Gina K Designs September Release Inspiration Blog Hop - Day 1!!

Hey y'all! Welcome to our hops for the September Release at Gina K Designs!


The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.

I always love our Christmas Releases...I look forward to them every single year that I have discovered Gina K! And this year is the same...I missed the Release Party this month...thank you bad cable company! And didnt get to show you some of my creations...but I did get them uploaded to our Pinterest Board along with the other designers cards too!

For today though we have two stamp sets to showcase for you! Up first is Tami Mayberry's newest set called Winter Blocks...here is my card with this set:


I did some heat embossing on this...the snowbanks are white embossing powders, as in the main stamped image...the snowflakes stamped on the base are from Theresa Mombers set. I did a bit of distressing on the card too. :D

Up next is Theresa Momber's newest set called Let It Snow ..and here is my card with that set:


That snowman (I have named him Sammy!) is soooo fun to color...doesnt take much! :D And he is just too cute with that broom!

Ok, ready for more awesome eye candy? Here ya go! Just follow these links:


Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to come on back by tomorrow for another day of inspiration for y'all!

    I love your cards. Both depict cold very well (color choices) so the "warm greetings" on the first and red frame on the second are two different ways of adding warmth.
