Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with adventure and travel on my mind.  Please visit the store for all the fun products I've used today.


Have you seen the Graphic 45 paper collection - Fairie Dust.  Using several sheets from the collection, I adhered them to the card.  a 1" strip was torn and added across the card.


Using the MemoryBox Butterfly die, I die cut it from green and white cardstock.  I cut the white butterfly from it's floral base and added it atop the green butterfly.  A sentiment from WPlus9 - Miss You Lots - was stamped and added to the card.


My next card uses additional papers from the Fairie Dust collection. The top panel was wrapped with May Arts ribbon before adding it to the card.


Using Prima Marketing's Keira stamp, I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored here with Copic Markers.  After fussy cutting her, I added her to the card with foam adhesives.


The sentiment was added to the card.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today working with a bunch of products from the Rubber Buggy Store.  Have you checked out the store lately?  It has so many wonderful new products.

I love decorating bags to give as little gift packages.


I used Ranger Distress Ink to ink the bags.  Layers of pattern paper from Prima Marketing's Julie Nutting's 6" x 6" paper pad were added to the front.


Using some of the papers in the collection, I cut them to a variety of sizes, inked them and matted with Bazzill Peanut Cluster Cardstock.



The sentiment is from WPlus9 and was die cut and tied to each bag with Baker's Twine.

With fall coming, it's time to turn our thoughts to fall weather, Halloween and Thanksgiving and all that comes along with the season.



My card starts with Bazzill Circus Peanuts cardstock, onto which I've added a sheet of Prima Marketing's Vintage Emporium paper pad.



Next, I cut a smaller panel from Vintage Emporium, matted it with Bazzill Circus Peanuts cardstock and kraft cardstock.  I then wrapped the panel with Baker's Twine.  I used foam adhesives to add the panel to the card.



The sentiment is from WPlus 9, was inked with Ranger Distress Ink and matted with  Bazzill Circus Peanuts cardstock.

Today, I've created 2 cards using Bazzill Circus Peanuts cardstock.
I cut cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and used my Scor-Pal to score it at 5 1/2". 
Using a left over sheet of pattern paper from the Prima Marketing's Vintage Emporium, I tore the left side and added it to the card.


Memory Box has some amazing dies that are perfect for creating cards.  This Silver Springs Butterfly die was die cut from Vintage Emporium and placed along the left side of the card.  The sentiment is WPlus 9 - Guiding Light Sentiments.  This was die cut, matted with a larger die and added to the card.

I love the subtle papers in the Prima Marketing collection - 6" x 6" Rossi Belle.  I used a sheet for the card, then stamped the Heartfelt Creations Delightful Daisies flowers and leaves. 


Using Squeezed Lemonade and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks, I added color to the stamped images with a Ranger Ink Blending Tool.  Then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them.  I used the Heartfelt Creations Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to help shape the flowers.




Finally, I nestled the sentiment from WPlus 9 amongst the flowers.

I used papers from the Prima Marketing Rossi Belle collection.  I find 6" x 6" papers are perfect for cards.  Tear a selection of coordinating papers provides a great base for cards. 



Use another selection of papers from the  Prima Marketing Rossi Belle collection, adding Bazzill Cardstock between the layers.  The sentiments are from WPlus9 designs - simple but perfect for the look I was seeking.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a sweet tag.

Using an office supply tag, I cut black and green cardstock to fit.  Ranger Walnut Ink was used to distress the green layer.  Green Sheer ribbon from May Arts was tied to the tag.



The sentiment is from Stamping Bella - Callista Loves to Craft - and was added to the tag with foam adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today playing with scraps.  What do you do with scraps?  Do you throw them away or find a way to incorporate them in your projects?

I love Graphic 45 papers and really hate throwing away my scraps so today I'm showing you how I used scraps to create a card and 2 coordinating tags.




So next time you have scraps, put them to use and create an assortment of tags.
