Gina K. Designs June 2020 Release – Cards from IG Hop

June 22, 2020by karenrhightower2 Comments

Today over on InstaGram, Gina K. Design is having a Hop. I wanted to share the cards I made here also. I have really enjoyed creating with all these fabulous sets from the release. Here is a look at the sets. Since the Kits sold out so fast, Gina K. has placed another order and will have a second batch of kits before much longer.

Here is a look at two cards I made using Nature’s Touch Card Kit.

Watercolored this one and used the Hello word die, oval dies and some beautiful patterned paper.

Here are the items I used for this card:

I did some masking and ink blending for this background.

Next up is the Free to Flourish stamp set. I love the elements in this set.

I had fun creating with the solid images, the two step stamp images and the line art images.

Here is the items used for this card:

This was was fun! I used the techniques Gina K. Showed in one of her lives. I ran the stencil through my die cutting machine to emboss it then I scored lines and did the woodgrain technique on it. It has a carved wood look. I really like the look this technique offers.

And here are the items used for this card.

I hope you have enjoyed the cards from the InstaGram Hop and I hope you have a wonderful day and take a little time to get inky! ❤

Much Love, Karen

June 17, 2020June 17, 2020by karenrhightower84 Comments

Hi and Welcome everyone! I am so Glad you have joined us today for Day 3 of the New Card Kit & Illustrator Release. Wow, so many wonderful sets released this month! Are you ready for more Inspiration using the New Nature’s Touch Card Kit and the New Awesome – Master Layouts Dies? There is also a Fabulous Incentive stamp set that is free with a $75.00 purchase. Here is a look at the Card Kit – Nature’s Touch and the Master Layouts Dies.

So many beautiful images in this kit and the stencil has been fun to use too! This kit will sit at my desk for a long while. The silhouette images are going to be fun to use for different techniques. Of course the Flowers are just the Best! 😉 Here are the cards I made for Release Night!

Do you want a chance to Win a Gina K. Designs Gift Card?

Leave some love on the blogs as you hop along for your chance to win a $50.00 Gift Card! ❤

Enjoy the Hop and hope you are inspired!

Here are the cards I made using the New Nature’s Touch Card Kit and Masters Layout Dies.

This card I masked off so I would have a center focal area. I ink blended the background, stamped the image and then decided that I wanted to do the Bokeh (is a photography term for Blurred Lights)Technique on this card! I used a small sponge dauber to create the light orbs.

Here are the Items I used for this card!

https://linkdeli.com/widget.js?id=f5e8378456858c916708

I just had to do some watercoloring and make a VIdeo using these flowers! ❤ There are dies for them, but I had already stamped and colored before I realized I might want to cut the flowers out. So I had to fussy cut the flower out. I prefer dies! 🙂 So many of you are Great at Fussy Cutting and make it look so easy and get it perfect. It isn’t for me! LOL. But I will keep trying! I did make a panel with leaves and watercolored then used the Master Dies to cut out the rectangle panel.

You can see the video here > https://youtu.be/st6p3SjqKas or click the card photo below.

The card I made in the video :

Here are the items used for this card.

Thank you again and I hope you take a little time to get inky! Much Love, Karen
