The Gina K. Design Team has yet another blog hop! This time using Carolyn King’s new set Warm Winter Wishes.

I liked the main layout of my previous cards with the main image in the bottom left corner, so I kept the same basic layout for this card. The cardfront is Pure Luxury Soft Sand cardstock and I stamped the star/snowflake repeatedly image using white ink. I then added a few dots with a white gel pen to create a verical flow to the design.

The word “Joy” was stamped onto PL Chocolate Kiss cardstock using white ink and then surrounded by mini silver rhinestones. I stamped the hot cocoa/coffee mug onto PL Ivory cardstock using Tuxedo Black memento ink and colored it with Copic markers; RV000, RV13, E47, and E51.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Warm Winter Wishes (GKD)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento (GKD), White VersaMagic
• Paper: PL Soft Sand (GKD), PL Chocolate Kiss (GKD), PL Ivory (GKD)
• Accessories: Copic Markers (GKD), Mini Rhinestones (GKD), Dimensionals

GinaK will be giving away a copy of Warm Winter Wishes on her blog tonight – so pop over there to leave your comment on her blog for your chance to win the set for free! (If you’ve already purchased the stamp set, we can swap it out for another GinaK stamp set valued at $19.95 or less.)

There are two last stamp sets to preview – Holiday Hospitality and Warm Winter Wishes. Both are lovely winter themes that coordinate with any all of the other stamp sets released this month.

I used one of the sentiments from the Holiday Hospitality stamp set and the two snowflake images to create this card – some of you may recognize the layout from a previous card that I made for a StampTV Challenge.

The snowflake images were stamped on PL Soft Sand cardstock using white ink and the buttons from this months StampTV Kit were threaded with twine and adhered with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment on PL White cardstock, cut out with a nestabilities die, layered onto a piece of PL Chocolate Kiss cardstock and finally mounted it to the cardfront with dimensionals.

The cute snowman was stamped into PL Soft Sand cardstock and also onto a piece of PL White cardstock. I colored the white cardstock image with Copic markers and then after trimming it out, I mounted it to the cardfront with dimensionals.

I stamped a sentiment image behind the snowman using Tuscan Tan Vivid ink and then wrapped a piece of Ivory ribbon around the cardfront.

We’d love to have you join us at our Release party tomorrow night over on SCS starting at 7pm CST. There will be lots of chatter, samples, contest questions, and challenges – you won’t want to miss it! Check out Theresa’s discussion if you’re new to our Release parties for some helpful information to get you started.

This month we have a new StampTV Kit being released which includes two new stamp sets “Holiday Mix” and “Holiday Greetings”. Beautiful images in both sets and as you can see below they coordinate perfectly!

The card above uses the new Cranberry Tart cardstock available in the Holiday Assortment pack. I stamped the bird image and the sentiment on the 4.25″ x 4.25″ cardfront using VersaMagic white ink. I also added a red button (also from the Holiday Assortment pack) and some silver cord.

I made a coordinating gift box to hold several cards and stamped it with images from the Holiday Mix stamp set – the circular sentiment is included in the Holiday Greetings stamp set as well as the Sweet Corn cardstock and green ribbon.

It’s that time of month again – Release Party! This Thursday (Oct. 1) the Release Party will be in the Gina K. Designs Member Forum on Splitcoaststampers from 7pm-10pm CST.

The Design team will be posting their previews throughout the week so be sure to stop in for a sneak peak at the up coming sets! Today I’m previewing “Special Delivery” & “Special Delivery Add-On” both designed by Tami Mayberry.

Both stamp sets have a postage theme and are absolutely brilliant! The card above uses seven images from her new stamp set – postage frames, images, numbers, words, as well as two cancellation images.

The add-on set has a larger image that is made up of six postage frames. I used the solid rectangle from the set to make the colored background and the other images inside are from the main set.
