Gina K Inspiration Hop Day 3

Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop.  We hope to inspire you with many ways to use the new stamp sets that were released last Thursday.  Today, we are showcasing Beyond Baskets 2 and Christmas Joy.


As you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random commenters who will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.
 
Here are my cards for today:
For my first card, I embossed the deer on some patterned paper and embellished with a jingle bell and some twine.  I added the stamped sentiment in a banner on the bottom.  The back panel is dry embossed with a snowflake folder and I sponged the edges with brown ink.

Next, I embossed the Mother and Child image in white on blue cardstock.  I added some pearl accents and some sheer ribbon but I think this image is powerful enough to just stand alone. Love it!

 
 
First up is the card I used for the release day invitation---It combines the package from Beyond Baskets 2 with the sentiments from Lots of Lines and Let it Snow:


Next, a simple thank you.  Again, I used a sentiment from Lots of Lines.   I think these would be easy Holiday or birthday thank you notes and you can make them easily by simply stamping the gift in black ink and using a colorful ink for the sentiment.

That is it for me today! Visit these blogs for more ideas using these sets:

Gina K Inspiration Hop Day 2

Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop.  We hope to inspire you with many ways to use the new stamp sets that were released on Thursday.  Today, we are showcasing Poster Board Christmas and Lots of Lines!

Here are my cards for today:
My first two cards use Poster Board Christmas---


I love the little sleigh and wanted to capture the magic of Christmas night on my first card.  I stamped the sentiment using Red Hot ink on a punched circle for the moon.  I embossed the sleigh in white below it.  I finished off the scene with a die cut of city buildings, a few rhinestone stars and a tiny dot of red stickles for Rudolph's nose :)

Next, I wanted to use this set for something other than Christmas---so I used one of the frames and created a monogram card:

Next is a card using Lots of Lines:

This is clean and simple.  I stamped the heart using Red Hot ink on white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment over it using black ink.  Easy.  LOVE the sentiments in this set!!

Next, I have two non-holiday cards using these two sets together---

I stamped the frame in black ink on ivory cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Red Hot ink.  I punched a heart and added it above the sentiment using foam tape.  I used my Scor-Pal to score a few lines along the bottom and then added a strip of red cardstock (using the lines for perfect placement).

Here is another one:

I stamped the frame using Fresh Asparagus ink and then stamped the sentiment using black ink.  I colored the chipboard bird with a red Copic marker.

    Winter Blocks:

    I embossed the snowflake block and then trimmed the outer edge of the box off to make the line thinner.  Then, I embossed the sentiment in white on red.    This set is great for mass producing Christmas cards or tags!

    Let It Snow:


    I had to try stamping all the fabulous snowflakes in this set using all the fun Gina K inks:  Turquoise Sea, Grass Green, Sweet Corn, Red HotBlack.  Love using these non traditional colors on my holiday cards.

    SRM Birthday

    Happy Monday (groan!)
    Hope your weekend was great!  We had plenty of games to keep us busy.
    But, I did get a little time to make a few cards (finally!).

    It is no secret that I love SRM stickers!  They are easy to use and they look fantastic.
    Here is a birthday greeting using a large fancy birthday greeting with a few rub-ons (BoBunny) and some pearl accents:

    Fast and easy!

    Thankful

    Hello!!!  Life has been cruising on by---We spent labor day in Canada visiting Niagra Falls and life since then has flown by.  School and sports have taken over!

    Today I have another card to share with you using the newest Gina K Designs Stamp TV kit called Grateful Heart:
    I am especially in love with the patterned leaf stamps in this kit:)
