Just A Note Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. 
Since school has started, I wanted to show our Spiral Side stamp.

I had some corkboard paper and mounted it on the black cardstock.

I wanted to show a cover, so I used green cardstock and cut a piece of white cardstock for the paper.

I adhered the cardstock to the corkboard paper.

I stamped the Spiral Side twice on the cardstock. Then, I added the other stamps and embellishments to make them look like corkboard pins.

You could add lines and write your own message.

Stamps Used:

Spiral Side

Just A Note

Feet Flower Sm.

I'm Sorry!

I hope you liked the card and have some ideas for the Spiral stamp.

Minion Mischief and Easy Card Backgrounds

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today for Crackerbox Stamps  and I have a brand new card featuring our favorite yellow-banana loving- mischeif makers!! MINIONS!

Today's card features the following stamps:

Fart Gun and Poof

If People are Talking

Sassy Dave

I had a lot of fun coloring Sassy Dave and his Fart Gun!  I fussy cut them both off, cutting around Dave's arm so he could "hold" the Fsrt Gun more effectively *hehe*.  

My background was made by ink Smooshing distress oxides onto watercolor paper.  Oxides are a lot of fun for this technique because they have the ability to "layer" on top of each other since the are somewhat opaque.  The key to not having the colors overman together is allowing the colors to dry before adding one on top.  I used Squeezed Lemonade, Blueprint Sketch, and Lost Shadow to create my background.

Once the background was completely dry I heat embossed my If People are Talking sentiment and stamped the Poof onto the background panel in black and gray inks.  The focal images were added to the panel using liquid adhesive to keep it simpler to mail.  

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Be sure to return again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!

You're my Favorite Muggle Card

Hello and Welcome!  This is Shanna today, and I am excited to share a fun project featuring Crackerbox Stamps! 

Today's card features one of my favorite magical stamps in the entire Crackerbox Stamps collection!  I have used this stamp a multitude of times on different cards--both in the background and as a featured image.  I absolutely adore the Castle of Hogwarts stamp THAT much!  I paired it with the Favorite Muggle sentiment for the perfect pair!

Now, let's talk a little about the card.  I love taking basic shape dies--a staple in most cardmakers' craft room-- and altering them to suit my needs.  For this card, I used a nested circle die set and cut 2 circles--a white one that I intended to stamp and color on, and a larger black one to mat my focal piece.  After stamping, I decided I wanted to "ground" my image some and cut off part of the bottom of the circle.  This made what in my head is easiest to call a "snow globe shape"!   They make dies that look like this - but why purchase another die set if I don't have to?? I would much rather buy more stamps!! haha. To match the cut with the black circle, I glued the smaller one to the black circle - lining up the top edges for reference, and then used my paper trimmer to snip off the straight edge of the black circle!  Do you like to alter dies at all??  What shape do you reach for most when card making?

My castle is colored completely in Copic markers, with a freehanded moon and night sky that were fun additions to the magical scene.  The Favorite Muggle sentiment was heat embossed in white embossing powder on black cardstock.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I will see you all again soon, Shanna.
