Foiling with Stamps and Stencils Using Clear Embossing Powder

Gina K. Designs 2022-11-17 | Today, I showed you a fun way to use your stamps and stencils with clear embossing powder to add sparkle and shine with Deco-Foil and Fancy Foils! This technique gives you a more distressed, antiqued look and it's such a fun way to get a little sparkle and shine without a huge investment!
For a crisper look, you can always use Deco-Foil Transfer gel through your stencils, however, this is a great way to add foil when you are in a hurry and don't have time for gel to dry. And, it gives you another fun way to use your stamps to customize your foiled cards.

Easy Paper Piecing with Die Plates

Gina K. Designs 2022-10-26 | Tonight, I shared a couple of quick and easy Christmas cards using die plates and the paper piecing technique! This technique is always so fun. It feels like doing a puzzle and it's so satisfying to lock each piece into place.

Making Holiday Cards with Scraps!

Gina K. Designs 2022-10-20 | Today, I made two holiday cards using nothing but scraps for all of the focal image parts! By using scraps from my scrap drawer, I was able to create both gifts and ornaments! I created my own patterned paper by embossing background stamped designs on colored card stock, and I made my own gold card stock by using embossing powder for a perfect match! Then, I used the new Holiday Toppers die set to cut bows and hangers to complete my card. You can make lots of these elements and use them for future holiday cards, and make sure to create extra gift elements to be used on birthday cards and for other celebrations!

Cardmaking Techniques with School Supplies!

Gina K. Designs 2022-08-17 | I promised you I would do this so here it is! School supplies are everywhere and they are pretty cheap right now. So, I bought a few favorites from my childhood and I shared a bunch of fun techniques you can do with them! This is a great way to stamp with the kids or grand-kids but keep the good stuff for yourself! It's also a great way for beginners to get a few coloring supplies, and these supplies are great for traveling while keeping your artist quality supplies safe at home. I hope you enjoyed these techniques and I hope you will give some of them a try.

Links to the products I used:

Pink and Gray, Clean and Simple - 5 Minute Cards

Gina K. Designs 2022-08-04 | In today's 5 Minute Cards Video, I show you a beautiful way to use die cuts and ephemera in a simple pink and gray palette. I also use the brick wall stencil and by using gray, instead of a traditional brick red color, it appears more like a cinder block pattern which blends into the background and doesn't take away from the focal images. A pattern like this is the perfect way to ground your die cut pieces and they feel less like they are floating in space.

Soft Stone
Black Onyx

Stencil:
