Hoppiness is ...... - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is wednesday and it is my turn again to post a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a card with the clear stamp set Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped the bunnies and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have cut all the images with the Hoppiness matching dies from Gerda Steiner designs. 

I have cut a frame from kraft cardstock with the Block die rectangle (MFD127) from Nellie Snellen. I have cut the same frame 3 times from black cardstock with the same die. I have glued all the frames on top of each other and then I glued them on black cardstock and then I glued everything on a white card. I have cut the same frame from white cardstock and I used the inner part of this frame. I have coloured those rectangles and squares with Picked raspberry, Dried marigold, Spiced marmelade, Carved pumpkin, Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Twisted citron, Mowed lawn and Mermaid lagoon Distress ink and then I glued them all inside the frame. I used foamtape to glue all the images on the card. I added 3 puffy heart stickers and decorated the card also with black hotfix gems.

The sentiment is also from the stamp set Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs. I have stamped it with Versafine clair nocturne ink and then I embossed the sentiment with clear embossingpowder.

Hoppiness Bunnies

Hi and welcome, it’s Karen here today.  It’s starting to feel like an early spring here in my part of Canada and since it’s almost Easter, I couldn’t resist making a card with cute bunnies and Easter eggs. And of course, it needed to have a little surprise factor so I’ve made it a Z fold card. 

I started with a piece of cardstock that measured 4 1/4 x 11” long. I created a mask of hills which I first drew on some computer paper and then traced onto contact paper for masking. I made it so when the card is closed, it looks like one hill in the background. After masking off the sky, I ink blended the hills with Distress Oxide inks in Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.  Then I masked off the hills and used a stencil to create a cloudy sky with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Day Colour Cloud ink.  After the ink was dry, I creased this background at 2 3/4” and 5 1/2”.  The card folds over like a regular card at the 5 1/2” mark (a valley fold), but then folds back on itself at the 2 3/4” mark (a mountain fold) so the ink blended side is to the front. 

Next, I die cut grass from green cardstock (three layers for each half of the card).  On the left side, if you crease the grass layers at the 2 3/4” mark, it will help prevent the paper from tearing when the card is folded.  I diecut the tree using coloured cardstock, with a die from MFT Stamps.

I used Copic markers to colour all the images from the “Hoppiness” stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs but couldn’t fit one of the bunnies on in the end. I also stamped and coloured two fence sections and two butterflies.

The eggs were made from some scrap pieces of Nuvo Shimmer Powder painted cardstock, and I added some Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Sparkle Paste in Gold and Frosty to a few of them before cutting them out.  I created my own egg shaped templates for the eggs. 

To assemble the card, I placed a small piece of masking tape where the left front of the card folded over to on the right side.  The hidden area of the card is to the left of this mark and over to the first fold on the left. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder on the right side so it would be visible when the card is closed.  To begin assembling, I first glued the tree on the left side.  Next, I glued the fence sections on either side of the card.  Then I started layering the grass rows, and added in eggs and bunnies until I was satisfied with the arrangement.  I kept all the eggs and bunnies in the hidden area, with the exception of the one bunny on the left front. I used glue to attach all the images as I didn’t want any excess bulk from foam tape.  The bunny on the left front is the only one I attached with foam tape.    

Finally, in order to have somewhere to write a message, I attached another A2 card base to the back of the card. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a happy, creative day! 

Hoppiness!

Hi, crafty friends! Its Rebekah with you today!

I love creating a scene! Sometimes they can get quite complicated and then there are some which are super easy! I am going to share a simple scene card with you today using the stamp set Hoppiness Stamp Set from Gerda Steiner!

This scene came to gather so quickly! First, I stamped the little bunny and butterfly. I also made masks for them and placed the masks over the images.

I then stamped the fence. The fence stamp, itself will not go all the way along the card front. I stamped the fence in the middle of the card once and then, looking through the acrylic block which the stamp was on, I could see how to like up the next row of fencing! I continued this until it was across the card!

I used a cloud stencil to color a few puffy clouds with Distress inks and then took the masks off the bunny and butterfly.  I the clored in my images with Copic markers!

