Ahhh foiling. All those who read my blog posts know that I LOVE sparkle and glitter. And Gina’s foil just radiates with magnificent sparkle. Today we have a new Thermoweb and Stamp n’ Foil Release for y’all!

Look at this amazing tape runner. And it’s Gina’s favorite color too ❤️

Here are the new Stamp N’ Foils:

This one is called “Holly Jolly”.

For my first card, I inked up all the poinsettia and holly images with Gina K Amalgam Ink (the best ink EVER I promise you) on Heavy Base Weight White Cardstock. I then used my Copic markers to color in the images.

The colors for the poinsettia are R27 and R89 (same for the little berries). And for the holly leaves I used G07 and G14. The Heavy Base Weight White Cardstock is my favorite for Copic marker coloring. It absorbs the color wonderfully and blends so well. I stuck the colored images on a piece of Dark Chocolate Cardstock. I used a woodsy embossing folder to give detail to the Dark Chocolate background. I gave it an Ivory layer and adhered it to a Sandy Beach Base and used the Scripty Holiday stamp set to create an elegant greeting at the bottom.

For my next card, I used the string of lights stamp to create a super simple card that would great for mass-producing Christmas cards.

I simply stamped the string in Amalgam Ink and used the small bulb stamp to create a colored Christmas light affect on the card. I always wanted colored Christmas lights on our tree when I was little, but my mom didn’t like them at all so we never had them. So now that I’m an adult I can live out my dream through this card 🙌🏽 I stamped a fun greeting at the bottom and rounded the edges of the paper to add some detail. Then I used my most favorite tool, the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, to add sparkle to each of the bulbs. If any of you read one of my recent blog posts, you remember that I couldn’t quite capture the sparkle from the card with my camera. Well lookie here folks….

My camera is a wizard and it was able to capture that insanely gorgeous sparkle. It made me almost a little too happy haha.

I used the “Christmas” word die for this card’s greeting. I die cut it with Red Hot Cardstock three times using Connect Glue to adhere them to each other. This glue is so strong. Connect Glue could hold together my hopes and dreams. It could hold my life together. There is no better glue. (Yes, it is out of stock right now, so please don’t hate me for this promotion haha.)

This one is called “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. The snowflakes are so elegant and look beautiful when foiled.

I made this card using Distress Oxide Inks for the background. I realized quite late in the game that I used a Distress INK pad instead of OXIDE to blend with the two other oxide colors I was using. So if y’all are wondering why it looks a little different (or a little weird)… that’s why. I just foiled the snowflakes in some Sparkling Silver Fancy Foil. I want my walls covered in the sparkly Fancy Foils. I’m serious.

For this next card, I actually accomplished the look I was going for in the first one and replaced the INK with OXIDE. I gotta learn to actually read labels.

Stamptember!!!!! Welcome again everyone to my blog. And welcome to Stamptember, the fabulous month long stamp party hosted by Simon Says Stamp.

Today I am featuring Joy of the Season by Gina K Designs.

Isn’t that set beautiful? And there are even matching dies to go with it! Another lovely set designed by our lovely Queen Gina K ❤️

For my first two cards I used the beautiful tree line stamp to create a watercolored night scene.

This one is more sunset-like.

You may think I went a little overboard with the “snow”, but I was just going for a realistic Wisconsin winter. All those who live in Wisconsin know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. I just love summer in Wisconsin. Last year it was on a Wednesday.

For this card, I basically just inked up a bunch of snowflakes and stamped them on a white piece of Heavy Base Weight White Cardstock. I stole a couple little snowflakes from my Holiday Wreath Builder set to give more variety. You can use the Wreath Builder stamps in more than just one way, and that’s yet another reason why I love the sets so much.

And for my last card, I inked up the same snowflakes in Amalgam Ink and created a snowy scene using two different colored watercolors. I splattered some white paint on it to create a look of falling snow. I then used the greeting “Kindness is like snow. It beautifies everything it touches.” If this statement is true, Wisconsin has gotta be the prettiest place around.

Welcome to day two of the Blog Hop! Today we are celebrating the awesome new Holiday Wreath Builder and the elegant Skeleton Leaves Incentive Stamp Set.

This card gives me serious autumn and winter vibes. I love the color honey mustard so much, I want to use it as one of my wedding colors. All these colors are so warm.

For this card, I stamped all the snowflakes in ink colors from dark to light, making it look somewhat ombré. That was the original intention, but then I accidentally switched the caps on the ink cubes and stamped the smallest snowflake on the outside in powder blue instead of sea glass. I told you guys my brain takes frequent naps. There is SO much sparkle on this card. I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on each of the snowflakes. I was so sad when I took the picture and tried every angle with my camera in hopes it could somehow capture them. But alas, you will just have to imagine it.

These next cards are featuring the Skeleton Leaves Stamp Set. For my first card, I did a design quite similar to the card on my blog yesterday. I heat embossed the leaves with white embossing powder, and used Distress Oxide Ink to create a colorful background. I added a greeting and it was done!

For my last card, I used the ink blending technique to create a multicolored leaf design. I think it makes them look so realistic and lifelike. I did the same ink blending technique for the greeting.

