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!

Tonight I have one more stamp set to preview before the Release Party – “Versatile Verses by Gina K.” This stamp set has a fun oval frame and several sentiments to place inside of it as I did below.

The frame  from the set was inked in black ink and stamped off onto scrap paper before stamping it on the Pure Luxury White cardstock to get a gray color. The sentiment was stamped inside of the frame using black ink and then I cut out the frame using an oval nestabilities die – it matched perfectly!

The oval was layered onto a piece of PL Smokey Slate cardstock with rounded corners, before I added four small silver rhinestones. I used one of the images from the In Stitches stamp set to create the background on the PL Turquoise Sea cardbase. I wrapped a white piece of ribbon around the cardbase and mounted the main image with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Versatile Verses (GKD), In Stitches (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), White
• Paper: PL Turquoise Sea (GKD), PL Smokey Slate (GKD), PL White (GKD)
• Accessories: White Ribbon (GKD), Silver Rhinestones (GKD), Oval Nestabilities (GKD), Corner Rounder, Dimenisonals

Tonight I get to preview two beautiful new stamp sets: “Hugs and Prayers” by Nina Brackett, and “Seeds of Kindness” by Gina K. Both of these sets are filled with floral images (Nina’s has humming birds and butterflies too) as well as several sentiments.

For the card above, I stamped the bold Poppy image in VersaMark onto the Pure Luxury Cranberry Crisp cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. The cardbase is PL Soft Sand with a scallop edge created with the Tulip Boderabilities and a length of belle fiber compliments the waves of the scallops and flower petals.

The sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, layered onto vellum, secured with two silver brads and then mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This next project, I tried to create an asian/modern style with the colors and sentiment arrangement. The main flower image was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic Markers. BG93, BG96, BV23, BV29, and V12 for the leaves. RV02, RV04, RV06, Y06, and Y08 for the flowers. Y21, Y28, C-1, C-3, and C-5 for the pot and shadow.

The two parallel lines were created with the solid line image from the new In Stitches stamp set and the sentiment was stamped on the top line. I layered the main image over a piece of PL Sm0key Slate cardstock and then mounted the image to my PL Soft Sand cardfront.

This card uses the new Lovely Labels stamp set from Gina K. Designs.

The main labels image was stamped onto Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock using VersaMark ink and then embossed with Chocolate Scented embossing powder. The label was then cut out and embossed with a Nestabilities label die.

The cardbase is PL Moonlit Fog and I added a piece of PL Soft Sand to the bottom with stiching. A piece of brown ribbon adds some distinction to the two colors.

The label was decorated with silver mini rhinestones and colored with Copic Markers – C-1, C-3, and 0. The sentiment was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink onto PL Ivory cardstock, trimmed and mounted to the label with dimensionals. I added a blue prima flower, and a pewter pearl, then mounted the label to the cardfront with dimensionals.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Lovely Labels (GKD)
• Ink: Rich Cocoa Memento (GKD), VersaMark (GKD)
• Paper: PL Moonlit Fog (GKD), PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Blue Prima Flower (GKD) Brown Ribbon (GKD), Silver Rhinestones (GKD), Labels 1 Nestabilities Die (GKD), Chocolate Scented Embossing Powder, Pewter Pearl, Dimensionals, Sew Mini & Thread