I drew in a few tufts of grass along the bottom.of the fence which added a little more color to the card and also disguised that face that I did not stamp perfectly straight!

Easy scene and so much fun!

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Be sure to share with us what you are working on this weekend!

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and this week I created this sweet Shaker Card using the Gerda Steiner Designs Bunny Friends:

• color the Gerda Steiner Designs Bunny Friends with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a damp watercolor brush
• cut out a stitched panel from pink cardstock and add an opening by using the heart from the Avery Elle Geek Love die set
• cut out some grass with the help of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Tree die set and stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Hoppiness set with Altenew Crisp Ink Forest Glades
• place some acetate behind the opening and create a shaker element using double-sided foam adhesive
• fill in the shaker element with little hearts and close it with patterned paper from the My Favorite Things Sweet Stack 6x6 paper pad before adhering all the layers to a white cardbase

Have a lovely day.

Hugs,

On the Table | Pull Up Card

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) here today with a card I made along with a video showing the process for creating this card. Today, I’m featuring Gerda Steiner Designs, On The Table along with the Hoppiness stamp set. 

I created a scene card a couple weeks ago featuring the kitty and the puppy peering over a table at some cookies. While creating that card, I thought about the fence in the Hoppiness set. It's one of my favorite accessory pieces in a stamp set since it is super versatile. It's no different for this card as I used it for the dog to peer into a backyard during a cupcake party. 

The best part of this card is that the two sets work so well together. The only added piece was that I had to draw in the table for the cupcakes to sit but the scene creates itself. 

My original idea behind this card was that the dog would pop up peering over the fence and to create this I needed to mask off the dog so that I have just his two paws over the fence as well as stamping out the dog and drawing in the rest of his face without the paws. 

If you are curious about how I created it, I'm including the video link. You'll see that I encounter some issues creating the slider channel for the pull up card but I was able to figure it out. With any card, there are some challenges, but you can normally figure a way to fix it. 

When the recipient pulls up the card, the doggie pops up. I also really love that I added the bunny popping out from the ground in the scene as well. It adds a little something extra to it.  

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon! 

Go wild! - Larissa

Goodmorning! Today it is my turn again to post a new card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a large birthday card and I used 3 stampset from Gerda Steiner on it.

From the set Go wild from Gerda Steiner designs I have used the images of the giraffe, elephant and the vulture. I used all animals from the stampset Party animals from Gerda Steiner designs. They are the lion, crocodile, ostrich, gorilla and the rhinoceros. From the stampset Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs I only used the image of the little bird. I stamped all images on masking paper and the I have fussy cut them all. With the help of the masks I stamped all the animals on the white cardstock. Then I ahev coloured all the images with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have put the masks back again on all the animals and started on the background. With the Mini cloud edges stencil from My favorite things and Broken china distress ink I made some clouds in the sky. I have used the Grassy edges stencil from My favorite things and Mowed lawn distress ink to make the grass. I have stamped a sentiment from the set Go wild from Gerda Steiner designs on the card. Then I pierced little holes in the image panel and added stitching with white embroidery thread. I glued the panel with foamtape on a kraft 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

Hoppiness little valentine notes - Larissa

Goodmorning, I am Larissa from Car-D-elicious and  today I am posting a new project on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs.

I made 4 tiny cards, that you can use to let someone know that you are thinking about him/her. The front of the card is 6,5 by 6,5 cm, so really tiny.

I have made the cards with a couple of images from the stampset Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs. I stamped 4 different bunnies and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have die-cut the bunnies with the Hoppiness die-set from Gerda Steiner designs. I have cut 4 little cards from white cardstock.With the Crea-nest-lies XXL 50 from Crealies I have die-cut 4 sqaures from pink and purple design paper from the Graphic grid pastels paperpad from My favorite things. With a Heart die set I have cut hearts out of those squares. I adhered the design paper with foamtape on the fronts of the cards and then I adhered the bunnies with foamtape inside the holes. I tried to make each card a bit different.

On some of the cards the sentiment was too big for the front of the card, so I decided to stamp it on the inside of the card.

These sentiments are also from the stampset Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs. I also added some die-cut hearts.

