Happy Holiday Penguin

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Happy Holiday Penguin. 

I adore this stamp set because of the penguins. They are just adorable and perfect for the main image of a card. Since I wanted to color them in a traditional way, I wanted a fun background. I pulled out my metallic watercolors to create a rainbow card panel. 

To continue the traditional colors, I used green colors to color in the large sentiments and added the penguins on a snowbank. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

Sending Hugs Shaker Cards (from laminating pouches)

 Hello and welcome back. It’s Karen here today and I’ve got a couple of shaker cards to share with you today made with the sweet, new Sending Hugs stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. I’ve made both my cards into Christmas cards but this stamp set is so versatile and could be used year round to send a paper hug, especially during these difficult times!  I’ve made both my shaker fronts from laminated pouches and I have a video for you if you want to see how I made them.  

PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video.

This is my first card and I have to say I love that sentiment! I actually made this into a Christmas card which I think will be totally appropriate this year as we all stay socially distanced (I added  a Christmas sentiment inside).  I’ve listed the copic marker colours I used down below.  The Double Stitch Rectangle Frame die is from Poppy Stamps and the little silver bush is die cut from the Sizzix Holiday Greens, mini die set. The shaker front is made from a laminating pouch with MFT’s Christmas Background stamp done in white ink. 

This is my second card, and although it’s not a shaker card, there is some dimension to it as some of the trees are attached to the frame and sit off the background.  I added some Stampendous Shaved Ice flakes to a laminating pouch to just cover the outside edges of my card front, so it gives it a slightly frosty look.  The sentiment is the Snowy Merry Christmas die from Poppy Stamps and I’ve added some Nuvo Glitter Accents in Fresh Snowfall on the tops of the letters.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great day!

Fa la-la-la-llamas - Merry christmas - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a new card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This week I have made a christmas card with the digital stampset Fa la-la-la-llamas from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the 3 llamas with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen and then I have fussy cut all the images. 

With the Silhouette cameo I have cut a rectangle from kraft cardstock with 3 windows in it. On the bottom of the rectangle I have stamped a sentiment from the stampset Christmas pageant (retired) from Neat and tangled with Versafine clair nocturne ink. I have glued the rectangle with foamtape on black cardstock, after I glued the llamas behind the windows. With a white gelpen I added dots on the black cardstock to make it look like snow.
