Summer Cocktail Card

Hello, my friends!  Toni with you on this fine summer day.  Let's celebrate with a little drinky poo!

This card was really simple to work up.  I stamped the Cocktail Summer Fun Large image onto the card front and colored it up with Copics.  I then stamped the Life's Too Short Saying using Versafine Clair Nocturne.

I added a bit of bling using gold-striped washi and mounted the card front on a bright yellow panel.  How fun is that!

Vintage Distessed Birthday Card with Wine

Hi, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a vintage distressed birthday card with a wine theme.

I distressed the edges of the card front using a tool from Tim Holtz and then adhered a piece of  patterned paper cut using a deckle edge cover die.  

My next layer consists of burlap ribbon where I teased out some of the edge fibers for a feathery look.  I adhered this layer with big sticky dots.

I stamped the Wine Bottle, Glass and Grapes then created a mask for the glass stems.  I used Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves and Vintage photo for sponging before fussy cutting and adhering to a deckle edge panel.

I embossed the grapes on the wine bottle label and sponged the edges before adhering.  I also embossed the All Things Improve sentiment and distressed the edges before adding that on top of the wine panel.

Happiness Is...COCKTAILS! Card

Hello and welcome! This is Shanna here today, and I am excited to be kicking off a super fun card series featuring some of the stamps from the Happiness Is Collection from Crackerbox Stamps! This collection has a TON of different sentiment choices, and I am really looking forward to sharing some of them with all of you over the coming months!

This series will be a monthly series that publishes each month on the 3rd of the month. I will be using a different sentiment each month paired with the title's sentiment from the collection, Happiness Is. If you'd like to view the entire collection together, you can also view that HERE or in the link below. I also have exciting news--so be sure to read all the way until the end to find out!

I started off my card by stamping the Cocktail Summer Fun stamp and then masking it with masking paper. I wanted a single-layer image with Sassy Cindy "holding" the cocktail glass. I lined up Sassy Cindy and then stamped the image over the masked cocktail glass. After the mask was removed, I had the full image ready to color with my Copic markers. I fussy cut the image out afterward and set it aside. For the background of my card, I pulled out a "summery" gel press print I had in my stash... FUN FACT! The texture pattern you see on the background is actually made with BUBBLE WRAP! So fun! I stamped my Happiness Is sentiments directly onto the panel with black ink. Lastly, I adhered to my fussy cut girl using some foam tape for dimension!

STAMPS USED:

Happiness Is

Happy Hour

Cocktail Summer Fun

Sassy Cindy-Lady Holding Hand

Fisherman Father's Day Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a fisherman Father's Day card.

I stamped and then colored the Fisherman with Copic Markers. Then I die-cut him out, matted him with some blue cardstock, and adhered him to the front of my card. Then I stamped the Fishing Worm On Hook and colored him in with Copic Markers, and fussy cut him out. Then adhered the worm so he looked like he was hanging from the fishing pole of the Fisherman. I used a black marker to draw the fishing line so there was no gap between the hook and line and the pole line. For the sentiment, I used Fishing Problem, and for the inside of my card, I used Father's Day Freehand.

Booze and Bad Decisions Birthday Card

 Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a snarky little card to share. Here's to making cards to make people smile. Here are all of the details.

Crackerbox Stamps Used:

Beer Can Large

Beer Mug Large

Birthday Filled With Booze

Coffee Stain

I created a simple blended background using Distress Oxide Inks and a blending brush. Then I added the sentiment to the card front using black ink in the top left-hand corner of the card.

I love using the Coffee Stain for any drink cards. So I added brown ink to the stamp, then misted it with water to give it a more watery look when stamped onto the card front. Now adhere the card front to the white cardstock card base. Stamp the beer cans and beer mug onto white cardstock, then add color to the images using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Fussy cut out all of the images and added them to the card front using foam adhesive. Then I added Stickles to the beer mug for a little sparkle on the card. Let dry completely.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dreaming Of A White or Red Wine Christmas Card

 Hello! Are you dreaming of a white or red Christmas? This card is perfect for all your wine drinking friends.

I used the Lady with Holding Hand stamp, and when inking her up, I made sure not to put ink on the bow in her hair since I knew I would be putting a Santa Hat on her. I then stamped her in the bottom corner of my card front. I stamped the Grinch Wine Glass so it was on her hand, and then colored her and the wine glass in with Copic Markers. I stamped the Santa Hat separately and then colored it with Copic Markers, fussy cut it out, and adhered it to the lady. I then stamped the White Christmas sentiment, added a few sequins to finish the card off, and mounted it to red cardstock.

Stamps Used:
Lady with Holding Hand
Santa Hat Lg.
Grinch Wine Glass
White Christmas

Happy crafting!
Nadine
