Hello! Today I have another card to share with you, featuring my latest stamp set for Gina K Designs, called Dashing.
Here is the video I made to show you how I made the card and you can see step by step photos below.
Stamp the holly image, from the Dashing stamp set, twice, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I only show one image, but you'll need two for the finished card. After stamping, begin coloring using Copic marker G28.
Add Copic marker G07.
Add G03.
Fill in with G000. Touch up the shading if desired with G28.
For the berries, start with Copic marker R89.
Add R27, leaving just a tiny bit uncolored, then fill that in with R00. For the stem, us E57. After coloring, cut out the holly images.
Trim white cardstock to 4 ½ by 3 ¼ inches and sponge lightly around the edges with Gina K Ocean Mist ink.
Sponge very lightly over the Ocean Mist with Gina K Dark Sage ink. Optional : Sponge extremely lightly with Black Onyx over the Dark Sage. The sponge dauber should be essentially dry for this step to be certain to get a very light effect.
Stamp two of the snowflakes, also from Dashing, using Dark Sage. But be sure to stamp off onto scotch paper first to make the images lighter when stamped on your background. Repeat several times, randomly over the cardstock.
Stamp the sentiment onto the background using Black Onyx ink. Layer the background with a piece of Pure Luxury Black Onyx ink, trimmed slightly larger, then adhere both layers to a 5 ½ by 4 ¼ inch Moonlit Fog card base. Adhere both holly images using craft glue. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello! Today the team at Gina K Designs are showcasing two more new release stamp sets, Holiday Frame from Melanie Muenchinger, and Dashing, illustrated by me! This first card is one I made using Melanie's Holiday Frame set. Love the versatility of this set and how it will work with so many of Melanie's other frame sets!
And here is the card I made using my new set, Dashing. This set is full of holiday images that can be used for elegant and masculine cards. Some of the images can be used for non-holiday winter scenes, as well.
Here is another card using Dashing.
Here is a video for the card above and there are step by step instructions below.
Trim ivory cardstock to 4 ½ by 3 ¼ inches and place a mask, trimmed to 1 by 2 ¼ inches, in the lower right corner. Sponge around the edges of the cardstock using Gina K Warm Cocoa ink.
Deepen the shading around the edges by sponging with Gina K Dark Chocolate ink.
Stamp the large tree image, from Dashing, on the left side using Dark Chocolate ink. I stamped mine so that one tree was off the cardstock and two remained on the cardstock, but you could choose to use all three. Stamp a few additional times, without re-inking the image, to make some lighter impressions. Repeat on the other side of the cardstock.
Switch to the smaller tree image, and stamp again with Dark Chocolate at full strength and stamping a few more times without re-inking.
Stamp both images a few more times, with Warm Cocoa ink, but stamping off onto scratch paper first to make the images lighter.
Stamp the santa's sleigh image using Dark Chocolate ink.
Remove the mask you placed earlier and stamp the sentiment in the open space. I used Gina K Cranberry Tart ink, but if you con't have Cranberry Tart, Cherry Red would be a good alternative.
Use an opaque white gel pen to add snow to the trees and highlights to the sleigh and the rumps of the deer.
To finish, layer with a piece of Cranberry Tart cardstock and adhere to a 5 ½ by 4 ¼ inch ivory card base.

Hello! Gina K has just released more wonderful stamp sets, all themed for Christmas, and today the team is sharing their designs to inspire you. This was a super fun release since I got to spend it in Milwaukee at the Christmas in the Village event at Gina's brick and mortar store, Village Paper and Ink. I met so many wonderful people and had an amazing time. What talented people we had attending! I could go on and on, but I better get to my card.
The first card I made today features the new StampTV kit, Home for the Holidays. I love this new kit! These gorgeous trees are perfect for Christmas cards, but will be fun to use all year.
The second card I made today is from a set called Tis the Sea-sun. I love this set! It's perfect for people that live in a tropical location or are traveling over the holidays.
