Hi everyone, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today it is my turn again to post something on the blog from Gerda Steiner designs and this time I have made a mini slimline halloween card with a special effect. I have stamped the funny ghosts from the stamp set A boo to you from Gerda Steiner designs and then I coloured them with my Polychromos pencils and the black glaze pen. I have coloured the ghosts also with the Clear Spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen.
The mini slimline card is made with the die set Mini slimline B (CLCZ83) from Crealies. I have made the card from white cardstock. The second layer is cut from black cardstock. The purple patterned paper is from the Classic sunburst paperpad from Sunny studio. I have cut a couple of clouds from white cardstock with the Spooky clouds (retired) from Taylored expressions and I glued those on the purple paper. I added stars that I have cut with the Star confetti die from Alexandra Renke from black cardstock.
The upper ghost can turn when you pull the white cord and to make this I followed a tutorial (dutch spoken) from Crealies. For the squares and circles for the mechanism I have used the die sets Crea-nest-lies XXL 21 from Crealies and Crea-nest-lies XXL 22 from Crealies. I have added a little clip with my turning ghost more down below in this post. After I glued the ghosts both on the card I have added a sentiment that I have stamped on the card with a sentiment from the set Peekin' pumpkin kitty from Gerda Steiner designs.

This little mouse just brings a smile to your face. It also stamps beautifully the first time. As for the delicious strawberry. I plan on making some scrumptious summer cards for my fruit loving friends.
I love these cute birds and the versatility of the sign designs. This can be used for so many occasions. And, it can be combined with so many of Garda's fun critters. I used one of my favorites, Hippo, but right now, grumpy cat comes to mind. LOL.
I was asked to create a retirement card for a co-worker and I searched for ideas but nothing jumped out until I received an email introducing Birds on a Branch - now this would make a perfect retirement card and it did! So cute and versatile - I love it!
This little mouse is sure to brighten anyone’s day and bring a bit of encouragement to its recipient. I’ve already made a number up for friends in need. I appreciate that it can be colored up very quickly, which is great when you need to let someone know you are there for them.
