Shimmery Vintage

By    August 04, 2026 // No comments

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Who says vintage can't sparkle? 

This Boot & Roses stamp is giving me all the retro glam vibes. A fabulous vintage high heel boot, beautiful roses, and just the right amount of attitude. It's classy, it's flirty, and it practically begged for a little extra shimmer!

I watercolored the entire image first, then added shimmering watercolors to bring out all that vintage sparkle. It's subtle enough to keep the classic look but catches the light in the prettiest way. 

For the inside, I stamped Gardens and Friendship in a soft light green for a sweet finishing touch. Sometimes the inside deserves a little love too!

Now tell me... are you Team Matte or Team "If It Doesn't Sparkle, I'm Not Finished"?

Supply List:

 
Additional Supplies: watercolors, stencil, light modeling paste, black pen, pattern paper, shimmery paint.

Who Says It's Just an Egg?

By    July 25, 2026 // No comments

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Of course, I had to give this stamp another unexpected job! This time, our humble Egg stamp became the shimmering scales of a beautiful mermaid's tail. 🧜‍♀️✨

What would you turn this stamp into next? I love finding new ways to stretch my supplies, and this one was too much fun not to try!

To create the background, I repeatedly stamped the SOLID EGG stamp until it covered the entire 4" x 5¼" card panel. It definitely took a little patience, but once I started doodling and adding all that sparkle, it was completely worth it!

Supply List:

 
Additional Supplies: Ink, black pen, dies, shimmery paint.

One Stamp, Endless Possibilities

By    July 22, 2026 // No comments
Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I've used this Egg stamp as intended, turned it into balloons... and now it's blooming as flower petals! 

How else would you use this little stamp in an unexpected way? I love seeing one stamp stretch far beyond its original purpose.

For this card, I stamped the solid egg with embossing ink and covered it with Kaleidoscope embossing powder for lots of sparkle. The leaves and flower center were hand-drawn by me, then paper pieced with patterned paper and bits of vintage music sheets for extra texture and charm.

Now it's your turn... what's the next transformation for this humble egg stamp? Maybe butterfly wings?

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Ink, black pen, music sheet, background stamps, Pattern Papers.

Moo-d Boosting Card

By    June 26, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!   

Got a friend who’s feeling under the weather? A handmade card like this is sure to bring a smile.

For this card, I used Cow Bridgette (large) paired with the Herd You Were Sick sentiment for the perfect get-well combo. The Hay Stack stamp ties everything together, creating a fun and cozy background scene.

Add in a few patterned paper scraps that fit the farm theme, and just like that, you’ve got yourself a cheerful GET WELL SOON card guaranteed to brighten someone’s day.

This one has such a fun farmhouse charm... cute, comforting, and just the right amount of moo-d boosting.

All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps.

Cow Bridgette (large)

Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?

By    June 24, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!   

A or B? Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?
My family unanimously voted for A, but I had that creative itch to see B finished, too. You know that feeling... once you’ve stayed in the crafty barn too long, curiosity takes over. 🐄✨

Honestly, I think both versions turned out fun and would be a joy to make or receive.

I started by stamping Cow Bridgette (small) and masking her before stamping Barn Variations (large) in the background. I colored everything using my favorite technique: starting with alcohol markers, then adding shadows with watercolor markers, and finishing with highlights using a white gel pen.

For version A, I kept things clean and simple.

For version B, I stamped an extra Bridgette, fussy cut her, and added a fence post die cut along with some grass for extra dimension. I also stamped the Your Day sentiment, cut it into pieces, and arranged it to complete the scene.

Both cards have their own charm... but now I’m curious; are you Team A or Team B? 

All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps. 

Supply List:
Cow Bridgette (small)
Your Day (large)

Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

Growing Gardens, Growing Friendships

By    June 18, 2026 // No comments
Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!    

Summer is finally here, and the plants are thriving while gardeners everywhere are busy tending to their little green worlds. While you're taking care of your garden, don't forget to nurture your friendships too! 

For today's card, I kept things simple with a one-layer design featuring the Plant Pots 2 Open stamp. I masked the Small Ivy so it could spill beautifully from the pot, and ended up masking both the pot and ivy twice to build the scene. The garden tool at the bottom comes from the Gardening Tools Set of 7 and adds the perfect finishing touch.

I love how this card captures a quiet summer moment with just a few stamps and a little masking. A sweet reminder that growth happens both in our gardens and in our relationships.

Additional Supplies: Watercolors, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

A Cup Full of Vintage Charm

By    June 07, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!  

New day, new cup of coffee! You guys know how much I love paper piecing the Coffee Cup Top View Stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and this time I dressed it up with a beautiful vintage rose pattern. From there, the entire card naturally took on a charming vintage vibe.

For the background, I used the Coffee 3 Clear Stamp Set along with the Coffee Bean Set of 2 to add layers of coffee-themed goodness. A few pieces of ephemera, some mixed media touches, and plenty of creative love brought everything together into this cozy, coffee-inspired card.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (clear), die-cuts, rectangle dies, ribbon, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Drifted Into Elegance

By    June 04, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

This elegant look came together completely by accident. I was planning to color the image with colored pencils, but after stamping and masking, I fell in love with the soft look of it just as it was. So instead, I reached for my Pitt Pastel pencils and gave them a try. The result feels dreamy and effortless, like a salty breeze drifting through a quiet coastal morning. This beachy scene was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Additional Supplies: Grey Pitt Pastel Pencil, White China Pencil, Cloud Stencil

Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong.

