Gina K October release inspiration blog hop: Day 1

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Day 1 of the Gina K Designs DT Inspiration Blog Hop where we hope to inspire you with many beautiful ideas for the sets released in October! As you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each because we will choose a few random commenters and they will win a grab bag of Gina's products!
Today we are spotlighting the Season's Greetings Kit (now discontinued) The kit includes the stamp set, 24 sheets of coordinating cardstock, pattern papers, ribbons and brads!

 I just love the cute Santa image and inked him up first.  I lightly colored him with copics and added liquid applique to his hat.  I stamped the sentiment in the new pigment white ink (which is amazing, btw),and paper pieced his little ornament.
 My next card uses the same sentiment stamped in the new Navy ink.  I backed the snowflake die cut with strips of pattern paper, ribbon and rhinestones.  It gives it a fun look and is easy to make.
Lastly I have a really simple card using the border image stamped in the new Cranberry Tart ink and the sentiment is stamped in the new Charcoal Brown ink.
Ready for the hop?  Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:
 Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the hop!  Come back tomorrow where we showcase 2 more new sets!  Here are a couple close up pictures.
