Penguins 2022 - Larissa

 

Goodmorning, today I am posting a new card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This will be my last card for Gerda Steiner designs, because earlier this month I told Gerda that I wanted to end my time as a designer for Gerda Steiner designs. I am thanking Gerda for everything. I have made a card with the digital stamp Penguins 2022 from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have fussy cut the image.

On a white card I have made a background for my card with Tumbled glass Distress ink. With the Snijmallen Slimline randen 4 bergen & water (CDSN-0099) from Carlijn design I have cut a row of mountains and also an snowlayer from white cardstock. I have coloured the edges of those with Peacock feathers Distress ink and then I glued them on the card. I have glued the image with foamtape on the card. I have stamped a sentiment from the set Christmas handletter Prettige feestdagen (SL-ES-stamp87) from Studio light on white cardstock. I have cut the sentiment into a banner shape with a die from the set Snijmallen Verticale banners stitching (CDSN-0090) from Carlijn design. I have glued the banner with foamtape on the card. I was missing something on my card, so I decided to draw fireworks with a glitterpen. I glued 2 red hotfix gems on the banner with the sentiment.

Welcome 2020!

Happy Thursday!  I’m Allison Cope your hostess today here on the Gerda Steiner Designs blog today.

Most of my Christmas cards are made and off in the mail already so I thought I’d skip ahead to New Years cards.

I thought the adorable “Baby on the Moon” reminded me of the New Years Baby so I thought he might make the perfect 2020 card.

I colored him up using Copic Markers and then added some shimmer and shine using “Confetti Sparkle” cardstock, some silver foil and some Liquid Pixie Dust.

I think I’ll send this card to my Mom or my sister this year!

Thanks for stopping by!  If you're interested in the supply list, please visit my blog.

So Much Snail Cuteness!

Happy Friday everyone! Cathy here sharing a card today featuring the adorable new Holiday Snail stamp set! This snail is just the cutest ever and these stamps are PERFECT for all of you out there who get behind on Christmas cards and mail yours after New Year's. You know who you are... 

 All of the sentiments in this set are separate so you can leave the belated off and deliver on time too!

First, I stamped the snail and masked the image before inking the background with Spun Sugar distress ink. I then inked a holiday sweater stencil with Worn Lipstick distress ink.

Before I colored the snail, I stamped each sentiment in Peacock Feathers distress ink and again in Versamark ink and heat embossed each with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I like to do this step first before coloring an image just in case I make a mess with the embossing powder or stamp a sentiment crooked, etc.

I added a few die-cut snowflakes that I heat embossed with pink sherbet Wow! embossing powder for some extra sparkle and shine.

Hope you have a fabulous crafty weekend! See you again soon!
