Tea-riffic Mouse Card


Hello friends! Karla back today with an adorable card using the Gerda Steiner Designs Tea-riffic Mouse Digital Stamp. This little mouse is so cute, and this card could be used for so many different occasions - perfect for a little teacher gift too with a gift basket of tea for upcoming end of the school year ideas! I used some Copic Markers to colour in the mouse and the background and then cut out the image with a Sizzix dotted die. I used a pretty floral embossing folder on the pink cardstock - and actually used the negative image on the back! Sometimes just by playing around with your card elements you'll find an idea that works better than you first intended.


I layered on some diecut clouds, twine and sequins and my pretty card is ready to bundle up with some tea or to give to a friend as a happy hello!


Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop to see what gets you creating today! Have an awesome weekend friends. 💙

Hugs,
Karla

Hi There!





Happy Friday! It's Cathy here sharing a card using the brand new Frogs stamps! These have got to be my most favorite frog stamps ever!!

The minute I saw them I knew I had to work with this guy first. He reminds me of the frogs that hang out upside down on our back patio!

Pretty simple design here. I inked the background pieces using Crushed Olive distress ink and splashed a little water on them. I then used a stencil with Peeled Paint distress ink and Tim Holtz texture paste. It's hard to capture in a photo, but the stenciled areas have a wet look to them.

I colored up the frog like an Amazon tree frog for a little different look.

Hope you enjoyed and have a great weekend!

What's on the table - Larissa


Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I am posting a new card on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs.


For today I have made a card with one of the digital stamps from the set What's on the table from Gerda Steiner designs. I printed the flowers pretty large and then I coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils. Then I have fussy cut the image. On a little white card I glued green striped design paper from the Spots & stripes bright paperpack from Sugar pea designs. I doodled some lines on the design paper with a fineliner. I placed the image with foamtape on the card. I have stamped a sentiment (congratulations) from the set Bulletjournal - Tekst diversen from Craft emotions next to the image and then I embossed it with clear embossingpowder.
