Puppy Mail for You

Hello everyone, it’s Karen here today. I wanted to make a happy mail card using the new “Puppy Mail” stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I love to get happy mail (especially when it’s crafting supplies!), but a fun or loving note from someone is equally as good to receive and this stamp set is perfect for those cards.

Inside the card

I coloured my images with copic markers and added a few extra envelopes. I drew my envelopes but you could easily stamp the mailbox stamp again and use a few from the mail pile already on the stamp.

I then made a stencil from a “Bright Hearts” Memory Box die I had just received - in some happy mail! - and ink blended the hearts in Distress Oxide Worn Lipstick in the center of my card. Then I applied some Moonstone glimmer paste over this and let it all dry. Once it was dry I glued my puppy mail box image over the stencilled area and added a few extra envelopes to fill in the gaps. I stamped the sentiment just below my scene and the card front was done! 

I love it when there’s a little something extra on a card, so on the inside, I added the two puppy images. I stamped the “I woof you” sentiment on some white cardstock, and die cut it with a speech bubble die I had in my stash (I had to do a little partial die cutting to make it fit around the words).  I ran a black marker around the edges to highlight the speech bubble, and then glued it onto the inside of my card. This was a quick and simple card to make, and it’s just so nice to have some stamps in your supplies that can make a great “thinking of you” type of card. I hope you’ll give this card a try!

Guess What is coming to the Shop? It's Sneaky!!



Hello and Happy Friday Crafty Friends!  Tina here with some exiting news!!  Today I get to share a Sneak Peek at a New stamp set coming soon to the shop:)  This set will be available at the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop next week, so keep a look out:)  My project is a sweet Hello & Hi card with the.....drum roll please...... Sneaky Raccoons Stamp Set by Gerda Steiner Designs.  Isn't it just the cutest!!  I just love these adorable sneaky critters, the fun scenes they can create and love that the sentiments are customizable too:) 


I highlighted both the hello and hi sentiment by using gold embossing powder on the wood sign and the background panel.  I added a splash of color by doing some ink blending. I used 3 oxide inks in the colors worn lipstick, scattered straw and cracked pistachio.  I added a frame around the sweet raccoon with a bit of foam tape of course:)  I just love how it turned out and hope you do to!
