Mixed Media Neon Snarky Comic Card

 Hello, crafty friends! Toni here today with a really bright and fun--and, of course, snarky--card!

I created the card front using my Gelli plate and Art by Marlene neon paints. I used a stencil and archival ink to add the dotty pattern.

Next, I stamped Comic Women using Memento Tuxedo Black, leaving it in my MISTI, so that once I was done coloring the image with Copics, I could accurately restamp with Versafine Clair Nocturne (which smears with alcohol ink).  That worked a treat to create a really bold look.

I trimmed that down, added some stenciled dots, and mounted it on black.  To finish up the card, I stamped and embossed Miserable without You.

It is a nice addition to use with the larger flower.

Have you ever felt like this?

Toni masked the image and used 2 stencils for the background.

Snarky Retro 60s Style New Year Card

 Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous card for the New Year or any time.

Talk about simple and quick to make with this one. I stamped the Drinking Couple with Versafine Clair Nocturne and mounted it on black to match the embossed Falling Ice sentiment panel. I mounted these on a hot-foiled card front but you could easily use a piece of patterned paper instead.

 Hello! Nadine here today with a birthday card using some stamps from the Remember the 60s category in the store.

Fun 60s Cards

Hello, Stampers! Today I am sharing some cards that I made using stamps from our Remember The 60s category. My card was fun to make and color. The '60s were full of colors.

The Feeling Groovy saying is fun to color and can be colored in so many different ways. The Pot Leaf comes in 2 sizes. I love the Feet Stamp.  The feet also come in 2 sizes. I have used the feet on so many occasions. 

Here is another card!

This is the card stock I cut the piece out for the saying. I stenciled it and used it on my card. I just covered the cutout area with the orange cardstock. 

The saying, All You Need was stamped on the cutout from the white cardstock. I stamped the 5 Petal Flowers and cut them out. I also stamped the Glasses Round Lg. I cut them out and stamped them on the background of some sticker paper to get the iridescent look.

Peace Card

 Hello, Nadine here today with a Peace card that I made. Not much more needs to be said, other than let there be peace.

This was a simple card to make and gets the point across perfectly. For the background, I used some TCW Colorsparx in a yellow and blue color on watercolor paper and spritzed them with water to get the color explosion.

Stamps Used:
Outline Peace
6 Petal Flowers Set of 3

I stamped the Peace with VersaMark Ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder and then placed a piece of blue transfer foil over it and ran it through a laminating machine. Then using the same two Colorsparx colors, I painted the colors to color in the sentiment letting the colors bleed outside the lines.
On the background, I stamped the 6 Petal Flowers with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with a sparkle embossing powder. You can see them much better in person than you can in the photos.

Hippie Flip Pop Card

Hello everyone! Maria Pilar here sharing another card with the Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps Card Kits. The cards are from The Paper Cut.

For my card, I have created a background using gelatos with a washcloth. My idea was to use the Remember the 60's stamps and that's why I chose very cheerful colors appropriate to the theme.

I stamped on White Smooth Card Stock all the stamps I had chosen: 5 Petal Flowers, 6 Petal Flowers, the small flower heart of Daisy Heart Set of 3, Girl Front and Back, Girls Guitar, Girls Kite and the sentiment Love, Peace, Harmony And after coloring them with alcohol markers, I began to distribute them over the surface of the card.

As you can see, in the center I stamped the girl on one side, completing the decoration with a yellow chevron washi tape and the message stamped on a separate card, surrounded by small flowers, on the other pasting all the elements using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips.

Check out the Card Kits we have for March and stay tuned for upcoming news.

Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend!

I wanted to show you that you can use those pre-cut cards with whatever stamps you have in your stash. 

I first created the rainbow frame with distress inks. I added the flowers from the Flower set.  

I then stamped the cute little girl and colored it with water brush pens and Inktense pencils.

Stamped the inside. I also stamped the kite on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out, so I could have it "fly off" the white inside page.

