The Gina K Designs design team welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop … Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! 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.
Our first featured set today is All Occasion Tags 2 by Tami Mayberry:
I love these pretty frames – they make such quick and easy cards, like this birthday one:
I mixed two of my favorite new Gina K Color Companions Ink Pads, Cherry Red for the frame and Ocean Mist for the sentiment, stamped onto Gina’s Ivory Heavy Base Weight Cardstock. Then I used Copic BG000 to color the outside part of the frame. I used the coordinating Spellbinders Grommet Tags die to cut it out and then popped it up on foam tape. Ocean Mist grosgrain ribbon ties everything together.
Our next featured set is A Year of Flowers 2 by Melanie Muenchinger – I love this new sketchy style of set Melanie created!
I made a set of fun flower magnets:
(Click on any photo for a larger, closer view)
Each flower was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto an Inchie Arts white Twinchie mat board (2-inch) square and then colored with the Copic markers shown below (colors also listed below in supplies):
(Oops, sorry for that upside down R22!)
And here’s the finished set:
Here are the Copic markers I used on the bottom set:
And here they are finished:
The sentiments were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I traced over them with a Copic Pitch Black Atyou Spica Glitter Pen and also added some black glitter pen details to the centers of the flowers. Notice the original sentiments in the set are “for you” and “with love”. I cut them apart and created the “love you” sentiment on the pink & orange magnet above!
Each square was accented with a scalloped square or inverted scalloped square die cut of Gina’s Black Onyx Heavy Base Weight Cardstock and magnets.

I always know where to turn for great coloring. Love those magnets. The "Best Wishes" card is so pretty. Maybe being able to color makes you able to mix papers so perfectly. I cannot do either. Great job. Thanks so much.

Pretty card, reminds me of a quilt. Love the idea of the magnet. Beautiful colors. Think I will try laminating them for a glossy appearance and to last longer. Excellent project.

Cool projects! I love how you showcased the sentiment in the first card while also really showing off how well the coordinating papers work together. Stunning! But I think the best project was definitely the flower magnets. They are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

Those flower magnets are sensational!!! Love the colors you chose. You seem to be a color savvy lady. I am left handed and don't know if there is a way that I can color flowers and such. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
