The One with the Gina K Designs April 2021 Card Projects

 

Hello everyone. Today I have a few card projects using some of the products from the NEW April 2021 release from Gina K Designs. I have a video doing some very simple stamping and a few cards that I stamped by hand, just playing around. In the video I used the Go To Greetings stamp set as well as the Count it All Joy stamp set to create a simple one layer card.

I also have this three card set using the same sentiment stamp set Go To Greetings. I love the font used in this set and spent several hours with just me and my acrylic block stamping away. I loved the results so much that I made them into cards. 

This first card uses a diagonal design that is much easier to pull of perfectly using the MISTI, I was just playing and eyeballed the entire thing. 

I was using a gray pigment ink for the majority of the stamping, then used Ranger Archival ink for the one "hello" to stand out among the rest. I added a simple pre printed sentiment from my stash by popping it up with some foam adhesive. 

The entire panel was popped up with black craft foam and added to a medium gray card base cut to size A2 and scored in a top folding portrait orientation. 

 For the next card I stamped the first "hello" from the Go To Greetings stamp set and then proceeded to stamp off with the subsequent stampings aligned with the original to give an ombre effect. I also added another pre-printed "congrats" sentiment with foam adhesive. 

For the next card, I stamped the "hello" vertically on a piece of heavy weight white card stock and then added the "you are the coolest" horizontally in Gina K designs Whisper ink. I then added one of the solid leaf images from the "Count it All Joy" stamp set. 

I finished this one off with a frame die cut from black card stock and adhered with liquid adhesive. Popped it up with some craft foam and stuck it on a Fog card base, this time in an A2 side folding landscape orientation. 

Last, but not least I have a fun card mixing the new stamps sets with the older Crafty Notes stamp set also by Gina K Designs. For this card I stamped the epicurean board from the Count it All Joy set onto alcohol marker friendly paper with alcohol marker friendly ink by Gina K and colored it with my alcohol markers. I also stamped the watercolor palette and Washi tape images from the same set and colored those as well. I just used my scissors to fussy cut them out. 

I then stamped the "hello" sentiment from the Go To Greetings set with Gina K watermark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I stamped it onto watercolor paper so that I could make a piece of art to tape to my board. I watercolored it using water based markers and a water brush. I used that same marker and water brush to splatter on the same color onto a piece of plain white cardstock cut to 3 1/2 by 4 3/4 for the background. 

This is absolutely what I use my epicurean board for. I have two of them. It works great to handle my watercoloring in progress. I know many of my crafty friends will understand and relate. 

Once all of my images were colored, I popped up the board and the palette and adhered everything else using tape runner adhesive. 

The sentiment is another pre-printed sentiment that was there and ready for me to use. To finish it off I added a few clear water droplets from my stash. 

I hope I've inspired you to create something today. To see more from Gina K Designs (CLICK HERE!) to visit her website.

The One with the Gina K Designs February Card Video and Extra Project

 

Hello everyone. Today I have some fun card projects using NEW products from the Gina K Designs February Release. I used the NEW Somebunny stamp set and coordinating dies to create both of these card projects in this post but a full list of products used can be found linked below. 

I have a video over on my YouTube channel making this card. To see some extra slimline cards using this same stamp set, just keep scrolling down.

I used the same inks and supplies on both of these cards. I started with a piece of cardstock cut to 3 1/2 by 8 1/2 which is my preferred slimline measurement. I aligned the silhouette of the bunny with the Front/back position and cut him in two rows of three. I didn't measure this. I just lined it up to the best of my ability. I was not at all worried about it being perfect. 

I used the negative card panel I created cutting the bunnies to create the first panel popping it up onto an ink blended panel cut to the same size. I popped it up using thin strips of foam tape. 

The positive pieces were ink blended on and popped up onto a separate panel using the same design style and foam tape. Only the panel I added the bunnies too was cut down by a quarter of an inch. 

I added the sentiments by heat embossing in a contrasting arrangement using both clear and white embossing powder. The panel were then added with foam tape. 

To finish off the card I added little white Pom Poms to each of the bunnies' bums unless the sentiment was prohibiting me from doing so. I used a dollop of liquid glue to attach them.
