today is a bittersweet moment as we come together for this final GSD
Insta Hop to say goodbye and thank you to Gerda Steiner. Knowing that
she is closing her wonderful shop for good is heartbreaking, and when I
heard the news, the reality of it felt... well, as the sentiment on my
card says: "That’s so scary."
It feels like more and more beloved stamp companies are stepping away, leaving a huge void in our crafting community, and it's a truly frightening trend to witness.
When I heard the news, I was actually just working on a card using Gerda’s adorable Halloween Ghosts. It felt only fitting to use them—alongside the original Ghosts—for this farewell card.
From August 2015 until December 2022, I had the immense honor and joy of being part of her Design Team. Those years hold such a special place in my heart, and being surrounded by her art has shaped so much of my creative journey. Gerda’s designs are completely unique. She has this magical way of creating wonderful characters where you can always find a little piece of yourself reflected in them.
Gerda, thank you for your incredible talent, your warmth and kindness, and for sharing your little world with all of us. You will be so deeply missed, but your art will stay with us forever.
