Easter Kitten

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design’s stamp set named, Easter Kitten. This was a freebie at the beginning of the month with purchase, did you snag one up?  

I wanted to share an idea with you for a super simple but fun card, where you don't even need to color up the image. I stamped the Easter Kitten right in the middle of an A2 card. All the color comes from the background, which I used copic markers to add a rainbow paint splash right behind the image. 

I also wanted to ground the image, so I used a cool gray to blend out a ground right underneath the kitten's basket. To finish off the card, I stamped the "hello" sentiment under the basket. It's a very simple card but I love it. 

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

Bug me anytime 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  Ladybugs - 4x6 Clear Stamp and Ladybugs - Dies.

This set is must have!!

To make this card I die cut an oval window die out of white cardstock. 

I ink blended the background on Bristol smooth cardstock using kitsch flamingo distress oxide ink  and splashed it with water and glued it under the white window cover.

Next I colored the sweet images using copic markers and  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 pink sequins.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Noga

You’ve Got Happy Mail!

Hello and welcome back, it’s Karen here today.  I've got a card today that features the Owl My Love and Happy Fall stamp sets from Gerda Steiner Designs, because who doesn't love happy mail?!  Here's a picture of my card.

I used Copic markers to colour in all the images and then fussy cut them out.  I die cut 4 of the wooden frames from a Hero Arts die called Wood Frame.  I used some Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to ink blend on the top frame, and then glued the layers together.

From the inside section of one of the frames, I inked up a grassy green colour, spritzed it with water and blotted up some of the ink with a paper towel.  Once it was dry, I freestyle cut a grassy hill.  

On the card front, I stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment (which is from the Owl My Love set) below where the frame would sit. Next, I masked off the area outside where the frame would go, and used a cloud stencil (Cloud Edger  from Colorful Life Designs) to create the sky.  I then glued the frame around the inked area.  And finally, I adhered the images with glue and foam tape as needed.  I love that squirrel that is jumping for joy!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great day.
