Thanks a Minion!!

 

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with another fun project featuring stamps from     Crackerbox Stamps!

Today’s project is a quick and easy one featuring the following products:

Minion 1 Clear Polymer Stamps Set 

Thanks a Minion

The card was created using a “spare” background from my pile of gel press prints I tend to have in a drawer lol.  When I use my gel plates I make a lot of prints—but don’t use them all. So I cut them down to A2 size and they are my go to when I am stuck on what type of background I want for a card. I loved how the inky blue worked with the Minion in this case. The colored him with my Copic markers and the fussy cut him out. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the background.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you all again soon

Humorous Cheeky Squirrel Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous, naughty squirrel Valentine/birthday card.

I think the Chuck the Squirrel image is super cute and had planned to use the sentiments included with the Set of 3 but decided to instead use As You Get Older.

I embossed the card front in 3D hearts and lightly sponged over that with a darker green.  I sponged the pink leafy border in a darker pink, too.

I colored up Chuck with Copics and adhered him to the card front.  I had planned to an acetate backing for the sentiment but instead used a fussy cut layer of vellum.

A Valentine Kiss

 Hello, Janet here with another Valentine's card to share. A quick, simple one, no coloring.

I rounded the corners on a piece of small white cardstock. I used a soft brush and added some light pink color to it. Next, I stamped some hearts, lips, and S.W.A.K in pink ink. I stamped one more heart with lace on a scrap piece of paper, cut it out, and added some glitter. I rounded the corners on a slightly bigger piece of heart paper. Next, I rounded the corners on bright pink cardstock embossed with hearts. Layered all that on the white card with rounded corners. The final touch is the matching pink banner with the XOXO.

Grumpy Kitty Cat Lover Valentine Card

Hello, friends! Toni here, sharing a cat lover's Valentine's card.

I'm a huge cat lover and had such a great time coming up with this card.  

I started by choosing a variety of coordinating cat-themed patterned papers which happened to work well with my "middle finger cat" washi.

Next I colored up the Kitty Crabby Walter image pulling grays from the background. Then I stamped the I Hate You sentiment on a tag, layering a second tag beneath and tying them together with a bold black and white twine.

Elegant Lady Card

Hello Stampers. 

Vicky is here to share a card with an elegant Deco lady that can be used for many occasions.  

I stamped the Deco Women and colored her with Copic markers, then I fussy cut her out.

The frame is a die-cut from my stash, which I mounted on gold cardstock. I added the lady to the gold cardstock. 

I had a white ribbon, which I colored in the middle for the top ribbon, and the sides to the bottom ribbon were the same blue I used on the lady. I wrapped the ribbon around the brown cardstock.

I mounted the frame with Deco Lady on brown textured cardstock. 

I had some flowers that I also colored with the marker.

I used a button for the middle of the flower, which I also colored.

The center of the flower is a brad, which I attached to the flower.

Hope you like the card.
