And as you hop through their blogs, 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 Gina K. Designs Grab Bag that could have anything from stamps to paper to embellishments! To see the list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!!


Over the next 3 days the Gina K DT will be showcasing all the new releases for you!  I’ve used “Joyous Holidays” (stamps are available in rubber & clear) on my card!  I always like to try to create a few simple holiday cards that could easily be mass-produced yet still be very elegant.  This uses some beautiful paper from and just a few other layers.  The mats are done with a Spellbinders die “Labels 16” and then I accented with some Liquid Pearls.  The main image of “mistletoe” was embossed in gold then highlighted with Stickles.  The double bow was done with my Bow Easy and all papers were lightly distressed.

Now go hop along to each designers blogs and make sure to leave comments for a chance to win!!!
