Roses For Mom

I wanted to make my version of a clean and simple card. I started with a white card base. Next I did repeat stamping of the rose from the Mother Set 1 stamp set on a layer slightly smaller than the base. Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set. I turned the layer over and dry embossed some lines around the edges. To finish my card, I added three gold enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Spring is in the air!

                     Hello, Janet here with a s spring card. The yellow flowers are blowing in the air.

I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on 3 small squares of cardstock. They are colored with copic markers and then layered onto slightly larger black cardstock squares. They are randomly placed on a 3 x 4 1/2 piece of white cardstock. Layer that on a slightly larger piece of black cardstock. Set that aside. Cut another piece of black to cover the front of the card. I layered a smaller piece of yellow-and-white striped paper on top of that. Then attach the top part at an angle to the card. I tied a black and white checked bow and added a few black embellishments. Inside, I stamped the Friends Are Like Flowers verse with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Belated Birthday Bunny Card

Hi! I try my best(ish) and yet always seem to need belated birthday cards the most. Toni here, and let's hop right in and talk about today's project.

To start my card, I stamped the Bunny Blue image on the card front and colored it with Copics.  

Then I used a numbers stencil with pale pink ink randomly on the card front — time is ticking!

I die-cut some balloons and sponged them with pastel pink and green. The belated birthday sentiment from Birthday Set 2 fits perfectly on the largest one.

Frog Hoppy Holidays Card

Cheers, everyone!  Toni here with you today, sharing a super cute holiday card.

I was flipping through my Crackerbox Stamps stash and ran across the Frog 1 set that I hadn't used in a while.  It occurred to me that I could make the frog green and red for Christmas. How cute!

I stamped the frog and "hoppy" sentiment on the card front, colored it up, then added the finishing touches. Time for that Christmas party!

Sassy Miss Daisy has done it again!

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Miss Daisy’s Got Attitude — and a Whole Lot of Cheese!

Miss Daisy has done it again! She just can’t help herself — that sass is part of her charm. This cheeky card was created as part of a dairy-themed Instagram Hop I’m participating in, and I couldn’t resist leaning into the theme with a little extra snark.

The sentiment called for something bold and dairy-inspired, and what better way to play it up than with a cheesy background? Literally. The cheese motif adds just the right dose of humor while tying everything together in the most delightfully absurd way.

It’s a little funny, a little snarky, and totally Miss Daisy. Be sure to follow the hop for more dairy-inspired laughs and creativity!

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!

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!!
