Hello! Today several designers from the Gina K. team are joining up with the Cardmaker Blog Design team to showcase the newest StampTV Kit from Gina K. Designs, Home for the Holidays! I am excited to participate and eager to see what everyone has done with the fabulous goodies in this kit!
I made two cards today, both using the kit's "Music Background" stamp and the "Holiday Greenery" set with it s gorgeous trees, elemental winter foliage and greetings! I stamped my Holiday Frame stamp on each Kraft card base first in Gina K. Fresh Asparagus ink to create the two sketches, and then added the other stamped elements. Music was reverse masked into the frame with GKD Kraft ink. All other details are stamped in GKD Black Onyx, Faded Brick, and Charcoal Brown.
White gel pen accents for the snow, wreath highlights and drop shadow on the fun hand-lettered sentiments make everything pop!
Love this one especially! (I *might* be persuaded to do a video next week...) ;)
Next stop on the hop is Daniela Dobson! (Full link list is on the Cardmaker Blog)
Thanks for visiting today!
Fun addition, breaking news! After you finish the hop, Gina K is releasing a brand spanking new Incentive stamp...free with $75 purchase! It's called Handmade Goodness...is a picture of the set:
Leave a comment on my blog here and I will choose a random winner who will receive a $25 gift certificate to our online store! I'll announce the winner back here on my blog on Friday morning! Stay tuned!
Time to shop! Glad I hadn't finished out my order and left my stuff I need to stock up on(cardstock, foil etc) so I can get this set! Fun!

ReplyDeleteHi Melanie, I miss the blog, but I still wanted to see what you guys had done with the new kit. I do want to encourage you to please do a video of the second card I want to see how you made your snow it looks really really good. I was looking at a car that I had done last year and I had made snow on it Too and I cannot remember how I did it this is so irritating so maybe you can help. Thanks Janie

Very nice cards. Love the coloring on kraft and the nice designs!
ReplyDeletePlease do a video. I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI love the second Christmas card with the trees. . .maybe that's because we lack pine trees here, and that is why I have a pine smelling candle in winter :-)
ReplyDeleteYou ALWAYS make awesome cards!
