I Didn't Forget Belated Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little birthday card to share. Here are all of the galaxy inspired details.

Crackerbox Stamps Used:

Alien and Spaceship- Set of 2

Didn't Forget Your Birthday

First, I created a blended background using Distress Oxide Inks onto white cardstock. Heavily blending the 3 colors gave me that night sky look. Then I splattered the card front using white Media Gloss Spray. I also added some Stickles for sparkle. Let dry completely.

Stamp the images onto white cardstock using black ink. Add color to the images using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Fussy cut out the images and set them aside for now. 

Using the MISTI and black ink, stamp the sentiment to the card front. Adhere the card front to a white cardstock card base. Add the fussy cut images to the card front using foam squares.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Safari Birthday Card by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today, I want to share a Safari Birthday Card. I am combining several animal stamps with a birthday sentiment on this card. Take a look at my card:

The animal stamps I used on my card are Rafferty the Giraffe and the Monkey Swinging. First, I stamped both images onto a piece of White Smooth Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then, I colored them with TriBlend Markers from Spectrum Noir.

Additionally, I stamped the Happy Birthday Sentiment that you can find in our store as Birthday 6. I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I resized the stamped layer and pasted it over a red card base using crafty foam tape to continue with the card. As a final touch, I die cut a scalloped frame a little smaller than the decorated card base and pasted it over the card with foam tape to give more dimension.

Stamps Used:
Birthday 6
Rafferty the Giraffe
Monkey Swinging

Thanks for stopping by, and remember that Spring is around the corner. You can find a huge collection of stamps perfect for any season and celebration!

See you soon!

Holy Cow! Another Birthday Card

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna here today with a fun slimline birthday card. One of my goals this year is to try and send out more birthday cards.  That translates to me making more birthday cards as well!

  This card was a lot of fun to pull together and features the following stamps from Crackerbox Stamps:

Holy Cow

Cow 2 Bernice

Cow 3 Bella

I started by heat embossing both cows in black embossing powder on white cardstock and then fussy cut them out.  My scene is some scraps I had of some pattern paper--but I could see this easily recreated with an assortment of pattern scraps and maybe this cute barn stamp HERE if you'd like to create something similar.

The Holy Cow sentiment was heat embossed onto a scrap of blue gingham paper to create a "sky" I have the perfect coworker in mind for this card later this year---so in the birthday card file, it goes!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back soon with another red-rubber-inspired project!

Happy Birthday Zap Card

Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun birthday card using the new Cat Sketchy stamp. I love the expression on this stamp and thought it would be perfect for a friend with a birthday this month.

I started with some distress oxide ink blending in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Black Soot on Bristol smooth paper. I then lightly spritzed the paper and lifted off some of the ink. Once my background was dry, I used Carved Pumpkin distress spray and sprayed the middle of my background.

When the background was dry, I used the Cat Sketchy stamp along with the Birthday 11 sentiment and a coming soon speech bubble with the word zap and stamp and clear embossed them. I finished my card by coloring the cat's eyes and ears for a little fun.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Used a stitched die to cut the card a bit smaller and mounted it onto a black background. Added two enamel dots.
