All of us designers here with Gina K. Designs are thrilled to be invited back to do a fun little blog hop introducing the exclusive stamp set by Gina K. called Joy of the Season.
AND dont forget the dies that match!
How fun do these Look!?! I can confirm, THEY ARE! :D Now, I do want to get in right here that we will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp to a lucky soul who comments! More blogs you comment on, more chances to win! Ok, now let me show you what I have created with this set for today:
For this card I used the tree line images to make my little snow scene. I love the sentiment on this, because being from East Texas, we dont get a whole lot of snow (ice, yes!) so when we do, its just gorgeous to me! Ok, ok, I hear the northern folks laughing at me, saying come on up here and see how long you think its gorgeous, hahaha! Im telling you, I WANT to, buy B (the hubby) dont! To I first stamped the trees and heat embossed in black, then I created the background with distress oxide inks and water and white paint flicked on for the 'snow' I used dies to cut the snow banks and the little glittered deer was in a package of them at Hobby Lobby, with the little miniature tree stuff. I popped it up to give it some dimension to it. Then tied the gold cording and was done!
And one more for today:
For this card, used some wrapping paper from last year that I had left over. I then stamped and heat embossed the ornament images directly onto the paper, then used distress ink around the ornaments to 'age' the paper some. I also heat embossed the reindeer image in gold and used some pop dots to pop it up some. The gold star/twine is wrapped around a couple of times to act as a bow. I little trick I do with this stuff, since it likes to tear holes in papers...I used packing tape to attach to the back. I place it how i want on the front, like this one, kinda overlapping, and then the wire is bent over the edge, then I add the packing tape and it hold it very good!
Ok, that's all from me, hope you have been inspired just a bit by me! If not, I bet you will be with my fellow Design Team! Here are the links below:

Love your Christmas Cards - really inspired by your wrapping paper card - so rustic !!!
Awesome Christmas cards, Great stamp set! Since I'm originally from Texas too I am enjoying a little more snow here in Oregon.
Great cards. I really like the trees on the night sky background. Thanks for sharing.
Love the cards! I am not as fond as snow as when I was younger. I hate ice, though, so I will take the snow. Love the sky color you created above your tree line.
Love the cards,Cat, the night sky is gorgeous. The trees are fabulous.
These are wonderful!! hugsss
Loving all the different ideas for this set. The cards are gorgeous!
Lovely cards, love that tree stamp!
Both of these cards are so pretty! Love your purpley sky!
Wow..that is gorgeous... And I love the different colors you chose for the sky on the one card..
Love that you used wrapping paper - my daughter and I just used wrapping paper yesterday as the backing in a frame because we couldn't find just the right cardstock look that we wanted. Looking at things in different ways is truly creative.
Such pretty cards! Love how you used the wrapping paper for a background. This is a great stamp set.
Yay another snow scene! Yes we northern girls have to stick together. Also I must try that wrapping paper technique, very pretty!
Your cards are beautiful! I love this stamp set, and I really love winter/snow...and I am from the north :)

The background on your first card is stunning Cat!

Beautiful cards. I wish I could get the sky colored like your first card but always fail. I love the hint of using the wired stars. I have some of it left over and will surely try.

Just beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful cards from this beautiful stamp set. Think this set definitely needs to come live with me.
Very pretty....and I too only get snow once in a blue moon...and I do enjoy it then....even when we lose power and have to fire up the wood stove....thank goodness we have that....we use a camp stove to cook....and I put the tea kettle on the wood stove top to heat for coffee or tea.....I am just a Camper at heart...LOL....I just prefer not to live in an area where it is cold all of the time in the winter...too much arthritis..
Ok...more info than you needed....thank you for submitting this nice card....hugs
Beautiful cards.
I was so going to be good - but this set is calling to me. Lovely projects.
Stunning cards! Such fabulous layers and dimension. Fantastic designs!
gorgeous cards! Love your colors!
A cool idea using the wrapping paper. Great cards.
Lovely cards! The winter sky behind the trees is so pretty (even though I'm a warm weather girl). Love how you stamped the ornaments on to the wrapping paper of the second card! Cool idea!
love the background colors!
Beautiful cards. This team of designers are amazing.
I LOVE all the new products. I can see foil and snowflakes are in my future cardmaking. Thank you for your talents.
Wonderful cards-the red striped one reminds me of a candy cane!
