Gina K Designs Sneak Peek Day 2

Welcome to the second day of the previews for Gina K Designs December Release!  Today Gina K Designs is previewing two more sets and I have two cards to share using the newest set illustrated by Asela called Nesting...

For these two cards I kept to a color theme of Black Oynx, Soft Sand, and Ivory cardstock.  I used the Herringbone CB folder along with some 5/8" Black Stitched ribbon.

I kept the image on the nest itself uncolored so that the three eggs would POP!  It is symbolic of the three I have in my nest and how there is no place I would rather be then home with them.... 

Be sure to comment on each of the participating designer's blogs and Gina will randomly choose FOUR winners from ALL of the comments!  Gina will announce the winners tomorrow night, at the top of this entry on Gina's Blog just before preview day 3.

Gina K Designs Sneak Peek Day 1

Welcome to the first day of the previews for Gina K Designs December Release!  This is my first month on the Gina K Designs Design Team and I am just thrilled and honored to share some of the samples I made with the stamp sets which will be released this Thursday night at 10 PM (CST).

First up is Mugs and Kisses which is illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.  This stamp set is jam packed with some fabulous sentiments and images that will be perfect for anyone you know that enjoys a good cup (or mug) coffee, tea, chai, hot cocoa and even soup!  I decided since it was almost December to create a Christmas card.   

Don't you just love that peppermint stick!!!  Eeks, so cute!  I used Chocolate Brown cardstock and layered it with Lipstick Red and Ivory.  I added a bit of  Chocolate Stitched 5/8" ribbon and a little Happy Holidays tag.  I used Spellbinders Large Classic and Scalloped Circles for my image which was paper pieced.  Melanie has certainly created another adorable set and know I will use it a ton...  Don't you just love that BIG mug :o)

My next project features the newest set illustrated by Tami Mayberry called  

Block Greetings...

And yes...the squares in this set coordinate with Classic and Scallop Large Square Spellbinders dies!  Tami included beautiful sentiments that fit perfectly within the scalloped oval.  For my card, I kept it to a simple Friend greeting.  I love how quickly you can create a card with this stamp set and plan on creating sets of cards to give as gifts. ( I am also entering this into the  Card Creations: Favorite Occasions Week All Occasion Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.)

BIG News!!!

I have been sitting on a BIG secret and somehow I managed to keep my lips sealed...yes, it is possible, lol! ;o)  Gina asked me to join the Gina K Designs Design Team, eeeekkkkkssssss!!!  So very excited and quite an honor to be amongst the talent of the current team and those that are joining the DT with me.

I do have a  project to share using Nina's Heirloom Ornaments:

I loved the card Nina made (HERE) for the release party and just had to try it myself.   In addition to Heirloom Ornaments, this card also features the worded background from Vintage Backgrounds, and the sentiment is from Fanciful Tags.  I started making this card using  Gina's sketch today over on Stamp TV...however, not thinking it fits now due to my ornament, lol!  The patterned paper is from the new Christmas line from Graphic 45.

Now who all is joining the GKD team you may ask....
Here they are:
