Summer Drinking Card

Hello crafty friends! Ericka here and I hope you are having a great summer! Today I created a colorful card to celebrate the summery heat. And boy do I know a little about the heat here in Houston, TX. All I can say is ugh and boy do I wish I could make this yummy drink in real life.

I started by stamping my Cocktail Summer Fun and coloring it up with my colored pencils. I wanted to make it a yummy fun drink and so decided to use a variety of colors.

I then found this fun background I had in my stash. I had made it with Color Burst Pigment Powders and smooshed them on plastic onto my paper. I love the brightly colorful and random look. I then cut out my drink and added it to my background with foam tape.

To finish my card, I white heat embossed the Drunk and Disorderly sentiment. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are keeping cool on this hot summer day!

"If you lose your shoe at midnight.." Card

Hello everyone!  Marcia on the blog here today with a very royal feeling card with a fun snarky twist.

Supplies used:
You're Drunk

I thought using the You're Drunk sentiment paired with such beautiful papers would offer just a fun irony. I've been hoarding this Graphic 45 paper for far too long -- it's time to put it to good snarky use. For added flair, I layered gold mirror cardstock behind both paper layers and a trio of ivory pearls. I hope it will bring a smile to your face.

NYE Girlfriend Selfie Card

Hello and welcome! This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness here today with another Crackerbox Stamps project for you! Today's card features some of my all-time favorite stamps that were released in 2021!

Girl Friends
Drink too Much
also-- I used the Fireworks stamp as well in my background

This pair makes me giggle---and when combined with the sentiment it is a hit all the way around!

I decide to do a vertical slimline card---roughly basing my idea off of a New Year's Eve BFF selfie! LOL

I started by stamping my Girl Friends image in Copic safe black ink and then coloring it with my Copic markers.  I then stamped and fussy cut the image out of masking paper and masked the entire image off so I could ink blend a background behind them.

I grabbed Distress oxides in Black Soot, Iced Spruce, and Cracked Pistachio and blended a gradient with the 3.  Then I grabbed my white pigment ink and my Fireworks stamp and added some random fireworks in the background.  It is subtle but adds the perfect amount of interest to the background.

My sentiment was heat embossed in gold onto black cardstock.  I had an older 6x6 pattern paper pad that had the text message print in it and I thought it went great with my "NYE Selfie" theme.  I cut a piece to cover the bottom half of the card base, then I matted the sentiment onto white before adhering it on top of the patterned paper.

What type of stories do you think these girls would tell after a night on the town??  Hehehe

 That wraps up my post today, see you all again soon!

Christmas in July Cards by Martha Lucia

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here. Today I have two Mini Slimline Christmas Cards featuring the Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

This card is featuring the recently released Lady with Holding Hand. I really like this rubber stamp and it is a perfect size for the Mini Slimline Cards. First, I stamped it onto White Smooth Card Stock and then colored it with a combination of Illustrator Markers and TriBlend Markers. I used the TriBlend for the skin, the market that I used was the Fair Skin Blend. It is a set of 3 markers the FS6 + FS7 + FS8. The Illustrator colors were LG1, LG3, GY4, and DR2. After colored the Lady with Holding Hand, I fussy cut the image with scissors and let it aside for a while.

I continue the process of creating the layers of my card. First, I made the card base using green card stock, Then, I die cut a second layer using the large size of the Delighted Lace Rectangle Mini Slimline Die onto Red Card stock. I love how this delicate border looks over the card bases. I pasted it directly over the card. Additionally, I die-cut a third layer using designer paper. But this time, I used the second size of the Big & Little Chain Rectangle Mini Slimline Dies. With this, I enhance the dots and details of all the dies that I used.

Over the third layer, I stamped the sentiments Joy and Peace with VersaFine Pigment Onix. Then, I pasted the colored Lady over this layer with crafty foam tape and finalized the card pasting the entire decorated layer over the card with 3D foam tape.

MORE INSPIRATION

My second card keeps the same sketch, I just turned the layout to vertical and stamped the sentiment on the lower part. This time, I used the Santa and Reindeer Dancing Stamp and the Make a Rum Cake as sentiment. Additionally, I used the large size of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Mini Slimline Die as a mat for the decorated layer.

I colored the Santa and Reindeer Dancing Stamp with Classique Markers and fussy cut it with scissors. The colors of Classique Markers were DR1, DR3, GB3, GB6, FS2, FS9, CR3, and Blender. Additionally, I changed the color of the card base to create a different contrast.

Honestly, this is the same layout applied to two different cards.. It is a great way to create mass cards specialty when you have to make Christmas cards.

This weekend Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps is having their Christmas in July Promotion and all the Christmas stamps are 15%OFF.  You don’t need to use any code, just add them to your cart and the price will be automatically reduced. This promotion will be active until July 25, 2021, and you can find all the Christmas Stamps HERE.

Hello Stampers and Hello Summer!

Vicky here today, I am using our new

Card Kit for this month, and a couple of new release stamps.

Summer is time for those fruit drinks with little umbrellas!

Isn't this drink fun?

I used the large image but it also comes in a small version. 

Front and inside of card.

I put a piece of scrap paper under the front of the card and then I brushed ink onto the front.

I stamped the Fruit Slice & Wedge onto a piece of card stock and colored them

as lemon, lime, and orange.

The Cool Summer Wishes comes in the Card Kit 9.

The Cocktail Summer Fun was stamped and colored with Copic.

I cut around the image and then mounted it and cut around it again.

I used the Fruit Slice & Wedge with colored ink instead of coloring them for the inside of the card.

I stamped and mounted the sayings: Life is Short Saying, Cheers On Your Birthday

Here is the card open all the way.

Snarky Birthday

Hi Everybody, Cornelia here today. Some of the products I have used have been provided to me by various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.

 You may have seen the fabulous new release that Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps recently came out with, to celebrate their anniversary. Those stamps I used here are from the new release. Except for the bubbles, which is an old favorite of mine, as they are so versatile!

I used a triangular stencil (Stamplorations) for my background and sponged with distress inks. Stamped the cocktail glass over it and treated it with bleach. You could also stamp it first and mask it. Colored with Inktense and markers. Stamped the sentiment. Trimmed the card and added a strip of patterned paper on the side. Added the dot splatters and some Stickles.

   

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Mini Slimline Card with Beer Stamps

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I have a mini slimline card with the Beer stamps recently released to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

I am featuring the new Drunk and Disorderly Sentiment with the Beer Can Large and the Beer Mug Large. These stamps are part of the most recent release and the 20th Anniversary Release.

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto White Smooth Card Stock and colored them Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. Additionally, I resized the layer with the large size of the Tribal Stitched Rectangle Mini Slimline Dies.

Slimline cards are really trending but now the mini slimline size is taking the heart of a lot of crafters. The size of these cards is 6-1/4 x 3-1/2 closed. You can easily make it with regular card stock or designer paper.

After resizing the layer, I think the background was too white; so with a slimline stencil, I just inked free areas with distressed oxide ink. Additionally, I added an easy texture over the stamped image of the Beer Mug Large. For that, I just apply a few lines of White Radiant Neon Amplify from Imagine and heat with the heat tool. It gives dimension to the mug and a look of foam.

In the store, there are also three different sizes of Mystery Boxes full of rubber stamps and surprise products with great promotional prices.

Thanks for stopping by and you can find the complete details and the list and links of all the products that I used on my card HERE in my Stampartpapel blog.

See you soon with more inspiration!
