Gina K. Designs August 2020 Release Blog Hop - Day 2

18 August 2020

Hello friends and welcome to Day 2 as we continue to bring you more inspiration and another chance to win a $50 GC to Gina K. Design. Just make sure you comment on all the blogs along the way to be entered. Winners from all three days will be randomly chosen and posted in the Gina K. blog several days after the hop. Good luck!

Today we are showcasing three more new sets so lets get to it! First up is Beth Silaika's new set called Welcome Home which has coordinating dies that may be purchased separately.

I paired both of my cards with the Perfect Pallet stamp set. I first stamped the birdhouse images with Black Onyx GKD ink, then I colored them with Copic Markers and lastly I masked the roofs with washi tape and stamped a wood pallet image from Perfect Pallets.

Next up we have Love Conquers, a scripty sentiment stamp set illustrated by Emily Loggans.

Quick and simple card using Black Onyx, Passionate Pink and Velvet Red GKD inks.

I masked a portion of the Heartfelt Art Stencil, applied Poppin' Pink Neon ink and added a sentiment to the open space. Lastly I stamped a heart from the set with Raging Red Neon ink and adhered a heart embellishment.

The last set today is by Arjita Singh, the newest illustrated at Gina K. Designs. Delightful Blooms is her first set and its a beauty! (This set is temporarily out of stock. Add it to your wish list to be notified when it will be available)

For this card I masked a rectangular area and ink blended the following GKD inks: Wild Dandelion, Tangerine Twist and Passionate Pink. I stamped one of the large images directly onto my panel with Black Onyx GKD ink. I heat embossed a sentiment and adhered it to the card front.

For my last card I used the Water Droplets Art Stencil and again did some ink blending with the following GKD inks: Wild Dandelion, Tangerine Twist and Passionate Pink. I use this color combo quite often! I stamped the second large floral image directly onto the stenciled area leaving part of the image with no color.

Gina K. Designs August 2020 Release Blog Hop

17 August 2020

Welcome to a new Gina K. Designs release! For the next three days the team will be sharing exciting new products so make sure you leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win one of three $50 GC's to the store. One GC will be awarded for each day of the hop. Winners will be chosen randomly and posted on the Gina K. blog several days after the hop.

First up I have a couple of cards created from a fabulous new set illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger called Beautiful Butterflies. This set has coordinating dies that may be purchased separated

The panel is die cut with the stitched rectangle die that is included in the new Master Layouts 2 Die Set.

Black Onyx, Passionate Pink, Tranquil Teal and Sea Glass GKD inks were used on my card. A coordinating die was used to cut the butterfly out.

The panel is die cut with the stitched rectangle die that is included in the new Master Layouts 2 Die Set.

I ink blended the butterflies with Tranquil Teal and In The Navy GKD inks directly onto one of the butterfly images with a finger dauber and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

The second set that we are showcasing today is called Wildflowers and Weeds illustrated by Lisa Hetrick. This set also has coordinating dies that may be purchased separately.

For my first card I created an Autumn scene. I sponged a variety of GKD inks to the bicycle wheel with a finger dauber to give it an antique kinda look using colors you would associate with the fall season.

For the second card I used the "smooshing" technique with Wild Dandelion, Powder Blue and Wild Lilac GKD inks. Other inks used were Black Onyx and Sweet Corn.

The last set today is illustrated by Hannah Drapinski called Positive Thoughts.

Here are my cards featuring this set.

I kept this card very simple and just added some color to the cheeks and some eyeliner.

For my last card I used an image from the Tiny Textures mini stamp set to stamp the background with Wild Dandelion, Bubblegum Pink, Jelly Bean Green and Sea Glass GKD inks. The large image and sentiment were stamped with Black Onxy ink.

Gina K. Designs June 2020 Release Blog Hop - Day 3

17 June 2020

Good morning all! We are on the last day of the hop and today's focus will be on the June 2020 card kit Nature's Touch. It is temporary out of stock but more is on it's way!

I have to say that this kit is one of my favorites! It is amazing and you will have hours of stamping endless card creations. It features three stamp sets, a set of dies for one of the sets, a stencil and 8 sheets of card stock.

Let me show you the cards I created featuring this kit.

I did some ink blending on this one with Wild Dandelion, Orange Twist and Bubblegum Pink GKD inks. The birds were fussy cut and several Rainbow Hearts were added.

Even though there are coordinating dies for this set I still fussy cut the flower down to the black stamped line image and adhered it to the flower stem that was stamped on Sea Glass card stock. Flower was colored with Copic Markers. The Ornamental stencil included in the kit was ink blended with Black Onyx GKD ink. To finish off my card I added several Angel Aura Rhinestones.

Gina K. Designs June 2020 Release Blog Hop - Day 2

16 June 2020

Hello and welcome back to Day 2 of the Gina K. Designs June 2020 release blog hop! You should have arrived here from Mindy Eggen's blog. We have so much in store for you today so let's get started!

We are starting off today showcasing two new sets illustrated by Emily Loggans called Baby Boy and Baby Girl. What I like about these two sets is that some of the sentiments in both sets are suitable for either a boy or girl.

Here are a couple cards I created with these sets.

I did some ink blending and I fussy cut the images for this card.

I ink blended the background using the GKD Art Deco stencil with Passionate Pink and Wild Lilac GKD inks. Rainbow Heart embellishments were added for a finishing touch.

Next up is Graceful Greenery illustrated by Hannah Drapinski. This one features a beautiful large floral frame image that may be colored, heat embossed or just left alone.

I did a bit of masking and just stamped the top portion of the floral frame, colored it with Zig Real Brush Markers and added several Rainbow Heart embellishments.

Lastly, Lisa Hetrick has an amazing set called Free To Flourish which includes a few florals, greenery and a large frame. So many possibilities with this one. Coordinating dies for this set may be purchased separately.

For my last card I cut strips of Sea Glass and Bubblegum Pink Card stock. I alternated the strips onto the top portion of my card panel, stamped a sentiment and added a colored die cut flower above and below the sentiment. Several Dazzling Diamond Rhinestones and a couple of black hearts were added for some sparkle.

The new release is available now at:

Gina K. Designs June 2020 Release Blog Hop - Day 1

15 June 2020

Hello everyone and welcome! I hope you all are staying healthy and practicing social distancing. It's been since February that Gina K. Designs had a release and the first week of March since we had our last blog hop. I know you all have been anticipating some new products after such a long break and we have plenty of new products and inspiration coming your way the next three days, so grab yourself a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the projects Gina K. and the design team have created.

To celebrate this new release a $50 GC will be awarded each day of the hop (a total of 3) for comments left on all the blogs. The more you comment the better chance of winning! The winners will chosen randomly and announced at Gina K. Designs several days after the hop.

Today we will be showcasing new sets by Melanie Muenchinger and Beth Silaika. First up we have Melanie's newest release called Macramade With Love. This set has coordinating dies that may be purchased separately.

Quick and simple card stamped with Navy Blue, Tranquil Teal and Passionate Pink GKD inks. I am a big fan of white card stock. Most of my cards feature white as the base of my cards.

Next up we have Let's Celebrate, a fun set for creating backgrounds for any occasion illustrated by Beth Silaika.

For this one I cut a mask with a circle die to create the balloons. I then ink blended several of the Electro Pop Neon inks, heavier towards the bottom for shadowing. I used a straight edge ruler to make the strings of the balloons and drew the little bows by hand. Black and white heart embellishments were added to complete my card.
