Christmas/Winter Wishes

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 Becky 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!

Becky Oehlers is a member of the Gina K. Designs Illustrator Team! Becky’s style is really fun, crisp and clean.  They are used to make wonderful cards with just the right message or can be used to add some fun to your scrapbooking pages.  In addition, Becky is one of the best card designers and artists in the craft world.  Go to Becky’s blog to look at the great things she has been up to AND view the card samples she has created with her newest stamp set “Mistletoe Memories".  

Speaking of Mistletoe Memories, my first card uses Becky's great set!!  This is such a fun set and I had a great time making my card!!  I used Memento Espresso Truffle for the stems and Northern Pine for the leaves.  The sentiment was embossed with red embossing powder and I found the little cotton balls in my stash and they fit in perfectly for the berries!!

This card was fun to make!!  I fell in love with this snowman from the moment on I saw him, he puts a big smile on my face!  :)  I started out by embossing him, then masking the snowball portion.  I sponged Memento Summer Sky starting at the ground, I then sponged Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans.  Finally I added Liquid Applique and fine glitter before heating.  I like to add glitter to Liquid Applique because alone it is sticky after heating but if you add glitter you won't have to worry about it sticking to the envelope!
