Gina K Designs' Aug 2010 Preview, Day One

Welcome to another week of previews and release party with the Gina K Designs' team. I'm so excited to share with you my latest sets, Grand Damask and Fanciful Tags, which fit inside the Spellbinders' Fancy Tags dies. These are smaller sets, so they are more affordable, and they go well together.

The Grand Damask set has a large damask as seen below and coordinating elegant flourishes.

The Fanciful Tags set includes the small frames that fit inside the Spellbinder Fancy Tag dies and FIFTEEN sentiments that fit inside the frames and/or dies. It could very well be the only sentiment set you'll ever need :-).

If you're a frequent visitor to my blog, you know how much I love to make card sets to give away to friends and family. I want to show you how easy it is to make an elegant set of cards with these two stamp sets. Here are the cards (click on the photo for a larger view):

And a close up of one:

The card base is the heavy base weight Ivory. I used the following inks: Vivid Aqua, Brick Red, Tea Rose and Lemon Ice. The ribbon is also by GinaK. I die cut Black Onyx with the Spellbinders Fancy Tags dies. The white oval in the center was punched out with a Stampin' Up! oval punch. I added rhinestones to fancy up the damask :-).
