Holiday friends - Thinking of you this christmas - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a Christmas slimline card with the clear stamp set Holiday friends from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the images with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have fussy cut the images, but the Holiday friends die set is also available to use if you prefer those. 

I have cut a rectangle from kraft cardstock with the Slimline marquee die (WSD347) from Whimsy stamps. I have glued it on black cardstock and then I glued them together on a kraft slimline card. In the left and right hole I have glued the images with foamtape. In the hole in the middle I have stamped a sentiment from the set Holiday friends van Gerda Steiner designs with Versamark ink and then I embossed it with white embossingpowder. I have die-cut a couple of stars from red and green cardstock with the Star confetti die from Alexandra Renke and I glued those around the images and the sentiment.

A boo to you card with a turning ghost - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post something on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs and this time I have made a mini slimline halloween card with a special effect. I have stamped the funny ghosts from the stamp set A boo to you from Gerda Steiner designs and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have coloured the ghosts also with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen.

The mini slimline card is made with the die set Mini slimline B (CLCZ83) from Crealies. I have made the card from white cardstock. The second layer is cut from black cardstock. The purple patterned paper is from the Classic sunburst paperpad from Sunny studio. I have cut a couple of clouds from white cardstock with the Spooky clouds (retired) from Taylored expressions and I glued those on the purple paper. I added stars that I have cut with the Star confetti die from Alexandra Renke from black cardstock. 

The upper ghost can turn when you pull the white cord and to make this I followed a tutorial (dutch spoken) from Crealies. For the squares and circles for the mechanism I have used the die sets Crea-nest-lies XXL 21 from Crealies and Crea-nest-lies XXL 22 from Crealies. I have added a little clip with my turning ghost more down below in this post. After I glued the ghosts both on the card I have added a sentiment that I have stamped on the card with a sentiment from the set Peekin' pumpkin kitty from Gerda Steiner designs.

A boo for you - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post something on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a halloween slimline card with the clear stamp set A Boo for you from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the images with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen and then I have fussy cut the images.

From white cardstock I have cut a large rectangle with a die from the set Slimline Distressed (CR1569) from Marianne design. I made a spooky background on it with Mustard seed, Carved pumpkin, Crackling campfire and Black soot Distress ink. I have added the grass with the Stencil 20 from Gummiapan. I blended the grass on the card with Versafine clair nocturne ink to make it really black. I have drawn the 2 trees on the background and coloured them with a black permanent marker. I have glued the background on a white slimline card. For the little ghosts I used foamtape to add them on the card. I have stamped a sentiment from the clear stamp set A Boo for you from Gerda Steiner designs on white cardstock and then I have fussy cut all the words and glued them on the card. I have decorated the sky with black star rub-ons.

Decorating penguin - Merry christmas - Larissa

 

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post a card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. Because it is july I decided to make a christmas card for Christmas in july. This way I should have a nice stash of christmas cards ready in december. ;)

I have made a mini slimline card with the digital stamp Decorating penguin from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have coloured the lights with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen and then I coloured them with a Clear glaze pen. I have fussy cut the image. With the Mini slimline Wonky stitched dies from Kat Scrappiness I have die-cut a rectangle from white cardstock. I have glued the rectangle on a rectangle that I have cut from green cardstock. Then I glued the rectangles on a pink mini slimline card. I have stamped a sentiment from the stamp set Simple script from Clearly besotted stamps. I have glued the strip with the sentiment on green cardstock and then I glued them together on the card. I have added the image with foamtape on the card. I cut a couple of stars from pink cardstock with the Star confetti die from Alexandra Renke and then I glued those around the image on the card.

Thanks a Melon Slimline Card

Hello, it’s Karen here again.  I’ve got a watermelon filled card today which just felt right on this hot summer day.  I’ve used the Melon Friends stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs which has to be one of the cutest sets out there.

I stamped the images onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock and then used copic markers to colour them in.   I’ve listed the markers I used down below.  I ended up stamping about three of the dinosaurs and two of the bears.  I used circle dies in different sizes to cut areas out of the images, and just tried to offset where the images were in the circles.  To create the white frames, I used low tack tape to tape together the same circle die used to cut out the image, and a die that was a size smaller.  I cut two of each of these frames, and glued them together before gluing them to the circle image.  I saved the centers of the frames to colour in with copic markers and then added some of these between the circle images.  I diecut the frame from red cardstock using the Trinity Stamps Wonky Stitched Wilderness die set and made it three layers thick.  To assemble the card, I attached the red frame first, then spaced out the images and finally added in the coloured circles and the sentiment.  I popped up the two larger circles on foam tape to allow everything to fit on my card.  Finally, I glued the remaining images to the inside of the card along with the inside sentiment.  

Thank you so much for joining me and I hope you are having a great day!

Copic markers used:

Dinosaur - YG17, YG03, YG01, YG21, YG0000

Bear - R20, E34, E53, E51

Watermelon - R29, R35, YG67, YG01, YG0000
