Video Tutorial: Penguin Action Wobbler

Hi everyone!  Happy Thursday!  Allison Cope here!



Today we’re going to be creating a fun wobbler card featuring the adorable “Penguin with Heart” digital stamp image. Since Valentine’s Day is 4 weeks away, I needed to get a jump on making some cute cards to send to my friends and family.  But of course, this image would be totally adorable on a birthday card or simply a “just because” type card too!

Penguin Valentine Card with Karla


Hello friends! It's Karla back today with a sweet Valentine card for a friend using the Penguin With Heart digital stamp. One of the great things about digi stamps is the ability to easily and quickly resize, creating a cute little friend for this guy! Another bonus is instant gratification - click and print! I decided to create an easy z-fold card that looks like it's super fancy 😉 I added patterned valentine papers from my stash and a diecut heart before layering on this sweet little pair coloured with Prismacolor and Copic Markers.


Here are the instructions to make the base: Cut a rectangle 4"x12" long and score it at 4" and 8" and fold it back and forth. Cut a diagonal line from the 4" fold at the back to a mark 2" down on the front of the card. 

Along the bottom of the card and inside I used sentiments from the Gerda Steiner Designs Valentine Penguins Clear Stamp Set. I love combining stamp sets!! I used a stamp set from my stash to add a little love message inside the penguins' hearts. 


The stamped hearts are from the GSD clear stamp set as well, and I added a few more sequins and some washi to complete my card. This is going to be a great card to pass along to a special friend!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop to see what fun stamps make your heart beat faster!! Have an awesome week friends 💕

Hugs, Karla

Who's thinking about you! - Larissa


Goodmorning, today I am posting a new card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I made a valentines card and that is why I used a lot of hearts and pink (but you probably already saw that ;) ).


I have used one of the cute owls from the set Owl rather be with you from Gerda Steiner designs on my card. After I stamped the owl, I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. With a white gelpen I have added a couple of dots on the cheek of the owl. Then I have fussy cut the image.
With the Square CDECD0022 Cutting dies from Card deco essentials I have die-cut a square from white cardstock. I added faux stitching with a black pen. From a couple of sheets from the Classic gingham, Striped silly and Polka dot parade paperpack from Sunny studio I have die-cut a couple of little hearts with the Heart CDECD0024 Cutting dies from Card deco essentials. I have stitched the hearts with embroidery thread on the white sqaure and then I glued the square with foamtape on a white card. I have die-cut a bigger heart with the Heart CDECD0024 Cutting dies from Card deco essentials from white cardstock. I added more faux stitching on the heart and then I glued the heart with foamtape on my card. I glued the image on the heart. The sentiment is also from the stampset Owl rather be with you from Gerda Steiner designs.
