A Cup Full of Vintage Charm

By    June 07, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!  

New day, new cup of coffee! You guys know how much I love paper piecing the Coffee Cup Top View Stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and this time I dressed it up with a beautiful vintage rose pattern. From there, the entire card naturally took on a charming vintage vibe.

For the background, I used the Coffee 3 Clear Stamp Set along with the Coffee Bean Set of 2 to add layers of coffee-themed goodness. A few pieces of ephemera, some mixed media touches, and plenty of creative love brought everything together into this cozy, coffee-inspired card.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (clear), die-cuts, rectangle dies, ribbon, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Play Ball!

By    June 06, 2026 // 1 comment
 Hello, Janet here with a baseball card. Baseball is in full swing now! I am sure someone would enjoy getting this card.
I stamped the baseball, mitt, and bat with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them and cut them out. Next, I made the baseball diamond. I cut out a green square and notched it out for the bases and home plate. The bases and home plate are cut out of white cardstock. I attached that to brown for the outfield. The brown is placed on a green embossed layer. Using a soft brush and brown ink, I smudged the edges. I attached the baseball, mitt, and bat to the front of the card. Have a ball is stamped in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on white cardstock and die-cut.

Thank Goodness for Friends Like You Birthday Card

By    June 05, 2026 // No comments
 Hello, my friends! Toni here today sharing a snarky birthday card. No surprise there, huh?

I really liked the Crackerbox Stamps Birthday 1 sentiment but it's so mushy given my snarky bent so I sassed it up.  I colored up the Frog Laughing image and added the common text acronym "TG!"  Now that's what I'm talking about!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Drifted Into Elegance

By    June 04, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

This elegant look came together completely by accident. I was planning to color the image with colored pencils, but after stamping and masking, I fell in love with the soft look of it just as it was. So instead, I reached for my Pitt Pastel pencils and gave them a try. The result feels dreamy and effortless, like a salty breeze drifting through a quiet coastal morning. This beachy scene was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Additional Supplies: Grey Pitt Pastel Pencil, White China Pencil, Cloud Stencil

Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong.

By    June 02, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

“Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong” might just be the crown jewel of snarky stamping, and without question, one of my favorite stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. I think we’ve all had days where coffee felt less like a beverage and more like a public service announcement. 

For this card, I paired that hilariously sharp sentiment with the soft elegance of the Wild Foliage Silhouette, and honestly, the contrast is what makes it work so well. You see the gentle botanical vibe first… then BAM, the snark lands like a caffeine catapult. Unexpected combinations are the confetti cannons of cardmaking.

To finish it off, I used a vintage coffee grinder image as a background stamp, which adds just the right amount of cozy café nostalgia and ties the whole theme together beautifully.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Yellow, Orange and Blue inks, white embossing ink, white embossing powder, border dies, book pages

Trust Me, I'm No Doctor

By    May 29, 2026 // No comments


Hi, for today's card I started with a honey card base. I stamped the I'm No Doctor sentiment on that same color cardstock and cut it out using a spiral notebook edge die. For the background I added pattern paper. I die cut two circles to mimic the medicine from the pattern paper. I stamped and colored the 
Big Head Ed stamp and added him on top of the circle dies. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Coffee, Cocoa & Crafty Deals!

By    May 27, 2026 // No comments
  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Hola, coffee lovers! Maybe your cup is filled with tea leaves, cinnamon, cocoa, or espresso strong enough to wake the neighbor’s cat. Whatever your cozy potion of choice, now is the time to stock up because all coffee, tea, and cocoa-themed stamps are currently 25% OFF at the Crackerbox Stamps store!

And yes... that includes Coffee Set #3, the newest addition to the coffee-themed clear sets family. This card was brewed with that set plus a few extra goodies that are also on sale right now, making the whole project feel like a crafty café table exploded in the best possible way. 

Warm drinks, inky fingers, and stamp sets with personality? That sounds like a pretty delicious combo to me.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (golden and black iridescent), die-cuts, bulb pin, circle dies, ribbon, pattern paper, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Card No. 2 features the new Coffee Lovers #3, and I am absolutely loving the vintage charm of this design. I used one of the larger sentiments to create a full background across the entire card panel, giving it lots of texture and interest. The finishing touches of paint splatters, washi tape, and vintage trims brought everything together like the perfect cup of aged espresso. 

CLOSE UP for card No. 1

Snarky Reasons I Need My Coffee Card

By    May 25, 2026 // No comments
Good day, everyone!  Notice I didn't say "good morning?" Yeah, I'm totally that person.
Toni here with you today with a fun snarky card featuring the new Coffee 3 set.
This was a really simple card to make, truly. I swear it took me longer to decide on the papers to use for the coffee to-go cup than anything else. LOL.

I stamped the Lady Yelling in the corner of the card front and colored her up using Copics. I then randomly stamped the beans from the Coffee 1 set and positioned the to-go cup at an angle. I love that the Coffee 3 sentiment fits perfectly on the sleeve.

Notice how I didn't check off a specific reason? Probably should have an "All of the above" option or possibly "Other: ________."

 Hello, Janet here with another graduation card. If you are like me, you have a lot of these to make. I like the black and white, clean and simple.
With Memento Tuxedo black ink, I stamped the hats off, diploma scroll and congratulations directly on the white card front. Using a wavy cutter I slit it down the middle. I layered the 2 white pieces on shiny gold cardstock. The final layer is black that is attached to the card.

I'm Hooked On You

By    May 23, 2026 // No comments

Hello, I was inspired by the background paper for today's card. I colored the hair and tail of the Mermaid Ruby Swimming By stamp with glitter gel pens. I used alcohol markers for her face and arms. I stamped the
Hooked On You sentiment, and layered it on top of cardstock that I also colored with the gel pens. Next I colored the Heart Dangle Left stamp and adhered everything to the card base. I finished the card by adding some gold enamel dots. Thank you for stopping by.
