"Christmas / Winter Wishes" Blog Hop

November Blog Hop Badge


WELCOME TO THE NOVEMBER “CHRISTMAS/WINTER WISHES” BLOG HOP!
Hi everyone!  Thanks for playing along in our November blog hop!  The Blog Hop with Sean & Regina will now be featuring Gina K. Designs stamps only for our monthly blog hops starting this month!  A lot of us have started to create our holiday cards.  There are some amazing new stamp sets by Gina K. Designs that were released in October and we are sure to be inspired in the upcoming November release as well! 
This month, we are honored that we are joined by Rebecca Oehlers, a Gina K. Designs Illustrator who has created some beautiful stamp sets for Gina K. Designs available in the Stamp TV Store!
The blog hop designers have been busy creating a card or cards that we hope will inspire you to create some beautiful Christmas and winter themed cards for your family and friends.  Enjoy yourself as you hop along for the holidays! 
OUR BLOG HOP SPONSOR!

This is the project I made for you. I didn't use the traditional Christmas colors and went a little bit Shabby-chic :)

Sending Warm Wishes:
  • Make card base from Ivory Cardstock.
  • Cut a panel from Sandy Beach (3.75" x 5"), ink the flat side of Snowfalkes embossing folder with Antique Linen Distress, it will ink only the deboss part and make the snowflakes from the folder a little lighter.
  • Mat this piece with a sligthly bigger piece of Innocent Pink Cardstock. Add stitches.
  • Stamp sentiment on a piece of Sandy Beach CS in Memento Espresso Truffle Ink. Stamp snowflakes in Memento Angel Pink Ink. Die-cut, emboss and stencil piece with Label 8 Nestabilities Dies. Die-cut and emboss a piece of Warm Cocoa with Decorative Labels 8 Nestabilities.
  • Die-cut, emboss and stencil Poinsettia flower in different sizes, create a flower and adhere it to card.
  • Add Swirl bling.
