them as sentiments on your cards, this is a great addition!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore the whale in Beth's set and stamped it twice onto Gina K white cardstock. I coloured them with copics and then trimmed them out. I made a background panel by blending some Gina K Inks - I used Wild Dandelion, Jellybean Green and Blue Lagoon. I speckled the panel with some water and layered on my whales. I made some fun water spouts with pva glue - I just 'drew' the spouts freehand with the tip of my glue tube. It dried nice and clear and then I went over the spouts one last time with the glue again and this time added some white glitter, I love how this turned out.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my dolphin card I stamped the dolphin 4 tames and coloured him up. Again I stamped on white cardstock and trimmed them out. The sentiment panel was cut out with a circle stitch die from the Gina K/Thermoweb stitched circle die set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited about that background - I used one of the new Gina K STENCILS!!! it's called Water drop and instead of using it as a stencil, I embossed it onto white cardstock befroe sponging with Wild Dandelion and Sweet mango inks - I LOVE the look!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I arranged my dolphins around the circle to finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up - my new <b></b><a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Lovely Lilies</b></a> set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a layering set and it's quite easy to achieve different styles of flower with this set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first card is bold and contemporary - I used just the solid stamps to make the flower for this one. I trimmed it out and popped it up on a sponged background. I used a sentiment from Chris's new set (more on that tomorrow).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To achieve a more traditional style I used the outline stamps on the next couple of cards - I only used two of the solid layers on this flower. There's a handy graphic below that shows how to layer the solid stamps. I'm prepping a quick video on layering these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the card below I created my blooms in the same way, I stamped two of the solid layers in Tomato Soup and Innocent pink. Then I stamped the outlines and stamens in Dark Chocolate. The stamens were clear embossed also. The speckles were stamped in Lipstick. I layered them over some leaves and popped them up in front of a background that I created using the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2885&categoryId=-1" target="_blank"><b>Cottage Garden stamp set</b></a>. I thought it made a charming backdrop for this happily ever after card.</div>

I made a set of 3 cards with Melanie's new set - <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2953&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Pressed Flowers 2</b></a> to create backgrounds with stamping and sponging - I used the tiny versions of the flowers from Fabulous flowers to create the focal points on the white panel. The sentiments are in a lovely calligraphic font, also from the new set <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2953&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Pressed Flowers 2</b></a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
My next card also uses Melanie's set, this time I stamped the large flower in Sweet Mango and used a brown colouring pencil to add some shadows. The background panel was stamped in Sweet Corn, and some Honey Mustard Ink and cardstocks were used for the darker tan tones on the die cut leaves and border. <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2957" target="_blank"><b>The matching dies</b></a> are such a boon to this set!<br />

My next samples are made with Theresa's set <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2951&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Framescape - Tropical Skies</b></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used the main frame for this card and stamped in in black. I did all my sponging before stamping the setting sun in versamark and adding some white embossing powder. Then I took a white gel pen and added some highlights to my silhouetted images.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_i1N05quuxPpGJ-UopshrGAKZF7xuG24QiKAA6xzssIqnrMsK0WZO3KzDLMErnRmB0upqOFE9saX85xgrgrtMlGQ9EKVnLs1hrv9uxsaeRSm064NrXvsS2Dd_kYd-ZiVUr_3fBqMyXo/s1600/IMG_0038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_i1N05quuxPpGJ-UopshrGAKZF7xuG24QiKAA6xzssIqnrMsK0WZO3KzDLMErnRmB0upqOFE9saX85xgrgrtMlGQ9EKVnLs1hrv9uxsaeRSm064NrXvsS2Dd_kYd-ZiVUr_3fBqMyXo/s640/IMG_0038.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Been on a bit of a sponging bent and so created this background with some yummy shades - Wild Dandelion, Passionate Pink and Sweet Mango. Dropped some water splats because that's what all the cool kids are doing these days and I like how it looks. I cut a rectangle from the centre of the panel and then stamped my palm trees and setiment on it. Added a black mat and stuck it back in position. Fast card, but nice impact.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4JS_CW0kZinbfZM0N1fpNSddQUTaoLKTT70IgyD8V0WJ1yoRhrG2D5zPeazM6hgOu_g1XQSbijlSkgkPUdCopBabE8pQt7w6qlQQzZluyfnp1Q2AXRjKp55NKcmbf_mVP33kATN0zos/s1600/IMG_0042.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4JS_CW0kZinbfZM0N1fpNSddQUTaoLKTT70IgyD8V0WJ1yoRhrG2D5zPeazM6hgOu_g1XQSbijlSkgkPUdCopBabE8pQt7w6qlQQzZluyfnp1Q2AXRjKp55NKcmbf_mVP33kATN0zos/s640/IMG_0042.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Super simple one, a simple strip of Wild Dandelion cardstock sponged around the edges with sweet mango - then stamped with a small island image and some birdies and a simple sentiment.<br />
<br />
The black cardstock base was run through the embosser with one of the newest Gina K products - a stencil called <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2960&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Water droplets</b></a> - it embossed quite well even though that's not really what it is intended for. Try it!<br />

