I decided to make a Christmas dinner place setting using leftovers from my recent Friendly Foliage Christmas card. The other die cuts are from the Sentimental Framing set.

Gerda Steiner Advent Calendar Giveaway

This is a card I made using Gerda Steiner’s Day One Advent Calendar free digital image.  I’ve entered it into a giveaway on the GSD-Stamps Facebook group.  The image was printed on SU! thick white cardstock and colored in with Copic markers.  The pretty snowflake paper is Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Pink Polka Dot Paws - Gerda Steiner Designs

I made this card for Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenge #2548.  Click the link to play along.  The sponsor this week is Gerda Steiner Designs and the random prize is a $15 gift code to the online store. 

For some reason when I saw this image, I thought of painting someone’s nails to cheer them up… so, I decided to color the cat’s paws pink and then add some white polka dots with a gel pen.  I think it came out super cute and funny. You can find these cool images —> here

Edit - I just got an email newsletter from Gerda Steiner announcing the launch of their website Advent Calendar.  The email link brings you straight to the calendar where I opened up door number one and found a SUPER cute free digital stamp! I definitely recommend clicking my link and grabbing it for yourself.  I would tell you more about the image but I don’t want to ruin the surprise!
