Gina K Preview Day 1

Hello!!! It has been a while. I had a great Thanksgiving with the family. I took a good long nap this morning to get over all the FUN! ha!


Tonight begins the the Gina K previews. All of the new sets will be available for purchase on Thursday night at 10 p.m. cst on the website! Tonight the design team is peeking Block Greetings (by Tami Mayberry) and Mugs and Kisses (by Melanie Muenchinger).

Here is my card with Mugs and Kisses:

What a fun mug---and it is just one of the ones that come in the set! Mugs are a great focal point for cards for every season and holiday. I chose to do a more "Valentine" inspired project with mine but the set has tons of sentiments and images for just about every occasion you can imagine.

I stamped the mug and colored it with Copic markers and prismacolor pencils.
The designer paper is by Echo Park.


Next, this is the project I created with Block Greetings:
I love this set because you can design elegant cards easily with it but it also is great for tags, wall hangings, etc.
I chose to do a Christmas wall hanging because we have been decorating for the past few days and I thought it would be fun to have a handmade decoration in our breakfast area.

I used onyx cardstock layered with some Wine with Everything cardstock. The frames were stamped with Memento black ink on white cardstock and they layered on the white, black and wine cardstock. I used some foam tape between some layers for dimension and to add accents like the ribbon between the layers.

Here is a detail shot so you can see some of the detail:
