Birthday Bouquet (Gina K Designs)

I really liked a card that Gina K did on one of her videos, so much that I made the same card using the same colors!  

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Summer Bouquet Layering Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Ink - Light, Medium and Dark Lilac; Light, Medium and Dark Orchid; Light, Medium and Dark Spruce; Sweet Mango; Tomato Soup; White
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 2
• Clearly Besotted - Tiny Type Stamp set

To make the card, 2 panels were cut to 4.25x5.5.  On the first panel, the light colors were used with the stencil.  On the second panel, the medium and dark colors were used with the stencil.  A section of the dark panel was cut with the small rectangle die from Master Layouts 2.  This was mounted on the associated black mat (also cut from ML 2).  This piece was then added to the light color panel using foam squares making sure to align the pattern.  A sentiment was stamped in white on black card stock and added to complete the card.  

 

Teddy Bear Birthday Card

Here is a card I made for a one year old boy!  For this card I made use of my Cricut and the designs available in Cricut Design Space.  I used the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Embossing folder for the background.

Love and Sunflowers

Its amazing the difference a black border and slightly darker color flower center makes between these cards!  One is subtle and the other is bold.  I like both!

To make the cards I used the following:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1 and 4
• Gina K Designs - Love and Shadow dies
• Gina K Designs - Petite Flourish Embossing Folder
• Gina K Designs - Breath of Sunshine Stamp Set
• Gina K Designs - Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango Inks
• Gina K Designs - Sandy Beach, Kraft Inks (card 1)
• Gina K Designs - Kraft, Warm Cocoa Inks (card 2)

To make the cards, I cut a piece of white card stock with Master Layouts 1, along with a black mat.  A heart was cut in the center with Master Layouts 4 and embossed using the Petite Flourish Embossing folder. For card 2 a smaller heart was cut from black card stock.  On another piece of white card stock the flowers were stamped (I made sure they would fit within the cutout heart!).  For card 1 the embossed panel was added to the stamped panel, and then matted with the black cardstock.  For card 2 the black heart panel was added to the stamped panel followed by the embossed panel, and then matted with the black panel.  The piece was then added to a white card base.  I made yellow card stock by adding Sweet Corn ink to white card stock and then die cut it with the "Love" die The shadow was cut in black.  These were then attached to the card base to complete the card.

Love (simply stated)

This card is based on one that I recently saw on either Facebook or Instagram, I can't remember which and of course I didn't save the information!  Its a very simply stated card!

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Love and Shadow dies
• Gina K Designs - Petite Flourish Embossing Folder

To make the card, I cut a piece of white card stock with Master Layouts 1.  The mat was cut using a red foil paper.  The white panel was then embossed with the Petite Flourish Embossing Folder and added to the red foil mat and then to a white card base.  "Love" was cut from white card stock, while the shadow was cut from red foil.  These were attached to each other and then added to the card base to complete the card.

Love is all you need

This anniversary card reminds me of sunsets in the Caribbean!

I used the following to make the card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 2
• Gina K Designs - Ocean Silhouettes Stamp sets
• Gina K Designs - Love is All You Need Stamp set
• Gina K Designs - Black Onyx, Dusty Rose, Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion, Blue Denim Inks

To make the card, I added the sunset colors to a white card base by using blending brushes.  The images were then stamped in black, and the sentiment added.  The image was cut with Master Layouts 2, along with a black mat.  These were then added to a peach card base to complete the card.

My 15 cards from Kendra's Card Challenge #11

When I saw the information for Kendra's Card Challenge, I thought that it would be a great way to make several cards.  I decided to use some patterned paper I had purchased several years ago from Gina K Designs.  At the time you could get both the patterned paper and coordinating cardstock which made using this paper even better for me, because you see, I purchased everything but had never used it!
