Celebrate You!

For this Birthday card, I used the waste foil from the sympathy card I previous made.  I love using the waste foil and creating a reverse image that can be used for more cards!

I used the following for this card:

• Gina K Designs - Wild Wisteria, Oriental Fan Stencil, Master Layouts 1, Master Layouts 2
• Gina K Designs - Floral Friendship Stamps and Dies
• Gina K Designs - Sterling Silver Foil, Delicate Dahlias Dies, Poly Glaze Sheets, Delicate Dahlia "waste' foil.

To make the card, I foiled the "waste" foil using the Poly Glaze sheets.  These were then die cut.  The sentiment was stamped and die cut.  The large rectangle from ML 2 was used to cut the wild wisteria panel, which was then stenciled with Wild Wisteria ink using the Oriental Fan Stencil.  This was added to a white mat (cut using the largest rectangle from ML1).  All of the pieces were added to a Wild Wisteria card base to complete the card.

With Sympathy

I don't think anyone likes the reason for making sympathy cards, but they are cards that are needed from time to time.  

For this card I used the following:

• Gina K Designs - Soft Stone, Wild Wisteria, Grass Green Inks
• Gina K Designs - Oriental Fan Stencil, Poly Glaze sheets, Sterling Silver Foil. Master Layouts 2
• Gina K Designs - Delicate Dahlias Poly Glaze and Dies

To make the card, I foiled the Dahlia images and the sentiment.  The waste foil from the sentiment was then used with a plain poly glaze sheet.  The reverse image sentiment and flowers were then die cut.  The stencils were used to color the flowers.  Master Layouts 2 was used to cut a white panel and the mat.  The white panel was stenciled with Soft Stone using the Oriental Fan Stencil keeping the color mainly to the center of the panel.   The stenciled panel was added to the mat, and both were added to the card base.  The Dahlia flowers and sentiment were added to complete the card.

Frangipani Birthday Card

I really like layering stencils, they end up creating such pretty images!  

I used the following to make this card:

• Gina K Designs - Frangipani Stencil, Natures Elements Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1, Master Layouts 3, Birthday Babble Sentiment Sheet
• Gina K Designs - Light Orchid, Medium Orchid, Dark Orchid, Light Spruce, Medium Spruce, Black Onyx Ink

To make the card, I stenciled the flower using the Orchid inks.  The leaves were added using the Natures Elements stencil.  The image was cut using the largest rectangle from Master Layouts 1  and added to the card base.  The sentiment was cut using Master Layouts 3 and added to the card.  Small round vinyl stickers were added to complete the card. 

Rose Postage Stamp Birthday Card

Here is another postage stamp card using The Ton dies and stencils.  I really like the layering stencils they have created for use with their postage stamp die.

I used the following for the card:

• The Ton - Postage Rose Layering Stencils, Postage Party Die
• Gina K Designs - Light Carnation, Medium Carnation, Dark Carnation, Grass Green, Black Onyx Ink
• Gina k Designs - Master Layouts 1,  So Many Sentiments, Disco Ball Sequins

To make the card, I used the Postage Party Die to create the stamp panel.  The stencils were used creating the images for each stamp of the panel.  The sentiment was stamped and the disco ball sequins added.  The stamp panel was matted and added to the card base to complete the card.

Wildflower Stems

After creating a velum version of the Wildflower Stems, I needed to create a version in color!

For this card I used:

• Gina K Designs - Wildflower Stems Embossing Folder and Stencils
• Gink K Designs - Light Orchid, Medium Orchid, Dark Orchid, Fresh Asparagus, Grass Green, Warm Cocoa, Kraft, Lemon Drop, Wild Dandelion, Black Onyx inks
• Gina K Designs - Radiant Roses Stamps and Dies
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1

To make the card, I embossed the image on white card stock and colored using the stencils and inks.  It was then cut using Master Layouts 1 (along with the associated black mat).  The mat and image were added to the card base.  The sentiment was stamped, die cut and added to complete the card.

Happy Halloween

When I was the Scrap Stamp Art Tour show in Westminster Maryland,  I made a card front at the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps booth using Pan Pastels and one of their stamps.  When I got home, I made a mini slim line card using that panel.  This is the card I made:

For this card I used:

• Card front made at the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps booth
• Gina K Designs - Handmade Holidays stamp set, Black Onyx Ink, Master Layouts 7

To make the card, I die cut black and orange mats from Master Layouts 7.  I then manually cut the card front to fit in the black mat.  These were all attached to the card base.  The sentiment was then added to complete the card.
