NEW YEAR AND WINTER CARDS - GINA'S DESIGNS

It's almost a new year! I made a few cards using Gina's chipboard shapes to send out in the new year! I thought this was a good idea for those of us that did not send out Christmas cards.
 For this first card I used some pine tree chipboard shapes and put a very thick layer of silver modeling cream and fine glitter. Under the trees, I used one of the snowflakes, from the snowflake shape set. I painted it a "weathered wood" color to match the barn, and placed an intricate doily underneath.


I really had fun with this "Let It Snow" card!
I used one of the large snowflakes and a beautiful flourish! Both have gesso, white paint, and fine glitter on them. 
For the title I used chunky glitter glass instead of glitter.
The gold snowflake was covered with Inka gold, and then a small about of gold embossing powder was heat embossed..


I thought this was a pretty card idea for the winter. I love snow and cardinals!
 For this winter card, I used several of the snowflake shapes and stacked them. I painted each piece with white gesso, white paint, and sprinkled chunky glitter glass over each piece. I dabbed a bit of Inka gold on the tree. I wanted some of the natural chipboard to show through.
I used red brick chalk ink for the word Joy.





Thank you for stopping by today and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

A Merry Christmas - Gina's Designs

Today I'm sharing a whimsical Christmas theme layout using three chipboard shape sets from


The chipboard feathers, which come in a set of seven different sizes, are covered in white gesso and fine glitter. They have a soft beautiful shimmer in person. Actually, I sprinkled the fine glitter all over the page! It's so difficult to capture the sparkle in a photo!


The chipboard snowflakes, which also come in a set of multiple designs and sizes, are painted with white gesso and glitter snow.


I love the "Evie" set of flourished frames! I used white gesso and then white crackle paint for a vintage shabby feel.


I hope all of your wishes and dreams come true this holiday season!

Tresors de Luxe December mood board challenge

Happy holiday season to everyone!
Today I'm sharing a layout inspired by the beautiful December Tresors de Luxe mood board!
When I saw the mood board, I was drawn to the silver, the snowflakes, the red berries, the ice and snow. A beautiful winter theme!


Here are few close ups of the gorgeous rhinestone pieces and the lace.


The paper under the lace is actually a silver foil design.  It looks much darker in this photo.

A Winter Ride - Gina's Designs

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout about winter and snow! I've been away a few weeks and it feels great to get back to scrapping! I was really excited when I saw Gina's new piece, the "horse and carriage"! And I love the chipboard snowflake shapes!


There are several different snowflake shapes in the snowflake set, but I chose to use just one of the designs, in two sizes. I painted the snowflakes with white gesso and then added some Snow Tech glittering snow! There is a beautiful shimmer in person, but not too much for a "shabby" layout.


After I chose the paper with the snow covered trees, I knew the horse and carraige would be perfect for this layout!  I painted it with white gesso, walnut stain distress paint, and heat embossed Pirates gold embossing powder.
