Christmas Card by Monica

This week our design team is going to be sharing Christmas projects!  We know everyone likes to get ahead on these and we figured when better than July to start just that! 

Merry Christmas in July everyone. I want to share q quick card I made using Gina's Designs doilies. I embossed the bottom piece with a Darice folder and colored the tree with my copics.  I will admit I am not a copic pro, but the more I use them the better I get.  I know its obvious I am in love with these doilies.

I used the doily as sort of a backdrop for the centerpiece, which is a globe and has snow in it.  Once again Happy Christmas in July everyone!!

Sweet Chippies by Heidi

Hello- Heidi here to show you some sweet chipboard pieces today.   I make a lot of cards and I wanted to show you how to very quickly and easily incorporate Gina's chipboard piece onto your cards.  I love how simple they are and just a dab of paint makes it "pop"

The first card is, well just darned sweet.  These apothecary jars are adorable will come in a variety of designs and sizes.  I put pink crackle paint on the one and then used a green paint on the other and then crystal lacquer over it to make it shine.  I really just needed a simple card for someone and this was quick and easy with the chippies!  

This second card uses one of the new chipboard borders sticks(you can see a couple additional styles there as well).  Once again, easy to color to coordinate with your project- plus these come in I think 12 in. so you can use for scrapbooking.  I think that you will find these to be quite beautiful and detailed.

Stalker Layout by Nancy

It's Nancy here with a layout featuring my cat Missy.  This month the Design Team combined Gina's awesome chipboard shapes with animal print papers from The Robin's Nest.   I chose the leopard print and I distressed it with some script stamping, then dragged it through some Tim Holtz distress inks that I watered down on my non-stick craft mat.  It came out tea dyed just like I wanted.  I surrounded Missy in grasses from Gina's Designs, and some ferns I had in my stash.  The leopard butterflies are by Renea Bouquets. I hope you like it!

Purse Cards by Marjolaine

Hello friends, Marjolaine here! I've been playing with some cool new things this week. First off, these awesome chippies from my latest shipment of Gina's Designs which also came with these fun papers from The Robin's Nest. I also used my new Cricut Events Girls Makeup Party cartridge that I won at a crop.

These were supper easy to make. I didn't bother with the Cricut layers because I didn't want to cover up this beautiful paper. I also wanted to show off Gina's doilies and cameos. All that's left to do is plan a party so I can use these cute invitations!

Peacock Feathers Layout by Lisa

Hey Gina's Designs Fans! It's Lisa Novogrodski here with you today! I'm sharing a layout I created featuring the gorgeous Peacock Feathers Shape Set. We are teaming up with The Robins Nest and I have used the Teal Giraffe Cardstock in my background. I cut the paper up and layered it with gesso.
I created this layout in a mixed media style with lots of layers, gesso, modeling paste, mists and stencils.

I used two different Lindys mists on the feathers and then went over it in Diamond Glaze for a glassy sheen.

I love the Peacock feathers! I wanted mine to blend into the this page but image the pop you could add to them if you wanted a bolder look!

Thanks for stopping by!  Lisa
