Girls just want to have fun!

 Hello, Janet here with a pretty pink golf card. I made it for my niece who is enjoying the summer golfing with the girls.
I stamped the golf bag on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the bag with copic markers. The sentiment and Fore are stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink, directly on the white cardstock. With only a slightly larger piece of lime green cardstock I layered the stamped white cardstock on to it. Then onto the designed paper for a bold finish.

Silly Alien


Hello, I stamped the Alien image on white cardstock and then cut it out using a stitched rectangle die. After coloring him, I drew a square around him and colored it in with a black marker. I layered some star pattern paper onto a green card base. I stamped the sentiment with black ink. To finish the card, I added three orange star embellishments. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day,

A Cup Full of Vintage Charm

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!  

New day, new cup of coffee! You guys know how much I love paper piecing the Coffee Cup Top View Stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and this time I dressed it up with a beautiful vintage rose pattern. From there, the entire card naturally took on a charming vintage vibe.

For the background, I used the Coffee 3 Clear Stamp Set along with the Coffee Bean Set of 2 to add layers of coffee-themed goodness. A few pieces of ephemera, some mixed media touches, and plenty of creative love brought everything together into this cozy, coffee-inspired card.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (clear), die-cuts, rectangle dies, ribbon, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Play Ball!

 Hello, Janet here with a baseball card. Baseball is in full swing now! I am sure someone would enjoy getting this card.
I stamped the baseball, mitt, and bat with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them and cut them out. Next, I made the baseball diamond. I cut out a green square and notched it out for the bases and home plate. The bases and home plate are cut out of white cardstock. I attached that to brown for the outfield. The brown is placed on a green embossed layer. Using a soft brush and brown ink, I smudged the edges. I attached the baseball, mitt, and bat to the front of the card. Have a ball is stamped in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on white cardstock and die-cut.

Drifted Into Elegance

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

This elegant look came together completely by accident. I was planning to color the image with colored pencils, but after stamping and masking, I fell in love with the soft look of it just as it was. So instead, I reached for my Pitt Pastel pencils and gave them a try. The result feels dreamy and effortless, like a salty breeze drifting through a quiet coastal morning. This beachy scene was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Coffee, Cocoa & Crafty Deals!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Hola, coffee lovers! Maybe your cup is filled with tea leaves, cinnamon, cocoa, or espresso strong enough to wake the neighbor’s cat. Whatever your cozy potion of choice, now is the time to stock up because all coffee, tea, and cocoa-themed stamps are currently 25% OFF at the Crackerbox Stamps store!

And yes... that includes Coffee Set #3, the newest addition to the coffee-themed clear sets family. This card was brewed with that set plus a few extra goodies that are also on sale right now, making the whole project feel like a crafty café table exploded in the best possible way. 

Warm drinks, inky fingers, and stamp sets with personality? That sounds like a pretty delicious combo to me.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (golden and black iridescent), die-cuts, bulb pin, circle dies, ribbon, pattern paper, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Card No. 2 features the new Coffee Lovers #3, and I am absolutely loving the vintage charm of this design. I used one of the larger sentiments to create a full background across the entire card panel, giving it lots of texture and interest. The finishing touches of paint splatters, washi tape, and vintage trims brought everything together like the perfect cup of aged espresso. 

CLOSE UP for card No. 1

I'm Hooked On You

Hello, I was inspired by the background paper for today's card. I colored the hair and tail of the Mermaid Ruby Swimming By stamp with glitter gel pens. I used alcohol markers for her face and arms. I stamped the
Hooked On You sentiment, and layered it on top of cardstock that I also colored with the gel pens. Next I colored the Heart Dangle Left stamp and adhered everything to the card base. I finished the card by adding some gold enamel dots. Thank you for stopping by.

From Sun Stamp to Bloom: Where New Ideas Take Root

Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!
This is the card where the Sun Drawing Stamp first quietly reinvented itself as a blooming flower!

I used a Candy Hearts sentiment as the center, and from there, everything else just unfolded like petals deciding they wanted to be something new. Once that shift happened, the ideas didn’t just appear, they sprouted—one after another—until the whole design felt like it had been waiting for this transformation all along.

That’s the magic of a single stamp: it’s never just one thing. It’s a seed with a thousand possible directions, and sometimes it only takes a small twist to watch an entirely new garden begin to grow.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Yellow ink, Pink Ink, border dies, pattern papers, gauze, and wall tape

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:

Additional Supplies: Yellow, Green, Orange, and Pink Inks, and Black Embossing Powder

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.

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.

Spring is in the air!

                     Hello, Janet here with a s spring card. The yellow flowers are blowing in the air.
I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on 3 small squares of cardstock. They are colored with copic markers and then layered onto slightly larger black cardstock squares. They are randomly placed on a 3 x 4 1/2 piece of white cardstock. Layer that on a slightly larger piece of black cardstock. Set that aside. Cut another piece of black to cover the front of the card. I layered a smaller piece of yellow-and-white striped paper on top of that. Then attach the top part at an angle to the card. I tied a black and white checked bow and added a few black embellishments. Inside, I stamped the Friends Are Like Flowers verse with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

I stamped the pig, hay bale, and the milk can with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on scrap cardstock. They are colored with Copic Markers and cut out. I chose a designed paper that looks like a barnyard fence and the floor of a barn. I attached the pig to look like he is peeking in the barn. The milk can and the bales of hay are on the barn floor. The word "Hey" is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and die cut. I attached it at an angle to the top-right corner. The bottom layer is black cardstock.

Little Critter, Big Attitude

Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

There is something magical about rescuing a book that looks like it has been gently set aside by the world. Finding a Little Critter treasure by Mercer Mayer in the discard pile at the thrift store felt like destiny tapping me on the shoulder.

I honestly stood there wondering how on earth it ended up there. Into my cart it went, and yes, I absolutely whispered to it that it was about to be loved and given a brand-new chapter in its life. 

This is the second project I have made with it, and I have to say, upcycling a childhood classic has a special kind of sparkle. I paired those sweet, nostalgic images with a few Crackerbox Stamps sentiments to give Mom a slightly… upgraded way to express her feelings. Let’s just say it might be the version of motherhood that includes raised eyebrows and perfectly timed side eye. LOL!!!

There is something so fun about blending innocent storybook charm with a sentiment that has just a pinch of sass. It feels like giving Little Critter a grown-up sense of humor while still keeping that cozy heart intact.

I hope you like this second life project as much as I loved rescuing and reinventing it. Sometimes the best art starts in the discard pile.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Mercer Mayer illustration, brown chalk ink, embossing ink, and white embossing powder.

Cinderella Shoes

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. 
Who doesns't love the Cinderella story, and the movie?
Doesn't a new pair of shoes make you happy?
Cinderella's shoes stand for a magical transformation, love, and your future.
And the right pair of shoes can change your life, rags to riches.
I think this Cinderella saying has a good, positive outcome. 
The base card is coral, and then there is olive green. Printed cardstock is on top, and I used some of these colors for the back of the images and the saying.
The Betty image is available in 2 sizes. I used the small one.
