Woodland Holiday Friends New Release in Pastels

 Greetings everyone! It's me again, Jessie Scott (@chevy.scott on IG) here to share a fun mostly just coloring card! I'm using the large focal image from the newly released "Woodland Holiday Friends" stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs! 

Isn't this large stamp adorable?!?! I wanted a soft pastel Christmas vibe, and I love how it came out!

I had fun masking off this image and splattering with my favorite Kuretake watercolors. To match my card base, I ink blended some distress oxide on the edges. 

Sentiment is the same distress oxide embossed with clear embossing powder to seal it in. 

COST SAVING TIP ALERT!!!

I love getting whatever color embossed sentiment this way! Pigment inks with clear embossing powder is a great way to get more colors than what you have in your embossing powder stash. Now I really only need to have a giant jar of clear, then some white, and other glitter embossing powders and some metallic. No need to buy any plain colored ones! 

Here's a coloring video in case you want to see all the colors I used.

 Hope you enjoy this new set! 

See you again soon!

Merry Christmas by Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends, Noga  here and I am so happy to share with you another project for Gerda Steiner Designs today.

My card featuring brand new the adorable Beary Merry Christmas.

To make this card I took an A2 panel of green cardstock. 

For the background, I die cut the decklrd frame die out of white cardstock. 

Behind it, I ink blended a background using Distress Oxide in shaded lilac, splashed it with water and  and glued it behind this frame.

Next I colored the sweet image using copic markers and stamped a greeting from this set using black ink.

For a final touch, I added some snowflakes sequins.

I hope you enjoy the card I created and feel inspired to create!

Thanks for stopping by,

Noga

It's a Christmas Mash-Up!!

 I've been having so much fun playing with all of Gerda's latest Christmas stamp sets, Woodland Holiday Friends, Beary Merry Christmas and Caroling Woodland Animals.  For this card I decided to take a little something from each one:  fox, bunny and reindeer from Woodland, mouse and tree from Caroling, and Ho X 3 from Beary Merry.  All the characters were fussy cut and colored with copics.

Then, because I'm such a big fan of the littlest mouse from Caroling Woodland Animals, I decided he needed his very own card.

No fussy cutting needed for this one, but I did need to do some masking to add the musical notes.  I used the sentiment from Gerda's Woodland Holiday Friends stamp set.  You're humming the melody to this one right now, aren't you?!😉

I hope you have as much fun with all 3 of these stamp sets as I have had and will continue to have!!

Hope all of your holidays are joyous and fun with lots of happy crafting!!
