Gina K Double Duty

 

Today is the 22nd and it is Double Duty Day!  This is the 62nd month, so we are now into our 6th year!  More Doubling Up!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For March we are back with Gina K Designs.  This is a favorite of all four of us and especially me.  The company is based in SE Wisconsin, about 20 minutes from my house.  I do miss her retail store that closed during Covid--it sure was fun to shop in person and see Gina herself!

I picked a sweet stamp set with the coordinating die set along with the matching stencils called Delicate Dahlias.  I used the same Pinkfresh ink cubes for blending the yellow flowers on both cards.  I went with a white on white bases for both of the floral images.  The sentiments and their matching dies are from the same set.

For this sympathy card, I used a Stampin' Up 3D Embossing Folder called Zinnis for the base layer.  I added a frame from Pinkfresh Studio die set called Pretty Frame.  I added some Studio Katia Lemon Burst Pearls around the image.

 

For the You are in my Thoughts card, I used a Brass & Bliss die called Lattice with Scallops Cover Plate and layered it three times.  I added some Pinkfresh Studio Leaf Glitter Drops around the image.

 

Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's,  Darlene’s,  and Terry's blogs. I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards. 

Next month we are going to highlight Brass & Bliss.This company makes such fun products.  So be sure to check out our cards on April 22nd!
