Caring Bears Card Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone!  Allison Cope here with a fun new card making and coloring tutorial for you!

Today I thought I would create with all kinds of the Gerda Steiner Designs bear images. There’s nothing sweeter that a tiny fuzzy bear to gawk at!

For my card project I used the following digital stamp images:

• Birthday Bear 
• You Are Beary Sweet
• Have a ‘Beary’ Sweet Day
• November/December 2016 Digital Stamp Bundle

Now come and join me at my crafty desk and we’ll create with these four adorable fuzzy bears today…

After all the fussy cutting, coloring and gluing, here is our final card…

And as a final finishing touch, I also added some Glossy Accents to their eyes and noses.

Gerda Steiner Design - I Just Miss You Stamp Tutorial

I just miss you...

...A LOT!! I totally fell in love with this stamp set the second I saw it! I knew right away this was going to be a card for my son from our Great Dane Maggie!

The name of this set is I Just Miss You A Lot and it will be in the Gerda Steiner store soon! Keep an eye out for it, all you dog lovers! It's just too cute!!

First I stamped and only colored the adorable pup in the image with Copic markers. I knew I wanted to paper piece the dog bed so there was no reason to color it.

I stamped the image again onto a piece of pattern paper and then added some shadows and dimension with Copic markers.

I fussy cut the images out and attached them to the background circle with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment onto light green cardstock using an ink a few shades darker then the paper. I added it just under my image and then it was done! Oh...and I added a few hearts above the puppy dogs head!

Super fun to color and such an easy card to make!

Miss You Puppy Card by Karla

Hello friends! Karla back today with a cute Missing You card using the adorable new digital image 'Miss You Puppy' from the Gerda Steiner Designs shop. This little cutie could work equally well for a thank you, love you or pup-tastic birthday card, but I chose a miss you brush lettering sentiment stamp from my stash to add on top of the Pinkfresh Indigo Hills patterned paper, embossed with Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Embossing Powder in Dragon's Egg. The subtle striped heart is diecut with a MFT die, which I used inside a stitched circle and layered over a pretty white doily.

It was easy to give this little guy a pretty patterned bed by simply printing out an extra digi stamp on another piece of white copy paper and then gluing the purple patterned paper directly on top of the image. I then ran the whole page through the printer again and fussy cut out around the bed before gluing it down to the image printed on cardstock. I coloured this guy in with Copics and Prismacolor Markers and shaded the patterned paper to give a bit of depth. A white gel pen adds some highlights, and I added some Paige Evans stickers and Maya Road twine for embellishments.

Inside, I stamped a heartfelt sentiment on my kraft cardstock base with Distress Oxide Inks. I just love how they show up on darker cardstocks!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic weekend and a wonderful week ahead 💜 Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop to see what inspires you to create today!

Hugs,

Karla

I Bat You Don't Know.....

Hello And Happy Monday Crafty Friends!  Tina here from Cards & Coffee Time. I have a fun project to share with you using the Bats! Stamp set along with the Coordinating Dies.  I am just bats about the smile faces on these cute critters!!!  You ever see a stamp set and every time you look at it...it makes you smile?  That is what this set does every time:) I created a background with shimmer powders and finished the sentiment on the inside the card along with a few of the bat silhouette images.  I stamped on black card stock but no worries, a white gel pen works perfect for your message.
