Gina K. Designs June 2019 Release Inspiration Blog Hop, day two!

Hey Y'all!

Gina is giving away two $50 gift certificates, one for each day!

Up first today we have a new set by Hannah Schroepfer  called Whimsical Wildflower Frame

  Here is what I created for today to show you:
This set is fun to color!  And even if you dont like coloring, its a gorgeous set and to me looks so festive as a birthday card!  (and I dont know what is going on with this card looking blurry!  Ive tried retaking and uploading...ug! I apologize!)  I watercolored this card and little thing I do, since we have the M.I.S.T.I.  now.  I leave it in place and after watercoloring i restamp it.  makes the black pop more, if you are want the lines to show.  I know the thing now is no line watercoloring, which is awesome too!  :D  I also add some sparkle with the rhinestones and then used 2 of the Fancy Border Dies...oh im loving those too!  can ya tell (ex.  yesterday's post with the card kit, lol)
Ok, next up, the awesome Ocean Minded Card Kit!
if you only buy ONE thing, I'd get this!  This kit will keep you busy and creative for long time!  Here is what I have to show you that Ive done using the kit:
I had already showed my two ocean 'scene' cards I made over on our group at facebook, so thought I'd show these today (below I will post those too!)  You are My Sunshine!  A song I sang many of time to my daughter, until I heard all the words to it and its SAD!  LOL!  But still like the saying!  I watercolored the blue sky, and to make some quick easy clouds I took a paper towel and dabbed it around to make them.  I also used the sunshine stencil on the card base, see it peeking?  LOL!  I layered the sun shine die in yellow and black to make it pop a bit more.  And then layed the stencil to barely add some 'sun rays'.  all done!    and then this card:

No ocean or sunshine...just the hearts stamped and heat embossed on vellum and then I colored the back with a sparkly marker by Spectrum Noir.  I actually like how it kinda crinkled the vellum!  :D  super easy card and Billy loved it.  This was his favorite, probably because I made it for him, ha!

Ok, ready for more awesome eye candy?

Gina K. Designs June 2019 Release Inspiration Blog Hop, day one!





Hey Y'all!!  Good to see ya!

Ok, up first today we have a new set by Alicia Kruspkaya called, Timeless Beauty
Here is what I have to show you today:
I made what I call a peek a boo card with a matching envelope.   I cut an opening with the new Cut Align and if lifted you see this:

I kept that gorgeous lady simple, did some paper piecing and then just didnt color.  I believe it looks great like this!  (plus I can color people worth a flip, lol!)  Here is a card I showed over on our FaceBook group last night too:
I combined the heart from the new kit, (Ocean Minded Card Kit which we will showcase tomorrow!) and used the lipstick tube to make it look like the heart and i love you were wrote with the lipstick!  I added Crystalline  to give it dimension and make it look wet and shiny!  :D  Love how this turned out!  I also used some Glitter Glitz Gel with the Thick brush stencil on Vellum to give it some sparkle too, along with some of the Glitter Glitz Gel on the edges here and there.  Fun Stuff!

Next up is a new set by Emilly Loggans called Have Faith
And I love every single sentiment so I used them all to make this little box of notecards:
I also made matching envelopes!  I bought this little notecard set at Michaels, I think they are 3 bucks.  But I love taking them and sprucing them up!  I used the new stencils and dies too on all of these!  Its a set of 7, after removing the one up there for the previous card.  Arent they cute!?  Nothing fancy, just a little pick me up to like a fellow worker that might be having a rought day, slip it onto their desk or car windshield!

And I made another to show you today:
I tell myself this little verse ALLllll the time, lol!  But I heat embossed this onto some gorgeous paper I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby, but it could easily be recreated and think I will one day, lol!
