Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!
On my first card, I’ve created a fun underwater scene combining Heffy Doodle’s Shellabrate and Oceans of Love stamp sets with Gerda Steiner Designs Deeply stamp set. I think they’re perfect together!
To create this card, I started by cutting a piece of watercolor cardstock 3″ x 5 1/2″ and used watercolor paints to create the ocean and sand. After it was thoroughly dry, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Deeply stamp set in white embossing powder.
I cut a piece of white cardstock 1″ x 5 1/2″ and inked it with Tumbled Glass distress ink and then inked the Heffy Doodle Wildside stencil with Broken China distress ink. I glued the 2 pieces to the card front with the watercolor cardstock slightly overlapping the inked piece.
I colored all of the images with Copics, fussy cut them out and glued them as shown. There are also coordinating dies available for all of these stamp sets.
On my second card, I’ve combined Gerda Steiner Designs Puppy Mail stamp set with Heffy Doodle’s Who Let the Dogs Out stamp set.
I started by cutting a Copic friendly white cardstock piece 3″ x 4 1/4″ and then stamped and masked all of the images. I colored the scene with Copics, glued it to the card front and added a few strips of patterned paper. I die-cut the new Heffy Doodle Stitched Balloons die from white cardstock and inked them with Speckled Egg and Kitsch Flamingo distress inks. I finished by stamping and heat embossing the cute paw print and sentiment from the Who Let the Dogs Out stamps.
Aren’t these pups adorable?!
I was having so much fun combining these 2 companies products together that I couldn’t resist making a 3rd card for today’s blog hop!
For this simple card, I’ve combined the adorable monkeys from Heffy Doodle’s Chimply the Best stamps with the cute giraffe from Gerda Steiner Designs Go Wild! stamp set.
I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 4″ x 5 1/4″ and inked it with mowed lawn distress ink. I then inked the Heffy Doodle UnbeLEAFable stencil with rustic wilderness distress ink. I die-cut a stitched circle, inked it with twisted citron distress ink and heat embossed the sentiment from the Chimply the Best stamps.
I colored the images with Copics, fussy cut them and glued them to the stitched circle.
I just love how cute they are together!
