Penguin with Heart

Hello crafty friends...Jayne here!

Today I would like to share with you a card featuring a Gerda Steiner Digital image

called 'Penguin with Heart'

This cute little adorable Penguin was coloures using Copic markers, I then fussy cut him out and popped him up on foam tape. I punched out a few tiny hearts to decorate the card and heat embossed the sentiment (which was from the MFT Penguins in Paradise stamp set. The Card is an A2 size (4.25"x 5.5") and has the middle of the card front removed and replace with clear acetate. The inside of the card says 'You make my heart melt' (also from Penguins in Paradise stamp set)

Isn't he just the cutest? and so perfect for all your Valentine projects!!

Happy crafting and see you soon xxx

Inspirational Foxes!...

Hello everyone, DT member Jayne here, dropping by with a FOXY post featuring the new "Foxes" stamp set.

When I saw the acorn wreath, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...

The cute little fox and wreath were coloured with Copic markers, cut out and popped up on to foam tape for added dimension. The background was ink blended with Tumbled Glass Oxide ink and splattered with Gold Acrylic paint. The sentiments were stamped directly to the card panel and then mat and layered with Gold mirror card.

For the second card I wanted to ink a night scene because I thought it would look good to stamp the sentiment in the Moon...

Once again, I used Copic markers to colour the cute critters and I ink blended the background elements using Oxide inks.

Be sure to pop over to Gerda's shop for this stamp set and many more!...

Happy crafting and see you soon xxx

Larissa

I made a card with the stamp set Smells like Christmas from Gerda Steiner Designs. 
I have colored the images with my Polychromos pencils and for the background I have used Derwent aquatone pencils. 
I used a white gel pen to draw dots on the cup. I have fussy cut the images.
From green, red and white cardstock I have die-cut a couple of circles with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 41, 49 and 53 from Crealies. 
The sentiments are from the stamp set Beary Happy Holidays from Lawn fawn. I stamped those on white cardstock and after I cut them I adhered them on green cardstock. 
The cardshape is called a cornercard. I saw the instructions on YouTube. It was really fun and easy to make, but it is not the easiest card to take a decent picture of.
With a white gel pen I added faux stitching on the red panels. The snowflakes are from the stampset Beary Happy Holidays from Lawn fawn. I stamped them with Versamark ink and then I embossed them with white embossing powder. 
You can fold the card flat and send it in a normal envelope.

When I was thinking about the coffee-lovers theme, I looked at my stamps and found this mug from the Gerda Steiner Designs Smell like Christmas stamp set. I thought it would be just perfect, if one were in a very cold surrounding and would be offered a steaming hot beverage. This is how I came to pair the cup with the cute penguin from last year's December/January Digital Stamp Bundle ;o) I created the background scene free hand following a video tutorial by Sandy Allnock and stamped the sentiment right on the horizon line.

Jayne

The first card was colored using Copic markers, the sentiment was created on my computer. I fussy cut the dinosaur and popped him onto foam tape for dimension.

The second card was also colored with Copic markers. I added the spots on his scarf with a white gel pen and finally I used glossy accents to raise the heart on his coffee cup... what a cutie!


Thanks for stopping by.
