Gina K October Release Inspiration Hop Day 2


Hello! Today the GKD Design Team are sharing projects made with three more of our October Release stamp sets. First up is Tami Mayberry's fabulous new set, Simple Snowflakes. I love the wonderful images in this set. So perfect for winter or holiday cards! More details about this card below. 
Next up is Mistletoe Memories, a fantastic new set from Becky Oehlers.  I love how you can build up the mistletoe as full as you want with the different leaf clusters Becky designed. So fun! I'll show you how I made this card with step by step photos next week. 

Next up is Beth Sailaka's new stamp set, Deck the Halls. All the wonderful ornaments in this set are so beautiful and elegant! I stamped the ornaments with Memento Bamboo Leaves and Love Letter. Then I used Copic markers to add a touch of shading. I stamped the ornament hanger parts with Versa Mark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. The ornaments were cut out and popped up with Pop Dots.

Be sure to check out all the wonderful projects from the rest of the team. And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops.

To make the Simple Snowflakes card, I began by stamping the snowflakes on white card stock, using Versa Mark ink. Then I sprinkled clear embossing powder on the snowflakes and heat embossed the images.

Before I stamped, I rubbed my embossing buddy on the card stock to help prevent stray bits of embossing powder from sticking where I didn't want it.

Next I sponged Memento Summer Sky ink. The embossed images resist the ink.

Then I sponged Memento Danube Blue ink.

I stamped more snowflakes, using Memento Danube Blue ink.

I cut and embossed a snowflake from Spellbinders™2012 Snowflake Pendant, then sponged Memento Danube Blue very lightly. 

I stamped the large snowflake using Memento Nautical Blue.

The snowflake was adhered with Pop Dots. I added self adhesive gems and a silver twine bow. I layered with Pure Luxury In the Navy on a 5 ½ by 4 ¼ inch white card base. 


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic day!
