Sending Hugs Freebie!

Hello sweet friends! It's a strange time we're in, and even though there are more stressful things than we can even begin to count, I'm struck by the importance to how we need to show caring to others to get through this. Whether it's a phone call, a text, a smile across the street, I think it makes a difference. When I saw this sweet digi - Sending Hugs digital stamp from the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop I loved the idea of sending out a card to someone special to let them know I'm thinking of them. And how awesome that it's FREE! I used some pretty Simple Stories Papers from the new I Am collection that were included with my March SCT Sampler along with Hello Bluebird & Sizzix dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by! You can see all the details and closeups on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog and if you feel like getting crafty, you'll be sure to find lots of inspiration in the Shop. Have a safe and healthy week friends 💜

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!

Bloom Kitty Card!

Hi! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs blog today with a cute Spring Card using the Gerda Steiner Designs Kitten In Flower Pot from the Digital Spring Bundle. We are still in full on winter here, but I did hear birds singing the other day, and that really got me in the mood for spring! This is a fun set that was available a while ago, but you could definitely substitute any of the other cute Spring digi stamps or clear stamp sets in place of this image. I used paper and stickers from a Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler Pack, adding a sentiment cut from a 6x6 piece of paper. A bit of Glossy Accents and white gel pen adds a pop to the Copic coloured images.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Gerda Steiner Designs blog for closeups and details and have a look at all the adorable clear and digi stamps in the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop! Have an amazing week friends!

Gerda Steiner Adventure Bunny!

Hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I had some time to colour up a cute little critter from Gerda Steiner Designs -  Bunny With Camera Digital Stamp. I decided to go with some Neutral Grey's, but I think he'd look sweet in lots of other colours! I picked out some papers from the Scrapbook & Cards Today Woodland Grove Kit and matched his cute camera to the teal blue's in the kit. He looked like he was on an adventure, so this sentiment from one of the cut apart pages worked perfectly. I even found a little Doodlebug Design puffy sticker (I think I'm obsessed with puffy stickers right now!) that simply had to go on!
