Watercolor Flower Card

 Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card that is perfect for any occasion with a watercolor look using Zig Brush Pens.

I used the gorgeous Apple Blossom flower stamp from Crackerbox Stamps to make my card. I didn't use a sentiment, but if desired, any of Crackerbox Stamps' sentiment stamps would work to add to this card.

Shaped Floral Birthday Card

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Crackerbox Stamps blog.  Today I am sharing a fun-shaped floral card perfect for birthdays or any occasion!


To make my card, I used one of the new floral releases in April titled "Lotus" and colored it using my copic pens: R89, R85, R81, and YG01, YG17.  To make the shape, simply use one of your dies from your stash and adhere them together for a fun-shaped card!  To complete my card, I used black die ink and stamped "It's Your Birthday!" on the bottom half of the card to finish it off.


I hope everyone enjoyed my post, and thanks for stopping by!

 Hi, everyone! Welcome back to the Crackerbox Stamps blog.  My card today is clean and simple, with a touch of color to bring out the beauty of the stamps.

Beach : Picture Box Frame Card

 Welcome back to the Crackerbox Stamps blog.  Today I have a picture box frame card to share with everyone ❤️

Above, you can see the box portion of the card, and I added a piece of acetate to the front.  The surfboards are inside mounted on foam tape, and the beach lays flush against the background paper to give it more depth.

Here you can see standing as the box is mounted against a 6x6 card front.  I hope everyone enjoyed my post, and thanks for stopping by everyone 🥰

Stamped Background Easter Card

Welcome back to the Crackerbox Stamps blog today. I am sharing a stamped background card using “Bunny Blue” from the store and a “Happy Easter “ sentiment.

I stamped the bunny image several times to create my background and then stamped it again to be used as the focal point of the actual card by matting it and using some foam tape on the back.
Here you can see how adding the foam tape heightens the image and draws it away from blending with the background.  I colored the image but left the background uncolored.  I hope everyone enjoyed my post.

Coastal Card For Any Occasion

 Hi everyone! The holidays are officially over, and it’s time to start a new year.  My card today can be used for various occasions simply (in my opinion) by changing the sentiment.

I tried to get an angled look so you could see the layers on the card.  So I added the undersea fish, shark, and turtle to different levels to give a 3d appearance.
I simply die-cut each layer several times, which can be easier than adding foam tape for added height.  I hope everyone enjoyed my card and hope to see you back again.

Framed Friendship Card

 Hi everyone, I am sharing a fun framed card using a fun girlfriend's stamp.  I wanted it to be fun and bright, and I believe I captured it. What do you think?!! 🥰


I stamped my image onto some alcohol blending paper and colored these lovely ladies using my Copic Markers. Initially, I was going to make a boxcar but decided to keep this as a framed card front!

Layering Stamps To Create A Fun Christmas Card

Hi everyone, I am back sharing a Grinch filled card and a way to extend your stamps, if that's the right word?! Below I shared a link…


Sharing a short video to show how I made my Christmas tree bigger and fuller by layering my stamp and using the Grinch to create a collage around the tree. I used my Copic in B000 to create a glow to show my grinch expresses his heart, warming up to the thought of Christmas!!
