Interactive Slimline Card *Video*

Hi there.  I’ve got an interactive slimline card to share with you that I originally had intended to use in the Heffy Doodle/Gerda Steiner Designs blog hop that happened yesterday. But I had a creative burst and made a second card which I liked better for the blog hop, so I’m sharing this first one with you today. 

 

I’ve used the Deeply stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs and paired it with the You Go, Gull stamp set from Heffy Doodle.  I love how these stamps work so well together! I have a video for you if you want to see how I made this card and the bonus is, you don’t need any interactive dies for it!

Thank you for joining me and I hope you’re having a great day!

I have to say I had loads of fun creating this card! These stamp sets are just perfect together.  I’ve used the Big Bite stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs, and the You Go, Gull stamp set from Heffy Doodle.  This is a theatre fold style card which gave me lots of room for these stamps.  I’ve made a video for you, and I think it’s the easiest way to explain how these cards are made. It may look a little complicated, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll see, it’s really not that hard.

You Grow Girl

Hi and welcome! I have a really quick and easy card today made with the brand new stamp set “Grow Happiness”  from Gerda Steiner Designs. This set is full of plants and one little kitten that managed to sneak into a flower pot, as well as some sweet sentiments. 

I copic coloured all my images - I may have had every shade of green I own, out to play! I die cut a window from white cardstock, but if you don’t own any window dies, you could just draw in a window or a simple room scene.  I pencilled in the area where the window would be, and then masked off the area outside this. I ink blended a cloudy sky with a cloud stencil, removed the masking tape and then glued my die cut into place over the ink blended area.  Then I arranged all my potted plants and the kitten around the window. Finally, I stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment. I love how all the sentiments in this stamp set are so uplifting and positive. Definitely something we can all use these days. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a very happy, creative day!
