Elegant Wheat Thanksgiving Cards
Hello, friends! Toni here sharing a couple of elegant and simple Thanksgiving cards.
For my first card I stamped the Wheat using Catherine Pooler Tutti Frutti and Orange Twist. I didn't worry about removing the color between stampings nor making sure everything was perfectly aligned so there's a bit of variation which adds to the homemade quality.
I finished the card by stamping and embossing Happy Thanksgiving in gold on a panel with gold washi edges.

One Lonely Leaf
Happy fall! Janet here with a fall card that I made for my husband. He is obsessed with getting every leaf raked up!
I started this adorable card with a small piece of white cardstock. I stamped the Tree and Guy with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it with copic markers. A red oval frame is laid over it. Next I stamped the front of the card with red and brown leaves using the Leaf Double stamp. Then I used the stipple brush to add some red and brown to the background. I attached the framed image to the center of the card front.

Cute & Humorous Thanksgiving Card
Hello, friends! Toni here sharing a humorous Thanksgiving card.
I stamped the Turkey Goofy image directly onto card front cut from Copic-friendly cardstock and colored him up with Copics.
Next I added a strip of leftover 6x6 cardstock to ground him. I embossed the Nibble Nibble and Go Pluck Yourself sentiments white on black cardstock and placed them so the turkey could be surprised then absolutely indignant that someone wants to eat him. LOL.

Simple Autumn Season Card
Hi, friends! Toni here with you today sharing a seasonal autumn card.
I stamped Skeleton Leaf 2 in a variety of shades of Catherine Pooler inks, sometimes off-stamping to lighten the color. By the way, there a few different skeleton type leaves in the shop.
I didn't want to cover up the background so embossed the Autumn Dancing sentiment in gold on vellum and used my sewing machine to attach it to the panel.

Minions Halloween Fun-Fold & Snarky Christmas Cards
Hello, my friends! Toni here with you today sharing a couple of cards using Minion characters from the new red rubber release. Let me show you but first take a look at all the cuteness!
My first project is a fun-fold Halloween card. I started my card by creating an easel very simply using an A2 card base where I scored the front at the halfway point, 2-1/8", in this case, and folded it into a mountain.In order for the easel to stay upright, you need to add a little berm on the interior of the card that the front can rest against. I used a piece of designer paper along with a strip of black glitter washi I had adhered to a piece of black cardstock to give it a bit more height. I embossed the Don't Scare Me sentiment in white and added a couple of spider enamel dots.
As for the speech bubbles, I printed those on my laser printer with Aptos size 9 font, printed with white text on a black fill. They add a bit of extra fun.
For the Christmas card, I stamped Reindeer Stuart using Memento Tuxedo Black and masked the left antler before stamping Blowing Snowflakes. I colored him up with Copics then added a snowy hill and the hilarious Winter Lovers sentiment balanced out by Snowflake Trio.

Trick or Treat! A head start on Halloween card
Hello and welcome! This is Shanna today with a fun HALLOWEEN card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps! Is anyone else ready for Fall to hurry up and get here? This California girl is ready to be d-o-n-e with the heat! Halloween crafting is one of my favorites, so I pulled out my favorite Halloween kid stamps and had some masking fun for today's card!
Kid Dracula
Kid Mummy
Kid Frankenstein
Kid Witchy
Kid Vamp
Happy Halloween
I started off with my card by stamping my trick-or-treating gang using the masking technique. To somewhat explain, you start my stamping the image you want to be "in front" of the others, and then cover it with a mask--a fussy cut removable adhesive copy--and then stamp the next images and repeat! I have had this card in my head for a long time and was excited to see it come to life on paper!
While my masks were still applied over the images, I ink-blended my ground and sky by using masking tape to create a line to blend below and then moving it so I could blend above. A cheap way to keep a crisp horizon line with ink blending!
After my ink blending, I removed the masks and then got to coloring with my Copics! I love coloring, so this was right up my alley!
The card was finished by stamping the Happy Halloween sentiment onto my ground layer.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I will see you all again soon with another Crackerbox Stamps, inspired project! ~Shanna

Autumn Speedy Recovery Card
Hello, crafty friends! Ericka here and today I have a card I made for a friend who is feeling a bit under the weather.
