Sunshine Simplicity

   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Sometimes simple cards carry the brightest glow. This card features the beautiful sun drawing stamp from Crackerbox Stamps. I am absolutely loving the carved, print-block feel of the design. The warm ink colors against the peach cardstock layers feel like bottled sunshine on paper.

To finish it off, I stamped the “Day Filled With Sunshine” sentiment in Versafine Nocturne ink, heat embossed it for that crisp shine, and added a few pearls for the final little sparkle. Clean, cheerful, and ready to brighten someone’s mailbox.

Supply List:

Sun Drawing

Day Be Filled With Sunshine

Versafine Nocture Ink

You Make Me Smile

Hello, for today's card, I started with a white card base. Next, I die cut a stitched rectangle to layer onto the card base. On the yellow layer, I stamped the You Make Me Smile sentiment stamp in black. I also stamped the Banana Bunch and Banana Single stamps randomly in yellow ink for a tone-on-tone look. I die cut a wonky circle from textured blue cardstock. I stamped and colored the Stuart Smirking stamp and added him on top of the blue circle. To finish the card, I added three clear sequins. Thanks for stopping by, and have a nice day.

Turning Sunshine Into Sunflowers

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Mother’s Day is peeking around the corner like a deadline in glitter-covered shoes, and I am still over here making cards that actually need to survive the postal system. 

This one, though, might be one of my favorites. I made it especially for my mom, and I really hope she loves it as much as I loved creating it. I used the sun stamp from Crackerbox Stamps in a completely different way, turning it into a bright sunflower for the focal point. The center uses a sentiment stamp, while the background is filled with the Mother’s Day definition stamp, adding layers of meaning and texture.

A little bit floral, a little bit vintage dictionary page energy, and fully made with love.

A Card For Nurses Week

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today to share a thank you to a nurse.

The nurses give so much to their patients, dedicating their time, energy, and compassion to ensure they receive the best care possible. They are the unsung heroes of the healthcare system, often going above and beyond to make a difference in people's lives. Here is a card to thank a nurse for all she/he does, a small token of appreciation for their tireless efforts and selfless dedication.

This is a pretty simple card. I have a back panel that I adhered to a white card.

A blue panel was put on the black, and then my white card.

I masked the saying and put the first part of the saying on the scrub top, and the rest of the saying beside the scrub top. The saying has a small gap between the top and the bottom.

There is another scrub top style.

Stamps Used:

Scrub Top With Heart

Nurses Mask, Stethoscope, Syringe

Not All Superheroes

Thank you to all of the First Responders!

A Definition Of A Mother

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today. 

I'm so excited to share with you a Mother's Day card I created that features the heartwarming definition of a mother. I used a Magnolia stamp, which symbolizes beauty, strength, and resilience. It's a thoughtful way to express gratitude and appreciation for all that they do.

I stamped the Mother Definition, cut it out with a die, and drew a frame around it.

I am not sure why the camera didn't capture the shading of the flower and the background.

The Magnolia Stellata is the flower I used, and I colored it.

Mother's Day Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today.

Do you know any of those amazing moms who have 4-legged kids, like furry friends who are always by their side and bring so much joy to their lives? I think they, too, deserve a very special Happy Mother's Day. Since we use our cell phones a lot to capture and share those precious moments, I used our cell phone stamp on this card to make it even more personalized and thoughtful. And the best part is that there are many other messages you can put on the phone to make it extra special, such as 'Pawsome Mom' or 'Fur-Ever Grateful' - the possibilities are endless!

I stamped the Cell Phone on printed paper, because we usually have cell phone covers.

I stamped the cell phone again on white and cut out the phone screen part.

Spot The Dog was stamped on the bottom of the screen and colored.

The saying, Best Dog Mom was stamped with VersaFine.

I stamped the Dog Paws with VersaFine Acorn ink across the card.

Happy Mother's Day was stamped and mounted.

Product Used

We also have hashtag saying sets for the cell phone

Thanks for stopping and taking a look!

Have a great day!

Next I did repeat stamping of the rose from the Mother Set 1 stamp set on a layer slightly smaller than the base. Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set. I turned the layer over and dry embossed some lines around the edges. To finish my card, I added three gold enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Snarky Looney Toons Card

Hello, friends! Toni here today with a snarky card inspired by old school Looney Toon cartoons. Does Foghorn Leghorn ring a bell for you?

First, I sponged the background with Catherine Pooler inks and spattered it with water.  While that dried, I colored up the rooster.

I laid out the various pieces of  the scenes, having particular fun assembling the "I say" catchphrase in conjunction with the fabulous "Go Pluck Yourself" sentiment.

I hope this card gave you a great chuckle!  Thanks for stopping by.

Let The Fire Move You

Hi crafty friends, for today's card I started with a purple card base. I stamped the 

Some Women Built From Fire stamp in purple ink on light pink paper and cut around the words with scissors. Next I stamped and colored the Dolly stamp with alcohol markers and cut her out leaving a white border. I cut out a gold frame and glued acetate to the back of it. I used foam tape behind the frame and I added some shaker bits. I added a flame piece of paper to close the shaker and glued it to the card base. Lastly, I used double sided tape to adhere the image and sentiment to the front of the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Believe In Magic And Fairies

 Hello Stampes. Vicky here today with a magical fairy.

Do you believe in magic and fairies? Long ago, it was said that fairies could be found wherever imagination thrived. This card features a beautiful fairy, captured in a rare, mesmerizing instant. There is power in her magic, a sense that she belongs to a world just out of reach. Perhaps she’s not truly captured at all—perhaps she’s simply allowing herself to be seen.

I started with a dark blue card.

I used the Bowl & Cork without the cork, upside down. I did some shading with a blue Copic marker.

I stamped the saying, Believe In Magic with VersaFine.

I added the Dancing Fairy in the bowl. I colored her wings with blue and yellow Copic markers.

The Star Swirl was added at the tip of her fingers. I used yellow and blue markers and glitter glue.

Stamps Used:

Bowl

Saying

Star Swirl

Dancing Fairy

Believe in magic!

When Die Cuts Meet Stamps Magic Happens

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Sometimes stamps are the perfect way to spruce up a die cut. I got this balloon cover plate as a gift from a friend, and I LOVE it… but how many times can I really use patterned paper for the balloons before it starts feeling a little “been there, done that”?
Today I switched it up and stamped my own balloon designs instead! Now I can make them elegant, bold, or totally custom, depending on who the card is for.
My sister’s birthday is coming up, and even though pink is definitely not her favorite color, I know she’s going to love this card because it’s unique… just like she is. 
I used the Single Bloom stamp from Crackerbox Stamps to give the balloons a more elevated, almost grand feel, and finished it off with my favorite Birthday sentiment.

Supply List:

Single Bloom

Birthday 1

Additional Supplies: Brown Ink, Balloon Coverplate, pearls, blue ink, cloud stencil, and blender brush.

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

The Best Things In Life

I cut out a stitched circle from vellum paper and glued the image on top of it. Thanks so much for stopping by.
