Hippo in disguise - Larissa

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a card that I am also posting on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. I have made a birthdaycard for my little nephew Menno who celebrated his 8th birthday yesterday.

On the card I used the clear stamp Hippo in disguise from Gerda Steiner designs. I stamped the hippo as a super hero and then I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have then fussy cut the image. I have diecut a large square from white cardstock with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 34 from Crealies and then I glued it on a red card. Then I have diecut a couple of circle with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 33 from Crealies from red and blue cardstock and also from yellow striped patterned paper from the Striped silly paperpack from Sunny studio. I also cut a strip from the blue cardstock. I glued everything on my card. Then I have diecut a couple of stars from the yellow striped paper with the Star confetti die from Alexandra Renke and glued those on the card. I stamped the sentiment (congratulations) from the set Gefeliciteerd from Carlijn design on a piece of red cardstock and then I have diecut the sentiment with the Snijmallen gefeliciteerd from Carlijn design and glued it on my card. I have diecut a little banner from red cardstock with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 59 from Crealies. I used the tiny attacher from Tim Holtz to attach the banner onto my card. I have diecut a number 8 with the Klassiskt alfabet D181201 from Gummiapan from the yellow striped patterned paper.

Happy halloween - Larissa

Hello, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a card on my own blog, but also on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. I have made a halloween card with the stampset Hippo in disguise from Gerda Steiner designs. This is a really versatile stampset, because you can turn the hippo into a dracula, like I did today, but you can also turn him into a superman, like I did here.

So this time I turned Hippo in disguise from Gerda Steiner designs into a dracula. I have coloured the hippo with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen and then I have fissy cut the image. On a piece of red cardstock I glued a piece of deign paper from the Do what you love pretty paper bloc from Marianne design and then I glued it on a card. On a strip of red cardstock I stamped a sentiment from the set The wizard, the witch and the cauldron from Stamping Bella and then I embossed it with clear embossingpowder. I glued the strip with foamtape on the card and then I adhered the image also with foamtape on the card.

Hippo with Butterfly | You Were on My Mind | Scrapbena Creations

Hello my name is Jenn. Some of you may know me from my YouTube channel Scrapbena Creations. I am thrilled to be guest designing for Gerda Steiner Designs. First up, I have a card using the adorable Hippo with Butterfly stamp. The expression on his face gets me every time!

I coloured the images using a combination of copic and spectrum noir alcohol markers. I used greys for the hippo and added a light purple to his undertone for a twist! There was purple in the paper so I thought it would be fun! I coloured the hippo's t-shirt and all of the butterflies in bright colours that matched the paper I used from the Doodlebug Designs Fairy Tales collection.

I stamped the images onto spectrum noir premium cardstock and cut it out using a stitched journal die from Lawn Fawn. To cut out the flower patterned paper, I used a fancy scalloped rectangle die from My Favourite Things. I adhered fun foam on the back of the panel with the hippo to give some dimension to the focal image. For the t-shirt, I added an enamel heart. I then used my spectrum noir glitter overlay pen and glossy accents on the butterflies to make them sparkle and shine! I glittered up the t-shirt as well because you can never have too much glitter!

I used a banner die on paper from the same collection to stamp and heat emboss the sentiment, "You were on my mind." I felt like the hippo could not get that little pink butterfly off his mind as it tickled his nose! You can watch the process video for this card by clicking play on the image below.

I hope you enjoyed this clean and simple card. I look forward to coming back and sharing more card creations using the Gerda Steiner Designs Where is the Candy? stamp set. Have a lovely day and happy crafting!

Hippo with butterfly - Larissa

Goodmorning, I am Larissa from Car_d_elicous and today I am guestdesigning for Gerda Steiner designs again. This time I have received the stamp set Hippo with butterfly from Gerda Steiner designs to make a card with.

I stamped the image with Versafine onyx black ink on watercolur paper and then I embossed it with clear embossingpowder. Then I have coloured the image with my Zig clean colour real brush markers and then I have fussy cut the image. On a white card I adhered a strip of blue check paper from the Tiny check brights paperpack from My favorite things. On a piece of white cardstock I stamped the first part of the sentiment with black ink. Then I adhered a strip of pink cardstock under the white cardstock and then I adhered it with foamtape on the white card. I have die-cut a banner from pink cardstock with the Die-namics tag builder blueprints 5 from My favorite things and stamped the second part of the sentiment on it. After I adhered the image with foamtape on the card I adhered the banner under the image. I have die-cut a couple of hearts from pink cardstock and decorated my card with them.

Hello!!! Hippo - Jeannie Lieu (InsideoutJeans)

Hi everyone! I'm soooo excited to be back on the blog to share my card. I'm even more excited because I'm featuring the new Hippo stamp! It's the hippo on all the GSD packaging.... super cute!

For this card, I created a pull up card with the Hippo peeking over from the fence (from GSD's Hoppiness set) to say hello. 

The card starts out with just a set of eyes peeking over the fence and it's a surprise for the recipient, who won't know who to expect. It also reminds me of Wilson from the show Home Improvement, who is the neighbor who gives out advice, but you never get to see his face. 

It's a cute surprise for anyone so I hope you all enjoyed my card. Can't wait to see what everyone makes with this new stamp! 

Have a wonderful day.
