For more than holidays - Holiday Tapestry (Gina K)

I think that the Holiday Tapestry stamp set is so versatile, and it definitely can be used for more than just holiday cards!  Here is an anniversary card made using it:

To make the card, I used:

• Gina K - Blue Lagoon Paper
• Neenah - Solar White Paper
• Gina K - Holiday Tapestry stamp set
• Wow - White Pearl Embossing Powder
• Gina K - Master Layouts 1 and 3
• Stampendous - Detail White Embossing Powder
• Picket Fence - Words to Say Happy Anniversary stamp set
• Versamark

To make the card,  I stamped the image with Versamark on the Blue Lagoon paper.  White Pearl embossing powder was added and heat set. The image and the white mat were then die cut using Master Layouts 1.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on Blue Lagoon paper, white embossing powder added and heat set.  The sentiment and white mat were die cut using Master Layouts 3.  I then stamped in Versamark, one of the smaller images from the Holiday Tapestry set above and below the sentiment, added the White Pearl embossing powder and heat set it.  The background was added to a Blue Lagoon card base, and the sentiment circle was added in the lower corner using foam squares for a bit of dimension to complete the card.

Ink Splattered Happy Birthday

Here is an ink splattered Birthday card!  One of the stamps in the Gina K Tiny Textures stamp set looks like ink splatters, and I thought it would make a great Birthday card.  

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K - Tiny Textures Stamp set
• Gina K Ink - Red Hot, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Lucky Clover, Turquoise Sea, Blue Raspberry, Wild Wisteria, Jet Black
• Gina K - Master Layouts 1 die set
• Picket Fence Studio - Happy Happy Happy Birthday stamp
• Versamark
• Zing Clear Embossing Powder

To make the card, I cut the layers (white and black) using the Master Layouts.  I then stamped the ink splatters on the white card stock using the Gina K inks.  The sentiment was then stamped with black ink.  Since that looked flat, it was stamped again with Versamark, clear embossing powder was added and heat set. This layer was then added to the black layer, and the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Anniversary Card (Gina K)

The Gina K Stamp and Chat videos are really inspiring me to make cards!  Here is another based on one of the videos.

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K - Wild Blossoms Stamp Set, Fresh Asparagus Ink
• Altenew - Warm Sunshine Ink
• Marvey Le Plume Marker - Brilliant Yellow
• Picket Fence Studios - Words To Say Happy Anniversary

To make the cards, I stamped the vine using Fresh Asparagus.  The flowers stamps were inked with the lighter yellow, the marker was tapped on it in a random pattern, and then stamped.  The sentiment added and the panel was matted with black card stock and added to the card base to complete the card.

Stenciled backgrounds (Gina K Designs)

I've watched even more of the Gina K Stamp & Chat videos, and made more cards inspired by one of the videos.  These have a stenciled background with a silhouette stamp in the foreground.  I really like how they came out!

I used the following for the cards:

• Gina K - Watercolor Flowers Stamp Set
• Gina K Stencil - Water Droplets
• Picket Fence Studios Stencil - Floral Damask
• Gina K Ink - Tangerine Twist, Red Velvet, Wild Lilac, Lucky Clover, Blue Lagoon, Black Onyx
• Altenew Ink - Warm Sunshine 

These were easy cards to make, I applied the ink through the stencils (for the watercolor droplets stencil, I kept it horizontal, but went in a diagonal direction for the Floral Damask stencil).  The flowers were added along with the sentiment.  The panel was matted with black card stock and added to the card base to complete the card.

I used my Taylored Expressions blender brushes again.  They made it so easy!

Golden Anniversary Card

Here is a card I made for a friends 50th Wedding Anniversary.  For this card, I knew I needed to use a lot of gold.  So for this card, foil and gold embossing powder were needed!

I used to following for the card:

• Deco Foil - Champagne Foil, Toner Sheets
• Gina K Designs - Heart Circle Die, Large Single Stitch Circle dies, Wish stamp set
• Picket Fence - Words to Say Happy Anniversary stamp set
• VersaMark
• Stampendous - Detail Gold Embossing Powder

To make the card, I cut the Heart circle from a Toner Sheet.  This was then foiled with the Champagne foil and added to the card base.  The white circle was cut using one of the circle dies.  The bottle and glasses are from Words to Say Happy Anniversary stamp set.  These were stamped with Versmark, Gold Embossing Powder added and heat set.  I then used the curlicues are from the Wish stamp set, and were also stamped in Versamark, Gold Embossing Powder added and heat set.  The circle was then added in the center of the heart circle.  The sentiment was added with Versamark, Gold Embossing Powder added and heat set to complete the card.
