The entire GinaK Designs team would like to invite you to the virtual Release party we’ll be having tonight (Thursday, August 5th) on StampTV.  It will be a bit different than our usual release party, but we’ll still have challenges, contest questions, and designer samples that you won’t want to miss out on!  See you there for all the fun!

This card was made using Jessica’s [sketch challenge] from the release party.

I stamped the butterfly image from the Hugs and Prayers stamp set by Gina K. Designs, onto Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I placed a small scrap of PL Smokey Slate cardstock behind the image and added a staple.

The cardbase is PL Green Apple with a  piece of PL Turquoise Sea adhered to the right side. I used the In Stitches stamp set to create the striped pattern. The main image was mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals and the sentiment (stamped on PL Soft Sand) was adhered to it.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hugs and Prayers (GKD), In Stitches (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), White
• Paper: PL Green Apple (GKD), PL Turquoise Sea (GKD), PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Smokey Slate (GKD), PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Staple, Distressing Tool, Dimensionals

It is time for another Gina K. Designs release! I have two samples to preview today using the stamp sets Hang in There and Hope is Faith.

This card uses the Hang in There stamp set by Theresa Momber. The adorable koala bear image was stamped with black ink onto Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The koala was colored with E51, W-3, W-5, and 0. The branch was colored with E29, E71, and E77. The Background was colored with G21, YG63, YG67, and YG91.

The word “thanks” was stamped with black ink onto PL Ivory cardstock, trimmed and mounted with dimensionals. For the finishing touch, I added a piece of brown ribbon.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hang in There (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic markers (GKD), Brown Ribbon (GKD), Dimensionals

These two images are from the Hope is Faith stamp set that was created to raise money for Haiti (see below and Gina’s blog for more info). I crated the colored background using watercolor crayons and a paint brush on PL White cardstock. The butterfly image was stamped over the background with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a paper pierced trail was made under it.

The PL White cardstock was mounted to a piece of PL Black Onyx cardstock and I trimmed the bottom with a scallop scissors. The cardfront is PL Moonlit Fog and the sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using black ink and mounted with dimensionals to the cardfront. A blue button (new in this release) was added next to the sentiment.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Hope is Faith (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD)
• Paper: PL Moonlit Fog (GKD), Black Onyx (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: White Ribbon (GKD), Blue Button (GKD), Watercolor Crayons, Paper Piercer, Scallop Scissors, Dimensionals

I received my stamps from the Gina K. Designs January release in the mail the other day and decided to play around with them. Below is what I came up with using the Purrr-fectly Delightful stamp set by Theresa Momber.

I used the same layout for these two cards, but swapped the colors – the card on the left uses Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss cardstock and patterned paper from one of the Gina K. Designs digi kits. The other card uses PL In the Navy and PL Mother of Pearl metallic cardstock.

The flower image was stamped with white ink onto the dark cardstock and then a scallop border was cut on the right side of the cardfront to reveal a coordinating color beneath. The butterfly image was stamped above the flowers using white ink and a few dots of Stickles were added for some shimmer.

The sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo Black – the butterfly was then stamped next to the sentiment with a coordinating color. The sentiment was then mounted to the cardfront using dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Purrr-fectly Delightful (GKD)
• Ink: Rich Cocoa Memento (GKD), Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), VersaMagic White
• Paper: PL Chocolate Kiss (GKD), PL In the Navy (GKD), PL Mother of Pearl (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: Frosted Lace Stickles (GKD), Digi Paper (GKD), Scallop Scissors, Diminsionals
