Birthday Cupcake Card

 Hello, Janet here with a sweet birthday card for you.

I stamped the Cupcake with Strawberry using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a die-cut tag. I colored it with copic markers. Next I layered the tag on a dark pink piece of paper slightly larger than the tag. A pink and white ribbon is attached to the tag. I layered it on an angle on polka dot paper. I stamped Happy Birthday from the Father's Day Set 1 with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on white cardstock and die cut it. It is attached in the upper right corner. The polka dot layer is attached to a matching pink paper and onto the card.

Missing You Pig Card

 Hello, Janet here with a heart-warming card for a friend.

I stamped the pig with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a scrap piece of cardstock. I colored him with colored pencils and cut him out. Using a soft brush with yellow and blue ink on white cardstock, I made a sky background with sunshine in the upper left corner. The brick wall was made from an embossing folder and brown ink. I have the pig peeking over the wall. Miss You is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on a white scrap and die cut. I added a dragonfly brad in the upper right corner. The card front is layered on brown cardstock and then onto the card.

Celebrate the 4th of July!

 Hello, Janet here with some fireworks for the 4th!

I started by stamping the sparklers and rockets from the Minion 1 set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. I colored them with colored pencils. Using a stipple brush and red ink, I added some color to the background. I stamped "Happy 4th of July" with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on a scrap piece of cardstock and cut it out. I layered the stamped image on navy paper. Next, I used a larger layer of paper with patriotic stars on it. The last layer is the matching navy paper used earlier.

Patriotic Minion 4th of July

Hello, Crackerbox Stamps fans! 

Toni here and I have a 4th of July card to share with you. 

Can you believe it's only a month away?!

My first step was to stamp out and color up the Minion 1 images.  I drew in lines to make a star spangled banner hat.  For his overalls, I paper-pieced some patterned paper.

I had stamped out the bottle rocket from the set, but lost it along the way, so he's just waving instead of playing with fireworks.  I'm blaming the cat!

And that brings me to the No Good sentiment. I used the same patterned paper behind and cut the sentiment panels with a deckle edge die. I tied it all together using a starry coverplate die on a bright minion yellow. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  I'm also on IG.

Hey! HAY!

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

For this card, using Henrietta on her Nest was a no-brainer—honestly, is there a cuter (or sassier) chicken out there? Whether she’s still searching for love or has already found it, one thing is certain: she’s stealing the spotlight in this fun, farm-inspired scene.

I created a simple sky backdrop and added a few haystacks (including masking some to create depth) to set the scene, giving Henrietta a cozy and lively setting. To add some balance, I combined two different sentiments and included a few extra elements to ground the entire composition. As a final touch, I carried the theme onto the envelope by stamping and masking the haystacks right on the front—because who doesn’t love a little sneak peek before opening the card?

Birthday Cocktails Card

 Hello, Janet here with a refreshing summer birthday card.

I started by stamping two cocktail drinks with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloring them, and cutting them out. Next, I sponged pink and yellow ink on white cardstock. Using designed paper for about 1/3 of the card and the sponged cardstock for the rest, I layered them on pink paper. Wrapped a ribbon between the two papers. I added the cocktails and some yellow gems. Birthday Wishes is stamped with VersaFine Nocturne Ink and fussy cut. I attached it to the top right corner.

Extra Crispy Miss Prissy

My kid sister gave me the idea for this card. She's brilliant and so very creative!

I stamped Miss Prissy onto the card front so I'd know where I would be placing her after coloring and fussy cutting her out. 

I then used a honeycomb stencil with Catherine Pooler and Lisa Horton metallic inks.  I love how that blended and wish I could show you the shimmer, but you know how finicky cameras can be.

I added the die-cut sentiments and had Miss Prissy popping up from behind.  On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Miss Prissy set: "Live today like you're getting fried tomorrow."  Perfect!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  Have a great rest of your day!

Up, Up and Away!

First, I used  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Airliner stamp on white cardstock. Using Copic markers, I colored the plane. Then I used a soft brush to add some light blue to the cardstock. It's Your Birthday is stamped with VersaFine Ink in the upper left corner.  I layered that onto light blue paper.  A gold star brad was inserted into each corner. I cut a piece of light blue star paper and wrapped a wide twine ribbon around it. The stamped image is put on at an angle. Shiny gold foil is the bottom layer.
