Gina K. Preview Release Day!

The day is finally here! It’s our last day of previews so that means our release party is almost here! I hope you’ll join us! My first card showcases Carolyn’s new charity set, Warm Winter Wishes—100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of her grandmother who died a year ago. I’m sure she would be so proud…I know we all are on the GK design team! This set is so cute---I love snowmen! It is a mini set, but you get so many fun elements in it, such as a coffee mug, snowflake and fun sentiments! I was inspired to make a frame for my snowman and had so much fun making this card – I wish you could see it IRL—the dimension on it because of the inset frame and paper-toled snowman is great. I colored him with copics and put red stickles on the heart. The snowflake background is emboss resist (snowflakes from the stamptv kit).

Next up is the One Free with 3 set, Holiday Hospitality which is a great set with a large ornament and several greetings for you to make cards, scrapbook pages, gift tags (like I made here) and the list goes on! The sentiment I used on my Hip to be square card the other day is in this set. I used Vintage Holly digital papers made by Emily Giovanni on the card & wrapper around the pumpkin spice bread I made.

Here is a close up of the tag I made for the bread, paper-piecing the ornament and using foam tape for dimension, it was real fun - I love the look of it. I used ribbon from the stampTV kit, white organdy with sliver of gold, it’s just beautiful.