A Pretty Birthday CAS Card

 Hello everyone! Maria Pilar here with you on this first Friday of Fall! It's time for a birthday CAS card. 

I have made this card using some flowers from the Remember the 60s: 6 Petal Flowers and Doodle Flower, the first ones colored and glued on top of the others.

I made a splash with Stampería's MixMedia AquaColor spray ink in pink on white cardstock before gluing the flowers.

The birthday sentiment Everything Heart Desires is colored with pink Faber Castell gelatos and then I glued it with Crafty Foam Tape after rounding its corners.

To finish, I added a few drops of Liquid Pearls on the surface.

You will be well received on my blog for more details.

Gotta have Peace, Love, and Harmony

 Hello and Happy September!!!  This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness, and I can't believe it is already close to Fall....my favorite season!!  I am so very ready for sweatshirts and pumpkin spice, how about you?  Today I am sharing another card featuring some adorable stamps from the most recent release from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps, Remember the 60's!  I created a double Z-fold slimline card, which I am totally loving the design of!  I will hopefully have a video up soon on how to make this fun fold card over on my YouTube channel.....it just wasn't ready yet at the time of publishing this post.  

I pulled my color inspiration from some fun patterned paper I had in my stash that felt retro to me and went well with my 60's theme.  My focal stamp, Girl with Purse, was colored with Copics and then popped up with foam tape to the from panel of my card.  

I heat embossed the Outline Love and Peace stamps, along with the Harmony sentiment in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and adhered them with liquid glue to the card.  I love how this fun fold "hides" different panels until you open the card....it makes for a fun pop-up surprise! Here is the card completely opened flat, when it is all folded it fits inside a #10 envelope.

 I felt I needed a little more added, so I grabbed the smaller flower stamps from the Daisy heart set of 3 and stamped and colored, then fussy cut them out to add some fun accent areas.  

Final touches included some fun Rainbow Daisy clay flowers, and some rainbow colored rhinestones!  I love me some sparkle!!!  

Over in the Crackerbox and Suzy Flaunt it if You Made it Facebook group there is a monthly cardmaking "theme"  and September's technique of the month is to create a POP UP card! 

 **BONUS** If you combine the technique of the month with a stamp from one of the sale categories, you get a 5.00 store credit towards you next purchase of amazing red rubber goodness!

 

That wraps up my post for today, I will be back here soon with another dose of red rubber inspiration!  Be sure to follow along with me over on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with all my caffeinated adventures!  Till next time, bye!

Summer is coming to an end, although I won't miss the relentless heat and humidity, I must admit.....Anyhow, if you still need some cooling off I have the right card for you. I used the surfboard, boombox, and kite. Paired up with the kite and a matching sentiment. The water is an ancient paper I had in my stash. 

I sponged the surfboard and fuzzy cut it. The rest I colored with markers and water brush pens.

How to Create a Rainbow Background

Happy Monday! Ericka here and I can't believe August is almost over. Today I have a fun rainbow alcohol ink background which goes prefectly with the new 60's release.

I started with Yupo paper and a alcohol blending tool and added stripes of pink, blue and yellow alcohol ink to my felt pad. I swiped the blending tool across my paper to get the fun colorful lines.

 

I stamped the Daisy Heart in Versafine ink and clear heat embossed it. I also stamped the fun Your Kind of Crazy sentiment in the same ink.

 

 I love the bright look of the alcohol ink with these fun stamps.

Feeling Groovy Card by Martha Lucia

Hi there, Martha Lucia here with a Feeling Groovy Card that I made and loved! This is one of the cards that you saw in our special promotion for this month. 

The process to make this card couldn't be more simple! 

The stamps talk by themself and I just stamped the Large Feet onto white card stock and colored the entire image with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. Then, I fussy cut the image with scissors and left aside for a while.

I repeated the process with the sentiment Feelin' Groovy but this time I colored it following the rainbow colors. 

I used an orange card base and pasted over it a white layer that I die cut with the Starry Night Cover Plate. Then I arranged all the stamped pieces with crafting foam tape.

Easy and fun!
