Penguin Mom & Baby Birthday Card!

Hey there friends! I'm so happy to be back today to share a card I'm showcasing on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog using the super cute Penguin Mom and Baby digital stamp in the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop! I sent this to a friend for her birthday, but I think you could just as easily send out some adorable Mother's Day Cards with these cuties! I actually took the time to send 3 cards out this week, and even though it was a small thing it had a dual purpose - I thoroughly enjoyed making and then it made me happy to do something nice for someone else. I think I'll be sending out a lot more cards while we are all in self-isolation to just connect and bring a little joy to others.

I created a fun fold, which is completely explained on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog, but this is a look at the inside of the card when it's opened up. I simply typed a sentiment on my computer and printed it out before diecutting.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are all doing ok. Be sure to stop by the Blog for details or check out the Shop for a selection of clear and digi stamps. Big hugs 💙

Spring Chicken Card!

Hello friends! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a cute chicken card. This Chick with her Mom will soon be in the Digital Stamp section of the shop, so be sure to watch for it! I decided to make a little Hello card for a friend and printed my own sentiment off of my computer - this stamp would work for so many occasions! I layered this cute pair on a stenciled background using the Fence Stencil from Southern Ridge Trading Company and some Granite Grey Krafty Kolours Ink. I added some sparkly Studio Katia gems to match the pretty gold thread!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog for closeups and details - and check out the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop for both clear and digital stamps! Have a wonderful day!!

Be Mine Valentine!

Hello friends! Valentine's Day is fast approaching  - one of my favourite for cardmaking! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a special Valentine using the Monster Holding Letter digital stamp and the super cute Valentine Bear digital stamp, which is a FREEBIE! right now!!  I recently picked up this sweet Simple Stories Vintage Valentine collection pack, and I just had to colour these guys up to match. To me, Valentines is totally vintage images and I love the look of these papers - with a bit of cuteness thrown in 😉 After all, who can resist adorable creatures bringing gifts?!!

Inside, I added a sentiment from one of the 2x2 squares cut out of the cut apart page and glued on some tiny diecut hearts.

Kitty Bee Designs - #136 Love & Valentines!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #136 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #136

Love & Valentines

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

Beccy's Place

For this week's challenge I decided to use the Love theme to create a wine wrap and gift tag set that could be given as a housewarming gift. I used the cute blue house from the My Neighborhood digital stamp set with the sending love sentiment. This set is full of awesome neighborhood images, and you get the precoloured images along with black and white digis and several sentiments. 

I diecut the preprinted house with a Sizzix oval die and layered it on a tag cut from a Paige Evans paper pad. These cool We R Memory Keepers brads added a neat element to the front.

I used some pretty embellishments from Buttons Galore to add some bling and added a little heart stamp on the door. I was able to colour the 'sending love' portion of the stamp by opening it with the Paint 3D program on my PC and clicking on the colour I wanted. A bit of Distress Oxide Ink around the edge adds some interest.

I was easily able to customize the red and green houses by opening them in Paint 3D as well and simply clicking the colours I wanted. I then saved each individually and printed them out side by side in the word processing program I use. 

I diecut a border around the house label and layered it on some papers from a Paige Evans Pink Paislee Paper Pad cut to fit around the bottle. I used a strip of double sided score tape to secure the wrap in place and added some more pretty bling from the Buttons Galore pack. Now I have a gift ready and waiting to deliver to a friend!

Gerda Steiner Designs - Umbrella Mouse Card!

Hello sweet friends! I just love seeing all the lovely new images available in the Gerda Steiner Designs shop, and today I'm sharing this super cute Umbrella Mouse digi with you. This cutie could be used for many different occasions, but I chose a get well sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps to coordinate with it. I decided to do some paper piecing to give her a trendy umbrella, scarf and jacket - and I'm sharing just how to do that in a little tutorial on the GSD Blog.

Gerda Steiner Designs - Cute Penguin Friend Valentine!

Howdy! I'm am having so much fun creating Valentines, and these two adorable penguins could not have made it any easier!! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs blog today using the super cute Penguin With Heart digital stamp. The great thing about digi stamps of course is being able to resize them quickly and easily, giving this guy a sweet little friend!

I used a z-fold design for this card and stamped the bottom of the card and inside with the Gerda Steiner Designs Valentine Penguins Clear Stamp Set (it's super cute too!) I used a Pretty Cute Stamp for the Be Mine sentiments stamped inside the penguin hearts. I added a few SpiegelMom Scraps sequins (PS use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off your SMS order!) for sparkle and shine.

Here's how to make the z-fold card base:

Cut a rectangle 4"x12" long and score it at 4" and 8" and fold it back and forth. Cut a diagonal line from the 4" fold at the back to a mark 2" down on the front of the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to pop over to the Gerda Steiner Designs blog to get all the details on how I created this fun z-fold card and see the closeups. I hope you have an awesome rest of your week!
