Up first is a card featuring the Perfect Blend stamp set. Stamped with Obsidian Amalgam Ink and lightly colored with Copics.


This card features the Watercolor Flowers stamp set. This set has coordinating dies which may be purchased separately. For the background I used the Sassy Stripes stencil.


For my third card I stamped images from the set Main Squeeze and added splatters for a finishing touch. This set has coordinating dies which may be purchased separately.


For my last card I created a galaxy and heat embossed the constellations and a sentiment from the set Moon and Back. I added bleach splatters for interest. This set also has coordinating dies which may be purchased separately.

I did some ink blending to the background on this one with Wild Wisteria, Wild Lilac and Passionate Pink GKD inks. Flowers were stamped in Wild Wisteria GKD Ink.


Hannah's set You Warm My Heart is a beautiful scene Builder set. I did some ink blending on this to make it appear as if the sun was just about to set. I added birds from the Tropical Tidings set and a stag from the Framescapes Winter Trees set.

Gina K. Designs September 2019 Blog Hop - Day 2

12 September 2019


Hello and welcome back to day 2 of the Gina K. Designs September blog hop! Today we will be focusing on Autumn Splendor, the new card kit for this month. I would have to say this kit is my favorite so far this year. If you haven't ordered this one yet, you may want to think about it. It would be a great addition to your fall stamp collection. It contains two large stamp sets, coordinating dies, an amazing stencil and loads of paper!


To celebrate this release a $50 gift card will be awarded to one randomly selected commenter, so make sure you comment on all the blogs to be entered. If you didn't hop with us on Day 1 there is still time and another $50 gift card. The winners for both days will be announced on Gina's blog several days after the hop.

Ok, now that all the important stuff is out of the way let me show you what I created with the first set in the kit called Colossal Cone Flowers.



This set is amazing and so easy to color. I stenciled the background on this card with the Mandala Burst Stencil included with the kit in various GKD inks and the flower and leaves were colored with Chameleon Markers.

I created the next card with the second set in the kit called Leafy Prints.


This one reminds me of a tropical summer card. I love using different color combos no matter what season it is. I would probably use these colors for a Christmas card as well!

The last card I have to share today is one that I created featuring this month's mini incentive stamp set free with a $75 purchase called Santana Rose.


Here is the card I created featuring this set.


I colored this one with Polychromo colored pencils and Gamsol and added several jewels for a finishing touch.


The entire September release is available now at

Well, that concludes the blog hop. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to have inspired you to create! Your next stop on the hop is

Gina K. Designs September 2019 Blog Hop - Day 1

11 September 2019


Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Gina K. Designs September new release blog hop! You should have arrived here from Lisa Hetrick's blog. If you are lost and would like to start from the beginning click here to go to Gina K. Designs.

Today we are focusing on two new sets, Majestic Peony and Happy Fall. So let's get started!

Majestic Peony Illustrated by Hannah Drapinski

Hannah has done it again with this beautiful floral set. Don't you just love that huge peony image! Perfect set for those people that love to color or if you prefer, it's just as gorgeous uncolored.

Here are the cards I created featuring this set.


I stamped only a portion of the image on water colored paper and colored the inside of the petals and leaves with Distress Markers.


 This card was shown during the release party. The background was created with the Mandala Burst stencil that is in this month's card kit. Again I stamped only a portion of the image and then left It uncolored. Several jewels were added to finish off my card.


The next set we are focusing on today was illustrated by Emily Loggans and is called Happy Fall. It features sentiments in her own hand lettering style, just the fancy lettered ones that is! This one has a coodinating die that may be purchased separately.



Here are a couple of cards featuring this set.


I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped it using the Diagonal Stripes background rubber stamp with Coral Reef GKD ink and then turned the stamp once and stamped it again with Soft Stone GKD ink to form a plaid background. I arranged the die cut leaves above it and added a sentiment.


This card was shown at the release party. For this one I randomly stamped all three leaf images in different ink colors to create a patterned paper background look and then just stamped a sentiment on white card stock and adhered it to the front.

These products and more are available now at
