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.

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!

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.

Hello, my friends, and happy summer!
Toni here with you today, and Clara and I are ready to par-te! Are you?
Toni here with you today, and Clara and I are ready to par-te! Are you?
Let's jump right into how I made my card.
I sponged a vibrant red ink onto the card front using a sailboat stencil. I then added a kraft-colored strip at the bottom to represent sand.
Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail using Copics. This image is soooo relatable in my dotage--LOL. I popped her up and added the embossed Life's Too Short Saying sentiment panel.

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.

Crafting the Perfect 4th of July Card
Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I’m excited to share a quick and festive 4th of July card I crafted using some amazing stamps and Magicals from Lindy's Gang. Let's dive into the process and the fun I had creating this patriotic card!
For this card, I combined the vibrant colors of Lindy's Gang Magicals with the adorable 4th of July Kids stamps, along with the bold God Bless America and Happy 4th Big sentiments. The result? A card that's bursting with patriotic pride and perfect for celebrating Independence Day!
Step-by-Step Process
Creating the Watercolor Background: I started by applying Lindy's Gang Magicals in Autumn Maple Crimson and Tibetan Poppy Teal to create a stunning watercolor background. These magical powders add a beautiful shimmer and vibrant color that instantly make the card pop. After letting the background dry completely, I was ready to add the next layers of detail.
Heat Embossing the Images: Once the background was dry, I stamped the 4th of July Kids images onto the card. Using white embossing powder, I heat embossed these images, giving them a crisp and clean appearance that contrasts beautifully against the colorful backdrop. The white embossing adds a touch of elegance and ensures the images stand out.
Adding Sentiments: Next, I incorporated the bold God Bless America and Happy 4th Big sentiments. These sentiments are perfect for a 4th of July card, adding a strong and celebratory message. I chose to emboss these in white as well to maintain a cohesive look.
Drawing the Frame and Adding Stars: To complete the card, I hand drew a simple frame around the edges. This helps to pull everything together and adds a finished look. For an extra touch of patriotism, I added a couple of hand-drawn stars. These little details make the card feel complete and add to the overall festive theme.
Thank you for joining me today! I can't wait to see what patriotic projects you all come up with. Until next time, keep crafting and have a Happy 4th of July!

Break The Rules -- Unexpected Use of Scraps Card
Hello! This is Shanna with another fun card featuring products from Crackerbox Stamps!
Ever have a vision for a card, and halfway through, something changes your direction? That was this card for me!
Ever have a vision for a card, and halfway through, something changes your direction? That was this card for me!
Today's card features the following stamps:
I started out by stamping and coloring the Rosie stamp and die cutting her out with a circle die. My original vision for the card was a "angled gatefold" card--which is a card that has angled edges on both gatefold closure panels. I was excited! Then the math didn't. math right for me lol--and I was left with the blue panel you see on the background of the card.. Oddly shaped, and I had no clue what to do with it! Then I decided to see what it looked like placed on a standard A2 card panel--and this design was born.
I used the anchor stamp and white pigment ink to add a background pattern to the blue cardstock piece, and then stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner using red ink. I popped on a few red pearl embellishments to finish it off and we were done!
I rarely throw much away--thinking I will use it *eventually* -- I was super excited to see that work out for the better today!
Thanks so much for dropping by, see you again soon!

Let Your Dreams Take Flight Patriotic Card
Hi Everybody!Cornelia here today. I let myself be inspired by July 4th for this card. After all, it's coming up soon.
I stamped the American flag first. I then masked it and stamped the white firework with Versamark and heat embossed it with clear, sparkly embossing powder, which unfortunately doesn't show in the picture. Then added the dark blue fireworks and the sentiment.
The stamps I used:

4th of July Parade Shaker Card
Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun 4th of July shaker card using the 4th of July Kids stamp. I love this fun stamp, and it reminds me of our yearly 4th of July neighborhood parade.
I stamped the Happy 4th Big sentiment, and white heat embossed it on my red cardstock. I die-cut an opening on the cardstock and then glued a piece of clear plastic to the opening. I lined the plastic with some foam tape and added my fun sequins from my stash. I stamped the 4th of July Kids stamp in Versafine Clair Twilight and clear embossed it, and added it to the back. I attached my shaker to a card base to finish up my card. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

4th of July Flag Card
Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a quick card I made with the American Flag Artsy for a 4th of July card.
This was an easy card to make using Distress Ink in Prize Ribbon and Festive Berries. I simply took my ink pads and swiped them on my cardstock till I was happy with the coverage. I stamped the American Flag Artsy, and clear heat embossed the image. I then used the Happy 4th of July and God Bless America sentiments and white heat embossed them. I finished my card with some blue and red sequins and added some silver stars. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you are having a great summer!

Patriotic Let Your Dreams Take Flight Card
Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today. In honor of July 4th, I made a card, using some older Crackerbox Stamps.
I first stamped the flag, inking the stars in with some dark blue and the rest in a very muted dark red. Stamped the sentiment. Added the Statue of Liberty using a stencil. I went over the stripes in the torch with white, as to not have the stripes shine through too much. Brushed the body of the Liberty lady with whatever color was left on my brush (did a little bit of masking to not brush outside the figure. Took a fine liner pen and doodled the frame and doodled a bit around the Liberty Lady for more contrast.

Happy 4th of July Card
Hello! Nadine here today sharing a patriotic 4th of July card.
I inked up the American Flag Artsy with some blue and red ink and then sprayed it with some water before inking it onto my paper. I wanted it to have watercolor look to it. Once it was dry, I stamped over the flag again with VersaMark and heat embossed it with some sparkle embossing powder.
Then, I randomly stamped the Fireworks around the flag using VersaMark and sprinkled some red, blue, and gold embossing powder on them, and heat embossed them.
For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy 4th of July stamp with VersaMark and heat embossed it with red embossing powder. Then I lightly flicked on some blue ink and mounted it to gold glitter cardstock and then to my card base.

4th of July Flag Card
Hello friends, Ericka here and we are getting ready for the 4th of July here and I used some great stamps to create my card.
I started out using my MISTI with the American Flag Artsy and colored the flag with red and blue with my watercolor markers. I lightly spritzed the stamp and pressed it onto my cardstock.
I repeated the same step with the United We Stand and Happy 4th of July sentiments. I love the two-tone look of this technique.
I finished my card by adding some star sequins randomly to my card. All in all, this was a super quick card to make. Thanks
for stopping by and I hope you have a chance to play with this great new release!
