Christmas Bows

I've always liked the Ton Stamps stencils and layering stamps.  I finally bought the Grouped Grand Bows and associated die a few years ago. But buying it and using it are two separate things! Well this year, I finally used the stamp and die!

 I used the following for the card:

• The Ton Stamps - Grouped Grand Bows and associated Die
• Gina K Designs - Lipstick, Red Velvet, Applemint, Christmas Pine, Powder Blue, Blue Denim, Lemon Drop, Prickly Pear Ink
• Gina K Designs - Holiday Greeting Sentiment Sheet
• Gina K Designs - Radiant Red Foil

To make the card, I stamped the images and die cut them.  The sentiment was foiled using the Radiant Red Foil. The images were added to the card base. The sentiment was added between the bows to complete the card.

Modern Poinsettia

For these cards, I used the Modern Poinsettia Stencil.  I found that I was able to cut these so that I was able to make 2 mini-slimline cards from one stenciled image!  

 I used the following for the cards:

• Gina K Designs - Modern Poinsettia Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Red Hot, Cheery Red, Christmas Pine Inks
• Altenew - Ultimate Metallic Gold Ink
• Gina K Designs - Holiday Floral Poly Glaze Sheets and Dies
• Gina K Designs - 14 Carat Gold Foil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1 and 7

To make the cards, I stenciled the image on a 6 x 6 piece of paper.  The image and associated mats were cut from Master Layouts 7 (and a one done from ML 1).  These were added to the card base.  The sentiments were foiled with 14 carat gold foil, and die cut using the associated dies.  The sentiments were then added to the card base to complete the card.

Holiday Floral Poinsettia

The Holiday Floral set contains the usual stamps and dies.  But there is also stencils and poly-glaze sheets.  The stencils to color the images and the poly-glaze so the outlines can be foiled;  For these cards, I used the poly-glaze, stencils and dies.  I love the way the cards came out!

 I used the following for the cards:

• Gina K Designs - Holiday Floral Poly-Glaze, Stencils and Dies
• Gina K Designs - Lipstick, Bubblegum, Grass Green, Medium Spruce and Red Hot Inks
• Gina K Designs - 14 Carat Fancy Foil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1, Small and Large Oval Dies
• Gina K Designs - Poly-Glaze sheets

To make the card, I first foiled the images from the poly-glaze sheets.  The sentiments were also foiled.

(I used the left over foil from the sentiments and the plain poly-glaze sheets to foil as well).  Using the stencils the images were colored.  The sentiments and images were cut with the associated dies.  Master Layouts 1 was used to cut the white panel and mat.  These were then added to the card base.  The small and large ovals were used to cut the white panel and the associated mat.  These were then added to the card base.  The floral image and sentiment were then added to complete the card.

Snowflake Christmas Cards.

I love the way these cards came out!  The brilliance and shininess just doesn't photograph well. These cards are SO pretty in real life. The Poly-glaze sheets from Gina K Designs makes using the left over foil a breeze! 

For these cards I used:

• Creative Vision Stamps - Foilables
• Gina K Designs - Poly-glaze Sheets
• Gina K Designs - Radiant Red and Brilliant Blues Fancy Foils
• Gina K Designs - Holiday Greetings Sentiment Sheets

To make the cards, I foiled the Sentiment Sheets, and the Foilables with the Red and Blue Fancy Foils.  I foiled using the leftover foil and the poly-glaze sheets, leaving no waste.  The foiled snowflake backgrounds were added to card bases. The sentiments were then trimmed and added to the cards.

Dahlia Birthday Card.

For this card, I combined products from Gina K and The Ton.  The Ton has gorgeous layering stencils and stamps. The Dahlia is from the Ton, while the inks and background are Gina K.  Both go together so well!

For this card I used:

• Gina K Designs - Ink - Fresh Asparagus, Grass Green, Light Medium and Dark Carnation
• Gina K Designs - Petite Flourish Foil-Mates
• Gina K Designs - Birthday Bubble Sentiment Sheets
• Therm-O-Web - Deco Foil - Champagne
• The Ton - Climbing Dahlias Layering Stencil and Die

To make the card, the Dahlia was stenciled using the Gina K Inks.  The image was then cut using the associated die.  The background image - Petite Flourish - was foiled using the Champagne foil.  The same foil was used for the sentiment.  The background image was trimmed, matted with black cardstock and added to a card base.  The Dahlia was added using foam tape,  The sentiment strip was then added using more foam tape to complete the card.

A Cricut card for a 2 year old.

I kept this card simple - its for a 2 year old!  I made sure the papers I used were colorful to grab attention.  All images and text are from Cricut Design Space.

 

Lovely Flowers Birthday Card

So I finally used the Lovely Flowers stamps, dies and stencils.  I've been wanting to use this set for a while, and now I want to make more cards with it!  Here is the card I made:

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Grass Green, Fresh Asparagus, Light Spruce, Medium Spruce, Peach Bellini, Tangerine Twist, Soft Stone inks

To make the card, I stamped the flower and sentiment images in Versamark, added the embossing powder and heat set.  Each of these was then cut using the corresponding dies.  The flower image was colored using the associated stencils, blending brushes and ink.  White cardstock was cut using Master Layouts 1, along with a mat.  The white cardstock was lightly stenciled using the Cobblestone stencil and Soft Stone ink. The card was then assembled, the mat added to the card base, followed by the cobblestone stenciled image, the flowers and the sentiment.
