Tulip Bunny Birthday Card

Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today with my Crackerbox Stamps post for this week.

I first stamped the Bunny and then masked him. Stamped the Tulips. Colored loosely with water brush pens. Added the sentiment and lots of little dots. Trimmed the card and attached a strip of patterned paper to the bottom of my card base. This would also work for Easter or some other occasions. Just use a different sentiment.

The stamps I used:

Tulips

Hello Crafters! Today, Vicky is here with a fish card that could be used for a kid's or fisherman's cards.

We have a lot of fish stamps at 50% off.

I started at the bottom. The Coral was stamped first, then the Sea Plant. Since he is a little bigger, Marco The Sea Turtle came next. Isn't he cute? Fish Strip is facing Marco. Fish Dot is happily swimming around. The last thing stamped was the Bubbles Med. I masked a couple of the bubbles on the right. Then I colored in the sand with Copic Markers.

The last thing I did was add the saying, Fish In The Sea.

25 Again Snarky 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.

 

I used a background paper from my stash (brayer clean up paper...). I brushed around the edges to give it a bit more color depth. I stamped Sassy Cindy on scrap paper and colored her with alcohol ink markers, and cut her out. Die cut the speech bubble twice and stamped the 25 Again sentiment inside. I brushed the edges of the bottom bubble with the same color I used for brushing the bottom of my card. Added them with a bit of an offset.

25 Again Fish Bowl Birthday Card

Hello! Nadine here today with a fun fish bowl birthday card.

I first stamped the Fish Bowl and then stamped the Bernice Angel Fish inside the bowl. Then I stamped the Dot Splatters in blue ink to make them look like bubbles coming from the fish. I then colored all the images with Copic Markers and then fussy cut out the fish bowl.
Next, I stamped the 25 Again sentiment on a piece of white cardstock for my card front. Then using an embossing folder, I embossed the card's front piece and lightly ran some champagne colored metallic ink over the raised embossed areas. Matted the card front with some orange cardstock and adhered it to my card base, and added the fishbowl just below the sentiment.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday Open sentiment and colored it with Copic Markers.

Immature Forever Slimline Giraffe Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with an immature forever slimline giraffe card that is perfect for a birthday.

I first die cut out the card front using white cardstock and then matted it with some leaf patterned paper and then some orange patterned paper. Then using two square dies, I cut out the squares in the card front. Using another piece of white cardstock and making sure it was big enough to fit behind the two square cutouts and then lightly traced the squares onto it. Next, I stamped the Rafferty The Giraffe onto the white cardstock piece using the traced lines to gauge where to stamp him. Around the giraffe image, I ink blended some green ink and colored the giraffe with Copic Markers. Then attached the giraffe piece to the back of the card front so the giraffe was looking through the square windows and attached the entire card front to a card base. Then stamped the Immature Forever sentiment above the giraffe on the card front using green and black ink.

Quick and Easy Harry Potter Birthday Card

Hello and welcome! This is Shanna today with a *magical* card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. I needed a birthday card for a sweet friend who also happens to love all things, Harry Potter. So it was a no-brainer when I reached for my collection of HP-inspired stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!

STAMPS USED:

Glasses & Lightning bolt - set of 3

HP Initials

Hogwarts Wax Seal

Letter of Hogwarts

Owl Flying Post Stamp

Owl Post Words

My Sweet Friend

Or you can view the entire Harry Potter Stamp Collection.

This card is a mini-slimline card measuring 3"x6". The background is actually a print I made after using a polka dot stencil in my stash to make a background--I spritzed the stencil with water after using it while it still had the ink on it and then pressed a piece of cardstock on it to collect the ink! I love getting two backgrounds with one stencil!

Next, I took black ink and stamped the assorted HP stamps all over the panel. My sentiment was heat embossed on a black circle die cut I cut in half and then adhered to the panel. Overall, the card came together really quick, and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks so much for joining me today--I hope to see you all again soon.

~Shanna
