Have A Howly-Jolly Christmas

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using a stamp by Gerda Steiner Designs.

I bought this cute stamp set last year and I'm just now finding time to play with it.  This set is Christmas Puppies and there are several adorable puppy images included in the set.  I colored the image with copics and then used my Scan N Cut to cut out the image.  I used a white gel pen to create the polka-dots on the present and I used a black glaze pen on the puppy's nose.  That cute sentiment is also included in this stamp set.   I sponged Cracked Pistachio distress ink on the card and adhered the puppy and present with foam tape.  I tied on a baker's twine bow and added a few sparkly sequins.

Copics Used:

Puppy - E33, E31, E30, E50, 100

Hat - C3, C1, R59, R37, R24

Present - R59, R37, R24

Bow - YG17, YG03, YG01

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

You Are Simply Wonderful

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring an adorable stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs.

I used one of the adorable bunnies from the Happy Hoppy stamp set.  There are several sweet little bunnies in this set, along with some fabulous sentiments.  I colored the bunny and hearts with copics and then diecut them the coordinating dies.  I used distress inks and a cloud stencil to create the base of my card.  Then I adhered the bunny, hearts, and sun diecut with foam tape for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

The whole idea is to have some Christmas cards and projects in our stash all ready to go for December 2018!

 

 

I stamped an adorable snowman from Gerda Steiner Designs' Snowman Friends clear stamp set and colored it with my copics.  I added some Glamour Dust to the hat for a bit of sparkle.  I fussy-cut the snowman then used a black glaze pen on the snowman's eyes and Nuvo Crystal glaze on the buttons and jingle bell.  I cut a circle of watercolor paper, applied distress ink, spattered it with water, and adhered this to my cardbase.  I used the My Favorite Things Stitched Circle Frames Die-namics to cut the window frame and then adhered acetate and added sequins to make the shaker.  I diecut a snowflake, covered it with Glamour Dust, and added a red enamel dot to the center.  I adhered the snowman and snowflake to the shaker frame.

Snowman - BV20, BG70, R20, R00

Happy Hoppy Birthday

Good morning!  Today I'm popping in with a fun birthday card featuring stamps and dies from Gerda Steiner Designs.

 

 

This sweet little bunny is from the Happy Hoppy stamp set.  I colored the bunny and balloon with copics then diecut them using the coordinating dies. The fun cupcake papers are from Echo Park.  I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the balloon, used a black glaze pen on the bunny's eyes, and added Glossy Accents to her nose.  I added a few enamel dots to finish off my card.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using a new stamp set that I just bought the other day. 

 

This cute little snowman is from the Snowman Friends stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs.  There are other snowmen stamps included in this set but I couldn't wait to color this tiny little snowman and put him on a card.  I stamped the images onto Neenah cardstock and then masked the snowman, birdies, branch, and heart ornament.  I used distress inks to sponge the snow bank and the blue sky.  I colored the images with copics and then added Glamour Dust to the birds' hats.  I used Glossy Accents on the coal buttons, jingle bell, and heart ornament and I used a black glaze pen on the snowman's eyes.  I also added a few sequins for some sparkle.

Happy Birthday

Good morning!  I've got a sweet little birthday card using stamps and dies by Gerda Steiner Designs.

This birthday bunny is from the Happy Hoppy stamp set.  I colored the bunny, balloons, and bumble bee with copics and then diecut them with the coordinating dies. I used distress inks to sponge the grass and clouds onto my cardbase.  I used a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the balloons and used a black pen to add the balloon strings.  I added some Glamour Dust to the bee's wings and adhered the images with foam tape for some dimension. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Good morning!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Today I'm sharing a card with a cute little panda bear by Gerda Steiner Designs.

This digital image is Peeking Panda and I colored it with copics.  I think this bear has the sweetest little face and I thought she'd go perfectly with the hugs sentiment.  I added some white highlights to her eyes with white acrylic paint and then applied some Glossy Accents to give her a shiny nose.
