The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you back to Day 3 of our January release inspiration blog hops … Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through the blogs listed below, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a few days after the hops.
Today’s first featured stamp set is the new One Free With 3 set, Sweet Tweets:
How cute is this set and it's FREE with your purchase of three other stamp sets! It has great sentiments for everything from birthday cards and invitations, to just a "You're so tweet" card! I love the darling birds carrying the "celebrate" banner ... I made this 4.25" card with it:
I stamped the birds with Memento Gray Flannel ink onto the coordinating Sweet Tweets Silhouette cut file, to match the softer blacks in the Crate Fourteen paper I used. Then I color it with these Copic markers: BG53, R81, R83, YR01, YR02. Gina's Color Companions Ocean Mist wide grosgrain ribbon and Innocent Pink button were perfect matches to the paper.
And last, but not least, in our January new stamp sets is a brand new sweet line of Darling Divas Mini Sets by Debbie Corbari, our newest illustrator to join Gina K Designs … welcome, Debbie!
I’m so excited about having this cute darling Diva line, and my 10 and 13 year old daughters love them, too! Here’s the first card I created with Skater Diva:
I stamped Skater Diva with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Gina’s White Heavy Base Weight Cardstock that had been pre-cut with Debbie’s coordinating Skater Diva Silhouette Cut File, and colored her with these Copic markers:
Her skirt and jacket cuffs are glittered with Star Dust Stickles and she is popped up on foam tape over her figure eight hearts, which were stamped with white chalk ink.
I love that cute sentiment! It was stamped with Jet Black Archival ink. I used last week’s Free Shape of the Week, Love You Card, from the Silhouette Online Store for my card base. It was cut from Gina’s Bubblegum Pink Heavy Base Weight Cardstock, backed with Innocent Pink, and Black Onyx accents.
I can’t wait to share some more Diva inspiration with you later this month!

Wonderful cards. I would send the little bird card to someone who has just had a baby (don't know why that popped into my head). Love the "Love you this much" with the skater card. Good use of the design.
