Today I have five cards using sets from the October release which can be found in the What's New section at Gina K Designs- Simple Snowflakes, Mistletoe Memories and Deck the Halls




First up I have my newest set, Simple Snowflakes


Of course, you can make tons of cards with the included snowflake images. 
The images in the set are perfectly graduated in size to make them ideal for layering.
They can be cut or punched with your favorite circle punches or dies.
The border form this set is perfect length for most cards but can also be stamped end to end and be extended.


Supplies:
Card stock: Pure Luxury- White, Turquoise Sea (Gina K Designs)
Stamps: Simple Snowflakes (Gina K Designs)
Ink: Beach Ball Pigment Que (Clearsnap)
White pearls (Want2Scrap)
Corner Rounder (Fiskars)
Circle die (Spellbinders)


But don't stop there! 
The  three "warm" greetings from this set are perfect paired with your favorite coffee, hot chocolate and tea images. 


Stamps: Simple Snowflakes, My Cuppa Joe (Gina K Designs)
Card stock: Pure Luxury White (Gina K Designs)
Pattern: My Mind's Eye
Ink: Kettle (Clearsnap)


And when the cold weather is over the greetings will still work perfectly with all those warm summery images! 
Sand castles, palm trees, sunshine, the beach and more!
