Stamping & Coloring On Kraft Cardstock

By Maria Pilar May 29, 2021 // 1 comment

Hello everybody! Maria Pilar here with a new card colored on Kraft cardstock.

This is the first time I have colored on kraft because I thought it would change the tones of the markers a lot, but the result has surprised me and I love how it turned out.

To create this card I have used the Flowers Flourish stamp and the sentiment Day Be Filled with Sunshine stamped on kraft paper, as I have said. Then I used my alcohol markers to color the flower stamp. After that, I pasted it on the white cardstock base.

The final touches have been the add some clear sequins and a piece of sisal tied with a bow.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy and happy crafting!

Snarky Slider Birthday Card

By Maria Pilar May 20, 2021 // No comments

Hello and welcome everyone! Maria Pilar here sharing this snarky slider birthday card using Card Kit #6 of Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

Card Kit #6 also comes with 10 slider die-cut cards and 2 rubber stamps.

I created the background of this card using distress oxide Festive Berries, Faded Jeans, and Fossilized Amber inks over a stencil ink to color both for the front and the inner piece.

The sentiment is embossed with Wow embossing powder onto a piece of card stock and pasted in the center of the slider card. I also added two pieces of washi tape.

After that, I stamped the monster on a piece of oval cardboard and colored it with my alcohol markers. Then I glued it onto the inside stenciled piece that slide.

Before gluing the sides of the card and the piece that slides, I stamped the Another Birthday stamp so that it would appear at the same time as the monster from the top.

Here is the Card Kit & Stamps that I used for today's card.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping! Enjoy with the Card Kits & Stamps.

Birthday Slider Card with Maria Pilar

By Maria Pilar May 09, 2021 // No comments

Hello crafty friends! Maria Pilar here featuring a fun birthday slide card using Card Kit #5 of Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

I have to confess that until now I was afraid to make a slider card but it was so easy and so much fun to make this one that I think I have become addicted to them, lol. Also, this Card Kit #5 comes with 10 slider die-cut cards and 2 rubber stamps and its instructions, of course. There can be nothing better to play!!!!

To create my card I used distress oxide Fired Brick ink to color both the front and the inner card that slides. Then spray water to give it a different texture.

When the card stock was dry, I stamped Candle striped stamp across the surface several times and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I also stamped the Music score stamp twice onto the inside piece because what is a birthday without singing?

I stamped the cute elephant on a piece of White Smooth Card stock with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. Then I cut it with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die cut to place it in the center of the card. I only had to paste it to the slider section.

The sentiment is stamping with the same Fired Brick ink but later I decided to emboss it with Clear Wow embossing powder.

Have you seen how easy it is? I hope you liked this. Look my card in action!

This is the Card Kit & Stamps that I used for today's card.

Slimline Card For That Special Person

By Maria Pilar April 30, 2021 // No comments

Hello again! Maria Pilar here today sharing with you a slimline card for Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

To create this card I used a die designed by me with my Silhouette Cameo. I made a background with distress inks Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade spraying water to activate them. So I got this beautiful effect.

When the card was dry, I stamped the Floral Lady stamp and the Love & Happiness sentiment, perfect for a happy birthday card.

The final touch was to add some transparent enamel dots similar to the drops that I got with the ink.

As you know, Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps has on sale the April card kits & stamps.

I hope you like this card and encourage you to create your own birthday cards.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Hello there and happy week! Maria Pilar here sharing a new card with the Card Kits for April which are on sale.

The base of this card kits is from The Paper Cut and together with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps, we are offering two different kits every month.

I used today the Card Kit 3 which comes with 2 stamps and 5 pre-scored and cut center-fold step cards. They are very easy and fun to decorate. The sentiment included is fabulous for me.

To create my card for today I have stamped the message on vegetal paper and then I have hot embossed. I have pasted it on the central part of the card and around it I have put a frame die colored in blue with alcohol markers, finished with white sequins and liquid pearl.

Then I stamped the flowers with blue ink and also added a drop of yellow liquid pearl in the center.

The final touch has been to add at the bottom a strip of washi tape to match the blue of my card.

These are the stamps I used included in Card Kit 3.

Center Step Card Kit by Maria Pilar

By Maria Pilar April 09, 2021 // No comments

Hello there! Maria Pilar here sharing my first card with the new Card Kits for April which are on sale.

The base of this card kit is from The Paper Cut and together with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps, we are offering two different kits every month.

I used today the Card Kit 4 which comes with 2 stamps and 5 pre-scored and cut center-fold step cards. They are very easy and fun to decorate.

I related the saying of the queen to all those women who have fought against the coronavirus and are controlling it. She is going this shit handled! Therefore, after stamping the message and decorating it with a die before gluing the crown with double-sided foam tape, I cut out and pasted some small covid-19 on the sides of the card.

These are the stamps I used

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

Easter Flip card

By Maria Pilar March 29, 2021 // No comments

Hello there! Maria Pilar here from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps using the Card Kits with this Easter card.

To create my card, I have used this The Paper Cut flip card base but now with different stamps.

First, I covered the base of the flip card with decorated paper. Next, I glued fabric washi tape to the creases of the card.

Then I have stamped the Bunny and Chick set of 2 stamps and colored them with the Copics alcohol markers. In the central part, I pasted a die cut that I had saved and on top of it the bunny and the chick. Below them I stamped the message Happy Easter.

On the other side of the central part, I glued an oval diecut of the same decorated paper as the card and stamped the sentiment Have a Eggstra special day!!

In this pic you can see both sides of the flip pop card at the same time.

Check out the Card Kits we have for March and stay tuned for April news.

Hippie Flip Pop Card

By Maria Pilar March 20, 2021 // No comments

Hello everyone! Maria Pilar here sharing another card with the Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps Card Kits. The cards are from The Paper Cut.

For my card, I have created a background using gelatos with a washcloth. My idea was to use the Remember the 60's stamps and that's why I chose very cheerful colors appropriate to the theme.

I stamped on White Smooth Card Stock all the stamps I had chosen: 5 Petal Flowers, 6 Petal Flowers, the small flower heart of Daisy Heart Set of 3, Girl Front and Back, Girls Guitar, Girls Kite and the sentiment Love, Peace, Harmony And after coloring them with alcohol markers, I began to distribute them over the surface of the card.

As you can see, in the center I stamped the girl on one side, completing the decoration with a yellow chevron washi tape and the message stamped on a separate card, surrounded by small flowers, on the other pasting all the elements using E-Z Runner Permanent Strips.

Flip card sweet

By Maria Pilar March 10, 2021 // No comments

Hello crafty friends! Maria Pilar here from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps. Did you know that they have Card Kits now with their stamps and The Paper Cut flip cards? Today I'm going to show you my first flip card, which is really very easy and fun to do.

I find it very interesting to have a different form of cards to make a flip card at any time. You only have to decorate it with papers, inks, stencils, with whatever you want, and add your favorite stamps. I am having time problems due to my work in recent months and I have created this card right away. To create my card, I used a stencil with distress inks. Then, I only have to stamp these Cat Friends and the sentiment included at Card Kit 2 and colored them.

As you can see, in the center I stamped the cats on one side and the message stamped on a separate card stock and glued it on the other.

Check out the Card Kits we have for March and stay tuned for upcoming news.

Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend!
