Super Dad Bottle Tags for Father's Day
Hello! This is Shanna today with a fabulous Father's Day gift tag tutorial featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. Father's Day is just around the corner---and I have the perfect gift tag idea for you! I used the new Super Guy stamp and created a couple tags that are meant to go onto bottles such as wine or beer. Perfect for all those awesome dads out there!
I made 2 different tags--one using a die from my stash that cuts the tag out, but the other I did with only the addition of a circle die, or punch (but you could even trace and cut this out by hand) so the project can be done completely without dies if you desire! YAY! Here's how---
1. Cut the base from sturdy cardstock at 3" x 8.5"
2. Score across at 6" from bottom

Rosie Mixed Media Art Journal Page
It's Marcia on the Crackerbox Stamps blog today with a mixed media art page featuring iconic strong girl Rosie.
Supplies used:
Rosie
Anything Possible
I printed the lyrics to the song Unstoppable by Sia in a soft grey then stamped Rosie atop in black, embossing in clear. I hand dyed the paper in leftover onion skin dye from Easter eggs (my husband is Romanian -- beautiful natural dying technique) and further distressed it with various inks and a distress tool. While hard to see, I foiled portions of the printed lyrics with scraps to give it a very subtle effect. (I own a laser printer which enables me to foil anything I print.) I cut down a scrap of ruled paper from my daughter's writing tablet, layering strips of various papers down the left edge.

Pot O' Gold Treat Box
Hello everyone! It's Marcia on the blog today sharing another shaped treat box for St. Patrick's Day. (If you missed my previous post Hug My Shamrocks Beer Mug Box, hop over and take a peek.)
Supplies used:
Wishin' Pot O'
As soon as I saw this sentiment, I knew I wanted to pair it with either an image of a pot of gold or a favor box/bag. I considered using it with the Cauldron stamp like I did in my Blessings Out Number Shamrocks card. But, since I was in the 3D box mood, I used another SVG file from SVGCuts called Pot O' Gold and created this adorable treat box/bag. I used (very bendy) gold floral wire for the handle, purchased from Dollar Tree. You could just as easily embellish plain or decorative gift bags with the Cauldron stamp and add this sentiment as well. As with my card mentioned above, I lightly inked the sentiment tag with a shamrock stencil in my stash and added it to the handle with a bit of twine. I may have said several naughty words trying to get this sucker to sit still for a picture. LOL, It's very roly-poly and perfect for treats.

Hug My Shamrocks Beer Mug Box
Hello everyone! It's Marcia on the blog today sharing a shaped treat box for St. Patrick's Day.
Supplies used:
Leprechaun Patrick
Hug My Shamrock
I love how large this leprechaun image is so I wanted to incorporate him into a larger project. I watercolored him with brush markers and fussy cutout. Then, I constructed this super fun beer stein treat box using the Beer Mug cut file from SVGCuts, embossing the beer foam with an older snowfall embossing folder. You could also very easily create a stein-shaped card as well by tracing out the shape onto paper and fussy cutting. To embellish the box, I added our leprechaun and sentiment, gold embossed into a word bubble. Lastly, fill with all the goodies! If you missed my other St. Patrick's Day project, you can find it here: Blessings Out Number Shamrocks.

Merry Grinch-Mas Treats
Hello! Thanks again for stopping by! I have a super fun project to share with you using some stamps from Crackerbox Stamps today! I spent this weekend with family, and we decided to make hot chocolate on a stick.....but GRINCH STYLE!!

I used a few of the new stamps from the 2 separate card kits this month from Crackerbox Stamps. Merry Grinch-Mas and Hot Chocolate Hug Saying made the perfect combo for a reversible tag. The recipe was from Koti Beth and was super easy to make....but the wrapping and tags stole my heart!
