Gina K. Designs August 2018 Release - Day 2 and final day for hops!

Hey Y'all!

It's day two of this month's release Blog Hop!  I am so very excited to share with you the release of the newest set in the Wreath Builder line!  It's the Holiday Wreath Builder set!  yay!  I love Christmas and all things associated with it, lol!  And before we get to the eye candy, just a reminder to leaves those comments on the blogs as you hop!  We will be choosing 2 winners, one from each day, to win a $50 Gift certificate to Gina K. of course!  Now, I'll hush and show some delightful goodies!  :D

AND as of 9:30 PM CST, the Wreath Builder templates are IN STOCK! These things sell out like hot cakes!
  Wreath Builder Templates

Here is what I have done for today:
I guess you might be able to tell that I love rustic things for Christmas, lol!  I stamped the little pine tree limb looking things for the wreath, then stamped the pinecones and poinsettia's in the corners.  Now, this is a rescued card as I call them.  i dropped a piece of ice onto the spot that is underneath the circle sentiment.  It made the ink blur and run of course, so instead of going in the middle, Im tried covering the spot up with the circle!  LOL!  I think it worked!  In after thought, i should have cut out the inner part, like by hand and that would have been better...i think...ha.

Next up is the new incentive stamp set...yours free with $75 and up purchase!  Leaves!!  Specifically Skeleton Leaves.  This is one I have made with it:


 For this card, which is a Billy Pick, I used the distress oxide inks in a bunch of colors.  I just smeared them on nonstick thingy and then spritz with water.  I would dry then do it again. The leaf is heat embossed in gold. This just screams Fall to me!  fun to do, but I love playing with all kinds of inks, getting my fingers inky that last for days, haha!

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


Ok, thats all from me for today!  Below you will find the cards I showed at the release party using all the new sets!  I also want to thank y'all so much for the sweet compliments on yesterday's blog post!  Makes my day to see and read them!

    I really like your "rescued" Merry Christmas card, Cat. I think you did a fabulous job, and if you hadn't told us, I don't think we would've known you'd drop the ice cube. But thanks for sharing all of this with us, as it helps us newer ones see how we too can salvage one of our creations.
