You're Some Kind of Wonderful

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with another card using lots of The Stamp Doctor dies and stamps:

Center Step Card Die
Center Step Card Die Layers
Bottle Cap and Flower Die Set
Simple Sentiments 2 Clear Stamps

Using the Center Step Card Die, I die cut the card from pink cardstock, then used the Center Step Card Die Layers to create the top layers using brown cardstock.  on the center panels, I stamped the smallest flower from Simple Sentiments 2 stamp set repeatedly to cover. 

Using the Bottle Cap and Flowers Die Set, I die cut approximately 8 layers of tissue paper in one pass and then formed flowers by adding a brad in the center and then fluffing up the tissue layers.  To add color, I lightly spritzed the flowers with water and dabbed some Clearsnap ink  on the flowers.

 

I mixed the flowers around some ribbon I tied around the card, then added the sentiment above which was also stamped with Clearsnap ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  A little metal butterfly was the perfect finishing touch.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Flowers for You

Good morning everyone,  Steph here with a quick and easy card using  G023 Dahlia Bouquet stamps.

The card is approximately 4 1/2" x 5 1/2".  I added a light pink panel approximately 4" x 4" on top and wrapped it with sheer ribbon.  Along the bottom of the card, I added 3 scored lines for a little more dimension.

 

The Dahlias were colored with Copic Markers and die cut with Spellbinders oval dies and added to the pink panel with foam adhesives for dimension.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

You make me Smile Center Step Card

Hi everyone, Steph here with a card that was a huge hit at the Syracuse and West Springfield stamp shows. 

I used the Stamp Doctor Center Step Card Die to create the card in one pass.  It cuts and scores so all you do is fold on the score lines and the card is ready to decorate.

I used the Stamp Doctor Fleur de Lis die set, which is a set of 6 dies.  Cutting the central panel and side panels from cardstock, placed them on sticky back paper and added glitter to achieve the fun shimmery look.  You could also do this by placing glitter paper behind the cardstock.

 

The bottom border is also from the Fleur de Lis set, a delicate element that fits the card perfectly.

 

The sentiment is from Simple Sentiments and is a perfect fit in the center of my card.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

More Father's Day Cards

Good morning everyone,  Steph here today wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

I've created some more Father's Day cards using the same stamps as I used here, but these cads are horizontal rather than vertical. 

 

 

As you can see these stamps are quite versatile.   And when using cardstock, it isn't necessary to color in the images.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Heartfelt Thanks

Good morning everyone,  Steph here today.  The Stamp Doctor has some wonderful stamps and dies.  Today, I'm use the Pop-A-Top #17. 

I wanted to do something a little different with it, so I created an easel card.  Starting with a 5 1/2' square card, I scored it at 2 3/4" and die cut the Pop-A-Top at the score line.  I used the coordinating Spellbinders Labels 17 to finish off the card.

Another view.  The sentiment on the 1" strip was added with foam adhesives and that helps the easel stand up.  Think of all the fun creations you can do with these dies.

Thanks for stopping by today.  And don't forget to pop by the store to pick up these amazing dies and stamp sets.

You Brighten my Day

Good morning everyone,  Steph here to brighten your day.

I used the Poppy corner stamp, coloring it with Copic Markers before die cutting into a circle.  The card was die cut from Spellbinders scalloped circles.

The sentiment is from Simple Sentiments.  Robin's Nest dew drops were added to the center of the flowers for some dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Flower Thoughts

Good morning everyone,  Steph here again with some wonderful products from The Stamp Doctor.


I created a 5" square card from black cardstock, adding yellow cardstock on top to coordinate with the stamped and colored images.  I used - A148 SM Sunflower Bouquet - 3 times, coloring them with Copic Markers, then used  them as strips to create the card.

Some yellow ink around each strip and the sentiment brought all the pieces together nicely.

The sentiment is - B101 Beautiful Flower.  I die cut, inked it and tied it the ribbon I wrapped around the card.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Reindeer Tag

Good morning everyone,  Steph here again with some wonderful products from The Stamp Doctor.

With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought it should create some tags. Tags are so easy to do with these products. Just stamp, die cut and you are done.

I used the reindeer die cut (which I absolutely LOVE), inking while it was still in the die. He was popped onto the tag after I covered it with some lovely Teresa Collins papers and the Stamp Doctor's Merry Little Christmas Circles stamp set. Some die cut holly leaves and twigs added a nice festive look.

Consider setting up an assembly line of all items you need and you can easily create any number of tags in no time at all.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Reindeer tags

Good morning everyone,  Steph here again with some wonderful stamps from The Stamp Doctor.
I love tags and the products from The Stamp Doctor make it so easy to create some wonderful tags.

The background papers are from Theresa Collins and I cut them to fit the office supply tags I had. Inking the edges of all gives some nice dimension to the tags. The stamps are Large Merry (C026) which were stamped in brown ink on white cardstock. On the first tag, I used Spellbinders Large Circle dies (S4-114) to create the ring which I placed on a larger red circle die.

On the second tag, I used Spellbinders Large Circle dies (S4-114) to create the circle. The 3 Reindeer dies were the perfect size for the tags. I die cut them, then kept them in place while adding brown ink to them. I absolutely love them!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to carefully check out the store - there are so many wonderful products available.

Take time.....

Good morning everyone, my name is Steph and I am thrilled to be designing for The Stamp Doctor as one of their newest EMTs.

Today, I am sharing my first post for The Stamp Doctor.

Fall is definitely in the air. I love the sound the leaves make as you walk on them. So I thought this card would be perfect to get everyone in the mood for fall. My card uses these wonderful fall stamps:
C054 LG Maple Leaf Set
A128 SM Maple Leaf Set
A129 Leaves Turn

I colored the leaves with Copic Markers, then fussy cut them to display on the card. I then mounted them on S4-293 Lacey Circles with foam adhesives for dimension. The sentiment was the perfect addition across the leaves.

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to carefully check out the store - there are so many wonderful products available.
