Gina K. Previews Day 2: "Dino-mite" & "Hopeful Hearts"

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of Gina K. Designs Previews. Today, we have 2 more sets for you to enjoy.

Dino-mite: This set is super cute and fun to color too. The images are adorable, perfect for boys and good humorous cards and illustrated by the talented Theresa Momber.

Directions:
  • Make card from Ivory Cardstock. Size 4.25" square.
  • Cut a piece of Chocolate Brown (4" square) and add square pieces of Patterned Paper (1 15/16" each), distress all borders and ink all edges. Adhere to Chocolate piece and add straight stitches.
  • Stamp images in White Cardstock, color them with Copic Markers and cut them out.
  • Die-cut, emboss and stencil a piece of Ivory Cardstock with Circle Nestabilities. To create a even BG, trace same die circle onto Chocolate Brown CS and cut it out. Mat these 2 piece and adhere to card with foam tape.
  •  Add images onto Circle piece. Add Crystal Lacquer to palm tree and set to dry.
  • Stamp sentiment on Ivory Cardstock. Ink all edges and adhere to card.
