Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a Christmas card For You.  It's never too soon to start getting those Christmas cards started.

I've used some lovely papers from Maja Designs - A Gift For You collection.  I can't get enough of this paper line.  It is so pretty.  I cut apart the Die Cut sheet to get the tags and other elements to use on the card.




Thank you for visiting.

Hi everyone!

I'm here with a super easy project for The Rubber Buggy.
These Christmas cards are perfect to mass produce if you're shorthanded on time.


I die cut MFT snowflakes to work as masks, it even worked out as well that I could reuse them a couple of times so I did not have to die cut new shapes for each card - time saving :)

I then sprayed them in a couple of different colors with shimmer sprays (I used LSG starburst sprays, but there are plenty of beautiful colors in the store), embossed a greeting (I used gold tinsel and silver), wrapped some twine and voila!

I then added the card to a sturdy background paper as the watercolor paper tend to curl. Bazzil cardstock is perfect for this, really heavy weight.

I hope you try it out!

Products from the store:
MFT die-namics LET IT SNOWFLAKE
Shimmer spray
Distress watercolor cardstock
Magnolia rubber stamp, A MERRY CHRISTMAS (text)
Embossing powder
Twine

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a couple of quick and easy Christmas cards.

These cards are 3" x 5".  These lovely papers are from Maja Designs - A Gift For You collection.  Using A Gift from the Heart for the base of the cards, I then cut apart the Die Cut sheet to get the tags and winter scene, a beautiful collection of elements.




Bazzill Peppermint cardstock was used to mat the elements before adding them to the cards.




This is a great way to create quick and easy cards for the upcoming holidays.

Hi everyone!

I'm back with another card for The Rubber Buggy and by now the fall is right upon us in Sweden.
As I live by the coast, the weather most of the times can at least be described as windy :)

Although I know Graphic 45 released By the Sea as a summer collection, I couldn't help but be inspired by the windiness and made this card.


I've also experimented with the distress ink as water colours and I had a ton of fun. Even though I would not say that watercolour is my strong side. Simply put, I need more practise - a lot more :)
I also tried some masking technique with a torn post-it, to create to look of land...


I also made embellishment by using stamps from the same set with distress ink on Prima design paper. Really quick and easy, just stamp and fuzzy cut! Ok, depening on your fuzzy cutting abilities... I just assume I'm one of the slower ones, so you should be able to do it faster :)

Products used from the store:
Graphic 45 cling stamp By the Sea #1
6x6 Prima paper pad seashore
12x12 paper Prima seashore, sea memories
Distress ink weathered wood
Distress ink iced spruced
Distress ink crushed olive
Distress ink brushed corduroy
Stamping supplies (bone folder, score tape, scissors, watercolor distress cardstock, archival ink, watercolor brush)

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today  working with  some amazing Graphic 45 papers..



Time to Celebrate can be used for graduations, mother's day, parties, anniversaries, or any other time you want to celebrate.  The colors are beautiful and you can mix and match the papers easily.


Adding Bazzill cardstock mats between each layer adds some nice dimension to the card as done the light inking.  A piece of the paper was cut into a pennant shape and added as the final layer.

Hi everyone!

Pi here.
Great news :D
Kellie is bringing in Lawn Fawn to The Rubber Buggy store - YAY!!!

I can't tell you how excited I am!!

So in honor of the new brand I used a stamp & die set from my stash - season's tweetings.
I'm very happy with the way it turned out, mixed with products from the store such as Graphic 45 and Magnolia.


I've sprayed the WOC poinsettia with LSG glory of the sea gold and removed and the green leaves. I also changed the middle part for a flat crystal. Since I was in a hurry (my craft time is somewhat limited nowadays) the die cut leaf is painted with a wink of stella pen (clear), but you can also use the prima shimmer spray or perfect pearl from the store...

Products used on the card:
Lawn fawn seasons' tweetings stamp & die set
Magnolia doohickey tag (similar)
Copic markers
WOC poinsettias
Spellbinder's shapabilities foliage
WRS circle greetings
G45 papers, various collections (Eeirees tale, place in time)
Bakers twine, orange

I hope you liked it.
Don't forget to check out the store for the new Lawn Fawn products.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today  with a Prima doll and her name is Betty with a Hairbow.  She was lightly colored with ink and mounted atop a large Spellbinders oval.




I paired her with some Graphic 45 papers Botanical Tea collection.  The dots and stripes work so well together.



The sentiment is from another Prima Doll - Lots of Love collection.
