Life Is A Picnic
Hi Fellow Crafters. Vicky here today using some of our food and summer stamps.
With summer officially started, the warm weather and sunny days are finally here, and you know what that means... PICNIC TIME! These ants are going to have their own picnic. They are hard at work, marching in line, carrying off tasty morsels and sweet treats to their hidden underground picnic paradise. I made this card with some of Crackerbox Stamps delicious summer food stamps.
I stamped the saying, Life's A Picnic, and it is in a set of 4 stamps, Picnic Set of 4. This set also includes the picnic basket and the blanket I used, and it also includes a pie. I used a die to cut out the words and frame.
The Marching Ants were stamped and mounted on printed cardstock.
The Watermelon was stamped and colored.

I know this card has a lot of stamps, but you can use some of them to make a really great card.
Have a wonderful 4th!

Moo-d Boosting Card
.jpg)
Got a friend who’s feeling under the weather? A handmade card like this is sure to bring a smile.
For this card, I used Cow Bridgette (large) paired with the Herd You Were Sick sentiment for the perfect get-well combo. The Hay Stack stamp ties everything together, creating a fun and cozy background scene.
Add in a few patterned paper scraps that fit the farm theme, and just like that, you’ve got yourself a cheerful GET WELL SOON card guaranteed to brighten someone’s day.
This one has such a fun farmhouse charm... cute, comforting, and just the right amount of moo-d boosting.
All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps.
Supply List:
Cow Bridgette (large)
Additional Supplies: Ink, feathers, Pattern Papers and dies.

It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere
I don't know about you, but Clara here has the right idea! Toni here today, getting my party on.
I used a stencil along with Ranger Candied Apple Distress Ink and Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed to create the background.
Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail Variations using Copics. Of course, I then decided it was too difficult to see Clara against that fab background, so I added a vellum panel. Much better!
And is there a sentiment other than What Time Is a Good Time that pairs so well with the scene? I will continue to search for it!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?
A or B? Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?
My family unanimously voted for A, but I had that creative itch to see B finished, too. You know that feeling... once you’ve stayed in the crafty barn too long, curiosity takes over. π✨
Honestly, I think both versions turned out fun and would be a joy to make or receive.
I started by stamping Cow Bridgette (small) and masking her before stamping Barn Variations (large) in the background. I colored everything using my favorite technique: starting with alcohol markers, then adding shadows with watercolor markers, and finishing with highlights using a white gel pen.
For version A, I kept things clean and simple.
For version B, I stamped an extra Bridgette, fussy cut her, and added a fence post die cut along with some grass for extra dimension. I also stamped the Your Day sentiment, cut it into pieces, and arranged it to complete the scene.
Both cards have their own charm... but now I’m curious; are you Team A or Team B?
All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps.
Supply List:
Cow Bridgette (small)
Barn Variations (large)
Your Day (large)
Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

Thankful Fore You
Hello, for today's card, I started with a green card base. Next I layered a piece of blue cardstock, followed by a piece of plaid pattern paper. I used green cardstock and a grass die and layered that on top of the plaid paper. I colored the Bob Golfing stamp and popped him up with foam squares. I cut out a stitched tag in green card stock and created the sentiment using the One In A Minion and Thanks stamps. I cut the word "fore" in black cardstock using alphabet dies and layered it on blue cardstock. I stapled some bakers twine to the top of the tag and added it to the card with foam squares. To finish the card, I added three sequins. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Kids Celebrating The 4th Of July Card
Hello Stampers. Vicky here today. Are you getting ready for our 250th anniversary?
I am getting into the patriotic spirit to celebrate the 4th of July with a silhouette stamp of kids marching proudly, holding the American flag as they pave the way for a brighter future!
I started with stamping the 4th Of July Kids with VersaFine Black.
I cut a blue piece of cardstock for the top. I needed something up there, but wasn't sure what I wanted.
I saw the flag pin on my desk, so I cut off the back and used it on the card.
I had a smaller piece of red cardstock sitting there, but it wasn't long enough to go all the way across the card.
I cut it from corner to corner and pushed the bottom piece to the right side of the card to make it longer.
In the space between the red, I stamped Celebrate!
Stamps Used:
I hope you enjoyed the 4th Of July Kids!

Independence Day Minion
Hello, I started with a red card base. Next I layered a piece of specialty firework cardstock. I used dies to cut out the sentiment using blue glitter cardstock. For the "th" I used my label maker. I also used a die and green cardstock to create the grass. I used the Minion 1 stamp set and I colored him with alcohol markers. Thanks for stopping by.

Growing Gardens, Growing Friendships
.jpg)
Summer is finally here, and the plants are thriving while gardeners everywhere are busy tending to their little green worlds. While you're taking care of your garden, don't forget to nurture your friendships too!
For today's card, I kept things simple with a one-layer design featuring the Plant Pots 2 Open stamp. I masked the Small Ivy so it could spill beautifully from the pot, and ended up masking both the pot and ivy twice to build the scene. The garden tool at the bottom comes from the Gardening Tools Set of 7 and adds the perfect finishing touch.
I love how this card captures a quiet summer moment with just a few stamps and a little masking. A sweet reminder that growth happens both in our gardens and in our relationships.
All products used are from Crackerbox Stamps.
Additional Supplies: Watercolors, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

Cool Summer Wishes from the Fishes
Happy summer, friends! Or should I say, "bloop, bloop?" Toni here today with an underwater scene built from a variety of my favorite fish images.
My first step was to create the background. I sprinkled a few Brusho watercolors on the cardstock and spritzed with water. I also used some Lindy's Magicals for a sparkly effect, but the pic doesn't really capture that well. Trust me--SPARKLE everywhere!
While that was drying, I stamped out Fish Nibbles, Fish Snooper, and Fish Butch, which I colored with Copics, then fussy-cut.
The background had dried by this time, so I used a deckle edge die to cut it out and flatten it, then stamped Seaweed Tall, Coral Sea Plant, and Branch Herb 2 along the sea bottom.
Finally, I stamped and embossed the Cool Summer sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Father's Day Card To A Great Dad
Hello Stampers! Vicky here today.
If you're a fan of those lovable, mischievous Minions and you're looking for a unique way to celebrate a great dad this Father's Day, make a Minion card! It's the perfect way to show your dad just how much you appreciate him, and the Minions theme is sure to bring a smile to his face. Check out the other Minion stamps that Crackerbox Stamps has.
This card did not turn out the way I had expected it to.
Have you ever had that happen?
I dropped an ink pad on the bottom of the white card AFTER all of the coloring was done.
So, what to do...cut it off!
I mounted the cut-off card on a brown piece of cardstock.
So I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to use the bottom of the card for a flap.
I stamped the saying, Great Dad at the top of the card.
I added the saying, Special Part Of My Life.
I folded the brown cardstock up to meet the white cardstock.
Then I stenciled the bricks with a light brown ink.

Girls just want to have fun!
Hello, Janet here with a pretty pink golf card. I made it for my niece who is enjoying the summer golfing with the girls.
I stamped the golf bag on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the bag with copic markers. The sentiment and Fore are stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink, directly on the white cardstock. With only a slightly larger piece of lime green cardstock I layered the stamped white cardstock on to it. Then onto the designed paper for a bold finish.
