A Merry Christmas Day

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and for this Christmas Card I used one of my all-time favorites - the Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends stamp set:

• stamp two of the snowmen from the Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends set with Distress Ink Iced Spruce - use the masking technique
• color the images and the background with watercolors
• add little white dots with white gouache
• add a sticker from the Tim Holtz Clippings Christmas set
• before adhering the watercolor panel to a cardbase add strips of patterned paper to the top and bottom

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Meowy Christmas 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 tag featuring the adorable Christmas Kitten 4x6 Clear Stamp Set.

How cute is this set??

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

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

I also added some snowflakes using stencil and a paper glaze.

Than I colored the sweet critter using copic markers and glued it to my panel using  foam tape.

Next I stamped a greeting from this set using black ink.

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

Feline Christmas Card

Hello everyone, it's Karen here today.   I've got a Christmas card to share with you using the new "Furry and Bright" stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs.

 

I stamped the Furry and Bright cat image first onto Neenah Solar Crest 80# cardstock and then masked the two lights that are on the right side. Then I positioned and stamped the cat from the "All Cats" stamp set just to the right of the first cat.  I used Copic markers to colour them in and then fussy cut them out, and mounted them on double sided foam tape.  The sentiment was stamped and clear heat embossed onto white cardstock, and after trimming the sentiment down, I cut the tail ends at an angle.  I also mounted the sentiment onto foam tape. 

The background was created with the Detail Bohemian Plate die from Simon Says Stamp. After die cutting it out, I adhered it with glue to the card base.  I then positioned the cats and sentiment on the card, and finally, added a few sequin stars (from a dollar store mix), and also some Glossy Accents on the lights.  I'm pretty sure those cats look like my husband and I every year when we go to put up the lights!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

Happy Fall

Hi there,
