My first layered vinyl project

A while back I purchased several baseball cap blanks from Cricut.  There was a great sale, and since I wear these when travelling, it was a great purchase.  I then needed to add something, and while searching through Cricut Design Space, I found the perfect image to add to the cap.  It was an opportunity to try my hand at layering vinyl since there where two colors.  I think it came out pretty good for a first try!

Happy Anniversary

I realized at the last moment that I had no Anniversary cards!  I made this one, and it was quick and easy!

I used the following for the card:

  • Gina K Designs - Tranquil Lotus Stencil
  • Gina K Designs - Summer Silhouettes stamp set
  • Gina K Designs - Light and Medium Lilac, Medium Spruce and Black Onyx Ink
To make the card, I stenciled the flower images directly on the card base.  The Sentiment was then stamped to complete the card!  Quick and easy!

Postage Stamp Mothers Day card

I used lots of stamps for this card!  Each postage stamp used a different silhouette stamp from a variety of sets!


I used the following for this card:

  • Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 14
  • Gina K Designs - Black Onyx, Ocean Mist, Lovely Lavender, Applemint Inks
  • Gina K Designs - Masking Magic Strips
  • Gina K Designs - Wild Blossoms, Friendly Silhouettes, Natural Silhouettes Stamp sets
  • Close to My Heart - Framed Stamp of the Month
  • Waffle Flower - Postage Collage, Fall Postage Collage Stamp sets

To make the card, I cut the postage stamps from Master Layouts 14.  I also cut the matching mat piece from a piece of black card stock.  On the postage stamps, I used masking magic strips to mask out the areas between the stamps and the very edges.  The inks were then added to each stamp using blending brushes.  The images were stamped in black for each stamp, and postage amounts were added to all but the sentiment postage stamp.  The postage stamps were added to the mat, and then the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Its a card that could be used for many occassions!

This card could be used for a variety of occasions, since the sentiment on the front doesn't indicate a specific occasion.

I used the following for the card:
  • Gina K Designs - Light, Medium and Dark Orchid Ink, Black Onyx Ink
  • Gina K Designs - Sending Love stamp set
  • Gina K Designs - Filled with Sunshine stamp set
  • MFT - Oval stencil
To make the card, I placed the oval stencil on a white card base and added the Orchid inks from dark to light.  The images were stamped over the oval to complete the card.

A Cricut Mothers Day card

Here is a card I made using a design from Cricut Access.  

The card was easy to make!  The rose and the sentiment were both cut from Cricut Access.  They were then backed with peach foiled cardstock.  The sentiment was added to the rose image and the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Mothers Day card (Gina K Designs)

I've this stamp and stencil combination for a while, and figured it was time to use it!  The stamp barely fit on the card!  It is a huge stamp and the stencil makes it so simple to add color.

I used the following for the card:

  • Gina K Designs - Lovely Flowers stamp and stencil
  • Gina K Designs - Handmade Holidays stamp set and dies
  • Gina K Designs - Black Onyx, Medium and Dark Carnation, Light and Medium Spruce, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green Inks
This was a simple card to make!  The flower image was stamped on a white card base.  Color was added using the associated stencils.  The sentiment was stamped to complete the card.