By    June 02, 2026 // No comments
 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

“Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong” might just be the crown jewel of snarky stamping, and without question, one of my favorite stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. I think we’ve all had days where coffee felt less like a beverage and more like a public service announcement. 

For this card, I paired that hilariously sharp sentiment with the soft elegance of the Wild Foliage Silhouette, and honestly, the contrast is what makes it work so well. You see the gentle botanical vibe first… then BAM, the snark lands like a caffeine catapult. Unexpected combinations are the confetti cannons of cardmaking.

To finish it off, I used a vintage coffee grinder image as a background stamp, which adds just the right amount of cozy café nostalgia and ties the whole theme together beautifully.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Yellow, Orange and Blue inks, white embossing ink, white embossing powder, border dies, book pages

Coffee, Cocoa & Crafty Deals!

By    May 27, 2026 // No comments
  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Hola, coffee lovers! Maybe your cup is filled with tea leaves, cinnamon, cocoa, or espresso strong enough to wake the neighbor’s cat. Whatever your cozy potion of choice, now is the time to stock up because all coffee, tea, and cocoa-themed stamps are currently 25% OFF at the Crackerbox Stamps store!

And yes... that includes Coffee Set #3, the newest addition to the coffee-themed clear sets family. This card was brewed with that set plus a few extra goodies that are also on sale right now, making the whole project feel like a crafty café table exploded in the best possible way. 

Warm drinks, inky fingers, and stamp sets with personality? That sounds like a pretty delicious combo to me.


Additional Supplies: Embossing Powders (golden and black iridescent), die-cuts, bulb pin, circle dies, ribbon, pattern paper, Pitt pastel pencils, ephemera, and blender brush.

Card No. 2 features the new Coffee Lovers #3, and I am absolutely loving the vintage charm of this design. I used one of the larger sentiments to create a full background across the entire card panel, giving it lots of texture and interest. The finishing touches of paint splatters, washi tape, and vintage trims brought everything together like the perfect cup of aged espresso. 

CLOSE UP for card No. 1

From Sun Stamp to Bloom: Where New Ideas Take Root

By    May 18, 2026 // No comments
Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!
This is the card where the Sun Drawing Stamp first quietly reinvented itself as a blooming flower!

I used a Candy Hearts sentiment as the center, and from there, everything else just unfolded like petals deciding they wanted to be something new. Once that shift happened, the ideas didn’t just appear, they sprouted—one after another—until the whole design felt like it had been waiting for this transformation all along.

That’s the magic of a single stamp: it’s never just one thing. It’s a seed with a thousand possible directions, and sometimes it only takes a small twist to watch an entirely new garden begin to grow.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Yellow ink, Pink Ink, border dies, pattern papers, gauze, and wall tape

Sunshine Simplicity

By    May 13, 2026 // No comments
   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Sometimes simple cards carry the brightest glow. This card features the beautiful sun drawing stamp from Crackerbox Stamps. I am absolutely loving the carved, print-block feel of the design. The warm ink colors against the peach cardstock layers feel like bottled sunshine on paper.

To finish it off, I stamped the “Day Filled With Sunshine” sentiment in Versafine Nocturne ink, heat embossed it for that crisp shine, and added a few pearls for the final little sparkle. Clean, cheerful, and ready to brighten someone’s mailbox.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Yellow, Green, Orange, and Pink Inks, and Black Embossing Powder

Turning Sunshine Into Sunflowers

By    May 08, 2026 // No comments

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!


Mother’s Day is peeking around the corner like a deadline in glitter-covered shoes, and I am still over here making cards that actually need to survive the postal system. 

This one, though, might be one of my favorites. I made it especially for my mom, and I really hope she loves it as much as I loved creating it. I used the sun stamp from Crackerbox Stamps in a completely different way, turning it into a bright sunflower for the focal point. The center uses a sentiment stamp, while the background is filled with the Mother’s Day definition stamp, adding layers of meaning and texture.

A little bit floral, a little bit vintage dictionary page energy, and fully made with love.

Supply List:
Additional Supplies: Purple and Navy Ink, Black Embossing Powder, watercolors, bling, and blender brush.

When Die Cuts Meet Stamps Magic Happens

By    April 20, 2026 // No comments
  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Sometimes stamps are the perfect way to spruce up a die cut. I got this balloon cover plate as a gift from a friend, and I LOVE it… but how many times can I really use patterned paper for the balloons before it starts feeling a little “been there, done that”?
Today I switched it up and stamped my own balloon designs instead! Now I can make them elegant, bold, or totally custom, depending on who the card is for.
My sister’s birthday is coming up, and even though pink is definitely not her favorite color, I know she’s going to love this card because it’s unique… just like she is. 
I used the Single Bloom stamp from Crackerbox Stamps to give the balloons a more elevated, almost grand feel, and finished it off with my favorite Birthday sentiment.

Supply List:
Additional Supplies: Brown Ink, Balloon Coverplate, pearls, blue ink, cloud stencil, and blender brush.

Low Key Spring, WHAT?!?!?

By    April 04, 2026 // No comments
   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!


Chocolate is my first love… snarky, sassy stamps are a very close second. So when I spotted the Bunny Butt & Ear stamp, I went from giggling to “add to cart” in record time. No hesitation. No regrets. 

I colored the bunnies like classic chocolate treats because obviously… priorities. From there, the card basically made itself, just a simple sketch paired with some playful spring papers. Light, cheerful, and just the right amount of sass.
The sentiment brings it all together, a little nod to gardens and friendships, because this one is heading straight to my sweet friend Sylvia.

Additional Supplies: Pattern paper, ribbon, stapler, and blender brush.
