Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
I am a HUGE vintage Halloween fanatic, and these Crackerbox Stamps images give me all the 1940s Halloween decoration vibes! The nostalgia, the spookiness, the vintage charm… I AM HERE FOR IT! Are you?
I colored these spooktacular images with alcohol markers, then added details with watercolor pencils and white gel pens. For the card design, I went with a simple fun fold featuring THREE focal points. Because when you have three fabulous vintage images, why settle for just one? 🧡🖤
Vintage Halloween forever!

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
This is one of those cards that can say SO many things without saying a word. I wanted to create a card full of emotion, and I think this one does just that.
Could it congratulate someone on the arrival of a new baby? Absolutely! Could it be sent to someone who needs a little encouragement while they’re on the mend? Maybe. Could it be from a friend simply offering a helping hand? Of course!
That’s exactly why I left the sentiment off. There are plenty of emotional, sweet, and quirky sentiments in the store, so you can make this card fit just about any occasion.
I colored the images with alcohol markers, then added depth with watercolor pencils and gel pens. And this little scene is a bit of magical masking! There are FOUR stamps hiding in here. I started with Mouse Sitting Up and the Cracked Egg, masked those, then stamped the Solid Egg and Outline Egg to turn them into a balloon. Finally, I added the Sunflower and Mailbox stamp to bring the whole scene together. I did add a bit of shimmer onto the egg shell, I hope you can see it in the closeup pictures.
Who knew a few stamps, some masking, and a little imagination could create a card with so many possibilities?

For this project, I used three fabulous Crackerbox Stamps: Ghost Sketched, Spider Spooky, and Wicked Fun. The ghost helped me complete the cutest little “BOO” sentiment, and honestly, he might be one of my favorites to work with. He’s so easy to color—and even easier to spookify!
To give him a little ghostly glam, I added two-way glue to his eyes and mouth and then pressed on some toner foil. Voila! The coolest foiled-eyed ghost you’ve ever seen was born. The spiders didn’t escape my creative mischief either—they each got a pair of 3mm micro googly eyes, and they couldn’t be more perfectly sized.
As for the background, I went full mixed media mode. I distressed edges, stitched on paper, blended colors, added paste and embossing powder, and, of course, brought in more foil. This card truly has a little bit of everything—and I couldn’t be happier with the spooky, shiny mess that came out of it.
That’s the best part of Halloween crafting—there are no rules. Just weird, wonderful, wicked fun.
What would you have done differently?
There’s something strangely comforting about visiting your special creepy place — that quiet corner of creativity where things get just a little weird. Sometimes, you even light up the room… or at least, the brain in the jar!
This project started with the wonderfully odd Brain in the Jar stamp from Crackerbox Stamps — one of those designs that makes you grin the moment you see it. It’s creepy, it’s quirky, and somehow it just begged to be brought to life.
I began by coloring the brain with alcohol markers, layering soft watercolor pencil shadows to give it that eerie depth, then finished with colored pencils and gel pen highlights to make it pop. Everything was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, crisp and clean against the chaos.
The card itself took on a vintage laboratory feel — like something discovered in an old scientist’s notebook. There’s plenty of texture here: neon pastes, wall tape, and a mix of rough and smooth surfaces that catch the light in unexpected ways. My favorite part? The brain is on tiny hinges and actually opens up to reveal a wicked little message inside.
It’s the kind of project that feels like a mad experiment gone right — part art, part science, and all fun.
So, what do you think? Are we ready to join the crew at the crazy lab?
Hello, Janet here with a fall card. Picking apples is one of my favorite fall activities.
I stamped the basket of apples on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers. Next I stamped the word, Autumn across the top with Clair VersaFine Nocturne Ink. I layered it on black cardstock, and then on black checkered paper. A black ribbon is wrapped around and tied on the left side. The last layered is red with outlines of apples.
