Lake Forest, Calif. (PRWEB) February 11, 2015 -- Mixed-media artist Stephanie Ackerman returns to Sizzix® with versatile designs that the everyday crafter can enjoy creating using its family of die-cutting machines.
Crafters can transform 12 quintessential designs into inspiring altered art, journal cards, home décor items, mementos and other crafts projects with the Homegrown & Handmade collection by Ackerman.
“Whether you’re a cardmaker, scrapbooker, stamper, stitcher, mixed-media artist or all of the above, every single product in my collection can be transformed into something special with the medium you are using,” said Ackerman. “And all my dies coordinate perfectly with my past release, so you can easily mix and match to create fantastic pieces of art!”
Three Bigz™ dies in standard, L and XL sizes in card, box and tag designs make uplifting notes, handmade cards and journaling inspiration, while seven Originals™ dies create embellishing arrow, Christmas tree, flower, heart, house, pumpkin and star shapes. The steel-rule blade inside Bigz and Originals dies cut any material that scissors can cut, expanding crafting possibilities across different do-it-yourself markets.
Rounding out the new design options, Framelits™ die set stamps tender sentiments onto accompanying tags, and a Sizzilits® Decorative Strip die adds scallop borders to any papercrafting project.
“Crafters will appreciate the versatile projects that Stephanie’s new dies allow them to create,” said Cara Mariano, Art Director for Sizzix.
The Homegrown & Handmade collection by Stephanie Ackerman is now available in local craft boutiques and major retail craft chains. For more information, visit http://www.Sizzix.com/home.
