Meet Gina K this Weekend!

Gina K. has been in love with all things paper for as far back as she can remember. Her many experiences include the Crafty Corner spot on the local morning news, teaching thousands of paper crafters at shows around the country and publishing many tutorials in top paper-crafting magazines.

Gina is also the creative director for Gina K. Designs, LLC, her own stamp and paper-crafting company, and hosts an online paper-craft show called StampTV. Her card-making and paper-crafting technique videos have garnered millions of views from paper crafters worldwide.

Gina fell in love with foiling when she purchased her first tube of DecoFoil™ and the romance has bloomed into a complete line of Foil-Mates™ products.

Her sincere belief is that everyone can make beautiful things with a little instruction and the right tools and products.

Gina lives in Greendale, WI, with her husband Tom, where they own a brick-and-mortar paper-craft store called Village Paper & Ink. They have two beautiful daughters, Alicia and Rina, who are currently attending college in New York and Minneapolis.

Gina will be demoing her signature products by Gina K. Designs in the Craft Fancy Booth on Friday 8/18 & Saturday 8/19 at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo. We love to see you at the show.
