One Layer Snarky Lady Card

Hello, friends! 
Toni here with you today sharing a sassy any occasion card that's perfect for your gal pals.

I stamped Lady Stella Laughing and colored her up using Copics.  I had originally planned to fussy cut her out to layer her on some bright background but really liked how she looked on the white cardstock so made this into a one layer card with the last step of stamping the Laugh Cackle sentiment. Easy!

The sale on the Ladies category goes through February 20 so you still have a little time to snag some great stamps including the one I used here.  Happy shopping!

Thanks a Minion!!

 

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with another fun project featuring stamps from     Crackerbox Stamps!

Today’s project is a quick and easy one featuring the following products:

Minion 1 Clear Polymer Stamps Set 

Thanks a Minion

The card was created using a “spare” background from my pile of gel press prints I tend to have in a drawer lol.  When I use my gel plates I make a lot of prints—but don’t use them all. So I cut them down to A2 size and they are my go to when I am stuck on what type of background I want for a card. I loved how the inky blue worked with the Minion in this case. The colored him with my Copic markers and the fussy cut him out. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the background.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you all again soon

Elegant Lady Card

Hello Stampers. 

Vicky is here to share a card with an elegant Deco lady that can be used for many occasions.  

I stamped the Deco Women and colored her with Copic markers, then I fussy cut her out.

The frame is a die-cut from my stash, which I mounted on gold cardstock. I added the lady to the gold cardstock. 

I had a white ribbon, which I colored in the middle for the top ribbon, and the sides to the bottom ribbon were the same blue I used on the lady. I wrapped the ribbon around the brown cardstock.

I mounted the frame with Deco Lady on brown textured cardstock. 

I had some flowers that I also colored with the marker.

I used a button for the middle of the flower, which I also colored.

The center of the flower is a brad, which I attached to the flower.

Hope you like the card.

You could add lines and write your own message.
