Unicorn Birthday Greetings

Hello, it’s Karen here again! I hope everyone is having a great summer and the weather is good where you are. I’m finding it hard to be indoors at the moment as we are in the middle of a record breaking heat wave and it’s so nice to be outside. So the card I’m sharing today was really quite a quick and easy one but with lots of attitude because of these super fun Moody Unicorns from Gerda Steiner Designs. 

My card is a 3 3/4” x 8 1/2” slimline card.  I die cut three 2 3/4” circles from white cardstock as well as a frame for them, which I stacked two layers high. I used the Paper Rose Layering Rainbow stencil to add the rainbow, clouds and sun inside the circles, using Distress Oxide inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry. Tonic Moonstone Glimmer paste added that extra sparkle to some of the elements. I also die cut some extra ink blended clouds to add around the circles. 

After stamping out the unicorn images, I coloured them in with copic markers (RV04, Y38, Y08, YG01, BG02, B66, V05, C2, C1, C0, N6, N4, R20, R00). I also stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiments and then either die cut them out or fussy cut them. I love how sassy these unicorns are, and I’ve used those sentiments on lots of other cards. 

Finally, I glued the circles to my card base, popped the unicorns and sentiments up on foam tape and added them along with the few extra clouds I had die cut. 

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

Elephant and bird - Larissa

Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn to post something on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs. This time I have made a  card with the digital stamp Elephant and bird from Gerda Steiner designs. I have coloured the image with my Polychromos pencils, the black glaze pen and a white gelpen. I have fussy cut the image.

With the Crea-nest-lies XXL 43 from Crealies I have cut an oval from red patterned paper from the Surprise party paper pack from Sunny studio. I have cut a rectangle with the Crea-nest-lies XXL 52 from Crealies from paper from the same paper pack. I used the Crea-nest-lies XXL 56 from Crealies to cut a scalloped rectangle from the red patterned paper. I have glued all the parts on a white card. I have added the image on the card with foamtape. With white sticker letters I have added a sentiment (congratulations) on the oval.

Hello my crafty friends...

Ashlee here today with a new slimline card to share with you and this one features the absolutely adorable kitties from the "Valentine cats" stamp set by "Gerda Steiner Designs"!!

I thought it would be fun to do a whole base of colourful stripes peeking out from behind the love heart panel....

I then popped up the cats with some foam tape sitting them both in front of a heart!!

(The cats were both coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers)

I added a couple of lovey sentiments and finished it all off with a touch of "Catherine Pooler" sequins from the Williamsburg mix!!

I love how this card came out, what do you think? I hope you enjoy it and feel inspired to get crafty and create your own slimline card... they are so fun!!

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee
