Lettuce be friends forever! - Larissa

Goodmorning, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and  today I am posting a card made with a new stampset from Gerda Steiner designs.

For all Guinea pig lovers Gerda has drawn the stampset Wheek, wheek, wheek.... Guinea pig from Gerda Steiner designs. I stamped 2 guinea pigs and some lettuce leaves and a tomato. I have coloured all images with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have fussy cut all the images. I added a little cut under the paws from the guinea pig, so he can really hold the lettuce in his paws. On a white card I adhered a strip red striped design paper from the Really rainbow petite paper pack from Lawn fawn on the bottom of the card. On a piece of white cardstock I made a background for the images with Brushed corduroy and Tumbled glass distress ink. I added lines on the card with a 8 mm fineliner. I adhered the white cardstock with foamtape on the card and then I rounded the bottom corners of the card with the corner chomper. The sentiment is also from the stampset Wheek, wheek, wheek.... Guinea pig from Gerda Steiner designs. I adhered it with foamtape on the red design paper.

Bee strong!

Hi there,

it's Tanja her and ever since I saw that cute little bee from the Gerda Steiner Designs Bee strong set I wanted to color her with rainbow colors:

• stamp the little bee from the Gerda Steiner Designs Bee strong set with Memento Tuxedo Black and color her with Delta, Copic and Touch Twin Brush Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• add highlights with a white gel pen and sparkle with Wink of Stella Clear Glitter
• cut out a stitched panel from Bristol Smooth cardstock and create a background with Distress Oxide Inks (Abandoned Coral, Wild Honey, Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover, Wilted Violet)
• apply some more Distress Oxide Ink Wild Honey through the ARTplorations Honeycomb Delight Mini stencil
• cut out a spinner channel with the help of one of the My Favorite Things Circle Spinner Channels and complete the interactive set up with two layers of foam tape
• stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Bee strong set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with ZING Butter embossing powder

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,

Wheek Wheek Wheek! Release Day! - Jeannie Lieu (InsideoutJeans)

Wheek Wheek Wheek! It's Monday and the new Gerda Steiner Design's stamp sets will be released soon.

I, more or less, made the same noises when I saw her post a sneak of this cutie pie on her Instagram awhile back. It's adorable and I'm so excited that she created a full set with them.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made using this stamp set. I'm loving the punny sentiments and just had to use "Lettuce Be Friends Forever".

I chose to use Kraft cardstock for my background so I use colored pencils. I stamped the two lettuce images onto the background in no particular pattern using white pigment ink. From experience, I learned to use lighter colors for the edges of an image so there's more of a contrast of colors against the background. It does make the lettuce pop, doesn't it?

I fussy cut the main guinea pig image that I loved so much from the sneak peek and wanted him to stand on the sentiment, which I heat embossed in white on a piece of vellum. I chose to add vellum because I have such a busy background, I didn't want him to get lost in front of it. It helps spotlight him so your eyes first go to him.

Here's my finished card.

I hope you like it as much as I do. I adore this set! Check out the new release, Wheek Wheek Wheek and Easter Friends. I'll be back at the end of the week to share a card using Easter Friends so come back soon!

Oh manatee - Larissa

Goodmorning, 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 card with the stampset Oh manatee from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped a couple of images and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils. I have fussy cut the images. I have cut a rectangle from white cardstock with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 52 from Crealies. Then I have cut a circle out of it with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 49 from Crealies. I have made a a background for the images on a piece of watercolor paper with Ultra marine and Emerald green Brusho. Then I made some paint splatters on the background with green paint from the Pearlescent colours palette from Finetec. I adhered the background on a blue card and adhered the white rectangle with foamtape on the card. I placed all the images inside the circle. I have used Crystal glaze from Nuvo to make a couple of little drops on the background. I have stamped a sentiment from the set Oh manatee from Gerda Steiner designs on white cardstock and then on blue cardstock and then I adhered them on the card.

Hidden Bookmark Card - Hoppiness - Jeannie Lieu (InsideoutJeans)

Hi everyone! It's Jeannie back again to share a card using the Hoppiness set. This set totally reminds me of spring! I can't wait for the warm weather and longer days!

This card contains a bookmark for the recipient to use for a book they might be enjoying. You can remove it from the card and leave the card intact as well so it doesn't look like anything is missing. I do this by creating two identical version of this scene. For the front panel, I used foam tape to pop it up so the bookmark is snug. The sentiment in front helps make sure this bookmark doesn't fall out. Isn't this super cute? That bunny just tugs at my heart!

If you want more details, check out how I created it at my YouTube: Video Tutorial

Happy hoppy - You are simply.... - Larissa

Helly everyone! I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting 2 new cards on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. I have made 2 sort of valentines cards that are not super valentine themed. Both cards are made with stamps from the stampset Happy hoppy from Gerda Steiner designs.

I have stamped the bunny and the heart balloon from the set Happy hoppy from Gerda Steiner designs and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen and then I have fussy cut the images. On a white card I made a background with the Mini cloud edges stencil from My favorite things and Tumbled glass distress ink. I stamped a sentiment from the stampset on it and then I adhered the bunny with foamtape on the card. I gave him black embroidery thread in his little paw and the other end I attached to the heart balloon and then I adhered the balloon on the card. I made a little bow from the black embroidery thread and adhered it on the balloon. With a black pen I doodled some lines on the card. Finally I coloured the balloon with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen.

The second card is also made with a bunny from the stampset Happy hoppy from Gerda Steiner designs. This bunny is also coloured with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have fussy cut the image. On a white card I made a background for the image with the Drifts & hills stencil van My favorite things and Tumbled glass and Mowed lawn distress ink. I have stamped a sentiment on the card and then I adhered the bunny with foamtape on the card. I used a black pen to doodle lines on the card. 

I stamped a couple of little hearts around the bunny and after I coloured them with my pencils, I also coloured them with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle pen.

I tied white ribbon around it and then I adhered it on a white card. From white cardstock I have die-cut an oval with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 51 from Crealies. I made cloudybackground on it with the Mini cloud edges stencil from My favorite things and Tumbled glass distress ink. From another oval I have die-cut 2 grass borders with a Grass die and I coloured those with Mowed lawn distress ink. One border is adhered on the oval with double sided tape. Then I adhered the bunny image with foamtape and then I added the last grass border with foamtape. I have die-cut a scalloped oval from white cardstock with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 55 from Crealies and I adhered the oval with the image on top of it. I adhered both ovals on the card and then I added a little bow from white ribbon.

On the front of the card was no space left for the sentiment, so I stamped it on the inside. I used a sentiment from the set Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs for it.
