Don't Love You Card by Martha Lucia

Hi crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I have a Don't Love You Card. I am featuring the Don't Love You Sentiment in combination with the Daisy Bunch.

I made a different card for valentine's season. First, I created a card base with basic black card stock. Then, I inked with distress oxide ink a piece of white smooth card stock. Additionally, I dry embossed this piece with a 3D Embossing Folder.

I pasted the inked piece over the left side of the card base and left it aside for a while. Then, in a separate piece of White Smooth Card stock, I stamped the Don't Love You Sentiment and the Daisy Bunch with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. To finalize the card, I fussy cut the flowers with scissors and die cut the sentiment with one zig-zag stitched heart die. As a final touch, just added a few enamel dots in coordinating colors.

If you want to see all the colors and products that I used to create this card, you can find them HERE on my STAMPARTPAPEL BLOG.

Thanks for stopping by and keep in touch because this week Crackerbox will be releasing new and fabulous products!

Sweet Valentine Cards by Martha Lucia

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here. Today I have some cards created with the new Valentine Stamps from Crackerbox. This mini-release just arrived in the store and includes images and sentiments!!! And of course discounts!!!

This card features the Candy Heart Open, Candy Heart Snark, Candy Heart Sassy, and Candy Heart Sweet. The first stamp is simply the heart image, the next three are set of sentiments that can be stamped inside of the heart.

I stamped mine onto white smooth card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then, I colored each with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir using red and pink tones to create different shades. Additionally, I fussy cut each heart with scissors and left the hearts aside for a while.

To make my card more attractive, I die-cut a second layer with the large size of the Zig Zag Rectangle Dies. I decorated this layer with the Frostbite Stencil using the same color of ink as the cardstock. I love this tone to tone effect with this beautiful stencil. In addition, I splattered the entire layer with white paint and Fireworks Tuxedo Black.

________________________________________

My second card is a snarky valentine card that features a new valentine sentiment in combination with an "old" stamp. On this card, I am using the All You Need In World Sentiment and the Caterpillars.

To make this card, first, I stamped the All You Need in World onto white smooth card stock. Then, I die cut a window onto the second layer of designer paper. To cut the window, I used one of the dies included on the Cloud Nested Label Dies.  I continue the process pasting first the stamped sentiment and then, the designer paper layer.

As a final touch, I just add some caterpillars that I stamped onto white smooth card stock and colored with TriBlend Markers from Spectrum Noir.

If you want to see more details, colors, and products that I used to create my cards you can find them all HERE in my STAMPARTPAPEL BLOG.

Sweet Valentine Card by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here. After a few weeks of "obligated vacations", I have the pleasure to share with you a sweet valentine's card created with the Candies stamp and the Everything You Mean Sentiment.

I love chocolates and Valentine is the perfect day to give and receive them. This version of chocolates called Candies from Crackerbox is perfect for coloring and creating a card.

CARD DETAILS:

My entire card is made with White Smooth card stock. First, I stenciled the card base with the Argyle Heart Stencil and Antique Linen Distress Ink. I left the piece aside for a while.

I die cut the second layer using one of the Cloud Nested Label Dies. I stamped the Everything You Mean sentiment on the lower part using Icing on the Cake Ink by Catherine Pooler. Additionally, I inked the center of the card with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.

In a separate piece of White Smooth Card Stock, I stamped the Candies stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then, I colored the chocolates with a mix of TriBlend Markers and Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. Additionally, I fussy cut the chocolates with scissors.

The chocolates included on the Candies Stamp are also sold individually in the Crackerbox Store. They are Chocolate Strawberry, Candy Round, and Candy Square.

To finalize the card, I pasted the chocolates over the inked area with 3D Square Foam Tape. And added a few rhinestones and a red heart to make my card more special.

Love Card Perfect For Your Valentines

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! today I am up with a Love Mini Slimline Stamped Card featuring stamps from Crackerbox. Christmas is not over yet and we are already thinking in Valentine… it is incredible!

Well, I am making my transition very slowly, and like red is a Christmas color, today I have a red love card with bows and more.

To begin, I stamped the sentiment Outline Love and Peace onto very vanilla card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it with TriBlend Markers from Spectrum Noir. This sentiment is part of the Remember the 60’s Collection

In a separate piece of vanilla card stock, I stamped the large Bow also with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. This bow is also part of the Christmas & New Years Collection of Stamps, and it is also available in a small size. For me, this bow is one of the most versatile stamps for all the seasons because all you need is to change the colors and it is ready to use.

Going back to my card, I resized the layer that I used to stamp the sentiment with one of the Tribal Rectangle Mini Slimline Dies. Then, I fussy cut the bow with scissors and pasted it very close to the L of the sentiment Outline Love and Peace and embellished the layer with a tiny clay envelope with a red heart on the center.

To finish the card, I created a red mini slimline card base and pasted the decorated layer with strips of crafty foam tape to give more dimension.

If you want to see all the details about the dies, markers, and additional products that I used to create my card, you can find them HERE in my Stampartpapel Blog. 

Thank you for stopping by and remember that Crackerbox Stamps has a wonderful promotion during Christmas Time. For each $25 dollars that you spend on a gift certificate, you will receive a $5 dollars credit to use in your personal account.

Rockn' Grinch Christmas Card

Hello friends, Martha Lucia here with you. Today, I just pop up to share a card with the Card Kit 18. This is a Rockin’Around the Christmas Tree Card using the Grinch collection stamps.

My card is a really simple card that features the Bib Overlay Kit. This shape of the card works great with the Grinch images. Today I am using some of the additional images released with the Card Kit 18 or Grinch Kit. The additional images are part of the Grinch Hand Set of 5 and/or Grinch Ornaments Set of 3.

I stamped the Grinch Face onto a green piece of card stock and die cut it with a circle from the never-ending nested dies. You can also use a circle punch to cut it. Then, I stamped the Grinch Hand onto White Smooth Card stock and colored it with TriBlend Markers from Spectrum Noir. Additionally, I fussy cut the Grinch Hand with scissors.

The Grinch Ornaments includes three different images, a glass of wine, a candy cane, and a heart. I stamped them onto white smooth card stock and colored them with TriBlend Markers. Also, I fussy cut the ornaments with scissors and set them aside for a while.

To complete my card, I stamped the sentiment Rockin’ Christmas Tree onto the red layer included on the Bib Overlay Kit with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then, I pasted the layer directly over the card base and arranged all the individual stamped pieces over the card with crafting foam tape. And voila, my Rockin’Around the Christmas Tree Card is finished!
