Gina K Designs Design Team Inspiration Hops for December '13 -- Day 2!!

Hey y'all!! Glad to see ya here! ;)


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!

Today, we have another 2 sets to showcase for you! These sets so rock! :D Up first today is Melanie Munchinger's newest set called, Stamper's Favorites...and they truly are! Here it is:



I did a one layer card...unless you count the bird and flower, lol! I used circle nesties to cut out a mask to use, then placed that on my card and did some creative sponging with distress inks. I wet my fingers and dropped some water onto that area after sponging. I love the effect this gives with the distress inks! For the hummingbird (and he's about accurate in size!)I used distress inks and water colored him and then took versamark ink and inked it all over then poured clear embossing powder over it...I wanted him shiny! He is! :D

Here is the card I showed at the Release Party with the hummingbird too:



For this one, I used mixed medias...gesso, modeling paste, spray inks...everything but the kitchen sink! but I so loved playing with all of our mixed media stuffs we have out there. Its got stenciling and sponging and misting and copics...lol!

And here is the card with Carolyn's set, Elegant Flourishes that I showed at the release party too:



And again on this one, mixed media style one! I used paint, gesso, heat embossing, sponging with distress inks...I do so love how the Flourishes give just the right touch!! So thrilled to have these to add to my GKD stamp sets. Gonna be a well used one I do believe! :D

Ok, ready for more eye candy? Here ya go:


Thanks again for stopping by today! I so look forward to all of your comments...wish I could respond to each and everyone!! Come on back by tomorrow for our third and final day of hops for this release! :D

Faber-Castell and Gina K Designs Blog Hop!! Day 1

Hi Y'all!!


"Welcome to the first ever Gina K Designs/Faber-Castell Blog Hop! We are so excited to team up with the Faber-Castell designers! Both incredibly talented design teams are sure to WOW you with their many beautiful, creative ideas for using Gina K. and Faber-Castell products together.

As you hop through the GKD blogs, make sure to leave a comment, because each day a random comment will be chosen and that stamper will receive a Gina K Designs stamp set of their choice (up to a $24.95 value)!

Pop over to the Faber-Castell Blog (http://designmemorycraft.typepad.com) and leave a comment for a chance to win a Designing With Gelatos Kit too!

We have a full week of amazing inspiration to share with you, so let's get started!"


I have to be honest...before the hop, I had only used Faber-Castell's regular colored pencils. And I always love using those, so I was very excited to participate in this blog hop and get to use more of their goodies! Especially the Gelatos! Oh arent these things wonderful?! Why yes they are! (yes I answer myself too, lol!) Here is my first card I did:


For this card, I embossed the cardstock with an embossing folder. Then I took versamark ink, and did a DTP (direct to paper) technique with it. Doing it light so some card stock would not have any on it. I then poured clear embossing powder all over it and then heat set it. And then the fun began! LOL! I was given the Mix & Match Metallic Gelatos Colors to use and I took each of the 4 colors and used it on the embossed piece. Then I used THE best paint brush there is...My Finger! to push and blend and fill in the nooks and crannies here and there with the Gelatos. And I was also give the Stamper's Big White Pen and I used that to make the white dots on the embossed cardstock. The butterfly was basically done the same way, but embossed with white embossing powder. For the sentiment, I took the purple toned Gelato, and while the piece was still in the die, used my finger to go around the edges to give it the look it has. I totally love Gelatos now! Need them all! LOL!

Here is my next card, and I used the Gelatos and Stampers Big White pen again:


For this card, I wanted to see what the Gelatos looked like on black cardstock, and they are GORGEOUS on it! The big daisy was embossed with white embossing powder again, I then used the Gelatos and did the 'smearing' technique. Then once again used the awesome brush, my finger, the blend it together. I then used a dry cloth to wipe off the flower so the white outline would show, then used the Stamper's Big White Pen to color the daisy. I also used a Silver Mix & Match Metallic PITT Artist Pen to go around the edges of the white cardstock...it gave it just a bit of break up of the white on white for the image and made it stand out a bit more. I had the mini tinsel laying here on my craft table so used it too. I thought it made a very festive birthday card! :D

Ok, one more from me...I did a bit of watercoloring this time:


For this card I used the Mix & Match Art Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils. The colors are in the Neutral set. I actually painted this in a watercolor sketch book I have, and then when I tore it out I thought it looked neat with the side like that...literally ripped from its book! LOL! These pencils are actually THE best watercolor pencils I have tried! And I do love how the feel in my hand too. I did use the Stamper's Big Brush Pen in white on this too, made the small white dots around the flower with it.

Ok, that's all from me today! Now hop on over to the Oh so very talented Becky Oehlers' Blog because I know she will have something fantastic for you today!

And don't forget, these hops are going on all week! Dont miss out too on your chance to win some goodies from Gina K and Faber-Castell!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you were inspired a wee bit! :D

Today we have 2 mini sets to share with you. Up first is Debbie Corbari's newest set called, Fleece Navibaa...Omg! I am loving these cute sheep!! Here is one I did, not a Christmas one though:


I made a Thank 'ewe' card! And I had to add the black sheep of the family too, haha! The white sheep are colored with Picket Fence distress marker onto Gina K's craft cardstock and I love how it turned out! I went back over the outline using a fine copic marker...because I color so bad and got it on that which made it look dull...so fixed it! :D

Up next is the new mini set, Cheers!. I combined the two sets for this card:


The tree is from the Cheers mini set. Then I used all of the sheep from Debbie's set and made the bigger two look like they are jumping over the tree...:D Super Fun card to make!

Then punched out a few snowflakes and arranged them in the bag. I took a craft knife and made a small slit to add the twine like it is underneath the top of the bag. I LOVE this bag of snow! I sure hope we get some this year! :D

    Up next is Rupa Shevde's new set, Christmas Joy. This is my card for today:


    I did some heat embossing with silver embossing powder, and also used the fancy oval die from SB and dry embossed it around the image. Added a piece of vellum that I stamped the sentiment on over the bottom edge of the image...this will be super easy to mail too!

    Mixed Media Altered Canvas, my first!

    Hey y'all! Thought I'd share my little project I worked on the last couple of days. This is the first time Ive used a canvas to play around with mixed medias, and I got to say, its LOTS of fun! Here is my completed project:



    This quote is one of my ALL time favorites so I wanted to use it on this...I also have incorporated 'Live, Love, Laugh' Another favorite quote of mine. I used lots of gesso and spray mists....even made some of my own out of GKD reinkers and sparkly eye shadow! I also used some Ice Resin for the first time...Ilike the end results, but didnt like getting it on my hands or table top, lol! The square hat pin thingy from Spellbinders is what I used that on...I got lots more of these goodies I want to do using SB new bezels! Cant wait to use more! (and thank you Theresa Momber. You rock!

    Here are a few close ups:


    This is a close up of the square hat pin bezel from Spellbinders I used, LOVE it! I painted it with gesso and did some sponging on it with GKD inks too.


    close up of the flowers in the lower right corner. Some are premade, and I made a couple of them.


    I also added lace to the sides, painted over it with gesso too and did some sponging also.

    Like I said, I totally enjoyed putting some mixed media onto this canvas...i thinking of doing a Christmas themed one now! :D

    Be sure and stop back by tomorrow too! It's The Gina K Design Illustrators blog hop and an invite to the Release Party tomorrow night! Got lots of new goodies to show ya! :D

    Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my little hobby with you!
