Quick and easy Coffee Card

 Hello!  This is Shanna here today with a brand new caffeinated project featuring one of Crackerbox Stamp’s clear polymer stamp sets, Coffee 1.  I am also joining in the fun and linking this up in the 2024 Fall | Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop that Crackerbox Stamps is a returning Super Sponsor for this year!! Be sure to click the link above to find out how YOU might play along.

For today’s card, I did a little repetitive stamping of the coffee cup in the Coffee 1 stamp set.  I grabbed an assortment of colored inks and an acrylic block and stamped the image all over an A2 kraft card panel.  My sentiment was stamped onto a rectangle piece of kraft cardstock and matted on some red to help make it pop when I adhered it to the bottom right corner of the panel.  I love a quick and easy design, don’t you??

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back soon for some more inspiration from Crackerbox Stamps!!

Coffee And Beautiful Flowers

I am reintroducing a designer we had in our group a few years ago. Her name is Olesya Andreyeva. . She will be an independent designer, designing as she is able.
This is the first card she has designed for us.

This is what Olesya wrote:

 “ When I was a kid my grandma had a very beautiful tea/coffee set of dark green cups with purple flowers, they also had golden borders. I was a fascinated viewer, because grandma didn’t let me take these cups. Several years ago my grandma served the table with these cups and was so casual like we didn’t have that prohibition to use the set :D. It encouraged me to make this coffee-themed card 🤭💜.


For the card, I used the Morning Glory set of 5 (watercolored), “Coffee cup top view,” and “Procaffeinating” for the sentiment.

Embossed Floral Sympathy Card

Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a sympathy card.



I stamped the Hydrangea Lg image in the corner of a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock then watercolored it using Zig Real Brush Markers.

Next I used the stamp itself as a mask and spattered the card front using Peerless Gold Watercolor Paint. Once that air-dried (I didn't want to warp the panel using my heat gun--eeee), I stamped the Heartfelt Sympathy sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne.  

I felt the plain version was too plain but because it was a sympathy card I didn't want to get too blingy.  3D embossing to the rescue!

Christmas Flip Card

 Hello Stampers. Simply Monica has made this flip-up Christmas card using some stamps from the Grinch stamps. These stamps make cute ornaments.

Monica die-cut 2 ornaments. She stamped Cindy Lou and Max on light tan cardstock and adhered them to the ornaments. The light tan cardstock in the middle was folded and mounted green cardstock and printed paper. She used pop dots on the ornaments.
Monica used a decorative die-cut on the left side.
She stamped Grinch Standing, masked him, and then stamped Christmas Trees 3. The images were cut to fit into the die-cut frame.
The folded card is mounted on a A2 card base.

We hope you enjoyed her beautiful card.

Stirring Up Some Magic Halloween Card

Hello Crafters. This is Vicky, and I have some magic for Halloween.
I used a stencil for the background. The ink is Grape Crush Catherine Pooler and Memento Bahama Blue. The saying "Stirring Up Some Magic" was stamped with VeraClaire Black Ink. I used a green Copic marker around the edges—the same green I used on the card.
The other images were stamped, colored, and cut out. I used the Copic colorless blender to add the bubbles to the bottles.

Humorous Grumpy Bear Winter Card

 Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous card perfect for lightening up those winter blues.

I started this card by using a background I had created ages ago using a stencil and Brushos. I spattered Copic Opaque White as snow and added a glitter hill to adapt it to winter.

Then I colored up the Grumpy Bear Bernard image using Copics, diecut the panel with a deckle edge and mounted it on a piece of kraft cardstock.  

To complete the card, I stamped the Wish I Was a Bear sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne and gave it the same diecut treatment.

Autumn

 Hello, Janet here with a fun fall card. Easy to color and send to a friend.

I stamped the cornstalk with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. I colored it with copic markers. Then, I tore the edges of the white cardstock to make it look rustic. The word Autumn is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturn ink. Using a stipple brush and orange ink, I added some color to the background of the stamped image. I layered the white cardstock onto brown checked paper. It reminds me of an old screen door. Next, I stamped double leaves on the designed paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them. I layered that onto brown cardstock and attached that to the card front.
