Frog Bookmark

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and I created this fun bookmark using the Gerda Steiner Designs Frogs stamp set:

  • stamp the peeking frog from the Gerda Steiner Designs Frog set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black at the top of a sturdy white paper strip
  • fuzzy cut the frog and adjust the width of the paper strip
  • color the frog with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
  • add color to the bookmark with Distress Ink (Old Paper, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters)
  • stamp the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Bedtime Story set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
  • ink up the edges with Distress Ink Black Soot


Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Is it tea you're looking for? 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 featuring the adorable Positivi-Tea 4x6 Clear Stamp Set stamp set. How cute is this bear??

To make this card I took an A2 panel of Bristol smooth cardstock. 
For the background, I die cut the Double Stitch Window die out of white cardstock. 
Behind it, I ink blended a background using Distress Oxide in squeezed lemonade, splashed it with water and white acrylic paint and glued it behind the window cover panel with foam tape.

Next I colored the sweet image using copic markers. I glued it to my panel with foam tape for dimension.

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

For a final touch, I added some yellow sequins.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Scene Card: Positivi-Tea

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Positivi-Tea


I wanted to create a fun scene card for the critters in this stamp set while also playing with the sizes of them. The little mouse is obviously much smaller than a bear in real life. I placed the mouse up front so it would look closer while the bear was a little further back. Although, it doesn't mimic reality, it still creates for a very cute scene. 




I drew a table for the items to sit on as well as a window on the wall behind them. The scene is created by using some simple lines, which I do often because it's so fun!


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