Twinkle Twinkle

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I've created a quick and easy card for you today.

 

This card uses the Hanging Stars clear stamp set.  There are 15 stamps in this set, enough to create a variety of cards.

Keeping it simple, I stamped a selection of stars across the card and the phrase in the lower corner.  Ribbon was added for some dimension.

Next time you need a quick card, pick up this set and start stamping.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Little Adventurous Bird

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today.

I've used the Bird Panel clear stamp set.  This set has 9 stamps and I've used 6 of them on my card.  I wanted to focus on the phrase so I stamped it on a tag, then added several different birds along the edges before matting it with coral cardstock.

On the background I also stamped an assortment of birds to give the paper a little more dimension.  I then matted the panel on cardstock to finish off my card.  The tag was adhered with foam adhesives for dimension and ribbons added to the tag.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Sparkle Card

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I've got a sparkly card for you today.

I'm using the Single Dot Border stamp, repeatedly stamping it across my yellow card base.  After inking around the panel, I adhered it to pink cardstock then wrapped pink ribbon around the panel before adhering it to the black card.

I placed rhinestones in most of the dots, leaving room for the sentiment.  Sparkle is from the stamp set With Some Sparkle and I chose to use just the one word.

I hope you sparkle today.

Thanks for stopping by today.

It's a summer birthday

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I've got a summer birthday card for you today.

I embossed the background with an embossing folder then I've used several images from the By the Sea Clip Art Sheets as the focal elements.  The images were distressed and matted before adding them to the card.

The sentiment comes from two different sets:  Happy clear stamp set and Christmas Mix It Up clear stamp set.

I just added a touch of blue to bring out the colors in one of the images.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps  from Paper Wings Productions.

The card was created from white cardstock and a layer of snowy paper and navy cardstock was added on top.  Since we recently were pounded with 30" of snow, this card was quite appropriate!

The mittens are from the Winter Wood Cuts Cling stamp set.  I stamped, fussy cut, and colored the mittens with Smooch Accent Inks.  The words are part of the Say it-Winter Greetings Clear Stamp set.  They were individually stamped and then cut into pennant shapes to fit across the card.  Black cardstock under the pennants really helped them stand out.

 

The mittens were added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Wish BIg

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps  from Paper Wings Productions.

 

I've inked blue cardstock with a stars art screen.  Next I used the Hanging Stars Clear Stamp Set, stamping it on white cardstock.  After fussy cutting around the stamp, I matted it with blue cardstock before adding it to the background which I also fussy cut along the top edge.

 

Brads were under under the stamped image and Wish Big was added in the corner.  This panel was then added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.

 

There are so many options for this stamp set.  I just love it.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy New Year Mittens

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps  from Paper Wings Productions.  It's hard to believe we are 12 days into the New Year already!  Where on earth is the time going?

Happy New Year wishes still abound and I've used Winter Wood Cuts cling stamp set and Say It Winter Greetings stamp set.

The card was created using Spellbinders dies.  I colored the mittens with Smooch Accent Inks, then I "hung" the mittens from some twine across the card. 

 

Happy New Year was stamped in the corner.

 

And a close up of the mittens and sentiment.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Black and White Christmas Cards

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

This stamp is from the Winter Cling Stamp Set.

 

I wanted to keep everything black and white so I stamped the image in black ink on white cardstock.  After fussy cutting the image, I matted it with black cardstock and fussy cut it again.

I added some ribbon to soften the cards.  I love the black and white effect.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Dear Santa

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

Christmas will be here before we know it, so let's get those cards ready.  I think this would be a great card for the kids to send their letters to Santa.

 

I used the Christmas Mix It Up clear stamp set, which includes 11 words and images.  I repeatedly stamped the santa hats across white cardstock, then colored them with Copic Markers.

 

Two different sized panels were cut to fit the card, then matted with cardstock before adhering them to the card.

 

Dear Santa was stamped and punched out then added to the card.  Now have your child write their letter to Santa and send it on it's way.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Christmas Tags

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

I recently received some new stamps and this Christmas set - Holiday add ons - really caught my eye.

 

I stamped the houses on white cardstock which had been cut to fit the tags.  2 were matted with cardstock and one was inked before adding them to the tags.  Holiday lights were added across the top and color was added using Smooch Accent Inks.   The phrases were stamped and die cut. 

These tags can be created assembly line style so they come together quickly.  Why not create some tags today?

Quick and Easy Halloween Cards

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

Halloween is almost here so let's create some Halloween cards.  I've used the Halloween Mix it up clear stamp set.  This set includes 11 stamps consisting of words and images.

 

For my first card, I embossed the background with a spider web background, then lightly inked it with silver ink for a dreamy effect.  I stamped the spider three times, punched them out and added them to black circles before adding them to the card.  Chill & thrills was also punched out and then added to the card with foam adhesives.

 

For my next card, I lined the words on an acrylic block then stamped them to create the background.

 

 

 

I stamped the witch hat three times, punched them out and added them to the card.  A border was added to finish off the card.

 

Because there were so many stamps to use, these Halloween cards were quick and easy to put together.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Sparkle a little brighter

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps from Paper Wings Productions.

 

I love creating journals and books so I've used the new With Some Sparkle stamp set.  This set of 5 stamps reminds us of how special we all are.

 

A spellbinders die was place on the journal and the stamped phrase was placed on top.  Then I added rhinestones around the cover so it all sparkles.

 

So don't be afraid to sparkle!!!

Halloween spiders

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happily creating Halloween projects.  I can't believe how fast September went and we are now thinking about Halloween. 

These cute stamps are from the Witchy Halloween stamp set.  Paper Wings Productions makes creating Halloween themed projects easy.

 

I embossed the background with a web embossing folder and then lightly inked over the embossed portions so the web really stands out. 

 

I die cut a hole in the bottom corner, then placed this panel on brown cardstock and die cut a smaller hole. 

 

I stamped the spiders directly on the card and placed the panel over them. 

 

Halloween was stamped twice and added to the card.

 

Are you getting ready for Halloween?

Let's Celebrate

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using the Celebrate Clear Stamp Set.  This stamp set contains 5 stamps so it's easy to mix and match to create the cards you want.

 

Time to celebrate can be used for many occasions.

Simply stamp the 2 stamps independently and add them to the card.

To add some depth, I adhered Dew Drops to the flower centers as well as the edge of the strip.

 

 

This stamp set can also be used for a number of occasions.
I love mixing pink and gray so I used that color combination to create my next card.

I kept this card simple by using a pattern paper background and coordinating cardstock colors.

Celebrate was added across the center.  Life was stamped separately and added to the lower corner.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Little Adventurous Bird

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with my first post for Paper Wings Productions.  I chose to use a wonderful stamp set called the Bird Panel.  This clear stamp set includes 9 stamps.

I chose to use the sentiment as the focal point of this card.  Once I stamped the sentiment, I die cut into an oval and had room to stamp several birds around the sentiment.

 

 

I thought this stamp worked really well with my paper selection.  I finished by stamping a few more birds directly on the pattern paper.

Thanks for stopping by.
