Spring is in the air!

                     Hello, Janet here with a s spring card. The yellow flowers are blowing in the air.
I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on 3 small squares of cardstock. They are colored with copic markers and then layered onto slightly larger black cardstock squares. They are randomly placed on a 3 x 4 1/2 piece of white cardstock. Layer that on a slightly larger piece of black cardstock. Set that aside. Cut another piece of black to cover the front of the card. I layered a smaller piece of yellow-and-white striped paper on top of that. Then attach the top part at an angle to the card. I tied a black and white checked bow and added a few black embellishments. Inside, I stamped the Friends Are Like Flowers verse with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Happy Mother's Day!

 Hello, Janet here with a pretty purple card for Mother's Day!
Using blue ink and a soft brush, I made a light blue background on white cardstock. Next, I stamped the small tulips next to each other on a wavy line, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They are colored with Copic markers. I added a piece of purple, designed paper to the bottom to match the wave. A ribbon divides the two papers. That is all layered onto a light purple embossed cardstock. Attached that to the white card. Happy Mother's Day is stamped with VersaFine Nocturne Ink and die cut. Attach that to the lower right corner of the card.

Stenciled and Embossed Floral Sympathy Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here, and I'm so very excited about the 25% off sale.  Be sure to check it out and stock up on your favorite cling, summer, flower and Mother's Day stamps!


For my sale-inspired card, I used the Hydrangea Lg image but rather than coloring it up, I created my own stencil and sponged it.

I decided to make it into a sympathy card, keeping the colors muted with additional stenciling.

To finish up, I embossed the Love, Joy, Friendship sentiment on vellum using Ranger Copper embossing powder.

I Love You Beary Much Mom

I saw a video on YouTube for a Center Step card, so I thought I would give it a try. Once it was cut and scored, I added some pattern paper to each panel. I stamped the Bear With Heart stamp on a textured tan piece of cardstock and colored it using alcohol markers. I die cut two M's and colored them with the same colors I used for the heart. I stamped two sentiments from the Mother stamp set and added those to the center panel. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Masculine Frog Birthday Card

Hello, friends! Toni here with you sharing a humorous masculine birthday card.

I used a piece of designer paper from my stash for the water and scalloped round circle dies for the lily pads.

Spring Happy Birthday Card

 Hello, Janet here with a bright spring looking birthday card.
First, I stamped the tag on a small piece of white cardstock and cut it out. Next, using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I stamped the Daisy Bunch on the tag and colored them with copic markers.  I stamped Happy Birthday with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and die cut it. Set that all aside and start assembling the card.
The bottom layer is yellow cardstock. White cardstock with embossed flowers is the next layer. Then, a yellow polka-dot paper slightly bigger than the tag. Tie a yellow bow on the tag. Place it next. Attach Happy Birthday on the lower edge of the tag.

Low Key Spring, WHAT?!?!?

   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!


Chocolate is my first love… snarky, sassy stamps are a very close second. So when I spotted the Bunny Butt & Ear stamp, I went from giggling to “add to cart” in record time. No hesitation. No regrets. 

I colored the bunnies like classic chocolate treats because obviously… priorities. From there, the card basically made itself, just a simple sketch paired with some playful spring papers. Light, cheerful, and just the right amount of sass.
The sentiment brings it all together, a little nod to gardens and friendships, because this one is heading straight to my sweet friend Sylvia.

Additional Supplies: Pattern paper, ribbon, stapler, and blender brush.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Love, Peace. And Harmony

 Hi everyone, Monica here, welcome back to Crackerbox's blog.
I am sharing something I could really use right now: Love, Peace, and most of all Harmony.
Harmony was stamped in the center of the card and colored.
I made a mask and put it over her.
The clouds were made in the background.
I used the Birdhouse And Flowers for the background twice.
I masked the birdhouse so it didn't stamp on the card.
Love, Peace And Harmony was stamped last.

Happy Easter!

 Hello Janet here with a sweet Peeps Easter card. Hop on in and get your Easter stamps.
I stamped the peep with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with copic markers on the front of the card. I put glitter on it to make it sparkle like the sugar coating on them. I die-cut a circle from Easter-themed paper and used a white die-cut frame to complete it. I attached that to the card over the bunny. Next, I die-cut a scalloped border from the pink-and-white-checked paper and white cardstock. Pink and white twine is wrapped around that and attached to the edge of the card. Happy Easter is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and cut out. I angled the sentiment at the top of the card.

