Happy Fall Card

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today wishing you a Happy Fall.

As we head from summer into fall, I can almost hear the crunching leaves, can you?

I die cut the Maple Vine Frame from  Rinea Mocha Foiled Paper.  The foiled paper die cut beautifully and was the perfect frame for my fall card.

Using The Best Glue Ever, I adhered the frame to a panel of Rinea Emerald Foiled Paper.

Because leaves come in a multitude of colors, I die cut the frame again with a variety of foils, fussy cut some of the leaves and adhering them back to the main frame, giving the card some dimension.

Stamping an image, I colored her with Copic Markers, fussy cut her, matted her with cardstock for emphasis, then fussy cut her again.   Finally, I slipped her behind some leaves along the bottom of the card.

Floral Slimline Card

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a new floral slimline card.

Tutti Designs has some amazing slimline dies that can be used in numerous ways.  I chose to combine 2 different die sets to create this card.

I chose to use Rinea Foiled Papers to create the backgrounds, using the same foil colors for the different sized layers.  Starting with the Fence die, I created the base of the card from Sapphire and adhered it to a panel of Gold.  I found The Best Glue Ever is perfect for adhering the layers.  Then I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to create the next 2 layers from the same foil colors.

To finish I added flowers and a phrase.

Welcome to my Fairy Garden

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today welcoming you to my Fairy Garden.

With slimline cards all the rage, it's sometimes hard to decide how to best use them, especially this Bamboo Frame.  I thought it would look great to enhance a stamped background.  You just need to determine it's placement before stamping the images. 

I first created a background on my cardstock.  After determining the position of the die, I stamped the Fairy Hugs Mini Fairy Nests in the upper right.

I wanted to use Fairy Hugs Pixie, so I had her throwing some stardust at the Fairy Nests.

Fairy Hugs Bluebells were added to the right corner and then the Fairy Hugs Dance phrase was added to the left side along with several small Fairy Hugs Bees.

Of course, I had to finish off with some glitter!!!

Hello Summer

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today saying Hello Summer.

This Tutti Designs Die just screams fun, doesn't it?  I chose to die cut it from 3 colors of cardstock.  Using the orange layer as the base, I cut apart the other colors so I could reassemble the die with the correct colors in place.  Realizing I needed to use yellow cardstock, I die cut that piece last.

Create a card from kraft cardstock and add a panel of blue on top.   Using the largest of the stitched circle dies, I die cut a black cardstock circle and adhered it to the card.  Then, I placee the reassembled die cut on the card.

Spring BIrd House

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here spreading happiness with a spring slim line card.  

I wanted a spring card and since I have lots of 6x6 paper pads, I decided to combined 2 panels.  I tore the edge of the green panel and placed it on top of the floral paper.  

Using the largest Torn Edged Die, I die cut the panel and then also die cut a white panel to create the frame.

Inking the panels with brown ink, I placed the panels on an orange card.

Next, I die cut the birch tress and also die cut and assembled the bird house.

I also die cut the flowers and leaves that come with the bird house set.  As you can see, I left my pieces intact as they are small.  This way I don't lose them!

 I used the Birch Tree dies to use as the stake for the bird house, then I placed the bird house on top and added all the embellishments.  Then I added a phrase across the stake.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Bunny Friendship Card

 Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share a sweet slim line card today.

I began by stamping the rabbit on white cardstock.  After coloring with Copic Markers, I added some grass using Peeled Paint Oxide Ink.  

Realizing I wanted to create a slim line card, I adhered pink cardstock to the panel, then die cut the panel with the 2nd largest die.  Using the Best Glue Ever, I adhered ribbon at the seam.

The card was created using the largest of the dies and the panel was added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.

I added a phrase that was stamped with black ink, die cut and matted with a larger die.  It was also added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by.