Hippo & Friends - Jeannie Lieu (InsideoutJeans)

Hello all! I'm back with a compilation of some of my favorite stamp sets (Moody Unicorn, Hippo with Butterly, Hoppiness). The best thing about GSD stamps is that they work well together and you can easily mix and match.

Since the main card is focused on the different animals, I wanted to use a background that was colorful and fun. I've been really enjoying playing with distress oxide inks lately. Even though I don't have many of them, I love how I was able to use three of them (Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Fossilized Amber) to create six different colors, essentially the rainbow! I sprinkled a bit of water and picked it up with a paper towel. And if that wasn't enough, I wanted to add a little pizzazz so I used the gold color from the Finetec watercolor palette and sprinkled it over the background. It's a bit hard to pick up in the pictures but you can see how subtly pretty it makes the background. I'm in love! 

I really loved how this card turned out and I hope you all enjoyed it too. Have a great day!!! 

Hoppiness Card - Jeannie Lieu (InsideoutJeans)

Hello Everyone! 

My name is Jeannie from InsideoutJeans. I have quickly fallen in love with Gerda Steiner stamps every since spotting the Moody Unicorns on Instagram. 

I’m here today to feature a set that I’m currently loving right now, Hoppiness. I really love making interactive cards and here’s one that was in my mind before I even got hands on this set. 

I wanted an unexpected, hidden surprise for someone receiving this card and the fence stamp that comes in this set works perfectly for this! 

The peeking bunnies allow me to have a hidden bunny peeking behind the opening fence. All you need to do is open the fence and you'll see his curious face staring at the bird!

Hope you all enjoy this fun, spring card!

Larissa - Hoppiness

Hello everyone, I am Larissa from the blog Car-d-elicious and today is my second time guestdesigning for Gerda Steiner designs. I got the set Hoppiness from Gerda to make some cards with. This time I decided to use the cute bird instead of one of the bunnies on the set.

This funny bird is from the set Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs. I stamped the bird 6 times and then I colouored them with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have cut 6 circles out of a piece of kraft cardstock with the Stans X-tra no. 7 die from Crealies. I adhered the kraft cardstock with foamtape on black cardstock and then I adhered the birds inside the circles. The sentiment is from the set Happy hoppy from Gerda Steiner designs. With a black fineliner I doodled a line on the kraft cardstock. On a kraft card I adhered a stripf of rainbow striped design paper from the Sweet celebrations paperpack from My favorite things and then I adhered the cardstock with the images on my card.

Thanks Gerda and Macy for asking me as a guestdesigner! I had so much fun. :)

Larissa - Hoppiness

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elcious. Today I am posting a card because I was asked to be a guest designer at Gerda Steiner designs. Gerda draws very lovely stamps, so I was really happy that they asked me to be a guest designer this (and next) week.

The cute stampset Hoppiness from Gerda Steiner designs was send to me to make my cards. It is a really fabulous set with all kinds of lovely bunnies. I immediately knew that I wanted to make a card with a couple of cut out circles. I stamped 3 different bunnies from the set and then I coloured them all with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen and then I fussy cut them all. I have cut 3 circles out of a piece of white cardstock with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 33 from Crealies. With a black pen I added faux stitching on the white cardstock. On a white card I adhered purple gingham paper from the Tiny check paperpad from My favorite things and then I adhered the white cardstock with the circles with foamtape on the card. I adhered the bunnies with foamtape inside the circles. I decorated the card with Sparkling clear sequins 4 mm from Pretty pink posh.

I stamped the little bunny 14 times for this card. I coloured the bunnies with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and the white gelpen and then I fussy cut all the images. With the Crea-nest-lies XXL 49 and 50 from Crealies I first cut a square from white cardstock and then I cut a circle out of it. On a white card I adhered a piece of pink gingham paper from the Tiny check brights paperpad from My favorite things and then I adhered the white square with foamtape on the card. Inside the circle I stamped a sentiment from the set and then I adhered all the bunnies with foamtape inside the circle. I decorated the card with Sparkling clear sequins 4 mm from Pretty pink posh.

I had 2 bunnies left over and those I adhered on the inside of the card on a strip of pink gingham design paper. I stamped the sentiment another time on the design paper.
