So grateful for you 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 the brand new adorable  Little Things Clear Stamp Set .

To make this card I took a piece of bristol smooth cardstock and cut a slimline card.

I ink blended a background using distress oxide in stormy sky with cloud stencil.

Next I colored the sweet images using copic markers: T6, T5, T4, T2, T1, T0, RV11, R0000, R56, E13, E30.

Than I glued them to my panel and stamped a greeting  using black ink.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Noga

Enjoy the ride

 

Hi Everyone!  Just passing by to share this card with the adorable new set "Enjoy the ride".

To create this card I used the masking technique to stamp the puppies and car on one sheet.  I started by stamping the puppies on a piece of watercolor paper (I used Tim Holtz distress watercolor paper).  Next I used some 'not too sticky' washi tape I had laying around to loosely cover up the puppies where I didn't want the lines from the car image to stamp.  Alternatively, you could stamp the puppies on some scrap paper, cut them out and lay the cutout over the stamped puppies.

Next I lined up where I wanted the car window to be with the puppy's paws and stamped this over the washi tape.  I carefully removed the washi tape (watch out for wet ink over the washi tape if using this as the mask) and then realized I covered up too much of the puppies and had to draw in part of the window (after all, it is a journey right?).

To color the puppies, I used Derwent Inktense and a water brush.  Once this dried, I used a Misti to position the top and bottom sentiments from the 'Enjoy the ride' set and stamped these.  

I used the scalloped rectangle from Unity Stamp Co to cut out the image and glued this to an A2 dark grey card base.  Lastly, I finished by gluing some sequins to the card.

Hopefully part of your journey includes creating some cute cards with these two puppies.  Enjoy the journey!

Frogtastic Fireflies Card!

 Greetings everyone! It's me again, Jessie Scott (@chevy.scott on IG) here to share a fun light up card with Gerda Steiner Designs products!

Today I have another fun collaboration with Pear Blossom Press products to share. I needed a summer swap for a card swap group I am in and the GSD Frogs stamp set gave me a fun idea for a bayou sunset with fireflies.

 

For the background, I used Villainous Potion, Uncharted Mariner, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. For the fun look behind the fireflies I spritzed water and then splattered with gold Kuretake watercolor. 

Quick ink blending video here:

Did you realize yet that the GSD Frogs stamp set actually only has FLIES? not FIREFLIES? :-)

It's really easy to stretch your stamps by using a fineliner/multiliner pen to add extra features to a stamp. I just needed to add a little "bulb" bum to the flies and viola! FIREFLIES!

Last but not least.... COLORING! I used my OLO Markers to color these cuties. Here's a fun coloring video I made, including the frog on his lily pad. 

 

For more details on how to light up this card, head on over to my blog today for the companion post! I also have a full video linked there today if you want to see how to make this card in its entirety. 

Here's the finished project!

See you again soon!
