Mixed Media Card Encouragement Card
Hello friends! Ericka here and today I have a mixed media card I made using my gel press along with the Built From Fire sentiment. I love this encouraging sentiment and it goes with a variety of images but today I paired it with the Apple Blossom stamp and colored it up with my watercolor markers.
I have a huge stash of gel press prints and thought this orange one would go well with the sentiment. I stamped and clear heat embossed it and then added some leftover washi tape from a past project. I stamped the Apple Blossom on Bristol Smooth paper and clear embossed it and watercolored it with my brush makers, I fussy cut the image out and glued it to my background to complete my card. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

By Your Side Dog Card
Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by today! This is Shanna today with a quick and easy card featuring some fabulous red rubber stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!
STAMPS USED:
Dog Silhouette
It Doesn't Matter
I couldn't help but think of a loyal 4 legged friend when reading this sentiment. I wanted to create a CAS card that allowed the meaning behind the words to shine through. I used a shaped stencil from my stash—this technique can be done with any stencil that gives a solid shape, a negative from a die cut, or just masking off a shape! I pulled out some Distress oxides to ink blend the background and used black ink to stamp the dog and sentiment. Thanks again for dropping by. I will be back again soon with another red rubber inspired project! Until then~Shanna

Live Your Best Life Card Plus Tips for Solid Stamping
Hello and welcome! This is Shanna today with a simple silhouette card featuring products from Crackerbox Stamps! My card is a traditional A-2 card today. I started by grabbing a scrap of ink-blended cardstock I had on my desk from a previous project that happened to be big enough to stamp the Sea Breeze image on. I grabbed my Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and stamped the image using my Misti stamping tool. I find it key to use a stamp positioning tool when stamping silhouettes or solid images because you will almost always have to stamp again to fully have the image solid. I used my paper trimmer to cut the image down to the border on the stamp. I also stamped the Live Your Life sentiment onto the same scrap of ink-blended cardstock as well and cut it down to a rectangle. I added black cardstock mats behind both the image and the sentiment. For my card base, I grabbed a white A-2 card panel and trimmed it down to 4 'x 5.25". I attached a piece of iridescent vellum to roughly half of the card front for a bit of sparkly interest and then mounted the image and sentiment centered on the card front before adding the panel to a black A2 notecard to finish off the card!
- Ink Matters! Use a well-inked or re-inked stamp pad. Dye inks dry and doesn't tend to spread, but I have had success with pigment inks too.
- Use a stamp positioner, like a Misti, to make restamping the image easy to achieve a solid look
- Silhouettes are typically dark colors, right?? But this is YOUR card--have fun with it... You want a hot pink Sea Breeze scene? Then go for it!

Who Walks Beside You Card
Hello! Nadine here, and today I am sharing a beautiful who walks beside you inspirational card.
I first stamped the Apple Blossom stamp using VersaMark on black cardstock and then heat embossed it with rose gold embossing powder. I repeated the same thing with the It Doesn't Matter sentiment stamp.
Then I colored the Apple Blossom stamp with colored pencils and added some crystal drops.
The flower stamp I used is just one of the newly released flower stamps that Alex drew. Alex lives in Ukraine, and all this month, to help support him, all profits from his flower stamps will be donated to him. You can see all of his flower stamps HERE.

Shoot For the Moon Galaxy Card
I sponged green, yellow, blue, and pink distress inks onto a white card base and then sponged over my background with black soot distress ink, sponging less over the colored areas. That way, you get a nice galaxy background, although there are several different techniques. I stamped the rocket and the moon onto scrap paper. I colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Added water drops and white splatters to my background. Let it dry well. Stamped the sentiment and stars with Versamark ink and heat embossed them. Mounted the back panel onto a slightly larger card base.
I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting, and happy stamping!

Snarky Inspiration Card
Hello! Nadine here today with a card with some snarky inspiration.
I created the background for my card by blending some ink with a darker blue on the top and lighter blue towards the bottom and leaving the bottom right corner white. Then using a star stencil and blue ink to create some stars. I stamped the Boobs From Sagging sentiment onto the background. Then I stamped Trixie and colored her with Copic Markers, and fussy cut her out and added her to the bottom right corner where I left white on the background.
STAMPS USED:
Boobs From Sagging
Trixie
Happy crafting, see you next time!
