Minion Mischief and Easy Card Backgrounds

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today for Crackerbox Stamps  and I have a brand new card featuring our favorite yellow-banana loving- mischeif makers!! MINIONS!

Today's card features the following stamps:

Fart Gun and Poof

If People are Talking

Sassy Dave

I had a lot of fun coloring Sassy Dave and his Fart Gun!  I fussy cut them both off, cutting around Dave's arm so he could "hold" the Fsrt Gun more effectively *hehe*.  

My background was made by ink Smooshing distress oxides onto watercolor paper.  Oxides are a lot of fun for this technique because they have the ability to "layer" on top of each other since the are somewhat opaque.  The key to not having the colors overman together is allowing the colors to dry before adding one on top.  I used Squeezed Lemonade, Blueprint Sketch, and Lost Shadow to create my background.

Once the background was completely dry I heat embossed my If People are Talking sentiment and stamped the Poof onto the background panel in black and gray inks.  The focal images were added to the panel using liquid adhesive to keep it simpler to mail.  

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Be sure to return again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!

Snarky Marriage Card

 Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun, snarky card for the married people in your life.

 I love the fun Marriage Is Like sentiment, and for my card today, I paired it with the Cards Suit Hand. I used some Lindy's Magical sprays on my background, and once it was dry, white heat embossed the Marriage Is Like sentiment. On a separate piece of paper, I stamped the Cards Suit Hand with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear embossed it. I fussy cut the cards out and attached them to my background with foam tape. Thank you for stopping by, and if you love a little snark, be sure to check out these fun sentiments!

A Winter Slimline card

Hello, Vicky here with a winter sweet friendship card. 

It has been snowing here in Wisconsin, so this should fit the day.

I stamped the saying Igloo Warmth, in the middle first.

The Igloo was stamped with Memento Tuxedo and the gray lines in the ice.

On the right side of the card, I add the Sammy.

The last thing was to add the Snowflakes. I stamped off and then stamped the card. I wanted faint, light snowflakes.

I added white Applique and puffed it up with the heat gun.

Stamp Used:

Igloo Warmth

Igoo

Sammy

Snowflakes

Thanks for taking a look!

Snarky Marriage Card

Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today. I am back with my Crackerbox Stamps post for this week. Crackerbox Stamps recently had a new release with hilariously snarky sentiments. One of which I used here.

For the background, I used patterned paper. I stamped the cards twice on scrap paper and colored them with alcohol ink markers, and cut them out. Added them to the paper and stamped half of the sentiment (I cut the stamp apart, but you can mask it if you don't want to do that). Stamped the heart and diamond and cut them out, and added them as well. Stamped the rest of the sentiment into the inside of my card.

The stamps I used (different options):

Cards suits solid and Marriage is Like

Card suits open and Marriage is like

Card Suits Hand and Card Suits open

Card Suits Hand and Card Suits solid

Card Suits Hand 

Card Suits set of 2

Masculine Valentine For A Sweetheart

Hello Craft Friend. I am Vicky, and this is a card I made for my husband. He likes trucks, and the older, the better. I like this truck because Crackerbox has many things that you can put in the back of the truck. I decided to put in the heart candy.

I masked Candy Heart Med. set of 4 to put in the back of the truck. The way I colored the Big Tree 2 was to dot different shades of green rather than coloring it in solid.

I used the Candy Hearts Sm. set of 2 on the door and put our initials in it.

Stamps Used:

Forever and Ever

Big Tree 2

Truck Side View

Candy Hearts Med. set of 4

Happy Anniversary!

Hello everyone! I'm Maria Pilar and I hope you are well. Today I have an anniversary CAS card.

On a white card, I applied foil to the Peony lg. stamp with the WRMemoryKeepers Foil Quill Freestyle by stamping it on top of the foil sheet. I took the opportunity to make some doodles around the peony.

On the other hand, I added the Happy Anniversary vertical stamp using Distress Victorian Velvet gluing a heart-shaped sequin between the two words.

I think it doesn't need any more decoration to get what I wanted: an elegant anniversary card.

I invite you to my blog for more details.

Remember that this month the categories in the promotion are: Anniversary, Animals and Food. In addition, if you share with us in the Facebook group a card where you use the promotional categories, you will have a $ 5 voucher to use in the Crackerbox & Suzy stamps store.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