By the way, I got quite a few comments asking about what kind of flowers are in my “Whimsical Wildflowers” stamp set. Well, there are Dogwoods, Peonies, Sunflowers, and a bud for any kind of flower. The bud could be for any floral, but I made it to reflect a Peony bud. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’d love to answer them for you.

I absolutely love flowers. I hope to one day open my own flower shop. Daisies are my favorite flower. What’s your favorite? My boyfriend once bought me a whole DAISY TREE and I was so unbelievably happy. Can you imagine a whole tree full with daisies?? Well you don’t have to imagine because I’m including a picture of it. Look at how beautiful this is!! #mostperfectboyfriendever

He also bought me these sunflowers after I first showed him my flower drawings, way before they were made into a stamp set. ❤️

Fun fact: I wrote this post at 2 o’clock this morning. I just got done studying and watching a couple long lectures so I decided it was time to go to bed. I jumped in my bed all cozy and went to set my alarm when I realized the Blog Hop was at 8 this morning! I hadn’t even written the post yet. I got back up and wrote it as fast as I could. So I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors. I blame them entirely on my lack of sleep, not on my normal lack of grammatical expertise. My college is rewarding work though because I am doing the work I love and am able to interact with people I love. (For those of you who don’t know, I’m going to college for Sign Language Interpreting.)

Thank you for stopping by again! So happy to have the opportunity to create for y’all. I’m going to be drawing lots more things for you, so stay tuned for more!

Love y’all!

Yay!! Another Gina K release! I always do a happy dance whenever there’s a release, but I get even more excited when I get to release a set I designed.

So here it is! My newest stamp set, “Whimsical Wildflowers”.

This set comes complete with a full set of dies so you can cut out all those whimsical florals and leaves.

Next we have “Thankful and Blessed”, a stamp set filled with beautiful hand lettered greetings. I especially LOVE the “You are the Pumpkin to my Spice” greeting. Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING is so popular right now and it is the most adorable way to tell your special someone how perfect you fit with them.

Disclaimer: Full time college just started up for me again and let me tell you; they have been keeping me BUSY! That as well as working full time. It has been such a busy month for me, so I apologize that I don’t have many cards to show. I will definitely be posting many more.

For this first card, I inked up the small sunflower image and leaf in my set with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then blended various colors of Distress Oxide Inks on Gina K Heavy Base Weight White Paper. I love this paper. It is so smooth and absolutely PERFECT for ink blending.

I stamped one of Emily’s beautiful greetings and popped it up with foam squares near the bottom of the card. Then I adhered it all to a white card base. No layers, because I didn’t want to distract from that pretty ink blending. Super simple card all done!

For this next card, I stamped the Peony and a leaf from my set all over in a random pattern on a piece of white cardstock with Blue Denim Ink. I then cut out Gina’s word die “Thankful” in her Gold Cardstock. I used the shadow die from the Stitched Leaves Die set to create a Blue Denim background for the gold word. I think it added a lot. Plus I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to pop up that thin word die onto my paper, so it was a win win in many instances.

I added the “for all you do” at the bottom and inked it in white pigment ink. I stamped it in white pigment ink instead of embossing it in white for absolutely no reason. I guess it was because the heat gun wasn’t plugged in. Which makes no sense because they are quite easy to plug in. My brain just takes a nap for a second sometimes haha. I finished off the card by giving it a gold layer and slapping it onto a Blue Denim base.

Here are a few other cards I made.

Monochromatic Florals

I call this one: “Muddy Garden” haha

I can’t believe the day finally came! Today I am able to share with you all what I have been working on. I am so excited to be a part of Gina K’s Illustration Team!
Big News!! Gina K. is giving away $25 gift certificates to the Gina K. Designs store. You must comment on all the blogs to be entered! Good luck!

For this card, I am featuring my new “Sending A Llama Love” Stamp Set and the Mirror Stamping and Die Cutting Technique.

I learned this technique from Jennifer McGuire. Here is a link to watch the tutorial. I won’t even try to explain it myself; she will do a much better job LOL.
I stamped both of my llamas on Canson Watercolor Paper in Gina’s new Amalgam Ink. This has become my absolute favorite Ink. It is compatible with watercolors, alcohol markers, and colored pencils with gamsol. It is literally one ink that does it all!
I die cut both of the llamas (see Jennifer’s video on how I die cut the mirror image), and then watercolored them with my Prima Marketing Watercolor Pan Sets. I wanted them to look somewhat fluffy, so I dabbed my brush on the paper multiple times in various colors to get the fluffy, textured look.
I stuck both llamas on Kraft cardstock using some foam squares to give the card dimension. I then die cut a small heart from a set of Lawn Fawn dies and adhered it in between the llamas. It makes them look like they’re kissing! 😍 I stamped some of the jewelry and accessories that I drew in my set, and dressed up the cute little llamas.
I took a ruler and drew some lines in a black Micron pen to add more detail to the card. I added a cutesy greeting and the card was done!

For this next card, I used my “Stuck On You” Stamp Set. I stamped my images in Amalgam Ink on Canson watercolor paper, and colored them with Prima Marketing Watercolors. The pink really makes the green pop! 😍
