New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! This blog hop is for our December Release.  We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projects as you hop along in the hop this month!  Enjoy the gorgeous inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog for your chance to win a Gina K. Designs Prize Package!  To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop.

If you missed the release party, I posted a release party presentation video where I showed you how I made my two projects for the release. The video is still available HERE at StampTV.

The first card I made featured Beth's new Hippo Bird Day stamp set.


This card was so much fun to make! You can see it step-by-step in the video. 


My second card featured the new Twine Time by Melanie Muenchinger.


I really love stamp sets that allow me to stamp in color! So I used a WHOLE bunch of colors on this one! And this one is in the video too! :)


Both of these new sets are now available in the What's New category at Gina K. Designs!
