The Stamp Doctor

Welcome back to Robin's Crafting Nest!

Today I am sharing with you my first shaker card! This was really fun to make. All the

dies I used on this card are from The Stamp Doctor! She has a fantastic

line of dies to choose from.

I used 3 different die sets to create my shaker card. The first Die Set is called

A2 Card Layers #1. I used this to create by background layers for the card.

This die set makes it so easy to create many different size mattings. The second Die

set that I used is called Circle Frame Set 1. I thought this set would be perfect to create the

shaker part of my card. I used this set to cut out my image, my craft foam to

make a dimensional frame, a cute little frame, and my acetate. This set comes with

6 different circle shapes which you can use to make all kinds of solid shapes and frames.

The dies cut beautifully through the craft foam and the acetate. The third die set

is called Tags #1 - Stitched. I used this set to frame my sentiment.

I love fall leaves so I chose to use an image and sentiment from Penny Black.

The clear stamp set is called Grateful. This stamp set comes with 4 beautiful

images and 2 fantastic sentiments.

Leaves: YG17, Y13, Y15, Y19, YR23, YR24, YR27

Welcome back to Robin's Crafting Nest!

I love all things fall! The cooler weather, the changing leaves, and
getting pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. When I saw this adorable fall
stamp from Your Next Stamp I knew I had to color it. I just love the cute

Autumn Leaves and it was a great way to practice coloring the fur on the puppy.

I also used some fantastic dies from The Stamp Doctor. Here I am using her
A2 Card Layers #1 dies. These dies create the perfect A2 sized card layer and when
used with the smaller dies creates a 1/8" matting. It make cutting out my layers so easy now.

set called A2 Card Layers #2 dies which when combined creates 1/16" matting.

your space into a work of art.

I am using this beautiful image from DoveArt Studios available through Whimsy Stamps.
The image is called Cottage Garden. I used a lot of different Copic Markers to color
this image today but really you could use just a few and it would come out just as
stunning! I have been doing a lot of work in my garden and hopefully it won't be
raining this weekend so I can add some gladiolus bulbs to my garden beds
for another dose of color. Being in the garden is so relaxing!

I learned so much in this class and really enjoyed learning new Copic skills.

Here is my final card using what I learned in this fun class

For all the details for this card jump over and sign up for Rhea's class at PassionatePaperCreations.com

great texture on their petals and come in blues and purples.
