Patriotic Minion 4th of July

Hello, Crackerbox Stamps fans! 

Toni here and I have a 4th of July card to share with you. 

Can you believe it's only a month away?!

My first step was to stamp out and color up the Minion 1 images.  I drew in lines to make a star spangled banner hat.  For his overalls, I paper-pieced some patterned paper.

I had stamped out the bottle rocket from the set, but lost it along the way, so he's just waving instead of playing with fireworks.  I'm blaming the cat!

And that brings me to the No Good sentiment. I used the same patterned paper behind and cut the sentiment panels with a deckle edge die. I tied it all together using a starry coverplate die on a bright minion yellow. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  I'm also on IG.

Extra Crispy Miss Prissy

My kid sister gave me the idea for this card. She's brilliant and so very creative!

I stamped Miss Prissy onto the card front so I'd know where I would be placing her after coloring and fussy cutting her out. 

I then used a honeycomb stencil with Catherine Pooler and Lisa Horton metallic inks.  I love how that blended and wish I could show you the shimmer, but you know how finicky cameras can be.

I added the die-cut sentiments and had Miss Prissy popping up from behind.  On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Miss Prissy set: "Live today like you're getting fried tomorrow."  Perfect!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  Have a great rest of your day!

Pretty Pink Mother's Day Card

 Hello, Janet here with a pretty pink floral card for Mom.

I started with a die cut circle and stamped Blessings to you On Mother's Day with  VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I centered that on pink polka dot paper.  Next, I stamped 5 flowers and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out. I placed the flowers on the pink polka dot paper and then attached the leaves. I added a strip of green paper at an angle on the light pink bottom layer to add more color.  Then I attached the completed polka dot layer.

Crazy Coffee Lady Card

 Hello, Janet here with a card for a lady. Most ladies love their coffee in the morning!

I stamped the Crazy Lady Coffee Lady with the Coffee Set 2, using  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. Then, I colored her with watercolor pencils. The Crazy Coffee Lady sentiment is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I colored the word coffee with a brown marker. I used the Coffee Set 2 die set to cut the lady and the sentiment out.

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

Quick and easy Coffee Card

 Hello!  This is Shanna here today with a brand new caffeinated project featuring one of Crackerbox Stamp’s clear polymer stamp sets, Coffee 1.  I am also joining in the fun and linking this up in the 2024 Fall | Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop that Crackerbox Stamps is a returning Super Sponsor for this year!! Be sure to click the link above to find out how YOU might play along.

For today’s card, I did a little repetitive stamping of the coffee cup in the Coffee 1 stamp set.  I grabbed an assortment of colored inks and an acrylic block and stamped the image all over an A2 kraft card panel.  My sentiment was stamped onto a rectangle piece of kraft cardstock and matted on some red to help make it pop when I adhered it to the bottom right corner of the panel.  I love a quick and easy design, don’t you??

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back soon for some more inspiration from Crackerbox Stamps!!

GOOD MORNING!

Miss Prissy peeking through the fence to say hello!

To make this card I stamped Miss Prissy in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her. I layered her on a piece of straw design paper. Then I cut a slit in the middle of paper that looked like chicken wire, rolled it back so she could peek out. Attached that and put it on barn siding paper. I stamped Hi Chick in the bottom right corner with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink .This was a very simple card to make. Thanks for taking a look!

Harry Potter Holiday Card for Muggles

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a Harry Potter holiday card featuring Ron.

I started my card by stamping the Santa hat from the Minion 1 set.  I masked the hat then stamped Ron from the Harry P 1 set.  I stamped him again so I could paper piece his robe's collar and his hands with cuffs, and also stamped him on a piece of plaid paper for his hand-me-down robe.

I colored him up using Copics then paper-pieced his outfit.  I really like how that turned out.  For the sentiment, I combined the Holiday Greetings Harry and Happy Birthday Muggle stamps.  I sponged the edges of the card base rather heavily with Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and added a snowflake border.

Harry Potter all squared up!

 Hello!  This is Shanna, and I am here today with a fun Harry Potter card featuring some brand-new polymer stamp sets from Crackerbox Stamps!

Today's card features stamps from the following stamp sets:
Harry P 1
Harry P 2
These sets are so MAGICAL and obviously coordinate together seamlessly.  I primarily pulled images from Harry P 1 and then snagged the sentiment from Harry P 2.

The card was created by making what I called "zones" for each image, or set of images I wanted to place on the card.  I kept it symmetrical and used a ruler to help balance.  It is a fun way to set up any theme on a card!

Thanks so much for joining me today. Stop by again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!!
