Fun Elephant Birthday Card

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here sharing a cheerful and sassy birthday card.

Today's card was really fun to make. The Birthday Elephant image pairs perfectly with the Birthday Set 2 sentiment, doesn't it? I colored up and die-cut the pair, then mounted it on a foil panel. This panel was then placed on top of a hot-foiled panel, which was placed on top of another foil panel. Sassy and fun!

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.

Humorous Kinky Chicken Card

 Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today with bedroom humor card featuring Chicken on Nest Henrietta.

I started my card by scoring an aqua blue cardstock panel using my score board.  Next I spattered it with Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge. While that was drying, I colored up Henrietta using Copics then fussy cut her out.

I cut out a few hexagons, adhering Henrietta to one and stamping part of the Use a Feather sentiment on another.

I stamped the second half of the sentiment on the inside of the card along with the Chicken Standing image. I love the expression on its face.  LOL!

Grinch Christmas in July

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today with a holiday card featuring the Grinch. Well, not the Grinch but instead his favorite buddy, Max.

I stamped and colored the glass and lights from the Glass and Get Lit set. I used Copics and then applied ink to the lights with a small round brush. The lights also have glossy accents.

I then colored up Max from the Grinch and Max set. I thought his expression looked a little derpy drunk, so I thought he was perfect to include on the card.

The final touches on the card included sponging ink along the bottom edges and stamping the Glass and Get Lit sentiment.  Cute and fun, right?

Copic Frog Birthday Balloon Card

Hi everyone!  Toni here sharing a cute birthday or congratulations card.  Ooh, or graduation!  I love it when a card can work for multiple occasions!

I first stamped out one of the frog images from the Frog 1 photopolymer set then masked its right side and stamped the balloons from Birthday Set 2 so they would appear behind.  I colored everything up with Copics.

Next I diecut some balloons and sponged them using Distress Oxides with their edges darkened by Catherine Pooler Inks. I had originally planned on having the sentiment on the green balloon in the back but thought the balance was off so instead embossed the Birthday Set 2 sentiment on a black strip and used it as grounding for the frog.

Be sure to check out the 4th of July sale.  It includes everything not already on sale.  Woo hoo!

UnFROGettable June 12 Sketches | 24 Cards series

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna here today and I am excited to show you all the next installment in my 2024 12 Sketches | 24 Cards series with Crackerbox Stamps!  

Today's cards both feature the new photopolymer Frogs Set 1 stamp set and the following sketch that I found on Pinterest.

This month I decided to show you how I can use a sketch concept in it's literal sense---and how I might turn a sketch into a fun fold card too!

Here is my first card, which is a conventional A2 top folding note card that I modeled after the sketch using some pattern paper in my stash and Frog Set 1.

I kept this design pretty simple and chose not to color at all--rather I heat embossed my frog and my sentiment onto the green pattern paper with some black embossing powder.  I love the texture you get with heat embossing!

For my second card--I transformed the sketch into a fin fold by making a gate gold card instead of a folded notecard like card 1 was.  I split the cardstock between the top and bottom sections, and then added the top but only adhered it to the top "flap".  It created a vertical gatefold card that is SO FUN!  

I was even able to hide my sentiment under the frog layer!

Thanks so much for dropping by today--be sure to check out the links below to take a look back at the rest of the sketch series so far this year!

Snarky Summer Stenciled Card

Hi, friends! Toni here with another underwater scene with summer just around the corner.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Simon Hurley Neon Lunar Paste to create the background. The luster and brightness are amazing.

I wanted to cover as little of that fab background as possible so cut out bubbles using vellum, embossing More Fingers on the largest.  I then Copic-colored and fussy cut Deeva the Octopus, nestling her among the bubbles.
