Happy Birthday

Good morning everyone,  Steph Ackerman here with a birthday card today.  Since it is my husband's birthday, I thought he'd appreciate the few candles I placed!!!!

Have you seen The Stamp Doctor's wide variety of stamps?


This card uses C014 birthday cake and the candles were cut separately and added with foam adhesives for dimension.

 
I added just a hint of color.

Beautiful Sunflowers

Good morning everyone,  Steph here with a sunny card for you.

Now that winter has reared it's head, it's nice to be reminded of the sunny days ahead.

Using the long Sunflower stamps, I stamped them four times on 3 different panels of paper.  I cut each layer to line up with the Sunflowers on the previous layer, then matted each piece with black cardstock. 




The center panel of Sunflowers was colored and mounted atop some ribbon for additional dimension.

 
Thanks for stopping by today.

Fantastic Flourish and Florals

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a sweet card using the G023 Dahlia Bouquet in conjunction with some amazing Spellbinders dies.  I LOVE how this card turned out.

Because I wanted to focus on the beautiful Dahlias, I chose to color them with Tombow Markers and then fussy cut.  Once cut, I added them to 3 layers of die cut circles with the top layer on foam adhesives for dimension.




It seemed a little plain, so I used the Spellbinders S2-003 Fantastic Flourish 3 to create a wrought iron feeling for the background.  I die cut it 4 times and they fit perfectly on this 5 1/2" square card.  I just aligned the circles in the center of the card.

 
What do you think? 
 
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.

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.

Cards for Father's Day

Good morning everyone,  Steph here today and with Father's Day coming soon, it's time to get those Father's Day cards done.

I've used the Father's Day stamps to create these 2 cards.  The backgrounds were created by stamping the old fashioned tvs randomly on the cardstock in black ink. 



 
 
 
The phrase was stamped on white cardstock, die cut into an oval and added to the card front on top of twine that was wrapped around the card.
 


 
 
Kinda cute don't you think??
 
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 today using some awesome stamps from  The Stamp Doctor.

I created a  quick and easy card that just looks more involved that it is.  And this month we are working with green since St. Pat's day is not too far off.

I created a 5" square card from green cardstock.  A sentiment from Simple Sentiments was stamped on pattern paper and cut into a square, then 3 additional squares were cut.  Each square was then matted with green and black cardstock and placed on the card.




I added some bling to finish.it off.

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.

A Harvest of Blessings

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

I used these Autumn stamps -
C076 - Turkey
A131 - Harvest of Blessing


I used the sentiment on the card base, then colored the turkey with Copic Markers. As I wanted the turkey more prominent on my card, I fussy cut it, then added it to a Spellbinders circle die (S4-114). The background papers from Echo Park enhance the fall theme of this card.

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.
