Ants on Parade

 Hello, Janet here with a thank you card. The ants invaded the last picnic of the summer!

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the watermelon pieces on scrap paper, colored them with copic markers and cut them out. Next I stamped the ants across the bottom of white cardstock. They are also colored with copic markers. I added the black dots to make a trail. I attached the watermelon pieces  in the ants front legs. I added an ant to the third slice of watermelon. He is holding a Thank You sign stamped with  VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. The white cardstock is layered on a red and white checked paper resembling a picnic tablecloth. Attach that to the card front.

Stamps Used:

ants set of 3

watermelon set of 3

Thank you !

Country Love & Sunflower Hugs

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I wanted a country-sweet hug on a card. A simple way to say “I’m thinking of you” with a little bit of that warm, down-home country love. I reached for Crackerbox Stamps’ Sunflower Lg and paired it with soft patterned papers and gentle colors to create that cozy feeling. I colored the sunflower with alcohol markers, then added highlights and shadows with watercolor pencils for a little extra dimension.

Sometimes a card doesn’t need to say much. It just needs to feel like a hug. 

Supply List:

Sunflower (LG)

VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink

 

Additional Supplies: watercolor pencils, stamp punch, alcohol markers, pattern paper, shimmery paint.

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

Count Phil Thinks You're Fangtastic

Good evening, my minions. The night's are getting cooler but Count Phil will ensure you're cozy, one way or another. LOL. Toni here prepping for Halloween!

This card is super easy to replicate, I swear.  I diecut the card front using a deckle-edge rectangle and embossed both the Castle in white and the You're My Favorite Muggle and Fangtastic sentiments in red.

I then stamped Count Phil and colored him up with Copics. See? Easy!

How Did You Get a Picture of Me, Helen?

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Helen is in NEED of coffee, and honestly… I don’t blame her. 

This is Helen with Coffee in the large size, but I might need to get her in the smaller size too because she is just HILARIOUS!

Every. Single. Time. I use her, someone asks, “How did you get a picture of me?”  It never fails!

I love that we all feel a little too seen by Helen and this stamp. 💗

For this card, I paper-pieced her bathrobe, which I think is such a fun way to dress her up! Then I colored her with alcohol markers and added shadows with watercolor pencils. Because apparently Helen needs coffee AND good lighting. For the sentiment, I stamped just the first line of the FYI stamped and cut it into strips.

Size Matters Even in the Bridgerton Era

Hello, friends!  Any Bridgerton fans out there? Toni here and I love period costumes, particularly the later Victorian era (think The Gilded Age) so I'm all about checking out the fashions on these shows. 

When I saw this patterned paper in my stash I immediately thought of period wallpaper and how it would go so well with the Martini Lady image. So, I stamped her out and used my Scan 'n' Cut, resulting in a silhouette stencil. How cool is that?!

Now "Daphne" can get all the hot gos about how Size Matters. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Loose & Lovely

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I’ve been wanting to try a REALLY loose watercolor with one of my Crackerbox Stamps florals, and today was the day! 

I stamped Flowers and Butterflies onto Bristol paper and heat embossed the image. Then I sprayed the paper heavily with water and started dropping in watercolor, letting the colors mingle, bloom, and do their own little dance. 

No fussing. No controlling every little detail. Just water, color, and a little bit of letting go.

And honestly? I LOVE how it turned out! 

Supply List:

Flowers and Butterflies

VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink

 

Additional Supplies: watercolors, stencil,  dies, pattern paper, shimmery paint.

King Of The Grill Card

 Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with a card for a Grill Master.

It's officially grilling season, and I created a card to celebrate the King of the Grill in your life! The star of the show is grilling up juicy hot dogs, but let's be real: chicken and hamburgers are always great options too. Use this thoughtful card as a heartfelt thank-you for a BBQ you recently attended, or as a sweet gesture for your significant other who always takes charge of the grill. What's your go-to dish to throw on the grill?

My card base is blue to match the plaid paper. I corner punched the plaid paper.

I stamped, colored, and cut out the Grill Food Set of 5.

I used a die to cut out a backing for the saying.

I stamped the Frame, on printed paper and cut it out.

King Of The Grill was stamped on the printed paper.

The Pig Hangin On, Grill And Lid, and Hot Dogs, which I cut off the stick, were stamped, colored, and cut out.

Stamps Used:

Grill Food Set of 5

Frame

King Of The Grill

The Pig Hangin On

Grill And Lid

Hot Dogs

I hope you are having a great summer!

The True Warmth of Friendship

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today with a hilarious friendship card that makes me giggle.

I stamped the Sassy Girl Variation image with Versafine Clair Onyx, coloring her up with my Derwent watercolor pencils. I tried to shade her undies a tad yellow but it's not obvious obvious.  

Still the Peeing Your Pants sentiment is the perfect accompaniment.  Look at her face and sassy stance!