Louise’s Egg-stra Playful Spring Background

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Louise is back and dressed for the Easter and spring season, bringing all the fresh, playful vibes with her. 

For this card, I built the background using both the solid and outline egg images, layering them to create a fun and lively pattern. To keep things from feeling too structured, I added some Dot Splatter across the background, giving it that extra movement and texture.

Once everything was in place, I brought back a bit of contrast with some loose black ink doodling around the design. A few subtle touches of distressing here and there helped soften the edges and tie all the elements together, creating a beautifully balanced mix of clean stamping and artsy detail.

Supply List:
Chicken Standing ~Louise
Egg Solid & Outline
Don't Scare me
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Additional Supplies: Pattern paper, pen, bling, and alcohol markers.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Peeps Treat

We have Peeps today. Vicky is the maker of this card.
Who else can't think of Easter without thinking about sugar comas and Peeps?
Here is a way to surprise them by giving one of your favorite peeps a sweet little treat for being an awesome friend!
Another sweet treat is that they are ALL ON SALE!
I started with a 4.25 x 11 piece of white cardstock.
I scored it at 4", 5", 9".
I cut a 4x4 piece of pink cardstock and put it on the end of the scored cardstock.
The yellow piece is cut 3 3/4 x 3 3/4.
I folded the flap over the front of the card and stamped the big Peep in the center.
I cut another pink piece of cardstock, 4.25 x 2, and put it on the flap.
In the center, I stamped Favorite Peep.
The smaller Peeps ~ (that comes in the set of 2 Peeps)
was stamped on pink cardstock and cut out.

I found a bigger Peep, but any Peep would work.
I put it in a ziplock bag and adhered it on the inside.
The stamped Hoppy Easter.
Stamps Used:
Peeps & Saying ~set of 3
Hoppy Easter
or
Peep ~set of 2

An Extended Birthday Greeting

I love sending birthday cards, but I don't always get them out in time.
Hello Crafters, for today's card I started with a yellow card base. I added a layer of balloon pattern paper as well as a smaller layer of polka dot paper. I stamped the Belated sentiment stamp on gingham paper and cut a fishtail to one side of it. Next I stamped the Frog 1 stamp and the balloons from the Birthday Set 2 stamp and colored them using alcohol markers. For the inside of my card, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Birthday Set 2 stamp set on light blue paper. I added a 1/2 strip of bowtie pattern paper to the left side of the insert. Thanks so much for stopping by and always send a birthday card, even if it's belated.

Unusual Friendship Card

Hello Stampers.
 A bunny and a bear are friends?
Why not! Friendships are for all kinds of animals and can be found anywhere.
I used some of our cute, lovable forest friends to make this friendship card.
I started with a square card and stamped the Bear, Bunny, Raccoon, and the saying, Friendship.
The small word "Friendship" comes in a set of 7 small stamps.
I added some extra branches using the branch the raccoon is on.
I sponged green on the bottom of the card and yellow on the top.
I mounted the card on dark brown, then mounted it on an extra strip of light brown on the left side.
The dark brown card has printed cardstock leaves, then put together.

I hope you like the friendship card,

Spring Flowers Card

Hello Stamper!
I am ready to bid farewell to the cold and gloomy Winter days and welcome the warmth of Spring.
I can't wait to see some beautiful, colorful flowers blooming everywhere.
The flower I used looked happy to me, and I made them in all different colors.
I stamped the Flower Pot on brown cardstock, cut it out, and adhered it to the card.
I stamped the Vine Sm. a few times up the card and colored it.
I stamped the small Feet Flower, colored them, cut them out, and put them on the vine. It's called the Feet Flower because it is the same flower that is found on our stamp with the cute feet.
I added the saying, Live Out Loud with VersaFine.
Yellow ink was sponged on the background, then mounted on light green cardstock.
I stamped the vine on the card and sponged green ink around the edges.

I hope you have a beautiful Spring!
Vicky
