Sending his crush with a Christmas Card. Oh no! His crushes mailbox is already quite full!

 Hello everyone.

 

today I have the honor of publishing my very first blog post for Gerda Steiner Design.

I'm from Germany, so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes in my English.

 

So I was very happy to get this cute stamp set called „Seasons Tweetings“ from the new release by GSD.

I had a story in my mind.  The sweet little bird flow all the way jus to put personally  his Christmas mail in his loved one's mailbox. As a little surprisefor her.. Hmm....but there are already quite a few letters in there. Seems to be popular, the little bird lady.

How I have made this card….

I covered the bird's beak with masking paper so I could stamp a letter into the bird's beak.

 

Then I wiped the sky with Distres Oxides ( Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass) and put some w white sprinkles with acrylic paint on it. Later, wenn the card was finished, I put also some clear Nuvo crystal drops on it.

 

I colored the images with Copics.

 

Santa hat: R39, R29, R27, R24

Bird: BG96, BG93, BG90

Mailbox: T5, T3, T1, T0, E49, E47, E57, YG67

 

Finally, I applied a bit of Glossy Accents to the letter and the mailbox., cut it out (when it has dried) and glued it  all together onto the card.

 

 

Have a crafty day!

Mini Slimline Meowy Christmas Card!

Hey Crafty Friends! 

Sharing a mini slimline today using the seriously adorable Christmas kitties from the Christmas Kitten Clear Stamp Set from Gerda Steiner Designs

This was such a fun card to make. I started with a white mini slimline card base and added a mini deckle slimline die cut in a teal colour. Next on white card stock I die cut a smaller deckle layer and inked up the edges in tumbled glass oxide ink. I stencilled on some Christmas candies with the colour saltwater taffy oxide ink just towards the bottom of the panel. I stamped a few branches and ornaments in black ink then went over top with copics in various shades of green for the branches.

I then wrapped some red and white twine around the top of the white panel and hot glued a wooden button off to the side.

I coloured the kitten with copics and attached to my panel with dimensional tape. I then added that panel on top of the teal one with dimensional tape.

I finished the card by adding red glitter glue to all the ornaments and gluing on some candy cane slices.

Crafty Hugs,

 Hi everyone!

Stacey with you today sharing a super cute Christmas card that I made using the adorable Balancing Mouse stamp set. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I created an A2 cardbase and layered some fun & bright patterned papers from Doodlebug Designs on top. I masked off the largest ornament and stamped it a few times onto a piece of white cardstock so that I could create a row of ornaments. I stamped my little mouse on top of one of the ornaments and then colored my images with Copic markers. I decided to add the smaller ornament that is in the stamp set as well. I stamped a few onto some scrap cardstock, colored them & then fussy cut them out. I placed them in front of the large ornaments before trimming down my image panel. I die cut a red scalloped rectangle and adhered my image to the center. I added some red and white crochet thread to my card before popping up my image with foam tape. I die cut the "JOY" from red glitter cardstock and added that as well as some red enamel dots to finish off my card. So super cute!

Copic Colors Used:

--Mouse: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, R00, R20

--Hat: R24, R27, R29, R39, C00, C0

--Red Ornaments: R24, R27, R29

--Yellow Ornament: Y11, Y13, Y15

--Green Ornaments: YG01, YG03, YG05

--Blue Ornaments: BG53, BG57
