Gina K. Designs September 2018 Release Inspiration Blog Hops! Day 1

Hey Y'all!  Glad you stopped by!

Welcome to our September Release!  I LOVE this time of year, so goes along with me loving this release maybe a tad more  thank other release, lol!  (I admit, I do love them all...one reason I have stayed around for oh almost 10 years!  :D )  We all are so very excited to share our creations with you for this release!  We will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky commenter from each day! total of three winners! Be sure to check the Big News forum on StampTV a few days after the hops to see the winners.   Ok now for what you came here for!!  :D

Up first today Melanie's set, Men Of Faith

 Here is what I have done with this set:



When first seeing this set, I knew I had to put a cross charm in his hands!  I stamped the image with versamark, then heat embossed in clear.  All done on Kraft cardstock form Gina K. of course!  Now this next card, I debated whether to show or not because Billy said it looked like the dude was in prison...haha!  Here it is though:


I little different view trying to show the inside:

Thats chicken wire, not jail bars!  LOL! This was made by stamping with silver ink and heat embossing the words and then cutting them out to add in this manner.  But I personally think, its ok maybe?  :D

Ok, next up is a set by Rina, Mandala Maker
This awesome set can be used with the Wreath Maker, but it can also be stamped free hand in OH SO MANY WAYS!


  Omg ive only barely touched the surface in creating with this set!  For this, I colored in some of the details with white gel pen and a gold marker also.  I cut out a few of the leafy looking images and inserted some red cardstock to give it some pop!  Added a bit more red accents and called it done!  so fun!!

Ok, ready for more eye candy?  Just follow the links below to my fellow DT!!


  That's all from me for today!  Be sure to come on back by tomorrow, same time, same place!  Got lots more of this release to share with you!!
