I'm excited to be joining Gina K. Designs for the February 2024 Release! I have a couple cards that I've created to share during tonight's LIVE Release Party over on the Gina K. Designs Facebook Page, YouTube Channel, and Twitch.

Before we get started, make sure to check out the NEW Card Kit. It's called All Things Spring Card Kit and it's jammed packed with goodies !!

My cards feature the NEW With Sympathy stamp set illustrated by Debrah Warner. Sympathy cards are new easy to make but this set is perfect for creating this type of card.

I have two cards to share with you tonight to show how I created CAS (clean & simple) backgrounds to have the sentiment as the focal point.
