Monthly Mix Challenge!

Hi Everyone!!!

Welcome to the 

Monthly Mix Challenge! :)

2018 is here and I was thinking that  

some kindness would be a great way to start the year!

So for this month I thought we would make

 a card for someone letting them know 

we are thinking of them, 

or how special they are.

 Or for their kindness. 

Maybe even a Miss You card! 

Then send it out...

put a stamp on it, drop it in the mail!  :)

You never know how it will brighten someones day! <3 

Here is my cards for the challenge! 

Gina K. Designs:

Stamp Sets: Seasonal Sentiments, Stitched Leaves, & Peaceful Holidays

Pure Luxury Card Stock -White Heavy Base Weight # 120, White Layering Weight

Here are the rules: 

Make Your Holiday Shine with Foil-Mates™

Hi Everyone and Welcome! :) 
We have some Sparkle & Shine For You!

Today we are sharing some fun projects made with 

Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates™ &

Fancy-Foils™ from Therm-O-Web.

Here are some of the items used 

Enjoy all the sparkly projects

 that the team has created and 

then leave a comment on each blog,  

you will be entered in a chance to
 Win a 
$25.00 Gina K Designs Gift Certificate! 

To see who won, 
check the Big News Forum at StampTV 

a few days after the hop. 

Here are a couple other projects I made for today:

I also used the Merry & Bright Kit for the stamped Images 
and Die cut word & flowers! 

I used the sticky toner paper to foil a piece with the Radiant Red Foil 
(that I used for the shadow word die on Christmas) and another with the left over piece of the swirls from the Blizzard Foil-Mates™
then ran it through the laminator a second time with a solid piece of foil so the toner would grab the second color of foil. This gives you a two tone background. I used it to make a frame for my ornament! :) 
Are You ready for some more sparkly Inspiration? 
Next Up is Laurie! 
Thank You for stopping by and 
I hope you take a little time to get inky! :) <3

This first one card project,

 I stamped the ornament image with

 Versa Mark Ink & Heat Embossed with 

Gina K. Designs White Embossing Powder on 

a piece of acetate. 

Also foiled a solid piece of Toner Paper with 

Gina's Radiant Red Foil and then used 

the Christmas Word die to cut it out. 

Then layered on a die cut shadow layer of white. 

Gina K. Designs:

• Stamp Tv Kit - Merry & Bright
• Pure Luxury Card Stock -White Heavy Base and Layering Weight, Turquoise Sea
• Premium Dye Inks - Jelly Bean Green, Fresh Asparagus, & Turquoise Sea 
• Dies from the Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit 
• Fancy Foils  - Radiant Red  
• PeelnStick Toner Sheet by- Therm-o-web
• Fine Detail Embossing Powder - white

On this cad I made a frame from two of the rectangle single stitched dies and die cut a frame from a piece of foiled stripe from Gina's Ornamental Holiday Foil-Mate pack. The Greeting is stamped in my Misti with Red Velvet Ink and then Inked up the stamp with Versa Mark Ink and used Gina K. Designs Clear Embossing Powder over it, so now it has a nice shine to it!  :)

• Premium Due Ink - Red Velvet 
• Fancy Foils - Glitter Green
• Foil Mates - Ornamental Holiday 
• Dies - Lg. Rectangle Single Stitched  
• Fine Detail Embossing Powder - Clear

On this third card, I masked off the left and bottom of my layering piece. Sponged the Turquoise Sea Ink Lightly, then stamped the images. I did the rock & roll technique on the pinecones. 

Gina K. Designs:

• Stamp Tv Kit - Merry & Bright
• Pure Luxury Card Stock - Heavy Base & Layering Weight White, Black Onyx
• Premium Dye Inks - Turquoise Sea, Grass Green, Dark Chocolate, Warm Cocoa, & Black Onyx

This one I have a frame mask and I placed it over my layering piece and sponged in the Denim Blue Ink, but not to dark, as I wanted my greeting to show up. I stamped the pine branch in Black Onyx and the Greeting in the Denim Blue Ink

Stamp Tv Kit - Merry & Bright
