Old-School Halloween Magic

By    October 19, 2026 // No comments

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!


I am a HUGE vintage Halloween fanatic, and these Crackerbox Stamps images give me all the 1940s Halloween decoration vibes! The nostalgia, the spookiness, the vintage charm… I AM HERE FOR IT! Are you?

I colored these spooktacular images with alcohol markers, then added details with watercolor pencils and white gel pens. For the card design, I went with a simple fun fold featuring THREE focal points. Because when you have three fabulous vintage images, why settle for just one? 🧡🖤

Vintage Halloween forever!

Supply List:

 
Additional Supplies: embossing folder, bling, watercolor pencils, alcohol markers, white gel pen.


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

 Hello, Janet here with a Just a note card with all the colors of fall.

I stamped the tree on a small piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Using watercolor pencils, I colored the tree, blending yellow and orange. The edges of the cardstock are torn for a rustic look. Just a note is stamped at the bottom. I tied a piece of orange twine around the stamped cardstock. Layer that onto a piece of designed cardstock and then onto plain orange cardstock. Attach to the card front.

TaDa!

By    October 06, 2026 // No comments
 Hello, Janet here with a special birthday card!

I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on a square of white cardstock. I colored the TA DA with silver marker. Then I layered it onto slightly larger black cardstock. Set that aside. Next, I layered a smaller piece of gold-and-black striped paper onto the black cardstock base. The middle layer is gold, black, and silver polka-dot paper. Layer that on top of the black cardstock. Place it diagonally on the card base. I put foam squares on the back of the sentiment to add dimension. Center it on the card.

 Hello Fellow Crafters. Vicky here today with an invitation.
Are you ready for some football? Here in Wisconsin, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are changing color. Fall is coming, which means football is coming too. John is watching the Packers play football on TV. I took the time to design a football party invitation, complete with a custom G on the helmet, made by Crackerbox Stamps. We Wisconsinites love to party, and we especially love our football! Nothing beats gathering with friends and family to cheer on our beloved Packers, enjoying cheese curds and beer, and making unforgettable memories.

The Egg Has Entered Its Pumpkin Era

By    September 23, 2026 // No comments


 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

The Egg stamp is BACK, and apparently it refuses to stay an egg.
So far, we’ve turned this little guy into balloons, flowers, scales, mermaid tails... and now PUMPKINS! 

Because apparently the Egg has decided it has a seasonal career. And honestly? I’m here for it.
It’s officially pumpkin time, people! So grab that Egg stamp and give it a little imagination. Who says a stamp has to be what it says it is? What should we turn the Egg into next? I’m ready to make it weird. 

Supply List:

 
Additional Supplies: black pen.

Beware Of Frightful Things Halloween Card

By    September 20, 2026 // No comments

Hello, fellow Sampers, Vicky here today.
I have started my Halloween cards, and something spooky is stirring! Get ready for a hauntingly good time! These Halloween stamps make it easy to create creepy, characterful cards. Complete with a mischievous spooky creature, flying bats, a glowing moon, and a frightful sentiment. Perfect for Halloween crafting, cardmaking, and adding a little eerie magic to your projects.
I stamped the Demon Wisp first using VersaFine. I punched a 1inch hole in a piece of scrap paper for the moon. Using yellow ink, I sponged into the circle opening.
I placed the punched circle over the yellow and sponged the rest of the card with grey-blue ink, then gray ink. I went a little heavier on the sides and around the moon.
The spots were made with the Texture Stipple Brush, which I love to use for a light background.
The saying, On Halloween was stamped with VersaFine, my go-to ink for detail and words.

Stamps Used:
Demon Wisp
Bats Flying
Beware On Halloween

Products:
Memento
VersaFine
Stipple Brush

Frankin Bob Says Life is Scary . . . without Coffee

By    September 16, 2026 // No comments
A spooky hello to you, friends! Toni here with a cute and not too spooky Halloween-themed coffee card.


I used a variety of Halloween patterned paper to create the front backdrop. Naturally, I used the same paper on the coffee cup, choosing a fairly plain paper to allow the Coffee 3 sentiment to shine.

I next stamped Franken Bob and colored him up with Copics. I love his resting bitch face--same, Bob, same!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

 Hello, Janet here with a birthday card that the young and old would enjoy.

The next layer is multi colored dots. I added a piece of embossed copper cardstock that looks like a coin on the right side of the multi colored designed  paper. I attached the gumball machine on the left side of the card. It's your birthday is stamped with  VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on a small piece of white cardstock. A piece of red twin is placed under the sentiment.

Made for the Moments That Matter

By    September 14, 2026 // No comments

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

This is one of those cards that can say SO many things without saying a word. I wanted to create a card full of emotion, and I think this one does just that.

Could it congratulate someone on the arrival of a new baby? Absolutely! Could it be sent to someone who needs a little encouragement while they’re on the mend? Maybe. Could it be from a friend simply offering a helping hand? Of course!

That’s exactly why I left the sentiment off. There are plenty of emotional, sweet, and quirky sentiments in the store, so you can make this card fit just about any occasion.

I colored the images with alcohol markers, then added depth with watercolor pencils and gel pens. And this little scene is a bit of magical masking! There are FOUR stamps hiding in here. I started with Mouse Sitting Up and the Cracked Egg, masked those, then stamped the Solid Egg and Outline Egg to turn them into a balloon. Finally, I added the Sunflower and Mailbox stamp to bring the whole scene together. I did add a bit of shimmer onto the egg shell, I hope you can see it in the closeup pictures.

Who knew a few stamps, some masking, and a little imagination could create a card with so many possibilities? 

Supply List:

 
Additional Supplies: watercolor pencils, alcohol markers, gel pen, masking paper.

Fall Thank You

By    September 12, 2026 // No comments
 Janet here with a thank you card with all the colors of fall.

I stamped the milk can and the pumpkin with leaves, with Memento Tuxedo black ink. They are colored with copic markers and cut out. Using a die, I cut an arch out of white cardstock. I stamped a branch and a bush for arrangement using markers for the colors. The background is speckled with a royal texture stipple brush and brown ink. I attached the milk can and pumpkin to the arch. A bow is made from orange twine and glued to the milk can. Thank you is stamped with  Versafine Clair Nocturne ink down the side of a piece of orange cardstock. Next, I embossed the orange cardstock and attached the white arch. The finished front is attached to the card.
