Sending Hugs

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Sending Hugs. I wanted to use a winter set since it's still winter and in my area, it's been pretty cold. These images are super cute in this set and I thought it would be perfect to kick off the new year with this duo.

Along with the new year, the Pantone colors of the year are yellow and grey so I thought I'd pay a tribute to it. Using a hexagon die, I cut out a bunch of grey hexagons to place on a piece of yellow cardstock. I just kept the pattern very simple for this background. Once I was done, I trimmed it down by a quarter of an inch so I could mat it on kraft cardstock. 

I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock strip so it would really pop and then I popped up the image I colored using copic markers by using foam tape. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

Happy Valentine's Day by Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends,  Noga  here and I am so happy to share with you another project 

   for Gerda Steiner Designs today 

My card and  featuring the sweet Valentine yCats 4x6 Clear Stamp Set and Valentine Cats - Coordinating Dies.

How cute is this cat??

I also used the  hearts from Lovely Pandas 4x6 Clear Stamp Set.

To make this card I took a piece of bristol smooth cardstock and cut a slimline card.

The background was created by blended barn door distress oxide ink.

Next I colored the cute images using copic markers and glued them to my panel with foam tape for dimension.

Next I stamped a greeting from the stamp set using black ink.

To finish off, I added some clear heart sequins for decoration.

I hope you enjoy the card I created and feel inspired to create!

Thanks for stopping by,

Noga

Ice skating mouse (digital stamp) - 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 and this time I have made a card with the digital stamp Ice skating mouse from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have coloured the heart on the sweater with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen and then I have applied Glossy accents on the heart and the nose from the mouse. I have fussy cut the image.

On a white card I have used washi tape to cover the edges of the card. Then I have drawn a background for my image with a pencil on the card. When I was satisfied how it turned out, I used a black fineliner to draw over the pencil lines and then I erased all the pencil lines. I have coloured the background with my Polychromos pencils. On the trees I applies snow with Fluffy stuff from Cosmic shimmer. I used a white gelpen to draw some more snow in the scene. I have coloured the ice with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen. I am not totally satisfied, but for a first try it is ok and I will practice some more on it. I did enjoy making my own background. :) I have glued the image with foamtape on the card. I have stamped a sentiment from the set Wintertime clear stamp from CC. Designs on the card.