Morning folks and a very Happy 4th July to all my USA buddies! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A wee simple set of cards today for you, using just the solid stamps from the <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Lovely Lilies stamp set</b></a> this time, I left off the outlines and I love how this looks. Been playing with my Gina K Inks, layering them up and there are some fab combos to use, I have used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cherry Red, red Hot and Innocent Pink - the stamen is stamped in black and then clear embossed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Blue Lily uses Blue Lagoon and Ocean Mist, I only stamped two layers on this flower, Stamen was in Christmas Pine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Yellow Lily is stamped in Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion and Lemon Drop. This time the Stamen was stamped in Cherry Red. All sentiments were stamped in Black ink and co-ordinating cards from Gina K were used, I love matching inks and cardstock! :)</div>

I'm in shock, it's the first of July! How in heck? I really don't think I experience time the way everyone else in my house does, feel like I've just gotten squared up after Christmas... anywhoo...</div>

Today I have another card, this time a set, that I shared at the release party - there was quite the scramble on the StampTV website at the release party and the whole thing sort of froze so I'm popping my cards up here for anyone who wanted to see them. Gina has just released a cracking new bunch of goodies, to see what's new <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/category.sc;jsessionid=500A020C5D68603F2CDD9C255ECCB4F1.p3plqscsfapp002?categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>click here</b></a>.</div>

Among the goodies is my new set <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Lovely Lilies (above)</b></a>, and in contrast to yesterday's card, I made this quick set of more contemporary styled cards using just two layers of the lily flowers plus the stamen. I used Wild dandelion ink and Sweet mango on white card and the stamens were stamped in Cherry Red Gina K ink. I made the card base from Sweet Mango Card.love the matchy matchy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was at it I had fun playing with other inks from my Gina K collection. I love a stamp set that I can use to whip up fast cards!</div>

Morning! Last night we had the Gina K new stamp release - there's a ton of new goodies available over at Gina's - to see all the new stuff <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/category.sc;jsessionid=DDD1DE39829E8BB9523D9BE7D0B3FC84.p3plqscsfapp002?categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>pop over here</b></a>.<br />
<br />
My new set is called <a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><b>Lovely Lilies</b></a> and it's a layering set that you can use in a few different ways. Here's what it looks like:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=2950&categoryId=16" border="0" data-original-height="662" data-original-width="505" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluDZXybMOkh6y7SyA40pOcDC7-bvOrHCavlTT_WdVDr_oMo63I-G-bquMtr26TzU3LvRj9n1Kmxfb8scj0gn-a4BOq3Oh8qr8RhZ2urgCO2mBuTfajpzfbJY_n9pHSselU5ghAtQc4LM/s400/Lilies-STORE.png" width="305" /></a></div>
<br />
The main Lily image comes broken down into three solid layers plus a line art outline, plus a separate stamen stamp, and you can use all of these together or you can use only a couple of the layers, or maybe just the lineart outline - that's a good option if you like to colour with copics or pencils, or maybe watercolours.<br />
<br />
Just in case you could use a little help putting these together I have a little graphic for you:<br />

<br />I'm still working on a video, but I can tell you right now that my favourite way to stamp these is to begin with the darker colour first and then stamp the medium tone over that finishing up with the lightest tone, it is way easy to line them up when you do it this way. Thanks for popping in, if you have any questions, just leave me a comment :)<br />

I love the sentiment "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn" and I'm going to stick this card up on my wall and leave it there! lol. Those little cacti are just perfect for this sentiment and I heat embossed them with white embossing powder before 'watercolouring' them. I smooshed some Gina K Inks onto a sheet of clear acetate and loaded up my paintbrush with a little water before picking up the ink colours to fill in my embossed image, this is a great way to get that watercolour look and to have it match your cardstock exactly! It takes the guesswork away and you have a nice watercoloured image!<br />

<insert and="" photos="" ups="" write="" your=""><br />For this next card I stamped the solid images in Sweet Mango Ink (Gina K) and then went in with some colouring pencils to add a little shading.</insert><br />
<br />

Hi everyone! 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. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
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! <br />
<br />
We would like to thank Therm O Web for being such a great partner in the Foil-Mates line of products. <br />

These background designs are so fun and can be used for all different
occasions! You can also customize them with water based inks like the
Gina K. Designs ink cubes. You can also use watercolor paints, alcohol
and water based markers, and more prior to adding your foil. So each
project can be unique!<br /><br />
There are two different types of focal image sets.<br /></div>

The Invitations are great for Birthday Parties, New Years Eve
get-togethers, Retirement Parties, Weddings, Showers and of course, Save
the Dates! What bride wouldn't love a foiled <i>Save the Date</i> card
or Wedding invitation? And you can use the inside FOIL-MATES™ pieces for
all the details or you can create them yourself using a laser printer
and foil them to match when using the Gina K. Designs Fancy Foils™ or
other Deco-foil™ products!<br /><br />
I love the foil colors in this collection!<br /></div>

So now and again I make some pottery stuff, I fire them and glaze them myself - lots still to learn, but it's addictive. I sell some of these at craft fairs and I loaded up a few things to Etsy to see how that goes, but mostly it's just for fun. I was taking some pics this evening and thought maybe you might like to see, this is a 4 inch tall mushroom/toadstool ring tree - I thought it was cute, I love working with clay and don't get to do it nearly enough, but these are fun. I adore how the glaze pools and settles, it's like magic! If you are curious there's a link to my Etsy in the sidebar. :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895943960950095652noreply@blogger.com2
