February Release Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy to share some new products that we have just released last night over at Gina K. Designs and I'm even more excited because we are having a blog hop today along with some very special guests!

The first product I want to share is the new Wreath Builder Mini Kit and the Wreath Builder stamp set and template bundle.

Both of these options are perfect for creating beautiful wreaths! If you already have circles dies, card stock and adhesive, the bundle might be right for you. But if you're looking for something that is ready to use right out of the box, the mini kit is a great choice!

This is the Wreath Builder Mini Kit:



This is the Wreath Builder Bundle:


Here is a video I made showing you how to use this stamp set and template! Just imagine all of the beautiful wreaths you will be able to make. And we will be adding new wreath building stamp sets throughout the year so this template will be one that you can use for any season!



Here are some close up photos of my projects I shared in the video:







The next thing I want to share is the new Stippled Flowers stamp and die bundle. You can also get the stamp set by itself if you prefer.

This set was hand drawn by my daughter Alicia. It was over Christmas break and we were on a little family vacation. I shared this photo with her and said, can you make me a stamp set that looks like this?


She started getting to work on her iPad Pro and by the end of the week, we had this beautiful Stippled Flowers stamp set:


Here is the stamp and die set bundle:


I made a second video showing you a couple of cards I made using this new bundle. 




Here are some close up photos of my projects I shared in the video:




I can't stop playing with this set and I will have a video soon using this fun Copic technique:


Another new product just released is the new Tidy Towel! I love cleaning my stamps with this Tidy Towel and you will too. It's quick and easy and totally lint free! Just add water and you're ready to go!


We also just released pre-cut card stock in both orientations so you can have tall tent style cards or regular side fold cards. They come in 37 colors in packs of 10. Your cards will be A2 size. (4 1/4" X 5 1/2")

This way, you can try a few colors before you make the larger pack investment. They are not pre-scored so you can use them for mats, die cutting, layering and more, or add the score line and this card stock makes the perfect card base. The colors are 100 lb. and the white and ivory are 120 lb. We have all the colors that have matching envelopes with more colors on the way! 

You can find the card stock here if you are in the USA
And here if you are an international customer. Just scroll down until you see these photos and click on the style you want.

Another new product we have is our new Rose Gold Embossing powder! It's a beautiful peachy pink gold and it's a wonderful addition to our line of premium embossing powder colors.

All of the new items (except the pre-cut card stock) can be found in the What's New category at Gina K. Designs by clicking here.

And if your order totals $75 or more, you will automatically receive the new Doodle Sayings stamp set! No need to put it in your cart. It will automatically be added to your order.


And today, we have some very special guest designers along with our fabulous design team, here to inspire you with their amazing talent!

A huge thank you to Jennifer McGuire, Arjita Singh, Justine Hovey and Rubeena Ianigro for joining us this month to share their talents!

We are also giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky person who leave a comment on the blogs. We will combine all of the names from all of the blogs and choose a random winner. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win! And we might even choose a few extras depending on how many comments we get! We will announce the winner(s) back here on my blog on Monday morning so check back to see if your name was chosen!

Share the Love with Foil-Mates Blog Hop

Hi Friends,

Welcome to our Share the Love with Foil-Mates blog hop! Today, the design team and I have some projects to share featuring the Valentine's Day collection of Foil-Mates products!

This collection is not only for Valentine's Day! The greetings in this collection are perfect for the love of your life but there are many options for your children, best friend, coworkers and more. Whoever holds and special place in your heart will love a beautiful, sparkling Foil-Mates card. These big bold sentiments and backgrounds also work well for candy treats, specialty boxes, and tags.

You can get your Foil-Mates for just about any occasion by visiting our online store here: 
Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates Collection

Here are three projects I made using this new collection.


It's always easier for me to show you how I make things rather than write up a step-by-step tutorial, so today, I have a special video showing you how easy it is to create these foiled projects!

You can watch the video here:



The design team has put together a fun blog hop for you and we are giving away a $50 Gift Certificate! As you hop through each of the sparkling blogs, leave a comment. We will choose one lucky winner who will take home a $50 gift certificate to the Gina K. Designs online store. :)
