Merry Christmas 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 new adorable "Bearry merry christmas" stamp set that is going to be release TOMORROW!

This set is perfect for your Christmas cards.

To make this card I took an A2 panel of plaid cardstock. 

For the background, I die cut a rectangle panel die out of white cardstock. 

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 set using black ink.

For a final touch, I added a brown twine.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Noga

Shake your way into a NEW RELEASE SNEAK PEEK!

 Greetings everyone! It's me again, Jessie Scott (@chevy.scott on IG) here to share a SNEAK PEEK of another fun holiday set coming out next month! 

This card uses adorable critters from the new "Woodland Holiday Friends" (and cutie from the other new "Caroling Woodland Animals" set as well). 

I love shaker cards for Christmas! Its like shaking a present haha!

I cut the bunny from the large tree combined focal image so I had 3 critters from this "Woodland Holiday Friends" set, then grabbed the super cute mouse from the "Caroling Woodland Animals". I colored these cuties with my OLO Markers.

The only thing that's left is to emboss the fun "Holiday Hugs" sentiment and then assemble! I had some cute mini sequins and microbeads I was saving for a fun Christmas shaker. The frame is from Lawn Fawn, great for shakers with a nice focal sentiment, and so is the background paper.

Here's a video of the rest of the process!

 

 

Keep an eye out for the release!

See you again soon!

Merry Christmas from the WHOLE GANG!!

 Santa and his friends are preparing for a very Merry Christmas in Gerda's Woodland Holiday Friends stamp set.  And Santa is getting his list ready, but as you can see, he hasn't started it yet, so there is still time to be good and avoid getting that lump of coal in your stocking!!

For this one I created a shadow box that can be attached to an A2 card or given as is, with messaging on the back.  I didn't have a die for this, so using 80 lb cardstock, I cut the following pieces and assembled them together:

1-5 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 1/4" and 1 1/4 on one side"

2-5 1/2" x 1 1/2" scored at 1/4" on each side of 1 1/2" width

3-4 3/4" x 1" scored at 1/4" on each side (this will be the support bar inside the shadow box to attach the characters to).  Whatever cardstock is used to paper the back of the assembled shadow box, use the same to cover this piece to help it blend in with the background.

After I had assembled the 3 sides of the shadow box, I die cut and attached a Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries backdrop, completing the shadow box.

I fussy cut the image and colored all of the characters with copics.
