Happy New Year 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 adorable brand new  Frogs 4x6 Clear Stamp Set  and  Frogs - Froesche - Sapos 4x6 Die Set .
This set available also in German and Spanish version!! This is so amazing!!

To make this card I took an A2 panel of Bristol smooth cardstock. 
For the background, I die cut the double stitch window die out of white cardstock. 
Behind it, I ink blended a background using distress oxide in kitsch flamingo, splashed it with water and clear shimmer spray  and glued it behind the window cover panel with foam tape.

than I created a shaker  and filled it with sequins.

Next I colored the adorable image using copic markers and glued it to my panel.

To finish of  I stamped a greeting from Holiday Snail 3x4 Clear Stamp Set  using black ink.

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

Happy New Year to all of you!

Noga.

You rock....!!

 Hey everyone...

Ash here and I'm stopping in with my last card for 2021, I hope you all have an amazing new year coming up!!

Today I'm using a stamp set that will be coming out in an upcoming release at Gerda Steiner designs and it is oh so cool, here's a sneaky peek at it....


I created a fun inked background using Catherine Pooler inks on a teal/blue coloured cardstock base and splattered with Canary watercolour from Shimmer drops paint....



I then created a scene by adding some die cut grass and adding all the images that I coloured in with alcohol markers with different levels of foam tape for dimension....

The card was finished off with a "YOU ROCK" sentiment which is perfect for those cute images!!

I hope you enjoy this rockin card, I just love this new stamp set and I'm sure you will too so keep your eye out for its arrival here - GSD

Happy new year everyone, hugs Ashlee

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.

Thinking of you this Christmas....!!

 Hey everyone....

Ashlee here with you today, I hope you have all been having a wonderful Christmas!!

I can't believe celebrations are done and we are heading very soon into a new year, the time just goes way too quickly!!

Keeping with the festive season I am sharing a mini slimline card I made featuring the gorgeous angel from the Holiday friends stamp set....



I used a die cut set from Pinkfresh studio to do all of the mini slimline card base and added a little yellow ink to create a nice glow for the angel....

I coloured in the angel using Parkoo shop alcohol markers and fussy cut her out before propping her in the middle of the die cut circle with some foam tape to add extra dimension before finishing off the entire card with a touch of shiny sequins!!

I hope you enjoy this mini card as much as I enjoy creating them...

Merry Christmas and hugs Ashlee

Happy 2022

Hi, Margreet here.

I have worked with the Freebie which was behind Door 1 of Gerda's Advent calendar.
Here you can still grab it.
Every day a door will be opened and there are great prizes to be won.

I printed out the digi in a rather large size to fit the slimline die.
Then I coloured with copics.
I cut a dark red background with a slimline die from Carlijn Design.
For the second die with curves I used DP with little stars in various colours.
I glued all layers.
At the fur parts of the hats I put some Snow Effect. At the stars of the garland I glued 'golden' sequins.
The letters Happy are made with Typewriter Keys stamps and I coloured them in the same colours.
I hope that I have given you some inspiration to create with this cute digi.
xxx Margreet
