Cute tag by Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends, Noga here and I am so happy to share with you a fun project for Gerda Steiner Designs today.

.My tag featuring the  adorable Birthday Bear 4x6 Clear Stamp Set and Birthday Bear Die Set

To make this tag I took a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and cut a tag die.

The background was created by blending shaded lilac distress oxide ink,I spired some water onto it and soaked it up with paper towel.

I also splattered some shaded lilac distress oxide ink with water on it.

Next I colored the sweet image using copic markers. I glued it to my panel with foam tape for dimension.

Next I stamped a greeting from the stamp set using black ink.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

You're my cup of tea....!!

 Hey everyone...

It's Ashlee here today and I've got a new card to share with you using one of the most recent release stamp sets Positivi-tea....

I just love this gorgeous new set and the cute little mouse holding onto it's cuppa was calling for a card!!

I created an ink blended heart for the background using a stencil from Catherine Pooler called Radiant heart and then stamped on parts of the sentiment using black ink...

The large friend word is a die cut from Heffy Doodle that I cut using black cardstock!

I finished the card off using some pretty sequins for a touch of bling...

I hope you enjoy this new card, happy crafting my friends,

hugs Ashlee

Sunshine Bear Mini Flip Slider Card

Hi there! It’s Karen here today and I’ve got a birthday card that features the sweetest, little bear from the brand new “Hello Sunshine” stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs. I chose to make this into a birthday card, but there are some really nice sentiments in the set that would make it suitable for a “hello” card as well. My card also has what I’m calling a mini flip slider mechanism which is quite simple to make, and there are no dies required. I had the thought - “What’s better than one smiling bear on a card?” Well, that would be four smiling bears on a card!! And so the mini flip slider came into play.  :)  

I’ve got a video for you of how I made the flip slider so if you would like to see how I created it, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

I borrowed that little bunny and his presents from the GSD “Birthday Bear” stamp set as I thought he would go so well with this bear.  The banner is from Whimsy Stamps and is called the Slimline Bunting Banner die set. I’ve listed the copic markers I used down below. Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you’re having a great day! 

Copic markers used:

Light Brown Bear - E35, E34, E53, E51  Sign - BV04, BV02, BV01

Dark Brown Bear - E59, E57, E23, E31 Sign - G94, G82, G20

Black Bear - N6, N4, N2, N0 Sign - BG 72, B52, BG000

Grey Bear - W7, W5, W3, W1 Sign - YR21, YR31, YR20

Bunny - W1, W2, W3, E40, R00, R20

Hello Sunshine

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

I love that this little bear is carrying a sign so I wanted to use him to create a full sentiment. To optimize the size, I opted for a slimline panel. By using a longer card size, I was able to fit five of these cuties to create the word "HAPPY". 

By coloring them up in rainbow colors, it brings such a happy vibe to this card. I used a few alphabet dies to create my custom sentiment as well as adding some strips of black cardstock for interest. 

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

Bee happy....!!

 Hey friends....

It's Ashlee here and I have a new card to share with you using the super fun stamp set "Happy bee day"....

I just love this stamp set, it would have to be one of my favourites!!

To create this card I started with a base of watercolour cardstock and ink blended down the piece using some Catherine Pooler inks.... 

For a fun effect I gave it a splatter of Midnight ink mixed with a little water!!

I then stamped some of the beautiful flowers from the Happy bee day set directly onto the card base with some tuxedo black ink....

I coloured up the bee, cut it out with my brother scan n cut machine and then added it to the base with some foam dots for dimension!!

This bee worked perfectly with the sending smiles sentiment die from SSS...

My favourite touch to finish off a card is sequins so of course I added a mix of blingy gold tones!!

I hope you enjoy this new card and feel inspired to colour up this stamp set by Gerda...

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee 

Fun project for Valentine's Day by Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends, Noga here and I am so happy to share with you a fun project for Gerda Steiner Designs today.

 

My project featuring the adorable On the Bookshelf 4x6 Clear Stamp Set and On the Bookshelf 4x6 Die Set . 

To make this tag I took a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and cut a scallop tag.

The background was created by blending candied apple distress oxide ink.

I stamped the greeting from Valentine Cats 4x6 Clear Stamp Set and heat embossed it with white powder on a banner.

Next I colored the cute image using copic markers and  glued it to my tag.

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

Shaking up Some Positivi-Tea

Hi everyone and welcome!  It’s Karen here today and I’ve got a shaker card for you that features the new Gerda Steiner Designs stamp set called Positivi-Tea.  This is such a sweet stamp set and makes such an uplifting card that can be sent to anyone during these difficult times when we’re all trying to stay healthy and sane. 

This is the front of the card and as you can see, it’s got a shaker element to it. I’ve die cut the shaker frame several times from a Sunny Studios Frilly Frames Herringbone die, but any frame die would work here. I backed it with a purple pearl cardstock and filled it with some coordinating shaker elements. Since I wanted to have a fun inside element, I’ve only added the sentiment and this sweet bear to the front of the card. I coloured him with alcohol markers (listed below), and mounted him just at the side of the card. I white heat embossed the hearts on the cup and teapot from a small heart stamp I found in my stash. 

So for the inside fun, I’ve added the little mouse with his tea set, complete with a used tea bag! I coloured and fussy cut them out before adding them to the card.  I love that inside sentiment and I think it’s just such a nice, inspiring message to send anyone. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great day! 

Alcohol markers used:

Bear - Spectrum Noir in BG 7, BG 5, BG3. Copic markers in C1, C0, R00

Mouse - Copic C2, C1, C0, R00

Tea Set - Copic B66, B63

Tea Bag - Copic E25, E31, E53, Colourless blender 0. 

Valentine penguins - 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. For this week I have made a valentines card with the clear stampset Valentine penguins from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped 2 penguins with Versafine clair nocturne ink on Florence watercolour paper smooth from Vaessen creative. I have embossed the image with clear embossingpowder and then I coloured them with my Distress inks. The balloon and the envelope are also coloured with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen. All the images are fussy cut.

I have made a slimline card with the new die-set Slimline frames craftables (CR1537) from Marianne design. I have cut the scalloped layer twice from pink cardstock and made a card. The layer with the stitching is cut from white cardstock and I made my background on it with the Mini cloud edges stencil from My favorite things and Card deco essential dye ink Light blue. With the Grassy hills die-namics from My favorite things I have die-cut a grass border from white cardstock and I have coloured it with  Card deco essential dye ink Olive green. After I glued the grass on the background I have wrapped white embroidery thread around the grass and tied it into a bow. I have glued the background on the pink scalloped card. In the right upper corner I have stamped sentiment from the clearset Valentine penguins from Gerda Steiner designs and then I glued the penguins with foamtape on the card. I have decorated the card with crystal hotfix gems.

Positivi-tea

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Positivi-tea. 

There are quite a few images in this set but I thought it was perfect to create a little three scene set with a slimline panel since there's so much more card real estate. I decided to divide up the space into three areas by using inks and stencils to differentiate them. 

I thought it'd be fun to include some paper piecing as well. So for the cups of tea as well as the kettle, I stamped the images on patterned paper and fussy cut them out. I thought it was a great added detail. To give it a bit of dimension, I also added some similar copic colors to enhance shadowing. 

These images just make fo such a cute card. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting!
